Chapter 23: S-Rank Instance. (Second Update)

Ning Rong lowered her eyes, hiding the emotion that flashed through them for a moment.

This sub-skill could obtain other people's items and game coins for her, then... skills?

The answer seemed to be yes.

Only, the price was unknown.

It was still a little early to think about that now. First, she needed to level up her skills and develop more of them.

【I know I'll get cursed out for saying this, but I still have to say it. That calm posture of hers just now really looked too much like Domain God.】

【I don't know if it's because you said it too much, but suddenly I kind of feel the same...】

【Can you people stop already? If you've got the guts, say it directly in front of Domain God. Everyone is unique. There's no need to compare people.】

【Still talking about Domain God? Don't you know something happened to him?】

【What happened? What happened to Domain God?】

【He entered the S-rank game Dream Return thirteen days ago. Logically speaking, he should have come out five days ago, but there has still been no news until now.】

【It's already confirmed that something happened to him. Just got the news from Wilderness's livestream room. He should not be dead yet, but there's a ninety-nine percent chance he got lost in the game.】

【Wilderness has been asking around about Domain God's real-life matters for the past three days.】

【Tsk. Wilderness is the head of the current number one organization, and he and Domain God have a blood-deep grudge. He's looking for Domain God's family... could he be planning to vent his anger on them?】

【Very likely. In these three days, he found out Domain God has a child, probably around twenty years old. Still unclear whether male or female. Domain God protected them pretty well normally.】

【I enjoy watching humans scheme against each other, but family shouldn't be involved. Wilderness's methods are a bit low-class.】

【Don't expect character from Wilderness. Compared with him, Chi Juan's actions are just children playing house.】

【No, please. Domain God is one of my favorite ancient veteran players. There were always rumors that after entering the game for many years, he could have left the game world long ago. But because he wanted to revive someone very important, he needed a huge amount of points, so he kept staying in the game all these years. He held on for so many years, so how did it suddenly become like this...?】

【If someone gets lost in the game, is there still hope of surviving?】

【Unless someone goes in to pull him out, otherwise the chances are slim. But even if someone is willing to go rescue him, the difficulty is huge. Dream Return has wiped entire teams countless times. No player has ever cleared it.】

【Dream Return is literal hell difficulty. And as everyone knows, Dream Return opens once every six months. What does that mean? It means every half year, a batch of veteran players die.】

【The National Main Team took a huge hit this time. Domain God was their stabilizing pillar. If even he got lost, then they must have lost plenty of other veteran players too.】

【I want to ask—can any player actually clear Dream Return?】

【No wonder the National Main Team has been anxious these past few days. Losing so many veteran players, they must urgently need genius newcomers now, right?】

【And look, a boss lady just happened to emerge. Someone from the Main Team has definitely contacted boss lady already.】

【Am I the only one worried that Domain God's child is miserable? Being targeted by Wilderness can't mean anything good.】

【Never expected Domain God to actually have a child. Wonder what they look like, and whether they resemble Domain God.】

【Can only say—good luck to them.】

When Ning Rong and Zhou Yujing arrived at the first floor, the receptionist informed them that for the next few days, professional workers would repaint their rooms during the daytime, and rooms would only be available for occupancy after 18:00.

Although painters working on walls while guests were staying in rooms sounded absurd, in an infinite horror game, ordinary logic clearly could not be used to judge anything.

Ning Rong tapped her fingers lightly on the front desk.

“Then what are we supposed to do the rest of the time?”

She had also already learned that no one could leave the hotel during this period. The hotel's main entrance had completely vanished, leaving no trace that a revolving door had ever existed.

The receptionist smiled with perfect professionalism.

“The remaining time will be very interesting. You certainly won't find it boring.”
