The Last Day

This card seems to match the Weird Object I just drew.

Lin Nieran didn't leave the house all day, but his cards were never idle.

As evening approached, Qin Rang and his group were preparing to disperse and go home. Tonight, they didn't plan to go to the Dark Side; they would first settle the Rules of their respective homes.

He had already prepared a new fake contract, intending to tell his family today that he had "resigned" and was now working hard to find a new job, creating the illusion that he had finally found one in the past few days.

That should allow us to get through this stage smoothly.

"Bai Yang, are you going back to work the night shift tonight?" Qin Rang asked.

Bai Yang said, "That's right. I don't work during the day with you guys, but I can't always skip work. I have to switch shifts."

As they were talking, the road in front of them suddenly became much quieter. The group sensed something was wrong and slowed their pace.

"It sounds like someone is calling for help," An Ying said.

The group slowly retreated, when suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind them.

"Tonight, I've chosen you as my live stream guests?"

The group paused, and before they could speak, a mouth-shaped Weird Object suddenly appeared above Sheng Qingqiao's head and spoke in Sheng Qingqiao's voice.

"Okay, okay."

Sheng Qingqiao looked completely bewildered. "What the heck? Who's this?"

He didn't say anything!

As soon as they finished speaking, the area around them disappeared, and they reappeared in a lavish live-streaming room.

In front of them was a huge screen, with a dense barrage of welcome messages popping up on the screen. Beside them stood a somewhat familiar woman in a long dress and high heels.

"Welcome our new guest! Do you think this new guest will survive until the end of the live stream?"

"Don't say I'm bullying newbies, here are the Livestream Room Rules."

Qin Rang stared at the densely packed dozen or so Rules on the screen in front of him, and then everything went black.

"I think I might know who used these methods to trick us into coming here," Tao Yuan, his face grim.

"Who else could it be? It must be someone from the Worship God faction. Who else would be fighting amongst themselves in this Weird Instance?"

"That's outrageous!"

Bai Yang: "How about we look at the Rules first?"

[1. As a qualified guest, you cannot refuse the requests of your fans.]

Second, as a qualified guest, you have standards for attracting new users, which you must achieve.

Third, as a qualified guest, you need to have basic sales skills and sell the required amount.

...]

Before they could read the rules a second time, the Camerahead had already mysteriously turned them off.

He smiled mysteriously and said, "Aren't there a lot of guests today? Don't worry, there's more surprise for everyone!"

"Now, please welcome our Assistant Livestream Guest!"

Amidst the eerie, jarring applause from the Camerahead, a familiar figure opened the door to the room and walked out with a smile.

That gentle smile, that tasteful attire—who else Wen Keke?

Qin Rang looked at the live stream, and the moment Wen Keke appeared, all the comments in the eerie live stream exploded.

Who is this Assistant Livestream Guest? Let's get to know them!

[They look so approachable!]

[It would be so great if she were a guest; it's a shame the assistant host can't interact with us.]

Tao Yuan also saw these comments, and her bad premonition grew stronger.

"Hello everyone, my name is Wen Keke. It's a great honor to be with you all tonight." Wen Keke smiled as she looked at the live stream. "It's a pity there are even more outstanding guests than me tonight, otherwise I could have interacted and met with everyone. Please be sure to give them high scores!"

Bai Yang: "If you say that, we're going to get low scores."

"Alright, everyone knows each other, so let's skip the introductions and get started with our live stream."

The Camerahead's eerie movement drew everyone's attention back to the live stream, and it announced enthusiastically, "Tonight, it's the same old routine. After the three games, everyone and the Assistant Livestream Guest will score the guests. Low scores will result in small punishments, and high scores will receive rewards. Now, let the games begin!"

"Then, for the first game, we'll be playing with Item! Assistant host Ms. Wen Keke, please remember to keep track of the donations. The Item that gets the most Item will be used on our guest."

Wen Keke a thumbs-up, her eyes already fixed on the option "Perform the magic trick of making a person disappear (1444 yuan)".

The Camerahead eerily displayed a long list of virtual gifts. The names of the gifts were downright malicious: "Perform a cliff fall scene (44 yuan)," "Perform a love story of life and death (444 yuan)," etc.

"Look at the last one," Wang Ding said.

Everyone looked over, and the name of the last gift was quite normal and straightforward.

Key to the North Gate of Happy Residential Complex (444,444 yuan).

Qin Rang said, "We must get this."

Bai Yang shrugged. "I want to know how Wen Keke got in."

An Ying: "Could she have used some kind of Weird Object? That mouth-shaped Weird Object might be the one she used."

"More than anything, I'd like to know if we can get her to come down as a guest too. She's definitely up to no good sitting there," Sheng Qingqiao muttered.

Qin Rang: "Perhaps we can give it a try."

That night, both the Protagonist Group and the villains had an extremely exciting night, while Lin Nieran slept soundly.

The next day, when Lin Nieran met the group, he noticed the deep dark circles under their eyes. Reassuringly, none of them were missing, and they had successfully obtained the North Gate key.

On the sixth day of the Instance, Lin Nieran dealt with the Dessert Chef's cards and released her into other Weird Zone.

The reason she wasn't sent to the Danger Zone was because her card level wasn't very high, and unlike Modian, the Dessert Chef, while also somewhat unreliable, was at least able to communicate with people.

After finishing her Dessert Chef, Lin Nieran went to check on Modian again. What she sensed was quite shocking.

This madman actually has people in Yangcheng who worship him, spontaneously creating a wave of admiration and attracting many imitators.

Lin Nieran greatly puzzled; as expected, there were still more abnormal people than normal.

On the sixth night, Lin Nieran and Qin Rang had a brief meeting in the hallway.

Qin Rang and Sheng Qingqiao looked much more tired than a few days ago, yawning constantly as if they hadn't slept for days and nights.

Lin Nieran looked around and asked, "Why are only the two of you here?"

Sheng Qingqiao leaned against the stair railing, dozing off listlessly. "Sister Tao and An Ying are trying to get the remaining people from the Dark Side out. There are still many who haven't been granted family status. Tomorrow is the last day; if they don't come out soon, they'll miss their chance."

"The Garbage Truck can only come out at noon, and there's a time limit. We learned from the challenge in the live stream that this Instance will end at dawn on the eighth day. There's definitely going to be a big surge tomorrow night."

Qin Rang said, "Boss Lin, we plan to ambush Lin Yi before six o'clock tomorrow. If the Instance isn't over by then, it means we haven't succeeded. At that time, we'll go all out against the majority of the Purger."

Lin Nieran asked curiously, "What are you planning to do?"

Sheng Qingqiao said, "We've confirmed that we can leave through the North Gate."

Qin Rang nodded and continued, "We found the key in the live broadcast room, but to open the door with the key, we need to make sure the North Gate is powered off before we can use the key."
