Happy Residential Complex
Qin Rang stared blankly with his fox-like eyes.
Who would have thought? I had just closed my eyes to rest when I suddenly found myself on a soft stool instead of the hard floor, surrounded by a completely unfamiliar room.
Good grief, we're already in Instance?
Welcome to the Happy Residential Complex!
[Your identity is 'Family']
Please protect your identity and live happily with your family in the Happy Residential Complex.
The blood-red words disappeared before his eyes. Qin Rang rubbed his eyes wearily and stared blankly at the photo of himself smiling brightly on his desk for ten seconds.
On the desk, I saw myself dressed in a mature suit, my short hair combed up to reveal my forehead, and a strange smile playing on my lips, making me look like a mannequin.
Next to the photo is a computer and some household tools. On the desk are many dusty books and documents, indicating that the Master of this room does not often look at them.
Next to the desk was a double bed, and beside the bed was a large wardrobe. On the wall next to the wardrobe hung a huge wedding photo.
Qin Rang felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at his face in the wedding photo, intimately smiling with another woman who looked rather eerie.
The woman was pretty and had delicate makeup. She smiled brightly, but her eyes seemed alive, staring intently at her husband beside her. It wasn't a look of love; rather, it looked like she wanted to devour him.
It is currently known that he has entered a mysterious Instance Happy Residential Complex, which is one of the three classic S-Rank large-scale Instances.
It can't be that much of a coincidence; it's probably an S-Rank Instance...
Qin Rang already had a bad feeling about it.
He found a mirror on the wardrobe and carefully examined himself. He still looked the same and was the same age, but his clothes had been changed to a more mature suit, making him look older than his age.
His role in this Instance should be that of an uncle or Dad; judging from the wedding photos in the room, he is more inclined to believe that he is the Dad.
Qin Rang Instance participated in many family-themed role-playing Rules, but always as a child. This was the first time he had encountered a game where he was the male Master of the household.
Being the male Master the household means having greater power and freedom within the Rules. But it also means that the dangers of this Instance are not limited to the home.
"Knock knock knock."
"Dad, it's time to get up and go to work. Mom's calling you for breakfast."
A girl's voice suddenly rang out, accompanied by a loud knock on the door. Qin Rang's heart tightened, and he responded in a muffled voice, pretending to have just gotten up.
Having received a reply, the girl stopped pressuring him, Qin Rang quickly rummaged through drawers and cabinets to see if he could find any useful Rules.
He opened the drawer and found a termination notice inside.
[Dear Mr. Qin Rang, you officially joined our company in January 2065. After careful consideration, the company has decided to terminate your contract and process your dismissal.]
The inscription is signed by Weird Architecture Engineering Design Co., Ltd.., and dated March 1, 2075.
Qin Rang turned on the computer, which required a password, but the time and date could be seen in the corner: today is March 2, 2075.
He was fired right after the Chinese New Year, and the day after he was fired.
Qin Rang quickly thought it over. The bizarre event in reality occurred in 2065 when he arrived on Blue Star. Since he was known to have been sucked into the Instance in the Lily Weird Zone, the most likely place he is now in is the Weird Instance within the Lily Weird Zone.
Wang Ding once said that there was an S-Rank neighborhood anomaly opposite the Lily Hospital where Moonlit Night was located, which was also the closest high-level Weird Instance to them, so he was very likely pulled into this Instance.
Unable to find the Rules, Qin Rang could only search through more of his own information. He could dawdle for a while when his daughter called him for dinner, but if he dawdled for too long, "Mom" would definitely get angry.
In this type of Instance, revealing a flaw results in Out-of-Character (OOC). In this purely role-playing Residential Complex Instance, OOC is the biggest fatal Rules.
These are all experiences that the Authorities have painstakingly summarized.
The daughter just told him to get up and go to work, which means the Master hasn't told them he was fired from his job?
Or was this a deliberate test, a test to see if he was truly "Dad"?
Unfortunately, after a cursory search, Qin Rang couldn't find any more information. He could only tell from the man's clothing and the style in the photos that he was a very quiet and rigid middle-aged man.
He restored every part of the house he had searched, and just as he was about to turn the handle and leave, a notification popped up saying that a live stream had started.
Qin Rang was taken aback and subconsciously looked at his wrist. A blue current ran along his fingertips, a notification that the live stream had started.
On his way to the Lily Weird Zone, he handed the phone with the live stream enabled to Wang Ding, letting him decide Instance to start. He hadn't started the live stream when the group faced the Class A Weird before, but he started it now; he must have sensed something.
His teammates should all be inside by now.
Although it was still early morning, the Authorities received the live broadcast immediately, and people who were on their way to work early gathered around, their faces solemn.
The live stream screen is divided into several parts, and each person is in a different location.
Not only were there six people in Qin Rang's live stream, but many other people's shots also appeared, which is the inconvenience of random live streams.
Tao Yun stared at the red "S-Rank Happy Residential Complex" sign above the live stream, her breath catching in her throat for a moment.
It's an S-Rank Instance!
"Quick, go ask if any S-Rank Purger haven't entered the Instance yet! Go rescue them!"
Although these teenagers are all very powerful, they are all just adults and still children. Why would they go to an S-Rank Instance?
Her daughter was in there too!
"Yes!"
At that moment, many people living in the residential area received a sudden live stream. Everyone quickly realized that it was a randomly appearing live stream window. When they saw the bright red S-Rank and the familiar Calamity Crossing Squad, they hurriedly called their friends to watch together.
Tao Yun looked at Qin Rang in the live stream with surprise, rubbed her wrist, took a deep breath and was about to open the door when a phone call came in.
"It's bad, Head of the Tao Family! Many people are reporting that their family members, friends, and even some Purger and Surveyor teams have been pulled into the Instance from safe Residential Zone."
"It's unclear what kind of Instance it is at the moment, but based on the on-site detection, we can sense a dense amount of energy; it's probably... S-Rank!"
Tao Yun instantly turned her head to look at the live broadcast room, her knuckles turning bluish-white from clenching her fists so tightly.
Only S-Rank Instance could randomly select Instance from such a distance.
Can these people, who have been living comfortably in their Residential Zone for too long, really survive an S-Rank Instance? Was this decision to stream... the right one?
Qin Rang opened the bedroom door and was met with a pale, flat head that looked as if it had been crushed by a huge object.
