Clearing the Taotie's Nest Dungeon
Outside world.
Ji Yang Livestream Room.
In order not to miss any of Xu Xi's actions in the Dungeon, Ji Yang ultimately resisted the urge to pray to the Buddha.
Inside the Dungeon, the young man looked around, then touched his forehead with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"Bang bang--"
"Are you there? Can I borrow some soy sauce?"
After a knock on the door, a clear female voice rang out from outside.
The young people turned a deaf ear.
The comments section was equally unimpressed.
[Borrowing soy sauce? Who would believe such a flimsy excuse!]
"Bang bang--"
"Neighbor, are you there?"
"I really just wanted to borrow some soy sauce~"
Just as the comments section was filled with complaints about how persistent and bizarre the situation was, the young man, seemingly annoyed by the noise, walked to the door and opened it with considerable impatience.
Before he could even utter the words, "Hey boss, why did you just open the door like that? That weirdo outside is clearly up to no good," he was abruptly cut off by what he witnessed next.
The young man acted decisively and swiftly, easily eliminating the strange creature outside the door.
[... I don't know which to be shocked about first, are these two-meter-tall, muscular men for real?!]
[That's not the point. The point is, Mr. Xu Xi, your technique is a little too practiced, isn't it? (bewildered. jpg)]
However, it must be said that although the young man's methods were so brutal that they made their scalps tingle, they also possessed a unique... composure.
The other party's subsequent actions further illustrated what constitutes elegant violent aesthetics.
After standing beside the corpse and pondering for a while, the young man looked around the room again and quickly fixed his gaze on a chair.
An eyeball was embedded directly beneath the chair.
Just as the viewers in the live chat were about to express their shock and confusion, the young man got up and left the room.
What is Xu Xi planning to do? This is the question on the minds of countless netizens.
However, their doubts were answered within two minutes.
Knock on the door, behead someone, pick up the rope.
The young man seemed to have planned it all along, and without lingering in room 502, he went to the Second Floor.
After a polite knock, the door was pried open as if anticipated.
One second, the viewers in the live chat were getting goosebumps from the densely packed eyeballs in the room; the next second, the young man raised his axe and aimed it at those eyeballs.
From this point on, viewers in the Livestream Room completely lost their way.
In just over ten minutes, our own boss not only snatched, uh, three new Items, but didn't even stop there.
Under their bewildered gazes, the young man lured the Landlord out and then used three new Items to send the Landlord to room 101, where he made a deal with the dwarf named [Butcher].
After successfully obtaining a human skin from the dwarf, he wore it and went to the Sixth Floor.
The strangest thing is that after going through such a dazzling series of operations, the young man only managed to get a contract from the Sixth Floor.
But the moment the Butcher signed the contract, the white light indicating the Dungeon was cleared suddenly lit up.
Upon seeing this, the comments section fell silent for a long time.
If they remember correctly, Xu Xi's ranking is second in the country and fourth in the world, right?
The Dungeon that the second-ranked team in the country and the fourth-ranked team in the world participated in, while not ridiculously difficult, certainly wasn't easy either, right?
So, how did they suddenly find themselves transported back to Dungeon 248?!
Brothers and sisters, don't you feel a bit thirsty?
No, you're just overreacting.
That's called excitement!
"Agreement on the transfer of property rights and all debts..." In the instant the camera cut across the page, Ji Yang could see the words on the contract.
Considering the young man's series of actions, he probably understood a little.
"The rule in this building might be that anyone who puts on the Landlord's skin can become the new Landlord. 248 did get the Landlord's skin and became the temporary Landlord, but he was just using this skin as bait to lock the Landlord's karma onto the Butcher."
"Therefore, 248, who was neither a tenant nor Landlord, was no longer bound by this building."
As for how the young man was able to see through all of this so quickly...
The comments section responded, "If they knew that, wouldn't they be big shots?"

Huaguo netizens are very excited.
[Rank: 1][Name: Xu Xi][Completed Dungeons: 9][Climbing Floor Count: 866]
They are far ahead in both the Huaguo and Global Rankings!
Not just in Huaguo, but almost the entire world is watching.
From its sudden emergence to the present day, the young man has only been around for 11 days.
11 days!!
What this means is obvious.
The opponent's next Dungeon is very likely to be their last Dungeon.
They will either witness the fall of a young person, or... witness a miracle!
Compared to the clamor outside, the Player Forums are equally bustling.
Who wouldn't notice such a prominent number one ranking? And who wouldn't be utterly awestruck by the sheer number of Dungeons and the sheer Floor Count climbs?
Inside the Player Space.
Xie Simin stared blankly at the rankings on the panel, clearly deeply shaken.
After the player named Xu Xi canceled the party invitation, she guessed that the other party was most likely going to do a solo Dungeon.
Even though she already knew the other party was a top-tier player, but... leveled up 174 ranks in just one Dungeon?
No wonder people don't want to be matched with multiplayer Dungeons; in this expert's view, these so-called teammates might just be a burden.
Xie Simin subconsciously opened the forum.
Sure enough, the entire forum's homepage was flooded with posts.
The dedicated threads for the top ten players also became unusually lively.

Ji Yang had assumed the young man was already impatient, but he hadn't expected him to seem to have completely lost patience.
The screen in front of me, which had just gone black, lit up again in a matter of moments.
The entire internet was in an uproar, and the world was watching.
Huaguo issued an emergency notice that, in addition to important units, a special day holiday would be temporarily added nationwide. At the same time, all official channels and LED screens in city squares across the country were forcibly taken over and put into simultaneous broadcast.
At this moment, the eyes of the entire world are focused on this place.
Everyone watching the live stream was wondering, "Are we going to witness history?"
The young people on the screen showed them through their actions that of course they would.
Just like in the previous nine Dungeon, the opponent was calm, collected, and handled the situation with ease.
In the scene, white mist fills the air, which at first glance looks like the ethereal atmosphere of a blessed land, but upon closer inspection, it is revealed to be countless pale white spider silks suspended in the air.
The stone statue with a compassionate and peaceful face stands amidst the "celestial aura," its lowered eyelids gazing down at the humans below.
"Those who enter this place, do not inquire about the whereabouts of immortals. If you inquire about immortals, the immortals will also inquire about you."
"You Seeking Immortality, immortality seeks you. You become immortal, immortality becomes you."
The Dungeon, which was later officially named "Seeking Immortality" by the authorities, was once again easily cleared by the young man with an effortless demeanor.
[Rank: 1][Name: Xu Xi][Completed Dungeons: 10][Ladder Climb Floor Count: 999+]
That concludes the discussion.
The world is in an uproar; history has been written.
