Even though it's just a short line, it involves a great deal of things.
In an instant, a flood of information rushed into Shen Hao's brain, causing him some confusion.
Fortunately, his Mental Attributes are relatively high, and he processes this information very quickly.
My brain raced, analyzing the information from that causal link.
After filtering out countless useless pieces of information, he finally found what he was looking for.
He saw two men talking and heard some of their conversation.
"Didn't you enter the Home of Evil Ghosts's Instance? That's Anomalous Instance. Are you alright? Didn't you lose any experience points?"
"It's okay, I didn't die in the Instance."
"Really? How did you do that?!"
I've heard that no one has ever survived Anomalous Instance; you're the first, aren't you?
"I don't know if I'm the first one. Besides me, there should be other people who have survived the Anomalous Instance."
However, I'm not sure who they are.
"If that's the case, wouldn't you get a special bonus from the Instance?"
"Yes, I did receive the special bonus from the Instance, and now my strength is in no way inferior to players who are more than ten levels higher than me."
"I'm so envious! How did you do it? We've been best buddies for so many years, can you share your secrets?"
"Actually, I didn't even enter the Instance; I used a game item. If you have a similar item, you can do it too."
What prop?
"My item allows me to skip Instance before entering Instance."
If others successfully complete the level, I will also receive the reward; however, if others fail, I will not receive anything, but I will not suffer any loss either.
"There's such a thing?"
"This is a reward I got after clearing an Instance. It's rare, but not expensive either. I've tried to sell it several times but haven't been able to, so I've just kept it."
Before entering the Instance, I suddenly had a premonition that it might be an Anomalous Instance, so I used this item.
I really didn't expect it; my hunch was right, it really is Anomalous Instance.
To my surprise, because my teammates triggered Anomalous Instance bonus, even though they all died, I also received the Instance bonus.
"This works?! This is simply..."
"I'm only telling you this, but don't tell anyone else. We've been secretly collecting these kinds of props during this time."
These kinds of items used to be worthless and not very useful, but now that there are Anomalous Instance, they've become incredibly valuable.
"By stacking more buffs, we'll be even more competitive in Special Instance."
After hearing this conversation, Shen Hao finally confirmed that some players had indeed escaped the Anomalous Instance alive.
And there's more than one player like that.
Although he didn't let anyone escape from the Instance, some people didn't even enter the Instance, but due to the special mechanics of the Anomalous Instance, they received special bonus effects.
He recalled the Instance of the Home of Evil Ghosts.
There are two teams, one of which only has four people. The missing person is most likely the player who didn't enter the Instance.
He always felt it was like a bug, and that players were exploiting this bug to gain special advantages.
This tactic was truly impossible for him to defend against.
But now that he possesses the Demon Heart, he's not afraid even if these players receive a boost once or twice.
He was worried about players who received Anomalous Instance bonuses more than ten times in a row.
If such a player truly existed, destroying the world would be a piece of cake for them.
However, such a thing is unlikely to happen.
He was 100% certain that a player's strength could not surpass that of the game's creator, because the player's power came from the game's creator.
He was also certain that while the game's creator was powerful, he couldn't dedicate too much of his energy to this world.
Therefore, the bonuses that players receive cannot keep doubling indefinitely.
He doesn't need to worry about this too much.
However, now that we've discovered such a player, we certainly can't let him go easily.
In the past, he might have had no way to find out who these people were, but now he can not only find that person, but also kill him easily.
He can only blame himself for being unlucky, or he can blame his big-mouthed friend.
He extracted the person's information and learned their name and basic details.
His name is Meng Jie, a level 29 player with the ability of Witch System.
After being matched with Instance, he, as usual, estimated the level of danger he would face participating in the Instance.
He discovered that his chances of completing the Instance were extremely low, with only a very small probability of surviving.
So he abandoned the idea of entering the Instance and used items as a substitute.
Everything that followed was exactly as he said; it was indeed an Anomalous Instance.
However, he escaped the Instance's penalty and instead gained a permanent bonus.
However, his good luck has run out, and Shen Hao will definitely not let him go.
The Eye of Cause and Effect and effect not only helps to find the truth through subtle clues, but also enables one to make contact with the target through these causes and effects.
Therefore, he doesn't need to go to this person in person; he can make contact with the target simply by staying at home.
In other words, he could kill someone from his own home.
Through the causal link with Meng Jie, Shen Hao saw Meng Jie.
At this moment, Meng Jie is inside one of his houses.
Through the cause-and-effect relationship, Shen Hao learned almost everything about Meng Jie's life.
He became a gamer seven years ago. At that time, he was just an ordinary person from a poor family, and he didn't even have the money to buy Instance guide.
Fortunately, most players in this game are quite nice, and since he has high emotional intelligence, players are willing to share strategies with him in the game.
So his gaming journey went very smoothly. In just a few months, he became Ability User and even leveled up to level 20 or higher, becoming a high-level player.
He is now a wealthy man. Some of his money is legitimate, but some was acquired through dishonest means.
He has done his fair share of coercing others by taking advantage of his abilities, but he knows how to keep his distance, only seeking money and not doing anything too outrageous.
Therefore, even though some people knew about his misdeeds, no one wanted to do anything to him.
After all, no one wants to offend a high-level player like him over trivial matters.
Because many people who have gained extraordinary powers have done similar things.
He's been in a particularly good mood these past few days.
Because he successfully survived the Anomalous Instance, he also gained the bonus effects of the Anomalous Instance, more than doubling his strength.
His future is now incredibly bright. He feels he has a good chance of clearing the Anomalous Instance, getting in touch with the truly extraordinary, and evolving his own level of existence.
At that moment, he was holding a cup, sipping tea.
Suddenly, he jumped up from the sofa and looked around. For some reason, he had a bad feeling.
