Parking Garage

Luo Di's main attention was still focused on this special boss, who was also one of the rulers of the City of Sin, and a mysterious figure known as the "Question Mark".

Of course, he wouldn't use the crow's special vision to spy on them, lest he offend them.

It's just normal visual observation.

He didn't feel the same high-level pressure as his Grandmother; instead, he couldn't sense anything at all, not even a breath. The other person gave Luo Di the feeling of an ordinary person.

Luo Di's gaze slowly shifted to the dark planter with its strange, human-face-like sheen, only after the other party produced the so-called final winner's prize.

It's strange.

Compared to the astonishment of the others, Luo Di didn't feel much. He just felt that the planter was exquisite, and that it seemed to contain a rich energy, an energy associated with fear.

"A flower, what is this?"

Hua Yuan frowned and gently poked Luo Di's forehead with her finger. "Huh? You don't even know what a planter is... Wait, what did you call me?"

"Hua Yuan, what's wrong?"

"Tsk~ It's nothing. We're just really lucky. The final reward in the past was also very valuable, but it wasn't this good."

"Tell me quickly."

Hua Yuan put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and looked down at Luo Di: "What's going on? How dare a mere Male Servant speak to his master like that? But I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you."

This is a "planting pot" specifically designed for cultivating plants, also known as a "Fear Vessel".

Any monster that achieves Pituitary Gland Sprouting will choose to buy a planter after earning its first pot of gold in the corner.

This substance can be introduced into the Pituitary Space, serving as a culture dish for the pituitary gland, allowing the plant to take root and achieve stable growth.

The soil in the pot will continuously provide nutrients to the corners, which greatly helps the plant to mature and develop after maturity.

Monsters without planters and monsters with planters, even if their innate characteristics are exactly the same, will have a significant difference in their development after birth.

You haven't sprouted yet, so you can't feel this urgent need.

Once it sprouts, your pituitary gland will require a large supply of nutrients; even a slight deficiency will cause you to experience intense weakness and hunger... Prolonged nutrient deficiency can even lead to self-destruction.

"I roughly know."

Luo Di had a similar feeling before, which he replenished by eating a lot of Brain Flower. He figured the feeling would be even stronger when the sprouts appeared.

What's different about this planter? How does it differ from a regular planter?

"Once you understand how planters are formed, you'll know the difference. You must know the concept of ' Fear Entity,' right?"

As the Corner Depth increases, the concentration of Fear Entity becomes higher, which not only creates various events, but also forms disasters like those that cover the area where the sorority is located.

Fear Entity can manifest in many ways, and sometimes it can even aggregate into a large amount of some kind of substance.

To obtain a planter, you need to use a "container" to collect Fear Entity. You can collect some by completing each event. Additionally, you can collect condensed matter directly in some very dangerous areas.

When the collection reaches a certain amount, the Fear Entity between the containers undergoes a qualitative change, transforming into soil that is bound together with the container itself, forming a planter.

Most planters are collected from the Mid-Shallow Layer, while better ones are collected entirely from the Mid-level Zone of the Fear Entity. This process is very lengthy, which is why the price is higher.

current,

The "planter" shown by Mr. Question Mark is even more advanced.

I could sense that the Fear Entity within it came not only from the middle layer, but also contained something deeper, more mysterious, and more intense.

You should know that most monsters can only move around in the Corner Mid-level Zone at present, and no proper [Connection Port] has yet been found that leads to the deeper levels.

The middle layer is basically the current limit for penetrating deep into corners.

This determines the value of the planter; it is estimated that Mr. Question Mark personally collected the Fear Entity from the 'dungeon' and made the planter himself.

Such a precious item could fetch an astronomical price on the market, yet it's being offered as a reward; this Death Grand Gauntlet is likely to be extremely difficult.

Anyway, I believe in you, Luo Di! You have to win! And then lend me this pot for six months, since you haven't sprouted yet anyway.

Hua Yuan's explanation touched on several points of information that Luo Di was unaware of, but he did not ask any questions, only needing to know the general meaning and value of planters.

Since that's the case, Luo Di decided to go all out and show off the results of his hellish training.

The voice then came from inside Mr. Question Mark's bag:

"This challenge is meticulously designed by me. It will last longer than before and be even more brutal. Moreover, not everyone will necessarily survive to the end, and there is a high chance that I won't be able to distribute the rewards I have."

But don't be nervous, since it's my design, the game will definitely be fun, and there will be death but also a way to survive.

Without further ado, let's begin the first round of the Death Grand Gauntlet.

[Depth Lost].

The servants present will be assigned to ten extremely easy-to-get-lost spatial scenes according to the numbers drawn next. If they can find the exit within a fixed time, they will advance to the next round.

Let's start the draw.

One person can only take one; it cannot be exchanged.

Mr. Question Mark snapped his fingers,

Then, dense wads of paper rained down from the roof like snowflakes.

Since the specific scenario and difficulty of the number were unknown, there was no need for people to fight over it; they simply caught the slips of paper that landed nearby.

Luo Di firmly held the paper strip at the top of his head, unfolded it, and saw that the number on it was [7]. Such a number does not seem to be considered auspicious in Huaxia Nation.

Just when Luo Di thought he would be directed to the corresponding exit based on the specific number.

Mr. Question Mark snapped his fingers again... snap!

Click! The floor beneath his feet suddenly disappeared, and he plummeted downwards.

Or rather, all the servants who received the note, whether or not they unfolded it, encountered the same situation: falling into an unknown territory.

Luo Di is highly adaptable, and the sense of balance brought about by his acting skills led him to discover the problem.

What is happening now is not a fall, but an ascent.

It's like riding a pitch-black elevator, rapidly ascending between coffin-shaped black buildings, heading to a certain floor, and starting the first Death Grand Gauntlet.

really,

Luo Di didn't feel the impact of falling to the ground; instead, he remained firmly on the ground as the surrounding darkness gradually disappeared, and the scene before him completely changed.

The ballast of the Incandescent Lamp was buzzing.

A cool, damp breeze brushed against my face, and my tongue tasted a hint of gasoline.

Rows of gasoline-powered cars were neatly parked within the marked areas on both sides.

The sign at the end reads: [Exit →, Buildings 51-66 ↑, Buildings 1-50 →, Buildings 66-99 ←].

"Underground parking garage?"

Luo Di quickly surveyed the surrounding environment.

No danger was found.

There were no other participants, and it's estimated that everyone's initial positions were quite far apart, so they wouldn't meet for the time being.

"Judging from Mr. Question Mark's tone, finding the exit here should be very difficult, and the garage exit most likely doesn't point to the real exit."

But it's also possible that the other party is deliberately playing this trick to manipulate our thoughts.

"Let's check the garage exit first, no matter what."

Given the time constraint, Luo Di acted immediately, but he minimized the sound of his shoes to almost nothing. After all, in this type of underground parking garage, any sound could travel a long distance and could cause trouble.

Just as Luo Di reached the sign and was about to turn right...

Tap The tongue in my mouth suddenly made a snapping sound.

The knocking even caused a slight tear and bleeding at the base of his Tongue Root. Luo Di suddenly stopped, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down his temples.

He had never felt such a strong Danger Perception before.

Without any hesitation,

Spinal drive,

It sprinted at full speed in the exact opposite direction, heading towards another parking area.

Not long after Luo Di left the current garage area, the Incandescent Lamp flickered violently, and a "person" walked over from the direction of the exit.

A man in a gentleman's suit, leather shoes, and a cloth hood.

Sniffing the lingering scents in the air, I continued to trace the past on foot.
