Invitation

[Pituitary Space]

When the operation against the first zombie, Jia Wen, in the underground garage ended, Luo Di peacefully closed his eyes.

His injuries are very serious.

But he knew very well that neither the class monitor, Yu Lu, nor the other organizers would let him die.

More pressing than his own injuries was returning to the Pituitary Space to examine the body.

Throughout the second level, Luo Di was working towards this goal. Even if he couldn't pass the level in the end, it didn't matter. As long as the corpse could be obtained, that was more important than anything else.

"It's done!"

Luo Di looked at the zombie body lying on the ground. The head structure that had been unable to form before was now complete.

No hair

Partial ulceration,

He is somewhat similar to Jia Wen.

Luo Di wasn't completely absorbed in the excitement; instead, he recalled the battle, "Mr. Jia Wen must have deliberately let me strike his head, so that my blade could suck out a part of his brain."

He knew about my 'corpse collection' business a long time ago.

Some of the original characters appear in the underground parking garage to fight us head-on, and they hold back to some extent... Of course, even if they hold back, the strength they show is comparable to, or even much higher than, the difficulty of the game itself.

If it weren't for the class monitor, and it were just me and Yu Lu, I would most likely be eliminated, or even killed.

In any case, you should thank them properly after you get out.

Luo Di reached out and touched the zombie body that was a manifestation of consciousness; it was unlike any of the corpses he had collected before.

Both the quality and firmness of the meat are top-notch. Most importantly, the corpse itself contains a strong biological characteristic that allows the body to be shaped through viruses.

Although the current amount of corpse material is far from enough to build a door.

But the zombie skeleton in front of us can be used alone to build a threshold.

Under Luo Di's control

The virus inside the corpse began to reconstruct the body, stretching continuously until it quickly formed a rotten white threshold. Both hands and feet were raised upwards to support the door structure above.

"My intuition was right! This zombie's body is simply the perfect building material. It can serve as a threshold and also form a foundation. Now all I need to do is think about building the door frame and the door itself."

Let's try to collect enough corpses in the later stages of the game; we can't keep this guy waiting too long.

Luo Di stood up, stepped across the white threshold, and reached out to touch the moon-like surface of his pituitary gland. He knew very well that this matter could not be delayed any longer.

Suddenly,

Luo Di felt something pierce his body, and his consciousness was forcibly pulled out of the Pituitary Space and returned to his body.

Buzz! I opened my eyes and woke up.

Luo Di was lying on a soft white bed, and a nurse in white wearing a rabbit mask had just given him an injection in the neck.

With just one needle, his injuries were repaired in a short time, and even the energy of his Old Spine was replenished. The liquid at the needle tip could be vaguely seen to be silvery-white, a substance that Luo Di had never encountered before.

Not only that.

There was also a group of people standing around.

The class monitor, Hua Yuan, Yu Lu, and Juan, whom they had met in the game before, stood on the right side.

The first zombie, Jia Wen, stood on the left.

At the foot of the bed is Mr. Question Mark, wearing a cloth bag over his head with symbols taped to it. The question mark is currently displayed horizontally, presenting a smiling face.

Luo Di was startled by the scene and sat up abruptly.

Although he subconsciously nodded to Jia Wen to express his gratitude, he quickly shifted his gaze back to Mr. Question Mark. For some reason, the question mark on the bag seemed to be drawing his vision and soul, forcing Luo Di to look over.

Not only was he nervous, but Hua Yuan and the class monitor were also tense and didn't say a word.

Mr. Question Mark was fiddling with something in his suit compartment when suddenly...

"Ta-da!"

Holding two shiny gold cards in my hand, not just one.

One copy was given to Yu Lu, and the other to the class monitor.

But Mr. Question Mark kept staring at Luo Di on the hospital bed, saying, "The pass allows you to skip the third level and go directly to the final level of this Death Grand Gauntlet."

However, before skipping the level, I need to confirm something with Mr. Di.

Why would the sorority arrange for two important sisters, and even your Grandmother, to give you an arm, to bring you here to participate in True Death Game?

It's clear that your Grandmother values you a lot; it's the first time I've seen her value a male so much... To be honest, I'm quite envious of your Mr. Di.

I've been in this corner for so long, and I've never seen a man move around freely in the sorority like you, and receive such treatment. Your kidneys must be amazing, probably even gilded.

Ahem, we've gotten off-topic~ Let's talk about why you participated in the game. I can roughly guess it's related to your sprouting. Could you explain it briefly?

Luo Di didn't hide anything and told them about collecting monster corpses, and also thanked Jia Wen for letting him off the hook, which allowed him to obtain important threshold materials.

Upon hearing the explanation, Mr. Question Mark changed; the question mark on his bag head stood upright, even showing a tendency to resemble an exclamation mark.

"Oh! No wonder you've been holding it in."

I see your pituitary gland was ready to sprout, but you actively suppressed it. It turns out it was waiting for another system from another world to grow together. Not bad, not bad at all—a very good idea.

As long as you follow the game rules and are strong enough, just collect the corpses.

If the game ends and you've finished collecting your corpses, how about you sprout here? I can guarantee you won't be disturbed by anyone, and I'll even give you some sprouting bonuses that no one else can provide.

"Thank you, Mr. Question Mark. If I collect all the building materials by the end of the game, I will consider sprouting here."

"Alright then, see you after the game. I hope you can win my planter!"

Personally, I love hidden endings and the like. If I'm going to play games again in the future, I must stick to this spirit of independent thinking and exploration.

I need to go prepare for the third stage. You guys rest here.

Mr. Question Mark left, with Jia Wen following closely behind.

Inside the ward,

After a brief silence,

Hua Yuan was the first to speak, and stepped forward to pinch Luo Di's cheek, "You actually received an invitation from Mr. Question Mark, you truly deserve to be the man I've set my sights on. I really want to reward you properly right here in this hospital bed."

Luo Di could only give an awkward smile and glance at the class monitor, who was still smiling.

"Well done."

Yu Lu, who was floating by the bedside, gave the simplest and most honest evaluation: since Luo Di had recovered, there was no need for her to stay here any longer.

She floated around the Hua Yuan and came to Wu Wen's side.

"Hua, Juan~ My mission this time is for this woman. I want to talk to her alone. You two can stay here."

Juan didn't care; she just wanted to stay here and see the man her Grandmother had acknowledged. As for Wu Wen, that wasn't her job, so there was no need for her to meddle.

Hua Yuan replied with a smile, "I knew Grandmother must have had another purpose in sending Sister Yu out. Go ahead, go ahead~ But don't let Wu Wen get away, she's very cunning."

"It's good that Mr. Di and I can share a room. If you're coming back later, please remember to knock."

As Hua Yuan spoke, she deliberately stared at the class monitor, her face already flushed.

But Wu Wen maintained her usual smiling expression, seemingly unconcerned.

"Then I'll leave my son Luo Di in the care of Sister Hua. Sister Yu and I will go out and have a chat first."

Wu Wen stopped looking at Hua Yuan and focused her gaze on Yu Lu, obediently following behind her as they left the ward together.

This action, however, was something Hua Yuan couldn't understand.

Instead of directly attacking Luo Di, she quietly followed him to the ward door to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two outside.

But there was no one outside the door; death had erased all traces.

"What is that old fox Wu Wen up to now? But since she's shown up on her own initiative, she probably can't escape. I must tie her up and take her back to the sorority's apartment, and make her bend over five times a day... ten times a day. And I'll have Luo Di tied up next to me and watch me bend over!"

Hua Yuan became increasingly excited as he thought about it, and even experienced some physiological reactions.

When she returned to the ward, Juan was already sitting on the edge of the bed, chatting and laughing with Luo Di...
