White Prawn Makes Me Happy

"Rooftop?"

In a room on the sixth floor, everyone except Temperance Gentleheart was stunned after hearing what Bai Zhi said.

"Hmm? That's right. The Unique place the survivors we need to rescue in the mission can be on the rooftop."

Bai Zhi nodded as he ate his takeout.

"Didn't you all see the stairs? The door to the rooftop has disappeared, and the stairs are embedded straight into the ceiling. That's a pretty obvious clue."

Why can't the hetushu exist anywhere else?

He frowned slightly and spoke in Iron Blood voice.

"There must be many places in this building that haven't been searched yet, right?"

"... It's because of the sun, isn't it?"

The Traveler reached up, took off his Glasses, wiped them with his sleeve, and let out a long sigh.

"When the sun disappears, the Anomaly inside this building will become unusually active. Even Player like us with Constitution far exceeding those of common have to be careful to avoid it. So what about common?"

"But that possibility should also exist, right?"

Sitting on the bed, Doloth couldn't help but speak.

"For example, they might know how to hide, or there might be a completely safe room on some floor here, like the Director’s Office..."

"The Director’s Office was on the sixth floor, but it was completely swallowed up by that Man-eating Room long ago... Look, this is the room we're in now."

With a slight pursed lip, Bai Zhi interrupted the other person.

"So, stop thinking about going to the Director’s Office. If we continue to waste time on this kind of thing, and someone among us gets killed, leading to another rollback, then..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zhi suddenly stood up, turned his head with a solemn expression and looked out the window.

"!!!"

Seeing Bai Zhi's sudden action, the others immediately tensed up and, without caring what had happened, quickly hid.

"What's wrong? Is there some Anomaly approaching?"

Hiding behind a Sofa that had been bitten in half, the Traveler asked Bai Zhi in a low, nervous voice.

"Oh, I've been sitting for too long, my legs are numb. I'll stand up and relax for a bit."

Everyone: "..."

"Huh? Why are you all staring at me like that?"

He sat down again, looking quite self-assured.

"Sitting for too long can definitely cause your legs to go numb. Haven't you experienced this before?"

"... It's a miracle you haven't been beaten to death yet."

With Temperance Gentleheart, Xinrou turned her head away, her lips twitching.

"You guys are the ones who are being paranoid, aren't you?"

With a slight pursed lip, Bai Zhi casually took out the remaining takeout orders from his Inventory.

"By the way, are you sure you don't want to order takeout? I still have six orders left... Okay, now it's five."

"While smart people are still debating whether or not to order takeout, savvy people have already started eating... wait a minute."

As if in retaliation, she grabbed a takeout order from the table, opened the bag, and looked at the identical dishes and presentation. Before she could finish her smug remark, Temperance Gentleheart turned her head suspiciously to look at the unfinished takeout order in front of Bai Zhi. Then her gaze swept over the five takeout orders lined up on the table in front of her.

"... So what kind of boredom drove you to order seven identical takeout meals?"

"I've seen this kind of thing many times. All I can say is that those who know, know; those who don't, I won't explain further. It's best to keep it to yourself. Don't ask me what happened; the interests involved are too great, and explaining wouldn't benefit either of us. Just pretend you don't know. All I can say is that this is a very complex situation involving many things. You'll have a hard time finding the details yourself; most of it has been deleted from the internet. So, all I can say is that those who know, know."

With his eyes half-closed, Bai Zhi gave a serious answer amidst the pained stares of everyone around him.

"Generally speaking, it's White Prawn Makes Me Happy."

"... Is this the latest Urban Legend, the Crazy Delivery Guy?"

The Traveler was clearly someone who frequently searched for information about Urban Legend online, and he quickly connected it to this Anomaly. Without any hesitation, he stepped forward, picked up a takeout order, and began to speak with a smile.

"To be honest, I also wish I could have encountered such a good deal as 'buy one get six free.' I was even thinking of faking it, but I didn't get to."

"Well, looking at you, with your thick eyebrows, big eyes, broad shoulders, and handsome features, I never expected you to be a freeloader too?"

Bai Zhi glanced at him sideways.

Traveler: "..."

The group fought from morning until three or four in the afternoon, experiencing numerous battles and dangerous situations in between. Needless to say, the physical and mental exhaustion they endured was immense.

Although everyone had food Storage in their Inventory, no one declined when someone offered to treat them. Apart from Temperance Gentleheart and the Traveler, Doloth and VerdantRipple each took a portion.

The Unique exception was Iron Blood, who was sitting against the wall. He didn't go up to get the takeout, but silently took out a pack of Compressed Ration and water from his Inventory and ate it by himself.

But that's just his personality, so nobody really cares.

Are you so sure those survivors are really on the rooftop?

After several hours of rest, VerdantRipple has basically regained her mobility. One of the hidden benefits of her high Constitution attribute is the increased self-healing ability of the human body, with excellent automatic health regeneration efficiency.

"Hmm? I haven't been sure yet."

Taking out an Apple to aid digestion after the meal, Bai Zhi casually answered while eating the Apple.

"However, if the probability of something is greater than 50%, then there is a need to gamble. Everyone is a born gambler."

"... What if I lose the bet?"

Originally, she only wanted to boost her confidence through the other party's answer, but Bai Zhi's nonchalant reply made VerdantRipple's expression stiffen.

"Hey, that's no problem. I can provide Suicide Gun and Bullet here. One shot is all it takes, guaranteed to be quick, easy, and painless."

Bai Zhi waved his hand considerately.

"Yeah, no pain, no pain... I really believed your lies. How come I was Corpse Bone when I reloaded my save file last time?"

Using her Chopsticks to poke at the box, Temperance Gentleheart muttered resentfully to herself.

"What the hell? I only have one shoe left..."

VerdantRipple / Traveler /Doloth: "..."

Iron Blood silently ate a bite of Compressed Ration.
