Revenge and Return

It's 8:00 AM now, and they have about 11 hours left before their return.

In the past, they would have all been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the final unknown crisis, never daring to relax for a moment. This would have been the correct procedure for Survival Quest like this.

However, now that Bai Zhi has written out the correct answers and all they need to do is carefully copy them down, the original atmosphere has suddenly become completely different.

"Yes, 3."

On the open ground in the Entertainment Area, PrayerUnderDreams threw down two cards.

"Yes, number 2, on the tube."

Bai Zhi unhesitatingly threw out two 2s... and then Heavenless Heretic was even more decisive.

"A royal flush!!"

"... We're in cahoots; he's the landlord."

After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi turned his head away without a word.

"I know, but can't I hit you?"

After taking a bath at the swimming pool, turning the water completely black (hetushu. com), and also shaving his head Heavenless Heretic looked utterly innocent.

"... Okay, you can go ahead."

Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oh, a 3."

He chuckled a few times and Heavenless Heretic threw out a card.

"One 4."

PrayerUnderDreams coughed a few times.

"One 5, on the tube."

"Oh, a 2. Do you want it? If not, I'll play another one. Look, another 3."

"..."

Looking at Shen Wutianxie, who Heavenless Heretic slapped Zhang San to the ground right in front of him, Bai Zhi thought this guy was Mind's Eye... Didn't anyone teach you that it's best not to offend me?

Following in the footsteps of a certain Shady Merchant, someone silently added another entry to their mental notebook.

"... Should we jump in from here in a bit?"

Standing in front of a small square window next to the swimming pool, looking into the bottomless passageway inside, the Night Owl's face appeared slightly pale.

"Actually, this kind of thing is the same as sleeping. You open and close your eyes, and the night is over."

Holding an Apple in his hand, Bai Zhi stood to the side, eating as he spoke.

"Just close your eyes and jump. It's just a little dirty, right? In the face of Life and Death crisis, who cares about such trivial matters?"

"This is not a small thing at all... Never mind, here you go."

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Night Owl reached out and took off the pendant she was wearing around her neck, handing it to the other person.

"Thank you so much for taking care of me during this mission. If it weren't for you, I don't know how the mission would have turned out."

"It's nothing."

Shrugging, Bai Zhi accepted the pendant.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to say to you. May I ask you...?"

"Hey, do we really need to do this?"

Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, a head popped out from the Ingredient Area with a conflicted expression, holding a tomato in one hand Zither-Drum Harmony asking him a question.

"Isn't this clearly a waste of food?"

"Foolish! Do you even know the saying 'an army marches on its stomach'?"

Turning his head to look at the area where the Zither-Drum Harmony, Bai Zhi had a cold smile on his face.

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to ourselves!! What's there to feel sorry for those who betrayed humanity and aided and abetted the evildoers!? Keep the music playing, keep dancing!!"

"... Neuropathy."

With a dark expression, Zither-Drum Harmony withdrew his head again.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. I wanted to ask you..."

"Black&White, is it really unnecessary to leave a message here?"

Reluctantly leaving the Library, PrayerUnderDreams interrupted him.

"After we leave, new Player candidates will still move into this floor, right? I think it's necessary to correct their tragic fate. Couldn't we leave them a little bit of information?"

"... Please use your compassion in the right place. Our world is in crisis. Who gave you the compassion to come and care about people in another world?"

Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

"What you're doing is more likely harming them than helping them. Sympathy should be used in the wrong way."

"Never mind then."

Meng Qi shook her head with a regretful expression.

As the saying goes, the words may be rough, but the principle is sound. Their worlds, which have also been invaded by Anomaly, are barely able to protect themselves. Where would they find the leisure to run off to other worlds to act as Savior?

"... Let me be frank."

Looking at the Young Girl with her head down in front of him, Bai Zi reached out and pressed his forehead, letting out a breath.

"As for me, I have one..."

"I've really lost out this time; repairing Elite Level Equipment is very expensive."

Walking towards the swimming pool, carrying a tattered Tailcoat, Heavenless Heretic looked on with a sigh.

"Black&White, are we really sure we don't want to fight those guys?"

Although he can be considered to have returned successfully, due to his previous experiences in the outside world, the Durability of his Elite Level Equipment, the [Magic Tuxedo], has been completely exhausted.

Bai Zhi: And books "..."

So you all planned this on purpose, right!?

"We could have cleared the game without losing a single character, but if one or two die in the final battle, don't you think that's a huge waste? Only a fool or a reckless person would do that. If I really decided to do that, I wouldn't have asked you to go out and find those Player. What do you think my purpose is? Isn't it to achieve the 'clear the game with everyone' achievement?"

Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi abandoned the idea of bringing the Night Owl into his team right now and turned to sit down on the Sofa.

"Do you know just how strong those Fallen Player who act as [Chef] really are? Without any reference points, it's impossible to judge their strength. There's absolutely no need for us to take any risks. After all, if you don't court death, you won't die. I believe you understand this better than I do."

"Uh... I'm just a little bit unwilling..."

"I think they're the ones who are resentful. After all, we not only made a mess of this place, but the Plaza hasn't been cleaned up yet, and on top of that, we lost valuable ingredients..."

With palms clasped together in front of his chest, Zither-Drum Harmony, his face filled with piety.

"I hope those Fallen Player are alright."

Others: "..."

The sand sculptures in the village have finally multiplied. ▪jpg

As the saying goes, "If you don't court death, you won't die." With their escape route clearly arranged, there was really no need for them to risk fighting. Leaving those [Chef] with trouble and a profound lesson was enough.

Therefore, under Bai Zhi's arrangement, they successively smashed all the Lights in the two areas other than the Entertainment Area, then moved out all the food and smeared it wantonly in those places, and then used a certain Skill of PrayerUnderDreams to transform it...

Now, apart from the Entertainment Area, the other two areas, plus the Circular Hall, are in a completely unsightly state. In any case, PrayerUnderDreams, the last one to enter, was already disgusted by his own Skill.

The last area that hasn't yet fallen victim to their clutches is the Entertainment Area, but it looks like that won't be long.

After everything was ready at the Zither-Drum Harmony, starting from the side near the gate, Bai Zhi pulled out his Handgun and smashed the light bulbs above one by one.

He hadn't had time to upgrade the [Pluto▪Remnant] Equipment yet, but even so, with the dynamic vision provided by the [Pluto▪Remnant] Support Equipment, Bai Zhi could be considered a sharpshooter with perfect accuracy for a short period of time.

Soon, as the Lights disappeared, darkness quickly crept out from the corner and encroached on the lightless area.

[FuckYouMother!!!]

After leaving a line of text on the smooth wall, feeling the touch of the Shadow Guard he had placed by the door, Bai Zhi clapped his hands, turned around, and greeted the others with a smile.

"Alright, let's go."
