Inner World Observations
Bai Zhi had heard Qingyi mention the term "[Retainer]" before.
Anna was Retainer of the [Doll Princess] retinue.
Of all the people in the villa, the most powerful fighter is Anna, who can borrow a portion of the [Doll Princess]'s Strength. She's the kind of person who, when she gets serious, can knock down a building with a single punch.
However, compared to what that White-haired loli talked about back then, White-haired Man in Sunglasses is saying now is clearly more detailed.
Innate God, Gods, Evil God... and Ancient God.
The Gray Finger that fell into that world at that time, and the Giant Phantom that later appeared Outside the World, should not belong to the category of Evil God, but rather to the ranks of Ancient God.
... The first one is [Ancient God▪Life], what could the second one be?
However, seeing how confidently the White-haired Man in Sunglasses in front of him spoke, Bai Zhi didn't say anything more. There was no point in discussing such matters further.
After that, aside from some crucial information, such as the Giant Phantom that silently appeared Outside the World that he saw later, Bai Zhi gave a general account of the situation inside the Dungeon.
"... Is it really that difficult?"
After listening to his story, the White-haired Man in Sunglasses reached up and touched his chin.
"It's devouring Spiritual Energy and sealing off its regeneration rate; everything is gaining Life... You must have suffered heavy losses, right?"
"... Heavy losses? Hmm..."
Bai Zhi glanced down at his tattered clothes and nodded in deep agreement.
"That's right, the losses were indeed quite severe."
"Come to think of it, it's such a difficult Dungeon after all..."
With a sigh of deep emotion, the White-haired Man in Sunglasses held up one finger in front of him.
"While I sympathize with your situation, even brothers should keep clear accounts. Please pay your medical expenses; this will be 100 points."
"It's too expensive, how about a discount?"
Bai Zhi appeared slightly dissatisfied.
"This is expensive? I've already given you the biggest discount. I'm not making any profit off you. If it were him, I would charge at least 300."
The White-haired Man in Sunglasses rolled his eyes as he pointed to Li Tong, who was lying unconscious to the side.
"Look at what you're saying, we're all friends, talking about money will only hurt our feelings."
Bai Zhi waved his hand magnanimously.
"As is customary in the underworld, let's round it down!"
"..."
Are you sure you don't want to get treatment?
After leaving the Infirmary, Bai Zhi turned to the World's End Singer beside him and asked him a question.
There's no need for that.
The Girl carefully slung her guitar back onto her back and calmly shook her head.
Where is the world you were talking about with me before?
"The Shadow World... do you want to go now?"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.
The book states, "Let me preface this by saying that the world in question is currently a dead world, and I am working hard to revive it. If you go there now, you probably won't see anything."
"Then let's do it after that. You really do look like you need some rest... What is this?"
Looking at the small card handed to her by the other person, the Girl tilted her head slightly in confusion.
"The address of where I live now."
Bai Zhi put the pen back into his pocket, his expression concise and to the point.
"I have a big plan that needs people to join me. Those who join now will receive a permanent residence and permanent residency rights within the Shadow World, and will also enjoy a series of benefits... Are you interested?"
Planning ahead, ever since obtaining information about the Core Zone from Tian Huo, Bai Zhi has never given up on the idea of acquiring that place.
However, thinking is one thing, doing is another. To achieve one's great goals, necessary helpers are indispensable.
Before returning to the Real World, Bai Zhi made a point of checking the Ticket Counter. After one Dungeon of time, the number of unconquered Dungeon had decreased from 127 to 85.
Including the Dungeon they Walkthrough, a total of 42 Dungeon have been fully Walkthrough.
However, Walkthrough Instance Completion Rate of the [Domain of Delirium] Dungeon has decreased again, from 45% to 23%.
If the progress of this Walkthrough continues to drop, even if it drops to 0% tomorrow, Bai Zhi wouldn't be surprised.
He's ranked in the top ten on the Points Ranking, currently in eighth place with 5590 points and 1900 points available.
"We have at most two to three more Dungeon to complete..."
Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the rather bustling Virtual Gym.
From the White-haired Man in Sunglasses, he finally understood why the place was so lively.
The gym instructor finally arrived a day late. Now, you can receive more systematic skill training at the gym, and there's also a chance to buy Skill Card and other related secret items from the instructor at a very low price.
Of course, the most crucial factor in all of this is that the gym instructor... is a little red-haired girl.
The more you compare, the more precious the red-haired little girl at the gym seems. Compared to the rude White-haired Man in Sunglasses in the Infirmary and the jar Merchant in the supermarket who only knows how to push his own jars, the Red-haired loli in the infirmary suddenly appears all the more precious.
However, it is no exaggeration to say that although the opponent looks young, his fighting skills are surprisingly strong.
In the daily, regularly held Arena Training Match at the gym, many Player were completely dominated by their opponents throughout the entire competition...
"But speaking of which, there's still one Dungeon to complete before this Handgun is gone... What exactly is this [Mysterious Stone]?"
Shifting his gaze from the Virtual Gym, Bai Zhi looked towards the supermarket with a hint of hesitation. At the supermarket entrance, the canned goods Merchant had appeared there at some point, held up one finger to him.
Bai Zhi: "..."
I know you're trying to say I have one Dungeon of the game to play, but why are you giving me the middle finger???
The [Magic Type] Handgun, with its various special effects and attributes, is a perfect match for [Failed Writer]. He was quite satisfied with using it in two Dungeon, but this gun doesn't completely belong to him.
If he fails to find the item requested by the jar Merchant after the three Dungeon have ended, the Handgun will automatically return to the merchant.
So far, after spending time in two Dungeon, he hasn't found any clues about the so-called [Mysterious Stone]... no, there are still a few clues.
Bai Zhi reached up and touched his chin, looking thoughtful.
"That ' Yay!, With an Exclamation Mark After It... I think I've heard about it somewhere before...?"
