Preparations Before the Dungeon

As the sun sets, its golden rays bathe the entire room in a golden glow.

"... Savior?"

Bai Zhi was taken aback by Qingyi's high opinion of him, and after a moment of surprise, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"If that's the case, then I really should save a world for you to see?"

That's not what I meant.

She reached out and pushed away the hand that was playing with her head, giving him a Qingyi annoyed glare.

"Whatever you do, you must do it only if you can ensure your own safety. Don't take risks, understand? Saving a world is not that easy. Everything only has value while you are alive. Once you die, it's all over."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Looking at the serious-looking White-haired loli in front of him, Bai Zhi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.

"It's just saving a world, I can do that in a minute..."

"I'm serious."

Seemingly noticing Bai Zhi's nonchalance, Qingyi reached out and grabbed his hand, appearing quite anxious.

"What I said earlier was a lie. There are no Savior these days. In this chaotic world, even Savior is just the first to get hurt. Listen to me, always prioritize your own safety. Don't take any risks, understand?"

"Uh... let me hear you first, I..."

"In short, you are not allowed to do anything dangerous!! Don't be fooled by the idea of Savior who saves the world; it's something you earn with your life!!"

She interrupted Bai Zhi once again, reaching out to grab his hand, Qingyi tone quite serious.

"As long as you're alive, there's hope. I don't want to be the one burying my child, understand?"

"... I see."

Looking at the White-haired loli in front of him, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly. He temporarily abandoned the idea of taking out the [Dim Ark Heart] and answered with a hint of helplessness.

... What the hell is this, a parent outliving their child?

Speaking of which, seizing the [Domain of Delirium] to revive the Shadow World... shouldn't that be considered adventure, right?

Suddenly realizing this, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Qingyi told him not to take risks, but as Player, when do they ever not take risks?

The Shadow World, Qingyi's hometown, is a world that has completely died, and she is the Unique survivor of that world—as Artificial Anomaly.

Reviving such a world is a difficult task, but it's not without hope. If the idea that integrating a place like the [Domain of Delirium] into the Shadow World could stimulate its revival was just Bai Zhi's conjecture, then with the Ark Heart in his possession, even if the final outcome is terrible, it will definitely be much better than the current situation.

However, it's obvious that this kind of thing can't be told to the other party at this time, otherwise, given the personality of that White-haired loli, she definitely wouldn't let him enter the [Domain of Delirium] Dungeon.

Although he knew Qingyi meant well, he couldn't possibly give up this opportunity.

If we miss this rare opportunity, it will be extremely difficult to find such a good chance again.

Because I slept for an excessively long time this afternoon nap, it's already almost six o'clock.

When Bai Zhi and Qingyi arrived downstairs, they immediately saw Anna and Tong sitting on the Sofa, engrossed in watching SpongeBob SquarePants on the Big Screen.

As for Xia Wen, she was diligently mopping the floor with an apron tied around her waist, looking miserable. Beside her, Mu Qiansè stood with her arms crossed, her face ashen, her whole body shrouded in an unseen black aura.

--Judging from their situation, they seem like a submissive, oppressed Maid and a domineering Head Maid.

What happened?

Seeing this scene before him, Bai Zhi, somewhat puzzled, asked Lin Xiaoyi was sitting on the Sofa organizing documents as usual.

"Xia Wen is fighting with a fish in the kitchen."

Temporarily putting aside her work, the Campus Belle turned around and glanced at Xia Wen, her eyes filled with pity.

"The pressure cooker exploded, and the stewed chicken inside is all over the ceiling. The microwave exploded because she was heating eggs in it... Now she has made a complete mess of the kitchen."

"They got into a fight with a fish... What the heck?"

Bai Zhi was quite taken aback.

"It's like the fish wasn't killed before it was put into the oil to fry, and then, unwilling to be fried, it made a mess of the oil all over the stove. She brandished a spatula and Kitchen Knife, using the pot lid as a shield, and started fighting the fish, eventually destroying the pot and the stove..."

Even with Lin Xiaoyi's personality, her eyes twitched slightly as she said these words.

"Although Mu Qiansè repaired all the broken things, she may escape the death penalty, but she can't escape punishment... I suspect Xia Wen won't even get to eat white rice tonight."

"..."

Although this kind of thing sounds bizarre, once you connect it to Xia Wen, it suddenly seems quite normal...

"Report, the kitchen has been cleaned. What do you need me to do next?"

At that moment, Tianhuo, with his sleeves rolled up, a rag and a scouring pad in his hand, and his cheeks, nose, and forehead covered in black Tian Huo, walked out of the kitchen.

"Yes, that's right, Tian Huo is an accomplice."

Seemingly sensing what Bai Zhi wanted to ask, Lin Xiaoyi nodded.

"I heard that she joined the group trying to atone for her sins so that she could have dinner again that night."

Lin Xiaoyi glanced furtively at Mu Qiansè and whispered something to him.

"Let me tell you, Mu Qiansè is absolutely terrifying when she gets angry. This is the first time I've ever seen Xia Wen so scared..."

What are you afraid of?

Mu Qiansè's voice came softly from behind her.

Lin Xiaoyi: "..."

"Please wait a little longer, the food will be ready soon. The Dungeon opens at 7 o'clock, right?"

Turning her head to look at Bai Zhi, Mu Qiansè changed her tone, her voice clearly carrying a hint of worry.

"Be careful inside the Dungeon."

The remaining ten Dungeon all of the highest difficulty Level, and they are not capable of participating in these Dungeon.

As a Player, you need to have a clear understanding of your own strength. If you rashly choose to enter Dungeon, you will only become the one who drags the team down.

"Um... can I eat something with you later?"

Supporting himself with the mop in one hand, Xia Wen weakly raised his hand.

"I didn't eat anything this afternoon, and now I'm starving... Plain rice and vegetables will do!!"

"Oh, I made you a special Wild Vegetable Soup."

Mu Qiansè responded coldly.

Xia Wen: "..."
