Narrow Beach is located to the east of Gray Country, next to a small town called Gude Town.

Two people first settled down in the town.

Then they found a tavern and went inside to order two cups of barley wine. An Xinghe asked the bartender:

"Excuse me, do you know about the Merfolk prophecy?"

The bartender glanced at him:

"Are you here for that too? I advise you to give up. For hundreds of years, countless people have tried to find traces of the Merfolk, but none have succeeded."

An Xinghe smiled, "Perhaps I'll be the one who succeeds."

Seeing that An Xinghe wasn't joking, the bartender said:

"Guest, you look kind, so I'll chat with you a bit more. The Narrow Beach next to our town was once the nearshore area of the Merfolk, and it was also where humans used to hunt them."

"Although the Merfolk retreated, they left something behind there."

An Xinghe's interest was immediately piqued, "What is it!"

"A tower! A White Sky-Piercing Tower! It was commissioned by the Merfolk to be built by the Dwarves!"

Seeing An Xinghe's shining eyes, the bartender couldn't help but advise:

"After all these years, that tower has been visited countless times. Every corner has been thoroughly searched! The Merfolk didn't leave any secrets inside! It's become a tourist spot now."

"If you're still determined, guest, you can go there for fun."

An Xinghe didn't even drink his barley wine anymore. He immediately called out to Lin Yan:

"Let's go! We're going to Narrow Beach!"

Chapter 48: I Understand This Prophecy!

Narrow Beach is a beach full of golden sand.

It's very much like a resort destination such as Hawaii, except that because a massacre of Merfolk once occurred here, a chilling and uncomfortable atmosphere always lingers, and it has gradually become a wasteland.

The White Tower the bartender mentioned is here.

The White Tower is conical in shape, roughly a hundred meters tall! Part of it is even submerged in the sea.

As An Xinghe and Lin Yan climbed the tower, An Xinghe pondered what the Merfolk prophecy referred to.

The two quickly climbed to the top of the tower. From here, they could overlook almost the entire beach. From the height, the sand looked like gold, and the waves crashed against the White Tower, creating a deafening roar.

An Xinghe suddenly thought of something! He asked:

"Lin Yan, do you remember what the story of The Little Mermaid was about?"

"Huh?" Lin Yan scratched his head and said, "Isn't it about the prince falling into the water and being rescued by the little mermaid..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Before Lin Yan could continue, An Xinghe interrupted him, shouting happily, "I get it! The prophecy's line '[Follow the fairy tale's instructions]' means we need to fall into the water like the prince to find the Merfolk!"

Lin Yan also found this explanation very logical and then asked, "Then what does the first line of the prophecy, '[Abandon the life of the warrior],' refer to?"

An Xinghe looked at the surging waves below, slowly retreating to the edge of the tower:

"I think I understand that too."

"Why would the Merfolk specifically build this White Tower? Merfolk themselves can't climb towers."

"This means the tower wasn't built for the Merfolk themselves! It was built for the warriors in their hearts!"

"Jumping down from here should count as abandoning one's life!"

Lin Yan saw that An Xinghe wasn't joking at all and shouted anxiously, "An Xinghe! Are you crazy? It's a hundred meters to the sea from here! At this height, the sea surface will be as hard as iron! You're just an level 8 rookie, your physique can't withstand the fall!"

"In the Horror Game, life is only once! If you die, you're truly dead!"

But at this moment, An Xinghe could no longer hear Lin Yan's words. He stared intently at the sea, his eyes flashing with anticipation, joy, longing, and madness.

There was no fear at all.

An Xinghe moved!

He pushed off with his feet and leaped forward, flying out of the White Tower in a spread-eagle pose!

Lin Yan rushed forward to grab An Xinghe's leg, only to hear An Xinghe leave behind a message:

"Tell Fist, stop shaving Blade Sister!"

Livestream Room.

[Is An Xinghe crazy?! He'll definitely die from this height!]

[No! An Xinghe, don't jump!]

[What kind of madness is required to perform such a feat of sacrificing one's life to complete a mission!]

[No wonder they could get so much good equipment! This kind of madness and daring alone proves they've surpassed most people in the Horror Game!]

[I'm truly impressed by An Xinghe this time!]

[An Xinghe, don't you dare die on me!]

[Xinghe! Your senior hasn't confessed to you yet, how can you die!]

Although the viewers in the Livestream Room often complained about An Xinghe and felt force-fed affection by him, they all, without exception, had high hopes for him.

After all, An Xinghe was the only Player who could turn the Horror Game into a dating simulator!

Watching other Players' livestreams would make one feel scared and horrified, often witnessing the streamer being brutally killed!

But watching An Xinghe's livestream brought more ease and joy, followed by affection.

No one wanted to see such a unique livestream disappear!

The camera returned to An Xinghe. Although his equipment was excellent, it was mostly focused on offense and control, with no defensive gear or skills whatsoever!

But he wasn't a fool! He dared to jump from a height of a hundred meters, so he was naturally prepared!

Before hitting the water, An Xinghe took out a small green bottle from his pocket.

It was the God of War Hand Sanitizer he had obtained in the Resident Evil 8 Instance!

It had a bugged ability to ignore all injuries and heal once, practically a Senzu Bean!

The moment he hit the water, he felt like his internal organs had shifted from the impact. Intense shockwaves reverberated in his mind. With his last ounce of consciousness, An Xinghe used the God of War Hand Sanitizer!

[Ding! You have used the God of War Hand Sanitizer. All injuries have been healed!]

While his physical injuries were healed, the immense roaring in his head and the discomfort still caused An Xinghe to fall unconscious.

A large wave crashed over him, pulling An Xinghe into the depths of the ocean.

Chapter 49: Perfect Skill!

When An Xinghe woke up from his unconsciousness, he found himself lying on a small bed.

The first thing he did upon waking was instinctively pat his clothes, then his pants.

Only after confirming there were no signs of tampering did An Xinghe let out a sigh of relief.

This wasn't the first time he had woken up in someone else's bed.

In college, his mischievous friends had deliberately gotten him drunk, and he woke up the next day in a large pink bed.

Beside him slept a shy junior student!

Fortunately, An Xinghe had studied biology well and knew that people who were completely drunk had no such impulses!

This allowed him to escape the junior student's "frame-up"!

Similar incidents happened three or four times, leading An Xinghe to never dare drink with his scummy roommates again.

This also instilled a habit in him: once he woke up in a bed that wasn't his, he had to confirm his chastity first!

Although, his chastity was long gone.

After confirming he hadn't been forcibly... well, An Xinghe then surveyed his surroundings.

The small bed he was on was barely 1.8 meters long; he could barely fit on it, so it must have belonged to a girl.

The various accessories and pearls on the nearby table also supported this.

The viewers in the Livestream Room, seeing that An Xinghe was fine, also started to cheer.

[I knew An Xinghe was lucky and tough, he couldn't possibly be okay!]

[Glad he's alright, otherwise my only favorite streamer would be gone, who would I watch then!]

[Xinghe! Don't scare your senior like this!]

[Streamer is awesome! He survived this! I'm impressed!]

[An Xinghe seems to be in a woman's room right now.]

[Dude upstairs, are you new? An Xinghe wakes up in a different woman's room every day!]

[An Xinghe's life is practically that of an emperor!]

[Jill: I'm so f*cking tired!]

Just then, the room door was pushed open, and a young girl swam in.

She looked at An Xinghe with surprise:

"You're awake! Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

As the girl looked at him, An Xinghe also observed her.

The girl's most prominent features were the red scales on her forehead and the fish tail from her waist down!

Merfolk!
