It wasn't a slight tremor, but a very obvious one, almost like the ground was trying to leap up!
The ground itself was shaking along with it!
Livestream Room.
[What exactly did Lin Yan encounter in there?]
[What do you think he encountered? It's gotta be a big truck!]
[I admit I like driving big trucks too, but an RV is my limit. What Lin Yan's driving is a semi-trailer dump truck!]
[Brother Yan, yyds!]
[The Orcs' construction skills are seriously amazing! That clock tower is bouncing around, but it's completely fine!]
[Is this the time to be marveling at construction skills?! Don't you guys have any sympathy? Look how frozen An Xinghe is out here!]
An Xinghe figured the fight inside the clock tower wouldn't end anytime soon. So, he took out a few bananas, a stack of chives, two pig kidneys, and then casually found some thorns to start a barbecue.
The ground shaking lasted for about one night. The next morning, the thorns around the palace began to gradually recede.
An Xinghe knew Lin Yan had succeeded!
At this moment, a spindle was thrown in front of An Xinghe. He looked up and saw a man with sunken eyes and a gaunt appearance.
He curiously asked:
"Who are you?"
"It's me, Lin Yan! Lin Yan!"
"How did you get so thin?"
Lin Yan walked up to An Xinghe with an expression that suggested his past was too painful to recall. He snatched the chives from An Xinghe's hand, took a bite, and said mournfully:
"Don't ask! If you ask, I won't say anything?"
"Oh. Is it hot in the Pig Race area?"
"It's hot... Damn it! An Xinghe, you knew it was the Pig Race inside and you still made me go in! I'll risk my life today to represent justice and crush you!"
Just as Lin Yan was about to pounce on An Xinghe, a muffled groan came from the clock tower:
"Oh ho, where did you go, hubby? Let's continue when you get back!"
Lin Yan's horrified expression was as if he'd heard Yama call his name! He hastily grabbed An Xinghe and ran out!
Without even looking back!
An Xinghe couldn't resist a jab:
"Lin Yan, you call me scum! Aren't you the same, sleeping around and not taking responsibility?!"
"That's different!! I feel like my life has no way out!"
An Xinghe didn't know where Lin Yan got the strength from, but he dragged him and sprinted all the way, directly out of the Orcs' Royal Capital.
Then, the two of them hired a carriage and drove towards the source of the Fairy Tale Mutation, which was also the focus of this Instance: the Black Tower.
The Black Tower resembled the Leaning Tower of Pisa in appearance. The carriage couldn't go any further once it reached the outskirts of the Black Tower.
A clear barrier blocked the carriage's path.
The two got out of the carriage and exchanged a look.
An Xinghe took out [Poisoned Apple That Was Eaten], [Cinderella's Glass Slipper], [Sleeping Beauty's Spindle], [Little Red Riding Hood's Hat], and [The Little Mermaid's Scales] from his pocket.
As these five items appeared, they automatically flew up and stuck to the barrier.
[Ding! The Black Tower's barrier has been lifted. Both Players may now enter the tower to find the true cause of the Fairy Tale Mutation!]
[Ding! The five items have lost their magic!]
The five items fell from the air. An Xinghe walked over and crouched down to pick up the Crystal Slipper and Vanessa's Red Scale.
These two items held significant sentimental value for him.
He then picked up the spindle and asked Lin Yan:
"Aren't you keeping this as a souvenir?"
Lin Yan glanced at him and quickly walked past, entering the tower.
An Xinghe followed closely behind him into the tower.
The first thing that greeted their eyes were two staircases going in different directions.
The two exchanged a look and knew what they had to do.
An Xinghe patted Lin Yan on the shoulder:
"One each, let's go."
"Alright, I really relied on you this whole time. Let's add each other after we get out and team up for Instances... preferably Instances without any women!"
"I'd rather face danger than be force-fed dog food next to you all the time!"
An Xinghe nodded: "Preferably Instances with small animals!"
"Damn it! How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me!"
After a brief moment of joking, the two formally stepped onto different staircases.
An Xinghe walked up the stairs for ten minutes before a door appeared before him.
A small line of text was written on the pillar next to the door:
[Only the Brave One can pass this trial!]
An Xinghe curled his lips, "Just being dramatic!"
Chapter 60: An Xinghe's Memories
People like An Xinghe simply don't know the meaning of fear.
He directly pushed the door open and walked in.
The next second, he felt his vision go black. With a "thump," his body collapsed onto the ground.
His consciousness completely faded into the darkness.
Time ticked by, and An Xinghe vaguely felt his consciousness in a state of chaos, unable to control his body normally.
It was somewhat similar to a lucid dream!
So, what was this trial supposed to be? Was it testing my endurance?
As he was thinking, a sharp pain in his lower back struck him.
It wasn't a muscle ache, but a pain as if something had been hollowed out!
An Xinghe instantly recalled countless nights of hard work.
He clutched his lower back, knowing this was likely the so-called trial.
And then, there was nothing else.
An Xinghe's back ached for a while before he heard a whisper in the darkness:
"This man's painful memories are just back pain???"
Immediately after, An Xinghe woke up. He stood up and found a scantily clad young girl standing before him.
The girl had two small horns on her head and a pair of small bat wings on her back. Below the bat wings was a black tail with a large red heart at the tip.
The most striking feature was a pink heart pattern drawn on the girl's abdomen!
As a seasoned veteran in the world of adult manga, An Xinghe immediately understood the meaning of the pattern!
This was a damn yin wen!
Given this, the identity of the girl before him was obvious!
"Girl, are you a succubus?"
The succubus girl shyly nodded, "I'm a rookie succubus, my name is Lilith, and I'm also the one conducting this trial!"
"Oh, so what is the content of your trial?"
"It's to replay the painful memories of the person being tested, to see if they can break through their limitations!"
"So how did I do?"
"Well..." Lilith looked a bit embarrassed, "Your performance was a bit unusual. Although you passed the trial, your painful memories were all about back pain..."
Livestream Room.
[Is this the legendary rookie who can counter veterans?!]
[As long as I feel no pain, the succubus can't do anything to me!]
[Lilith is unlucky to encounter someone like An Xinghe.]
[What enviable things has An Xinghe experienced since childhood! I wish I could have back pain too!]
[If you had An Xinghe's face, you could be a bulldozer too!]
[Is there anyone in this world who can stop An Xinghe's harem path??]
[Maybe a yandere can, like Kotonoha Katsura...]
[I think the suggestion above is somewhat feasible.]
Regardless of how An Xinghe performed in the trial, as long as he successfully woke up from the dreamscape constructed by Lilith, he had passed.
Lilith brought over three buttons:
"Sir, as you are the first player to pass the trial, you have the right to choose once!"
"These three buttons represent three choices. You only have one chance, and you cannot go back on your decision after choosing."
An Xinghe looked at the three buttons, and the System provided specific explanations for each at that moment.
[Button One: Press this button, and you can kill the player Lin Yan in the other room. Simultaneously, you will receive a key from Lilith to leave this trial room! After the instance ends, Lin Yan's rewards will be directly transferred to you!]
[Button Two: Press this button, and you will receive a key from Lilith to leave the trial room. Player Lin Yan might break through the succubus's trial like you, or he might die in the trial.]
