After giving the items to An Xinghe, the goddess, fearing he would continue to demand more, quickly said:

"I've given you everything. I'll send you back to the rest space now!"

Before An Xinghe could refuse, he saw the goddess wave her hand, and in the next second, he was teleported to the rest space.

"Damn it! I didn't even get to say goodbye to Lilith!"

Chapter 64: Consecutive Level Ups!

An Xinghe successfully returned to the rest space, and the System's voice rang out.

[Instance reward settlement in progress]

[Main Quest: 1/1]

[Hidden Quest: 0/0]

[Rating: S. All rewards for this instance are doubled. Received S-rank special reward: You may choose any one instance reward to become triple its original value.]

[Experience Points gained: 4000]

[Game Currency gained: 4000]

[Item gained: Normal-grade Equipment Chest]

Although the rewards for this instance weren't very substantial, An Xinghe was already content.

Three perfect-grade items were much better than any reward!

"System, triple the experience points I gained this time."

[Ding! Player's experience points for this instance have been changed to 12000.]

[Player An Xinghe has leveled up to Level 11.]

An Xinghe considered that in the Horror Game, a player's strength was directly linked to their level. For players of the same level, the power of different skills would vary.

At any time, leveling up was a matter with nothing but benefits!

At the same time, An Xinghe also received a friend request from Lin Yan.

As soon as he accepted, Lin Yan sent a message:

"Old An! What happened to you? Why did it show you were trapped and couldn't clear the instance when I finished?"

"It's nothing, I'm out now."

"You scared me to death! I added you as a friend as soon as I got out! I knew you were lucky and wouldn't die so easily!"

"Of course. After all, I haven't held the wedding for you and Sleeping Beauty yet!"

"Can you stop bringing that up! It gives me a headache just thinking about it! Right, Old An, have you joined a guild yet?"

"Guild? What's that, can you eat it?"

"Damn, I forgot you're just a Level 8 noob! A guild is an organization formed by a group of people. The benefits of joining a guild include special guild instances, and it's also harder for guild members to get their gear stolen."

An Xinghe smiled, "Judging by your tone, you want to pull me into your guild?"

Lin Yan's voice sounded a little embarrassed, "You guessed it! You're already this strong at Level 8, your future is limitless! So, come to our guild! I guarantee you the best treatment!"

An Xinghe shook his head, "Forget it, I don't have any plans to join a guild for now."

Lin Yan didn't push it, "Alright, let me know anytime if you change your mind! I won't keep you. I'm going to continue sorting out the instance rewards I got this time! This is the first time I've gotten an S-rank rating! It feels amazing!"

After hanging up the call, An Xinghe remembered that he still had a Normal-grade Equipment Chest to open.

When did normal equipment become almost not even considered equipment for him?

Perhaps sensing An Xinghe's disdain for it, the equipment chest yielded a pair of gauntlets.

[Name: Black Gauntlets]

[Type: Equipment (Weapon)]

[Quality: Normal]

[Special Effect: Enhances your fist damage and increases your punching speed.]

[Remarks: Although these gauntlets are unremarkable, their previous owner was named Tifa! Speaking of Tifa, one can't help but mention the 3D section...]

Seeing this piece of equipment, An Xinghe couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.

The Horror Game stipulated that each person could only equip two weapons. An Xinghe had a large pair of scissors in one hand and a sniper rifle in the other, both of which were Fine-grade Equipment. There was simply no room for these gauntlets to be used!

There was nothing he could do, so An Xinghe decided to list the gauntlets in the Item Trading Area.

He originally wanted to price them at 5000 Game Currency, but upon seeing the name Tifa, An Xinghe added an extra zero, making it 50000!

Hopefully, some big-brained person will fall for it!

Doesn't my great Tifa deserve 50000??

An Xinghe thought about it, then added, "Direct exchange for any Fine-grade Equipment is also acceptable."

This sentence was mainly to complete his Zodiac set. Anyway, the small items for the Zodiac were almost all useless Fine-grade items. If someone happened to have them and wanted to trade, why not!

After doing all this, An Xinghe ordered a lot of food and drinks, ate his fill, and then took a good sleep to ensure he was fully energized.

The next Instance began!

[Player An Xinghe is about to enter the Instance!]

[Instance: Campus Horror Legend Activated]

[Participants: 2]

[Mission Objective: Investigate and resolve the source of five campus horror legends]

[Reward: 3000 Experience Points, 3000 Game Currency, One Random Normal-grade Skill Chest.]

[Teleportation Countdown 10, 9, 8...1!]

Chapter 65: Japanese Campus Horror

As the System's voice faded, An Xinghe was teleported onto the grounds of a Japanese-style school.

Accompanying him was a young woman.

She wore a light blue top, crisp jeans, and a small hat.

Her appearance was delicate and handsome, with fair skin and a slender figure. A beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a touch of allure.

Since makeup was not allowed in the Horror Game, this was her bare face!

Her looks alone could outshine most female celebrities!

At the same time, An Xinghe's livestream room opened.

[They're here! Come on, everyone! An Xinghe is live! Quickly call your friends and sisters to watch!]

[Finally live! Can someone tell me what happened in the last Instance?]

[I don't know, there are tons of guesses online! But they're mostly marketing accounts!]

[I guess only An Xinghe knows the real story.]

[An Xinghe got paired with a girl this time!]

[I have to admit, this girl is really pretty! Prettier than many actresses!]

[Originally, this girl could have stolen the audience's attention, but unfortunately, An Xinghe is standing next to her.]

[Is this a campus horror Instance? And a Japanese one! This is going to be good!]

The young woman looked at An Xinghe and asked, "You're my teammate for this Instance, right? My name is Liu Qingmeng, Level 15, I mainly play with firearms."

An Xinghe replied with a smile, "An Xinghe, Level 11. I mainly play Queen... I play everything, no specialization."

Liu Qingmeng blushed as she looked at An Xinghe's smile!

She came from a prominent family and had always been extremely competitive, unwilling to lose to anyone in academics, sports, or the arts!

Throughout her life, without relying on her family's influence, she had skipped grades and completed her master's degree at 22.

This had cultivated her proud and aloof personality, holding a cold view towards almost everyone!

Except today. Except An Xinghe!

An Xinghe's smile alone made her long-held composure crumble!

This man was just too good-looking!

Just then, the System's prompt sounded again.

[Instance Hint 1: Splish, splash, in the mirror, who is that. Quick, quick, turn your head, your neck will twist immediately. Don't turn your head, lest you find its little tail.]

[Instance Hint 2: Windy day. On the rooftop. Little butterflies, fluttering by. They should be a pair, why does one fly away alone. Only one remains, unseen, falling to the ground and turning to mud.]

[Instance Hint 3: Who am I? I am you. No face, no eyes. No heart, no mouth. Come, come, catch me, I'm your good friend.]

[Instance Hint 4: Melodious voice, winding tune. One hand on strings, one hand on bow. One hand bloody, one hand with guts. Don't listen, don't smell. When the performance ends, you must applaud.]

[Instance Hint 5: Flowery dress, red rouge. Dressed up like a doll. Praise her, praise her. No one is as pretty as she is!]

[Instance Hint 6: In one minute, the two players will no longer be able to see each other. If they meet, it will trigger a ghost tide in the campus.]

[Instance Hint 7: The ghost tide consists of hundreds of evil spirits! Unstoppable!]

An Xinghe glanced at Liu Qingmeng and said, "Miss Liu, I won't waste time with pleasantries. You've heard the System's prompts."

"The first five nursery rhymes likely refer to the five sources of campus horror."

"The last two hints are restrictions for us."

"My suggestion is that we search different floors. During this time, even if we hear the other person calling for help, we cannot go to their rescue!"

"Do you understand?"
