Are they tasked with dealing with the supernatural?

The story of Jiangnan1912 deeply moved me.

This is how the real big shots play!

People would avoid anything strange about it, for fear of being targeted.

But the other side wants to actively farm monsters!

I'm impressed!

The four then stepped through the white archway and entered the Ghost Ship Anomaly Dungeon.

The scenery before my eyes suddenly changed.

On a canal, a cool breeze blows, a magnificent ship with carved beams and painted rafters stands, and a noble lady in flowing gauze dress appears.

On the riverbank, a group of naked boatmen, with only a tattered cloth around their waists, were chanting work songs.

They were all shirtless, swaying with each step, drenched in sweat, their youthful energy palpable.

"Little sister, you sit at the bow of the boat, and I'll walk on the shore!"

"I bow with every step I take, sister, when will you turn back!"

Lightning strikes at the opening ceremony.

Gao Linzhi himself was stunned.

But to project an image of experience, he remained expressionless.

The other three quickly demonstrated their elite player skills, vying to show off in front of the boss.

"It seems this scene is related to the Ghost Ship," Jiangnan1912 said with an air of seriousness.

"In my opinion, based on the Ghost Ship's behavior of following other ships, this should be a tragic love story between a young boatman and young lady."

"The young boatman rescued a young lady from drowning by chance, but unfortunately, the difference in their social status was too great. In the end, he was killed by the lady's father and brothers, and transformed into Ghost Ship, wanting to find his beloved again." "Puppet Best," he said with certainty.

Qingcheng*Bored shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. Let's wait and see."

Gao Linzhi neither confirmed nor denied this.

He experienced a bizarre instance, and he had a feeling that this instance seemed to have extracted information from another world within him.

This reminded him of the origin of his "Ordinary Player" Golden Finger, which was the broken Skyfall Game, which absorbed the Power of Space-Time he carried with him when he traveled through time.

It now appears that the information from that specific time and space has also been absorbed by the other party.

The reason he didn't suspect the game was reading his memories was because he hadn't fully seen much of the content himself; it just felt strangely familiar and wasn't in the style of the Corporate World.

At this moment, the four of them were standing on a riverbank, watching the boatmen pulling the multi-story boats on both sides of the river.

The river channel is not wide, only twenty or thirty meters wide.

It's too wide; there's no way to use boatmen for that.

The next moment, what seemed to be the voice of the boatmen reached the ship.

On the ship, someone called the young lady inside.

Soon after, ten archers appeared.

"Swish!"

The archers fired arrows directly at the boatmen who were spouting nonsense!

Ignoring everything else, the boatmen struggled to pull the boat forward.

"Ah, ah!"

One by one, the boatmen fell.

The remaining boatmen scattered and fled.

There was only one boy, supporting an injured middle-aged boatman, struggling to run towards the embankment on the shore.

"Run, son, don't worry about me!"

"I can't walk anymore!" The middle-aged man's legs buckled, and he was about to collapse.

"No, Father!"

How could a young boy abandon his father?

He gritted his teeth, hoisted his father onto his back, and ran.

Fortunately, these laborers were thin but very strong, otherwise they really wouldn't have been able to carry them.

Meanwhile, the ruthless archers continued to fire arrows for their own amusement.

They quickly set their sights on the father and son.

"I can kill them both with just one arrow!"

I don't believe it!

"Well done! Keep it up, don't embarrass yourself!"

Soon, a sharp arrow flew over.

This is a Heavy Arrow, the arrowhead of which is like a small shovel. Its weight and speed are enough to sever a person's arm!

No wonder that archer was so confident.

He was able to shoot Heavy Arrow at the range of a light arrow!

"Damn it, this is too brutal!"

"Puppet Best," he said, throwing a Money Dart in an attempt to knock down the Heavy Arrow.

The Money Dart, though launched later, struck the incoming Heavy Arrow a step ahead of the dart.

However, the next moment, right before everyone's eyes, the Money Dart grazed the arrow.

It was like crashing into a phantom; it did nothing to stop it.

Qingcheng shook her head boredly and said, "Don't waste your energy."

"The story being presented now should be a scenario that occurred in the past."

"This is different from how it is now."

"In other words, what we're seeing is all an illusion, Dungeon Cutscene."

Upon hearing this, the other two suddenly realized what was going on.

"Damn it, these guys are so ruthless!" the Puppet Best n't help but exclaim.

She felt a sense of powerlessness.

And so, on this bright and sunny day, a tragedy unfolded.

The Heavy Arrow pierced the father's chest, then passed through him and struck the son in front of him.

At that moment, the father turned his head and saw the arrow flying towards him. He forcefully pushed the child's back apart, spread his arms, and created a huge gap between their chests and backs.

Thus, the arrow pierced his chest but did not go through the child's back.

He smiled contentedly, then his body went limp, and he passed away peacefully.

"What a pity! If this father had hesitated even a little, I could have killed two birds with one stone!" the archer said regretfully.

All three fell silent.

They were stunned by what they saw.

If the father had pushed the child even a fraction slower, they would both have died.

And now, he's essentially using himself as a shield for his child!

If they had remained in their previous state, both of them would have been killed by that arrow.

"Hahaha, Lao Qi, your reputation Divine Archer is nothing special," another archer mocked.

"Hmph, in any case, they all have to die!"

The archer drew another arrow and shot it at the child once more.

"Run, child!"

With his last ounce of strength, the father pushed his child away and then rose to block the next arrow.

"Don't avenge me!"

"Don't forget to pass on our Old Wang Family tradition!"

"Father!" the boy exclaimed angrily.

But he gritted his teeth, gave the archers a vicious look, and finally abandoned his father, fleeing immediately.

He was very fast and soon overtook the other boatmen.

As the boy leaped over the dam, the archers felt a pang of regret, for they could not possibly go into the water to chase after him.

They also need to protect the Noble Personage.

Then, the entire image began to fade away.

The three began to have doubts and start analyzing the situation.

Why is this scene playing out?

"Could it be that this young man returned to kill these archers, but failed?"

Jiangnan1912 shook his head and said, "So, you turn into Ghost Ship to hunt down your enemies?"

"Puppet Best!" he roared angrily. "They're absolutely hateful! Those damned archers!"

"They were probably acting on orders. It was probably the laborers' singing that displeased the Noble Personage, so they killed them," Qingcheng*Bored.

"Those damned nobles!" Jiangnan1912 blurted out instinctively.

The Puppet Best looked a little unpleasant, but didn't say anything.

Because this is the only truth.

Archers aren't fools; how could they possibly shoot the laborers pulling the boat without the master's permission?

Is the ship no longer sailing?

Qingcheng*Bored remarked, "Actually, openly singing these Love Song is just asking for trouble."

"They probably thought the journey by ship was too far and the work too arduous, and forgot how much these aristocratic families valued their family traditions. The difference between young lady and them is like heaven and earth."

At that moment, the scene on the river suddenly changed.

After the boy ran away, time flew by, and soon the once innocent and hardworking boy became Water Tyrant.

This water tyrant had another characteristic: he specialized in robbing and killing officials, especially young lady, who were all drowned alive.

And they drowned without even touching the ground; those who know, know.

Those officials who were accompanied by guards suffered even more gruesome deaths.

If the official was poor, he would simply beat him up.

And so, day after day, year after year, he remained on this canal, waiting for the barges that would kill the boatmen.

However, that multi-story ship never appeared on this canal again.

The footage only shows the canal itself, without showing any other views.

The three of them didn't know if the boy had gone elsewhere to inquire about the situation.

The boy kept waiting.

From childhood to old age.

Whenever he saw a boat, he would follow it and observe it carefully to see if it really belonged to those people.

At first, he only focused on the multi-ship, but later he started focusing on every ship.

After seeing this...

Qingcheng*Bored, immediately said with certainty:

"It seems the decryption is quite simple."

"All we need to do is help this young man find that young lady, and then kill her."

The other two did not object.

Gao Linzhi remained noncommittal.

"But how do we find the problem?"

They turned to look at Gao Linzhi.

Gao Linzhi just smiled and didn't say anything.

The three of them understood; this was the exam.

They couldn't possibly ask the proctor for the answers; at most, they could ask about the rules.

That's right, the protagonist is standing right there.

He doesn't want to use his brain right now.

When you don't have money to spend, playing games requires a lot of brainpower every day; now that you have money, if you still have to use your brainpower every day, then isn't all that money just wasted?

He was simply observing how these experts thought.

Mental Power is undoubtedly one of the most valuable resources in the human world.

Because it is invisible and intangible, many forces do not care about it and think it is worthless.

All forces that thought this way were ultimately dealt a severe blow.

The protagonist, however, understands this very well.

He's willing to spend money on other people's Mental Power contributions.

So he found a patch of grass by the river, leaned against a tree, and patiently waited for the three people to solve the mystery.

As for whether the three were in a difficult position, he remained completely unmoved.

After all, he's the boss who's paying for it.

The three of them repeatedly investigated, discussed, and observed along both banks of the canal, even trying to find ways to verify the origins of the boat trackers.

Their operations covered a wide area.

This instance is clearly much larger in area than the previous one.

Although Gao Linzhi was patient, he wouldn't waste his time.

There's nothing to do right now.

That's how Level Lock.

The things on the Game Account are relatively simple and boring.

What about Level Profession, Job Change Quest, Equipment Forging, Territory Guild, forming gangs...?

He didn't need to worry about any of the standard game content.

He has very little to do; his main tasks are making money, topping up his account, Trading Skills, and Skill Upgrade!

Therefore, he paid no attention to the three people's actions.

He immediately logged off.

It's definitely a "Force Quit".

He didn't use it last time in the weird dungeon.

He was Noble 19 and a normal player.

What right do the game developers have to keep players trapped in dungeons and prevent them from logging off?

If we did that, would there be any justice? Would there be no laws?

So after Gao Linzhi logged off, he went to dig his own Underground Cave.

He had to dig a Tunnel Fortifications 500 meters underground, within a layer of solid rock.

It has everything: ventilation, drainage, Rest Room, recreation room, storage room...

At a depth of 500 meters underground, natural ventilation is impossible.

However, his physique is already over 400, and he can last for several hours by taking a deep breath.

Therefore, he is underground and does not need air.

It would be better to set this place to Carbon Dioxide Mode.

The lack of oxygen underground also serves as a form of protection.

This means that most organisms cannot survive here.

Only anaerobic bacteria can survive here.

And so, Gao Linzhi began his life as a pangolin underground.

This Basic Burrowing Technique at level 100, combined with Basic Pathfinding at level 100, is really useful.

This will allow him to stay connected even underground.

Once you've determined your location, you won't have to worry about getting lost.

And so, he would log on at a set time every day to check on the three people's progress.

The three were extremely shocked that Gao Linzhi was able to leave the instance so easily.

"Holy crap, can we really leave this Dungeon Space at will?"

"Are we even playing the same game?" Qingcheng*Bored, bored and frustrated. "Why can't I find the Force Quit button?"

"Yes, there is an option to Force Quit outside, but you can't log in or out during battle." Jiangnan1912 frowned as well.

He vaguely sensed that the mysteries surrounding Canxue were far greater than those discussed by people in their Official Built-in Group.

The big shot with the higher number actually knows someone else as well.

That's the big shot Number 18, with incredibly impressive talent—of course, the other party wouldn't say, and he wouldn't ask.

You can tell just by looking at the other person's level; that person is already level 55, and their profession has reached the Expert Level!

Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, Master, and Grandmaster correspond to levels 10, 25, 35, 55, 75, and 105, respectively.

Clearly, it possesses some kind of ability to evade strange beings and stealthily kill monsters!

Even so, the opponent did not demonstrate any abilities beyond the normal scope of the game.

Could this Canxue powerhouse have obtained Administrator Privileges?

Jiangnan1912 was struck by a thought; he considered many things.

"Entering this game instance and being able to leave freely—what kind of Immortal Big Shot is this?" "Puppet Best" exclaimed in equal astonishment, "It's truly unbelievable."

She comes from a prominent family and is very knowledgeable.

But I've never seen anyone like Gao Linzhi.

However, on the other hand, the stronger the boss, the better it is for them.

At least I don't have to worry about the mess of settling accounts every six months...

Soon, the three's enthusiasm for solving the puzzle automatically increased by 120%.

They need to solve the puzzle, clear the dungeon, and pass the interview!

In order to pass the interview as soon as possible, the three of them had to lower their guard and share various secrets with each other to speed up the cracking process.
