The Doors Wouldn't Open

"Boss! It's you!"

The players guarding the steps nearly popped their eyes out when they saw that the first team to leave was actually their boss's Flying Squad.

What's going on? The team ranked first was eliminated first!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Maybe the boss forgot something! That must be it.

The Flying Squad leader Sui Yu, descended the stairs with a gloomy face. The members of the Flying Squad followed behind him, each with their heads down and remaining silent.

The two players guarding the steps quickly stepped forward and said solicitously:

"Boss, did you forget something? I'll go back and get it for you right away."

Sui Yu frowned, her tone unfriendly. "Am I stupid? Did I forget to bring anything when I entered the secret realm?"

"Then why did you come out so quickly? Could it be that you couldn't even defeat the monsters in this secret realm?"

"Fight?" Sui Yu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. "I haven't even seen any monsters, what the hell are we fighting?"

Sui Yu was furious; he had never seen such a shameless secret realm!

They were told to come in, but the door wouldn't be opened.

They tried everything, but they just couldn't open that door.

We can't even find any monsters, where are we supposed to fight them?

Sui Yu was already short-tempered, and unable to open the door, she immediately wanted to leave the secret realm.

His teammates advised him to stay in the dungeon longer, drag it out, and pretend he lost in the end, so it wouldn't look too bad.

Based on their experience, if they can't open that door, the other teams probably can't either.

Unfortunately, Sui Yu wouldn't listen at all. After trying every method, from flying to diving, she got so angry that she led the team away.

"Have any other teams dropped out?" A gentle-looking woman asked from beside Sui Yu.

She is Sui Yu, Sui Yun's real-life wife.

"Sister-in-law, no other teams have dropped out yet; Big Brother's team was the first." The player guarding the steps said, glancing cautiously at Sui Yu.

Upon hearing this, Sui Yun remained silent. Sui Yu, standing to the side, let out a cold snort.

"A bunch of fame-seeking idiots, thinking they're somehow respectable just because they stay inside a little longer? They can't even see a single monster, what the hell are they waiting for in there?"

Hearing Sui Yu say this, those around her became incredibly curious.

What exactly is going on in this secret realm? Why is the Sui Yu so angry? What exactly happened inside?

"Captain Sui Yu, what exactly happened in this secret realm?"

A player who had a good relationship with Sui Yu asked the question that everyone was wondering about.

Just as Sui Yu was about to complain, the entrance to the secret realm above her head suddenly began to flash.

Another team has left the dungeon!

Which team will it be this time?

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to the entrance of the secret realm.

As the entrance to the secret realm continued to flash, a team appeared on the steps.

Everyone was shocked after seeing the woman in the lead's face!

This team is none other than the second-ranked Diga Squad in the Frostfire Gathering Point, led by the female player Northeast Diga.

The second team to withdraw was actually the team ranked second!

What's wrong with this secret realm? Why are the stronger teams getting eliminated the fastest?

First the first-place winner withdrew, then the second-place winner withdrew.

Is this arrangement reasonable?

After emerging from the Northeast Diga glanced down and, upon seeing the Sui Yu, gave an expression that said, "I knew it." He then turned to his teammates and said...

"What did I say? The Sui Yu Squad will definitely be the first to come out."

His teammates behind him chuckled, "Hehe, looks like the Sui Yu Squad didn't even get in the door."

These words made the players even more curious about what was happening inside the secret realm.

"Captain Sui Yu, Captain Tiga, tell me quickly, what's going on with this secret realm? How did you get out so quickly?" A player below asked impatiently.

"Ugh!" Northeast Diga waved his hand as he walked down the stairs.

Then he recounted how he couldn't even open the door after entering the secret realm.

"So... you weren't unable to win, you didn't even fight?"

Those present were surprised to find that the truth was actually like this.

This was the first time they had ever heard of having to open a door to enter a secret realm, and that the boss wouldn't let them fight if they didn't open the door—it seemed a bit absurd.

"By the way, when we went in, it showed that this secret realm was Special Secret Realm, which might be the reason," Northeast Diga guessed.

"Special Secret Realm!" Everyone was hearing this for the first time and were quite curious. Many were even eager to try entering the secret realm to take a look.

If there's danger, they wouldn't dare go in, but if there's only one door inside, then they're really something!

"Hmph! I'm putting this out there today! Not a single team that enters this secret realm will be the first to clear it, not a single team will be able to open that door!"

Sui Yu snorted coldly and said loudly.

"But boss, there are still thirty teams inside the secret realm that haven't come out yet. If they can't open the door, what are they doing in there?" the Ladder-Watching Player asked.

"What for? Of course, we're waiting for the other teams to come out first. Thinking that staying inside long enough makes you seem powerful? Heh, I'll wait here today and see if any team can open that door!"

"I'm curious too." Northeast Diga clearly didn't intend to leave at this point.

Seeing this, the other players became even more excited, and they all focused their attention on the entrance to the secret realm.

Waiting for the results of today's raid.

Tiger Roar Squad, with Northeast Tiger standing in front of the city wall with a gloomy face.

The team members stood huddled together like quails, not daring to breathe.

"Judge Young Master, aren't you a professional secret realm commander? Why can't you even open a single door?" Northeast Tiger stared at Judge Young Master with a grim expression.

Just now, they tried both climbing the wall and digging a tunnel.

However, the walls and ground inside the secret realm are completely different from those outside.

No matter how they climbed the wall, it remained in the same place; no matter how they dug the ground, nothing changed.

This method simply won't work.

The Judge Young Master secretly groaned inwardly; this Northeast Tiger was no good.

He's just the player commander, not the gate commander. What can he do if the gate won't open?

"Captain, in my opinion, this secret realm isn't as simple as it seems. I can't do anything about this door for the time being," the Judge Young Master said helplessly.

"There's no other way!" the Northeast Tiger shouted.

If it weren't for the fact that the Judge Young Master was not a simple person, he would have kicked him over there.

Did he invite people here so they would say there was nothing he could do?

Damn it, he was bragging before entering the secret realm, saying he'd definitely be the first to clear it.

Now, forget about clearing the first stage, you can't even see any monsters.

The Judge Young Master wanted to stay with the Tiger Roar Squad, so he had to patiently explain things to the Northeast Tiger.

"This Special Secret Realm is indeed quite difficult, so it's normal that we won't get the first clear right away. In my opinion, none of the teams that entered the realm today will be able to open this door."

The Northeast Tiger, after hearing what the Judge Young Master said, also felt that it made sense.

Only...

"Isn't it a bit undignified for us to just leave the secret realm like this?"

The Judge Young Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Northeast Tiger was listening to him.

"Of course we can't just leave like this! We'll wait in the secret realm, and when we come out later, we'll say that the last BOSS was too strong and we couldn't defeat it, so we left the secret realm. Anyway, no one can see what's going on inside the secret realm, and with the strength of our Tiger Roar Squad, no one will doubt our words."

Upon hearing this, the Northeast Tiger's eyes lit up!

"Let's do it this way!"
