Cheating!

"My talent can break the rules. If that's the case, leaving isn't really that hard..." Zhou Yi thought to himself, his mindset relaxing a bit.

"Let me look around elsewhere, see if I can find a way out..."

Zhou Yi didn't stay at his workstation. After thinking it over, he started moving through the factory.

After making a round, Zhou Yi arrived in front of the break room mentioned in the employee handbook.

The break room wasn't empty. Three Transcendents had already gathered inside.

They were from the Kimchi Kingdom, the Pretty Kingdom, and the Sakura Kingdom. They seemed to be discussing something...

As Zhou Yi entered, the three Transcendents stopped talking and turned their gazes to him.

"Looks like the Dragon Kingdom produced a decent Transcendent this time," said the Pretty Kingdom Transcendent, looking at Zhou Yi with surprise in his eyes.

"You're not bad yourselves..." Zhou Yi replied with a faint smile.

"As long as we're in the slaughterhouse, the power of the rules will assimilate us into aberrations. We won't even last seven days before we turn into monsters..." said the Kimchi Kingdom Transcendent, pushing up his glasses as he looked at Zhou Yi.

"This Bloody Slaughterhouse probably never intended to let us walk out," the Pretty Kingdom Transcendent added.

Work would assimilate them into cattle; not working would make them cattle waiting to be slaughtered. Before they could even find a way to escape, they'd be completely assimilated.

"Dragon Kingdom Transcendent, do you have any ideas?" the Pretty Kingdom Transcendent asked, looking at Zhou Yi.

"Ideas? Of course. Just kill our way out!" Zhou Yi said.

Given the current situation, there was no safe way to leave this Bloody Slaughterhouse.

Right now, his Super Brain told him it was time to use his Super Strength!

"Kill our way out? Are you crazy? Without enough power, how can we fight the aberrations?" the Pretty Kingdom Transcendent looked at Zhou Yi like he was insane.

"Aberrations? They're nothing. Snuff them out with a flick. If I want to leave, the path is right under my feet." Zhou Yi didn't explain further, just smiled faintly.

"Heh, are all you Dragon Kingdom people this arrogant?"

Hearing this, the Sakura Kingdom Transcendent let out a cold laugh, then turned to the Pretty Kingdom and Kimchi Kingdom Transcendents and said, "Let's go. Ignore him. Let's explore other areas and see if we can find a way out."

With that, the Sakura Kingdom Transcendent didn't linger and walked out of the break room.

The Pretty Kingdom and Kimchi Kingdom Transcendents glanced at Zhou Yi, then left without a word.

Zhou Yi didn't react much to their departure. After they left, he didn't stay either, heading toward the slaughterhouse's main gate.

The path was clear, with no obstacles. Zhou Yi reached the slaughterhouse exit effortlessly, arriving in front of a rusty iron door.

Black qi swirled around the iron door. Even from several meters away, he could feel the eerie aura emanating from it.

"Let me see if this iron door is harder, or my fists..."

Staring at the iron door radiating that sinister aura, Zhou Yi showed no fear in his eyes. Instead, a glint of eagerness flickered. He stretched his limbs, ready to strike.

But before he could act, Mo Shang and Jiang Shuyu arrived.

"Hello." Mo Shang smiled and greeted him.

Zhou Yi didn't respond to the greeting. He stared at the two warily and asked, "Are you guests of the slaughterhouse?"

"You could say that."

Mo Shang nodded, pulling a Blood Key from his pocket and unlocking the rusty iron door.

As the door swung open, the black mist surrounding the slaughterhouse parted, revealing a passage.

Looking out through the passage, a ruined city came into view...

At that moment, Zhou Yi froze. He had been about to force his way out with his talent, and then this guy casually pulled out a key and opened the door!

"Aren't you coming? If not, I'll lock it back." Mo Shang looked at the stunned Zhou Yi and asked.

"Ah? Oh, coming."

Zhou Yi snapped out of it, looked at the open door, and followed them out of the slaughterhouse.

As soon as he left, a prompt flashed before his eyes.

Congratulations to the Dragon Kingdom Transcendent for clearing the Hell difficulty dungeon, Bloody Slaughterhouse.

Rating: Two Stars. Luck is also part of strength.

Reward: All Dragon Kingdom citizens' physique increased by 10%.

Staring at the clear notification, Zhou Yi's expression turned blank.

Not only that, but the audience watching the dungeon livestream was also flooding the screen with question marks.

"Wait, he just walked out like that? Where did that guy get a key???"

"They said they were guests of the slaughterhouse. Having a key makes sense, I guess..."

"An aberration helping open the door? Is this right?"

"How is this an aberration? They're clearly great people!"

"I feel like they're not aberrations at all..."

"Pretty handy, actually."

After Zhou Yi came out, Mo Shang locked the door back, tossed the key in his hand, and a hint of a smile crept onto his face.

"Um, if I may ask, where did you get that key?" Zhou Yi stared at the key in Mo Shang's hand, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Mo Shang didn't answer Zhou Yi's question but asked one in return.

This key was no ordinary thing—it was a creation of the Weird World's rules. Whoever held it could freely enter and leave the Blue Star world and the Weird World...

As for how he got the key, that went back to when he was chatting in the Butcher's office.

While talking with the Butcher, he'd casually mentioned it, and then the Weird World's rules kicked in, giving him this key...

"No rush, there's still something I need to do..." Zhou Yi smiled.

Though he'd already cleared the instance, Zhou Yi wasn't in a hurry to leave. Staring at the door that had been locked again, he felt an itch in his fists.

Acting on the impulse to test his talent, he threw a punch.

The next moment, the S-Rank Talent's effect activated. The eerie energy coiled around the iron door melted away like snow under the sun, and the already rusted door instantly turned to ash, scattering into nothing.

As the iron door was forcibly destroyed, a roar echoed through the entire slaughterhouse:

"Damn it! You're already out, and you still smash my door! I'll kill you!"

"Shit, time to scram..."

Hearing the Butcher's furious roar, Zhou Yi knew things had gone south. Without a second thought, he teleported back to the real world.

"How does he run into a cheater everywhere he goes? I'm honestly speechless—I shouldn't have even opened the door for him..."

Watching the other guy shatter the door with one punch, Mo Shang couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

He knew this instance was reinforced by rules—everything had to follow them.

Other chosen ones tiptoed around the rules, searching for clues to clear the instance, but this guy? One punch and he'd broken the rules themselves.

"Seriously, on the grand stage of all realms, if you don't cheat, don't come..."

Muttering again, Mo Shang didn't linger either. He took Jiang Shuyu and left the place.
