Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and turned toward the nearest room with its door open. Watching her steady steps, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and even the bullet comments began to grow tense.
[Although we know Baby Rongrong is the tankiest of the three! Watching this is still so nerve-racking!]
[Quiet! Success or failure hinges on this!]
[Bullet comment squad, get ready! Be prepared to teleport bullet comments in as protective armor at any moment!]
The room was pitch-black from the outside. Ning Rongrong summoned the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her right hand, while her left hand produced the Little Black-Yellow Pagoda she had obtained by mooching off Gu Zhi's system rewards.
She used three soul skills from her right hand to boost her speed, defense, and soul power, while the Little Black-Yellow Pagoda in her left hand cast down a layer of golden light as a shield, further strengthening her defenses. Her soul bone, Earth God Law Power, earth-element defensive treasures, and every other method at her disposal were all brought out. She had forcibly piled her three-ring defense up to a level close to that of a Five-Ring Soul King.
In addition, her passive skill continuously converted her defensive ability into damage reflection. For the next five minutes, all combat damage Ning Rongrong suffered on a physical level would be borne by the opponent who dealt the damage!
The lights suddenly blazed on after she entered the room, forcing Ning Rongrong to close her eyes. Then, with a thud, something heavy seemed to be knocked over onto the floor!
Ning Rongrong hurriedly opened her eyes. A fresh Imposter corpse lay on the ground. From the looks of it, it had been directly killed by the reflected damage effect!
[Holy crap! Entering the room triggers concept-level blindness! What kind of hellish skill is that!]
[Not just that! This Imposter has infinite attack power while inside the room! Even a God King would have to kneel!]
[Thankfully, Baby Rongrong's damage reflection is also an incredibly powerful mechanic! As long as the five minutes aren't up, nobody can break through her defense! Otherwise, there would have been no way to avoid this Imposter's attack!]
[Fortunately, this Imposter's defense and health bar are garbage too! It couldn't withstand having its own damage reflected back and got bounced to death! As expected, only mechanics can counter mechanics! Without Ning Rongrong's damage reflection, nobody could handle this!]
[Did you notice? This Imposter originally didn't belong in this room! I finally understand this room's mechanic! Aside from Imposters who signed rental contracts with Ghost Granny, anyone who enters a room with an open door will be attacked by an Imposter!]
[Even dyeing their clothes red doesn't work? Then Ning Rongrong is the only one who can clear this stage! She really lucked into it!]
[What luck? If Ning Rongrong didn't have this mechanic, how could she possibly have come in? This can only be called karma! Infinite attack power met someone who could reflect damage! Every cause has its effect!]
Before Ning Rongrong had even figured out what was happening, the bullet comments had already sorted out the entire chain of events. After hearing them, all the Douluo beauties watching the comments finally let out sighs of relief!
"I didn't expect the rules to be this outrageous! Good thing Rongrong is here!"
After reading the comments, Xiao Wu let out a long breath. The commotion in the room had truly frightened her just now.
"Even though we were already being so cautious, we still nearly fell for it! This strange space is far too dangerous!"
Zhu Zhuqing was also shaken with lingering fear. They had been as careful as they possibly could along the way, yet they had still nearly stumbled!
No wonder not a single person chosen by these strange incidents had returned alive! Without some sort of mechanic, they probably couldn't even last five minutes!
Ning Rongrong, who was inside the room, was actually the calmest one. After all, she had merely activated her mechanic and counter-killed it. If the bullet comments had not explained it to her, she would not even have known that she had completed a counter-kill.
"So this is the mechanic the bullet comments kept talking about... It really is impressive..."
Ning Rongrong smiled smugly, feeling that a mere Imposter was nothing special. But just as she was preparing to continue, another Imposter materialized out of thin air inside the room!
[Holy crap! There's a second round too! What kind of unit is this one?]
[This is bad! This room's setting is so insane! As long as the intruder isn't dead, they'll keep getting hunted!]
[The attack power is still infinite! Are you kidding me? Baby Rongrong, ram it to death!]
[Such a dirty trick! No aerobic organism could come up with it! No anaerobic organism could come up with it either! Only an oxygen-avoidant organism could think of this!]
Forget Ning Rongrong—even the bullet comments were dumbfounded. Which idiot had designed these rules?
However, the bullet comments did not stay angry for long before bursting into laughter again, because this newly appeared Imposter still did not know about Ning Rongrong's damage reflection mechanic and charged over to offer itself up!
Ning Rongrong:...
Bullet comments:...
[I take back what I said! This thing must be the comic relief sent by monkeys!]
[Now I get it! Damage reflection mechanics are forever unbeatable!]
[Place your bets! How many kills do you think Ning Rongrong can get? I bet on five kills!]
[Only five? If the people next door see that, they'll think we can't afford to kill them! Bring on another hundred! A hundred in one minute!]
[Hey! An Imposter's life is still a life, isn't it? Don't you people have hearts?]
[Raising a hand isn't an apology! It's saying, "Imposter, you still need more practice!"]
The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful, though the Imposters really could not be blamed for being too funny. Who could have expected a Douluo native to possess such an absurd mechanic?
The only thing that left both the bullet comments and Ning Rongrong speechless was that every time an Imposter appeared, it came with a concept-level blinding effect, severely affecting Ning Rongrong's progress in searching the room.
Before another Imposter spawned, Ning Rongrong quickly inspected the room. It was not much different from the rooms with closed doors from before, except that it contained somewhat more supplies.
"Canned food, water, fire starters, weapons... Did we come here to play PUBG?"
After looking over the supplies, Ning Rongrong was even more speechless. Were these piles of junk really worth guarding with an Imposter that had infinite attack power?
A new Imposter spawned and once again rushed over to throw its life away. Ning Rongrong no longer cared. Once the blinding effect faded, she continued searching for anything else suspicious.
[Come on! These strange rules could clearly kill people outright! They insist on putting out this little pile of junk just to disgust us?]
[I told you, it's a strange incident! It was never meant to let ordinary people live! Being able to farm a few supplies is already pretty good!]
[I'm dying! Is Baby Rongrong treating the blinding effect like mood lighting?]
[She has no choice! The damage reflection mechanic only lasts five minutes! She can't afford to waste time!]
[Baby Rongrong, don't just look at that trash! Why don't you check whether those Imposters have anything on them?]
The dazzling variety of bullet comments was enough to make anyone's eyes spin, but Ning Rongrong still keenly caught one crucial suggestion.
After searching the entire room, were these trash supplies really the most valuable things here?
The most valuable things should be these Imposters!
Ning Rongrong hurriedly turned around and inspected the pile of Imposter corpses in the corner. Yet after searching them, she still found nothing useful.
Had she and the bullet comments guessed wrong again?
"Hearts... Ghost Granny took the Imposters' hearts... Could that be a clue?"
Ning Rongrong's mind worked quickly, and she found some inspiration in earlier details. Then, enduring her disgust, she removed an Imposter's heart!
