Lin Yuanzhou unhurriedly put on his clothes and asked, “What happened?”
Fei Bai’s eyes drifted, not daring to look at Lin Yuanzhou.
“Someone has come in this direction. They have S-rank items, and I’m afraid they’re after you.”
Lin Yuanzhou chuckled, a hint of murderous intent in his clear, cold voice, “People nowadays are so ignorant of their own limitations?”
Fei Bai explained, “This group isn’t simple. The leader is quite intelligent and has already reached your office. They’ll probably be here soon.”
Lin Yuanzhou curved his lips, “Perfect. When they come, I’ll deal with them all at once.”
Saying that, he glanced at Fei Bai, “They’re just a few nobodies. Why are you so flustered?”
Fei Bai looked at Lin Yuanzhou’s confident demeanor and nudged his chin towards Shen Jiahe, “I’m afraid they’ll come in and see the one next to you.”
He wasn’t blind; he had noticed as soon as he came in that Lin Yuanzhou had feelings for this girl.
Normally, in the instance dungeon, he always maintained a cold, aloof expression.
But when facing Shen Jiahe, his fawning, servile manner was simply unbearable to watch!
He almost thought Lin Yuanzhou had been possessed!
Lin Yuanzhou frowned, took a small step forward, blocking Shen Jiahe, and his tone suddenly turned chilling, “They wouldn’t dare?!”
“They wouldn’t dare to you, but what about her?” Fei Bai pointed at Shen Jiahe.
“She’s a player, and if others see her being so intimate with you, an instance dungeon BOSS, she’ll be in danger,” Fei Bai said.
Lin Yuanzhou’s face was expressionless, “I will protect Jiahe well.”
Fei Bai’s mouth twitched, “I told you this not to resort to violence, but to hide her properly.”
Lin Yuanzhou retorted, “Jiahe is my wife! What’s there to hide?!”
Fei Bai: “…”
Love-struck minds are truly terrifying.
He usually seemed quite smart, but why did his IQ regress to that of a ten-year-old after encountering a woman?
Shen Jiahe tugged at Lin Yuanzhou and said, “I think he makes sense.”
Lin Yuanzhou’s expression softened, and he nodded in agreement, “Mm, what my wife says is always right.”
Fei Bai was annoyed. How could he be so biased!
“Hey? You…”
Just as he was about to complain, his gaze met Lin Yuanzhou’s.
The words he wanted to say were instantly swallowed back.
Forget it, he couldn’t win.
“Then I’ll go take a look first. If they really intend to force their way in, you should be prepared.” After Fei Bai reminded him, he quickly left.
On the other side.
Ding Dong had been waiting in the dormitory hall for 20 minutes, but Shen Jiahe was nowhere to be seen.
He glanced at where Shen Jiahe had left, a malicious smile playing on his lips.
This little girl looked quite good, but unfortunately, she was short-lived.
After staying in place for less than half an hour, a small team of people ran over.
“Brother Ding,” the leader called out.
Ding Dong responded, “The Bizarre are all out catching players now, so it’s temporarily safe here.”
Zhao Jingning glanced at him and asked, “Where’s the woman who was with you?”
Ding Dong chuckled and said casually, “She’s probably dead. Don’t worry about her.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the area he had just searched, “Upstairs from here is the office area. That woman hasn’t returned, so she probably ran into the BOSS. Our temporary activity area is here.”
Zhao Jingning glanced at the watch on his wrist and nodded, “It’ll be dawn in two more hours.”
Ding Dong: “In two hours, the Bizarre will be back. Although the Bizarre enter dormancy during the day, they will wake up if disturbed. We need to find clues as soon as possible.”
The group nodded and followed Ding Dong upstairs.
Bullet comments:
【What a pity, that Shen Jiahe was quite pretty, but she turned out to be cannon fodder and died so quickly.】
【Newborn calves aren’t afraid of tigers, huh? That place clearly didn’t look simple, yet she still dared to push the door open.】
【Too bad, we can’t see inside the BOSS’s room, otherwise I really want to see how she looked before she died.】
【Newbies meeting Brother Ding are just too unlucky. So, sometimes luck is also a crucial part.】
【Looking at Brother Ding’s speed, he wants to speedrun this instance dungeon.】
Inside the room.
Shen Jiahe looked at Lin Yuanzhou, who was sitting beside her, and suggested, “How about I go out?”
Lin Yuanzhou frowned, his expression turning serious, “No, it’s too dangerous outside. What if you get hurt?”
Shen Jiahe looked up, gazing earnestly at Lin Yuanzhou, “I can’t always be a hothouse flower, always under your protection, can I?”
Lin Yuanzhou fell silent.
Once players enter an instance dungeon, they must continuously clear various instance dungeons, unless they exchange points for days outside, but points can only be obtained from instance dungeons.
The difficulty of instance dungeons is random, but there’s no guarantee that Shen Jiahe won’t choose the hardest one.
Shen Jiahe knew Lin Yuanzhou was worried about her. She gently stroked his cheek with her palm, “I have strength, you know.”
Lin Yuanzhou lowered his gaze, reached out, and pulled Shen Jiahe into a hug, murmuring, “Wife, why did you enter a horror instance dungeon?”
Shen Jiahe patted his head and whispered, “You have to believe me.”
The Touch Hand behind Lin Yuanzhou unfolded, pulling Shen Jiahe into his embrace. He cupped Shen Jiahe’s head with one hand and directly kissed her.
The kiss caught Shen Jiahe somewhat off guard.
She instinctively opened her mouth. Lin Yuanzhou knew her too well, and soon kissed her until she could barely breathe.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yuanzhou finally released Shen Jiahe.
“You’re right, you need to have the ability to protect yourself,” Lin Yuanzhou said in a hoarse voice.
The Touch Hand reluctantly released Shen Jiahe, then rummaged through its pocket, pulling out a pile of items.
There were necklaces, gloves, rings, daggers… and pink handcuffs?
Shen Jiahe was somewhat silent as she looked at the pile of items by the foot of the bed.
“What are these things?”
Lin Yuanzhou stuffed the items onto Shen Jiahe, “These are all things I collected from previous instance dungeons. Take them; they might be useful.”
Shen Jiahe picked up the pink handcuffs. The handcuffs clanged, and in the quiet room, the sound was exceptionally clear and distinct.
She looked at Lin Yuanzhou with a bewildered expression, “Do you even have such erotic items in your instance dungeons?”
Lin Yuanzhou’s old face flushed. He immediately snatched the handcuffs and threw them under the bed.
“Cough cough!! Perhaps… perhaps I collected them too quickly… and just grabbed them along the way. That’s not important.”
As she put the items on, the system voice in her mind kept ringing.
【Congratulations to the player, you have obtained a spatial ring.】
【Congratulations to the player, you have obtained an SS-rank defensive item, Heart of Guardian.】
【Congratulations to the player, you have obtained an S-rank offensive item, Shadow Ice Blade.】
【…】
This… it feels like being a pay-to-win player…
No wonder Fei Bai said someone brought S-rank items, and Lin Yuanzhou wasn’t flustered at all; he had even more things in his hands.
“You gave all these to me, what about you?” Shen Jiahe asked.
Lin Yuanzhou said confidently, “I’m an instance dungeon BOSS! I’m very powerful.”
Lin Yuanzhou hugged Shen Jiahe, his voice full of reluctance, “Wife, the Bizarre are not scary; what’s scary is the human heart. In the instance dungeon, never trust anyone.”
Shen Jiahe nodded. As soon as she entered the instance dungeon, she immediately became vigilant, but she was still deceived by Ding Dong.
If Lin Yuanzhou hadn’t been the BOSS, she probably would have met her end here.
