Lin Yan calmed down; his Unique skill was too special!
Joining a guild would restrict his freedom, and searching for treasures on every floor would attract attention.
But as long as he didn't expose his room number, they wouldn't be able to find him.
Right now, he should first open a room and accumulate his first sum of wealth to sell off.
He'd buy the corresponding items from the Trade Hall to complete the Bribery.
This would make SpongeBob SquarePants, his next-door neighbor, his protective umbrella.
SpongeBob SquarePants was a Danger Four level entity.
According to them, this was equivalent to a level 45 player!
What about the other side?
Lin Yan turned his head to look at the wall on the other side and activated his Unique skill again!
The wall became transparent again!
He didn't expect it!
Sitting in the next room was an ancient-looking werewolf!
He wore a yellow and blue robe, with a long beard flowing, sitting motionless on a single sofa, sighing deeply.
Containment Object: Guang Zhi
Anomaly Evaluation: Danger Six
Anomaly Source: black myth: wukong
"Guang Zhi's weapons were confiscated before he entered the apartment; it was a flaming double-headed spinning blade. He misses it greatly."
Bribery Task: Red Tide, Golden Pool Elder's Cat's Eye Bracelet.
Mystic Rank - Middle Grade Unique skill: Red Tide: You can temporarily transform into a wolf demon, using fierce attacks to wound opponents.
Guang Zhi!
How did you get in here too!
Lin Yan's eyes widened as he carefully read the Unique skill entry.
This Unique skill was almost like the transformation skill in the black myth game.
How could Guang Zhi still help me in the Containment Apartment?
A Danger Six level also meant it was equivalent to a level 65 player!
This one must also be bribed aggressively!
As for the novice guide they mentioned, it shouldn't be a rare item.
It should be available for purchase in the Trade Hall.
Lin Yan opened the Trade Hall. This interface was for the entire apartment, with over forty million people online!
Food and supplies, furniture, tools, takeout services, and more were all available.
The people surviving in this Containment Apartment had established a miniature society.
Lu Lu Xiu's Helmet! Yellow Rank Low Grade! Can defend against the mental illusions of ghost souls! Eight million, negotiable!
Ao Bing's Cudgel! Xuan High Level! Nineteen million, non-negotiable!
Zhao Rui Long's Cigar! Smoking it can relieve pain! Ten thousand per stick, private message for details!
It was truly a dazzling array.
All kinds of anime, TV show, and movie items were available.
Equipment was also ranked according to Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow.
Lin Yan tried searching for 'novice guide' and indeed found a general version of the guide manual!
Only one hundred containment coupons!
Newcomers who had just entered the apartment fell for it due to their fear of the unknown.
Once they joined a guild and exposed their room number, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
Lin Yan decisively chose to purchase it.
The other party sent an attachment.
Lin Yan simply sat on the bed and patiently read, trying to understand the various settings of the apartment as quickly as possible.
About half an hour later, Lin Yan had mostly finished reading.
The Containment Apartment had infinite floors; the higher up, the better the conditions and the more expensive the rent.
Equipment was an item that could increase a player's combat power.
In the center of each floor was a peaceful zone, which was also where the elevator was located.
Taking the elevator allowed one to cross floors.
Lin Yan entered "Red Tide" into the search bar of the Trade Hall, but found nothing.
He searched for Golden Pool Elder.
He found two listed items: Golden Pool Elder's Toe, Golden Pool Elder's Cat's Eye Bracelet.
The latter's price reached five hundred thousand containment coupons!
This was a piece of equipment.
Containment Object: Cat's Eye Bracelet
Grade: Yellow-rank intermediate
Anomaly Source: black myth: wukong
"A bracelet belonging to a long-lived old monk. Look, it's already got a good patina."
Can slightly increase your critical hit rate when attacking!
A Yellow-rank intermediate equipment cost five hundred thousand.
Lin Yan looked at his account, which only had five thousand; accumulating five hundred thousand containment coupons would be quite difficult.
Actually, he just needed to go out and search for treasure.
If he was lucky enough to find an equipment room, he could acquire this item in one go!
He needed to be quick.
If this equipment was taken by someone else, it would be very troublesome to find again.
Lin Yan made up his mind.
The rooms on the floor were infinite; there were always doors that the Fire Dragon Guild hadn't opened.
He would go out and search for treasure!
Once he got it, he would list it on the Trade Hall to sell and accumulate containment coupons, and also buy SpongeBob SquarePants's two Bribery items!
Lin Yan searched for SpongeBob SquarePants's Bribery items in the Trade Hall; they were both there!
Lin Yan took a deep breath, stood up, and walked to the door.
He twisted the doorknob and opened a small crack first.
He looked left and right.
The apartment corridor was not dark, and was even very clean.
It looked very much like a normal hotel corridor, except that on both sides were endless rows of doors.
He couldn't see the end.
Above his head were strip-shaped cool white corridor lights.
About a hundred meters away, the lights turned circular, and there was also a crossroad below.
Lin Yan recalled the guide's content.
Newcomer rooms were not interspersed.
Instead, a circular map had been newly loaded around this floor, along with countless new rooms.
As long as he didn't expose his room number, they would have a hard time finding him in a short period.
Lin Yan looked at a few rooms and found the treasure he wanted after three doors!
Containment Object: Arno's Injection X5
Equipment Room!
Lin Yan looked left and right at the doorway.
No one.
He stepped forward, twisted the doorknob, decisively slipped inside, and carefully closed the door.
Behind the door was a cloned layout identical to his own room.
On the desk was an open plastic box containing five disposable pressure syringes.
Containment Object: Arno's Injection X5
Grade: Yellow Rank Low Grade.
Anomaly Source: earth ol
"Then I ask you, then I ask you, are you a man or a woman?"
After injection, gain extraordinary strength, but there is a probability of temporary speech impediment and organizational ability... and impotence.
Enhancement item!
Lin Yan thought about it; this kind of direct combat power-boosting potion could correspond to Zhao Rui Long's cigar.
Selling it for ten thousand per stick shouldn't be expensive.
That would be fifty thousand containment coupons!
If he decided to live a simple life, these fifty thousand could cover rent for more than half a year.
But he wasn't that type.
Freedom was a commodity, as long as you could afford the price.
Lin Yan tapped into the void.
The moment he put the box into his inventory space, a prompt immediately sounded in his mind.
Containment object has escaped, this room will be revoked in one hundred and twenty minutes!
Oh.
So that's how it was.
He couldn't occupy other people's rooms to avoid rent.
Once a containment object disappeared or died, the room would be decommissioned.
Lin Yan went out.
He continued to use his Bribery Eye to look at other rooms; the doors were transparent to him.
Just after turning a corner, Lin Yan suddenly heard a cursing sound.
He quickly moved along the corner of the wall, peeking quietly.
"What are you doing! I won't join the guild!"
"Don't want to join the guild! And don't want to pay containment coupons? You want everything, huh?"
Boom!
Lin Yan saw several people standing at the door of a room, and one man actually spewed flames from his nose!
Then!
A person covered in fire ran out of the room.
Amidst the piercing screams, several people laughed loudly, as if enjoying some fun show.
"Hahahaha, go tell the teacher!"
Suddenly!
One of them spotted him: "Hey! You! Don't move!"
Damn it, they were old players.
Players could gain experience by killing anomalies.
Every level up would enhance physical qualities, such as strength, dynamic vision, and hearing.
"Don't want to die? Stand still!"
Containment Object: Lin Zefu
Level: 20
Anomaly Source: earth ol
Bribery Task: Five million containment coupons, 3P, one Mystic Rank - Middle Grade item.
Xuan-rank low-grade Unique skill: Snot Dragon: Your snot is endless, but a single stream can spray flames!
Lin Yan deduced another thing.
Humans could also be bribed.
But you're too greedy; I can't be friends with you!
There were six people in this group, and the highest level was this Lin Zefu.
They all wore morale badges with a Fire Dragon pattern.
With his level 20 physique, Lin Yan definitely couldn't outrun him in a completely straight corridor.
If they knew he hadn't joined the guild, being extorted for a sum of containment coupons was certain.
He might even end up like that burning man.
Lin Yan's brain quickly thought.
He looked around for a solution.
Suddenly, his eyes widened!
Containment Object: Changshu Arno
Anomaly Evaluation: Danger Three
Anomaly Source: earth ol
"I, Arno, will hug my beloved on the left side, because the left side is closer to the heart... Is the heart on the left or right?"
Bribery Task: Arno's Injection.
Xuan-rank low-grade Unique skill: Pointy Head: Sacrifice a portion of sanity to greatly strengthen your body, and become very concerned about the shape of your head.
Danger Level Three!
Equivalent to a level 35 strong person!
The injection he had was exactly his Bribery item, which could directly unlock his highest favorability!
A wicked plan suddenly popped into Lin Yan's mind!
What a coincidence.
How about this?
Let's use you guys to test the power of my Bribery Unique skill!
He was only a few steps away from Arno's room.
Bribe Arno, unlock maximum favorability.
Let's see if his good buddy can tolerate him being bullied!
Lin Yan's eyes couldn't help but turn a few shades colder.
If you guys die, it wasn't me who did it; it was my buddy.
