Arno scratched his chin, which was covered in minced meat and fat.
He looked down at Lin Yan.
He reached out and tore his vest, which squirmed eerily as if it were alive!
"This is for you."
He threw it onto his hand!
What is this?
Your cassock?
【Obtained: Changshu Arno's Thank You Gift】
【Containment Object: Gym Skin】
【Anomaly Level: Black Rank Low Grade】
【Anomaly Source: Changshu Arno】
【"Life is like an adventure; how can you know what surprises lie ahead if you don't venture out?"】
【When activated, it transforms into solidified liquid armor, possessing impressive defensive capabilities! It can prevent muscle strains during exercise.】
Lin Yan's eyes widened!
Black Rank equipment! It could fetch millions in the Trading Hall!
He actually gave it to him directly?
Could it be that every "big brother" gives a thank you gift after he unlocks their maximum favorability?
That would be amazing!
Lin Yan chose to equip it in his mind.
A cool black leather jacket automatically appeared on him!
He looked very spirited!
"Thank you, Big Brother Arno!"
Arno mumbled: "Hmm, I'm sleepy. Sleep is very important, but I'm not sleepy..."
Alright.
He respectfully saw off this killing god, who dragged his meatball back to his room; it was normal for him to replenish carbs after exercising.
He, on the other hand, stealthily slipped back to his room to first take a shower and wash off the bloodstains.
From the perspective of the Fire Dragon Guild, Lin Zefu had led the team, opening the door out of greed, only to find a pile of dung.
All members were annihilated.
No corpses were left behind.
Searching for the killer was meaningless; in the Anomaly Containment Apartment, being killed by an anomaly was considered a natural death.
Lin Yan suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Although he had lost five Strengthening Potion.
But he had gained a Level 35 big brother and a Black Rank exclusive weapon!
This Bribery system was truly terrifying!
As long as he completed the Bribery task, his good friends would help him kill people!
He would also receive Unique skills and thank-you gift items!
Information!
He needed a lot of information!
Finding the corresponding Bribery item for the corresponding person.
Lin Yan would turn this floor into his backyard, with big brothers everywhere!
Lin Yan finished his shower.
He opened the Trading Hall and spent one hundred containment coupons to buy a floor map.
He was currently on the 1408th floor, room number 2025.
The entire floor was like an infinitely expanding square grid.
Countless rooms were layered, with a perfect circular shape in the center.
The Apartment Management Office had eight elevators that could go to other floors, and it was also a "Peace Zone."
No non-human anomalies could enter.
Players were also forbidden from using violence in this area; "Apartment Managers" would maintain this rule.
1408 was considered a middle-lower floor in the entire apartment; the rooms below it became progressively worse in quality.
Below the thousandth floor.
People's residences were sewers, mines, and concrete bare rooms, like the Backrooms.
But the rent was very cheap.
Upwards.
The luxury of the residences was unimaginable.
For example, the castle floor on the ten-thousandth floor.
Behind the door was a luxurious castle, three kilometers square, and even the servants could number in the triple digits!
The rooms on 1408 near the Apartment Management Office were called "Downtown" by them.
Lin Yan checked his equipment.
Only Lin Zefu had two pieces, showing that anomaly equipment was not something everyone could afford.
That Golden Pool Elder's bracelet alone cost five hundred thousand containment coupons!
【Containment Object: Chen Yongren's Police Badge】
【Level: Yellow Rank Low Grade.】
【Anomaly Source: "Infernal Affairs"】
【"A badge that could never be awarded, in Inspector Wong's drawer."】
【The badge of an upright police officer, with a suppressive effect on strange entities.】
Lin Yan didn't expect Hong Kong crime drama plots to exist; would he even get to see Lau Kin Ming?
Next item.
【Containment Object: Nurse's Scissors】
【Level: Yellow Rank Low Grade.】
【Anomaly Source: "Silent Hill"】
【"Nurse Allen's personal scissors, once used to help a little girl, whose body was completely burned, cut open her melted clothes."】
【Enemies injured by it have a 15% chance of receiving the favor of the God of Tetanus.】
This broken apartment had almost everything: characters from various movies, animations, TV shows, and games.
Perhaps there were even Anomalous Ganyu and Anomalous Ultraman Tiga.
These two items were very low level.
And both had clear owners.
Chen Yongren's police badge, Silent Hill's beautiful nurse.
If he could find their rooms in the apartment, he could unlock maximum favorability!
That was Chen Yongren and a beautiful nurse!
【Containment Object: First Aid Spray】
【Level: Yellow Rank Mid Grade.】
【Anomaly Source: "Resident Evil I"】
【"Hey! Rookie cop, just spray this on your face, don't ask why."】
【Spraying the injured area with medicinal mist can restore one-third of health; one can can be used three times.】
It was a first-aid type item.
Disposable, he currently had six.
He only had over ninety thousand containment coupons now, so he definitely couldn't afford Guang Zhi's Bribery item.
But he could try to find SpongeBob SquarePants's items.
Lin Yan opened the Trading Hall and searched for "spatula" and "chef hat."
【Excellent Employee Spatula】
【Level: Yellow Rank Low Grade】
【Anomaly Source: "SpongeBob SquarePants"】
【"The essence of the Krabby Patty is... uh, what was it again?"】
【The meat patties you cook have a unique aroma.】
The listing price was only one hundred thousand containment coupons, and the chef hat was twice as expensive, costing two hundred thousand containment coupons.
He needed three hundred thousand to acquire them.
Lin Yan thought for a long time, and decided to sell the Nurse's Scissors.
His top priority was to find a backer; if he was too stingy with equipment, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Sell!
The Yellow Rank Low Grade Nurse's Scissors were listed for two hundred twenty thousand.
As long as any item was related to combat, the market was always good.
Lin Yan waited about twenty minutes before someone inquired, and after being haggled down by ten thousand, the transaction was successful!
He instantly had three hundred ten thousand containment coupons!
Lin Yan quickly opened the Trading Hall and bought them outright!
【Excellent Employee Chef Hat】
【Level: Yellow Rank Mid Grade】
【Anomaly Source: "SpongeBob SquarePants"】
【"Hey! SpongeBob SquarePants! This is a hat awarded to excellent employees!"】
【The food you cook will at least not be unpalatable.】
He spent three hundred thousand containment coupons to acquire it!
He still had about nine thousand containment coupons left, which he used up before entering the apartment.
Lin Yan took out the newly acquired hat and spatula from his bag.
SpongeBob SquarePants was a Level 4 anomaly, equivalent to a Level 45 player, so being stingy with this small amount of money would be too narrow-minded.
Time to bribe!
Arno's meatball-making spot was only a dozen rooms away.
Large patches of bloodstains were still there.
The smell of blood in the air made one feel as if they were in a butcher shop.
Lin Yan vigilantly looked left and right.
He took a deep breath in front of the door and directly twisted open SpongeBob SquarePants's door.
A sweet, fishy seafood smell wafted out.
The room was dim, with only green light spots emitted by emergency indicator lights.
Suddenly!
A large square object! It broke through the bathroom glass door like lightning!
A pair of eyeballs, as large as billiard balls, fell from it, rolling around very elastically!
They floated up!
SpongeBob SquarePants's front had three large holes; two were for the eyeballs.
Its mouth was a slightly larger, perfectly circular orifice.
Covered with spiral-shaped sharp teeth!
Lin Yan's heart jumped!
Is this still an animated character?!
You must be the SpongeBob SquarePants from R'lyeh!
Lin Yan quickly pulled out the golden spatula, holding it up in front of it like a cross!
"Stop!"
Instantly!
This large grey cube stopped in its tracks.
Lin Yan's heart pounded; this killing intent was too powerful!
He was almost instantly killed by it.
The large square in front of him wore a muddy suit and exaggerated rubber shoes.
The two floating large eyeballs made one want to poke them.
The eyeballs surveyed the spatula.
"Gurgle.... gurgle."
Three octopus-like tentacles extended from SpongeBob SquarePants's orifice, making Lin Yan's back feel cold.
Is Squidward in your stomach?
One tentacle rolled up the spatula.
It shook it constantly as if holding a cat; SpongeBob SquarePants was very happy.
Seeing this, Lin Yan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The difference between this guy and his animated counterpart was too great; no wonder he was contained here.
And unlike Changshu Arno, it couldn't communicate.
Then he would continue to bribe!
Lin Yan took out a dirty chef hat.
He solemnly placed it on SpongeBob SquarePants's... top surface.
"Gurgle.... gurgle."
Its two eyes floated up and circled to its head, looking at the hat, then suddenly started spraying water like a faucet!
"Whoosh----!"
It was probably seawater.
"Wuwuwuwu...."
【Congratulations! You have unlocked "SpongeBob SquarePants" maximum favorability!】
【Current replicable entry: Culinary Master!】
SpongeBob SquarePants's body arched.
From its mouth, it actually spat out a sticky plastic lunchbox!
SpongeBob SquarePants gestured with its eyeballs and tentacles, telling him to pick it up.
【Obtained: SpongeBob SquarePants's Thank You Gift】
【Containment Object: Excellent Employee Lunchbox】
【Anomaly Level: Yellow Rank Low Grade】
【Anomaly Source: SpongeBob SquarePants】
【"Villain? Penguin Boy! A villain has appeared!"】
【Every hour, a delicious Krabby Patty automatically refreshes inside the lunchbox, authentic Bikini Bottom flavor!】
It seemed the equipment level of the thank you gift was completely random.
Some were combat equipment, some were daily life items.
Thank you, Brother SpongeBob!
