Chapter 88: Chapter 87 Preparing for the Dungeon!_1

Players who realized that their levels were finally starting to bottleneck on the main questline, weren’t disheartened; instead, their spirits were lifted.

Because after seeing the content of the side quests,

they immediately recognized that this so-called "nightmare that could quickly increase one’s strength" must be the instances of this world.

Of course, the phrase "Tan Juan Geraint might know some ways to enter ’nightmares’" combined with the prompt "Favorites Shop now open" made them feel a bit uneasy ...

— Surely the ticket to this instance couldn’t be bought with Tan Juan’s favorability points, could it?

This is bad, really bad.

The players discussed uneasily on the forum.

And Annan, the planner lurking on the player’s forum, had an epiphany as soon as he saw it.

Right, I can put the tickets in the favorability shop!

... No, I should just sell it to everyone for 50 favor points directly.

Otherwise, they’ll come up with some crooked idea of each person exchanging for one.

With this thought, Annan glanced over.

Thankfully, when he’d headed for the mansion earlier, he had called all the players together ... Forty players, including a few who had died and were resurrected, were all present.

It was the perfect excuse to deduct favor from everyone present all at once ...

Thus, Annan promptly asked, "Do you have any more questions?

"Remember to go to the study to claim your rewards, and then you can head back to Frostwater Harbor. I still have some things to deal with Salvatore here, and it may take a few days before I can return."

You’ve totally revealed your hand, haven’t you? The fact that you actually don’t need our protection ...

Players couldn’t help but complain inwardly.

It was like accepting a "escort important NPC to a location" mission, only to trigger a cutscene upon arrival and finding out that the NPC they were escorting was much more powerful than they were ...

"Young master," as the players watched, Jiu’er who had long since revived and was full of life, consciously came up to ask, "Do you know ... about nightmares?"

— Here it comes, here it comes!

Finally, someone came over to trigger the plot with me!

Annan rejoiced secretly in his heart.

Then, his expression grew serious, "Of course, I know.

"The so-called nightmares are the remnants left behind after a Transcendent dies. Just as I told you before ... all transcendental powers in this world come from curses. So nightmares are the physical manifestation of curses.

"It’s extremely dangerous to enter nightmares rashly. If you die too many times within a nightmare, your mind will not be able to bear it, and your soul will be tainted. Simply put, you’ll go mad ..."

After speaking, Annan suddenly became vigilant, "Do you ... want to enter a nightmare?"

"We ..."

"— I understand."

Before Jiu’er could attempt to argue, Annan cut her off again, "Never mind, I won’t stop you anymore ... I have stopped you many times already. I’ve seen your desire for power, and you’ve proven to me that you all have good morals, excellent learning ability, flexible adaptability, as well as self-discipline and unity.

"Now is the time to tell you something I haven’t mentioned before."

Annan spoke gravely.

"... Did he stop us before?"

"It must be a setting, it must be a setting ..."

"Wow, I can handle this little look!"

"Control yourself, dammit! And the rest of you, keep a straight face, we’re discussing serious matters, don’t laugh ah ah ah ah!"

The players’ expressions turned somber as if they were being scolded by a homeroom teacher, and then they couldn’t stop laughing out loud on the forum.

Annan also wore a serious expression as if he was ready to talk about something important, looking at them with a heavy and solemn gaze, a hint of a sacred mission in his eyes.

Meanwhile, he was also watching them laugh out loud on the forum.

"... This is your choice, and I respect your will. Nightmares can indeed quickly increase personal strength, but they also come with risks. I want to warn you in advance—"

Annan continued to explain precautions to the players, educating them about the settings: "The reason why nightmares are very dangerous is that in nightmares, most Transcendents cannot use their abilities—such as swordsmanship or Spell.

"Because in the nightmare, you will ’directly become another person’, which means you will use someone else’s body ... And that body may not support the fighting style you’re used to. Even a Transcendent with high levels and rich experience can die carelessly in a nightmare. Therefore, you can never take nightmares lightly.

"Of course, this is also your advantage ... because you are not considered Transcendent, have the mindset of ordinary people, so when you play as ordinary people in nightmares, you won’t fall into some presumptuous traps ..."

Annan dutifully completed his mission as a guide NPC, explaining to the players with a stern face.

The players, in turn, were responsible for making real-time sarcastic comments about Annan’s introduction.

Jiu’er: "So, to put it simply, the instance is like a built-in RPG mini-game?"

"Actually, it feels more like a role-playing campaign, and it’s like COC to me."

Lin Yiyi suddenly blurted out, "I also have this bad feeling all of a sudden. It couldn’t be a horror game, could it..."

The Wandering Child casually said, "Impossible. Even if there were, it would only be a feature of more difficult levels in the future, and at most, it would involve some puzzle-solving elements. If this easy-level instance could scare me, I’d stream myself hugging a Wudang Box Fan on the spot..."

Jiu’er: "Please, spare the box fan..."

Yi Yi: "Please, spare Wudang..."

The Wandering Child: "Just go in and play around, and you’ll know."

Fang Jiuchai: "I kind of want to skip it..."

The Wandering Child: "You can try pressing ESC, or hold the circle button."

Fang Jiuchai: "Damn it, I’m going to kill you!"

Lin Yiyi almost couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She quickly looked up to see that Annan was still seriously explaining the setting with a grave and stern expression.

She swiftly took a photo of Annan and added a caption below.

—I have to think of a way to kill these bastards.jpg

Then she uploaded the freshly made meme.

Just then, Lin Yiyi was the first to notice that there was a new post on the forum.

It was posted by Jiu’er.

"[Plot Discussion] I always feel like we’re not actually needed for this mission...

"In the disaster of Roth Fort, what exactly did we do? Wasn’t I supposed to protect the young master? How come I only took a bullet and then had nothing else to do?"

Lin Yiyi quickly snatched the second-floor post:

"To be honest, yeah. You really weren’t much use."

The Wandering Child: "I think, perhaps taking the bullet was your mission..."

Yi Yi: "It’s just that Mr. Tan Juan is braver. Otherwise, I think you might have had to take quite a few bullets... like getting shot and going ’Ah, I’m dead,’ then thump and fall to the ground. When the second bullet is fired, you suddenly jump back up, take another hit, and then ’Ah, I’m dead again’~"

Jiu’er: "Shut up! Think about whose food you’re eating and whose bed you’re sleeping in first!"

The Wandering Child: "Hm? No, Sister Gangzi, let’s talk about this in detail..."

Zixiuqiu: "Brothers, if you’re going to talk about this, I’m not going to feel sleepy at all?"

Delicious Goose: "Actually, it was quite useful. The main thing is that Kiddy God suddenly aggroing really made a big contribution. If it weren’t for him aggroing early, we might have needed to go through the manor first, wait until after the Viscount kicked the bucket to then find clues, and eventually locate Gerald. Then it would have been a tough boss battle..."

The Wandering Child: "No, Old Goose, you’re really an honest goose..."

Delicious Goose: "I wasn’t done typing yet!"

Annan changed the mood of the lively chat when he suddenly deducted fifty favorability points from each of them.

[Tan Juan Geraint’s Favorability Level adjusted to Friendly (50/500)]

Why did they suddenly lose 50 points of favorability?

The players were shocked all at once.

A wave of "???" appeared in the forum, and everyone had a face of horror, like being caught by the head teacher playing with their phones during class.

"Now, let me tell you about the entrance to a nightmare."

After collecting the ’entrance fee,’ Annan took a deep breath and muttered, "I’m actually quite reluctant to tell you this...

"The way to enter the nightmare is to utter ’Bone Prince’ within the territory of Frostwater Harbor. You will then enter the nightmare and awaken when the sun rises the next day.

"However, the difficulty of this nightmare is very high. If you die in the nightmare, you will lose all memory, and the nightmare will reset. It is very easy to end up in an infinite death loop.

"So I suggest, after you rush back to Frostwater Harbor tonight, you can lie in your own bed and try entering the nightmare for the first time. That way, when the sun rises the following day, you will wake up..."

[50 points of favorability spent, obtained information regarding the nightmare ’Gallery’]

Only then did the players breathe a sigh of relief.

So that’s what it was... using favorability points to buy an entrance ticket!

But having had their favorability deducted, they didn’t feel too bad, thinking it was just part of the process.

Yet, they began to worry:

If they managed to clear this instance too quickly... would it become too boring afterwards?
