Chapter 384: Original Text: Chapter 279 Onion? Knight?

Automatic archiving is the greatest invention in this world.

When Tami and Elsa finally made it through countless dangers and slipped into the Sain Ancient City, they were warmly welcomed once again and greeted with a GG.

Then they were astonished to find that upon resurrection, they were right at the city gate!

At that moment, Tami was so moved he was on the verge of tears, even developing a feeling of gratitude towards the place.

What is this, Stockholm syndrome?

He was already subconsciously pua-ing himself, including thoughts like "the traps in Sain Ancient City are designed so well," "I can’t get through simply because I’m not trying hard enough," and "Once I clear this quest, I’ll feel immense satisfaction," and so on.

No way, in the Underworld Dungeon, you always have to think of something relaxing to relieve the pressure.

Before clearing the Sain System area: This is a disgusting map designed purely to be difficult for the sake of satisfying the designers’ sadistic tastes, completely disregarding the adventurers’ feelings!

After clearing the Sain System area: This is another meticulously crafted masterpiece by Sain, from which I felt a spirit of perseverance and indomitable will!

"Keep going, I can feel it, the dawn of victory is just ahead!"

Tami cheered himself on, as well as Elsa.

However, the challenge difficulty rose sharply once they entered the interior of the Ancient City buildings. The original traps and mechanisms were still there, but several new elements were added that could even make people laugh.

For instance, falling ceilings, Snake-men throwing grenades from both sides of the road, and banana peels ambushed midway.

Moreover, the path ahead for the two was narrowing. They used to be able to roll around on the ground, but now it barely fits one person, with the slightest misstep leading to a fall.

An interesting mechanism appeared.

Traps that would cause damage but not death began to appear on the road, and when hit by such traps... the other person’s path would narrow!

Conversely, if they successfully dodged a trap, the other person’s path would widen a bit.

This required them both to always consider each other, as any minor mistake would not only hurt themselves but could also turn their companion’s smooth road into a tightrope walk.

Tami gave it his full attention but still inevitably made mistakes, apologizing so much his mouth went numb.

When would this torturous time end?

If he could write a suggestion, he would definitely write a big "Terrible" character, along with [I really want to leave, ah, I really want to leave]

The giant swinging hammer, the iron balls, the blades... all kinds of mechanisms made Tami almost numb, and he couldn’t help but wonder if new things would keep appearing?

Just as he was thinking that, new stuff appeared. He saw a plump, white... onion? sitting on the road ahead.

No, no, that was someone in what looked like onion-shaped Armor, sitting there dozing off!

When Tami spotted this person who seemed to sleep anywhere, he was accelerating through a field of swinging blades and had no time to stop!

"Whoa!"

"Ah——"

The two collided, both letting out a scream. However, unlike Tami who fell off the edge, the Onion Knight staggered a bit but stayed securely in place.

"What the heck is going on!"

Death, resurrection, start over.

[Jack Mayer from Catalina apologizes for causing your fall; here is a token of his apology]

[Received Tiny Life Ring]

"What is this..."

Tami really wanted to complain about why someone would wear such a bizarrely designed Armor. That onion-like Armor wasn’t ugly, it was even a bit cute, but he just couldn’t accept it.

But clearly, I was the one who bumped into him, yet he apologized to me... seems like a good guy.

Once more, they navigated through the traps and approached that place, finding the Onion Knight named Jack Mayer standing there. As soon as he saw Tami approaching, he eagerly came forward, moving in an uncanny sliding manner.

"I am Jack Mayer from Catalina. Wahaha, it’s been so long since I’ve seen anyone else. Let’s travel together!"

"You see, those iron balls just keep rolling, and I’m so chubby, I can’t react in time. Hope you can give me some tips at crucial moments."

Mystery voice-over: [Jack Mayer from Catalina has joined the team. Help him navigate the obstacles by giving him tips to earn his gratitude]

Tami never thought he’d encounter a residual shadow event in such a bizarre Painting World, and even Elsa showed a surprised expression beside him.

Alright, I’ll take on this quest!

Then he found that this quest was not easy at all; in a way, it was quite challenging.

When encountering traps and mechanisms, he not only had to react in advance himself but also organize his words to guide Jack Mayer to do the same.

It was difficult, as he couldn’t even guarantee his own passage through the traps, let alone guiding the bumbling Onion Knight.

However, whenever Jack Mayer made a mistake, he would quickly apologize. Even when Tami messed up, he wouldn’t criticize him but instead would cheer him up, making the atmosphere better thanks to his presence. Gradually, Tami began to like this chubby character.

"Slow down ahead, slow down! Oh no, we were a step too late!"

Failure, restart.

When they met again, Tami and Jack Mayer both bowed their heads and apologized at the same time:
