Chapter 84: Chapter 83: Instance Time is Here! [Seeking Monthly Tickets! Seeking Subscriptions!]
“Sure, Captain.”
Liu and Tang responded before proceeding toward Long Meijuan and the others.
“Don't worry, they will explain things to you clearly, and I'll be right here,” Mu Rufeng said, noticing Long Meijuan and the others looking nervous and quickly reassuring them.
Mu Rufeng closed the front door and then stood at the entrance explaining the situation to Captain Mo.
He occasionally glanced over, offering a comforting look to everyone.
To be honest, Mu Rufeng never expected that merely gathering with friends and celebrating a birthday could lead to such an incident.
“Ah, instances used to be rare, and we could control them.”
“Now the frequency of instances has increased significantly and has become somewhat uncontrollable. This confidentiality agreement alone, we've signed hundreds of them this month,” Captain Mo sighed after hearing Mu Rufeng's words.
“Captain Mo, do you think the country will release any new policies?” Mu Rufeng asked.
“Hard to say, but I think they probably will. This isn't something for us small fries to worry about, we'll leave it to the higher-ups to decide.”
“We people can be reincarnated anytime.” Captain Mo said.
Mu Rufeng agreed from the side.
To be honest, Mu Rufeng's mindset was entirely different from that of other contractors.
He had no choice, he had a cheat.
If he didn't have the cheat, forget mindset, Mu Rufeng felt he wouldn't have made it through the first instance.
“Captain, they've already signed the confidentiality agreement,” Liu and another person approached, holding several contracts.
“Well, Mu Rufeng, you should take your friends and leave now. We need to temporarily seal off this place,” Captain Mo said.
To monitor the status of new players in real time, once the location and identity of those who enter instances are confirmed, there are usually staff members waiting.
“Sure.” Mu Rufeng knew all this and nodded in agreement.
Immediately, he approached Long Meijuan and the rest.
Since Liu and the others had already explained things, there was no need for Mu Rufeng to repeat.
They all left together.
“By the way, Brother Feng, tell your colleagues not to waste that pot of crayfish, let them have it,” Long Meijuan suddenly said before the elevator.
Their feelings were quite mixed at the moment, feeling hungry but really not in the mood to eat.
And that big pot of crayfish, to be honest, it would be a waste not to eat it.
“Okay, you guys wait, I'll go and tell them.”
Mu Rufeng immediately went back.
Just as Mu Rufeng was about to knock, coincidentally, the door opened.
It was Captain Mo.
“Hey, something else you need? Good thing, I saw that you had prepared that big plate of crayfish, it would be too wasteful not to eat it, so I wanted to ask if we could have some?”
Captain Mo was originally planning to call, but since he thought Mu Rufeng had just left and might still be waiting for the elevator, he went out to ask personally.
“Coincidentally, my friend said the same, that it would be wasteful not to eat that pot of crayfish, so here I am, asking you guys to finish it,” Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
“That's great then, I won't be polite.”
“Make sure you eat all of it, oh, and if you don't eat the cake, could you put it in the fridge for me, please?” Mu Rufeng said.
“Don't worry, leave it to me,” Captain Mo replied, patting his chest with a laugh.
“The elevator's here, not gonna talk anymore, Captain Mo, if the person comes out, let me know immediately,” Mu Rufeng said.
“Sure, go ahead,” Captain Mo nodded.
…
Inside the elevator.
Everyone stood silently, the atmosphere somewhat somber.
Mu Rufeng didn't know what to say.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Mu Rufeng finally spoke, “Sister-in-law, how about you go and stay at Huang Mei's place tonight?”
Although Huang Mei was Lin Fuding's girlfriend, they hadn't moved in together and she lived alone.
The two were pretty good friends, staying for a night shouldn't be a problem.
“Sure, I could use someone to talk to tonight,” Huang Mei nodded repeatedly.
“Okay,” Long Meijuan replied with a smile.
Though she was smiling, Mu Rufeng could tell her smile was somewhat forced.
Clearly, Long Meijuan was still very worried about Li Yaocun.
Soon, everyone dispersed, each going their own way.
Surprisingly, no one came to question Mu Rufeng for more information.
Obviously, they all knew these were not their matters to probe.
However, just before leaving, Zou Qiang came up, putting an arm around Mu Rufeng's shoulders, whispering, “Bro, once you make it big, don't forget about me.”
“Back in college, when you were broke from spending all your money on games, it was I who begged my dad for food money to help you.”
Hearing this, Mu Rufeng felt both amused and moved, then responded, “Don't worry, I definitely won't forget you.”
Hearing Mu Rufeng's words, Zou Qiang left satisfied.
Watching the departing group, Mu Rufeng, feeling his stomach rumbling, looked contemplative.
Immediately, he turned around, headed back, and took the elevator straight to room 601.
He still felt uneasy and decided to just wait there for Li Yaocun to show up.
Meanwhile, he could enjoy some spicy crayfish to fill his stomach.
“Ding-dong! Ding-dong!” Mu Rufeng rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door opened, and it was Xiao Liu.
After Mu Rufeng entered the room, he saw Lao Hei sitting at the table,
At that moment, Lao Hei was eating with greasy hands, wearing disposable gloves covered in oil stains, and continuously chewing his food.
“Haha, you lad, I knew you would come back,” Lao Hei burst into laughter upon seeing Mu Rufeng.
“I was just worried about my friend, so I waited here for him today,” said Mu Rufeng.
“Understood, I get it, come on, have some with us. There's too much for three of us, but with you, it should be just right,” Lao Hei hastily invited Mu Rufeng to sit down.
Lao Hei's demeanor made it seem as though he was the host here.
Mu Rufeng glanced at the drinks he had brought, some of which had already been consumed.
He immediately grabbed a pair of disposable gloves and started devouring a large lobster.
In a blink, three days passed, and it was July 24th.
Three days had passed since Li Yaocun entered the instance.
Still, there was no sign of Li Yaocun's return.
Neither a body nor any intermediary object was seen.
Since Saturday and Sunday were weekends, Mu Rufeng stayed in Li Yaocun's rented apartment without leaving.
As for today, after finishing work and training, Mu Rufeng took a shower in the training ground's bathroom, changed clothes, and went to a room on the fourth underground level.
The room was completely enclosed, with just a small ventilation hole, and aside from a chair, there was nothing else in it.
On the fourth underground level, there were several areas, and in Mu Rufeng's area, there were more than ten rooms.
They were all prepared for division players to enter instances.
This was also to avoid panic in the outside world should players die and their bodies appear.
As for the media on their bodies, sorry, unless it is the first time entering the instance, if the media's owner dies, the media vanishes.
Today, it was time for Mu Rufeng to enter his third instance.
Mu Rufeng learned from departmental records that the entry times were fixed to the same time as the first instance.
That is, the time you first entered is set, down to the second, for every seventh day thereafter.
Even if the schedule was disrupted due to special instances, once you entered an instance again, the timing would reset to that of the first entry.
Mu Rufeng couldn't quite remember what time he had originally entered the instance.
But he still roughly knew it was a little past seven.
Mu Rufeng took out his phone and checked the time; it was now six fifty.
Mu Rufeng checked all his items and inventory one by one.
Item Slot 1: Rule Type Item[Loving Singing Mouth]
Item Slot 2: Heaven and Earth Bank Platinum Card
Item Slot 3: Clown's Crazy Chainsaw
Wrapped around his body was a Bloodstained Bandage, with items carried inside it:
1,[Resentful Kitchen Knife]
2,[Flame Vehicle Card]
3,[Bloody Train Black Gold Member Card]
4,[Dormitory Lady's Secretly Made Candle X1](another given to Li Yaocun)
5,[Soul Fruit X1]
6,[Meat Fruit X1]
7,[Strength Fruit X1]
Three slots were really too few; he had many other things only wrapped in the bandage and carried on his body.
He also carried one of each type of fruit, just in case they could be useful, considering it a precaution.
As for the remaining twelve fruits, Mu Rufeng had stored them in the chiller compartment of his home refrigerator.
Then, Mu Rufeng quietly awaited the time to come.
Today was also the day Qu Lianhong and Cheng Youlin entered their instances.
Besides them, there were those new players who had survived the Scarlet Train last time.
However, Cheng Youlin had entered in the morning and, remarkably, returned successfully just five hours later, while Mu Rufeng was still at work.
Even though he suffered severe injuries, with even one arm torn off,
fortunately, Cheng Youlin managed to retrieve his own arm.
Due to the special nature of his Line Ghost, he used the threading to sew the arm back at the break, and it faintly began to heal.
With some medication and leveraging the Contractor's strong constitution, the arm could likely heal completely.
As for those new players, they entered at dawn, and well, the death toll was severe—only about thirty percent managed to return alive.
The time reached 7:13 PM.
Mu Rufeng suddenly looked down at the black umbrella mark on his left arm.
The black umbrella seemed to come alive, with tendrils of black mist spreading and generating some heat.
Mu Rufeng knew this meant it was time to enter the instance.
“Mu Rufeng, I just got word from Lao Hei, your friend Li Yaocun has safely returned from the instance and has joined under Lao Hei's command,”
It was then that Zhou Wen's voice came through the speaker embedded in the upper right corner of the room.
