Yin Xiu remained silent, then turned to look at the rooms in the corridor that had been gnawed to pieces, with only a few pieces of plaster left on the walls. It was clear that this floor was the Gluttony Zone.
But for Li Mo to utter a simple "I'm hungry" seemed rather childish.
"Just hungry? Not going to eat anything special?" Yin Xiu simply couldn't believe that rage would incite players to lose control and kill; gluttony was just about getting hungry.
An eye appeared on the back of Yin Xiu's hand, staring at him. "What else would you like to eat?"
Yin Xiu pondered, following the logic of the dungeon, "So, the side effect of your gluttony is that I can't control myself from eating people, right?"
There was a moment of silence on the back of his hand, followed by Li Mo's serious voice, "Humans can't eat each other. You're a human, how can you think about eating people? I haven't even told you to eat people, and you're still thinking about eating people yourself."
Yin Xiu felt that this was how a normal instance should be set up, except that Li Mo was special and not bound by the instance, so he had almost no side effects on Yin Xiu.
"Hmm... okay." Yin Xiu paused slightly, his voice sounding somewhat disappointed.
Li Mo stared at him without saying a word.
Then Yin Xiu continued, "If we don't eat people, how about eating monsters? What do you think?"
Li Mo responded politely, "Two won't be enough."
He wants to eat, and Yin Xiu wants to eat too. There are only so many monsters in the dungeon, wouldn't they end up fighting?
"Oh." Yin Xiu's voice still sounded incredibly disappointed.
He turned his gaze away from the window, no longer paying attention to Ye Tianxuan. Anyway, Ye Tianxuan was doing well, so he turned around and continued walking, preparing to quickly find his knife.
Li Mo floated on the back of Yin Xiu's hand, staring at him. After a while, he casually uttered, "Although I am not human, I am familiar with the actions that humans should take, and I will not allow you to do too many inhuman things."
Perhaps Li Mo was trying to tell him that he wouldn't add any unnecessary side effects to Yin Xiu, but Yin Xiu felt that Li Mo was implying that he wasn't human.
"I know," Yin Xiu muttered, glossing over the matter. He never imagined he'd be taught a lesson by a non-human creature.
The floors have just been shuffled and replaced. Yin Xiu walks forward a bit, opens the next door in the corridor, and leaves the area of Gluttony, randomly entering another floor.
This time, they were very lucky. As soon as the door opened, there was a staircase behind it. The floor would be displayed if they could go up or down the stairs, which was very advantageous for Yin Xiu.
He first tried going down the stairs and entered the floor marked 4.
In a short corridor at the bottom of the stairs, several people were lying haphazardly on the floor, all limp and without any strength.
Among them were players and NPCs in strange disguises. They yawned and leaned against the wall, showing no reaction whatsoever to Yin Xiu's appearance. They didn't even bother to glance at him. On the contrary, a stall owner at the top of the stairs was staring at Yin Xiu with a smile.
"Young man, would you like your fortune told?"
Yin Xiu glanced at it indifferently. Does this dungeon even offer this kind of service?
The stall owner, who was completely covered up from head to toe, met Yin Xiu's eyes and immediately said in a soft voice with a smile, "Knowing the future in advance can prevent some troublesome things. Knowing that your life is hard is not as good as giving up early. It is also a kind of liberation for your life."
Yin Xiu stepped over the people lying haphazardly on the ground and prepared to go downstairs when the stall owner suddenly added, "If you don't want divination, you can also buy information. I can tell you any information you want about the copy."
Yin Xiu paused, then turned back and sat down properly in front of the stall. "I want to know if the fifth floor is up or down?"
The stall owner smiled and said, "Since you look good, I'll give you a discount. The first message will only cost you three hundred."
Yin Xiu remained silent. His assets in the game were exactly 330. If he agreed, he would only have 31 left.
However, finding the knife is the priority right now. If we delay any longer, the floors will be rearranged again, making it even more difficult to find it.
Yin Xiu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Three hundred it is."
The stall owner smiled and pulled out a card from the stack of cards in front of him, then said casually, "What you're looking for is on the fifth floor, the Greed Zone. Just go down from your current floor."
"So close?" Yin Xiu turned to look at the stairwell next to him; he had just been about to go down to take a look.
"Yes, it's that close. Sometimes fate brings us together like that." The stall owner smiled meaningfully. "Is there anything else you want to ask? I can set the price based on your questions, and sometimes it's even unexpectedly cheap."
Yin Xiu thought that since he was thirty-one, it wouldn't hurt to ask, so he raised the double handcuffs on his hands and asked, "How do I unlock the white one?"
The stall owner leaned closer to Yin Xiu's hand, his sharp gaze sweeping across Yin Xiu's face. His voice, hidden beneath his robe, became meaningful, the laughter gone, "How did you get these handcuffs?"
"Don't ask." Yin Xiuliang stared at him intently. "Can you answer?"
"Yes, why not?" The stall owner snorted and held out his hand to Yin Xiu. "One million will suffice."
One million for one message; the monsters in this instance are even more ruthless than bandits.
Yin Xiu stared at the stall owner, who also stared back coldly. Clearly, the stall owner's attitude hadn't been very good since he saw the white handcuffs, probably because it was something that all the monsters in the dungeon knew about.
Yin Xiu didn't linger any longer. He stood up instantly and politely pushed the chair back. "Wait a minute, I'll come find you later."
The stall owner said coldly, "Your assets in the game are only thirty-one. Are you sure you'll have a million when you come back?"
Yin Xiu's lips curled slightly as he stood at the top of the stairs, staring at the stall owner with a sinister look. "I might not have a million right now, but I'll have something else to make you ask for it. It won't cost a million."
The stall owner shuddered for no apparent reason, and Yin Xiu turned and went to the fifth floor.
When someone tries to rob him like a bandit, he has to take it back and show them who the real bandit is. But now he has to get his weapons back first before he can be the bandit.
"Um...why don't you wait a bit...I...I'll give you a discount?" The stall owner stood at the top of the stairs, somewhat guilty, trying to persuade Yin Xiu to stay, but the man went down the stairs and left without looking back.
"I've messed with the white handcuffs... Am I alright?" The stall owner stammered, but anyone wearing white handcuffs was treated as a serious criminal. They were not allowed to sell information or props, and were even to be attacked immediately on sight. These were all rules set by the warden, and there was no way to disobey them.
"Sigh...maybe I should set up my stall somewhere else. It's only four or five floors away, they'll have to come back to me soon." The stall owner muttered as he hurriedly turned around, wanting to go back and pack up his stall.
Turning around, he saw a man in a black suit, exuding an eerie aura, sitting upright in his chair, smiling and staring at him. "One million?"
