131: 131: Floating Life Pavilion. Acquaintances

Qian Ye did not want to waste any more time; she just wanted to check into a room with a large bed as quickly as possible.

Tai You also noticed that the big shot seemed a bit impatient, so he quickly got straight to the point.

"Then let us go handle the paperwork now."

As soon as these words were spoken, Qian Ye's expression softened slightly.

To the side, Jiu Jiang's inquisitive gaze swept over Qian Ye again and again.

On the other side, Meng Yu stared at Qian Ye without blinking, feeling endless admiration inside.

"Sob, sob, sob, as expected of a big shot, another first clear."

"And this time, she cleared two in a row."

"However... I'm curious, why didn't we see the big shot in the previous dungeon?"

They had returned suddenly back then, which was quite unexpected.

They had tried to contact the big shot before, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to reach her at all.

It wasn't until they went to the newbie village that they discovered the big shot hadn't returned.

This had been weighing on their minds ever since.

Could it be that she did it to save them? Could it be... They dared not speculate further on anything too dangerous.

They never thought that after so long, the big shot would actually take the initiative to contact them.

"Big shot, how did you clear two dungeons in a row?" Driven by curiosity, Tai You finally asked this question.

"Hmm?"

"You aren't?" Seeing their strange expressions, Qian Ye curled the corners of her mouth. It seemed different?

Tai You then told her about their experiences in detail, one by one.

Qian Ye narrowed her eyes slightly. They actually practiced differential treatment? Thumbs down.

"May I ask if there is a complaint channel here?"

Qian Ye ground her teeth, puffing up like a pufferfish in anger. How could playing a game involve such special treatment?

Seeing that Qian Ye's expression was off, Tai You didn't say anything more.

"Big shot, we've arrived."

"This is our Qin family foundation."

"Hehe, big shot, could I discuss something with you~" Tai You smiled with a sycophantic expression.

"Look at the room first."

Qian Ye's words were like a basin of cold water, dousing Tai You's face.

"Oh, right, okay."

Tai You was completely deflated. Sigh, better just handle the room for the big shot first; he only had his heart set on the house right now.

The paperwork wasn't troublesome. The moment Qian Ye received the property deed, her expression softened, and she looked at Tai You and the others with a much gentler expression.

At this moment, Tai You popped up again with a chuckle.

"Hehehe, big shot, are you hungry now? In the game, you saved Meng Yu and me several times, so we really must treat you to a meal to express our gratitude."

Tai You flashed a bright smile and then continued to introduce the surrounding environment.

It was all part of their Tai family enterprise, guaranteeing that Qian Ye would be well-fed and well-cared for.

Qian Ye raised an eyebrow, looking at Tai You with some surprise. She hadn't expected him to have such deep pockets.

"Sure."

Speaking of food, it had been a long time since Qian Ye had experienced good cuisine.

This reminder made Qian Ye's taste buds clamor for attention.

Seeing that Qian Ye agreed, Meng Yu gave Tai You a thumbs up. You really have a way with things.

Along the way, the big shot had maintained an attitude of "don't bother me," making it difficult for them to get close.

Now, they could at least have a proper chat over a meal.

During the meal, Qian Ye looked at the three people opposite her, all of whom seemed to have something to say but were hesitating.

After finishing her meal in peace, Qian Ye finally looked at them.

"What is it? What do you want to say?"

Tai You chuckled. "I knew the big shot would give us a chance."

"Hehe, big shot, I don't know if you've heard the rumors about this game."

"Rumors? Oh? What kind of rumors?"

Tai You took a deep breath, looked at the surroundings, and then took something out from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"This is a Sound-Insulating Bead; it can block out sounds within a one-meter radius."

"I want to ensure that our conversation won't be overheard."

Qian Ye raised an eyebrow, watching his serious, upright posture, and she also straightened up.

With everything ready, Tai You began to speak slowly.

"Rumor has it that this place is actually a tower! Known as the Floating Life Pagoda, it is said to suppress countless Vicious Ghosts here, and we are nothing but fodder for these Vicious Ghosts."

Qian Ye listened and cast a somewhat surprised glance at Tai You.

Then Tai You continued, "This so-called game of ours is nothing more than an endless slaughter; we exist only as nutrients."

"Even if we pass one stage, perhaps in the next, we will be left behind forever."

"This rumor gradually spread from the Floating Life Pavilion, with the goal of hoping to awaken everyone's consciousness."

"To find the real answer."

After all, this was just a rumor, and they couldn't be sure if it was true or false; they could only continue to explore.

"So..." "In order to explore the truth, we created a team."

"It is filled with humans who have more or less doubts and confusion about this place, hoping that one day, we can find the real answer..."

"To be able to... leave this place."

Qian Ye nodded after listening. She hadn't expected that there wouldn't just be numb humans here; it turned out there were also positive, proactive humans.

"You... you all... how did you come up with this idea?" Qian Ye was a bit curious.

Who exactly was the first to propose this?

When Qian Ye asked this, they were a bit confused. That's right, when was it?

When did such a rumor suddenly appear?

Why couldn't they remember?

The three of them looked at each other, confirming that there was no memory of it in their minds.

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Qian Ye did not continue to ask.

This answer was just a matter of time.

No rush.

Seeing Qian Ye signal him to continue, Tai You took a deep breath and then stated his main purpose.

"We hope the big shot can join us."

"You are very strong!" "We need you."

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already night.

Qian Ye was staying in her new house, lying on the large bed, looking at the ceiling, and sighing.

"Why did I agree to him... to them?"

Even on her own, she could slowly unravel the mystery.

"Sigh, perhaps I couldn't resist those innocent, naive eyes of theirs," Qian Ye couldn't help but sigh.

She walked to the window. The thing Qian Ye was most satisfied with here was that she could clearly see the scenery outside from here.

The huge floor-to-ceiling window allowed for an unobstructed view of the scenery outside.

"There are even stars." Qian Ye raised her hand, circling the stars in her palm.

"It really looks like a peaceful and tranquil world," Qian Ye murmured to herself, looking at the starry sky.

"What a pity..." It was all an illusion.

Apart from humans, there was not a trace of any other living creature here. It was like a dead city.

After daydreaming by the window for a long time, Qian Ye finally returned. Lying on the large bed, Qian Ye buried herself in the quilt.

"Mmm, what a long-lost feeling."

"Rest early, get a good sleep; it's been a long time since I've had a proper sleep."

Qian Ye stretched, slowly closing her eyes. With enough sleep, she would be more energetic when she entered the game again.

With a smile, Qian Ye slowly closed her eyes.

——

"Hey, hey, don't push, everyone please board the vehicle in an orderly fashion."

"Keep an eye on your tickets."

"Without a ticket, you won't be able to get off, oh~"

Qian Ye was still closing her eyes when she heard the words coming from beside her. She sighed softly, sigh, it had entered the game so quickly.
