I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats

Chapter 120: Chapter 110 Li Yaocun’s Instance Experience [Vote for Monthly Pass!]

“I’m not hurt, what happened? And why are you actually waiting here for me?” Mu Rufeng asked.

You should know that the third and fourth underground layers are not open to the public.

Aside from Contractors, reserve players like Zhao Dayong simply don’t have the access to come here.

“Something big happened,” Zhao Dayong’s voice seemed extremely heavy.

“What big thing? Where are Captain Zhou and the others?” Mu Rufeng’s face also turned grave.

“There’s no time to waste, we’ll talk as we walk.” Zhao Dayong said and then hung up the broadcast.

Mu Rufeng, upon hearing this, didn’t think too much and immediately checked his condition and inspected his items.

Now, with three additional slots in his item slot, carrying things had become much more convenient for Mu Rufeng.

After some thought, he placed the Pig Slaughter Blade, Heaven and Earth Bank Card, clown’s chainsaw, Loving Singing Mouth, and two share contracts into his item slot.

The rest of the items were rather small and could fit into his bandage without causing much inconvenience.

Mu Rufeng got up from the bed and took big steps towards the door.

Unlocking it and giving it a gentle pull, he swung the heavy door wide open.

As Mu Rufeng stepped out, he saw Zhao Dayong, who for some reason was already standing outside the door.

“Dayong? What exactly happened?” Mu Rufeng asked Zhao Dayong as soon as he saw him.

Zhao Dayong didn’t speak, just looked at Mu Rufeng with a serious face.

However, this expression lasted for less than two seconds before ‘Zhao Dayong’ burst into laughter, “Haha, Brother Feng, didn’t recognize me, did you?”

“Uh? You are…”

This voice wasn’t Zhao Dayong’s, but it was still incredibly familiar to Mu Rufeng.

“Are you Li Yaocun? Brother Cun?” Mu Rufeng looked at ‘Zhao Dayong’ in disbelief.

“Hehe, how about it, did I impersonate him well?”

As ‘Zhao Dayong’ finished speaking, his figure began to change, eventually transforming into the more familiar Li Yaocun.

“Holy shit, it really is you, kid. What’s going on?” Mu Rufeng went up and punched Li Yaocun in the chest.

“It’s all thanks to an item, the one I was rewarded with after completing an instance,” Li Yaocun said with a chortle.

“So, you joined the Wan City Branch?”

“No, I didn’t, I joined the New Sand Branch. Today I just came with Captain Hei to take care of some things here. Since you just got back, I thought I’d have a little fun with you.”

Li Yaocun said as he showed his credentials.

“You little rascal, I almost believed you!” Mu Rufeng finally relaxed, glad that there wasn’t any trouble after all.

“By the way, what instance did you go through? You were in there for quite a while,” Mu Rufeng asked curiously.

Li Yaocun, upon hearing this, didn’t hide anything and straight away told Mu Rufeng about the instance he had experienced.

Li Yaocun had entered an instance called Horror Apartment.

This instance was a multiplayer one, involving ten participants.

People from all over participated, and strangely enough, they all shared the same birthday and each entered the instance holding a black candle.

Moreover, inside the apartment, there were many abnormal residents, among whom was concealed a serial killer.

The players were his prey.

There were two conditions for completing the instance. First, live in the Horror Apartment for five days, gaining twenty percent completion each day. After five days, you could complete the instance.

Second, find the serial killer within the Horror Apartment.

One only needed to discover the true identity of the serial killer; there was no need to confront him directly.

Of course, there were restrictions on identifying the killer’s identity.

You had to go to the apartment administrator to point out the killer.

The administrator was an invincible presence inside the apartment, able to easily subdue even the serial killer.

As long as the identification was successful, the administrator would use a mighty force to directly eliminate the serial killer.

There are no limits to making an identification, but if you identify wrong, you must pay a fine of one hundred soul coins.

As long as the fine was paid, there would be no consequence. But if you didn’t have the money for the fine, then I’m sorry, but you would be evicted from the Horror Apartment.

As for those who were evicted, the outcome goes without saying.

Initially, Li Yaocun had no idea how to find the serial killer, nor did he know about the identification process.

The killer had murdered two players on the first day and another two on the second day.

On the third day, he killed the fifth player, and Li Yaocun was to be the sixth.

However, Li Yaocun managed to avoid this fate by igniting the Dormitory Manager’s Secretly Made Candle given to him by Mu Rufeng at a critical moment.

When two of the players learned that Li Yaocun possessed an item that could repel the murderous maniac, they sought him out.

They wanted to bring him into their alliance.

Moreover, they informed him about the ability to recognize identities and said they had found many clues within these three days, narrowing the maniac’s identity down to five people.

Considering that the Horror Apartment housed dozens of abnormalities, narrowing it down to five people in just three days was quite impressive.

The two of them even proposed that the other two players try to identify two different abnormalities, allowing them to proceed by trial and error.

With only five remaining, one of them was bound to return successfully no matter what.

Had they not found the key clue today, the previous five would not have died in vain.

Upon realizing that identities could be recognized, Li Yaocun was utterly stunned.

He genuinely did not know it could be done this way.

During these three days, he had mostly stayed inside the apartment, which had enough supplies to last for five days.

He figured as long as he stayed inside and locked the door, he wouldn’t be murdered.

In fact, that’s what most players thought.

But now, two experts claimed they had found many clues to identify the culprit, and that a wrong accusation would incur only a fine of one hundred yuan.

Under the gaze of the two seasoned players, Li Yaocun quietly took out five hundred soul banknotes.

“If the maniac truly is among the five abnormalities you’ve pinpointed, then I think we might clear this,” Li Yaocun said.

And so, with just three fines, Li Yaocun successfully recognized the identity of the murderous maniac and cleared the level.

By successfully identifying the maniac on the third day, he achieved a three hundred percent clearance rate and received an item that allowed him to change his appearance and even his voice.

“You sure are a survivor, aren’t you? If you had known about identity recognition from day one, maybe you could’ve achieved an extremely high clearance rate,” Mu Rufeng said with a hint of regret.

At that time, Mu Rufeng had given the young man ten thousand soul coins, enough for Li Yaocun to make a hundred identifications.

In the apartment, as Li Yaocun said, with just dozens of residents, going through them one by one would be sufficient.

“This… I was scared, okay? If it weren’t for you this time, I would’ve been a goner. Thank you,” Li Yaocun sincerely thanked Mu Rufeng.

“It’s no problem; just glad you’re back safe and sound,” Mu Rufeng patted Li Yaocun’s shoulder.

“This money, I used three hundred, and after clearing it, I was rewarded three hundred. The ten thousand soul banknotes, returned in full!”

“Plus, this candle has only been burned by a third; it can still be used.”

Li Yaocun also realized how valuable soul banknotes truly were. It must’ve taken Mu Rufeng incredible efforts to finally obtain those ten thousand soul coins, and he even gave them all to him in one go.

At this moment, Li Yaocun was incredibly grateful to Mu Rufeng.

“You keep it. I’m not short on that,” Mu Rufeng said with a wave of his hand, refusing to take it back.

“But that’s not right. Soul banknotes are so precious; this must be all you had. I…” Li Yaocun persisted, trying to stuff the money back to Mu Rufeng.

“I said, just keep it. I have plenty of soul coins, and with that money, you’ll have a better chance of survival. Think not just for yourself, but also for your family, for your girlfriend,” Mu Rufeng insisted, shaking his head.

“This… alright then. I’ll definitely repay you in the future, and don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone else. I only said you gave me five hundred,” Li Yaocun said.

“Alright. I’m off. After a whole day of work, I’m exhausted. I’m going to eat and then head home to sleep,” Mu Rufeng said nonchalantly, then headed outside.

Usually, after returning, one had to write a report.

If it was an old instance, writing down any new rules would suffice. But for a new instance, writing a guide was necessary.

This time, it was a new instance. However, the pig farm was now Mu Rufeng’s territory, and he would certainly recruit new players.

Therefore, he needed to ‘consider’ how to write the strategy guide for this instance.

Of course, the most important thing now was to eat.

After slaughtering pigs all night and having battled with a pig-headed freak, of course he was starving.

“Okay. I was thinking of getting together with you tonight. How about tomorrow evening at my place? I’ll call Qiang Ge and the others,” Li Yaocun suggested.

“Tomorrow? Sure. But didn’t you move your house?” Mu Rufeng inquired.

He had learned from Li Yaocun that he had joined the New Sand Branch.

Like the Wan City District branch, they also allocated housing with completely identical welfare benefits.

“I’m not like you, just pick up a suitcase and off you go. My wife and I have lots of stuff.”

“Plus, I’ve only been back two days and there was a lot to sort out, so it got delayed, but I’ve got the keys to the allocated house,” Li Yaocun said cheerfully.

Honestly, as soon as he heard about the housing allocation and the welfare benefits, Li Yaocun had no intention of refusing.

After all, as a working stiff, he truly craved these benefits.

Even if he were to die in an instance in the future, he would receive compensation that could provide some care for his family.

Not to mention, he didn’t have any special advantages, unless you count Mu Rufeng as his golden ticket?
