Transformed into a heartthrob's simp, every day is a battleground.

Chapter 168: Information on Previous Members

All eyes were on the box.

"Can it see?" Sun Yue asked uncertainly.

Yan Xun recalled their conversation.

He took out his glasses and said they were a tool that could see through the truth. Then they started talking about Lou Yanchuan's land deed. After discussing a bunch of system settings, they finally got back to the main topic.

Yan Xun said he looked at it once with his glasses.

Then he said he couldn't see it clearly.

The conversation didn't reveal who it was, and his gaze didn't even fall on the box, but the human-cat still knew he was looking at him.

This demonstrates that the human-cat inside the box possesses exceptional intelligence and agility, fully comprehending the players' coded messages and mutual hints.

Otherwise, the human and the cat shouldn't know that "the glasses are a prop".

Some of the other team members who didn't speak had the same thought as Yan Xun, while others were just lost in thought.

Su Yumin was the one who was spacing out.

"I thought this dungeon was all about fighting and killing." Su Yumin looked at the human-cat, not expecting it to be a pure puzzle-solving dungeon.

When Lou Yanchuan invited him before, he only said that the success rate of the dungeon was very low and he hoped that an expert could help him.

He was interested in this thrilling and exciting scenario, which is why he accepted Lou Yanchuan's invitation.

At this moment, he sat in his room and glanced listlessly at the live stream.

The comments section was filled with people shaking their heads and sighing, saying that asking an idiot to solve a dungeon was just making things difficult for them.

[I advise you to hurry up and find a powerful player to help you out. With your IQ, you'll be the first one to die in the dungeon. (shakes head)]

Let's check on your teammates... Hmm, bury them. I don't see anyone here who's close to you.

【Why don't you kneel down and beg Yan Xun? Maybe he'll take pity on you and let you cling to his coattails to get through this. You can then serve him like a slave and act as his henchman to repay his kindness.】

Su Yumin grew increasingly annoyed as he read the comments. He instructed the system to type his thoughts into the comments section.

"Am I that kind of reckless brute?"

【Yes. 】

"Don't forget, Lou Yanchuan still has items." He was referring, of course, to the items Lou Yanchuan had promised that could lead everyone out of the dungeon.

Are you really that stupid? That time-rewinding tool is for you to use like that?

[The idea behind the backtracking technique is that you can use items to get everyone out of there, but that's only true as a last resort. If you're already dead from the start, who cares about you?]

You'd better pray you don't die on the first day :)

[Fool's Hell (shakes head), in this dungeon, even if you wanted to kill other players to clear it, it would be impossible. Those guys aren't pushovers.]

Why don't you start selling hooks now and see who's willing to take pity on you?

[Speechless, I'm leaving. What's the point of this crappy livestream if we don't kill people?]

Su Yumin looked at the comments in the live stream.

His system was whispering to him that the person who had high hopes for him had returned to his live stream and that he should perform well.

Su Yumin was a little annoyed.

"How should I behave?" he asked the system. "Should I rush up and pull off the wings of those angels?"

As you know, that person enjoys excitement and violence.

If you can't attract Him, your live stream rating will drop, and He will invest less in you and give you less attention.

Su Yumin naturally understood this principle as well.

"Forget it." He knew the system wouldn't help him at all. "I'll figure it out myself."

Su Yumin stared blankly at the cardboard box, while Sun Yue and Gu Jia began to shower it with compliments.

This time, however, the favorability rating wasn't so easy to raise. After changing three different people, the favorability rating finally returned to 10.

At this point, there was less than half an hour left until midnight.

"It seems that this is indeed the only amount of favorability that can be gained in a day..."

Sun Zhao swallowed back what she was about to say, worried that the cardboard box would further damage their impression of her.

Lou Yanchuan looked at Yan Xun, "Shall we go outside and talk?"

"There are a few more things I'd like to ask you."

Yan Xun glanced at Lou Yanchuan, then followed him out of the room where the cardboard boxes were placed.

……

The two stopped in the room furthest from the cardboard box.

After entering the room and confirming that no one was there, Lou Yanchuan released a bubble to prevent others from eavesdropping—it seems that this is a prop that all members of the Retrospection Guild possess.

"What can this device prevent from eavesdropping on?" Yan Xun asked.

"The further away you are from most of the monsters in the dungeon, as well as some mysterious beings outside the dungeon, the better the effect."

Lou Yanchuan said.

Yan Xun understood his implication: the system, something that followed them around, could not be stopped by this prop.

After all, the items are products of the main system's shop.

Seeing that Yan Xun understood his hint, Lou Yanchuan asked again, "What do you think of this instance?"

“We can’t have come out unscathed,” Yan Xun said bluntly.

Lou Yanchuan adopted an expression that suggested he was eager to hear more.

"The instructions on the whiteboard..." Yan Xun leaned against the wall, looking at Lou Yanchuan, "We can't open the box, it will kill the human-cat."

"If we open the box, the cat will die, but if we don't open it, it might live."

"Schrödinger's cat?" Yan Xun asked. "The man with the mustache keeps emphasizing that after a successful adoption, the cat will grant any wish we have."

"After entering the instance, the instance did not give us any main quests or quest rewards."

Yan Xun never assumes anything good about these instances. "If we want to leave, there's only one way: after successfully adopting the cat, we can make a wish with the human."

Lou Yanchuan stood opposite Yan Xun and said, "Actually, we received news about that team member who left."

Yan Xun frowned. "Li Wu didn't say."

"He doesn't know."

Lou Yanchuan said.

"I only received one message..."

"We were all wrong. We shouldn't have opened the box."

Lou Yanchuan said to Yan Xun, "He left those words behind and then disappeared."

“He’s a veteran player, he shouldn’t make this kind of mistake,” Yan Xun said.

According to Li Wu, the last round of players who entered the dungeon were all elite players from the Retrospection Guild. The whiteboard clearly stated that opening the chest would cause the cat to die.

They couldn't possibly make such an obvious mistake.

"Has the content on the whiteboard been updated?" Yan Xun guessed.

“There’s another possibility,” Lou Yanchuan said.

Yan Xun looked at him, and the two exchanged a glance, both knowing the answer.

"This is what the human and the cat requested."

Yan Xun remembered the favorability rating that was stuck at 10.

The favorability gained later will definitely not be so easy. Since favorability has appeared in the dungeon, and with the mustache constantly emphasizing that the cat needs to feel loved.

The concrete manifestation of this is probably—

Grant all of the human-cat's requests.

"Troublesome," Yan Xun sighed.

He had a feeling that the cat's demands would become increasingly difficult.
