Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1213. The Book at Night (1)

No one else had an opinion.

A group of people entered the supermarket through the entrance, and after walking only a few steps, they heard Huang Jingjing's joyful voice.

"Xiaoqin!"

"Hi!" Xiao Qin waved to them. "Hello!"

"Hello," Lin Xi smiled at Xiao Qin. "Crossing the region again!"

"Are you also from another region?" Bai Yueming asked.

“Yes, I’m from District 4,” Xiao Qin said with a smile.

"Hello, I'm from Zone Two," Bai Yueming said.

"Hello, I'm from District Nine." Bai waved to Xiao Qin.

Wow, so many cross-regional connections.

—Not many, only 200 people in total, and only a few are from other regions.

—Some groups of thousands of people cannot see players from other regions.

—It seems there's another one that's in another region, but it's in region one.

—1, 2, 3, and 4 are all gathered together!

—And Xiaobai, from District 9.

Are there Chinese players only in these five regions?
—Yes, zones 1, 2, 3, and 4 are ours, and zone 9 is a mixed zone.

—That makes the dungeon quite complete.

—They only have three districts: 1, 2, and 3.

—What's the name of that guy in Zone 1?

—I don't know, all I know is that the nickname is "Sunrise in the West".

—It means the sun rises in the west!

—It should be, hahahahahahaha.

—That player is quite interesting.

—Go look, he's handsome too!
Yes, not stunningly handsome, but definitely quite handsome. He's tall with long legs.

Lin Xi was talking to Xiao Qin and wasn't looking at the live stream, but she heard Bai Yueming say something.

"There are quite a few people in this instance, two hundred in total!"

"I don't know what to do," Bai said softly.

"I just checked the sun, and it should be afternoon right now," Lin Xi said.

"Hopefully it's not a dungeon we'll be able to clear at night; I'm actually quite sleepy," Bai Yueming said.

"Quickly, spit it out!" Lin Xi glared at Bai Yueming.

Everyone was amused by Lin Xi.

——Hahahahahahahahaha.

——123: Pshaw, nighttime is for sleeping.

—If the game is really completed at night, 123 will hate vegetables to death.

—If I really finish the game at night, I'll hate this lousy game to death.

Where are the other players?
—At the supermarket!

—No way, two hundred people are in the supermarket?

—It could also be in different supermarkets.

—I checked, some are in small convenience stores.

So, this is a copy related to a supermarket or convenience store?
"Welcome to Amazing Park! Today's theme is 'The Book at Night.' Please find the key to the library before nightfall. Players who fail to enter the library at night will be eliminated." A cold, electronic voice announced.

Lin Xi had just finished complaining about Bai Yueming's line "clear the game tonight" when he was hit by an electronic voice.

She immediately glared at Bai Yueming.

"I told you not to talk nonsense!"

Bai Yueming laughed: "It's not my fault, the theme of the instance has the word 'night' in it."

—Damn, this supermarket is pretty big, it must be hard to find!
—Exactly! —Does everyone have to find their own key, or can everyone use one key?
—It wasn't mentioned, but it's probably possible for everyone to use one key to enter the library!
—Excuse me, where is the library?

—Nobody seems to have noticed that this dungeon was actually cleared at night!
—Damn it, vegetables are such a jinx.

—Even putting aside the vegetables, I'll probably finish the game tonight. But I have no problem with the fact that vegetables are a jinx.

Xiao Qin had already walked to the shelf next to her, her fingertips brushing against a row of bottled water.

"The supermarket is so big, where would they hide the key?"

Bai also squatted down, his gaze sweeping over the gaps at the bottom of the shelf.

"Could it be related to 'books'? The theme is 'books at night,' so maybe the key is hidden in something that looks like a book?"

Huang Jingjing's eyes lit up, and she turned and walked towards the stationery section.

“That makes sense! Notebooks, hardcover photo albums... they all look like books.”

There was a growing commotion in the supermarket as players scattered throughout began searching around.

The creaking of shelves being pulled open and the rustling of plastic packaging mingled together, and the sweet aroma of bread nearing its expiration date wafted through the air, but no one paid any attention.

"Over here!" Bai Yueming suddenly called out from the snack section. He was holding a square tin box with a thick dictionary pattern printed on the packaging.

"Look at this..."

The moment the box was opened, a flash of silver light appeared. The key lay at the bottom of the box, shaped like a curled page of a book, with fine lines engraved along its edges, resembling some kind of ancient script.

"found it?"

Quan Quan was right next to Bai Yueming, and quickly walked a few steps toward Bai Yueming.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of someone standing behind a shelf not far away.

He was very tall, wearing a simple white T-shirt, and looking down at a bag of cookies in his hand. His profile looked very clean under the supermarket's overhead lights.

Wow, what a handsome guy from District 1!

—He's pretty handsome!

—He's also very tall, he must be over 185cm!
—No one is completely handsome!

—Not as handsome as Xiao Bai!

—It's comparable to the current image of handsome young Xin Xin.

—I suddenly miss the days when Xin Xin was a handsome little boy and a beautiful girl.

Bai Yueming also saw the tall, handsome man and smiled at him.

"Hello."

"Hello, my name is Ouyang Xichen." The handsome guy smiled, giving people a very warm feeling.

"The sun rises in the west?" Quan Quan asked.

His viewers in his live stream were also talking about a player in the first server, which he happened to see.

"Correct."

"Your nickname and name are a little off!" Bai Yueming's smile was somewhat irritating as he casually tossed the tin box to Quan Quan. "The sun rises in the west, how come it's setting again?"

These words sounded a bit like he was looking for trouble, but Ouyang Xichen wasn't angry. He still smiled gently and offered an explanation.

"The 'chen' in 'dawn'."

"Looks like we don't need to split up to search anymore." Quan Quan opened the box, looked at it, and put the metal box back into his backpack. "Now we need to figure out where the library is."

Xiaoqin pointed towards the back door of the supermarket.

"I think I saw a road sign when I came in. There's a building with a red roof three blocks to the west. Maybe that's it."

Bai glanced out the window; the setting sun was slowly sinking behind the building, and the blue of the sky was beginning to darken.

"We need to hurry, we have to get there before dark, right?"

"Where's Mumu?" Huang Jingjing asked, looking around. "She was just here a moment ago, where did she go?"

Lin Xi was not far away, not in a hurry to look for the keys, but was looking at a store clerk in the supermarket.

The shop assistant, dressed in a supermarket uniform, was answering a phone call.

"What? Another rent increase?" The shop assistant looked worried. "Auntie, can you please not raise it? You know, my monthly salary isn't high to begin with, and I also have to pay for my mother's medical treatment..."

After the other party said something, the shop assistant sighed softly and hung up the phone.

"Hello," Lin Xi smiled at the shop assistant. "Are you the only one working at your supermarket right now?"
