Chapter 450 Reincarnated as the Silver Princess Baby, thank you, no more worries about food.

204.

When this number comes into view, no one can laugh.

"Palace Master..." Ariana sensed something was wrong and cautiously looked at the Palace Master of Silver City beside her.

Although the Labyrinthian civilization exists independently of the present world and has little understanding of many modern civilizations, the catastrophe of the "Divine Explosion," which was enough to restart human civilization, has long been engraved in the collective memory of all intelligent life.

That was taboo, a scar, a Damocles' sword hanging over everyone's head.

The joy of clearing the first level vanished completely.

The Palace Master of Silver City remained silent, but a shadow fell over his beautiful eyes.

"Go in," Li Guanqi said calmly, his voice low.

He took the first step and pushed open the door to the Shuoye Corridor.

The group followed closely behind, and as soon as they stepped inside, the light screen displaying the base's rules unfolded before them.

Rules for the Corridor at Night

1.————

2.————

3.————

4. Lucky children can proceed to the next stronghold.

5. The map for this event is a 1:1 recreation of the Dream Collapse Realm. Please be aware of the difference between the virtual and the real world.

The moment the rule was announced, everyone fell silent, as if a thousand alpacas were stampeding through the crowd.

"..."

"..."

Arias stared at the three strange horizontal lines, his brow furrowing: "What does this mean? The rules haven't been loaded?"

Ariana bluntly stated, "Cutting corners? The event organizers are being incredibly perfunctory!"

Meanwhile, across the entire Dream Collapse Realm.

All the teams that successfully entered the "second level" had different base environments, but they all saw these outrageous base rules.

In the icy wilderness, the Frozen Bishop stared at the identical light screen before him and looked at the Archbishop beside him.

In the ruins, Albus turned to look at Xia Sheng.

On the neon-lit street, Yu Chengbin blinked, looked at Tony with a completely bewildered expression, and asked, "What's this?"

Just as everyone was puzzled, Li Guanqi and the black-robed girl with the king's hand simultaneously realized something.

Both of them took half a step forward and simultaneously stretched out their hands, pointing their fingertips at the horizontal line of the first rule.

"Zi-"

A piercing electrical crackling sound rang out.

"It's a recording."

"It's a recording."

The two were thousands of miles apart, yet they spoke in unison.

Arias and Ariana exchanged a glance, their faces showing the same bewilderment.

recording?

Before they could ask any questions, after the noise subsided, a broken male voice, on the verge of madness, came from the light screen, accompanied by manic laughter.

"I don't know... I don't know anything... Hahaha..."

Next, there is a second horizontal line.

After the noise subsided, a desperate, tearful laugh rang out.

"Everyone is dead... In the blink of an eye, they're all gone..."

"I'm going to die too..."

Finally, there is the third horizontal line.

This time, his voice was hoarse and calm, barely a whisper, and every word conveyed sorrow and despair of self-abandonment.

"Where...is...the door...?"

After the three recordings finished playing, the screen returned to calm, leaving only the three blank horizontal lines.

A deathly silence permeated the corridor.

Ariana couldn't help but shiver, a chill running from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

Li Guanqi stood quietly, a chilling look in the depths of his eyes: "It looks like a recording from a survivor of the Divine Will Explosion."

"It's uncertain whether it's real or fabricated by the organizers."

“But I guess—” he looked up ahead, “that for this challenge, we might have to find that ‘non-existent’ door.”

The recording quickly spread to all the second-floor strongholds, and the question "Where exactly is the door?" sent a shiver down the spines of Xia Sheng, Edo, and Wang Shou.

This is something that hasn't been mentioned for a long time.

The debate over the cage has raged for centuries between the madmen of the doomsday faction and the cowards of the decadent faction.

Most birds are content with their current situation and want to live their lives well, even if their lives are very narrow, only the size of a cage.

A very few birds will go berserk; they would rather blow up the cage than not get out. Even if they don't get out, the important thing is that the cage must explode.

But actually, there is a third way.

An imaginary gate, called the Star Gate.

Without any basis or clues, they simply imagined a door that led directly to the 'god' who had descended the cage. In order to find this door, which might not even exist, and to be able to face the 'god', they spent their entire lives forging ahead in the darkness.

The other two factions also called them the "fools of the Seeking Sect".

The Traveler and the Doctor - Edo Tensei are the leaders of this faction. One travels the world to find the Gate, while the other is determined to drill into the Earth's core. To this day, they have not found it, and there is only a guess.

The moon in the sky above the Uncharted Territory is not the real moon, but an astronomical disc with 24 stars embedded in it, of which 15 are currently lit and 9 are dim.

The number of lit stars is consistent with the number of existing leaders, hence the leaders are also known as 'stars'.

Based on this phenomenon, the only theoretical basis for finding a sect is that when all twenty-four commanders are gathered and all the stars are lit, the star gate will open.

Binael leaned close to Wang Shou and asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "What does the Doctor mean by bringing up Stargate at this time?"

“It doesn’t matter, nobody cares about this faction,” Wang Shou replied in a low voice.

Lighting up the stars is basically impossible to accomplish within three to five years, and nobody cares.

"What are you talking about?" Alice, the human form of the Red Chess Queen, tugged at Binel and asked curiously, "Why are the rules for this level so strange? Do you have any ideas?"

After a moment of silence, Tony the teacher spoke first: "Meow—"

The orange cat led the way into the stronghold, followed by Wang Shou, who said, "Let's find the door."

On the other side, at the entrance of the Shuoye Corridor.

Li Guanqi's team stepped into the portal, and the data stream in front of them slowly distorted.

The next second, a cacophony of voices and the aroma of food mixed with spices wafted over.

The cold corridor beneath my feet was no longer a concrete floor stained with a little oil. Before me stretched a long, unobstructed street, bustling with people.

The neon lights on the signs flickered with a cheap glow, the white smoke from the barbecue stalls mingled with the aroma of grilled squid, and the shouts of the ring toss vendors and the laughter of couples intertwined.

Everything was too real.

For a moment, Li Guanqi thought he had returned to Earth.

But then he realized something was wrong.

He raised his hand, and what came into view was a slender, fair wrist with fingers that seemed to have no bones.

This is not his hand.

"Your Highness? Ariana? Arias?" A hurried male voice came from not far away, the tone rough, "Where are you?"

Li Guanqi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slightly overweight middle-aged man standing on tiptoe, peering into the crowd with a look of panic on his face.

Judging from the content of the conversation, it is the maid Ariana.

Immediately afterwards, another cold, boyish voice rang out: "I am Arias, and you are?"

A slender high school student in a school uniform squeezed out from the crowd.

He is Arias, the deacon of the Silver City.

The two quickly met up, looked at each other, and were both completely bewildered.

"You're Arias?! You're so skinny!" "You are—" High school student Arias stared in shock at the obese man before him, his worldview shattered. "Ariana?" "Yes! I'm huge! I can protect Her Highness!"

"Palace Master. Yes! Where is the Palace Master?"

"And what about that live-in...live-in-law?"

"Stop shouting." A tired woman's voice sounded behind them.

The two turned around abruptly and saw a simply dressed woman with a child on her back, standing in front of a barbecue stall preparing grilled sausages.

It is His Highness the Palace Master.

The three people's gazes met in the air, and they all saw the same bewilderment and shock in each other's eyes.

"I am Ariana," a man in a guard uniform shouted as he pushed through the crowd.

The four from Silver City successfully met and resolved their crisis, but the sky had already collapsed.

Arias went from being an elegant female key figure to a male high school student, her maid Ariana became a fat otaku, her maid Ariana became a police officer, and the worst off was their palace mistress, who became a thirty-year-old barbecue stall woman with a child.

Not only their appearance, but all the IDs, skins, and even system interfaces that could prove their player identity have completely disappeared.

"Where exactly is this place?" Ariana clenched her strong, powerful hands.

"The system has turned us into strangers." The Palace Master of Silver City rubbed his temples, utterly exhausted by this sudden turn of events. "And now they've paired us with a child?"

The four people looked at each other, and suddenly realized a problem.

“Wait a minute,” high school student Arias was the first to react, “we’re still missing one person.”

"That's right!" Ariana, now disguised as a fat middle-aged woman, widened her eyes. "Where's that son-in-law?"

"Where has he disappeared again?"

"Eliminated? No... there was no notification."

“The rest of us landed in pretty close locations, so there’s no reason for him to be the only one to get special treatment.”

The fat, nerdy Ariana opened her mouth wide and shouted in her rough male voice towards the bustling street.

"son-in-law"

"Son-in-law of Silver City—where the hell have you been—?"

The noise of the night market couldn't drown out his shout, and passersby around him cast strange glances at him.

The Palace Master of Silver City's temples throbbed, and the veins on his forehead bulged: "That bastard!"

Just then, the baby who had been quietly on her back was startled by the earth-shattering roar, and its little mouth twitched.

"Wow--!"

A loud cry rang out through the night sky, drowning out all the noise.

The palace master stiffened, a wave of unprecedented frustration and helplessness washing over her. She, the palace master who ruled the Silver City, had now been reduced to selling grilled sausages on the street, and was burdened with a constantly crying child.

"Don't cry, don't cry..." She instinctively tried to comfort her, but her movements were awkward and stiff.

However, the baby's crying only lasted a moment before it stopped abruptly, turning into a series of indistinct yet strangely struggling whimpers.

"Uh...yes..."

"……this……"

The voice was soft and weak, like the unconscious babbling of an infant.

"Palace Master, you've got a knack for picking your timing." Ariana scratched her greasy head, not paying much attention.

But the palace master felt the little thing on her back begin to wriggle uncontrollably. Its two short legs kicked her lower back hard, and its two little fists waved wildly in the air, as if it were performing a set of chaotic, unorthodox punches.

Arias and the others also came over to tease the baby. The Palace Master has a baby. How rare! The young Palace Master!

Then, that soft humming sound rang out again, this time seemingly more forceful and clearer.

“Son-in-law…here…”

For a moment, the air suddenly became very quiet.

At this moment, the smiles of Arias, Ariana, and the trio of children playing with the baby froze on their faces.

An extremely terrifying thought arose in their minds, and just thinking about it gave them goosebumps all over their bodies.

The baby's already red face turned even redder, and his big, dark eyes stared intently ahead, his gaze devoid of the innocent confusion a baby should have, instead revealing a desperate anxiety.

Under the stunned gaze of the three, the baby mustered all its strength and struggled to raise a chubby little hand, pointing tremblingly and solemnly at itself.

"I am superfluous. Superfluous."

Deathly silence.

The hustle and bustle of the night market, the aroma of grilled sausages, and the neon lights all seemed to fade away at this moment.

All three of them experienced a simultaneous mental breakdown, their thoughts going completely blank.

Arias's hand moved uncontrollably, forcefully covering the baby's face! He was going to kill this monster!

"Arias, what are you doing!" The palace master noticed something was wrong and sternly rebuked him, turning around with anger in his eyes.

Arias's hand, which was covering the baby's face, suddenly froze in mid-air.

The Silver City Palace Master looked at Arias as if he were looking at a naughty, unruly child: "How could you kill a child? Have you forgotten the etiquette of Labyrinth?"

"Arias, how could you be so rude? Although we are not in the city now, we must still be mindful of our manners."

The Palace Master of Silver City began to instruct Arias, reciting incessantly.

Although I was extremely annoyed by suddenly becoming a mother, looking at the tiny, soft life in the basket, a strange sense of responsibility welled up inside me.

This is her... baby.

Although it was assigned by the system.

“Palace Master, he…” Arias’s face turned ashen as he pointed at the infant, desperately trying to explain what a terrifying soul resided within that tiny body.

He's that son-in-law!
"Ah—!" A scream as loud as a pig being slaughtered suddenly rang out, completely drowning out Arias's voice.

Ariana, disguised as an obese middle-aged man, grabbed Arias and Ariana, who was dressed as a policewoman, with a look of panic on her face.

The palace master looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Ariana? What's wrong?"

"N-nothing!" Ariana forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, waving her hands frantically while desperately dragging the other two aside, her voice low and hissing:
"Are you crazy?! What do you want to say to the Palace Master?"

"I have to tell her the truth!" High school student Arias stamped his foot anxiously. "That baby is..."

"No!" Ariana's voice cracked as she gripped Arias's shoulders tightly, her small eyes wide with shock. "Do you want Her Highness to know that the babbling baby on her back is that lewd son-in-law?"

High school student Arias and policewoman Ariana were stunned.

"Just imagine that scene!" Ariana collapsed. "Your Highness, our supreme Silver Lord is not only selling sausages on the street, but has also become that bastard's...mother?"

"This is a wound that can never be healed in a lifetime!"

"Your Highness will lose the light in your eyes."

"Oh—oh!" Arias suddenly realized, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Absolutely! We absolutely cannot let the Palace Master know!" The three exchanged glances, reached a consensus, and formed an unbreakable alliance of "deceiving superiors and subordinates."

While they were whispering amongst themselves, the completely ignored baby Li Guanqi was furious.

"Wow—waaaaaaaa—!"

The loud cries rang out again, more piercing than ever before, filled with despair and grievance.

"What's wrong now?" The Palace Mistress of Silver City was at her wits' end. She awkwardly patted the basket on her back, her tone irritated, "Baby, don't cry... It's all that live-in son-in-law's fault, I wonder where he's gone! So annoying!"

"Wow--!"

Upon hearing this, the baby cried even louder, almost desperately.

"Oh dear—" The Palace Mistress of Silver City sighed deeply. Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at the three subordinates huddled together.

"Do you think he's been crying because he's hungry?"

She frowned, trying to recall long-forgotten common sense about modern civilization.

If the baby is hungry... should we... feed them?

Hearing that borderline yet sacred word, 'breastfeeding'.

Arias, Ariana, and Ariana were all suddenly startled.

There was a kind of stiffness, like someone struck by lightning.

Even the heart-wrenching cries abruptly ceased at that moment.

The baby, Li Guanqi, stared wide-eyed, ceasing all struggles. The baby was hungry, but the adults were heartbroken.

"Feeding...feeding?!"
