Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

Chu Yang didn't know how Sun Hong became a first-degree criminal, nor did he care.

Since he has launched an attack on me, he is already doomed.

Sun Hong's movement speed and attack speed were faster than his own, but he made a fatal mistake in the previous battle.

That means he used two [Dodge] skills to avoid his own attack!

Chu Yang dodged forward and suddenly grabbed Sun Hong's arm.

During the battle with the bat-men, Chu Yang discovered that grabbing with bare hands was actually a very useful control technique.

This move isn't a skill and doesn't have any special effects, but it can be surprisingly effective when the opponent doesn't have escape skills like [dodge]!

Once captured, Sun Hong swung his dagger at Chu Yang's neck, but Chu Yang made no attempt to defend himself.

He gripped Sun Hong tightly with his left hand and slammed the shield forward.

Thieves have very low health, only 300 points at level 1.

In the previous battle, Sun Hong had already lost more than 100 points, and in the few seconds he was entangled with Chu Yang, he lost another 100 points.

Soon, he fell into a state of red blood and lost the ability to resist.

Seeing that Chu Yang was about to smash him to death with his shield, Sun Hong hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Stop! I... I can trade you everything I have! Just spare my life!"

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that there was still a glimmer of hope for survival, Sun Hong hurriedly initiated a trade request to Chu Yang.

The trading panel appeared, but it only contained a green-grade skill book.

Chu Yang laughed and said, "You think your life is only worth this much?"

Sun Hong quickly said, "No, no! I have two more items. Let me near the entrance, and I'll give them to you. Otherwise, I'm worried that you might take them and then..."

Chu Yang accepted the request, completing the transaction.

Just when Sun Hong thought Chu Yang had agreed to his proposal, he saw Chu Yang raise his shield and smash it at him!

"You?!...Why...?"

Chu Yang calmly put away his shield and said, "Because it's too troublesome."

Chu Yang is actually a person who hates trouble, especially scheming against others.

"Successfully killed a Level 1 Sinner, Human Race Contribution Points +10, Obtained a Blue Treasure Chest."

While outside the gate, Chu Yang killed a minotaur and gained 1 human contribution point, which granted him permission to open the gate.

Therefore, this human contribution point must be a very valuable resource.

[10 Human Contribution Points and a blue treasure chest—that's quite a temptation...]

Chu Yangguang felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about how he would be surrounded by a group of door-pushing people every time he entered a new door.

The key point is that others get a reward for killing you, but you don't get a reward for killing others.

"This punishment is severe enough..."

Chu Yang casually opened the blue treasure chest, which contained two items.

1,500 coins

2 blue runes

Including the green skill book that Sun Hong just traded to me, the reward for killing a level one human sinner is quite generous.

[It seems I really can't let human criminals get away with this in the future...]

Thinking of this, Chu Yang suddenly asked, "Hey, by the way, Xiaomen? How do you define a sinner among the human race?"

"When Zhao Baining unleashed her Fire Dragon Technique earlier, it also hit me. Why wasn't she labeled a sinner against humanity?"

Xiao Men replied, "Whether someone intends to harm others is something we can judge for ourselves."

"Have a mind? You mean you can read our thoughts directly?!"

"No comment."

Seeing that Xiaomen did not answer, Chu Yang decided to put the matter aside for the time being.

He took off Sun Hong's shirt and put it on himself, then headed towards the last blood pack room.

On the way, Chu Yang checked the information about the items he had just acquired.

【Phantom Blade - Blue】- Basic Attack Rune: Each basic attack has a 50% chance to create a phantom that repeats the attack once.

【Double Slash - Green】 - Skill Book: A rapid double slash attack that deals 1*attack physical damage per hit and can trigger basic attack effects.

There's not much to say about the green skill book; it's an attack skill for sword-wielding classes, and Chu Yang can't use it.

The rune [Phantom Blade] is indeed very good. Equipping it greatly increases the frequency of basic attacks, thus enhancing Chu Yang's output capabilities.

Giving this rune to a shieldbearer is really a waste of its potential.

After equipping the Phantom Blade rune with his basic attack, Chu Yang arrived at the last health pack room.

The place was in complete disarray, with several corpses of bats and humans lying among them, clearly indicating that a major battle had taken place.

Chu Yang approached and examined them one by one, discovering that the other three members of the other squad had all died there.

"If it weren't for Sun Hong's betrayal, perhaps one or two of the three of them would have survived."

After a brief sigh, Chu Yang thought to himself, "Although killing one's own kind is punishable, I still need to be more wary of others in the future..."

Chu Yang silently stripped the clothes off the three corpses and then went into the blood bag room.

The little girls in the cells inside are still there. It's likely that Sun Hong felt he couldn't take them away by himself, so he left them alone.

Chu Yang kept two shirts and gave the other one to the little girl who came out first.

Afterwards, Chu Yang led more than ten little girls from the two blood bag rooms to the exit.

On the way, they only encountered two bat-men hiding in the shadows. Chu Yang did not chase after them, and the two bat-men did not dare to approach.

At the exit, Chu Yang stacked the shield to a full 10 before stepping out of the cave.

"Level 3 has been cleared with an SS rating. Rewards have been increased."

"You have obtained one purple relic. Please choose one of the following three relics."

Just as Chu Yang was about to examine the belongings and rewards, he heard Zhou Yuan exclaim in surprise, "Brother Chu? What are you doing here?!"

Chu Yang looked at the two of them. At this moment, Zhao Baining's severed arm had been restored. Seeing that Zhao Baining and Zhou Yuan were equally puzzled, he immediately understood that the two of them probably did not know that the flow rate inside the checkpoint was different from that in the safe zone.

That's true. Most people probably won't want to linger in dangerous levels after clearing the game. It's normal that they wouldn't notice anything after only passing three doors.

Chu Yang tossed two pieces of clothing from his backpack to the two men and explained, "The flow rate inside the checkpoint is different from that in the safe zone. Change into these clothes first, and I'll explain."

Zhou Yuan's long-sleeved shirt fit him fairly well, while Zhao Baining wore a short-sleeved shirt worn by high school girl Zhang Man, which was a bit tight.

Her already impressive upper body became even more eye-catching after wearing such a tight short-sleeved shirt, as if it would burst at any moment.

"Cough cough~"

Chu Yang looked away, coughed twice, and then explained to the two the differences in the flow of time between the level, the safe zone, and the real world.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Baining became extremely agitated upon hearing this. She grabbed Chu Yang's arm and exclaimed urgently, "Chu Yang! Is what you're saying true?! Time flows extremely slowly in the real world?!"

Chu Yang nodded and said, "Yes, you can confirm it with the system in your mind."

A moment later, Zhao Baining exclaimed excitedly, "That's great! That's great! So, I can get out in time to save my sister!"

Seeing the two looking at her, Zhao Baining explained, "That night, my sister and I were strolling along the Bund when suddenly the entire street, along with the Huangpu River, split open in the middle, and a mountain forest rose out of thin air from the crack..."

"Many monsters with animal heads and human bodies emerged from the mountains and forests, killing anyone they saw..."

"My sister and I were hiding inside a clothing store when we were discovered by a monster with a rat's head..."

"I managed to kill that rat-headed man, but I got separated from my sister..."

"And then we arrived at this place."

"After entering this place, I've been constantly worried about my sister. Now that I know time passes very slowly outside, then... then my sister must still be alive!"

"I must leave this place alive and find my sister!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang suddenly realized something: "The Bund? The Huangpu River? You're in Shanghai too?"

Zhao Baining nodded.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan shouted, "What a coincidence! I'm also in Shanghai! Xuhui District."

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps, everyone who enters our gate area is from the Shanghai area..."
