After thinking for a moment, she pretended to be embarrassed and asked, "Really? Are the players treated that well?"

Meng Hanguang smiled helplessly: "What's good or bad about it? It's just about living."

"Really? This is my first time in this program, so I don't know much about it," Shi Jinwei said frankly.

This is true, but some other information was omitted.

Meng Hanguang seemed to have expected this: "I can tell. If you make it a second time, you'll probably be a contestant too."

Seeing the man respond, she immediately said, "Could you tell me the specifics of this instance? I haven't seen anyone else."

His words just now revealed that humans rarely come to this instance.

Her question didn't seem out of place.

As she expected, Meng Hanguang opened up and didn't hide anything from her.

The information she received stirred up a storm of emotions within her, making it difficult for her to calm down.

According to him, the "Arena" is also a dungeon.

The mission is to survive here for 5 days.

Once logged in, you can choose between two roles: "participant" and "spectator".

The only difference between the two, besides whether or not they participate in the competition, is that one "makes money" and the other "spends money".

After selecting their identity, participants can register directly at the registration desk at the entrance.

Participate in at least three matches a day, and you will earn Ghost Coins based on your ranking for each victory.

The fighting arena will also provide food and lodging for the participants.

Spectators, on the other hand, need to buy tickets to watch the games every day after they enter.

You need to watch at least one game a day.

Spectators can book rooms at the front desk, where three meals a day are provided.

Hearing this, he asked Shi Jinwei, "What kind of room did you book?"

Shi Jinwei calmly shook her head: "I just came in, and I plan to watch the game before I go."

Hearing her say that, Meng Hanguang suggested, "I recommend you book a double room."

Shi Jinwei had booked a king-size bed room in the "Grand Hotel" instance before, so she didn't know that the standard room required sharing with other ghosts.

Meng Hanguang's point was that since you've already paid to clear the game, there's no need to live with the supernatural beings for safety reasons.

Otherwise, by some accident, you might be swallowed up by the strange creature you share a room with that night.

There's nowhere to cry.

"And what about the rooms for your contestants?" Shi Jinwei continued to ask.

"Three consecutive wins are like a single room, winning one or two games and surviving is like a double room."

Upon hearing his answer, Shi Jinwei nodded thoughtfully.

Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "So you're playing ten games to make money?"

Meng Hanguang didn't feel embarrassed at all.

He nodded with a smile. "Of course, when you leave the dungeon, you'll be paid Ghost Coins based on your level and number of victories. But it's easy to make money here, but you also die quickly, so everyone prefers to choose other ways to earn money."

His tone was somewhat arrogant, clearly showing his confidence in his abilities.

At this point, Shi Jinwei could confirm that this was a player.

So another question is, what is his identity as a player?

If it's "ancient martial arts," then she's probably a gamer like her.

The two copies partially overlapped; he had seen this copy on the forum.

The different timelines can also be explained.

If not, could he be the "human player from the bizarre world" that Song Jie mentioned?

Upon hearing this idea, Shi Jinwei couldn't help but feel excited.

She glanced at the man who wanted her to praise him, and said flatteringly, "Well, you're pretty good. Only capable people dare to choose contestants. I'm not capable enough, so I can only pay to pass."

She actually praised him, and Meng Hanguang felt a little embarrassed: "Ahem, it was just a fluke."

Seeing his reaction, Shi Jinwei's heart stirred, and she tentatively asked, "Really? You're really good at fighting."

"It's alright, I'm just average among the players. I can't compare to those high-level combatants. They can fight against high-level monsters without using any skills, I can't compare to them."

As he said this, his eyes lit up with admiration.

Shi Jinwei cooperated by feigning attentiveness, and the man immediately continued, "Really, you know, we..."

Shi Jinwei didn't hear the rest of what was said.

She could tell the other person was still excitedly talking nonstop, so she guessed they had been blocked by the system.

So, she really guessed it.

Is this man a human player from the strange world?

She tried to bring up the question.

Meng Hanguang seemed oblivious and continued talking to himself.

Shi Jinwei couldn't help but feel somewhat disappointed.

It seems this is all the intelligence we can gather, but it's not a complete loss.

After Meng Hanguang finished speaking, she also got up to take her leave.

"Yes, it's getting late. Do you need me to go with you to book a room?" he asked.

Shi Jinwei shook her head.

When she came in, she didn't see a room reservation area.

I plan to go to the front desk to inquire and confirm my guess.

There's no need to tell the other person, since you can't explain it anyway.

Meng Hanguang wasn't disappointed. He said something to her again and then looked at her expectantly.

Unfortunately, Shi Jinwei still couldn't hear it.

She could only look back at him expressionlessly.

Meng Hanguang was truly disappointed, but he still smiled and said goodbye with good temper.

Only after his figure had completely disappeared did Shi Jinwei turn her gaze away.

She looked around and realized she was the only human in the audience.

Without lingering any longer, they walked outside.

I inquired about room reservations at the front desk in the lobby.

She was told that her identity prevented her from booking a room at the arena.

When she tried to ask more questions, the other person just smiled at her.

Knowing she wouldn't get any more information, she simply sat down on the sofa in the lobby lounge area.

Some people were found to be suspicious; they took a room key from the counter and then walked towards the side of the lobby.

The ghost disappeared around the corner.

She wanted to follow them, and when she got there she saw two elevators.

As a result, the elevator buttons had no effect at all.

A strange figure emerged from the elevator behind her, and she tried to go inside as soon as the door opened.

But she found an invisible barrier separating her, preventing her from stepping through.

Is this the barrier between instances?

Unable to be sure, she tried several times without success and had to give up.

I stood there for a while longer.

It was discovered that only the eerie place allowed free access.

There were no other humans in sight.

Just to be on the safe side, I went to the front desk to ask for advice.

The receptionist simply stated that players entering from the amusement park could only register to participate in competitions and earn points.

No food or accommodation will be provided for spectators.

As she explained, Shi Jinwei sized up the receptionist.

I found a scanner on the counter.

As she approached, three words quietly appeared on it: Amusement Park.

Some eerie people will also display these three words when they approach.

Some eerie creatures stand before you, displaying four words: "The World of Eerie Creatures."

This discovery confirmed to her that there were indeed duplicate copies.

I also thank Meng Hanguang in my heart.

If she hadn't met him, she would never have known that this place was actually a separate instance.

With more and more clues emerging, we are getting closer and closer to the truth.

But new problems have emerged, and they are elusive and confusing.

My phone alarm went off just then, as the daytime business hours were about to end.
