Where's the cute girl we were promised? She's completely wiped out S-rank dungeons!

Song Yuan stepped over the dead rats on the ground to examine the small jar used to concoct the "love potion." She noticed that the small note with the recipe attached was loose. She took out a handkerchief and, through the fabric, lifted the top layer to reveal the contents underneath:

【"Love Poison," as the name suggests, is a poison that kills you with just one sip.】

[Ingredients: One coin, one USB flash drive, one property deed, five drops of sulfuric acid, one wedding ring, and one drop of still-warm blood from a drowning victim]

All ingredients, melted together in one furnace! You will receive a love poison.

[You can poison the "husband" NPC you are bound to without harming yourself.]

After reading the recipe, Song Yuan suddenly remembered the coins in her pocket—the only money she had found after searching the entire house. She had assumed it was for groceries, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

She took out a coin and dropped it in, and the system immediately issued a notification sound:

[Ding~ "Love Poison" preparation progress detected: 16.6%]

Song Yuan revealed a knowing look: Sure enough, she knew that if she followed the original steps of the system task, cleaning day after day and treating the NPCs like emperors, she could indeed complete the game. But how long would the player have to do this? Would they be kicked out of the apartment due to reaching the maximum disappointment level? Would they go crazy from the daily grind?

The "love poison" must be related to some hidden condition. Even though she doesn't know what the hidden condition is yet, she'll gather all the materials first!

"Ding-dong!"

The doorbell suddenly rang. Song Yuan stood up alertly, went out of the kitchen, and looked through the peephole. Seeing Qiao Ran standing outside, she opened the door and went out.

"You've arrived earlier than scheduled."

"Because my agility has increased~"

Qiao Ran showed her his personal panel, where his attack power and agility were listed as 73 and 71 respectively. This was thanks to the enhancement potion he got from He Xiao; drinking just one would instantly increase his attack power by sixty points for the next six hours.

However, Qiao Ran's foundation was really too poor; another player might have gotten over a hundred.

"Tonight we might have to face off against the Midnight Ghosts, so I drank it in advance, so at least I won't hold you back at the crucial moment."

Song Yuan: "So, you've seen the recipe too?"

"I saw it."

Thinking of this, Qiao Ran gasped and hugged herself.

"That kitchen was disgusting... Six ingredients, six players—that's a pretty obvious hint. It's telling us that if we want to get a cup of 'love poison,' we have to steal the ingredients from other players."

Song Yuan added, "Moreover, the amount of ingredients is absolutely insufficient to concoct six cups of complete love poison. Players who fail to concoct the potion can only fulfill the first condition for clearing the level. However, the condition is extremely strict and practically impossible to fulfill; doing so would result in death."

Qiao Ran was surprised: "Really? I didn't think of that. I have six USB drives on my computer. What do you have?"

Song Yuan took out the remaining three coins, and handed one to him:

"Four. One was used when preparing the poison."

The number of players who can survive and leave this instance is...

"It refers to the minimum number of materials among the six materials."

In the corridor of Building 5, Fu Zhengyang looked at the materials on the floor and made a conclusion:

"Six rings, five property deeds, and judging from the amount of sulfuric acid, it's only enough for about four applications. We don't yet know how much material the other two have, but based on our materials, two people in this instance are definitely going to die."

He glanced at An Xiaomei, whose face was pale, and a slight smile appeared on his lips:

"I don't need to teach you what to do next, right? I promised you I wouldn't break my word. As long as you follow my instructions, I will remove the warrant issued by Midnight Ghost after I see those two newcomers die in front of me."

An Xiaomei, pressed against the wall, her face bearing fresh handprints and a streak of bright red blood still visible around her mouth, said tremblingly:

"Well... but the girl among those two, her family has been very kind to me in real life, and I don't remember making any deal with you at all. If she's the one who needs to be harmed, then I can't..."

Wang Daqiang interrupted her abruptly, reaching out to push An Xiaomei's shoulder, and taking the opportunity to grope her a little, after all, An Xiaomei was so pretty:

"Hey?! You ungrateful woman, does the chairman need your opinion before giving you orders?"

Before his hand could even touch An Xiaomei, she screamed and jumped up:

"Ah—don't touch me!"

【warn!warn!warn! 】

[Player "An Xiaomei's" sanity has dropped to 10! Your sanity is in a worrying state. Please take a sanity recovery potion immediately!]

Her outburst was so sudden that even Wang Daqiang was stunned. It took him about two or three seconds to react, and then, in a fit of rage, he slammed his fist against the wall, smashing a hole through it.

"You're asking for it, you bitch! What are you yelling about? The chairman trusts you, that's already a favor. And you're talking about principles? What's the value of principles anyway?!"

Xu Jian frowned slightly and bluntly pointed out, "Hey! Isn't that because you touched her inappropriately just now? If you were a real man, you wouldn't use such despicable methods!"

Wang Daqiang never expected this big, simple-minded guy to expose him. It wouldn't matter if others saw through his disgusting thoughts, but to say them so seriously was bad for his image. Wang Daqiang was furious, his face turning red, and retorted, "What's it to you! I'm interrogating her on behalf of the chairman. She's going back on her word! Chairman, she looks down on you, thinking you're easy to bully. It's not a big deal for me to teach her a lesson, is it?"

Fu Zhengyang glanced at him: "Really? What were you trying to do to her just now?"

Wang Daqiang: "This! Uh... that..."

How could he possibly say that out loud? Can't you, old man, see it for yourself?!

Fu Zhengyang looked at An Xiaomei, who was squatting on the ground covering her ears and nervously biting her nails and lip, and calmly said:

"I'm asking you, what did you want to do to her just now? Now do it again."

Wang Daqiang nodded and bowed hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I'll do it right away... What did you say, Chairman?!"
