Poverty makes me capable of anything.

They can be resurrected, so they are not afraid of death.

They are even less afraid of trouble.

Look at those eyes!

Brave, fearless, and full of enthusiasm.

It's as if they're saying, "Get out of my way, let me do it!"

Wayne decided to respond to the players' enthusiasm.

He walked up to An Ran with a smile.

"These strangers..."

An Ran already understood what she meant.

In fact, she had wanted to let players participate for a long time, but due to her relationship with the Chain of Judgment, she couldn't bring herself to ask.

It's perfect that Wayne brought it up now.

She couldn't refuse these humans' requests, could she?

With the approval of Enron and Wayne, tens of thousands of players marched into Laboratory 1 with great fanfare.

Anran recalled that Wayne had said not long ago that these two experiments were studying higher-dimensional life forms and the expansion of dimensional ascension technology.

Perhaps without needing the rewards of being exiled from the empire, she could still quickly learn a lot about the basics of dimensions here.

"let's go!"

Anran nodded and followed behind Wayne and the others, stepping through the laboratory door.

Chapter 69 Protecting the weak is our inescapable duty!

The laboratory was deserted as the monster hunted it.

After passing through the side door, the first thing that comes into view is a straight passage that seems to have no end at all.

This laboratory doesn't seem to have much consideration for aesthetic design.

The walls that came into view were all cold, silvery-white, and there were no decorations.

If there are usually many pedestrians, it wouldn't seem like a problem.

But things are different now.

Such an environment is a breeding ground for fear.

Just standing in this corridor makes people unconsciously have all sorts of strange thoughts.

What if the wall is suddenly breached, and a hideous monster emerges?

Could this passage suddenly turn into an endless road with no beginning or end, trapping people inside?

Will the lights overhead suddenly go out, followed by a mournful whistling wind?

If you're scared, just stand outside and don't come in.

【…】

"Then... of course I'm coming in, what's there to be afraid of?"

[Exactly, I'm a Star Slayer, after all!]

Me too.

A group of players walked noisily into the laboratory.

Unless it's a stealth mission where speaking could get you into trouble, keeping players quiet is quite difficult.

While the players were discussing when Anran's strength might catch up with those veteran Star Domain Overlords, they didn't notice that through a cold metal wall, a "thin rope" was crawling forward in the pipe.

The subtle friction sounds produced during movement were masked by the responses from speaking.

After finally reaching a corner, a member of the defense department with a gloomy face and wearing protective clothing suddenly came out.

Hey.

The sound of the heels hitting the ground was clearly audible.

"..."

The group of ten players were stunned for a moment.

I almost thought I'd encountered a ghost.

Thankfully, it was a living, breathing person.

What are you doing here?

The first to speak was a member of the defense department, who frowned and looked displeased.

Player Winter Snow stepped forward: "We received a commission from your director and are preparing to come in and hunt down the infiltrated monsters."

"The director's commission? An infiltrated monster?" a member of the defense department muttered. He suddenly looked up. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. I haven't received any instructions from my superiors."

"what?"

The snow of winter stared wide-eyed.

No notification?

The alarm was blaring so loudly just now; even if you didn't receive a notification, you should have realized something was wrong.

"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"It was a member of the defense department who suddenly spoke."

Winter Snow coughed lightly, just about to explain the situation in detail, when the female player standing next to him reached out and patted his shoulder.

"wait……"

The snow of winter never turned back.

The female player seemed a little angry, and she increased the force in her hand, pulling Winter's Snow two steps to the left.

"Hey……"

The snow of winter swallowed its question.

At that moment, he also noticed something was wrong.

From this angle, you can clearly see a health bar on the back of that defense officer.

"..."

The snow in the dead of winter swallowed hard.

monster!

The snow in the dead of winter reminds me of all the disaster movies I've watched.

That thing standing behind must be that shuttle-shaped monster!

I didn't expect them to run into each other so soon.

After the initial surprise, the winter snow became excited.

These spindle-shaped monsters are part of the body of that Overlord-level BOSS. If we kill it, will we get much more experience than usual?

The players who hadn't yet advanced to Star Slayer, following behind the Snow of Winter, also became excited.

At first, they thought they would feel fear.

But when the monster actually appeared, they felt no fear whatsoever.

Is there really anything to be afraid of?

This monster has already emerged on its own. No matter how many changes it undergoes, it will eventually condense into a health bar with a limit.

Moreover, if they kill this guy, will their advancement mission be considered complete?

If that's the case, then they're big shots too!

silence.

Silence is the flickering fire in the player's eyes.

They were discussing in the chat channel how to instantly kill the monster.

The defense officer who had been pretending to be oblivious finally realized something was wrong.

Several people were staring at my back.

They're not moving their mouths, but their eyes can convey a lot.

The defense officers laughed.

As he laughed, a crescent-shaped "tail" slowly popped out from behind his buttocks.

“It seems you’ve already discovered it,” he said.

Clang!

Its mouth gaped open, revealing sharp, beast-like teeth.

A murderous intent was brewing.

At this moment, Snow in the dead of winter was greatly surprised. He pointed at the monster and shouted, "Holy crap, its tail! Could it be that this monster stuck itself in there?"

"Well--"

The players next to him immediately showed strange expressions.

A cute little one asked, "Which place is that?"

"It's better for kids not to know," a female player replied with a smile.

"what?"

"If you really want to know, just search for the word 'tail' on an online shopping mall."

Is this a new way to advertise?

The little cutie opened the game's built-in browser.
