……

It was close to four in the morning.

Lu Xining, who was waiting for dawn in the living room, suddenly said to Fan Xiao, "You should go back."

She glanced at the time on the player panel and reminded them, "The old woman with the dried corpse spawned around this time yesterday. If players don't stay in their own homes, she will attack them."

"Now that the mission has reached this stage, I already enjoy special privileges, so it doesn't matter if I get attacked..."

Fan Xiao explained his current situation.

He has already won over Yan Keke and established a "connection" with her. Yan Keke can block the mental suggestions from the dungeon at any time.

Therefore, he is practically safe in this instance.

Because the monsters are just illusions, the damage they cause to the player is merely a "feeling" based on mental suggestion.

This feeling is so immersive that it can even kill the player.

However, once the player regains their senses, this "sensory damage" is nothing compared to a gentle breeze.

However, Fan Xiao did not completely let his guard down.

He was indeed no longer afraid, but Lu Xining did not have that kind of guarantee.

Yan Keke's instance privileges are very limited; she can only provide mental suggestion shielding for players who successfully win her over.

In addition, attempting to rescue players privately is prohibited within the instance.

After all, if a dungeon boss actively goes to save a player... how can this dungeon even be played?

Why has Your Majesty rebelled?

"I'm fine, but you..."

Fan Xiao said to Lu Xining, "You have to be careful. If you can't hold on, just retreat."

“I feel like this instance is targeting me,” Lu Xining frowned. “I was assigned the role of Yan Keke, and I can’t win over myself, so from the very beginning, I haven’t been able to complete the third mission?”

"It can still be completed."

Fan Xiao said, "If you choose to pursue other little girls, you can also get Yan Keke's 'connection'."

"Once you enter that chaotic space and meet Yan Keke and the other little girls, you can repeat the strategy for them again, but it will take more time. Hmm... it is indeed a bit unfair to you."

"The dungeon should be fair to every player..."

After thinking for a moment, he speculated, "I guess you probably enjoy some kind of privilege in this instance, such as taking less damage from monsters than other players?"

There are many possibilities.

But the mission has already been completed to this stage, and there is no need to delve any further.

Anyway, Lu Xining was only staying to help and wasn't interested in the conditions of the third task.

For her, this instance was already over.

Wait... she probably isn't interested, right?

There are only two people left in the instance now. If she's interested, it means she'll have to win him over.

Fan Xiao suddenly cast an observant glance at Lu Xining and probed with a question: "Xi Ning, you're not interested in the third mission condition... are you?"

“Of course,” Lu Xining replied expressionlessly, “I’m not going to fight you for it; I’m just staying here to help.”

"It doesn't matter if you try to take it from me. There's no limit to the number of players for this mission. If we complete it together, it will still be considered a success."

Fan Xiao "reminded" him.

He said this not because he expected Lu Xining to do anything to him.

He simply wanted to test whether things had gone awry and Lu Xining had taken the charade too seriously.

"No interest. All I want to do right now is go back to Earth and take a hot shower."

Lu Xining replied indifferently, "Besides, I don't have your abilities. I can't save people from a sacrificial ceremony."

"If I were to try to solve it, I don't know how much time it would take. I might not even make any progress by the end of the dungeon, and you would have to keep covering for me... Forget it."

Hearing her say that, Fan Xiao didn't ask any further questions.

Lu Xining peered through the open living room door at the outside of the brick house, seemingly observing the surroundings to see where the mummified old woman was.

From an angle where Fan Xiao couldn't see, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Soon, a sinister laugh came from outside.

The mummified old woman appeared and rushed into the house, attacking Fan Xiao directly.

Lu Xining immediately became a little nervous.

Fan Xiao was much calmer than her, standing there motionless, letting the mummified old woman tear and bite at him.

As he expected, he felt nothing.

Yan Keke had already blocked his emotional cues, so "emotional harm" could no longer befall him.

Before long, in addition to the mummified old woman, other monsters also appeared one after another.

Shadow monster, upside-down ghost, weasel...

Fan Xiao took the initiative to step forward and lure the monsters away, temporarily blocking Lu Xining behind him.

He replied to the weasel, "You look like a blonde little girl with animal ears," which enraged the weasel, who charged at him and began to attack him wildly, but to no avail.

The stalemate lasted until 5 a.m., when the little angel's cooldown period ended.

Fan Xiao summoned her and slaughtered all the monsters that had gathered in the house in one fell swoop.

Chapter 141 Clever Tricks for Raising Lolis

"If only we could create mental illusions outside of the chaotic space. Maybe after creating the illusion of a weapon, we could directly attack these monsters and defeat magic with magic."

After Fan Qiqi killed all the monsters, Fan Xiao thought to himself with a sense of regret.

Unfortunately, this is restricted by the instance.

The only place where he can create illusions is the chaotic space controlled by Yan Keke.

Not to mention him, even Yan Keke herself couldn't create illusions outside the chaotic space at will during the instance's opening.

She was completely restricted.

As for the reason... if there were no restrictions, this little girl might directly create illusions to guide players on how to quickly complete the game.

Yes, she will sell her copy.

She really could do it!

Fan Xiao speculated that the strength of the restrictions imposed on the dungeon boss by the dungeon boss was likely closely related to the boss's personality.

Of all the dungeon bosses he had ever encountered, none were as severely restricted as Yan Keke; she was completely just a tool.

This incident itself speaks volumes.

Yan Keke's personality forced Fan Xiao to use the little angel's "conceptual kill" to fight the illusion.

It has a luxurious feel to it, like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

The little angel was his ultimate trump card, but in this dungeon, he's practically using it like a basic attack.

Of course, there are downsides, but the benefits outweigh the downsides.

At least the dungeon boss won't attack the players, which significantly reduces the dungeon's difficulty.

Otherwise, the "Wangxiang Town" instance would likely be rated C by the game.

"There shouldn't be any danger for the next four hours."

After stretching his muscles, Fan Xiao turned to Lu Xining and said, "We can relax a bit now."

"No, I'd better stay on guard," Lu Xining said. "After all, I have one less layer of protection than you."

"also."

Fan Xiao nodded: "After we finish the final steps at dawn, you can go back early and don't need to wait for me anymore."

Lu Xining did not refute.

Strictly speaking, she is now a burden.

The longer she stays in the instance, the more effort Fan Xiao has to put into protecting her.

In order to cultivate Fan Xiao's favor, such troublesome things should be avoided as much as possible.

This is also why she frankly stated that she was not interested in the "third task condition".

Actually, she could go back now, since Yan Keke's strategy was complete and she no longer needed to be the other party's "vessel".

However, Fan Xiao didn't bring it up, probably for other reasons.

"Could it be that Yan Keke wants to witness the choices made by those old women up close?"

Lu Xining guessed the possible reason.

She suddenly had the illusion that she had been completely used as a tool.

On the other side, Fan Qiqi sat on Fan Xiao's shoulders, staring at Lu Xining while gently swinging her fair feet.

Perhaps because she had already "pleased" Lu Xining before, her desires were satisfied, and she was not in a hurry to ask Fan Xiao to "play" with Sister Lu again.

Fan Xiao glanced at the quiet little girl, concluding that his strict upbringing had taken effect.

He rarely paid attention to the little angels' wishes, and basically just ignored them.

After giving the little angel the cold shoulder so many times, he only had to grant her a request occasionally to make her happy.

The cost of raising children has been visibly reduced.

Fan Xiao was very pleased.

You must continue to maintain this.

A short while later, the summoning time ended, and Fan Qiqi disappeared from his shoulder.

Fan Xiao started chatting with Lu Xining, initiating conversations about trivial topics and sharing some strange and unusual knowledge.

Lu Xining could tell that what Fan Xiao was saying was meant for Yan Keke, who was possessing her.

So she wasn't very interested and only half-heartedly kept up the conversation.

No more monsters attacked in the following period.

All the monsters in the vicinity have been killed.

As for the remaining dozens, they are scattered throughout the town.

Some are like "earthbound spirits," only moving around in fixed locations.

Some players, lacking the means to find other players, can only wander aimlessly through the town.

Unless you're incredibly unlucky, the chance of being targeted and attacked by dozens of monsters at once is virtually nonexistent.

Around 6:30, it got light.

However, Fan Xiao and Lu Xining did not go out.

The parents and younger brother remained unconscious inside the house, not yet awake.

The two waited until eight or nine in the morning before leaving the brick house and heading to where the old women lived.

During this process, they encountered three more waves of monster attacks.

Although Fan Xiao himself was not afraid, Lu Xining was in great danger, so he had to return to his old ways and control the "Dustless Shield" to run away with the girl, circling around so much that many monsters gave up the chase.

It was almost 10 o'clock when Fan Xiao finally managed to gather the seven elderly people who were still alive in the town together.

The elderly people looked at Fan Xiao with a puzzled expression and a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Strange and unusual humans with bizarre abilities occasionally appear in this town, and many people have asked them questions.

Over time, they also gained some understanding of evolution games and players.

Of course, it's just a superficial understanding; I only have a general idea.

This was the first time they had ever seen a player who could fly.
