Cheng Shuili was a bit concerned about this number; it was the shortest dungeon duration the system had ever provided, right?
“Should I trust the system for our own good, or trust that I am Qin Shi Huang? Send money! I’ll appoint you as the Great General Defending the Nation!”
“Lunch isn’t actually that important, though. Why not make the time a bit longer?”
The system turned a deaf ear to everyone’s protests, and one could even say it was quite pleased to see them.
【Important Notice: This dungeon carries a risk of death! Proceed with caution.】
【The highest difficulty level for this dungeon is Hell-level, and the lowest is Normal-level! Each difficulty is randomly assigned based on the Wealth and Mileage Leaderboards! Survivors, please prepare yourselves!】
Cheng Shuili perked up; it had finally gotten to the point.
【Dungeon Details: Feast】
【Description: You have stepped into a brightly lit orc palace. The long table is piled high with rotting delicacies and moldy mead, and hungry orc nobles are staring at you with scarlet eyes... Guess, what exactly is the main course of today’s magnificent banquet?】
Rotting delicacies, moldy mead.
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes. To be honest, regarding this description, her first reaction was that these orcs were going to eat people again.
With ten minutes left until the dungeon opened, Cheng Shuili sent a message to Chen Qingshan.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】: Trade? Fix a vehicle for me.
Cheng Shuili kept the private chat page open and waited for a while, but she was surprised not to receive a reply from Chen Qingshan.
She frowned and opened the regional channel to take a look.
“The hints in this dungeon’s description are too strong! Of course, that might just be because of recent experiences, but why do I feel like these orcs are going to eat people?”
“They’re definitely going to eat people! And they’re staring at me! So terrifying!”
“Come to think of it, three hours is just about the right amount of time for a banquet. Is that a hint for something?”
“What kind of hint? A hint for us to be eaten? Haha, everyone, I think I’m practically dead already. Maybe the orcs should just go back to robbing us; I really can’t handle this unknown fear anymore.”
“Are people really such a delicious thing? Why does everyone love to eat them so much?”
Cheng Shuili suddenly raised a hand to cover her eyes. To be honest, these people did have a bit of a sense of humor.
But when it came to serious matters, they were, if not entirely useless, then completely ineffective.
She opened her eyes gently, her eyelashes brushing against her palms.
What was the last thing the system said?
Guess? Who is the main character?
Since it’s a banquet, the main character is naturally the food.
The orc nobles are the guests attending the banquet, while the players—like Cheng Shuili and her team—are equivalent to outsiders.
Cheng Shuili suddenly felt like she had grasped a clue. Since the main character is food, she should bring some food into this dungeon; it might come in handy if something happens.
The only person as unbothered as Cheng Shuili on this side was likely Luo Dazhuang, who went by the alias 【No Man's Land】.
He watched the impotent rage of the people on the regional channel with satisfaction, watching them clamor to kill him while being completely unable to find his real ID.
He couldn’t help but tilt his head back and laugh a few times, looking at the comments on the regional channel that were either angry or speechless, and mocked them: “A bunch of idiots! I’ve been playing them all morning and they still don’t know who I am!”
The more Luo Dazhuang watched, the more excited he became. Occasionally, he would see one or two intense insults, but he would simply ignore them.
What could happen from being cursed at a couple of times?
If they were capable, they could find his ID and Highway Merge him, right? Could these people even find him?
A bunch of losers.
When he saw someone say, “Unless the Crow comes out to say,” his smile faltered slightly.
But the moment he thought that perhaps the Crow was also among the crowd he was fooling, Luo Dazhuang became excited all over again!
So what if she’s ranked first?
Isn’t she just a loser like all these other people?
Who can find him now? Who can kill him?
Luo Dazhuang raised his hand and quickly scrolled down several pages, secretly hoping in his heart to see a message from the Crow.
It would be best if she were cursing...
That would just prove that this top-ranked player was nothing special and was also being played in the palm of his hand!
Unfortunately... he scrolled to the end and didn’t see any message from the Crow.
Luo Dazhuang’s face darkened, and he cursed under his breath.
His eyeballs rolled around in their sockets, and just as he was planning to go back to the regional channel to find some amusement, a loud noise suddenly echoed in his ears.
“Bang!”
“Bang, bang!”
It was the door!
Something was smashing his door!
A chill ran down Luo Dazhuang’s spine, and his legs had already gone soft from fear. The loud bangs came one after another, and he couldn’t even distinguish what was smashing the door, but the vehicle door had already begun to warp and buckle.
How could there be a monster here now?
He widened his eyes, finally recovering from his stiff state. He reached out and fumbled several times before he managed to grasp the dagger he had placed on the table.
This was his only self-defense weapon.
Actually, Luo Dazhuang had a pistol tucked into the inner pocket of his chest, but he had luckily seen a monster’s reaction to being attacked by a pistol once—those monsters were immune...
Firearms were just scrap metal in front of the monsters!
The only thing that could be used was this dagger!
But the guy outside was capable of smashing a vehicle door into a warped mess...
Luo Dazhuang sucked in a breath of cold air and pulled a Designated Player Duel Card out from the inner pocket of his chest.
He treasured this thing greatly, but if he wanted to survive now, he had no choice but to use it to initiate a Highway Merge with another player.
He clutched the card and hesitated for a while over the choice of target. Just as he finally selected the safest possible target...
The severely deformed door suddenly collapsed with a boom.
In the next second, a long-handled hammer fell from above and slammed heavily onto his body.
...
Five minutes before the dungeon opened, Ailin finally had some news.
【Ailin】：Boss! He confessed!
Why did it sound like she had interrogated him under torture?
Cheng Shuili shook her head. How could she say such a thing? They were civilized people.
She thought this in her heart, but the words she typed were very honest.
【Angry Crow Takes Flight】：Confessed what? How did he confess?
【Ailin】：He said he was going to bring compressed biscuits inside to hand over to the orc NPC. He said at least three packs, so I suspect that the Normal-level requires three packs. Boss, you should bring a bit more.
It actually matched Cheng Shuili’s guess.
【Ailin】：As for how he confessed... that guy was completely scared silly. He didn’t open his mouth even after I gave him a swing with the long-handled hammer, but he gave in after I broke three of his fingers. He had some perseverance, but not much.
What?
A hammer? A swing?
Cheng Shuili was stunned. She only knew that Ailin had obtained a long-handled hammer a few days ago and knew that Ailin liked this weapon very much.
But she didn’t know Ailin used the hammer in actual combat!
Not to mention whether Ailin was being a bit brutal, was she really sure the other party wasn’t willing to speak? He was probably half-dead after being swung at!
Cheng Shuili shivered. It was fortunate that Ailin had only obtained the hammer recently; if it had been back then...
