Xie Tengfei's gaze was filled with undisguised contempt.
It seemed that the one pushing forward the Main Quest was that tattooed man named Zhan Lang.
Thinking of how Zhan Lang had once been at odds with him, Xie Tengfei's expression turned cold and ruthless in an instant.
It appeared that in this Game, the only person worthy of being called a rival was that man named Zhan Lang!
Lin Xun, adhering to the principle of "a dead teammate is better than a dead priest," had no hesitation in selling out Zhan Lang.
After all, what kind of person couldn't deal with a lone wolf like Zhan Lang?
Moreover, Zhan Lang already had a grudge against Xie Tengfei; Lin Xun was merely adding a little fuel to the fire of their already poor relationship.
"Do you have any clues about the Main Quest?" Xie Tengfei asked Lin Xun and Hua Tian.
Lin Xun looked puzzled. "Why don't you share your clues first?"
Xie Tengfei glanced at his teammates behind him.
Was this guy unable to see the situation clearly?
There were only 17 living people left in this Game.
Almost half of them were his teammates.
What confidence did this guy have, bringing along a delicate girl and speaking so boldly?
Moreover, this kid knocked someone out, repeated what Zhan Lang said, and casually laid down at the beginning of the game.
Could it be that he wasn't smart at all?
Instead, he was just a complete fool?
Thinking this way, everything seemed to make sense...
But Xie Tengfei remained polite: "We speculate that the 'it' mentioned in the Main Quest refers to an item. For some unknown reason, the BOSS appeared on the first day, but we still saw her dressed up."
"Dressed as a bride?"
Xie Tengfei nodded and then looked up towards Xie Ruyi's room on the third floor.
"Xie Ruyi is getting married, but to whom?" Xie Tengfei asked.
He glanced around at everyone on the first floor.
Yet no one answered him.
At that moment, Lin Xun spoke up: "Perhaps she is going to marry one of you?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the First Floor Hall shot him angry glares.
Including Hua Tian.
"What happened to this guy? Why is he suddenly silent? Wasn't he acting all clever before?"
"Do you think he's pretending to be confused or pretending to be smart?"
"I've already finished school, and you're still making me do reading comprehension? Seriously, do you have a serious illness up there?"
"What are you all looking at me for... I didn't say anything wrong... Isn't the plot just about auctioning off the first night of the Oiran? One of you is definitely going to become the guest of honor for the Oiran..."
Xie Tengfei's teammates, who initially had a bad expression, now looked pale as ghosts.
Each of them had seen the Oiran Ghost up close.
The overwhelming pressure from the Oiran Ghost, the pervasive killing intent, and the aura of murder surrounding her were enough to send chills down anyone's spine just by recalling it.
And Lin Xun actually said they should marry the Oiran Ghost.
Marry a ghost!
This was no longer a matter of life and death.
Marrying the Oiran Ghost was far more terrifying than dying!
Hua Tian tugged at Lin Xun's sleeve. "Stop talking..."
Lin Xun looked a bit wronged. "But that's how it's written in the plot... What can I do about it..."
The statement made everyone’s heart skip a beat.
Indeed.
They had already witnessed the grand appearance of the Oiran Ghost.
It was very likely, as Lin Xun had said, that someone would marry the Oiran Ghost.
But who would that lucky person be…?
Just as everyone was feeling anxious, Lu Ming spoke up.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean she will marry one of us; she could be marrying another character. We just haven’t found that character yet.”
Lu Ming’s words were like a calming pill for the group.
In fact, there was some resistance within Xie Tengfei's team towards this newly joined "partner."
Moreover, he had just joined and already gained Old Xie’s favor.
Yet now, Lu Ming’s statement became a source of reassurance for the entire team.
“Yes, yes! That must be it!”
Someone in the team echoed enthusiastically!
The others echoed Lu Ming's words like a chorus, their responses rising and falling within the group.
"By the way, this gentleman..." Lu Ming seemed to be meeting Lin Xun for the first time as he asked.
"My surname is Lin."
"Mr. Lin, may I ask what your profession is? I know the lady next to you is a Teacher."
Lin Xun opened his right hand, revealing his Identity Card to everyone.
This was to ensure that he wasn't lying.
Additionally, it would further solidify his silly persona!
The Identity Card, hidden in his right hand, flickered briefly before appearing in front of everyone.
"Is this guy stupid? He actually showed his Identity Card to others..." someone whispered.
The Identity Card displayed not only Lin Xun's identity but also his skills.
"Destitute Poet? N Card?" Lu Ming frowned.
He glanced again at Lin Xun's skill list.
A moment of relief washed over Lu Ming's face, though his expression remained mostly neutral. "Old Xie, we don't need these two..." A middle-aged man in his forties, portly and slow-moving, shuffled over to Xie Tengfei's side and whispered a word of caution.
Xie Tengfei's goal was to collect advanced professions and skills in order to successfully clear the game. However, the Destitute Poet and the Teacher were not advanced professions and would not contribute much to progressing through the game.
With a forced smile, Xie Tengfei remarked, "Your profession is quite unique..."
Lin Xun beamed with pride. "Of course!"
"I hope we can have a chance to collaborate in the future," Xie Tengfei said, his words carefully measured.
He subtly conveyed that he did not require Lin Xun and Hua Tian's participation.
"Why wait for the future? Right now! Isn't your team one member short?" Lin Xun replied casually.
Xie Tengfei was taken aback.
"How do you know?" Could it be that Lin Xun had been to the Changing Room?
In the Changing Room, Kui Gui was considered a Minor Boss; how could these two low-level professions possibly escape from Kui Gui's grasp?
Moreover, it seemed that neither of them bore any wounds.
Could it be that I misjudged Lin Xun again?
"I recognize a few faces from your team," Lin Xun said, pointing at Lu Ming.
"Aside from this person whom I've never seen before, I remember the others."
I see... Xie Tengfei felt somewhat relieved.
Strangely, why did I always have such expectations of Lin Xun?
"Where did this person go?"
Lin Xun actually wanted to probe into their reason for going to the Changing Room.
Who killed the dog in Summer Lotus?
If Xia He's dog was killed, anyone who entered the Summer Lotus room and received a task would die for failing to complete it!
Clearly, someone wanted to eliminate players from the Game.
"He left the team on his own accord because he disagreed with our principles."
When Xie Tengfei lied, he did so with such ease that no one could detect any flaws.
At that moment, Qiu Ning from Xie Tengfei's team unexpectedly broke through the crowd, disregarding the attempts of others to stop her.
"That's not true! He didn't leave the team on his own; he was captured by Kui Gui! He's still alive!"
Qiu Ning pushed through the crowd and ran to Lin Xun's side.
"Old Xie, I don't want to be your teammate anymore!"
[Qiu Ning has left your team.]
Lin Xun looked at Qiu Ning, who was visibly agitated.
Ah, this.
Could it be a betrayal?
He quickly stepped aside, distancing himself from Qiu Ning.
Before leaving, he made sure to give Hua Tian a knowing glance.
Sure enough, Hua Tian immediately took three steps to the side.
