Chapter 951 502: Survive Ten Days? More Like Ten Days of Havoc

"The first challenge is to survive ten days without leaving the apartment?" Gu Shanhai felt the information in his mind, his expression a bit strange.

He looked around at his surroundings, finding himself in an old, shabby apartment, and his identity was that of a programmer who had just been laid off.

"So if I die and resurrect... Oh, it doesn't count, I thought dying and coming back would count, turns out dying means failing the challenge."

Gu Shanhai had just thought about exploiting a bug, but got feedback that made him chuckle to himself.

Besides that, there was also a reward, which is called "The Self-Growth of the World", yes, a book on how the world should develop and grow.

It's already in the account.

"Is it really so generous? So I can get the reward without beating the challenge, just by reaching the level?" Gu Shanhai said, glancing at the book in his hand with a slightly strange expression.

He could be sure that this reward activity and its organizers were definitely not from "The First Era", but likely a joint effort of many entities and forces.

He directly stuffed the book into the Four Saints Beasts System. Don't be fooled by its thin appearance, the content is actually extremely extensive, and it's not the time to read it now, better wait for a bit.

Upon exiting, Shura and Da Tianwei were living right next door, Shura on the left and Da Tianwei second to the left.

Da Tianwei came out first, while Shura seemed to still be rummaging through something in the room.

"A programmer optimized out, and you?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"Me? I'm an artist optimized out by AI." Da Tianwei did not hide it, since they were teammates.

Soon, Shura also came out. With his abilities, he could naturally hear their conversation, so he joined in, "A recent graduate, sales for a major company."

"So the three of us are the unemployed alliance, huh." Gu Shanhai quipped.

"What do you think of the current situation?" Da Tianwei directly asked Shura, knowing that Shura was very good at gathering intelligence.

"I think we've encountered a rule-based eerie level this time, should've sought out Mr. Qin for some intel back then." Shura said straightforwardly.

"Are you even afraid of these? This is like a fish taking to water for you." Gu Shanhai smiled, not being too blunt.

"But I'm not sure what relevance this world has to me." Shura came here to get stronger, the reward is one thing, but the instance's task is the main deal.

While the three were talking, they heard footsteps approaching, the sound echoing eerily in the corridor.

"Based on my speculation, it's a woman's high-heeled shoes, but the noise doesn't match the other's weight, should I try my physical exorcism?" Gu Shanhai said, pulling out a nuclear missile from his pocket.

On top of the missile was a large blinking eyeball, seemingly alive.

"Your nuclear missile sounds more eerie than high heels, and could you stop pulling out indiscriminate attack items? I'm afraid you'll take us out first," Da Tianwei glanced at the nuclear missile in Gu Shanhai's hand, its power undeniable, but they would also get hurt.

To be fair, Gu Shanhai's physical exorcism proved quite effective, the footsteps stopped immediately.

"I just wanted to intimidate a bit, see, it's gone now." Gu Shanhai tucked the missile back into his pocket.

"Let me guess, do you have some equipment called the Rogue's Pocket Space...?" Da Tianwei looked at Gu Shanhai's smooth moves and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yeah, and it's heavily reinforced, enhanced." Gu Shanhai teased back.

"Could you two stop talking about all sorts of random stuff, how are your mouths getting chattier?" Shura wondered about this strange synergy the two had.

"By the way, want some spicy hot pot tonight? I found some duck blood curds," Gu Shanhai suddenly said.

Both of them were stunned at first, then noticed a dried puddle of blood gathering on the floor not far away, which hadn't been there earlier. While the three were chatting in the corridor, it suddenly appeared.

"It's dry, a bit rough to chew, I want something fresh." Da Tianwei didn't mind.

Shura, prompted by a text reminder, looked at the blood and had a hunch.

"I can't shake the feeling something's off, this thing looks scared." Shura squatted and poked at the dried blood.

Under the three's gaze, the blood began to tremble, revealing emotions of fear.

"Hey, it looks fun, let me touch it." Da Tianwei seemed to have discovered something amusing, showing a slightly twisted expression.

Gu Shanhai was pondering why this dried blood had more than one point of view, seemingly like some kind of livestream?

"Ah~"

As Da Tianwei had just started touching it, the blood emitted a sharp sound.

Then with a slap, a lot of blood fell from the ceiling, continuously tumbling to escape.

"Damn, trying to run." Da Tianwei's body surged with ink-black Netherworld aura, pouncing to press it on the ground. The blood struggled in his hands, but in vain.

"Quick, set up the pot!"

Da Tianwei had heard of Gu Shanhai's culinary skills, he's famously among the top lifestyle players in the first echelon, so definitely skilled.
