Chapter 960 506: Hollow Out the Cement in the Walls—Stuff Them All with Explosives!

Perhaps by continuously surviving in the All Ghosts Survival Platform, one could become the most top-tier monster, but such monsters are as rare as top-tier players in the "First Era". Even these monsters, upon entering the human world, are also seeking survival rather than going on a rampage; it's called the All Ghosts Survival Platform for a reason.

So no matter how powerful a monster is, entering the human world leaves them with little resistance, making it a despairing world for monsters.

Gu Shanhai suspects that if this continues, one day, throwing a person into the Ghost World might cause a huge catastrophe.

In the eyes of humans, monsters are nothing more than small pastries, erasers, or bits of paper. Gather so many types of things together, and it's not a general store, but a junkyard.

"This is really a role reversal. If Mr. Qin knows about this world, he probably won't stop coming to play every few days." Shura was both amused and exasperated.

Mr. Qin, who mainly goes for bizarre genres, had similar treatment initially, but in recent times, as he became powerful, the puzzle-solving stages have lessened significantly, and he directly uses weirdness to counter weirdness, relying solely on strength.

Thus, the frustration has been reduced a lot.

"Wait a minute, if they're leaving tomorrow night, won't we have seven days left? How do we handle that?" Gu Shanhai was a bit troubled at the thought of not having fun for seven days.

"We'll deal with tomorrow's matters tomorrow. Why don't we find an excuse to eat all the remaining monsters?" The Heavenly Peak didn't even consider tomorrow's affairs; he lived for the moment, worried that if they really left, they'd have nothing to eat.

"Is your information reliable?" Shura pondered. If these monsters are indeed completing their tasks and leaving tomorrow, they can't let them go without putting them in the pot first.

"Absolutely reliable!"

"You can count on me to act."

The Heavenly Peak confidently asserted; this was the result of heart-to-heart talks with all the monsters in the apartment.

"But if their task is to survive for three days, then our survival for ten days shouldn't have been issued by the All Ghosts Survival Platform." Gu Shanhai added, before continuing: "Therefore, it's highly likely that after this batch of monsters leaves, new ones will come to survive."

"So, hot pot tonight?"

Gu Shanhai abruptly shifted the topic to food.

"Sure, I'll go bring the monsters up later."

"If your guess is correct, doesn't that mean we can eat a couple more batches of monsters?"

"And what about the extra day? Surely they wouldn't give us an extra day for no reason." The Heavenly Peak stated that he would bring the monsters up later, but also raised a question.

He knew that as a newbie instance, the Garden Apartment certainly couldn't be left empty; the All Ghosts Survival Platform would just keep sending batches of monsters.

So if it's a three-day cycle, their survival for ten days resulted in an extra day.

This led the Heavenly Peak to keenly detect something amiss, which Shura also noticed, just not as quickly as the Heavenly Peak.

As for Gu Shanhai, he didn't care about such things at all; he was all about messing around and finding fun, ready to run if things went south, quite flexible.

So even if he knew, it didn't really change anything.

"We need to see if on the ninth night, the All Ghosts Survival Platform sends any more monsters. If they do, it's likely just a matter of timing, but if not, then we should be cautious." Shura shared his own thoughts.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough information, and his text alerts weren't clear.

His text alerts were essentially like simulations and explorations, based on himself, unable to conjure up unknowns, much like a kaleidoscopic simulator. In essence, they were a combination of cause and effect, prophecy, heavenly secrets, and so on.

There were limitations, and when faced with entities like Gu Shanhai and the silent eye of death that were beyond his specifications, they couldn't be effective. In Shura's abilities, the All Ghosts Survival Platform could be explored but not entirely, requiring sufficient information to present a final deduction result.

This led to Shura only having a half-understanding.

The main issue was that this world's energy level was too high, far exceeding Shura's current strength. Otherwise, for a world matching his level, he could still dominate.

"What do you think?" Shura turned to Gu Shanhai, although Gu Shanhai was always up to something, his strength was undeniable.

"Just sit and watch, what else can you do." Gu Shanhai yawned, not too concerned.

"Could it be something wrong with the apartment? After all, assigning us here must have some inherent meaning." The Heavenly Peak speculated.

"Are you an idiot? The entire apartment has bombs placed everywhere except for the load-bearing and wall skins, and you think there'd be something unnoticed?" Shura scoffed.

"Oh, that makes sense." The Heavenly Peak realized, now knowing that these walls weren't cement, but genuine explosives.

Filling the whole apartment with bombs isn't much different from flipping it upside down.

"Right now, it probably can't be detected; the biggest likelihood is that it will reveal itself on the tenth day." Gu Shanhai hadn't found any issues.

The whole apartment, apart from the Air Wall, consisted of monsters and rooms with protection rules provided by the All Ghosts Survival Platform, with no problems at all otherwise.

Regarding human perceptions of monsters, this wasn't an abnormal phenomenon but a regular one.

Like humans going to survive in bizarre worlds, the bizarre see humans as food, and humans in this world see monsters as clutter, simply due to world differences.

"Then I guess we have to wait."

"If new rookie monsters are sent tomorrow night, do we plan to raise them first or eat them all at once?" Shura asked.

"I think it's best to prioritize observation and eat less, like three per day." The Heavenly Peak thought it best to play it safe.

"If we ate all the monsters in the first day, would the All Ghosts Survival Platform seamlessly send more for us?" Gu Shanhai suddenly thought of this.

The two couldn't help but feel tempted; this seemed promising.

If indeed they could annihilate a batch and immediately have another sent over, it'd be like a buffet.

"Gulp..." The Heavenly Peak swallowed, having been too poor, he was eager to seize this rare opportunity: "Why don't we give it a try with the next batch."

"Forget about the next batch, let's just do it with this one." Shura didn't hesitate at all.

"They might send them, but at a fixed time, most likely at night. So even if we eat this batch, more wouldn't be sent immediately, but at midnight." Gu Shanhai speculated that the replenishing probability was high, but the timing would be regulated.

"If that's the case, then with seven days remaining, even excluding the last day, we can still eat six more batches." The Heavenly Peak thought Gu Shanhai's guess wasn't off.

Shura's text alerts also gave a similar approximation.

"Don't be overly optimistic. If too many die and the All Ghosts Survival Platform gets shelved, won't that be a disaster?"

"After all, there's not just the Garden Apartment as a newbie instance."

Shura reminded them, as a platform, there would surely be related early-warning mechanisms, unlikely to infinitely send monsters. Once deaths reach a certain threshold, self-checks, and cold storage might occur.

"We only have seven days to complete this challenge, so there's no need to be overly cautious. Just keep things within limits." Gu Shanhai naturally had similar guesses. Compared to Shura, he was more nonchalant, thinking even if all seven days brought new monsters, it would only amount to seventy.

This number, compared to the total monster count, was a vast difference, and besides, the Garden Apartment's death rate was already high, with total annihilation being commonplace.
