Weird Game: I Use Mystery to Fight Mystery

Chapter 43 The Pillars of Humanity in the Future

"Thank goodness, boss, you're alright."

Outside the village, the others were already there, but they didn't rush to leave the instance until they saw Ye Tian emerge unharmed.

Only then did I feel at ease.

The young man with long hair and a somewhat sinister demeanor had already dismounted from Zhao Hu's back.

Although somewhat weak.

But he still stood up.

He looked at Ye Tian very seriously and said.

"Thank you so much for saving me. I will never forget this kindness."

"It's nothing!"

Seeing the other person's serious expression, Ye Tian simply shook his head.

It was just a matter of course, and what's more, the other party's talent for summoning and controlling the strange snakes seemed strangely familiar to Ye Tian. Ten years later, when humanity faced the strange creatures, they were already completely defeated.

The reason they were able to hold on was entirely due to the few pillars of humanity they had at the time.

One of them possesses the talent to control the serpent, and is known as the Teng Snake.

But then I realized it was impossible. Back then, Tengshe had a buzz cut and looked very capable.

The appearance of the long-haired, gloomy man in front of her was completely different.

It's probably just a coincidence; they just have similar talents.

"Your mental state has been affected. Go back and rest well. Don't think about entering the dungeon again for a while. If you level up in the future, you should focus your attribute points on your mental state."

Most human players prefer to stack strength in the early game and also pay attention to constitution attributes.

But when facing the bizarre, mental attributes are the most important.

Ye Tian was not stingy with such casual tips.

"I understand, thank you."

Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, the other party's eyes lit up slightly, and he seriously agreed.

"Um!"

This person listens to advice.

Looking at the others, Ye Tian said something simple.

"Level 5 dungeons aren't too difficult, but there are still situations like today where traps are deliberately left behind. If you want to enter them again in the future, you'd better be careful."

Done.

Ye Tian decided not to waste any more time and chose to leave the instance.

"Boss!"

Zhao Hu and the others didn't have time to say anything. Originally, Bai Yuzhu wanted to add contact information.

Let's keep in touch later.

"A true master is a master, so cool."

"Do you guys think that 'big shot' is actually that anonymous guy online? Otherwise, how would he know so much about the dungeon?"

"That's impossible, there's no way it could be such a coincidence."

"I was just saying."

Listen to these conversations.

Bai Yuzhu seemed to be thinking about something, and a thought flashed in her eyes.

"Let's exchange contact information. Maybe we can do a dungeon together sometime in the future?"

"Sure!"

No one refused.

After all, although this dungeon was somewhat dangerous, the experience actually strengthened their mutual trust.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

They noticed that the man controlling the snake was swaying slightly.

Zhao Hu, who was standing next to him, instinctively raised his hand to support him.

"It's alright, I just need to go back and rest for a bit."

"That's good."

I had just nodded when I was hit in the face by the other person's long hair.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Spitting the hair out of his mouth, Zhao Hu said speechlessly.

"Your hair is so long. I was thinking of saying this when I was carrying you on my back. It was hanging down on my neck and it was so itchy that I almost burst out laughing."

These words made the other person smile sheepishly.

"Sorry, I've been staying home a lot and haven't gone out much. I'm planning to get a buzz cut from now on."

"Yeah, that's true, the buzz cut gives it a certain spirit."

,,,

the other side.

After leaving the instance, Ye Tian hopped on his electric scooter and headed to find the next instance.

"It's a pity, it would be great if we could run the dungeon repeatedly."

Except for special instances where you can re-enter using an admission ticket.

Once a player completes a dungeon of this level once, they can't enter it again. Otherwise, they could find a lower difficulty and shorter dungeon and repeatedly enter it to max out their level. Wouldn't that be awesome?

I don't know if it's to prevent players from taking advantage of such loopholes.

This is probably to prevent such a situation.

Just as I was lost in thought.

Ye Tian had already found other instances, so he skillfully stopped his electric scooter and went straight in.

Leveling up.

,,,

When I got home.

It's evening again.

I ordered takeout. It's been a long time since I've cooked in my own kitchen; I'm too lazy to even cook instant noodles.

Fortunately, some restaurants were still open outside, otherwise Ye Tian would have had to rely on instant noodles to survive.

"After a while, the dungeon will probably start spawning food that humans can eat."

Ye Tian remembered.

Soon after, many edible foods began to appear in the eerie dungeon. Not only were they edible, but some were even precious and could increase one's attributes after consumption.

These are all key to strengthening one's capabilities in the early stages.

"If I remember correctly, there are some weird vendors in one of the dungeons who specialize in selling these things."

"Which instance was it again? I need to think about it carefully."

Before sleep.

Ye Tian even took out his phone and scrolled through it.

Currently, besides discussions about contractors, the most discussed topic online is the ranking system, since it's a new thing and everyone finds it novel.

"Holy crap, did you guys notice? The second-ranked saint jumped from level five to level seven!"

"I just realized, so fast?"

"It hasn't been that long, and he's already leveled up twice. He'll probably be number one soon."

"Who is this saint? He seems really powerful."

"Wow, how did you guys level up so fast? I'm still only level one."

『...』

After hearing that,

Ye Tian also noticed the changes in the ranking list.

The ranking list is updated in real time. Once someone reaches level seven, the ranking list changes.

"Is it you?"

Ye Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the title of Saint ranked second.

In the early years of the eerie game, the title of "Saint" was indeed unparalleled, dominating the top of the level rankings for a long time, and many people regarded him as an object of worship.

We waited until the very end.

The Saint's identity as a contractor was only recently revealed. The seemingly glamorous Saint had actually been using his worshippers, sacrificing them to the contract in a bizarre way.

It was later exposed.

They even chose to defect to the supernatural.

The reason why humans were at a disadvantage when they first clashed with the supernatural was inseparable from the defection of the saints.

"This time, I won't give you that chance."

Contractors are untrustworthy.

But those who directly choose to defect to the supernatural must die.

That is, right now.

Ye Tian had no idea what kind of place this saint was in. Otherwise, he would have killed him beforehand. Knowing that the other party was a menace, why would he keep him alive? Wouldn't that be just plain stupid?

"Perhaps we can try to find a solution through Liu Su."

With the support of the mysterious investigation team of the Human Federation, finding someone shouldn't be too difficult.
