Ye Tianxuan entered this instance to help Yin Xiu, but he was separated from the group and couldn't help at all.
The situation there is so serious now that he has to go there as soon as possible.
Stepping into the school cafeteria, one finds it crowded with students. It's currently the end of the school term, and many students are gathered here to eat dinner before heading back to their dormitories.
As soon as Ye Tianxuan entered, many players rushed over, asking, "Boss Ye, where did you just go?"
"I found something." Ye Tianxuan casually tossed the student handbook in his hand to the person who spoke, then looked up at the other players in the cafeteria.
His smoke in this instance only keeps the player alert and aware that the weird students are dangerous and that they will not become part of them, but it does not restore cognition or cause physical changes.
After Ye Tianxuan discovered that the infirmary had medicine that could restore health, he cooperated with some of the players who were still conscious to rob the infirmary. They brought back a large amount of medicine and stuffed it into the mouths of any abnormal players they passed by until they recovered.
Players in the instance are infected every moment; a person who is intact in the morning becomes a strange shape in the afternoon.
The players kept an eye on each other, and if anyone acted strangely, they would give them drugs. They helped each other out, and before they knew it, they had formed a small organization.
As the key figure who kept them clear-headed, Ye Tianxuan was naturally also known as Boss Ye, and became an important person in discussing plans.
"Holy crap, the student handbook! Where did you get this? We searched the whole school and couldn't find it." The person who received the handbook was shocked, and their gaze towards Ye Tianxuan became even more admiring.
"They're all on the strange student's body, you definitely won't find them." Ye Tianxuan smiled faintly and waved his hand, passing the players.
The players remained conscious, and the strange students were helpless, so much so that they could not get close to the player group. In the entire cafeteria, they were squeezed into a corner by the players and could only stare at Ye Tianxuan silently as a background.
Under the watchful eyes of the strange students, Ye Tianxuan placed a chair on the front table of the cafeteria, then stepped onto the table and sat on the high chair in full view of everyone. He then took out a cigarette case from his pocket, casually crossed his legs, and sat back in the chair fiddling with the cigarette case.
He sat in such a conspicuous spot that everyone's attention was naturally drawn to him, knowing full well that he was about to say something important.
"Tomorrow will be the fifth day in the instance." Ye Tianxuan looked down at all the players below and said slowly, "Currently, we have learned about the background of the instance and the survival rules."
"The dungeon we're in isn't too polluted, and we can survive until graduation with potions, so clearing it shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Tianxuan's definitive conclusion was far more credible than others', and upon hearing his words, the players immediately felt relieved.
Then, Ye Tianxuan continued, "So, you should continue to clear the level as it is now. I have some other things to do tonight and will be leaving here to go to another space. You'll have to work hard on your own from now on."
"Boss Ye, are you going to the space where your friend is?" someone asked. It was clear that Ye Tianxuan had stabilized the situation before leaving, but the players were still a little uneasy without him.
"Yes." Ye Tianxuan nodded calmly.
Originally, after Li Mo tested out the method to enter Yin Xiu's space, he should have gone there immediately. However, after considering the situation here, he stayed for two days to search for information and medicine to restore consciousness. He managed to restore the consciousness of most players and ensure that they could clear the game before planning to go to Yin Xiu's place.
"But didn't you say that the space he's in is very dangerous? The level of pollution is far greater than here. It's very dangerous for you to go there." The players were somewhat worried, and their reactions clearly showed that they didn't want him to go.
If we can hold our own in this instance, who knows how dangerous a secluded space might be?
"That's nothing." Ye Tianxuan slowly raised his eyes and looked at them with a smile. "I've already helped you, people I don't even know, so it's even less likely that I'd abandon my friend. I have to go no matter how dangerous it is, right?"
Since he had said that, the players couldn't say anything more. In any case, Ye Tianxuan had helped them salvage the situation. Now, the player group had basically maintained their human form and knew how to extend their lives. He had done everything he could, and it was none of their business if he left.
"Then you need to be careful, Boss Ye."
"Do you need some self-defense items before you go? Or is there anything we can do to help you?"
"I won't need any props, but before I go to his space, there's something I really need everyone's help with." Ye Tianxuan smiled and looked at everyone. "It's a small favor for you all."
"Brother Ye, just say the word! I'll help you with anything, big or small!"
"Yes, yes, go ahead and tell me. If it weren't for you, I would be a monster by now!"
"Go ahead and say it!"
The players were incredibly enthusiastic, a stark contrast to the eerie students with their gloomy eyes lurking in the corner. They didn't feel as stifled as they did with Yin Xiu.
The monsters in both spaces are from the same group. Yin Xiu was able to use the excuse of severe pollution to chat with him, and although he was eventually eaten, he still had a good time for the first few days. Ye Tianxuan, on the other hand, was very frustrated because anyone who tried to pollute him would get slapped twice and then be scolded before coming back.
Having lived in the underworld for many years, I've never been proven wrong before. This was a completely new experience, and once I tried it, I never wanted to go again.
It was fine when he was alone; no one bothered him. But when he taught all the players to do the same, they stopped listening to him altogether. Before they could even open their mouths, they were slapped on the face with some excuse, making them grit their teeth in anger.
As a result, the strange students now don't want to talk to these players at all.
Clear the gate as soon as possible and get out of here.
As they were grumbling, they saw Ye Tianxuan, sitting in a chair, raise his beautiful blue eyes and look at them in a very gentle and harmless manner in the corner.
The students shuddered inexplicably, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.
Sure enough, the handsome, fragile, and ruthless man raised his slender fingers and pointed to them in the corner, smiling gently as he said, "I need your help to tie all these students up, to make sure none of them can leave the dormitory at night. The tighter the better."
The players' attention immediately turned to the strange students, and they were all eager to get started.
"Since it's Boss Ye's order, this little thing will definitely be fine."
"Anyway, the monsters during the day aren't aggressive. Let's tie them up before it gets dark so we'll be safe at night."
"That's right, that's right! While Boss Ye is still here and they can't affect our consciousness, let's quickly tie them all up!"
Faced with a group of eager players, the strange students were filled with confusion.
Huh? This is inside a dungeon! Are there still any tricks or deceptions?
