At the very least, the task should have been triggered.
“By the way,” the boy winked at the little wolf and said with a smile, “When I got home today, I felt like there was someone in your room.”
The person called Little Wolf frowned, but his tone was somewhat disdainful: "Someone? How could that be? Are you joking, or are you seeing things?"
“I’m sure I didn’t see wrong,” the boy said confidently. “I felt like someone looked at me through the peephole. But when I went over there, there was no sound at all.”
"You're just too sensitive, neurotic." The little wolf shook his head: "If anyone dares to sneak into my house and I find out, I'll kill them!"
Upon hearing this, the female player in 209, who was hiding under the bed, immediately jumped up.
She finally saw her roommate return.
She had no idea whether her roommate, who had just heard the rumors, would come in and conduct a thorough search of the room.
If that's the case, she'll probably have to reveal her trump card.
The kind female player's face contorted in disbelief; her daring to enter an A-level dungeon was definitely not due to luck.
After pushing open the door, the little wolf didn't turn on the lights immediately, but instead plopped down on the bed.
Then he fell asleep immediately, and his deafening snoring was so loud that even Lu Shi could hear it clearly.
Lu Shi was feeling very complicated. What was going on? Did everyone's roommate have a hidden difficulty?
It was obvious that the guy on the other side, number 206, seemed carefree and easy to deal with.
His roommate, upon hearing the snoring from across the hall, even chuckled.
"With such a big heart, you wouldn't even know if you were sold out one day."
Just as Lu Shi had expected, he walked to the bedside table.
"What's that?" The boy sat down on the edge of the bed, swinging his legs to relax. His naturally drooping gaze happened to fall on the plush toy peeking out from the gap between the bedside table and the wall.
He bent down and picked up the plush toy from the crevice without hesitation.
"It fell here?" The boy examined the toy closely. "I have no recollection of it at all. That's strange!"
Lu Shi quietly watched the other person's legs, which had stopped shaking. He couldn't guarantee that he could fool his roommate.
"Forget it!" The boy obviously didn't want to damage his brain cells over such a trivial matter. He threw the plush toy onto the bedside table and then fell onto the bed with a thud.
However, the boy didn't fall asleep as quickly as the little wolf. He just turned on his phone and randomly opened a short video app.
"Today I'm going to teach you a dish called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall..."
The boy crossed it out expressionlessly.
"Welcome to my live stream! Let's get moving together!"
Cross it out again.
"It's late, how about we listen to a ghost story?"
The boy's hand finally stopped scrolling and remained on the page.
Lu Shi was much calmer now, because just now, he had triggered a mission.
"Seven days from now, Good Family Apartments will strictly abide by the regulations and crack down on single-room sharing!"
"Players are required to ensure that there is only one resident in your room seven days from now."
The task was clear: he needed to survive in this apartment for seven days.
Based on my experience so far, this task isn't that difficult.
However, the second point is difficult: ensuring that there is only one resident in the room.
"Are you asking us to kill our other roommate?"
This was Lu Shi's first thought after reading the mission.
However, considering the apartment rules they had read, Lu Shi did not think this was a wise move.
Moreover, these seemingly ordinary roommates certainly wouldn't be killed so easily.
Most importantly, Lu Shi and Ye Bugui need to obtain the pollutants.
Therefore, what they are pursuing is to complete the storyline, and even then, to achieve 100% exploration.
While the boy was listening to short videos and Lu Shi was lost in thought, the other players' roommates also went home one after another.
However, everyone's expression and demeanor have changed now because all seven of them have just triggered the mission.
Just like Lu Shi thought, almost everyone's first thought after receiving the mission was to kill their roommate.
For players, no matter how normal their roommate looks, they are just NPCs.
If they can't get through the level, they will face death.
Faced with their own death, these players wouldn't care about the life or death of these NPCs.
"So you want me to kill you." The purple-haired woman curled her lips into a smile, and her hair suddenly began to split.
The split ends of her hair started to grow endlessly, and while her roommate was still watching TV, he didn't even notice a single hair quietly crawling out from under the bed.
"Killing my roommate will stop bothering them, and they won't find out..."
The woman wearing sunglasses slowly recalled the apartment rules, then was surprised to find that all her current troubles could be solved simply by killing her roommate.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't tempted, but unfortunately, her character cards lacked any offensive capabilities.
Her roommate was sitting on the edge of the bed making a phone call, and every time he kicked his foot off the bed, the woman would gasp nervously, afraid that she would be accidentally kicked.
If I kill them, I won't have to hide under the bed every day, right?
The woman was unaware that she had been completely tempted to kill her roommate.
The roommates of these players were clearly unaware that not only was a stranger hiding under their beds, but also someone who could kill them at any moment.
My roommate in room 206 was the last one to go home.
When Ye Bugui heard footsteps at the door, his first reaction was to be moved.
A pair of leather shoes came into view. Ye Bugui raised an eyebrow. Was he not a college student, but a corporate slave?
The owner of the leather shoes, with unsteady steps, swayed and staggered as he sat down at the table.
"He must be drunk," Ye Bugui guessed.
He naturally saw the mission as well. If it was just to clear the level, Ye Bugui could have easily taken advantage of his roommate's drunkenness to ambush it.
However, Ye Bugui thought the same as Lu Shi: he wanted to complete the game in story mode. Killing his roommate was definitely not a wise choice.
Moreover, he deeply suspected that if these players looked down on their roommates and acted on their own, the final result would probably not be good.
Ye Bugui chose to wait, and soon he heard his roommate pick up his phone:
"I'm not going back to the dorm today, you don't need to wait for me."
"He's still a student after all," Ye Bugui thought.
"Yeah, I usually work part-time there. It's not too bad, not that tiring, but you get forced to drink a lot of alcohol."
"As for me, I'm already used to it. I just need to throw up halfway through."
After hanging up the phone, the roommate still didn't go to bed. Instead, he took a book out of his briefcase and started studying under the light.
Ye Bugui realized that perhaps he hadn't been in the game for too long and had become accustomed to the ordinary yet busy life in the real world.
He had a very good impression of his roommate, who worked hard to support himself through school and never forgot to study even after working overtime.
If asked to kill the other party, Ye Bugui doubted he could bring himself to do it.
You should know that he used to be someone who prioritized clearing dungeons above all else and was indifferent to NPCs, never even glancing at them.
Curled up under the bed, Ye Bugui quietly changed his position and couldn't help but wonder when he had changed.
Once the mission was announced, it was clear that tonight would be anything but peaceful.
Apart from Lu Shi and Ye Bugui, the other five players have quickly confirmed their methods for clearing the game.
But since everyone here is a player who dares to challenge A-level dungeons, it's impossible for them to just rush in and charge in without knowing anything about their "roommate".
Everyone is cautiously testing the waters in their own way.
The purple-haired woman's long hair silently spread across half of the bed, looking like a row of small purple snakes lying on the bed.
However, the roommate, engrossed in watching TV, was completely unaware that he was in danger.
On the television, the host was telling a not-so-funny joke, while three guests who looked rather foolish were playing along perfectly.
"What kind of lousy programs are these!" My roommate reached for the remote control behind him, but when he turned around, the hair that was swirling on the bed disappeared instantly.
The purple-haired woman was stroking the first split hair, which was now burnt.
"How could that be?" The purple-haired woman frowned. She hadn't said she had voluntarily pulled her hair back. Rather, her hair had sensed danger and retracted in advance.
But the purple-haired woman had complete faith in her hair. If even her hair felt dangerous, then it meant that her roommate, who was overweight and constantly ate junk food, was actually quite dangerous.
She lay on the bed in despair, staring at the bed frame. The only time she could think of to make a move was after her roommate fell asleep.
She also saw this opportunity in the kind-looking lady.
"I'm really lucky." The female player's previously furrowed brows relaxed again, and she opened her palm, where a scarecrow doll was now on it.
The little wolf's snoring continued. If he didn't die, the female player suspected that she would be bothered by his snoring all night and wouldn't be able to sleep at all!
She mustered her courage and quietly crawled out. In the dark room, pressed against the floor, she seemed to blend into the darkness.
Golden Hall
Of the seven players who entered "Good Family Apartment" this time, all of them except Ye Bugui were in the Golden Hall.
Since this is a new instance, each live stream has a large number of viewers.
However, the most popular streamer right now is the stream of that kind-looking female player.
Besides being the first player to take the initiative, it was also because of the scarecrow doll she had just revealed.
"I knew I'd never seen this face before! Turns out the witch doctor has changed her face again!"
"Not only did she change her face, she even changed the name of her live stream. This witch doctor is really too concerned about privacy!"
"That's obvious. If you encounter a witch doctor in a dungeon, you'd definitely stay far away from her. Who knows if she'll betray you!"
"Newbie here, who is this witch doctor? Is she famous? And how did you recognize her?"
