Chapter 10

"Of course it's real." Chen Anlin shrugged.

"That's good. What's your strength? Do you have any other skills?" The girl continued, "Don't misunderstand, after all, if we are to cooperate, we need to be clear about each other's strengths, right?"

Chen Anlin naturally wouldn't reveal any other details. He nodded and said, "I've never been good at running instances. Currently, I only have this one skill."

"What about weapons?" the girl asked again.

Chen Anlin shook his head again, "I only have a iron shovel given to me by Xu Sheng."

"Alright, anyway, you won't need to fight in this instance. You just need to dig soil. With your help, it will be much easier for us to complete this instance."

The girl then looked at Ye Feiyan.

Ye Feiyan spoke up, "Three days from now, we will enter the 'I Am Legend' instance. I've entered this instance once before. The background is a post-apocalyptic world where humans are infected by a virus, turning them into zombie-like creatures. These zombies have strong attack power, night vision, and strength and speed comparable to wild beasts."

"From what I know, an instance can only be entered once, whether you win or lose. Ye Feiyan, how can you enter it again?" Chen Anlin asked.

"Last time, I entered randomly. Later, I accidentally obtained a 'I Am Legend' game card."

Chen Anlin instantly understood. With a game card, one can enter directly.

"Since I've entered it before, I have some understanding of the situation inside. The zombies, although very strong, have a weakness: they fear strong light, so they can only move at night."

"The instance has several tasks. The first is to survive for three days and three nights. The second is to kill thirty zombies. The third task is to find the antidote for the virus."

"Completing any one of these tasks will complete the instance, but the rewards might be less."

"I plan to only complete the first task, surviving for three days and three nights. When we enter, Chen Anlin, I hope you can dig three holes large enough to accommodate us. This way, we won't be exposed at night. What do you think?"

Before Chen Anlin could speak, Shi Jinding said, "What if there's still some danger?"

Ye Feiyan replied, "I'll give you a resurrection card. If you fail the task, you won't die. If you complete the task, you can return the resurrection card to me."

"How about it? Chen Anlin, this is a deal where you can only gain and not lose. Only someone as generous as Sister Ye would offer such a good deal. Others wouldn't do it," Xu Sheng said.

"Don't get too excited yet, Chen Anlin. I have one more requirement: we won't enter as a team."

Ye Feiyan continued, speaking bluntly, "Your strength is too weak. After I and Zhu Xiaohan enter, we might try to kill the zombies to win. We don't want to share the rewards, understand?"

She was very straightforward.

Or rather, she was very blunt.

The meaning was clear: she was dissatisfied with your low strength. Your role is to dig soil, and once you're done, you can leave. If we have good luck and kill many zombies, we can get a lot of rewards.

And these rewards, we don't want to share with you, Chen Anlin.

Chen Anlin was delighted to hear this.

He was originally thinking of finding an excuse not to team up, but he didn't expect her to bring it up first.

This way, it's simpler.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion, Chen Anlin put on a disappointed face, "Can't team up~~~"

"You don't need to be disappointed. Just find a place to hide and successfully survive for three days and three nights. Even if the rewards are less, you'll still get a few thousand game coins," Ye Feiyan explained, worried that Chen Anlin might not agree.

"Alright, since I have a resurrection card, I'll act on my own when the time comes," Chen Anlin 'disappointedly' shook his head.

"Okay, since we've agreed, let's eat."

After the agreement, Ye Feiyan looked very pleased.

Ye Feiyan and Zhu Xiaohan had small appetites. They left after eating for a short while.

This greatly disappointed Shi Jinding. As soon as they left, he started lecturing, "Chen Anlin, when you enter the game, you can't be like this. What a great opportunity! You should try to get closer to them. If it were me, I would definitely take the chance to win her over."

Chen Anlin automatically ignored Shi Jinding's words.

Out of curiosity, he activated his skill to eavesdrop on Ye Feiyan and Zhu Xiaohan's conversation.

"That guy called Shi Jinding keeps staring at you, it's really annoying," Zhu Xiaohan muttered.

"Ignore that kind of person," Ye Feiyan said coldly.

"Speaking of which, now that we're out, can you stop pretending to be so cold?"

"I'm not pretending, I'm just naturally cold..."

"You're still pretending. But do you think Chen Anlin is reliable?"

"He's okay, just a third-rate gamer. After entering the instance, he can help us dig the soil, and then we can let him leave."

"Okay, that works. But Chen Anlin looks pretty good, except for his terrible hairstyle..."

"Ah, you think so too." Ye Feiyan sighed, "We really have the same taste."

"Hehehe..."

Their voices grew fainter, exceeding the range of eavesdropping.

Chen Anlin was completely unsettled. My hairstyle is ugly?

"Shi Jinding, Xu Sheng, you guys keep eating slowly."

"Chen Anlin, where are you going?" Xu Sheng asked.

"To get a haircut."

...

...

After nightfall, Chen Anlin had dinner and returned to his room, opening the game space.

Three days later, he would enter the 'I Am Legend' instance. Although he was confident of winning, he needed to quickly improve his strength to be on the safe side.

After all, unexpected situations could be very troublesome.

"Use the refresh card."

Using one refresh card, the 15-day cooldown was instantly reset.

"Enter the normal area."

"Okay, Saw."

A green light enveloped him again. This time, there were fewer tasks, only two.

1: 'Saving Private Ryan' Difficulty: 6 stars.

2: 'Village of the Damned' Difficulty: 6 stars.
