Chapter 317 "Gentleman" and "Nobleman" 13
When that incident happened, Russell was still a low-level cannon fodder in the game, and he only heard some details from the old man later.
Back then, even though people were wasting time in the game, they remained strong and didn't give up hope. Because that person had always been at the top of the peak leaderboard, during the long period of suffering, some people inevitably regarded him as a spiritual banner.
"Look, the one at the top is still alive. He has always been alive. As long as he is here, will he take us away from this damn place one day?"
People always need some faith to consciously and tenaciously survive. Once this idea is formed, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of grassroots players and becomes their motivation to persevere.
However, until one day, the person at the highest position on the peak leaderboard quietly disappeared from the players' sight.
For a month, he did not appear in any live broadcast room.
At first, people were quite optimistic, speculating that perhaps the strong man had found some magical item that could allow him to escape into the dungeon.
But a month has passed.
Two months have passed.
Three months have passed...
People still couldn't hear any news about him, and the players at the bottom gradually began to panic.
The "flag" fell.
Is he trapped in a dungeon? Will he show up again? Could he be...
"Dead"?
In this endless unknown and fear, everyone's imagination is infinitely magnified, and all kinds of terrible thoughts keep circling in their minds.
Just like that, three months passed quickly. Many, overcome by this long wait and despair, finally gave up hope and disappeared into certain dungeons. The atmosphere within the game remained gloomy, and despair, like a thick, dark cloud, enveloped everyone, making it almost impossible to breathe, as if there was no glimmer of hope left.
But fate had finally shown its favor to them. On this day, without any sign, all players in the game, whether inside or outside the dungeon, simultaneously received a notification from the system.
Congratulations to player [Mo Heng] for clearing the S-rank dungeon - Ouroboros.
[S-level dungeons are now officially open, and supplementary rules have been sent. Please read carefully. The game content has been fully updated. We hope to bring a better gaming experience to all players. Wish you a happy life!]
The first time a player's name appeared in the dungeon, the first time players knew the name of the top player -
Mo Heng.
After they calmed down, they began to think about how to survive.
"When the housekeeper assigned us rooms, he didn't mention resting alone. The two of you were also assigned to the same room, which means that living together is allowed." Russell pinched himself secretly, pulling himself out of fear and forcing himself to analyze the current situation.
"Are we going to sleep together at night?" Jia Tian looked at the boss's door intentionally or unintentionally while speaking, and his meaning was very obvious.
"Try it?" Mao Weiqi was obviously very afraid of what would happen in the evening, and he rarely answered Jia Tian.
Yan Yang looked at everyone's faces and knew what they were worried about: "Let me do it." He gritted his teeth and was the first to walk out of the room.
The two rooms were not far apart. After a few steps, Yan Yang walked resolutely to the boss's door and took a deep breath. Even if the boss rejected and disliked him, there was nothing he could do. This was their only chance. He and Wang Linlin had too few life-saving items and were of low levels. They were more likely to die in this dungeon tonight.
"Knock, knock, knock" Yan Yang knocked on the door carefully, lightly and politely.
"Squeak!" "Sir..."
The door opened in front of Yan Yang. Yan Yang quickly looked at Mo Heng with a smile on his face.
However, before he could finish, he was interrupted by something thrown by Mo Heng.
"This thing can temporarily protect you. You have good vision. Live well."
The man had taken off his fedora and changed out of his tuxedo, seemingly planning to rest. He looked more casual in his pajamas, which also made him look more popular.
"Bang!" Mo Heng didn't care what the people outside the door thought, and closed the door again without waiting for Yan Yang's reaction.
When Yan Yang heard that this little thing could protect them, he immediately hugged the thing in his arms carefully, but he didn't quite understand what the boss said.
"Let's go back to the room first." Russell took a look at what Mo Heng threw out. It was a small pottery figurine. The quality looked quite good, much better than the life-saving props he had kept in the bottom of his box. If the boss said he could protect them, then it must be possible.
"Okay." It was indeed inappropriate to talk in front of the boss's door. Several people quickly returned to Yan Yang and his room, but their mood had completely changed.
"Why does the boss want to give us something to save our lives? And what does it mean that we have good vision?" Jia Tian couldn't help but ask as soon as he closed the door.
"Maybe...we praised his ring?" Russell thought about it and could only think of this possibility. That was the only time they had the deepest interaction with the boss.
Wang Linlin thought of his good partner Yan Yang, who had taken the initiative to mention the pearl ring, and turned around and gave his good brother a thumbs up: "Yan Yang, you are this!"
At the same time, in Chu Yun's room.
Chu Jun let both Pino and Xiao Hei out for a rare ride. A little white cat and a little black dog. One lay gracefully on the sofa, lazily wagging its tail. The other, upon seeing Chu Jun, threw itself into his arms, rolling around in his arms, grumbling and complaining, "Hmmmm~," about not letting it out to play in the last dimension.
Chu Jun sat cross-legged on the sofa, petting Xiao Hei's head and coaxing him for a while, then turned his attention to Pino, who was lying on the sofa. Chu Jun pinched the little white cat by the back of his neck and lifted him onto his lap.
Pino was a cold little cat, and Chu Jun rarely did such things to him. Pino looked at Chu Jun with his blue eyes, his face expressionless, no emotion visible.
"Pino, have you been troubled recently?"
Pino's eyes flashed, and then he replied, "No data related to 'trouble' was detected."
Chu Jun frowned when he heard Pino's answer. "Sure enough, he's back to his original self."
"What did Mo Heng upgrade for you?"
"Checking for update data... Completed. This update includes: Positioning system..."
The little white cat answered Chu Jun's questions in a serious manner, but it made him feel very sad.
How come he lost his Pinot just by updating the program?
Pino's internal programs were all written by Mo Heng. Chu Jun was not sure that he could find out the reason why Pino became like this after invading Pino's program. If he acted on his own, he might cause secondary harm to Pino.
Chu Jun was conflicted but couldn't do anything about Pino. He could only observe for a while.
"Maybe it's just a bug after the system update? It will probably be fixed after a while."
Xiao Hei on his lap was restless, lying on his front legs on Chu Yun's chest, looking up and asking Chu Yun to hold him. On the other hand, Pino sat on his lap like a doll, wagging his tail and shaking his ears at most.
Chu Jun pressed Xiao Hei's head and focused on instructing Pino: "If you feel uncomfortable or encounter difficulties, you must tell me, understand?"
"Okay, Your Highness."
Pino's flat voice stabbed Chu Jun in the heart, and he silently blamed Mo Heng for this.
"Mo Heng must have been in a hurry to upgrade the program, which damaged Pino's intelligence!"
The little white cat looked up at the little prince with a frown on his face, thought for a moment, and then put his head on Chu Yun's legs.
Although he didn't know why he did this, it should make the little prince feel better.
