"I am not so lacking in character as to treat women as commodities," Lin Xun said calmly.
Xu Jingyu looked surprised.
"This woman is a doctor; she can heal your wounds."
Zhan Lang stared at Xu Jingyu in disbelief.
In this game, having a doctor was a rare opportunity!
If there was a doctor nearby, the difficulty of the game would be greatly reduced!
"Give me this woman!" Zhan Lang reached out to grab Xu Jingyu.
But he had been injured in the basement, while Lin Xun still had plenty of strength left.
Thus, he and Lin Xun exchanged blows but gained little advantage.
"A doctor for a cat? Such an unprofitable deal, how could I possibly agree?"
Lin Xun took advantage of Zhan Lang's momentary lapse and positioned Xu Jingyu behind him.
"I will have Xu Jingyu help you heal your wounds if you help us complete the Side Quest!"
He stated the terms of the deal firmly.
"Why do you think I would agree?" Zhan Lang sneered.
"Run for your life! If you don't escape, how will you survive? But now, does your body even allow you to flee?"
Lin Xun's gaze fell upon Zhan Lang's right foot.
There was a deep wound on Zhan Lang's thigh, one that reached down to the bone.
Fortunately, he was lucky; it hadn't hit a major artery, or he would have bled to death by now!
Zhan Lang understood what Lin Xun was about to say.
But he spoke first, providing the answer: "I don't feel pain in my body. When I was young, I got hurt and happened to damage the nerve that controls pain."
This meant that physical pain wasn't all that significant to him.
Naturally, the deal proposed by Lin Xun lost some of its allure.
[Wow, this constitution is like something out of a novel—he's practically a protagonist!]
[666, while other players rely on game mechanics for skills, Zhan Lang's abilities come from his childhood mischief!]
[I have a question: if he doesn't feel pain, does he feel pleasure?]
"How about a Red Escape Rope?"
Lin Xun said casually.
Zhan Lang's eyes instantly lit up.
"Deal!"
Hua Tian felt a pang of reluctance in her heart, yet she still took the Escape Red Rope from her pocket and handed it to Lin Xun.
She couldn't quite understand why she trusted this man she had only known for a few hours...
"Give me the red rope, then I'll hand over the task!"
"First, give me the task, then I'll give you the red rope! I know the task has a time limit, and delaying won't do you any good!"
Zhan Lang furrowed his brow.
It felt as if he had been outmaneuvered by the other party!
Yet he found himself powerless to change the situation!
He didn't respond with a promise; instead, he bypassed the three of them and headed toward Summer Lotus's room.
The three followed closely behind.
Summer Lotus was still hiding behind the meat tower, crying. When she saw the four of them arrive, her eyes lit up with joy.
"Yay! You finally made it!"
Zhan Lang handed over the Black Cat he was holding. "I found your pet!"
Summer Lotus examined the Black Cat in Zhan Lang's hands, a look of conflict crossing her face.
She frowned, her gaze dropping once more.
"This isn't my cat..." Summer Lotus shook her head.
"My cat is a dog, a Black Dog..." she added.
Lin Xun: ?
Hua Tian: ?
Zhan Lang: ?
Xu Jingyu: ...
Taking advantage of the group's hesitation, the Black Cat suddenly broke free from Zhan Lang's grasp.
The name tag hanging from its neck jingled softly before it quickly vanished through the doorway.
[Hahaha, who would have thought that the cat is actually a name? Who would name a dog 'Cat'? Dogs are usually called something like 'Wangcai'!]
[Zhan Lang is stunned! The iron man hesitates!]
[I’ve noticed that this person's imagination is getting wilder and wilder... ]
[Hey, I just like to name my dog 'Cat', I’m just having fun!]
The four of them left Summer Lotus's room.
Zhan Lang slammed his fist against the nearby pillar.
With a loud "DUANG," the impact echoed, startling the other three.
Hua Tian, confused, said, "Is it really necessary to be this angry? If we can't complete the task, we can just try again later. We still have two hours left, right?"
"Do you even understand anything?!" Zhan Lang shouted furiously at Hua Tian.
Lin Xun stepped in front of Hua Tian, saying, "What are you yelling at her for? Did we stop you from completing your task?"
Zhan Lang punched the pillar again.
"I received the task from Summer Lotus during my free time."
This meant that his time for the mission was significantly shorter than that of Lin Xun and the others.
Knowing that Summer Lotus's pet was a "cat," he instinctively thought it would go to places with plenty of mice.
Which meant the basement.
But who could have guessed that the so-called cat was actually a dog named Cat...
Now, calculating from when he received the task until now, nearly two hours had already passed.
He needed to find Xia He's Dog within the remaining hour.
It was practically an impossible task!
In this Game, failure to complete the tasks means death!
Zhan Lang is not afraid of pain, but he is certainly afraid of dying...
“Lin Xun, you have to help me!” Zhan Lang suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Xun and the others.
Hua Tian whispered to Lin Xun, “Don’t help him!”
She still remembered what Zhan Lang had just said to tease her!
“Is this how you ask for help? Besides, helping you doesn’t benefit us at all,” Lin Xun refused.
“But you need to complete your tasks!”
“Yes, but what does that have to do with you? Or, you could trade a Escape Red Rope for our help!”
Lin Xun bargained.
Escape Red Rope...
Zhan Lang hesitated.
He had only accumulated 5250 Points so far.
If he spent 5000 Points to buy the Escape Red Rope, he would be left with just 250 Points, enough only for a Danger Alarm!
But then he glanced at the remaining time.
With his own efforts alone, it was impossible to find Xia He's Dog.
Having failed the mission, what use were those Points to him?
Thinking this way, Zhan Lang immediately agreed, "Alright!"
"First, give me the Escape Red Rope," Lin Xun said again.
"You!" Zhan Lang had objections but was left with no choice. He could only reluctantly hand over the Escape Red Rope he had purchased in the mall to Lin Xun.
"Hand it over!"
"If you dare betray me..." A hint of malice flickered in Zhan Lang's eyes, filled with resentment as he looked at Lin Xun.
"We're in the same boat now, tied together by this Escape Red Rope. Who could betray whom?"
Lin Xun tried to reassure him.
After receiving the Escape Red Rope, Lin Xun tied it around his right hand.
Then he began to ask Zhan Lang about the places he had been.
He had been to the kitchen, the Laundry Room, the Shower Room...
Lin Xun admired Zhan Lang; having visited so many places, he had only sustained this little injury.
The highest combat power in this Game belonged to him alone. With a buff that made him impervious to pain, how great it would be if he could make use of that!
Unfortunately, a wolf is a wolf and cannot become a dog.
The moment one decides to partner with a wolf, one must also consider the day they might be betrayed.
Thus, Lin Xun and Zhan Lang could only cooperate briefly; they could not coexist for long.
There was no need to search the places Zhan Lang had already visited.
There were still plenty of locations left, and if they acted separately, they could indeed finish searching within an hour.
Sure enough, Zhan Lang suggested, "Why don't we split up to search?"
Lin Xun shot him a glare. "Are you stupid? In horror movies, splitting up is just giving the enemy a chance to take us out one by one!"
"What do you suggest we do then?"
Lin Xun thought for a moment. "You go on your own while the three of us check the second and third floors. You take the first floor."
