Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Three days' rent, they only rested two days before deciding to enter an instance.

They couldn't not go in; with only output and no input, their combined points weren't enough to spend so lavishly.

Besides, life in the Infinite World looked much the same as real life after seeing a lot of it; apart from slightly more advanced technology here, it felt no different.

"Still different; the people here look more aggressive."

Shen Yao raised a hand to touch her chin; this was her conclusion after staking out the Instance Hall for two days.

The people inside, regardless of male or female, old or young, all carried a bloody smell on them; no matter how well concealed, they lacked the innocence and purity of the real world.

"After all, they've experienced life and death in instances," Xu Ningchen said with certainty.

Even if their newbie mission wasn't high difficulty, if they thought about it deeply, they could still judge what kind of situation the Infinite World's instances were.

And the instances in the Instance Hall ranged from low to high, difficulty gradually increasing; wanting to live well here, they had to desperately earn instance points.

Ordinary instance missions weren't enough; including their two people's few days of expenses, which were relatively frugal, changed to those other people who spent money like dirt, only high-difficulty instance points were enough.

"This time we enter an instance, do we choose ordinary difficulty or medium difficulty?"

Shen Yao leaned more toward medium difficulty in her heart; after all, they counted as experienced, and medium difficulty points were several times ordinary difficulty; once cleared, completing it well could also earn extra instance points.

These few days of staking out weren't wasting time; Shen Yao had already understood the general rules of instance operation.

Although instances were divided into two major categories and six minor categories, normal people entering instances still didn't know the instance contents, because instances were all blind entries; therefore, even if there were personnel selling instance news around the Instance Hall, not many would spend points to buy them.

This was a matter of purely gambling on luck; it was said every instance changed endlessly; even if entering instances with the same prompt one after another, the process or result wouldn't be exactly the same; under such a premise, who would be willing to spend points to buy hints that might or might not be useful? It wasn't as if they had so many points they had nowhere to use them.

The newbie missions they had cleared before, among them difficulty belonged to a successively increasing relationship; the simplest were of course the first two missions; the last one was basically on par with ordinary difficulty in the Infinite World; the only difference was that newbie instance time requirements were relatively short, clearance standards direct, unlike some special instances in the Infinite World with requirements and noted norms too numerous to count.

"To be safe, let's first try developing ordinary instances."

"If this time proves there's no difference from newbie instances, then next we'll go all out for medium-difficulty instances; as for higher-difficulty instances and ghost instances, we'll discuss later."

Xu Ningchen raised a hand and lightly tapped the tabletop; he also leaned toward going to medium-difficulty instances, but they hadn't officially entered instances yet; many things they learned from other people's mouths; true or false, right or wrong, temporarily not considered; what if?

After hearing Xu Ningchen's words, Shen Yao still nodded in agreement with this proposal; going to ordinary instances first wasn't bad either; although points were indeed fewer, as long as they could achieve higher-difficulty clearance requirements, they could still earn extra points to supplement.

"No time to lose, let's go now."

The Infinite World was very similar to the real world, also having day and night; only the technological feel here was heavier than the real world; staying long easily made people feel depressed.

Of course, this was only for poor people (not enough points); rich people could live happily anywhere.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen stood up and hurried to the Instance Hall; when they arrived, here people came and went, not seeing a bit of a cold atmosphere.

"Form teams, form teams, temporary teams, fair to all, clearly priced……"

"Heading to medium-difficulty ghost instance, I only seek to clear safely; all extra rewards obtained along the way can be traded or gifted……"

"Ren'an Guild recruiting; various values need to reach 12 points or above; if there's a standout single item, entry conditions can be appropriately relaxed……"

No different from when they came before; Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen weaved through these bustling crowds, quickly squeezing into the instance area not far away.

One after another, huge pure-white light circles appeared in their field of vision.

To go to an instance, one had to pass through these light circles.

Because there was no choice, and they two had no intention of forming a team, therefore they just walked straight into the ordinary instance area.

After the light radiating from the light circles perfectly covered them two, in just a moment, they disappeared from the area before their eyes.

Shen Yao only heard a mechanical sound in her mind; then the next second, she alone appeared in a strange, crowded room; around were daily sundries, and she herself was sitting on an unmade bed.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao shook her head speechlessly, hurriedly stood up to look for her ID card.

Fortunately, her wallet and phone were not far away; after taking them and opening them, Shen Yao quickly clarified her identity and current situation.

A young couple who ran from a remote mountain village to a big city to work.

Oh, the wife was her; the husband was naturally Xu Ningchen.

"I'm outdoors; see you at home later," Xu Ningchen hung up the phone, wearing a sun hat and looking at the surrounding skyscrapers.

The mechanical sound just now reminded them that this instance's mission was drifting.

The whole instance lasted one month; to clear it, they needed to survive this period.

At the same time, the instance increased difficulty every seven days; the last two days' difficulty would directly double.

To earn more points, they had to help others within their capabilities.

Xu Ningchen had no objection to the first few points; only the last one about helping others—perhaps this instance world was a real world that existed?

Fortunately, he himself didn't like fighting and killing; he turned around to settle wages with the construction site boss; Xu Ningchen returned home at the fastest speed.

By this time Shen Yao had already simply tidied up the things in the room.

She hadn't forgotten the space backpack she got after clearing the newbie instance.

Shen Yao inferred from the word "drifting" that they might face life on water; things like food and clothes, she should prepare and store as much as possible.

Fortunately, there was still uneaten rice and white flour at home; she directly used kitchen tools to make them.

Gurgle gurgle—

At this time, the weather was somewhat stuffy; even with the kitchen window open, it didn't relieve much.

When Xu Ningchen got home, Shen Yao had already steamed several pots of rice and thrown them into the backpack; these were supplies she prepared as instant food; after all, their current personas weren't rich families; money had to be spent on the blade's edge; daily eating and drinking naturally came however convenient.
