Chapter 7: Oh, Undead Wandering in the Mortal World, I Command You (Just Kidding)

"Quiet Boots?" Yun Mu's expression was somewhat strange as she quipped, "Shouldn't this thing be green?"

"Green quality is still green, right."

While quipping, she threw away the tattered leather boots she had been wearing and changed into these shoes, which were of better quality and more comfortable to wear.

After putting on the Quiet Boots, she stood in place and jumped a few times, then walked around for a while.

Just as the Equipment Panel stated, as long as she didn't deliberately make any loud noises, she could barely hear her own footsteps while walking or running.

If she knew some Stealth techniques, perhaps even the word "barely" could be crossed out.

"It's time to leave this place." After testing the effects of the Quiet Boots, Yun Mu thought to herself.

The Boss that needed to be fought had been fought, and the Treasure Chest had been opened; if nothing went wrong, she should be leaving the Dungeon world very soon.

And the reality was just as she had guessed; as she continued walking forward along the road, it wasn't long before the world before her eyes collapsed with a boom, and countless Darkness and void enveloped her.

By the time she came to her senses, she found that she had already returned to the sewers of Frostfall City, inside that cramped "home."

And the moment she returned to the real world, Yun Mu stood up abruptly from the rug, her hands quickly patting her body.

The Standard Short Dagger, the Hunter Coat, and the Quiet Boots—everything was fine, and the Blood Brewing Bottle was also hanging at her waist.

"Nice!"

After confirming that the items from the game could truly be brought into the real world, Yun Mu shouted with excitement.

"Open panel!"

【Dungeon Exploration】 (On cooldown)

Her character level had increased by two, and her overall attributes had also strengthened quite a bit, but the most important things were the equipment and items brought out from the Dungeon.

Not to mention the equipment that could enhance her combat ability, the Blood Brewing Bottle was the most important item for her right now.

One had to know, there were only two days left before she entered the Blood-Thirst State of the Scarlet Curse!

And the Blood Brewing Bottle, which could help her temporarily suppress the Blood-Thirst State, was equivalent to extending her life!

It was just a pity that she hadn't found a way to lift the Scarlet Curse yet.

"Is Dungeon Exploration on cooldown? I wonder how long it will last," Yun Mu said, looking at the "On cooldown" text next to Dungeon Exploration.

She no longer held much hope of finding a way to solve the Scarlet Curse in the real world; never mind where she would find a Myth-level existence or an Artifact.

Just look at those Bloodline Living Corpses and Blood-thirsty Ones—even though their race had changed to 【Bloodline】, they still retained traces of the Scarlet Curse on them, they just wouldn't fall into the lethal state of Apoptosis anymore.

And the woman who killed her predecessor was the same; otherwise, why would she go to consume human blood every so often?

In other words, those Bloodlines themselves couldn't lift the Scarlet Curse on their own bodies, so her wanting to find a way to lift the Scarlet Curse from these people was simply unrealistic!

So, she still had to rely on the Dungeon... the hell with that!

"I must grasp both hands, and both hands must be firm!" Yun Mu thought to herself.

She didn't know how long the Dungeon would be on cooldown; what if it was a year or two? She couldn't just wait around forever.

Therefore, she still had to make multiple preparations.

"First, find a way to investigate that woman with the scarlet eyes, then go and inquire if there are any clues about Artifacts or the like. What if I get lucky and pick up an Artifact?"

Yun Mu planned in her heart; with the appearance of the Golden Finger and the improvement in her strength, many things she couldn't do before, and things she didn't dare to do, seemed to have reached a turning point.

And this was exactly what she hoped for.

If it were like her predecessor, having no fixed place to live and having to survive by pickpocketing on the streets every day, then she might as well be bitten to death by a living corpse!

"Wait, what is this?"

Suddenly, at the very bottom of the character panel, Yun Mu noticed a strange pixel pattern.

It looked like some kind of creature, and it was very familiar.

She tapped the pixel pattern with her mind.

【Leader: Bloodline Living Corpse lv5 (Apprentice)】

【Recruitment Price: 150 Gold Coin】

"Huh?"

After seeing the window that popped up in the game, Yun Mu was stunned; the game she created was indeed one that required teammates, that was correct.

But she hadn't finished the teammate recruitment function yet when she transmigrated.

As a result, the game had come up with a Leader recruitment function on its own?

"How about... I give it a try?"

The massive body of the Bloodline Living Corpse appeared in Yun Mu's mind, and then she looked at her own cramped space.

"Let's get out of here first."

Thinking this, she stood up and climbed back up the stairs into the sewer corridor.

After choosing a relatively spacious area and confirming there was no one around, she immediately chose to recruit!

One hundred and fifty Gold Coins vanished instantly, and then, a Bloodline Living Corpse with a huge build, pale skin, and a body covered in Scarlet spots appeared before Yun Mu.

"Roar."

The Bloodline Living Corpse appeared in the sewer and, just as it wanted to look up and let out a Roar, it was kicked hard in the knee by Yun Mu.

"Don't make a sound!"

The environment in the sewer was enclosed; there was no telling how far a Roar from this guy would carry.

It wouldn't matter if other creatures in the sewer heard it, but if a person heard it, that would be troublesome.

(⊙o⊙)…

After being kicked, the Bloodline Living Corpse stood there blankly, the Roar sound effect stuck in its throat; it couldn't decide whether to roar or not.

After a long while, it nodded as if feeling somewhat aggrieved.

"So obedient."

Yun Mu looked at the big guy in front of her with some surprise. She thought for a moment and commanded, "Spin around, then lie down, and give me your hand."

Are you training a dog here?

The Bloodline Living Corpse tilted its head, looking at her in confusion, and did not take any action.

"Uh, forget it." Being stared at by such a pale face was quite creepy.

Yun Mu withdrew the previous instruction, pointed her finger into the distance, and commanded again: "You, run over there, and then run back."

"Roar!"

This time, the Bloodline Living Corpse took action. It let out a low Roar, ran nimbly to the position she specified, and then quickly ran back.

"Very good."

Seeing this, Yun Mu nodded with satisfaction. She then reached out to pat the Bloodline Living Corpse on the shoulder, but awkwardly discovered that she couldn't even reach its chest, so she could only retract her hand as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm, for the sake of convenience in the future, I'll give you a name."

After a moment of silence, Yun Mu spoke up.

She looked at the Bloodline Living Corpse's pale skin, thought for a while, and said, "Since you're so white and your build is so big, I'll call you Dabai!"

First of all, let it be stated that it wasn't that she couldn't come up with names, she was just too lazy to think about it in detail, and besides, the name Dabai actually sounded quite nice.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your consent."

"Roar."

"Alright, stop talking, I know you're very satisfied."

"Roar!"

PS: In the personal attributes, the values in () are the values after adding equipment.

The cooldown time for a Dungeon is one month. 【Strikethrough】 (This may be subject to change)

Every defeated Dungeon Leader can be recruited after the Dungeon ends.

If they die after being recruited, they can be brought back to life by spending more Gold Coins.

The Gold Coins required for Resurrection will not increase in price.
