As usual, he stored it away safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fang of the Black Giant Worm was listed as a weapon forging material. Lin Xun still had the wolfhound fangs and pelts on him—also forging materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last item was more interesting…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Glandular Mucus Essence of the Black Giant Worm (Item): Extracted from the glandular tissue within the Black Giant Worm that produces mucus. This foul-smelling, concentrated mucus is the essence of that substance. Upon use, you will temporarily gain the life trait of the Black Giant Worm, allowing you to move for a short time after death. Note: If you take damage again after death, you will immediately lose your post-death mobility.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say this item was powerful… it wasn’t exactly all that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though you could still move after dying, any damage taken would still lead to a proper death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xun noticed the words “short time.” This meant that even if you weren’t attacked again, the pseudo-resurrection effect wouldn’t last indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post-death movement was on a timer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to call it trash would also be unfair. Let’s just say—it might prove unexpectedly useful in very specific scenarios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing the loot, Lin Xun continued playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found that after reaching the bottom of the sewers… there was no way forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game text didn’t show any options for progressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun furrowed his brows. That couldn’t be right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had gone through so much trouble to find a hidden area, and this little payoff? It was completely below his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze to the Forgotten Abyss of the Fading Afterglow (Map) in his inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the rewards in the Saint Rance Sewers were far below what a hidden location should yield, then there could only be one explanation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forgotten Abyss of the Fading Afterglow definitely held extremely rich rewards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While sorting his thoughts, his hand couldn’t wait and already clicked to use the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have used Forgotten Abyss of the Fading Afterglow (Map)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have received the guidance of this map.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bathed in the golden glow of your Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear, you advance slowly…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You stride to the end of the Saint Rance Sewers bottom level.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[In front of you is a pitch-black wall covered in sludge. Looking around, you find no visible path forward.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you wish to retreat?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun let out a sneer of disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trying to play tricks on him? Who did they think they were dealing with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a seasoned player, Lin Xun didn’t hesitate to click on the Engineer’s Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Clever Apostle, it seems you’ve discovered something…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You raise the “Thunder Dragon Staff-Spear” and thrust it at the wall ahead.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The tip of the spear penetrates without any tactile resistance. Just as you’re slightly surprised—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The wall in front of you vanishes like a burst illusion, leaving no trace behind…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Peering ahead, you see a rudimentary wooden elevator. Beneath it lies a bottomless abyss cloaked in darkness.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cold wind howls up from the abyss, like the roar of demons beneath the earth, making you waver at the edge. One careless step, and you’d fall—into eternal oblivion.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you wish to board the drafty, four-sided elevator carriage and explore the secrets hidden in the dark abyss below?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a hidden map—even the question prompts were much longer than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun clicked “Yes,” while in his mind, he thought of Ye Xiaoqi’s soul talent—True Sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the short-haired beauty could have entered the sewer bottom, she probably wouldn’t even need to defeat the “Hungry Old Man” three times to get the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talent that allowed you to directly see hidden items and secret paths was quite handy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this game didn’t support co-op exploration—only PvP invasions. Otherwise, Ye Xiaoqi would’ve made an excellent tool character… ahem, teammate. Yes, definitely teammate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You cautiously step onto the elevator, pressing down on a protruding metal mechanism on the floor of the carriage.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[With a clatter of meshing gears and hinges, the elevator you’re standing on begins its slow descent—plunging into utter darkness…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the game text froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun, used to it by now, silently waited for the ancient elevator to reach its destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long pause…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The clatter of gears suddenly halts. The protruding metal mechanism beneath your feet seems to have rusted over due to disrepair, jamming in place.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You are stuck midway down the cliff into the abyss—unable to retreat to the sewer bottom, nor descend further into the depths.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you wish to jump into the abyss?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected game text describing his arrival at the destination—instead, the ancient elevator had jammed midway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun thought for a moment, recalling the recently acquired item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was probably the ideal moment to use the pseudo-resurrection item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The standard game progression should be: use the “resurrection” item, jump into the abyss, then reanimate and explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, he was still possessing the Engineer shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending such a powerful shell to its death felt like a waste. Better to let the Paladin of Discipline take the fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, a perfect plan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he noticed the keywords like “rusted over” and “disrepair,” a sudden memory surfaced—his first time entering the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had solved a similar issue using half a bottle of Healing Holy Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the same trick work twice on a Saint Seiya? No, it could not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the same problem stump Lin Xun a second time? Definitely not!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun decided to teach this game a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his inventory. There it was—half a bottle of Healing Holy Water, found under the big bed in the Yellow-Robed Bishop’s bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he clicked Healing Holy Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Clever Apostle, it seems you’ve discovered something…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[1. Drink the holy water—it will heal your injuries. Though you are uninjured at the moment, the unique taste of the holy water may leave a lasting impression.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[2. There may be no nun shells around, but you can still use the holy water. Its slick and greasy feel makes it perfect for solo… relief.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[3. (Hidden Option) The elevator’s floor mechanism has rusted and jammed due to disrepair. Perhaps you can use the holy water to give it a second lease on life.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, Lin Xun ignored the first two weird options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked the third.\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-05-30T04:23:11.631Z","2026-06-01T04:30:17.920Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c3fe77757848a350066d935959f7a37edd14491514dcf127c0eb96582977368","i-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-chapter-42","i-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-chapter-40",825,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-cover.jpg"]
