The game was still being difficult?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now it wanted him to crack the mechanism?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what the game didn’t know was—he had the Engineer shell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Lin Xun pressed “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[As an Engineer, you study the mechanism carefully and easily identify the core issue— it just needs a bit of external force to function properly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you wish to apply external force to the mechanism?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>External force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Engineer shell was Level 32.

It took quite a while to calm down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the blacksmith, the Yellow-Robed Bishop, and the Engineer shells had all died in increasingly bizarre ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Paladin of Discipline remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Lin Xun had planned to use the resurrection item on the Paladin—have it jump into the abyss and join the rest of the “family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, a thought struck him—“Forgotten Abyss of the Fading Afterglow” just sounded like a massive area to explore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the Paladin resurrected after falling, but the allotted time was too short to get through it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the game’s intention with the resurrection item was to give players only a limited time to grab a small portion of the treasure, because the abyss was just that rewarding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see a treasure trove but only be allowed to take a handful? Painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t there a way to get everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun rubbed his chin, thinking for a long time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then suddenly—Eureka! His Thousand Faces, Ten Thousand Forms soul talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if other players could somehow reach this hidden abyss by Chapter 323…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they’d be able to do is pick one shell, use the resurrection item, and grab a portion of the reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul talent gave him multiple shells to use!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resurrection, he could immediately possess another shell and continue exploring—bug abuse mode engaged!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could comb through the entire hidden area and claim every single reward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun wasn’t about to settle for a fraction of the loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kids make choices—adults say, “I want it all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Xun put down his phone, deciding to reshape both the Engineer and Yellow-Robed Bishop shells before doing the death jump bug exploit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the time—it was 1 PM. Still five hours until dinner with the girl in white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his laptop, launched his Writer Assistant app, and began the daily challenge: 4,000 words…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long while later, it was already 5 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the screen with only 2,000 words written, Lin Xun sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was the lack of a female coworker watching (supervising) from behind, but he just wasn’t in the zone today. His writer’s block was relentless—squeezing out even one chapter had been a struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing it was about time, he left his apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hailed a cab downstairs and headed for the city center mall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lu Caiyi had told him that the massive donation of over a thousand Spirit was a gift, Lin Xun felt it wasn’t right to accept it for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to pick out a small gift at the mall to return the favor. Besides, his wallet was pretty full right now—he still had 50,000 in bonus money from the organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mall, he spent a good while at the counters before finally selecting a bottle of perfume for women. Light and pure with a youthful scent—perfect for the girl in white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gift in hand, he called another cab and headed to the agreed-upon open-air restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Team Leader Wang of the Armed Division set down his files and massaged his temples, trying to relieve the pressure on his overloaded brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yiyi, that little rascal—said she had personal matters and ran off instead of helping me with paperwork. Tch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Lu Caiyi was twelve years younger than him, Wang Zhong treated her like a beloved niece, pampering the girl from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was obedient, kind-hearted, and exceptionally gifted—though her personality was a bit too soft, and needed some toughening up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhong even considered grooming Lu Caiyi as his successor for the Armed Division leadership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he neared retirement, he planned to recommend her to the organization…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the office clock, he saw it was almost time for his scheduled drinking session with an old war buddy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly dropped the files, got up, and drove to the location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lin Xun arrived, he spotted the girl already standing outside the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Caiyi wore a white floral dress, her youthful and delicate face giving off the air of a first love straight out of school. But her voluptuous figure clashed with that impression, creating a jarring yet striking contrast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a stunning sight at the entrance turned the heads of passersby again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun quickly approached. “Have you been waiting long?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Caiyi smiled softly. “Not at all, I just got here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she followed him through the restaurant doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place wasn’t your typical night market setup with tents and outdoor tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an indoor restaurant—orderly tables laid out in a large open hall without private rooms, more like a casual restaurant than a traditional stall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cool air from the A\u002FC greeted them, and the hall was already bustling. The aroma of all kinds of dishes filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun led the girl in white to an empty table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He handed her the menu brought by the server. “Order whatever you want—don’t hold back. Just got my bonus and it’s burning a hole in my wallet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Caiyi whispered a quiet thanks and hesitated over the menu for a long time before only picking two dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun shook his head and took the menu from her. After confirming she had no dietary restrictions, he rapidly ordered several signature dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter then asked if they wanted beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beer and stir-fry were the classic pairing in places like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Xun’s purpose today was just to treat the girl to dinner as an apology—nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, since it was an apology, he figured he should punish himself with a few drinks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked, “I’ll grab two bottles. You want one?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl lowered her head—her expression unreadable—but her small red ears were visible, and her voice was shy and quiet. “How about… two cases?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xun was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only planned to drink two bottles as a symbolic apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the Spirit was valuable, but did she have to punish him like this?!\u003C\u002Fp>",1337,"2026-05-30T04:23:11.631Z","2026-06-01T04:30:17.920Z",1,"novelbin.me","65084bbbd7ea3d1e103b6d5c688a90489267677aef29b0cfc007ff9da2a4fe72","i-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-chapter-43","i-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-chapter-41",825,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-save-the-world-in-a-doomsday-text-game-cover.jpg"]
