Chapter 218: The Butt Doesn't Matter

"Who the hell is it?! One person's blood-written plea, begging the system to reveal the host ID!"

"Two people's blood-written pleas!!"

"Add."

"Cheng Shuili tapped the floor on and off, unable to resist opening the system page again to take a look."

"It's already almost 8:30, which was the time the instance previously opened."

"The system is still drawing an instance?"

"Could it be that there are too few safe instances, so it's working hard to find one?"

"Cheng Shuili's guess is definitely not baseless!"

"When she used the Designated Dungeon Activation Card before, she had seen those—vivid colors, exquisite graphics, and at a glance they looked as dangerous as poisonous mushrooms—let's not talk about those dangerous instances for now."

"Even if it's a simple text-only instance, there are absolutely not many safe ones!"

"Thinking about it, it's no wonder the system is taking so long to draw an instance—just filtering out the unsuitable ones must take a long time."

"Instances with too high difficulty are out, instances with deadly mechanics are out, and most importantly, any instance containing monsters must be ruled out entirely!"

"No matter how weak the monster is, even if it's just the lowest-level slime, that instance is still unacceptable."

"Who says humans can't be killed by sticky, cute slimes?"

"Cheng Shuili originally thought the system would at least select an instance before 8:30, but who knew it would drag it all the way to 8:40."

"But fortunately, the instance's content was finally announced."

"【Instance Details: Hide and Seek】"

"【Description:... error... not yet edited...】"

"Huh?"

"Cheng Shuili frowned at the line of text after the description—what is this?"

"What is this?"

"She originally thought it was her own client bug, but upon opening the area channel she saw that others were seeing the same line of text."

"\"System! Please come out and explain what this 'not yet edited' means! \"

"\"Cutting corners, huh? Who did this work? You can fire them! \"

"\"This world really is a giant amateurish troupe, hahaha! I thought only that previous world was like this, but how can the system also be so unreliable, hahaha!! \"

"\"Today's biggest joke! I've already taken a screenshot; if the system ever refuses to speak human... uh, system-speak again, I'll slap this screenshot in its face! \"

"\"I took a screenshot too, haha—this is really rare to see; what the heck is this 'not yet edited' supposed to be? \"

"Cheng Shuili smiled, closed the area channel, and looked at the system's published page again—indeed it still said 'not yet edited'."

"What is this, is the working system going to have its wages docked?"

"She raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling again on the instance's name."

"Hide and Seek?"

"This name is also different from those of the previous instances."

"When selecting instances before, I'd never seen a three-character instance name either."

"Surely not..."

"Cheng Shuili propped her chin with her hand, and a sudden thought struck her: this instance... could it have just been thrown together?"

"The system probably didn't expect anyone to use an instance activation card on a day off, right?"

"Cheng Shuili enjoyed speculating, while the system on the other side, being scolded, felt utterly miserable."

"Really..."

"Just giving it a temporary notice to make a safe instance would have been enough!"

"Why does it also have to be responsible for the description?"

"Even if we let it handle it, at least tell it!"

"No matter how, the system didn't say anything, the system didn't give a reminder, and when something went wrong they blamed it entirely."

"The little system wanted to cry but had no tears, yet the little system hated 【it】!"

"\"So should we still add it? \""

"The little system lifted its teary eyes and asked the harsh-speaking main system:"

"The main system was choked by that question, and after a while replied testily: \"You've already seen it all—what more is there to fix now? Are you just adding to your own workload? \""

"\"Got it. \""

"Sniffle."

"The instance's opening time was set to nine o'clock."

"Looking at this schedule, it's definitely because something delayed this instance."

"Because the system personally said this instance has no danger at all, the players are still relatively relaxed."

"Failure might incur punishment, but the system hasn't announced it, so worrying now is pointless."

"What everyone still cares most about is who the host actually is."

"Cheng Shuili originally thought the system would announce the host's ID together with the instance, but instead of getting the ID she got this huge joke."

"In fact, she also took a screenshot just now; although she doesn't know why, she feels it might come in handy someday, so saving it is definitely not a mistake."

"Amidst everyone's anticipation, the time finally struck nine."

"Although this instance has no description and is a completely unknown environment, for some reason every player is even more excited."

"Cheng Shuili is no exception."

"An absolutely safe instance... truly a sight to behold."

"Her vision flashed, and when she could see clearly again, she found herself standing in a vast plaza."

Scattered decorations were piled up around the perimeter, and the outermost were houses with tightly shut doors arranged neatly in a full circle, obviously forming an air wall.

Cheng Shuili looked around, wondering why there were no prompts at all, when a popup suddenly appeared before her eyes.

【You have entered a Hell-level Instance! Please find the 12 hidden Beastman NPCs as quickly as possible!】

【This Instance is a timed Instance! The maximum game time is 4 hours; if the goal is not completed within 4 hours, it is directly considered a Instance failure! If the goal is completed within 4 hours, the player's score will be used to calculate the average; a score above the average counts as a Instance success, otherwise it is still a failure!】

【Now! The timer has started!】

Cheng Shuili didn't rush to look for the Beastman NPC, but instead stared at these few lines of text in front of her, pondering for a moment.

After confirming there were no wordplay tricks, she finally had to admit that this was just an ordinary hide-and-seek game.

The player is the 'seeker side', while the Beastman NPC is the 'hider side'.

What kind of Instance is this even supposed to be?

It really doesn't fit with those Instances the system previously created!

Cheng Shuili was thinking when her gaze suddenly stopped at a certain spot.

If she wasn't mistaken, what she saw was probably a Beastman's butt.

This Beastman of unknown animal species was crouching behind cover, and the movement of her hands showed she was tightly protecting her head.

So, the butt isn't important, right?

She couldn't help but let out a laugh; the butt sticking out in front twitched, seeming nervous, and she shrank a bit more toward the cover, exposing even more of it.

Cheng Shuili couldn't hold back, and she strode over and grabbed that Beastman, pulling her out.

It was a Sheep Beastman, apparently somewhat old, so not knowing how to play the game was normal.

She seemed to have been squatting for a while; at first glance her eyes were completely black, and her body swayed, almost collapsing face-first to the ground.

Amidst cries of 'Tribal Elder' from all sides, Cheng Shuili raised her hand and steadied her.

The Sheep Beastman shook her head, feeling much better, then smiled at Cheng Shuili and said, 'Thank you, human, you're truly a kind-hearted good person.'
