By the time he steadied himself and looked up, he discovered that his surroundings had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his eyes was no longer a quiet path, but a dilapidated pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back, there was only endless darkness behind him; the road he had come from was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the pier, completely bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it all, where the hell did this step bring me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this still inside the town of Buli-fu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pier was deathly silent; the only things answering him were the surging waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard; it seemed he had underestimated this C-rank dungeon that had only just appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A big job has arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed the fish in his hand into his portable space, took out his two-meter-long pale blue metal staff, and began to observe the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wood used to build the pier was quite old; eroded by the sea breeze and seawater, it had lost its hardness. It felt soft underfoot, and one could feel that the wood was saturated with water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sniffed; besides the briny scent of the sea, there was a heavy fishy odor, the musty smell of rotting wood, and the scent of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The source of the blood scent was the rotting wood beneath his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He channeled energy into the staff, and the gem at its tip emitted a glow, illuminating the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the light, he saw that what the planks were saturated with was not water at all, but fresh blood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With every step he took, red blood seeped out from the gaps between the planks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inserted the spiked end of his staff into a gap between the planks and pried upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rotten plank was easily pried open, and within the hole, a round, bulging eye was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the light, the eyeball rotated, and the pupil locked onto Han Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Han Shi was experienced, being caught off guard by such a scene made him jump in fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down and looked at the eye under the plank again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that it was not a human eye, but a fish eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the fish that had been staring at him jumped out of the hole and landed heavily on the wooden pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the first fish's jump, more eyes began to emerge from the pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the pier's floorboards, it was as if it were connected to some fish pit; fish jumped out of the holes one after another, seemingly never to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After each fish jumped out of the pit, it would flop toward the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first fish to emerge was already one step away from the edge of the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it made its final leap, a large, scale-covered hand reached out from beneath the sea surface and snatched the leaping fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the alley-oop came the slam dunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant merman over three meters tall leaped out of the water and swallowed the fish it had caught in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shi bared his teeth as he watched the merman before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This merman, why is it different from what I saw when I was a kid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aren't mermen supposed to have human bodies and fish tails?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This merman in front of me, why does it have a fish head and human legs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did I see it wrong before?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it, since the monsters have spawned, I'll just clear them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shi chanted a spell, and the energy within his body surged out as light, condensing at the tip of his staff into a three-meter-long blade of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward and lunged, his light blade slashing off one of the fish-man's sharp claws instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a backhand downward strike, he severed the fish-man's other claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, fish-man, can you understand me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fish-man opened its mouth and roared, the sound wave deafening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shi covered one ear with a hand while wielding the staff with the other, using the light blade to decapitate the fish-man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems communication is impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crouched down and examined the fish-man's corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merman's flesh was firm and its physique robust; it had attributes of roughly level twelve or thirteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an elite monster, it was at most bottom-tier in a C-rank dungeon and posed no threat to him. If they appeared in groups, they might cause him some trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been too hasty before; the Quiet Town dungeon had some substance, but not much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Han Shi could dissect the fish-man's body to further study what kind of monster it was, countless shadows emerged beneath the sea surface surrounding the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a series of fish-men leaped out of the sea like firecrackers, landing on the deck and staring fixedly at Han Shi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shi swallowed and slapped himself in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big mouth, speak of the devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the area and found that there were no fewer than twenty fish-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mere twenty fish-headed monsters want to take down me, Han Shi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shi snorted coldly and condensed the light blade in his hand once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, a battered Han Shi raised his staff, which no longer had a light blade, and smashed the head of the last fish-man to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so tired he sat down on the ground; this time it's finally over, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low horn sounded from afar, followed by the sound of countless oars striking the waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Shi looked into the distance and saw a fleet composed of seven or eight medium-sized wooden ships speeding toward the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On each wooden ship sat at least twenty fully armed fish-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a bronze statue appeared out of thin air; the statue stared at Han Shi, and Han Shi felt a chill down his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh no, it's a skill check!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to summon his will to resist, but found it was too late; a \"Sinner\" status had been added to his attribute panel, and all his attributes were weakened by one-fifth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the fish-man fleet that had already reached the shore, a sense of despair rose in Han Shi's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, outside the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang, who had been lying in wait at the Buli-fu port, opened his eyes and looked at the \"Life-sized Bronze Statue of Count Jermaine,\" built to commemorate the opening of the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment ago, the Count's bronze statue had suddenly flashed with light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a pale red resentment flashed across the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the resentment disappeared extremely quickly, it was still discovered by Wu Chang, who had been lying in wait there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Han Shi's resentment, he saw everything that happened at the fish-man pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Wu Chang took one last look at the statue, and his body vanished into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, tonight's experiment was a success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had verified the intelligence left behind by the previous postman: a \"Inner World\" truly existed in the town of Buli-fu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Verifying this piece of intelligence was not an unnecessary move on his part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Wu Chang, only the intelligence generated from the resentment of a player after death was completely credible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intelligence left by the previous postman was all recorded in letters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention whether there were secret codes or jargon inside, even without these hidden traps, no one could be sure if the intelligence recorded within was authentic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on Han Shi, this little lab rat, he had not only verified the existence of the Inner World but also verified another of his guesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Outer World and Inner World of Buli-fu were not completely independent; there was some special connection between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This connection was very likely linked by the statues in the Inner World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when Ma Di insisted on executing the previous postman under the bronze statue, it had already caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Han Shi was sucked into the Inner World, the Count's bronze statue on the Outer World pier showed an abnormal reaction, which completely confirmed this guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the resentment that flashed across the bronze statue, that was purely an unexpected bonus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person provided so much information; Brother Han Shi, your death was worth it, you died well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang could guarantee that he used Han Shi as a lab rat only because Han Shi was strong enough to test enough things about the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was absolutely not because he was petty and was retaliating against those three dogs on the beach for trying to use them as cannon fodder and calling him a small fry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never holds a grudge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Wu Chang finished collecting the information and was preparing to leave, a whistle sounded on the sea, and a red steamship bearing the post office emblem sailed into the port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town's mail had arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1508,"2026-06-20T04:32:04.041Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","17e40d0492f5a3c31cd589d0a1f160ed7e1422f458d3682adcac4b43cc430b8f","the-dungeon-has-zero-tolerance-i-inherited-all-t-chapter-74","the-dungeon-has-zero-tolerance-i-inherited-all-t-chapter-72",392,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dungeon-has-zero-tolerance-i-inherited-all-t-cover.jpg"]
