Chapter 378: Hearing of Du Hongnian for the First Time

After cultivating The Highest Goodness is Like Water 【Anger】, Chen Ran's School of Military Momentum received an epic-level enhancement.

Put simply.

Previously, affected by reason, his School of Military Momentum was suppressed, making him unable to instantly resolve all problems. But now it was different.

Affected by The Highest Goodness is Like Water 【Anger】.

Before walking into the third Secret Room of the Instance, Chen Ran dealt with the problems left over from before.

For example, Lin Xuan's problem...

Was executed!

His ultimate trump card went bankrupt.

Next...

However, 【temporarily】 had to be added.

Chen Ran asked Shu Renjun just now: 'Do you dare to suppress your Mental State?'

The reason was very simple.

As long as he suppressed his Mental State, Shu Renjun would think about problems from a standpoint of absolute reason.

Then the conclusion he would ultimately arrive at was...

Chen Ran has a Dao Protector and cannot be killed.

Therefore, Shu Renjun...

Did not dare to suppress his Mental State.

If he suppressed his Mental State, reason would arrive at the final conclusion: play dumb and lie low until the Instance ends.

But Shu Renjun couldn't afford to wait.

Put simply, meeting Chen Ran was the turning point of his life. If he handled it well, he might climb to the peak in the future.

If he missed this, he clearly knew that he might never have another chance in this lifetime.

Therefore, he could only gamble.

Gamble that before the Dao Protector could react, he would instantly take Chen Ran down.

That's right, Unknown Information Deception!

Regardless of how high the Star Rating of Chen Ran's Dao Protector was, they could not be immune to Unknown Information Deception.

Therefore, between reason and taking a risk, he could only choose to take a risk.

Having analyzed up to here, Qiu Yinong, Lin Xuan, and the Big Gold Tooth, the three of them, put themselves in his shoes.

If it were them, they would also choose to take the risk. Losing one's life was naturally terrifying, but missing out was even more terrifying.

…

Chen Ran looked at the Big Gold Tooth: "Previously, I asked someone if The Underworld had a resurrection skill, and he said yes."

"Do you have anything you want to say?"

Yeah, if there is a resurrection skill, why still send someone to protect Chen Ran?

Just when everyone was deep in thought, the corners of Chen Ran's mouth curled up slightly, and without any warning, he drew his Liar-Slayer.

The gun pointed at Qiu Yinong!

The speed was too fast. When the others reacted, they were astonished to find...

The Big Gold Tooth blocking in front of Qiu Yinong.

"As expected."

Chen Ran slowly put his gun away, fished out a Cigarette Case from his pocket, and lit a cigarette.

Since there was a resurrection skill, then there was no need for The Underworld to send someone to protect him.

Unless...

The person being protected cannot be resurrected!

Moreover, even if there was a resurrection skill, the price would definitely be very high.

But if...

A protects B, and B protects C, then they can avoid using the resurrection skill.

Moreover, B's state should be very special.

To be exact, it should be...

A protects B-, B+ protects C, where B+ and B- have a symbiotic relationship.

Of course, this was only an assumption; there was fundamentally no conclusive evidence.

However, the Big Gold Tooth knew that Chen Ran's state at this moment was very wrong.

The moment Chen Ran drew his gun, he immediately blocked in front of Qiu Yinong.

This already explained the problem.

…

There were five people in the Secret Room.

Lin Xuan's ultimate trump card went bankrupt.

Shu Renjun didn't dare to suppress his Mental State.

The Big Gold Tooth's weakness had been exposed.

Chen Ran looked at Qiu Yinong. The hostility in his eyes instantly faded, returning to clarity. He smiled at her, revealing two rows of teeth, and gave a thumbs up:

"How was that, I'm pretty awesome, right?"

"Just now you..." Qiu Yinong was somewhat unsure of Chen Ran's current state.

Seeing this, Chen Ran's eyes were instantly filled with burning rage. He pulled a cold face at Qiu Yinong:

"Praise me."

Qiu Yinong: "..."

'Is this the contrast?'

Since the four people present had never encountered a person with The Highest Goodness is Like Water Mental State before, they had always thought that Chen Ran's state just now was the mode where even a passing dog would get scolded.

But Chen Ran's contrast this time made them feel like something wasn't right.

Stowing away The Highest Goodness is Like Water Mental State, Chen Ran took a deep puff of his cigarette and joked: "How about we guys go in a bit later?"

'Despicable!'

'Shameless!'

'Hateful!'

The three of them cursed very dirtily in their hearts.

Put simply.

Lin Xuan was basically crippled for the next Secret Room. His skill was generally understood by the others, and his trump card had also been made bankrupt by Chen Ran. Lin Xuan wouldn't be able to make any waves in the third Secret Room of the Instance.

Shu Renjun didn't dare to suppress his Mental State, therefore he would use Unknown Information Deception next. As long as the others paid a little attention to unknown information, Shu Renjun was practically half-crippled as well.

As for the Big Gold Tooth, it was even simpler. If you want to kill the Big Gold Tooth, just target Qiu Yinong.

The flaws of the three of them had all been laid out in the open by Chen Ran, yet the three of them completely did not know Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong's flaws.

Chen Ran wanted to just run away like this?

However, Chen Ran left them with an unrestrained back view, turned around, and walked in.

Seeing this, Qiu Yinong also lifted her foot and walked towards the white light door leading to the third Secret Room.

The remaining three people exchanged a glance.

And also followed inside.

…

"My dear enemies, welcome to my home turf. I wish you all a happy time."

Amidst the blinding light, the five people heard the BOSS's classic opening monologue. Qiu Yinong noticed that when this BOSS spoke the lines, it wasn't as feeble and weak as the previous BOSS.

Very quickly, the white light completely faded away.

This was a Secret Room.

There were six chairs in the Secret Room, and on each chair was a helmet.

On one of the chairs, a woman wearing a helmet was sitting upright.

Seeing this scene.

Qiu Yinong couldn't be more familiar with it. The woman's helmet looked very much like the first-generation product of the company she worked for when she was alive... a Game Helmet.

Seeing Chen Ran look over suspiciously, Qiu Yinong shook her head lightly: I don't know this person.

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hua Changsheng, a Superego Skill owner, and formerly a subordinate of Du Hongnian."

Du Hongnian?

The Big Gold Tooth and Shu Renjun's complexions changed drastically, looking at Hua Changsheng uncertainly.

"If I remember correctly, Du Hongnian is the Ninth Floor Master of the Deceiver Alliance?"

"Correct." The woman nodded.

Everyone suddenly realized that this woman was most likely a strengthened version of Lin Xuan.

After all, she was Three-Star, and might have stayed at Three-Star for a very long time before she died.

Superego Skill, and caught the eye of the Ninth Floor Master of the Deceiver Alliance. They also noticed that Hua Changsheng said 【subordinate】, rather than Reserve Teammate. From this, it could be seen that the BOSS of this Instance was much stronger than Lin Xuan.

"Everyone take a seat, choose freely." The woman raised her hand and gestured to everyone.

Seeing no one move, Hua Changsheng said: "I don't mind, I have time to waste with you all."

Hearing this, the five people had no choice but to randomly choose a chair and sit down.

"My rules are very simple. Put on the Game Helmet, and in the virtual world, each of you will create an Instance. The Instance rules will be identical to Hell's Instance rules."

"For each Instance, at least two of us six must participate. If you die in the Instance, you will also die in reality."

"Clearing an Instance earns one point. The person with the highest score at the end lives, the rest..."

"Will all be obliterated!"

"The sequence of the Instances opening will be decided by Drawing Lots. Let's begin, everyone."

Everyone: "..."

They all subconsciously reached for the helmets. They knew that the obliteration Hua Changsheng spoke of meant using the helmets to obliterate their consciousness.

Chen Ran lit a cigarette and asked: "If we kill you in the Instance, will this Hell Dungeon end?"

Hua Changsheng stared at Chen Ran, as if discovering a fellow enthusiast, and excitedly licked her lips.

"Of course it will end immediately!"

In other words, if Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong wanted to leave alive together, they had to kill Hua Changsheng before the final Instance ended.

"Wait, I have a question." The one who spoke was Lin Xuan: "Logically speaking, the third Secret Room of an Instance should be related to the main storyline, but I don't seem to have discovered the main storyline?"

Hua Changsheng closed her eyes speechlessly. The next moment, a Phantom Image of a Milk Dragon was projected out.

Opening its mouth, it sprayed at Lin Xuan: "Are you a fucking idiot! The main storyline is definitely in the Instance I create! How could you ask such an intellectually disabled question?"
