I hoped to see an expression called 【panic】 on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, from the start of the Instance until now, I have been battered to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting skills aside, eighteen of them could instakill me. Of course, I haven't gotten an inferiority complex to the point of counting that idiot Gao Lan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have thought about it. It should be because I had it too easy in my previous Instances, which led to me being too negligent in my control over details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found that ever since Chen Ran cleared Shu Renjun's Instance, he has been like a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words and his gaze have mocked me for being stupid more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, right after clearing Shu Renjun's Instance, he said to me: 【Yo, Lin Xuan, does your score here illustrate that the important thing is participating?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And another example:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Are you alright?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I'm very doubtful right now, apart from your spatial skill, what value do you have?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former Chen Ran would never have said these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should I put it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former Chen Ran gave off the feeling of a refined gentleman; the Chen Ran who came out of Shu Renjun's Instance gives off the feeling of a refined scum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this is Hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind of unpredictable, illogical, and baffling aggro-drawing behavior typical of Cannon Fodder in novels doesn't exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Hell players never do meaningless things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, this level of verbal attack is like an ant trying to shake a tree to a Heart Cultivation player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heart-killing doesn't exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But next, Chen Ran carried out emotional heart-killing on both Shu Renjun and Hua Changsheng, and it seemed very successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Showing favoritism?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, is he sick in the head? He just gave me a simple emotional heart-killing, but threw out a devastating blow of emotional heart-killing at the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I also want to be... emotionally heart-killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahem, however, he probably doesn't know about my experiences before death yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll let it slide this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then again, I vaguely feel like he is hinting at something to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, I am at the First Realm of Lingtai; it's impossible for me to be emotionally heart-killed. There's no need for him to make an unnecessary move and say unpleasant things to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I lit a Cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking ahead at Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong, who were constantly being stared at by the two Wooden Men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, I had a kind of...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense sense of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's even stranger is that when my intuition captured this sense of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An inexplicable fear of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared fixedly at Chen Ran's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murderous intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt his murderous intent towards me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very strong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, is he crazy? Being stared at by Wooden Men, and still thinking about how to kill me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I cultivated my heart to the First Realm of Lingtai, intuition rarely appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is intuition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When experience, knowledge, deduction, and logic are unclear, they blend into a result in my brain. Namely, knowing the result but not knowing the reason why. It is my brain reminding me:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chen Ran wants to kill me!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the Ninth Floor Master, my skill is very important, therefore I am important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I am important, therefore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am very important to Chen Ran. He has no reason to kill me in this Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, I no longer have value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem is, my skill cannot be taken away by others. As long as my skill is still there, I am very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can't figure it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I silently took a puff of my cigarette. I really wanted to run up, grab Chen Ran's collar, and say: If you have something to fucking say, can't you just say it straight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt this was Chen Ran's test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I performed too poorly earlier, leading Chen Ran to temporarily give me a pop quiz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I fail the exam, there is a high probability he will kill me in this Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there is an exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he should have told me the exam questions long ago, or hinted at them to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fucking thank you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's decided. Later, when the effect of Eternal Kingdom ends, I will go to other spaces and mercilessly scold the Chen Rans in those other spaces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppress Mental State!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well sort things out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did Chen Ran do and say after Shu Renjun's Instance ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First: Right after clearing the stage, Chen Ran immediately followed up with an Eternal Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second: Chen Ran emotionally heart-killed me, and emotionally heart-killed Shu Renjun and Hua Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third: He and Qiu Yinong preempted me and seized the square grids of the two rows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Analyzing them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First: What did it mean for Chen Ran to use Eternal Kingdom immediately upon clearing the stage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious: to prevent being set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was worried that while he was in Shu Renjun's Instance, Shu Renjun and Hua Changsheng would use their skills to set a trap in the Third Secret Room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he used Eternal Kingdom the very first moment he cleared the Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second: What did it mean to emotionally heart-kill me and emotionally heart-kill the other two?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The focus should be on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, by emotionally heart-killing me, Chen Ran was doing useless work, yet he still chose to emotionally heart-kill me, which meant...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a deeper meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He denied my intelligence, but he did not deny my skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, according to the deduction, as long as my skill is present, I am very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This conclusion seems to have a problem...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, I will not die easily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran will definitely hold onto me and not let go, and his skill can ban my use of skills for an hour. Therefore...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we form a special team, I will frequently encounter situations where I cannot use my skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these times, I need to have enough intelligence to protect myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don't have this level of intelligence, even if Chen Ran doesn't kill me in this Instance, I might be killed by other players in the next Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the players Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong match with are all... either a Hunter Team one Star Rating higher, or outstanding elites two Star Ratings higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don't have enough intelligence to protect myself when my skill is banned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, dying in this Instance is no different from dying in the next Instance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is Chen Ran's logic for wanting to kill me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The topic of this pop quiz is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should I protect myself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Ran's view, I am already facing a life-and-death crisis right at this moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran had already deduced in Shu Renjun's Instance that I would face a life-and-death crisis right at this moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How is this possible!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deducing up to here, I canceled my originally suppressed Mental State; I needed pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand I used to hold my cigarette was shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because I knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Ran acts in the style of the School of Military Momentum, and what the School of Military Momentum is best at is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dealing with various unexpected situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Chen Ran deduced an unexpected situation in Shu Renjun's Instance, so he handed this unexpected situation over to me to handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this unexpected situation, if I don't handle it well, I will die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hm?
