Chapter 569: [A Profound Lesson]

In the following few days, everything was peaceful. Chen Ran stayed cooped up in his room reading books.

Until he only had a bit over 5000 Points remaining.

Today.

He learned from the Bartender that Si Jincheng had already arrived at the 11th floor. At the same time, Shang Yun also entrusted the Bartender to hand over that only Decryption Card to Chen Ran, meaning...

They could go out.

"With your current Mental State, the Six-Star boss of this world fundamentally isn't even worth looking at in front of you. If you guys want to go out, I'll open the space tunnel for you." The Bartender said, looking at Chen Ran who was playing with the Decryption Card.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Manufacturing a Six-Star boss would definitely consume something.

Even if manufactured, it would only have the fate of being insta-killed by Chen Ran, so it would be better to just let them go.

"2000 Points." Seeing Chen Ran not speaking, the Bartender offered a condition.

The Bartender sighed: "To tell the truth, I also cannot determine her location. It should be shielded by someone, and moreover, starting from the day you cultivated the Second Realm of Lingtai."

Chen Ran pondered.

Chen Ran took the Bartender's 2000 Points and handed over all the Decryption Cards. Right before leaving, as if he thought of something, he asked: "With the strength of my current Mental State, what Star Rating is it equivalent to?"

"You being able to insta-kill Luo Xingchuan means you are already of the Half-Step Superego Mental State. The Half-Step Superego Mental State is very special. Under normal circumstances, players can only reach it when they are Nine-Star. However, there are many players stuck at Seven or Eight-Star. Therefore, among these two Star Ratings, some old monsters who have been stuck at their Star Rating for decades are also very likely to be of the Half-Step Superego Mental State." The Bartender said.

However, the Bartender shot a surprised glance at the dumbfounded Chen Ran: "That shouldn't be ah. The Half-Step Superego Mental State can premonition the existence of the Superego Ordeal of Self-Loss. Logically speaking, you should know the strength of your own Mental State now."

Chen Ran didn't speak. He returned to the hotel and quietly waited for the Hell Great Escape to end.

He locked the room door properly.

Sat cross-legged on the bed.

Closed his eyes and began to search his own memories, cognition, thoughts, etc.

Determined that there were no problems.

Thinking up to this point. He closed his eyes and arrived within the Distance-Free Technique. He looked at the four Chen Rans of [Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Happiness] and gazed fixedly for a long time without discovering any clues. Thus, he closed his eyes.

It didn't take a moment before a sixth Chen Ran appeared within the Distance-Free Technique. This Chen Ran's body was bound by countless Iron Chains, and not long after, disappeared again.

Having no clues, Chen Ran frowned and immediately exited his Distance-Free Technique. But when his consciousness exited the Distance-Free Technique, one of the four Chen Rans revealed an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.

…

Over the next few days, Chen Ran was consolidating the Second Realm of Lingtai and practicing its proficient application.

About five days passed.

The four people gathered in Chen Ran's room. Lin Xuan frowned and said: "I can cultivate the Second Realm now, what do you guys say I should do?"

His meaning was that he was afraid of being sneak-attacked when he underwent his Second Realm Loss of Self.

After all, every player's Second Realm Ordeal of Self-Loss was not a joke. At the moment of speaking the lie, if one was sneak-attacked, there wouldn't be the slightest bit of room for resistance.

"Then just cultivate it." Chen Ran looked at the nervous-faced Lin Xuan with a strange expression: "I really don't know who would come to kill you?"

Ever since cultivating the Second Realm Heart, Chen Ran realized The All-Knowing and Almighty's plans. They would remote-control Lin Xuan's Star Rating to remote-control the Star Ratings of Chen Ran and Qiu Yinong. Therefore...

Whoever dared to sneak attack Lin Xuan during his Second Realm Loss of Self at this time—fundamentally there would be no need for Chen Ran and the other to make a move. The All-Knowing and Almighty would pinch to death the person preparing to sneak attack Lin Xuan.

Chen Ran was envious, jealous, and hateful.

"Ah?" Lin Xuan said bitterly: "Really no one will come to sneak attack me?"

The three people didn't want to talk nonsense with him. If he was truly not at ease, he could just let the Chen Rans and others in the other spaces go protect him.

After saying that, the three got up, preparing to go to the bar to experience some extreme sports.

Over the following few days, they tried rock climbing, swimming, shooting, a five-kilometer weight-bearing run in the bar, as well as the kind of Boys and Girls Rush Forward where one could obtain a refrigerator while alive.

Besides this, they also learned high-altitude parachuting, hotwiring cars, wilderness survival, and many other techniques that might be used in Instances.

It had to be said, perhaps it was due to Heart Cultivation that allowed them to learn very easily.

The three even learned how to fly a helicopter, although their skills weren't very good; it could be considered being prepared for contingencies.

Of course, the majority of the time, they were undergoing physical training.

…

A few days later.

Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze exceptionally excited, revealing wild joy on his face.

Chuckling, laughing loudly, laughing wildly.

"Wahahaha! I succeeded! Is this the Second Realm of Lingtai?!"

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, feeling that even the air of Hell was filled with the aura of freedom.

"The air here is truly sweet!"

However, when he opened his eyes, he discovered the Bartender (Cleaning Auntie Version) was passing by in front of him carrying a pile of garbage.

Lin Xuan's head was full of black lines, but very quickly he started to act cocky again.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan felt it was necessary to give Chen Ran a profound lesson.

Before, being tricked into lying a hundred times, having his mentality exploded a hundred times—even now thinking about it made his heart go cold.

…

The three finished their training and dragged their exhausted bodies back to the hotel.

The three arrived at the corridor and saw Lin Xuan had once again put on that suit vest of his. He combed a slicked-back hairstyle, his hair shiny—ghosts knew how much hair wax he applied. He leaned his back against the wall, his right leg slightly bent, a cigar dangling in his mouth, striking a very dashing pose.

The three were covered in sweat and anxious to return to their rooms to take a shower. They only shot him a glance and then walked towards their respective rooms.

"Chen Ran." Lin Xuan voiced out, calling Chen Ran to a stop. Immediately, he slowly turned around, looked at Chen Ran, and instantly pulled him into the Distance-Free Technique.

But, the next moment...

Lin Xuan collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
