Chapter 146: Exploration Mode

[Ding! Congratulations for passing the third puzzle.]

[Entering exploration mode... time: 15 minutes]

Exploration mode?

At the same time Han Yichen heard the notification, the other three had reached the shore. When they pulled Duan Wang to the shore, they heard the system’s notification rang and then they looked at each other.

So the mission was actually very simple?

Just bring Duan Wang to the shore?

But their mission panel clearly showed that they had to uncover the secret of the river ghosts...

This meant that for them to pass the third puzzle dungeon, they didn’t actually need to complete the third mission.

*sigh*

’And here I think that the Live Stream Horror Survival Game was going to kill all of us.’ Huo Yingsu was so tired that she laid down on the ground, not willing to move.

There were only 10 minutes of exploration time, but Hou Yingsu felt that her hands were numb.

"So... what’s the secret behind the river ghosts?" Ye Lin asked while panting. He felt that these two people were cheating. When they cooperated together to row the boat, he had to row his raft on his own.

It was so tiring!

Paddling, paddling... and then he was almost left behind.

Tsk.

"It should be something that Han Yichen found down there," Yu Zhihao said while panting as he dragged Duan Wang’s off shore. The man had fainted at some point of time but the three of them didn’t seem to care in the slightest bit.

It’s fine even if Duan Wang fainted.

Anyway, as long as they completed the Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s tasks, it meant that they could leave.

As for the exploration mode...

Splash!

At this moment, Han Yichen came out of the water while carrying a stack of ancient coins on his hands along with some porcelain pieces that he managed to salvage.

"Han Yichen!"

"What happened down there?"

"How did you complete the third puzzle?"

The other three immediately started a barrage of question while Han Yichen climbed up. He looked at the three people speechlessly and said, "You’re the one who completed the third puzzle dungeon."

"Huh?"

Seeing their confusion, Han Yichen could only start explaining.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game never intended for them to complete the four missions from the very beginning.

The four missions:

[1] Complete the puzzle dungeon

Group Mission:

[2] Kill at least 10 zombies in total

[3] Complete the puzzle dungeon without any loss of the members

[4] Uncover the secret behind the river ghost

...

The first one just required them to complete the puzzle dungeon until the very end, which was relatively easy as long as they didn’t seek death...

Probably.

Huo Yingsu definitely wouldn’t agree if it was said that the puzzle was easy, though.

She had experienced how bad the Live Stream Horror Survival Game could be, pushing her towards her death again and again.

If it was not because her mental fortitude had been strengthened, Huo Yingsu felt that she really wanted to file a complaint letter.

The second mission required them to kill the zombies from the first puzzle and everyone could basically complete it as long as they were brave and smart enough. If they couldn’t complete the puzzle, they would end up failing from the very beginning.

The third mission required them to cooperate together with their temporary team members.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not intentionally make things easier or more difficult for them.

If they have team card and had used the entire slot, it meant that there wouldn’t be any other temporary team members and everyone could participate in the Live Stream Horror Survival Game together.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not purposely make things difficult and separate their team members.

But if they couldn’t reach 5 people, then it would add someone else.

As for who it is..

It seemed random?

Anyway, none of them knew who Bai Tingting is even though the Live Stream Horror Survival Game arranged for her to become part of their team.

And then the fourth mission is practically the hardest mission that could only be completed by risking their lives. Just like in the ordinary world mission where they could barely possibly complete the third mission and only one player in that Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s dungeon could possibly complete it.

The fourth mission was not designed for ordinary people to complete it.

Huo Yingsu was only somewhat lucky to be able to complete it on her first ever Live Stream Horror Survival Game.

There was no guarantee that she would be able to complete the second or even the third one.

And in this puzzle game dungeon...

It was obvious that only Han Yichen had the possibility of completing the fourth mission.

"So, did you complete the fourth tasks?" Ye Lin asked straightforwardly. He didn’t care too much about the Live Stream Horror Survival Game as a whole and only cared whether he could get some reward from the settlement later.

After all, the settlement would not happen when they were still in the game dungeon but afterwards.

"It should be." Han Yichen let go of his hand and the coins scattered on the ground along with the broken porcelains.

The other three looked at the ancient coins, not understanding what Han Yichen was doing. Ye Lin thoughtfully used his ability once again and his eyes colors turned different, one black and one white as he scrutinized the ancient coins.

"Hmm... some of them has higher ghost energy compared to the others. It’s even deeper than the one Duan Wang brought out back then," Ye Lin commented. He couldn’t quite understand the reason, but he knew that his eyes would be able see the truth of the ghost energy at all times as long as he used his ability.

"That’s right... these ancient coins are used as a medium to seal up the ghosts," Han Yichen said. ℯℯ𝘭.

"Why seal up the ghosts?"

"For sacrifice."
