27: Bust of Claudius
After washing his hands in the fountain, Liu Yan went up to the second floor of the hotel.
Bang bang ————!!!
After quickly eliminating two Asala Guard Soldiers with two shots, Liu Yan began searching at three secure points.
Finally, he found the main safe in one of the guest rooms.
“Hopefully, hands stained with bird poop will increase the drop rate.”
Liu Yan prayed, imitating Fuji.
After using his back to shield the military drone, Liu Yan began to enter the password.
6 D F U P
Click ————
“No way, I guessed it right again!!” Liu Yan shouted loudly.
After scrambling the password, Liu Yan reached into the safe and rummaged around.
Soon after, a fancy cup appeared in Liu Yan's hand.
“asala specialty wine cup?” With just one glance, Liu Yan recognized the cup in front of him.
Like the pirate gold coin, it was also a regular item found in large safes... Inside the classroom.
“Holy crap! It’s an asala specialty wine cup!”
A student quickly flipped through his textbook, then looked up and shouted.
“This one seems to be more expensive than the pirate gold coin Gao Tianyu found, right?”
“Doesn’t that mean God Yan can also be praised in a school-wide announcement? Our class is finally going to surpass Class 3!”
The student wearing black-rimmed glasses stood up excitedly, looking completely different from how he mocked Liu Yan two days ago.
“A wine cup is 60,000. How much has God Yan earned these past few days? Does he still need a wine cup to prove it?”
“No! Haven’t you noticed that with God Yan’s performance, in the past, it would have been announced long ago, but now, apart from our class, other classes don’t seem to know?”
“He’s indeed being manipulated by capital! Whose cake did God Yan disturb after all?”
Liu Yan could never have imagined that a mere asala specialty wine cup would cause such a heated discussion among everyone in the classroom.
Diamond Queen Hotel.
Liu Yan casually tossed the wine cup into the backpack behind him and turned to face the computer.
After turning on the computer, the familiar Morse code appeared on the screen.

--- Unlike in the game, there was no helpful hint chart below.
2 8 5
“Design blueprints? The drop rate this round is indeed good.” Liu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
As expected of a confidential item, in less than a minute, Liu Yan had already found two small gold items.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Liu Yan opened the red medical bag next to him.
In the game, there was also an extremely low chance of finding a resuscitation ventilator in a red medical bag.
And this was Liu Yan’s core purpose for entering the Third District.
After opening the medical bag, there was only one red syringe.
“big red needle?” A hint of joy appeared on Liu Yan’s face.
The big red needle was also called a physical enhancement agent.
Before Liu Yan entered, he had wanted to buy one but was told by the boss that he had never heard of it.
In the Longbow Stream Valley map, the big red needle was almost indispensable when evacuating.
During a long trek, once stamina ran out, if he happened to encounter a sniper, he would become a living target and ultimately fail to evacuate with tears.
Inside the classroom.
“Teacher Qi, what is this red thing?”
A student had searched through the textbook but could not find any corresponding record.
Teacher Qi squinted and examined it carefully, also having never heard of it in his memory.
“It must be something worthless, otherwise, it wouldn’t be unrecorded in the textbook…”
Teacher Qi’s voice was not loud when he spoke, and he lacked confidence.
If it were anyone else, Teacher Qi would have decisively said that this thing was trash.
But, would something that even made Liu Yan smile be that simple?
Diamond Queen Hotel.
Having only looted three containers, the combined value was already close to 200,000.
Liu Yan was in a great mood and prepared to go to the guest room across the hall to loot another computer.
Passing by the hotel’s King Room, Liu Yan habitually glanced inside.
With that one glance, Liu Yan’s eyes immediately lit up!
He saw that on the table in the King Room, there was prominently displayed the bust of claudius, a big red item worth nearly 2 million in the game!
“Holy shit!”
Even Liu Yan couldn’t help but get excited at this moment.
Liu Yan didn’t have a room card. If this were in the game, facing a red, locked door, he could only leave with regret.
But this was the Third District.
Bang ————!!!
After shattering the glass with a shot, Liu Yan measured the distance of the window frame.
Such a gap was not enough for Liu Yan to squeeze through.
Liu Yan continued to fire several shots at the window frame.
Bang bang bang ————!!!
It worked!
Liu Yan was overjoyed and then continued to pull the trigger.
Bang bang bang bang ————!!!!
After half a magazine of bullets, the window frame was completely destroyed.
Liu Yan casually pulled down the dilapidated frame.
“I’m starting to love it here.”
Liu Yan, who had successfully squeezed into the King Room, couldn’t help but sigh.
In the game, a King Room costing 4 million would at least let you check inside for big red items and room cards, which was already quite generous.
Not to mention a pure freeload like Liu Yan.
However, just as Liu Yan picked up the bust of claudius and examined it.
A grand classical symphony entered Liu Yan’s ears.
“How is that possible?!”
Liu Yan was startled by the sudden music, and the bust almost slipped from his grasp.
In the game, if there was a boss, one could hear music before entering the hotel.
Such a mid-game appearance was something Liu Yan could never have imagined.
However, what truly sent chills down Liu Yan’s spine was the conversation he heard next.
“Boss, you truly are prescient! As expected, a mouse took the bait!”
A guard wearing a Level 4 closed-back helmet constantly flattered Reis from the side.
“Hmph, these damned foreign rats, all they know is to come to the hotel and steal things!”
Reis, carrying an S12K shotgun, spat fiercely to the side.
Thump ————
Thump ——————
Reis strode towards the stairs, preparing to go up to the second floor.
At this moment, cold sweat was already seeping from Liu Yan’s forehead, and his hairs stood on end!
They had independent consciousness!
Previously, the Shield Soldier Liu Yan encountered at the ordinary Dam Zero, even with both legs broken, kept repeating the same lines as in the game.
But now, his situation was clearly a premeditated trap by the other party!
Without time to think, Liu Yan quickly stuffed the bust into his bag and ran towards the window.
From the conversation just now, the other party obviously already knew he was in the King Room.
Once they reached the second floor, he would be completely trapped inside.
Bang ————!!!
Liu Yan, who was about to squeeze out the window, was forced back by a gunshot.
At this moment, Reis was already standing at the stairwell, and this position allowed him to precisely shoot at the window where Liu Yan was!
Seeing Liu Yan retreat, Reis’s rough voice boomed, echoing throughout the entire hotel:
“What, you stole something and think you can just leave?”
The sound of footsteps grew closer.
Whoosh ————
At this moment, Liu Yan in the King Room was pressed tightly against the nearby wall, trying to control his breathing and ponder his next move.
However, just then... Drip ———
A faint sound rang out, and Liu Yan looked in the direction of the sound.
He clearly saw that the door lock had changed from red to green...
