45: Chapter 45 Let me help you

He had seen that wisp of blood mist before.

After several rounds of probing, Chen Fan no longer believed the system's so-called "dungeon" claims.

The so-called dungeons were, in all likelihood, real worlds.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Fan asked:

"Are the first two stages of the Daytime Instance still the same as last time?"

"Mm-hmm, still the same."

"It's just that the supplies have become scarcer, and the winner's rewards for the first two dungeons are gone."

"Then, are the enemies you encounter in the third stage strong?"

long time ship: "Not as strong as last time. They hadn't even finished building the city walls, and their only weapons were bows and arrows."

Demon: "Is it because our strength is poor that we were assigned a weaker one?"

Chen Fan nodded slightly:

"It's very possible."

The information provided by The Five Women once again confirmed his hypothesis.

The system attracting Players into the dungeons was for the purpose of achieving a certain goal.

The purpose of the Daytime Instance was, in all likelihood, related to that blood mist.

But if that were the case, the first two stages would be meaningless to the system.

Could it be specifically to provide some compensation to the Players?

Or perhaps, it was afraid that the Players wouldn't be able to pass the third stage, so it let them improve their strength?

He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

Chen Fan let out a long sigh and stopped dwelling on it.

"Keep an eye on the regional chat. If anyone is about to upgrade their sailboat, even if it's a loss, trade resources with them."

As soon as he said this, The Five Women were stunned.

Vase: "Why? I won't do a losing business deal!"

speechless ship: "Does Brother Fan have some new idea?"

Demon: "Tell us quickly."

Chen Fan smiled slightly, "I won't be entering the Night Instance today; let them scout the path."

Samo: "Could it be that something happened in the Night Instance?"

"Yeah, I encountered a tentacle attack. If I hadn't run fast, I would've been done for last night."

"Hiss..."

"Damn, why are those tentacles everywhere?"

"So annoying!"

"However, if he goes to the Night Instance, wouldn't our Mainline World be safe?"

Chen Fan's eyes flickered, but he shook his head.

That tentacle was clearly not from the Mainline World.

But he didn't say much more; saying too much would be of no help and would only make The Five Women more worried.

After trading some supplies to them, Chen Fan closed the group chat.

Because he felt the energy fluctuations of Chris and Kadel.

"Chris, Kadel, come out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a light flashed.

Two figures, one tall and one short with an exaggerated contrast, appeared on the deck.

"Where did you two go? Why couldn't I summon you?"

Chris scratched his head and giggled:

"Hehe, drank too much and slept groggily."

"Mm-hmm... bring some more wine."

Chen Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly, tossed a few bottles of beer over, and ignored them.

At this moment, Kuka also quietly approached and handed over a glass bottle.

"This is the magic dragon crystal core from that pirate ship."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up. After taking it, he took out his own crystal core.

The moment the two glass bottles touched, the energy number in Chen Fan's crystal core rose from 8 to 19!

The other bottle, after losing all its energy, turned into fly ash.

"Did you find out the use of this thing?"

Kuka shook his head, "No, I was recalled before I could ask."

"Fine, try to find out more information. Sail to the next island; just find one with yellow difficulty."

Chen Fan waved his hand and turned to walk into the bedroom.

It was still far from night, and there was nothing important to handle right now, so he might as well sleep for a while.

His still-dizzy head indicated that his illness hadn't fully recovered.

Just as Chen Fan dove into his blanket and soft snoring began to sound.

A green light flew out from his body.

Lairuilei lifted the quilt, crawled into the bed, rested her chin on one hand, and watched Chen Fan quietly.

The Five Women, following Chen Fan's instructions, created six more Players who successfully upgraded their sailboats.

The regional channel was constantly being flooded with messages.

"Haha, I also upgraded my sailboat! I'll open a livestream tonight to challenge the Night Instance."

"Big shot is awesome! Big shot is mighty!"

"What are you acting cocky for? I also upgraded. We'll see who pushes further progress then."

"Upgraded +1, let's go together."

"Auv, I thought only I had upgraded; it turns out there are so many."

"Master Jing, remember to livestream! I disdain watching the livestreams of those stinky country bumpkins."

"Who are you calling a country bumpkin above? Looking for death, are you?"

"Looking for death +1."

"Looking for death +10086."

Amidst the chatting and joking, time passed quickly.

The sun set, and the moon climbed to the treetops.

As soon as night fell, the schools of fish became frantic again.

But the Players were no longer what they used to be; even the worst had a level 3 bamboo raft, which was enough to defend themselves.

Chen Fan slept until nearly 11 o'clock before waking up.

In his groggy state, he smelled wafts of fragrance.

But after opening his eyes, there was no change in his surroundings.

Stretching, Chen Fan looked at the roasted meat in his space and couldn't help but feel nauseous.

These past few days, he had been constantly milking the infinitely respawning sheep-deer, and eating roasted meat had become maddening.

Curling his lips, Chen Fan decided to collect some other food; a balanced diet was the only way to ensure nutrition.

12:00 AM.

As the system sound rang out, countless cheers appeared on the regional channel.

Seven Players who had just upgraded their sailboats opened their livestreams like victorious generals.

Flying Sky: "Brothers, watch my performance!"

A light flashed, and under everyone's gaze, Flying Sky dove into the whirlpool.

Meanwhile, the other six Players entered the whirlpool without showing any weakness.

Fangs pondered for a moment, remembering what Chen Fan had told him during the day, and finally shook his head.

"It's not worth missing out on this day; let's observe first."

On the other side, just as Emperor was about to dive into the whirlpool, his heart suddenly skipped a few beats.

He narrowed his eyes and backed away.

Intuition told him that this action held great danger.

Although he didn't know why, his keen sixth sense had saved him many times.

"Could there be danger? Forget it, let's wait."

The facts were just as he had expected.

He didn't have to wait long; Flying Sky, who had just entered the dungeon and was still cheering for the audience, suddenly had his breath hitch.

He swallowed hard and slowly turned his head.

A scene that instantly stunned all the Players appeared.

A tentacle less than a meter in diameter extended from the vast black mist.

The Players who saw this tentacle had their breathing instantly freeze, and their hearts raced.

Subconsciously, the Players closed their livestream channels one after another.

After panting heavily for a long time, they slowly recovered.

Only Chen Fan persisted for a while longer, watching helplessly as the tentacle pressed against Flying Sky.

The huge suction cup opened, revealing a circle of ghastly white teeth, and bit onto Flying Sky's neck.

The next moment, the livestream disconnected.

Taking a few deep breaths in succession, Chen Fan suppressed the heaviness in his chest.

At the same time, his heart went cold.

The thing he was worried about had happened; the Night Instance had become a zone for tentacle rampages.

His idea of entering the dungeon to accumulate supplies had completely fallen through!

The Players who had regained their senses were frantically flooding the regional channel.

But Chen Fan had no heart to pay attention to that now; his brain was running at high speed.

"Ding dong."

A video call rang.

"What's wrong?" Chen Fan squeezed out an ugly smile.

Jiu Jiu bit her lip, her chest heaving rapidly; it seemed she had also been significantly affected.

"Is that the tentacle you were talking about? It's so terrifying."

"Yeah, the Night Instance is temporarily inaccessible."

"Then are your upgrade supplies enough?"

Chen Fan shook his head, "Still missing the last material."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Jiu lowered her head deeply.

A moment later, she looked up, her face slightly red:

"Then..."

"Then what?"

"Then let me help you collect the last material."

Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat, "Ah? Aren't you on your period?"

"Hmph! Dummy."

Jiu Jiu puffed out her cheeks, looking extra cute.

"Hurry up and apply for support!"
