197: Chapter 197 The Snake Woman's Gaze

Previously, Chen Mo had obtained one jesters dice because of the Ocean Avenue dungeon.

Now, with this other dice, golden halos appeared on the surfaces of both materials in his backpack simultaneously.

This meant Chen Mo could activate the synthesis function to combine the two materials into one item.

Chen Mo clicked on the two materials, dragged them, and connected them together.

Immediately, a golden light appeared, blindingly bright, almost completely obscuring his vision.

As the light gradually dissipated, a six-sided die with a different jester expression carved on each face appeared before Chen Mo's eyes.

[ Item: jesters dice, ID: A479 ]

[ When you need it, cast this die, and it will randomly bring you elemental power. ]

"An A-grade item?" Seeing the item ID, Chen Mo rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it.

He immediately cast the die to test it.

After the die flew into the air, it landed in Chen Mo's palm and spun rapidly.

Soon, a face wearing a wizard hat appeared.

Immediately, a message popped up before Chen Mo's eyes.

"Do you want to use the Warlock's power?"

"So, by possessing this die, I can use the powers of the six basic professions? Holy crap!"

Although he couldn't unleash all the characteristics of the basic professions, this meant it would be much easier for Chen Mo to disguise his own profession.

Using it once would consume 500 Mental Value, making it a mentally taxing item.

Chen Mo's current Mental Value was 1200, so he could use it at most twice.

After some thought, Chen Mo decided to save his horror coins; for one thing, the shop employees needed them.

On the other hand, if he encountered an NPC like the Dorm Manager, he would still have money to continue bribing them.

[ Group Leader: In 10 days, a Killing Dungeon will be held. Those who survive will follow me to promote to the No. 4 Management Group. ]

[ Sunny Turns Cloudy: Great! Finally getting a promotion! ]

The Administrators in the group were all cheering, and then the Group Leader explained the content of this meeting.

He said the purpose of this meeting was mainly to discuss how to get the buddies in Management Group No. 5 into the No. 4 Management Group.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"What does that mean? ... Are there Management Groups above Management Groups?"

At this moment, Chen Mo felt as if his worldview had been shaken.

He had originally thought that this Management Group No. 5 was just a simple numbering, like school building numbers.

Although some were big and some were small, their status was actually the same, and their functions were the same.

But listening to this now... it seemed that wasn't the case; the level of the No. 4 Management Group was clearly higher than Management Group No. 5!

Promotion was a good thing, but it didn't include probationary Administrators.

If you all leave, who will leak information to me in the future?

Chen Mo was a bit anxious and pondered for a while in his mind.

He wanted to see if there was any way to sneak into the No. 4 Management Group.

If the current experts in Management Group No. 5 successfully entered the No. 4 Management Group.

And Chen Mo and these probationary Administrators successfully unlocked the permissions for Management Group No. 5.

But by then, Chen Mo would probably already be level 20 or higher, and dungeons below level 20 would be useless to him.

It would be better to just keep being a probationary Administrator and keep climbing up.

After all, his main goal was to make money and unlock more dungeons through the phantom cube.

As of now, his understanding of the Management Group was still too little.

[ Blooming Chrysanthemum: By the way, where is Old Eight? Someone as active as him, how come he isn't drawing horror blind boxes or saying anything? ]

[ Dabian Superman: Probably still sleeping. Didn't he say he was dehydrated and needed to rehydrate? ]

[ Blooming Chrysanthemum: Oh, then I hope he drinks well. I don't know if he washed his bathtub; every time he sleeps, he soaks in a pitch-black bathtub. ]

In a certain seaside town, a sea-view Villa was built against the sea.

The tide often rose here, and when typhoons hit, they could sometimes sweep away all the houses near the sea.

However, this Villa stood firm all year round, and even the furniture inside was waterproof. Even with seawater backflowing every day, it had no effect at all.

The owner inside even liked living in such an environment.

But today, the tide was not rising, and the doors and windows of the house were all closed.

The doorknob turned, and a black shadow walked out from inside, snapping its fingers lightly.

The doors and windows opened instantly, and after the enclosed space was released.

The seawater stored inside was spat out all at once, but what was spat out today was red, bloody water.

Old Eight was indeed sleeping; he was lying in his bathtub, but it was different from usual.

Today, he would never wake up again.

Looking closer.

All eight of his arms had been chopped off by someone and thrown into the trash can.

And his head had also disappeared.

11 days later, the guild members were all sitting in the meeting room.

It was almost 9 PM, and Jiang Xinyi and Jiang Xiaoyun would automatically enter the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio dungeon.

Chen Mo had also prepared the scroll and materials; he just needed to ignite them to follow everyone into this dungeon.

"You are all level 20 now and have the ability to protect yourselves, so... surviving shouldn't be difficult."

Based on the theme everyone was entering, Chen Mo and Jiang Xinyi roughly analyzed the things they might need to pay attention to.

This made everyone feel much more at ease.

The ones who really needed to be careful were actually the three of them—Chen Mo and the others.

"Well then, see you in a few days!"

Blue light surged from everyone's bodies, and it was the same for Chen Mo.

The vision before his eyes gradually twisted, and then, the system prompt that should have popped up did not appear.

Instead, he saw a tall, nightmarish figure appear before him!

It was a creature covered in cyan scales, a snake, and its size was as towering as a mountain range.

Just watching that huge body stretching and writhing on the ground, Chen Mo felt a strong sense of physical discomfort.

"Hahaha, you've come. I've caught you!"

"Return my bone-scraping knife... to me, little thing."

bone-scraping knife? Is this the Snake Woman?

The creator of this item!

Chen Mo was terrified and quickly ignited the parchment scroll, and the blazing fire flared up.

In an instant, it carried his body, which should have landed, and transported it to another different dimension.

Chen Mo moved at high speed in the air, reaching above the clouds, and saw the other party's face clearly.

Two snake eyes glowing with golden light stared fixedly at him.

Just by making eye contact for 1 second, Chen Mo felt as if his brain was about to be split open by an axe.

Fortunately, the air in front of him was torn open, creating a hole pieced together by countless black lines.

After Chen Mo's body burrowed into it, those strange incantations that seemed to be in the Snake People's language finally disappeared from his mind.
