Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
The Xia family’s incident did not cause too much trouble. After all, the news was suppressed, and those who wanted to cause trouble were already involved.
After that, Mr. Xia opened the safe left by his wife. It was said that it only contained gifts that they had given to each other when they got married.
The biggest problem was that Master Xia Xi, who had attended the banquet that day, suddenly fell unconscious. It was said that he was too frightened during the banquet.
Although Gu Wuji caused a stir at the time, he believed that as time went by, everyone would forget his identity.
Those who wanted to get the position of heir in the Xia family were eager to cultivate a relationship with Gu Wuji, but they had no idea of Gu Wuji’s true identity, and they couldn’t find him at all.
Xia Yangshuo, the only one who knew Gu Wuji’s true identity, refused to reveal anything about it even to death. Others thought he was shamelessly blocking the news because of his good relationship with Gu Wuji, but only Xia Yangshuo himself knew… that Master Gu was actually a man! The request made by Mr. Xia was destined to be fulfilled by no one.
Gu Wuji, who caused an uproar in the Xia family, spent a very leisurely time afterwards. In addition to doing his daily work, he also exchanged his experience of copies with the teammates he met before in the virtual world from time to time.
Of course, reckless experience had absolutely no reference value.
At this time, Lu Yuanzhou, who had played two dungeons together with him before, came to invite Gu Wuji again.
“We definitely have good things coming to us this time!” Lu Yuanzhou’s tone was still very excited. He felt that he finally had good things coming to Gu Wuji.
After the previous dungeon ended, the conflict between Lu Yuanzhou and the organization became increasingly difficult to reconcile, and he finally chose to leave.
Of course, Lu Yuanzhou was still planning to find a new organization to work with. At this moment, by chance, he came into contact with a quite powerful organization. It was said that the top leaders of this organization even had high-level players.
After completing a certain dungeon, intermediate players would inevitably be assigned to a promotion dungeon by the system. Only by completing the specified requirements could they become advanced players. Otherwise, even if they survive by hugging others’ thighs, they would have to participate in a promotion copy next.
And this promotion copy was very mysterious, extremely difficult, and scary. If you could connect with experienced senior players, it would undoubtedly become a lot easier.
Lu Yuanzhou was also about to be assigned to the promotion dungeon, so he was determined to join this organization.
But of course it was not easy to get into such an organization. There were some trials to go through, and when Lu Yuanzhou was preparing for this trial, he immediately thought of Gu Wuji, who had not yet been organized.
In his opinion, Gu Wuji’s strength was already so strong, and he had caused so many amazing incidents. It was definitely more than enough to enter this organization through trials.
Gu Wuji was also very interested after hearing what Lu Yuanzhou said, and immediately asked him about the content of the trial.
“Speaking of it, this trial isn’t too complicated. It’s enough to enter the intermediate dungeon they designated and get one thing.” Lu Yuanzhou said.
Of course, this was definitely risky, but if a copy could guarantee that nothing would happen to you, it was better to seize this opportunity.
“That’s no problem.” Gu Wuji nodded. He was quite interested in this copy and the organization.
In short, as long as he was not asked to go to the last dungeon world again, it didn’t matter if he had no plans.
After all, if he went to the world of a dungeon again, it could no longer be said to be seeking death, it was simply suicide. Gu Wuji didn’t want to encounter being surrounded by several evil ghosts again.
After discussing it, a while later, Gu Wuji used the same method as last time and entered a dungeon with Lu Yuanzhou.
….
After Gu Wuji woke up, he immediately found himself in a hall. Everything in this hall as far as the eye could see was white, and there were no furnishings inside. It was extremely simple. There was only one entrance and exit. It did not look like a door that could be cracked by brute force. It needed to be unlocked with a fingerprint.
He looked down and saw that he was wearing a white coat, clean and tidy, giving people the feeling of a doctor or a scientific researcher.
Several people standing around were similarly dressed, and they all had solemn expressions. According to Lu Yuanzhou, these people all came here for the same purpose, to obtain something and enter that organization.
There seemed to be only one such thing, and at most two people could join the organization together. Therefore, even though the dungeon had not officially started yet but when they were just introducing each other, there was already a faint sense of competition among everyone.
Most of the people here seemed to be quite famous, although Gu Wuji didn’t know them at all… After all, his understanding of other players was really limited. If he didn’t have time to watch other people’s videos, he might as well try to figure out the characters in the new script.
When Gu Wuji used the pseudonym Sun Shi, several people around him looked at him with surprise. Obviously these people also knew what happened between Gu Wuji and the Mountain God… Although the previous copy was more exciting but because the screen was all black in the second half, outsiders only knew what happened earlier.
As a result, these people still looked down upon Gu Wuji, thinking that although he was quite famous and certainly had some strength, he was clearly not comparable to the others present.
When Lu Yuanzhou saw Gu Wuji, he immediately nodded to him. Then there was a look of indifference, as if the two of them were not familiar with each other at all.
The two of them had made an agreement before entering the dungeon that they would pretend to be strangers in this dungeon just like before, so that they could help each other if anything happened.
[You are special personnel hired by a big family with a high salary. You were sent to this remote research institute on a cliff by the sea. You are nominally asked to study some rare creatures, but something has gone wrong with this research institute since a long time ago. There are many rumors, not to mention that you have never been exposed to related things and have no knowledge in this area. What’s even more frightening is that it is said that the researchers who left it either fell into madness or disappeared themselves.]
[But even if you have doubts in your heart, all you have to do now is to perform your responsibilities. After all, the money given by the research is extremely important to you.]
[Trigger the main task: Complete the work assigned by the institute.]
Everyone’s expressions did not change much after hearing the introduction to the dungeon. They had more or less learned the background of the dungeon through various means before they came. But they really didn’t expect that this dungeon would directly point out that they didn’t have any research knowledge…
Gu Wuji had also looked for clues about this dungeon before coming here. It stood to reason that many people had completed some ordinary dungeons, and there would be more or less videos, and some people would still come out to express their thoughts on completing the level.
But this copy was extremely mysterious, and there was no news about it from the outside world. Of course, there were such copies… After all, the copies of this game were constantly being updated. In addition to the old copies disappearing for various reasons, new copies would continue to appear.
After all, according to Gu Wuji’s understanding, the world of these dungeons was already full of ghosts, and it was normal to trigger several new dungeons from time to time.
The clues purchased from the system mentioned the story of the Daughter of the Sea. The story ended after the Little Mermaid got the dagger given by her sister, which seemed to be hinting at something.
In addition, this was a research institute by the sea, and Gu Wuji had already vaguely guessed at the contents of this copy.
Could it be that the existence studied in this copy was a mermaid?
Or maybe it came out to save someone, but in the end, she was captured in this research institute and became a being to be studied, causing her to take revenge on mankind because of her resentment.
Thinking this was quite possible, Gu Wuji decided to wait until he entered to see if he could find out more things.
