The King of Black Fog

"Control the instance difficulty?" Li Qianxia looked over.

"Forget about it." Xiaoyue knew what she was planning, "Even if you sleep with me, I can't help. We only have the authority to increase the difficulty of the instance according to regulations. Do you want that? The harder it is, the higher the rewards, oh."

"Then forget it." Li Qianxia continued to enjoy the scenery.

The Second Stage is not the First Stage; the opponents are no longer players, but events and figures from history. No one dares to claim they are invincible in the Second Stage.

If someone could be invincible in the Second Stage, that person would truly be the foremost person from ancient times to the present.

The train passed over the plains and entered a lake area; the water's surface was sparkling, occasionally interrupted by fish leaping out of the water.

"Do we also have to accept punishment?" Yang Qinglan asked.

"Of course." Xiaoyue nodded, "What I am telling you now, you'll have to forget it all."

"Then forget it." This time it was Li Changzhou who spoke, "We might as well travel around the world."

"Let's keep each other company in the mundane world, living carefree~" Li Qianxia began to sing.

"No, wait! We can negotiate!" Xiaoyue panicked and hurriedly poured some champagne she had been drinking for the two of them.

After pouring the champagne, she tried to say: "This way, I'll erase your memories but won't increase your instance difficulty."

"Qian Xia, where did you want to visit first?" Li Changzhou asked.

"Daocheng!" Li Qianxia immediately read from her phone, "There are rivers, lakes, and high mountain meadows, with three Divine Mountains standing in a tripod, surrounded by famous highland lakes like Pearl Sea, Milk Sea, and Five-Colored Sea!"

Xiaoyue rubbed her face vigorously, as if she wished she could scrub the skin off.

"Fine!" she abruptly stopped, her face looking as if she had just soaked in a hot spring, "I won't erase your memories, and this room will always be yours from now on. There are few players now, and no one has stayed in this room before. Besides you, no one else will be arranged to stay here. Happy now?!"

"Can't there be more?" Yang Qinglan spoke up, and Li Changzhou knew then that the bargaining couldn't continue.

Listening to this, Xiaoyue felt relieved, clearly thinking they were almost satisfied.

"I really can't offer any more, Sister. This is the utmost sincerity I can offer." Xiaoyue said with a pained expression.

Yang Qinglan nodded, satisfied with the outcome—not only was the issue resolved, but they also learned some information and obtained permanent ownership of a carriage worth 300 Game Coins.

Seeing her nod, Xiaoyue felt even happier.

"Later, go find someone to fight. When I shout to stop the fighting, then—" she snapped her fingers, "I'll erase everyone's abilities. With your physical fitness, beating the rest will be no problem."

After saying this, she quickly added:

"But you need to be quick about it. If those few fish die, we'll have even bigger problems. And remember, you absolutely must! Drag everyone into the water."

"That's difficult." Li Changzhou pondered.

"No problem, I can see your physical fitness! Without my Skill, you could last seven days and nights!"

"It's not about the physical difficulty, it's the psychological part." Li Changzhou said, "I have never actively hit anyone since I was young."

Xiaoyue pursed her lips, glaring at him angrily.

Never hit anyone, only killed?

"Tell me, what are your conditions?" she folded her arms, her arms propping up her chest.

"This instance, give us a reasonable role."

"Do you know how much a role costs!"

It was precisely because it was expensive that he asked for it.

"Hitting someone isn't about money, it's illegal." Li Qianxia hugged a pillow on the bed, pathetically like a little girl seeing a thief enter her home.

Xiaoyue's teeth, dazzling white, ground together loudly.

"Fine! But only the lowest role, and you!" she looked at Li Changzhou, "You don't need me to arrange your role. You have a white card; the game will automatically assign you a suitable role. Also, no more conditions!"

"That's it, that's all." Li Changzhou stood up, rolling up his sleeves, "Sister Xiaoyue, who should we hit?"

"Hit yourself first!"

Xiaoyue angrily grabbed the collar, leading Li Changzhou out of the private room.

Li Qianxia quickly jumped off the bed and pulled Yang Qinglan to follow and join in the excitement.

Arriving at the open carriage, Xiaoyue signaled with her eyes, and Li Changzhou grabbed the Spider Lady hanging from the ceiling, yanking her down.

The Spider Lady's moth fries scattered all over the floor, her eight eyes looking bewilderedly at him.

Li Changzhou punched her in the stomach.

"Oof, ah!"

Thump!

The Spider Lady shot out like a cannonball.

The carriage instantly erupted into chaos, a Daoist got knocked to the ground, a Monk's roast duck went flying, a medieval knight's helmet along with the table disappeared.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Attendant! There's a disturbance!"

The spider was fine; the punch, though fierce-looking, was all push force.

She stood up, shook her head, still unclear about what had happened.

"Am I handsome?" At this moment, a light voice came.

"Fuck! Kill him! I hate handsome guys the most!"

"Kill him, the Honey Pot World is in his hands!"

"First come, first served!"

"With the Honey Pot World, who cares about attendants! Kill!"

A braided official flung his braids, swayed a golden yellow flag, and a troop of braided soldiers emerged from nowhere.

A Daoist pulled out a ghostly talisman, casually tossed it, and an Explosive Flame roared forth.

The Minotaur took down his hammer, swung the iron chains, the air whistled menacingly, and no one dared approach within two meters.

The Lizard flapped its wings fiercely, emitting a ferocious roar.

"Woo—" The train sounded its whistle, thunderously entering a tunnel, darkness engulfing everything around.

"Don't fight! Stop fighting!" In the darkness, Xiaoyue shouted urgently.

Explosive flames burned, the firelight wildly distorted, and the shadows of everyone in the car stretched enormously, suddenly like a cave of demons and ghosts.
