Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"Yes, Chief, don't worry about me, just tell me what you've discovered," Zhou Baiyu replied.

Guang Tongchen obviously spoke very quickly—

"I must turn back now, I can't continue any further. I've reached the seventh chamber."

Zhou Baiyu had to admit, the Chief was really strong, breaking through four chambers in one hour.

But Guang Tongchen was well aware that his strength was due to those special traits—

"Orator" "Sixth Sense Player" "Perspective Taker" "Heart-to-Heart Sister."

He felt he could rename himself Xuanwo Tongchen without any issue, for this was like the ultimate ability to talk his way out of anything.

This was the first time Guang Tongchen had experienced a cheat-like sensation, as his words directly broke one lunatic after another.

Whenever he couldn't find a clue, his powerful intuition would lead him close to the answer.

With a little thought, he would find the clues to pass through.

This led to Guang Tongchen overcoming obstacles one after another, unstoppable in his momentum.

One strange lunatic after another fell to his "Please let me speak" technique.

But early success did not mean it would always be smooth sailing.

"I've encountered a... very difficult problem. Jiang Xianwu, I may have to turn back and choose another path that leads outside the hospital."

"As I keep getting closer to the depths of the asylum, my corruption value has reached seventy-nine... I'm hearing a lot of strange voices in my head now."

"I currently have a temporary trait—Sixth Sense Player. This must be the reason why my intuition has suddenly become so sharp."

"And my intuition is telling me that I'm not prepared enough... If I rashly approach that room without a way to suppress the corruption, I may not be able to return."

"I'm very unwilling... There's a voice in my head urging me to rush in, regardless of anything. I really want to do that..."

Zhou Baiyu realized the seriousness of the situation.

The Chief was likely close to the secret of the asylum.

Why would such an asylum exist in the post-apocalyptic era?

There must be another powerful corruption species inside, or... perhaps some kind of treasure.

But in reality, many of the so-called challenges are impossible to complete.

"Chief, don't hesitate any longer, hurry and leave! Right now, immediately!"

Also possessing the Orator trait, Zhou Baiyu's words could also reach Guang Tongchen.

With corruption values seriously exceeding the limit, reaching dangerous levels, Guang Tongchen's mind became clearer.

"Alright!"

He didn't report any further and immediately started running in the direction away from the dark end of the room.

At the same time, Guang Tongchen thought he heard the call of a loved one.

"Are you leaving... Come see me..."

"Don't go, don't go, the exit is this way."

This voice almost stopped Guang Tongchen in his tracks, seemingly filled with a strong seductive power.

Fortunately, the conversation between Zhou Baiyu and Guang Tongchen wasn't over, and Zhou Baiyu kept urging Guang Tongchen on.

Guang Tongchen bit his lip and started to flee towards the light.

"Every summoning to the Advanced World is very much like a game, but actually... games have solutions. The summonings of the Advanced World don't necessarily have one."

"A place like the Worm Tower is, for newcomers, an unsolvable presence. Reality and games are different, reality often truly aims for your life."

"Of course, whether something has a solution or not is relative. At least this time, we were not prepared enough; we lacked a bit of luck."

Zhou Baiyu tried his best to persuade the Chief, urging him to let go of his reluctance.

The call ended quickly.

He showed a look of concern, unsure if the Chief could safely get out of the asylum.

Fortunately, such concerns didn't last long. A few minutes later, Zhou Baiyu suddenly received a message—

[Your teammate has successfully escaped the asylum. Friendship Ends Mode completion reward—When Guang Tongchen is teamed up with you, your traits will be in a blazing state.

When Guang Tongchen teams up with you, his skills will be in an overleveled state.

This status is permanently effective.]

Huh?

The anxious Zhou Baiyu suddenly received some good news.

"Defensive mode yields physical items in reality, Friendship Ends Mode gives a team boost... not bad. Seems I should get closer to the Chief," Zhou Baiyu thought.

On the other side, Guang Tongchen, whose evaluation had already popped up, also showed a smile.

Unfortunately, Guang Tongchen only received an A rating.

He couldn't even influence history, but based on the rewards on the cruise ship before, plus the version being 2.30, he also received a substantial Advanced World reward.

The Friendship Ends Mode reward, in particular, caught his attention.

"It seems... I should spend more time with Jiang Xianwu, find a way to meet him in reality."

...

...

Guang Tongchen had once again completed the challenge. His summoning came to an end.

Even though he had no influence on the asylum, at least, both he and Zhou Baiyu now knew that in version 2.30... no, it should be said that even earlier versions, there was a terrifying asylum.

Inside, there might be an existence that even demons wouldn't dare to approach lightly.

...

...

After Guang Tongchen left, Zhou Baiyu and Midel also had a long heart-to-heart.

Midel too learned about some matters concerning the Pioneers. Or to say, she learned a lot about human history.

Since the pitch-black environment sparked no interest in the matter of pulling up radishes, naturally, the only thing they could do was to constantly exchange information.

In the few hours earlier, Zhou Baiyu had explained some methods of dealing with Reina to Midel.

In the following hours, Zhou Baiyu and Midel chatted like a couple secretly meeting.
