Trembling At A High Altitude

At midnight, the two were transported back to the big house.

Knowing that the basement was just for show and simply an advanced training project, Liu Yin decided to continue running in the stone cave.

Li Teng, on the other hand, started the day after day parkour training in the basement.

From the conditions in the mirror frame paintings, at the end of the parkour, there was also a treasure chest.

Time edged closer day by day to the end of the 60-day countdown.

With the Time Index in Li Teng's hands, he could end the 30-day countdown before the 60-day countdown was up at any time.

But the instance wasn't completed yet!

The treasure chest at the end of the parkour hadn't been seized.

The seventeenth and eighteenth floors below ground had not been explored.

The iron gates on the second floor hadn't been opened.

Director Liu Shiyuan was too wicked! Was he trying to kill those with obsessive-compulsive disorder?

In the real world, Li Teng always made sure to complete all the side quests of his favorite games, and he would achieve every possible ending of the main storyline before he would put it down. Otherwise, it felt like there was something unfinished, causing discomfort in his heart.

The same was true for this scriptworld.

The others, especially Gao Fei, Elsa, Huang Xun, Luo Bijiao, and even Mrs. Guo, probably wanted to leave here as soon as possible, to escape the day after day torture.

The Octopus Monster didn't appear every day, and Li Teng could only handle the Octopus Monster. On other days, they were still enduring a torture worse than death.

...

Despite his reluctance, Li Teng didn't end the thirty-day countdown and even chose to sleep in the mornings on purpose to reset the thirty-day countdown.

However, he couldn't stop the sixty-day countdown, which still arrived as scheduled.

When the sixty-day countdown ended, and everyone woke up in their beds in the bedroom, the countdown on the screen on the wall in front of them had disappeared and was replaced with two options.

"Do you wish to exit?"

"You have one hour to make your choice."

You could choose 'Yes' or 'No'.

"Extra number 4193658 has exited."

"Extra number 4145102 has exited."

"Extra number 4137596 has exited."

"Extra number 4145073 has exited."

Before long, four prompts popped up at the bottom of the screen.

From the sequence of the numbers, it appeared that Luo Bijiao, Elsa, Gao Fei, and Huang Xun were the four who had exited the script.

And they seemed to have left eagerly.

There were four people who hadn't left yet.

Li Teng stared at the screen without immediately making a choice.

Someone knocked on the bedroom door.

When he opened the door, it was Liu Yin standing outside.

"Are you leaving or not?" Liu Yin asked Li Teng.

"I... am not leaving," Li Teng replied to Liu Yin.

Liu Yin seemed unsurprised by Li Teng's decision.

"I've decided to exit," Liu Yin said after a moment of silence to Li Teng.

"Okay," Li Teng didn't try to persuade Liu Yin.

The cruelty here wasn't something ordinary people could withstand.

"Good luck, I'll see you outside the chamber!" Liu Yin wanted to say something more to Li Teng, but not knowing what else to say, she just offered her wishes.

For Li Teng, what lay ahead might be 60 days of solitude.

But Liu Yin felt that he didn't need her company.

To her, maybe after just a cup of coffee outside, Li Teng would emerge from the transport chamber.

The flow of time inside and outside the Time Bubble was different.

"See you outside the chamber," Li Teng didn't say much either.

Liu Yin waved to Li Teng and walked back to her own bedroom.

"Extra number 4179856 has exited."

It wasn't long before Li Teng's bedroom screen received another prompt.

After a while, two more prompts showed up on the bedroom screen.

"Extra number 4194527 has exited."

"Extra number 4194526 has exited."

Without a doubt, this was the military couple's cue to withdraw.

I hadn't expected them to withdraw as well.

It's likely that for Guo Haopeng, the prospect of defeating Li Teng had become non-existent and that treadmill of despair had left him feeling hopeless; thus, persuaded by his wife, he too had left.

Li Teng chose 'No.'

The next moment, the countdown reappeared on the screen.

The 60-day countdown had been reset.

The 30-day countdown remained unchanged from before.

Below the characters for 'male' and 'female,' only 'male' remained.

Now, in this Scripted World, only Li Teng was left.

Li Teng went to the kitchen and after busying himself for a while, he prepared several dishes.

After eating quickly, he packed some food into plastic bags, placed them in the storage space, and then headed straight for the basement.

Only the bored are lonely.

Those with a purpose are never lonely.

In the days that followed, Li Teng kept running and climbing without stopping.

His body became more flexible, his reactions faster, and many movements he had not been able to perform before, he could now execute with ease.

He spent his Time Index on exchanging for Energy Drinks and food.

When the Time Index was nearly depleted, upon encountering a newly spawned Octopus Monster and Bear Rhinoceros army, he could earn tens to hundreds of millions with just one battle.

With a foundation in parkour, Li Teng's combat style became more agile, to the point where he no longer wore Armor, relying instead on his nimble movements to avoid any effective damage from the Octopus Monsters and Bear Rhinoceroses.

With a large energy drain, and unable to sleep continuously, the 30-day countdown inevitably reached its end.

The 30-day countdown disappeared, replaced by the words 'Prison Break.'

Li Teng had ignored it all along.

...

More than forty days had passed.

Li Teng's parkour journey had finally come to an end.

The Grim Reaper that had been following him also vanished.

There was a platform.

On the platform was a treasure chest.

Inside the treasure chest lay two treasures.

A handgun and a key.

The treasure chest also offered the exchange of magazines.

The handgun was worth one million Time Index points.

After exchanging for the handgun, Li Teng used the rest of his Time Index points to exchange for magazines.

A magazine with 10 bullets cost ten thousand Time Index points.

One bullet was worth ten thousand Time Index points.

That was extremely expensive.

Reading the manual, Li Teng loaded the magazine and disengaged the safety on the handgun.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Despite complaining about the cost of the bullets, Li Teng still couldn't resist and began shooting around as soon as he got the gun.

In a short time, he had emptied a magazine.

Listening to the sound and feeling the recoil of the gun stirred his blood.

What man could hold a gun and not shoot it?

That key must either open the elevator to minus 17 floors or the iron gate on the second floor, right?

Back in the elevator, he quickly figured it out after some testing.

It was the key for minus 17 floors.

This handgun must be an important tool for getting through level minus 17, mustn't it?

The difficulty must have increased yet again.

Without any rest, Li Teng descended to minus 17 floors.

As the elevator doors opened, he took out the handgun, loaded it with a magazine, disengaged the safety, and crouching, he entered.
