After subtracting the points he had just spent on daily necessities, he now had 7,500 points left.

Bai Lixin looked around the mall. It was divided into three categories:

Life category, Props category and Strengthening category.

Bai Lixin clicked on the Props category and saw an item.

[Substitute Doll (limited to 1 purchase; can die in place of the player once; requires 1000 points)]

Bai Lixin spent 1000 points to buy a substitute doll and threw it into his system backpack before he continued scrolling.

Most of them were consumable items, such as speed boost for three minutes, force value increase for a short time, etc.

After closing the Props category, Bai Lixin opened the Strengthening category.

The Strengthening category was the most expensive of the three categories, but its effects were permanent.

If the Props category allowed for a quick and short-lived ability boost, the Strengthening category was the long-lasting type of permanent enhancement.

Flesh/body enhancement, sensitivity enhancement, vision enhancement, etc.

But the points consumed in this area were also huge. The lowest level of physical enhancement costs five figures in points.

As Bai Lixin scrolled down, he suddenly stopped at one place.

Surprisingly, one could also raise their luck value?

It would cost 10,000 points for every point of luck value raised?

Ten Luck Points to raise one level?

Bai Lixin quickly made a mental calculation as to how many points were between him and Xia Chi. Finally, a word was squeezed out of his mouth.



Early the next morning, several people met at the café in the game hall.

Bai Lixin was rich and generous, ordering a cappuccino for each person, costing a total of 250 points.

Li Cancan glanced at Bai Lixin gratefully and took a sip of the steaming cappuccino with both hands.

The long-lost rich flavor slid down her throat and into her esophagus, and she almost cried out.

The rest of the group sat down and talked about how they were doing. Excluding Bai Lixin, Xia Chi had earned the most points, with a total of 1500, while the rest got 1000 points each.

Zhou Guang felt a bit guilty, “I’m the oldest among us and I called everyone out to thank Bai Lixin, but I didn’t expect to make you spend money.”

Bai Lixin added another packet of sugar to his cappuccino, “It’s nothing for me, I have more points. When you have the chance to leave this hellhole, it’s not too late for you to treat me again.”

Zhou Guang said, “Okay, it’s a deal!”

As he said that, his expression froze for two seconds, and his gaze sank slightly, “But then, all our memories of this place will be gone too, right?”

The originally happy atmosphere immediately fell silent.

Bai Lixin opened his points bar, which still had 6,500 points in it.

Just as the group each fell into their own pessimism, several people received a system alert tone at the same time.

[Ding! Player Bai Lixin is presenting you with 1000 points.]

[Accept / Decline.]

The four jerked their heads up almost simultaneously and looked at Bai Lixin in surprise.

“The points mall is holding a discount on ‘substitute dolls’. You are the first people I met in this world, so I hope we can have the chance to sit here again next time.”

Li Cancan hesitated for a long time with her finger over the ‘Accept’ button, then finally gritted her teeth and chose ‘Decline’.

Several others also made the same choice as her.

Bai Lixin raised his eyebrows.

Li Cancan, “You’ve already helped me a lot. I can’t keep getting your help without a bottom line. Don’t worry, I’ve grown up a lot and learned a lot from you guys. I can definitely survive even without the substitute doll.”

Liang Xi and Zhou Guang, “Us too.”

Xia Chi, “Brother you are underestimating me. I have an A in luck!”

Bai Lixin didn’t continue to insist, “I plan to enter a new copy the day after tomorrow.”

Liang Xi, “The day after tomorrow? So soon?”

Bai Lixin, “Yeah.”

He was different from them. They just needed to have enough points to be able to maintain their living conditions.

But he was different. He needed to find out the truth about this world as soon as possible.

Having been unable to find any clues in the game lobby, the only way to get to the more internal aspects of this game was to work his way up the ladder.

Xia Chi, “I’m planning on the day after tomorrow too, brother. We’ll work together! We’ll meet again when we get out.”



[Ding! Welcome players to the mid-tier bureau copy [Blood Clan], player participation number 50. Total points: 10000. Distribution is determined by performance rating.]

[Ding!]

[There is a reputable Earl of the Blood Clan called Mr. Mo. He has a beloved wife called Lady Rose. To celebrate his wife’s birthday, Mr. Mo hosted a feast in the castle, but on the day of the feast, Lady Rose died unexpectedly.]

[Mr. Mo was so distraught that he ordered the castle to be sealed off. If the culprit is not found after four days, he will slaughter all the people in the castle to avenge his wife’s death.]

[Survival task: Survive in the castle for four days and four nights. Find the real murderer of Lady Rose.]

[Additional task: Kill Mr. Mo.]

[Ding! Because the player won the MVP in the previous copy, he will be awarded an extra prop. Player, please make a throw.]

A dice with “?” on each side emerged from the darkness. Bai Lixin threw the dice, and it rolled several times on the ground before finally coming to a steady stop.

[Ding! Congratulations to the player. You have obtained the special item [True Ancestor Advent X1] You can only use it once. Effect: You can summon the True Ancestor of the Blood clan to accompany you in this copy of the game.]

Bai Lixin: [??? What did I draw? You mean I drew the Count’s father?]

System: [???] Oh My God, what did he just draw?

System: [Ahem. The True Ancestor is the ancestor of all Bloods and belongs to the First Generation of Bloods. Mr. Mo is a Generation Four Blood, so you drew Mr. Mo’s grandfather, to be precise.]

System: [A friendly reminder to the player; the card’s utility is only responsible for summoning the True Ancestor and does not sign a master-servant contract. In other words, everything that the True Ancestor does is uncontrollable.]

Bai Lixin: […Can I also decline using it?]

System: [Hehe.]

System: [Once the summoning card is drawn, it automatically takes effect when you enter the copy.]

System: [The copy scene has been loaded, and the game will start immediately. I wish the player a happy game.]

With those words, the system quickly played dead.

A white light flashed in front of Bai Lixin’s eyes, and a strong smell of blood immediately hit his nose.

He opened his eyes and froze when he saw the scene in front of him.

He was in a very ornate and solemn old castle. He and the other players had leather collars around their necks and were kept in individual cages. They were laid out like merchandise in the middle of the hall.

And all around them were people.

No, one shouldn’t call them people, one should say Bloods.

In the hall stood many Bloods, men and women, all handsome and beautiful.

The features of these Bloods resembled those of humans, except that their eyes were red and they had two pointy ears.

Their skin was pale and bloodless, and their features were more three-dimensional and delicate.

The man sitting in the C position on the high platform was tall and lanky. His red eyes were tinged with sorrow and determination. This was probably to the owner of this ancient castle — Mr Mo.

Mr. Mo, “I want you to find the murderer of Lady Rose within four days. If you fail to find them, I will kill everyone here, whether they are a Blood or human, I will not spare any of them!”

Mr Mo paused and his voice softened slightly, “But you will still be the most honored guests of my ancient castle during these four days and these humans will still be your food. However, you are not allowed to kill them.”

“All right, open the cages and go choose your food.”

The players who heard these words all turned an angry red as the bustling Bloods came slowly towards them like vultures that had caught the scent of meat.

The moment the cage opened, several of the players immediately dashed out in a single bound and were about to run for the hills.

However, although they were fast, the Bloods were even faster.

Several Bloods caught up with the players in a few steps and dragged them to Mr. Mer like a sack by the belt around their necks.

Mr. Mo’s voice was as cold as frost in the waxing moon, “Food that does not obey has no right to live. You can enjoy these few food items.”

After hearing these words, the Bloods all had greedy expressions on their faces as the straps around the players’ necks were untied.

The moment they were untied, countless Bloods pounced on the players, tearing the clothes off their bodies and opening their sharp fangs.

Some bit into the players’ wrists, others bit into their necks.

Blood quickly flowed from the players into their mouths, and the players wailed and begged for mercy, only to be met with more frantic biting and sucking.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the few players.

“Bai Lixin?! You are Bai Lixin!”

Bai Lixin looked over at the voice, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance; the blacksmith from the last round.

The blacksmith had been bitten to the point where his face was pale and bloodied.

He held out his hand towards Bai Lixin pleadingly, “Bai Lixin, aren’t you very powerful? Didn’t you say you would take everyone out? Save me, you can definitely save me! Please save me!”

This cry not only drew the eyes of all the players to Bai Lixin, but the lofty Mr. Mo also turned to look at Bai Lixin.

Dressed in the garb of an eighteenth century European aristocrat, with a cloak over his magnificent garments, Mr. Mo propped up his cane, rose up from his luxurious throne and walked over to Bai Lixin.

He looked down at the caged Bai Lixin with an unfriendly gaze, “He was calling for you, and he said you were taking everyone out. Are you the mastermind of this escape?”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Would you believe me when I say that this is a disaster star from heaven?
