Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Secret Passage

Song Jian wore a drunken look on his face, his eyes filled with a dazed expression. His body was like a puppet, swaying towards the bar counter.

He had barely taken two steps when a flash of white light enveloped Song Jian, pulling him back to sobriety.

“What happened to me?” Song Jian looked around with a puzzled expression, the memory of his previous drunkenness still fresh in his mind. He quickly opened the system’s information interface, his facial expression turning sour.

He was in a drunken state, his mind out of control, with one of humanity’s random desires amplified to the extreme. This time, the desire amplified due to his drunkenness was “arrogance”.

Then, Fiana cast a Charm spell on him. If it were not for his passive talent skill “Thick-Skinned” coming into effect, by now, Song Jian would have been making a mockery of himself.

“So it was a talent skill after all,” Fiana curled her lip in disdain as she said, quickly losing interest in him. She then lazily pulled out a velvet cloth and began to wipe a glass.

“Phew-” Song Jian let out a breath reeking of alcohol. When he started drinking the “Rainbow”, it didn’t even taste like alcohol, but the further down he went, the more intoxicating it got. In a matter of seconds, he was drunk. If not for the passive activation of his “Thick-Skinned” ability, he would’ve likely passed out by now.

“Little Cheap Brother, I can recruit five more waitstaff and ten bouncers…” Li Ke’er said, looking at the recruitment interface.

Song Jian and Wang Qi had given all their Doomsday Coins to Li Ke’er for her to recruit more staff. After all, every extra recruit equated to a boost in their Combat Power.

“Go ahead and recruit everyone available,” Song Jian said, his words slurring from the liquor.

“Alright!”

An enveloping white light appeared, revealing five individuals dressed as waitstaff and ten burly men with hardened faces – the newly recruited personnel.

“Hello, boss!” the group of fifteen bowed towards Li Ke’er as they greeted her.

“Ha ha, hello to you all!” Li Ke’er curved her eyes into crescents, laughing merrily, “This game is so much fun, ha ha!”

“Ke’er, are there any other defensive structures you can build?” Song Jian asked.

Once the Safehouse is completed, the monsters outside will start breaking in.

“It seems like 1 can also build a secret tunnel from the bar basement leading to another street!” Li Ke’er said softly while browsing through the building interface.

“What, you mean, we can leave the bar through this secret tunnel at any time?” Song Jian asked with a jolt.

“Yes, once the secret tunnel is built, we can leave the bar through it directly,” Li Ke’er nodded.

“How long can this tunnel be? Can it reach my place?” Song Jian’s eyes darted as he asked.

“It seems possible, but it requires too many materials — over ten thousand!” Li Ke’er furrowed her brows after working through the operations and added, “And I also need your consent to proceed!”

Soon, Song Jian received a system message.

System: Player Li Ke’er has requested a link to your Safehouse. Do you accept?

Accept!

The ground trembled slightly before returning to its calm state.

“It’s completed, Little Cheap Brother. I really can’t build anything else now,” Li Ke’er said with a pout.

“Phew, you should be satisfied with this secret tunnel. Even if you fail this main mission, as long as the secret tunnel is there, you can rebuild your Safehouse for a second attempt… This game is really kind to you,” Song Jian shook his head with a sigh.

Other players are only given one chance to complete their main missions. Once the hordes of monsters break through the Safehouse, the incoming wave of beasts would simply drown the players without giving them a second chance.

However, Li Ke’er could utilize the secret tunnel to escape before her Safehouse was breached by the monsters. As long as she survived, she could rebuild her Safehouse, giving her a second chance.

“Is that so? But I don’t want to escape. I want to complete this task in one go. After that, I’ll be the tavern-keep, hehe~” Li Ke’er giggled suddenly, apparently amused by some thought.

Just then, the green light pillar outside began to fade and eventually shattered like glass.

Roar-

A wave of roars from outside the bar sailed through the air, making everyone tense up.

“So noisy!” Fiana frowned, taking a quick glance at the bar’s entrance, and ordered with a wave of her hand, “You guys, head to the door and tell those bastards to quieten down.”

“Alright!” Several waitstaff quickly walked towards the door of the bar.

Li Ke’er froze and then wore an anxious look. Those waitstaff are all level one. Going out there now is like serving themselves to the monsters on a platter!

“Hey, you guys…” Li Ke’er raised her hand, wanting to call them back.

“Wait, Ke’er, let’s see what happens,” Song Jian pulled Li Ke’er back. He had noticed Fiana’s extraordinary intelligence, which was considerably higher than that of the Bloody Shadow Poison Tree, Alex.

Song Jian wanted to see just how capable Fiana truly was.

Fiana gave Song Jian a nonchalant look, stifled a yawn and stretched lazily, her fine figure coming into view.

Wang Qi was already gaping, practically drooling, and Song Jian’s gaze uncontrollably drifted towards the bar counter.

Boom-

At that moment, several mutant zombies surprisingly broke through the bar door and began swaying their way in.

Song Jian’s face changed dramatically.

“How is this possible? Even a level one Safehouse’s defense, it’s impossible for the monsters to break in within such a short time. What’s going on?”

Looking up, Song Jian’s eyes widened in surprise. The monsters surrounding the bar seemed to see the bar door as the only entrance and were charging towards it frantically.

They did not show any desire to attack the walls around the bar.

A level-one bar’s defense is 1,500 points, while the bar door, a mere wooden door, has a defense of only 200. It would take only minutes for several mutant zombies to break through it.

As the door broke, the waitstaff’s faces changed. They instantly pulled out steel pipes from their clothes and began attacking the intruding mutant zombies.

Thump, thump, thump-

Swinging their steel pipes, the waitstaff managed to knock the mutant zombies to the ground. They then started blocking the bar door, fiercely attacking the incoming wave of monsters.

For a moment, the three waitstaff at the door were like floodgates of a reservoir, halting the flood of monsters outside, leaving Song Jian dumbfounded.

“Why aren’t these monsters attacking the walls? Are they stupid?” Wang Qi had been watching for a while and asked weakly, glancing at Song Jian with confusion in his eyes.
