"Mm." Qi Zeming nodded slightly. "But I''m not sure, I just hope it won''t be our turn."


    "I have a question. When I first arrived, I was number 99, but there are only about thirty names here."


    Shen Yue suddenly noticed that there were very few names up there, clearly only a portion.


    "That''s because, supposedly, the room numbers of the top fifty aren''t displayed. Once you reach the top fifty, they have a lot of power. After surviving a small world, there are supposedly rich rewards, though I don''t know if that''s true."


    "It''s true!" Another familiar voice chimed in.


    Shen Yue turned to look. It was Xue Yangyang.


    Her complexion had improved a lot. Her naturally curly long hair cascaded down her back, making her look very ladylike. It was eye-catching.


    Because they had survived together in the last small world, they were more familiar with each other than with others, and instinctively gathered together.


    "How do you know?" Qi Zeming asked.


    "I heard it from Fan Quguang."


    "Fan Quguang?"


    "He''s the tenant of Room 70. I just met him, but he has much more experience than us, so he naturally knows more information."


    Shen Yue asked, "What else does he know?"


    "He said he''s been through several small worlds, and each one is different. Of course, in each world there are things that want to kill you. If you''re unlucky enough to get caught by those things, then..." Xue Yangyang didn''t continue, but her meaning was clear.


    The more information she learned, the more Shen Yue regretted coming here.


    She had really been duped.


    "Shen Yue?" Xue Yangyang suddenly stared at Shen Yue.


    "What?" Shen Yue looked up expressionlessly.


    "When you have a cold expression, from certain angles you look a bit like Kunyao." Xue Yangyang suddenly didn''t know how to put it, "It''s just, similar, not that your faces look alike, it''s..."


    "Is that so?" Shen Yue grinned fakely, "Beautiful women all look a bit alike."


    Perhaps because those fake smiles were too fake, Xue Yangyang wisely shut up.


    "What are you talking about?" A cool voice sounded from behind.


    Shen Yue''s heart skipped a beat.


    These people really do like to appear from behind.


    "Nothing much, we were talking about tonight''s welcome party. Tonight, new people will appear in the apartment. We just don''t know which world they''ll enter, or how many will come back."


    Kunyao didn''t seem surprised, appearing very indifferent.


    Shen Yue felt a bit uncomfortable.


    "I''m feeling a bit hungry," she said, her gaze starting to search for food.


    But the next second, the apartment''s waiters came with delicious food, even stopping in front of Shen Yue for her to choose.


    Shen Yue didn''t stand on ceremony. She chose a place to sit down, directly ordered a plate of food, and started to enjoy it.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.


    "Don''t look at me, if you''re hungry, eat too." Shen Yue said after eating a few bites leisurely, noticing their gazes.


    This was the good thing about the apartment - no worries about food and clothing, only life was in danger.


    Qi Zeming saw through her facade and said admiringly, "You''re really brave."


    Many people were so worried they could barely eat. Because they didn''t know when they might suddenly enter some small world and be killed by monsters or ghosts or whatever.


    Constantly worrying.


    Shen Yue didn''t pay them any more attention. She ate a few more bites leisurely, took a sip of water, and found that her few acquaintances had all dispersed, gone who knows where.


    "Excuse me, sorry to bother you."


    Just as she was about to get up and leave, someone suddenly approached her.


    Shen Yue looked up to see a man, a handsome man.


    "Wang Jingshan?"


    The other person was a bit surprised: "You know me?"


    "I don''t, I just know your room number," Shen Yue said.


    She had just glanced at the screen, where all the tenants'' information was recorded clearly. Knowing his name was simple.


    "Oh, I''m honored." Wang Jingshan smiled, his gaze sweeping over Shen Yue, "I''d like to chat with you, Shen Yue."


    The two walked to the side. Shen Yue also saw other tenants gathering in twos and threes, though some quickly dispersed.


    "What did you want to talk to me about?" Shen Yue didn''t like beating around the bush.


    "It''s like this. I''ve been in the apartment for a while now, and I know a bit about the small worlds inside." Wang Jingshan paused. "If you want to survive here, I can help you."


    "Really?" Shen Yue showed a delighted smile, "You can help me?"


    "Shh." Wang Jingshan made a hushing gesture, "Come with me."


    Shen Yue immediately nodded and followed him upstairs.


    "Did you know? The people chosen to enter the small worlds here aren''t random."


    As if to gain Shen Yue''s trust, Wang Jingshan said this in a low voice as soon as they reached the stairs.


    "Ah?" Shen Yue showed a surprised expression.


    "You didn''t know this, did you?" Wang Jingshan was about to say something more when someone walked by, and his voice instantly dropped.


    Shen Yue and he brushed past that person. The next second, she recognized him as Fan Quguang, the tenant of Room 70.


    The man also saw her, but only glanced at her, not paying much attention.


    After entering the elevator, Wang Jingshan''s voice became a bit louder.


    "You''ve been through one small world now. Of those who entered that world with you, only a few of you came back."


    Shen Yue nodded: "Yes, it was terrifying in there. We almost didn''t make it back."


    "Don''t worry, there are techniques to surviving in here. I''ll explain it to you properly in a bit." Wang Jingshan said with a smile, while putting his hand on Shen Yue''s shoulder.


    "Really? I really didn''t know. Where should we talk then?"


    "In this apartment, only the tenants'' rooms aren''t monitored. Let''s go to my room."


    Shen Yue''s gaze fell on his hand. She narrowed her eyes and smiled, nodding.


    Before leaving the elevator, she looked back at the camera inside.


    Wang Jingshan stopped in front of a door, his expression seeming a bit excited. It was clear he was very happy.


    Shen Yue was also very happy, waiting for him to open the door. As soon as it opened, she followed him in.


    A few minutes later, the door opened, and Shen Yue came out.


    Behind her, lying weakly unconscious on the bed, was the man.


    Shen Yue clenched her palm, satisfied, and left.


    She still took the elevator down.


    There were far fewer people on the first floor, only a small portion of those from earlier remained. Shen Yue immediately spotted Kunyao.


    She was sitting in a corner, doing who knows what.


    As Shen Yue was walking over, she suddenly stopped, because her attention was drawn by another person - Fan Quguang from earlier.


    The tenant of Room 70.


    This man, nearly forty years old, was drinking alone, very relaxed and at ease.


    Looking at him, Shen Yue momentarily thought this was just an ordinary restaurant, and they were all just regular customers.


    In an instant, she became curious about this man.


    However, after hesitating, Shen Yue didn''t choose to go over. She still went to Kunyao''s side.


    "Why are you alone?"


    "Is that not allowed?" Kunyao knew it was her without looking up, and replied.


    "How dare I say that." Shen Yue sat down opposite her.


    "I saw you go upstairs just now. You came back so quickly?"


    Shen Yue was stunned, not expecting that she had been seen.


    "Oh, the tenant of Room 80 said he wanted to tell me some secret, but he was actually just a pervert. I taught him a lesson, and he behaved."


    "How did you teach him a lesson?" Kunyao sneered, "With the light in your hand?"


    The light in her hand?


    Shen Yue''s body stiffened for a moment.


    Her gaze fell on Kunyao''s face, feeling a bit uncertain. What was this?


    "Since you know, why bother asking?" Shen Yue said, trying to sound relaxed.


    Kunyao didn''t speak again.


    Shen Yue could feel that the other''s mood seemed very irritable, with a heavy air of hostility around her.


    No wonder she was sitting alone, with no one around.


    "I learned about a method for teaming up," Shen Yue said in a low voice after thinking for a moment.


    "Teaming up?"


    "Yes, teaming up in the small worlds. This way, when we enter a small world together, we can stick together. The chances of survival are much higher."


    Kunyao looked at her: "You and me, team up?"


    "Is that not allowed?" Shen Yue asked in return, "Or do you have more suitable candidates? Let''s team up, just take me along."


    Shen Yue waited for a few seconds, but the other didn''t speak.


    "So, what do you say? Do you agree?"
