Chapter 107: Lost Song of the Deep (End)

After thirty minutes, the cruise ship slowly moved away from the storm. The bodies of the sirens were stacked in front of the two gates, and the remaining sirens eventually retreated back into the sea.

Ye Nianchu's hands were so tired that she lost consciousness, continuing to fight the sirens purely on instinct.

As the sun rose, it painted the clouds in bright colors, and a gentle breeze blew across the blue sea.

Ye Nianchu closed the curtains and finally managed to get some restful sleep.

On the 19th day of the game, the Goni was heading back to its original course.

By the 20th day, the Goni was getting closer to finishing its journey.

A soft breeze brushed across the deck, the sea shimmered gently, and a few white clouds dotted the sky with sunlight streaming down.

Ye Nianchu leaned casually against the guardrail, her eyes reflecting the deep blue of the sea.

She was unsure how many points she would earn this round and hoped it would be worth it.

Qin Mubai reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "See you tomorrow, sister."

At that moment, the system's voice echoed in his ears: [Congratulations player, you have completed this round of the game ahead of schedule. Pass Points: 1000. Hidden Mission Points: 30.]

Before Ye Nianchu could respond, her vision gradually blurred.

[Congratulations player, you have completed this round early. Pass Points awarded: 1000; Hidden Mission Points: 50; Unlocking progress increased by 10.]

In the blank white space, the system's player information screen appeared.

[Player: Ye Nianchu Grade: F Points: 1270 Unlock Progress: 32]

With 1000 points and 10 more for unlocking, this was a good result.

Ye Nianchu closed the file on her desk and went to the study to handle some documents.

At ten o'clock on Monday morning, Assistant Zhang arrived to report on his work as usual.

Although Ye Nianchu had been away from China for six months, she had remained in control of the Ye family's affairs, except for the initial period when her condition was too poor to manage anything.

"How are things going?" Ye Nianchu asked, casually spinning a pen.

"Everything is going smoothly according to your instructions," Assistant Zhang replied, holding several documents. "However, there's one thing. The other party has recently been in close contact with a power in M continent. We haven't yet identified which one."

Ye Nianchu was not surprised. It would have been unusual if the Shadow Alliance had not discovered this sooner.

"Keep investigating and inform me as soon as you find out."

"Yes, Miss."

Ye Nianchu glanced at her phone and then closed the file on her desk. She got up and went downstairs.

The assistant who had just come out of the office saw someone and froze for a few seconds, recognizing them as Miss's boyfriend. Curious, he discreetly took a few more glances before leaving, sure that Ye Nianchu had brought her boyfriend with her.

Ye Nianchu looked at the lock on the door and pulled Qin Mubai back to take a fingerprint before they drove out.

She had mentioned she would join the organization this time. Today, Qin Mubai was bringing her along to introduce her to some people in the organization he led.

"Are you also involved with that organization?" Ye Nianchu asked, unsure.

Given their time playing games together, Qin Mubai didn’t seem like he was part of any organization.

Qin Mubai thought for a moment before responding, "In a way."

So, the boss was behind the scenes.

Inside the clubhouse, everyone stood up neatly as soon as Qin Mubai entered.

Duanlou's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the girl entering. If he wasn't mistaken, this was the girl from the painting!

Chapter 2 (Peachland)

Chapter 2 "It's not impossible," the man across from her said, picking up some food with his chopsticks. "The system doesn’t reveal anything, and there's no response when we ask." Deng Lan agreed. She had been watching a drama at home, and then, in a blink, she was suddenly in this game. She couldn’t quit; it felt like a bad deal she had no choice but to accept. She had never seen a game this awful. Luckily, she was fortunate. When she met Ding Qi, another new player, Deng Lan was relieved to finally find a teammate. Being alone in the game was scarier than being pulled into it. "Why don’t we stay near the town exit and, on the sixth day, leave right away at dawn?" Deng Lan suggested. A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ding Qi’s eyes, but he didn’t show it. He seriously analyzed, "I think the game won’t let us pass that easily. The closer we get to the exit, the more dangerous it might be." Deng Lan didn’t know what Ding Qi was thinking, but hi

Max-Level Big Shot in the Survival Game

When Ye Nianchu is brought back into the game as a newbie, her bad luck seems to follow her everywhere. As she searches for clues, she heads straight for the BOSS. But stockpiling supplies turns into a crisis as she struggles on the way. "This game is too hard," she mutters. "Maybe all my luck was used up just meeting Qin Mubai." When they first meet, Ye Nianchu sees the boy with a paintbrush and thinks, "This NPC is really good-looking." Later, though, the boy holds a craft knife like a killer, but his smile is both kind and harmless. "Others are just trying to survive," she thinks. "He’s just playing a game. What kind of game is this? Can I report him for cheating?" In this game, players face a peaceful town that suddenly becomes a dangerous apocalypse, songs from the deep sea, a train that disappears mysteriously, a strange rainforest, and a weird sanatorium. "Danger keeps coming. Players either finish tasks to leave or die in t

Chapter 5 (Peachland)

Chapter 5 There were meals available at the B&B, but of course, they cost extra. After dinner, Ye Nianchu went up to the public terrace. From there, she could see the entire town at a glance. Smoke rose from the chimneys along the riverbank, and her gaze fell on the Huanzhen River. On the sixth day, if she couldn't leave this place, the mission would fail. The first day was almost over, and she didn’t have much time left to figure out how to pass the game. As the wind blew through the mountains, lifting her hair and the hem of her clothes, she suddenly noticed a figure. On the other side of the terrace, in front of an easel, sat a young man. He was tall and had a handsome, upright figure. His face was like it had been chiseled by a master sculptor. Pale skin, delicate features—he looked like a portrait come to life. Even from a distance, Ye Nianchu found it hard to look away. The boy held a paintbrush in his hand. His fingers were long and elegant. His clean, gentle appearance

Chapter 11 (Peachland)

Chapter 11 Some people, curious about the scene, came closer and quickly felt sick. The thought that the fish they had eaten for a midnight snack last night might have come from this river only made their fear worse. "I never want to eat fish again," someone said, shuddering. Nearby, several tourists who had stayed at the same B&B as the deceased, along with the B&B owner, stood together, looking very worried. The person they had shared a meal with just yesterday was now dead. "I saw Deng Lan last night; how could this happen?" Zhou Yun said, trembling. "Boss, did Deng Lan leave the B&B last night?" someone asked. The B&B was small, run by the owner herself, with no other staff except for a cleaning lady. The owner usually stayed at the front desk until locking up for the night before going to bed. The owner, looking pale and nervous, hesitated before answering, "I—I don't know. I didn’t pay much attention." The owner knew Den

Chapter 6 (Peachland)

Chapter 6 "As for the early clearance, those who got their qualification today might be S-ranked players," Wang Hai said. Wang Hai was still searching for someone, so he couldn’t give more details. Liang Zuo and Zhou Wen felt anxious but tried to hide it. They were beginning to think Wang Hai, who bragged about being a top player, seemed more like a con artist. "You newbies don’t know anything," Wang Hai said, glancing at them. "Since we're in the same game, let me give you a tip. For newbies like you, besides completing the quests, you should avoid top S-ranked players." "If you meet someone else, you might get lucky and clear the game with them. But if you run into one particular player, you’d better be careful." "Who?" Liang Zuo asked, leaning in. "We don’t know his name, but his last name is Qin. He’s an S-ranked big shot. It’s said that in one game round, almost everyone died, not because of the game, but because of him. T
