127: Chapter 110: Irreversible History 127: Chapter 110: Irreversible History “Are you sure you don’t want to come in?” “Get a room with you? My reputation would be ruined, meow! I’d rather sleep in the hallway!” “Fine, then throw the cat in.” “Little White won’t follow you, she’s afraid of you, she’ll follow me… Little White? What do you mean? You said he’s super scary…” However, it turns out that a cat who understands humans, is actually even more practical than Shuiyun had anticipated. Seeing Lu Ping’an open the door and wave, Little White meowed and swiftly slipped through the crack. The other side of animals with higher intelligence is that they can overcome their natural dislikes for good or bad, based on their own interests. By taking out cat food, a warm blanket, and a cozy shelter, Lu Ping’an successfully wins over the real cat. With the real cat now, who would care about the fake cat? Let her sleep in the hallway of the inn. In the middle of the night, awoken several times by the shivering girl, feeling the increasing chill and the subtle sense of danger, she finally couldn’t bear it any longer. “…I’m coming in! You better not tell my brother, meow. I’ll sleep on the floor. You… Lu Ping’an, you heartless! You even locked the door! Open the door, meow!” Lu Ping’an, who was hugging the real cat, changed his posture and slept even more soundly, with earplugs in his ears. Is there danger at night in a strange environment? If the big cat can’t sense it, then there’s no point to being cautious. “Meow! Do you dare to lock the door but not open it?” Lu Ping’an was sleeping so soundly that banging on the door was pointless, it only attracted the innkeeper who came to collect compensation for the noise. “This door, just two thousand, go on. What are you waiting for? Hmm, if you continue to hammer, there’ll be a disturber fee…” In an instant, the cat went silent. But in a sense, it was also Lei Shuiyun’s own doing. The reason? She’s poor and stingy. This place has a typical tourist economy. Although the Secret Realm mostly lasts for 15 to 20 days before ending and there’s only one chance to enter, people still come and go in the meantime. Even without the advantage of the lowest difficulty in the first few days, the beginning usually has the highest population flow. Several times the resident population is a conservative estimate; it can even go up to tens of times. And here, there is no price regulation department, it’s purely a “market-based operation”. “Two thousand five hundred a night, there are a few rooms left, please decide quickly. If it gets later, it will be three thousand, and the last one or two rooms in the middle of the night will be five thousand. No money? If you don’t have money, you can go to the camping site over there, they play all night, just be careful of thieves and such. There are many professionals, and there should be quite a few evil cultists in need of sacrifices.” There are only a few inns in the first place, and most professionals actually make do with sleeping outside. The inns have long been fully booked. The ones that aren’t full are just holding rooms, waiting to slaughter new customers, and this psychological price should really be the limit…High average income for professionals does not mean that low-level professionals can achieve a balance of payments. This time, Lu Ping’an really didn’t trick the cat, he even promised her brother to take care of her, Lu Ping’an volunteered to pay for her rental, she could just pay him back later when she has the money. After all, she already owes a lot, he wouldn’t really push for the payments. “Meow! Two thousand five hundred a night? No way, even if you killed me, meow!” But this cat, would really rather sleep in a tree than be a sucker. So, when Lu Ping’an opened the door the next morning with a yawn and a cat on his shoulder, he was greeted by a resentful and sleepless cat who had spent the whole night awake. She hurriedly ran in, grabbed some food from her belongings and wolfed it down, and then commandeered Lu Ping’an’s bed to catch up on sleep. “Hey hey hey, you dare sleep on a man’s bed? Your reputation is crying!” Meow, who slept in her clothes, wrapped the blanket more tightly, pretending not to hear. But, Lu Ping’an, who yawned, didn’t really stop her and went downstairs to find food. The Secret Realm expedition is today, so the girl needs to be in a good condition. The Secret Realm opens at twelve o’clock, and the meeting time is eleven o’clock. Lu Ping’an still has time to make the final adjustments, prepare for entering the Secret Realm, and light up the two expected Abnormal Abilities. “Although that senior brother implied he could take us, it’s too unreliable to rely entirely on others…” Lu Ping’an found more reliable and alternative information from the well-informed innkeeper by spending extra money. Now, he had some understanding of this Secret Realm. Even the most challenging dungeons would eventually have strategy guides if played through enough times. After all, this place has been repeating for eleven years, and its origins and endings have been clearly revealed. It all started with a “cultist” and a token of the Evil Gods, who opened a door to the Exotic Realm. How it was done is not important, but as a result, in just three hours, the water level of Yinlian River near the city soared, causing flood warnings. The main section of the flood defenses was attacked by a large number of Demons from the Exotic Realm. After it was completely destroyed, the second round of Flood swept through the entire city. This led to the Secret Realm having several stages. Initially, the pressure wasn’t great, just water seeping into the city, people panicking and fleeing, while a large number of aquatic and amphibious demons appeared on the banks. At this time, you can choose to kill the Demons to reduce the later pressure, or try to block the powerful Demons attacking the dam, or even find the perpetrator and take out your anger on him…It’s pointless, though, since it’s already happened. Those who don’t like fighting can attempt to rescue people. “Is this the Hand of Redemption? There’s still some hope even in despair, different from reality.” Unlike “history”, a large ship with nearly unlimited carrying capacity appeared on the river in the Secret Realm, and thousands of unreasonable buses appeared outside the city’s railway station. As long as you take the people to the safe area and let them leave, they will be “redeemed.” Another historical divergence point in the Secret Realm is the “coincidental” presence of a powerful Sixth-tier professional residing in the city. He single-handedly suppressed the raging river, winning a lot of time for the people. In reality, the city would be gone in just an hour, and in three hours, it would turn into a quagmire. However, due to the presence of the “Guardian” in the Secret Realm, it can last for at least six or seven hours, until the person is “assassinated.” He won’t survive. Even if he isn’t killed by the powerful incoming Demons, he will be stabbed in the back by the cultists among the crowd, or, avoiding all crises, he might slip and fall to his Death, or choke to death on water with the passage of time. Many have debated whether the city could really wait for reinforcements if he were alive. Some even pointed out that the role model might be a Seventh-tier Bishop from Redemption Church, who could truly hold on for twenty hours until the main forces and high-level combat power of the provincial city arrive. But this excessively rewritten history is meaningless, just like the “perpetrator” who escaped reality after being repeatedly killed in the Secret Realm. When the “Guardian” dies (as late as possible), the end game of the great escape and the hunters’ cleanup begins. Most of the city is submerged, with victims everywhere and Demons rampant. History only persevered for a few hours before it was completely finished, and more than ninety percent of the population was gone. However, due to the presence of many professionals in the Secret Realm and the strategy guide for several key points, it can be delayed for at least seven or eight days, rescuing more than thirty percent of the population… which is actually quite difficult. “An ‘history’ that can’t be rescued…” There’s no victory condition because this isn’t a pleasing game. Reinforcements will never come, and the result of not being able to block the “entrance” is increasing pressure. For professionals, it’s just a valuable trial. You do as much as you can, and take whatever you can get. “The choice is important. Choosing the battlefield according to your abilities, what would that senior brother do? How would he choose? Maybe this is what he showed me.” Lu Ping’an put down the information thoughtfully, and it was already past nine o’clock. A hungry and puffed up Meow appeared at the table, trying to take revenge on Lu Ping’an through binge eating (Lu Ping’an’s breakfast and snacks). “If this is the environment, my choice is not wrong. Let’s start counting, Life Bank.”
