As the prompt sound and panel disappeared, everything before Wu Wang's eyes transformed from the deep blue sea into a magnificent room.

The room was large, almost the size of a five-star hotel's presidential suite. The decor was extremely luxurious and elegant; even the carpets were expensive, high-quality, royal-grade imports.

The oil paintings on the walls even included artifacts that should have been displayed in museums.

They didn't seem like imitations.

"Tsk, the repulsive aura of the upper class assaults me," Wu Wang said, casually picking up a piece of blue-and-white porcelain.

It was genuine and of excellent quality.

It could fetch at least a million outside.

Yet, it was simply placed in a guest's room.

Utterly inhumane.

Most likely, every room had quite a few of these things.

He had put in a lot of effort into antique appraisal. He had almost been blacklisted in the antique market back then.

Because after Wu Wang entered the market with a fake identity, he would always use various methods to hide notes saying "I am a fake" inside the fake antiques that were ready for transaction.

The value of the deals he ruined was enough for the antique market bosses to hire someone to kill him.

The subsequent developments were not for outsiders to know.

In short, the result half a year later was—

The fake identity was also blacklisted by the dark web assassins.

No one was willing to take the job.

To this day, that fake identity still hangs on the dark web bounty list, but with a note: [Failed 48 times], which makes people afraid.

Knock, knock—

Before Wu Wang could finish inspecting the room, there was a knock on the door.

Looking through the peephole, he saw a petite loli wearing a cheongsam with white hair and a delicate fox mask.

Behind her were five others wearing various formal dresses and different masks.

Including the fox loli, there were three men and three women.

They should be the players for this team instance.

Wu Wang gently stroked the [Seashell Brooch].

The clothes and mask on his body began to transform.

A moment later, he opened the door.

"Hello everyone! Please come in!"

Wu Wang greeted the guests knocking on the door with fiery enthusiasm.

He even stepped aside, inviting them into his room for a detailed discussion. Players always needed to have a meeting before the instance started.

Moreover, he needed to know what their main quests were.

After all, his main quest had been distorted by the Abyss God.

Everyone was stunned by this enthusiasm.

One of the men, wearing a bat mask and sporting a figure-eight mustache, couldn't help but say, "Dude… how did you get into the instance wearing that gaudy pink thing? Is the definition of formal wear that broad?"

The others expressed their incomprehension.

Wu Wang looked down at himself.

There was nothing wrong with it!

He retorted, "Isn't this a masquerade ball? How can Kamen Rider not be considered a mask? And to correct you, this is magenta!"

At this moment, he was dressed in the Kamen Rider Decade's outfit.

The barcode-like mask on his head completely covered his entire head. If he hadn't spoken, one wouldn't even be able to tell if it was a man or a woman!

After a moment of awkward silence, they reluctantly entered the Kamen Rider's room.

They did need to have a meeting.

Especially after discovering that their teammate was mentally unstable, they felt it was even more necessary to have a meeting.

At least to confirm that the others were not mentally challenged.

Wu Wang sized up everyone's appearance.

The three men present were the uncle wearing a gray wolf mask, the lecherous man wearing a bat mask, and the flamboyant weirdo wearing a thorn mask.

The gray wolf uncle looked relatively calm and composed, wearing a Zhongshan suit and standing upright. He didn't change his expression much from beginning to end.

The lecherous bat man was wearing a light blue fancy suit and looked somewhat frivolous. His eyes were constantly peeking at the female players next to him.

The flamboyant thorn man was also a bit greasy. The figure-eight mustache on his mouth seemed to be trying to appear gentlemanly, but it didn't match his bright red suit and the overly oiled, reflective slicked-back hair.

The female players were all refined and elegant.

Their masks were a fox, a black cat, and a rose, respectively.

The fox girl was a cold, white silk cheongsam loli, who seemed taciturn and always had a cold face.

The black cat lady wore a shawl evening dress, looking elegant and generous. She had a faint smile on her face and looked very friendly, giving off the feeling of a wealthy young lady.

The rose miss was even more stunning. The backless black deep-V halter evening dress, paired with a thigh-high slit, showed off her sexy figure as she walked, making her alluring figure faintly visible. It was clear that she was a socialite who frequently attended various high-end banquets and was not shy.

"Bro, you've been describing everyone's appearance non-stop since we came in," the bat man said through gritted teeth. "But why is there such a big difference in the evaluation of men and women!"

"One's lecherous, one's flamboyant. The other side gets all sorts of praise. And I haven't been constantly peeking at them! Don't force me to fight you here first!"

The others also had some unnatural expressions.

This Kamen Rider spoke extremely quickly; they couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Except for Miss Rose, who was laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth, staring straight at Wu Wang with her charming eyes, jokingly saying, "I quite like this young man. Witty and humorous. How about we go to my room later and discuss the instance's plot?"

You better really be discussing the plot!

And not planning some special plot that can't pass censorship!

Wu Wang shrugged indifferently.

"Wasn't I just trying to liven up the atmosphere? Everyone seems quite tense about the nightmare-level instance."

"Gray Wolf Uncle's expression is a bit stiff. You, Lecherous Bat, are trying to relieve the pressure with Milky White Xuezi. Flamboyant Bro, stop touching your mustache, you've already pulled out two hairs. Doesn't it hurt?"

"I won't name names on the ladies' side, but White-Haired Loli, you're nervous, but don't keep poking my carpet with your heels. This thing is valuable; I was planning to swipe it when I return to reality. Be careful not to ruin it, or I'll extort you for millions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into dead silence.

Even Miss Rose, who had been joking with Wu Wang just now, had a hint of coldness in her eyes. The few who had been called out were even more stiff, adopting a defensive posture.

They had only been in here for less than two minutes!

Everyone immediately labeled this seemingly most abnormal guy—acute observation, a dangerous person!

You must be careful when dealing with this kind of guy, otherwise, it's easy to reveal flaws and get caught.

Looks like he's not that brain-dead after all.

"By the way, about this instance, I have a very serious question to ask," Wu Wang suddenly said, his tone becoming serious.

Finally, he's getting back to business.

Everyone also wanted to hear what this person had to say about the instance.

Especially the main quest, which seemed a bit too simple in their opinion, so simple that it didn't seem like the difficulty level a nightmare-level instance should have.

But there's always an exception.

The bat man rolled his eyes and interrupted, "If you're going to ask, 'Why is the main quest so simple, only needing to find a partner and participate on the last day of the ball,' then there's no need to say more. We also don't know where the difficulty lies."

He didn't want to waste time on this kind of thing.

But to his surprise, Wu Wang shook his head.

He said in an extremely disdainful tone, "What I want to ask is, does everyone know how to dance ballroom dances?"

"This is a ball! What are you here for if you can't dance? Are you really just here to freeload? Especially you, Batman, dude, won't your bowlegs step on your partner when you dance? Ladies, pay attention when choosing your partners."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent again.

Everyone suddenly felt like they should take back their previous evaluation of him.

This guy really is mentally unstable.

The focus of his concern is actually on dancing.

And what did he mean by freeloading?

Damn it, did you think we wanted to be on this ship?

Who would be so clueless as to come to a nightmare-level instance to freeload!

While everyone's expressions varied, their eyes couldn't help but look at Wu Wang and the bat man, especially the latter's legs.

Hiss… it does seem like he has bowlegs.
