The person who came in was not Tingying as he expected, but Chen Dayong.

He looked at Zhang Chunliang against the light, his expression gloomy and unclear.

"Long time no see, Brother Chen." Zhang Chunliang jumped off the bed and tucked the quilt for the third young master.

"I've always wanted to see you." Chen Dayong frowned, as if he had something to say. When he was about to open his mouth, he looked at the person sleeping on the bed with fear.

He was emitting a damp and foul smell all over his body, and no one knew where he had just come from.

"Come out first, I have something to tell you." He lowered his voice.

"Brother Chen, I can't go out. My job here is to keep watch for the Third Young Master. If I go out, and the Third Young Master doesn't see me when he wakes up, that would be disastrous." Zhang Chunliang saw that he was afraid of the Third Young Master and became bolder.

Chen Dayong seemed to want to get angry, but he still controlled his temper.

"I know you are smart. Come, look at me. I am different from those servants now!"

Chen Dayong opened his arms and turned around to prove that he was a normal person.

"Come out quickly! It will be too late if you delay any longer!"

Chen Dayong looked like he was about to curse, but he forced himself to hold it back, hoping that Zhang Chunliang would come out quickly.

"Tell me clearly first, what's going on?" Zhang Chunliang stood there motionless, with a suspicious expression on his face.

Chen Dayong is a reckless man. He just wanted him to get out but never told him why. Only a fool would listen to him.

"Tingying found the key!" Chen Dayong held it in for a long time before uttering these words.

"Key?" Zhang Chunliang's eyes lit up. He had heard Tingying say that each dungeon had a 'key' that allowed players to leave the dungeon without completing the main quest.

"That's great. Everyone can go out now." Zhang Chunliang was somewhat excited. This meant that they no longer had to complete that almost certain death mission.

"It's not that simple." Chen Dayong lowered his voice deliberately, but because he was too excited, his voice cracked and he sounded like he was going crazy.

"That crazy Tingying threatened us and said she would destroy everyone's keys!"

"Why?" Zhang Chunliang finally realized something. He could see that Chen Dayong's expression was not fake, so he stopped pretending to deal with him and hurried out of the room and closed the door.

"You are a newcomer and don't know some of the secrets in the Game House. These things involve many aspects." Chen Dayong's lips were cracked and he pursed them.

"You just need to know that Tingying offended his guild for some reason. As long as he leaves this copy, he will be hunted down from all directions. And he did not choose to enter this copy randomly, because he knew that there was something in this copy that could save his life!"

"What is it?" Zhang Chunliang felt that he had finally found a clue amidst the chaos.

"A piece of soul fragment." Chen Dayong exhaled. "The death rate of players in Game House is too high, and the turnover is too frequent. Many players no longer know what happened that year. But I was fortunate enough to hear an old player talk about a huge turmoil that occurred in Game House a few years ago."

"At that time, one of the most powerful god-level players openly rebelled against Game House for unknown reasons, and he almost destroyed Game House's main system."

Zhang Chunliang held his breath, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Although he had only experienced this one game, he could get a glimpse of how unfathomable and huge the Game House was.

But now someone told him that there was once a human being with flesh and blood like him who almost destroyed this world-class horror game by his own strength. One can imagine the shock in his heart.

"It is said that the god-level player was only one step away from successfully destroying this place, but gave up for some unknown reason. Game House seized the opportunity to turn defeat into victory, and finally tried to completely destroy him, but failed."

"Where did that player go in the end?" Zhang Chunliang felt inexplicably moved.

"His soul power is too strong. If the Game House forcibly destroys him, his soul will explode. At that time, the entire Game House plane may no longer exist. So it split him into soul fragments. As energy, it put them into the copy world."

Zhang Chunliang paused.

"This can not only consume that person's soul energy, but also alleviate the huge losses caused by the war, killing two birds with one stone." Chen Dayong said here with some emotion.

A player from the human camp who shook the unknown world with his flesh and blood ended up with such a miserable end. This is exactly what Game House is doing, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, using his end to warn all players who have ulterior motives.

"You mean, this copy contains a fragment of that player's soul." Zhang Chunliang spoke with some difficulty.

"That's right. Tingying's goal is to find that fragment. Although the Never-Sleeping City dungeon is already considered to be the most difficult, it is the least dangerous among all the dungeons that have been dropped with that player's soul fragment."

"What's the use of this for Tingying?" Zhang Chunliang couldn't figure it out.

"Tingying stole the top item of his own guild, which can absorb any power as his own. He must want to absorb that person's soul." Chen Dayong was afraid that Zhang Chunliang didn't understand the consequences of doing so. "Then he can be promoted to a top player. At least in the current game house, no one can be his opponent."

"Is he so sure that he can absorb it?" Zhang Chunliang was puzzled. "That is the soul power that can keep a copy running."

"This instance is about to collapse." Chen Dayong said shockingly, "The official rating of this instance has been downgraded again and again, even to the point where newcomers can enter. This means that the soul power in this instance is about to be exhausted."

"The right time, the right place, and the right people, so this is how it is." Zhang Chunliang leaned against the door and muttered to himself.

"Do you have any clues?" Chen Dayong looked at Zhang Chunliang's thoughtful expression and asked impatiently.

"There are no clues." Zhang Chunliang shook his head, "But I can already figure out some things."

"what's up?"

"For example, why Tingying wanted to look for something in the Third Young Master's mansion, for example, the Third Young Master's true identity, and for example... the reason why you went to so much trouble to trick me out of the Third Young Master's room." Zhang Chunliang showed his usual innocent smile and looked up at Chen Dayong.

Chen Dayong froze for a moment and didn't speak for a long while. When he raised his eyes again, his face was gloomy.

"When did you find out?" His voice turned darker.
