The paradise of the abyss does not support idlers

【Apartment Notice】

[1. Do not have any contact with the administrator]

[2. The administrator is responsible for cooking and notifying residents to eat]

[3. Every day, one guest will be on duty according to the room number. The duty scope includes clearing the dining room plates, cleaning the first floor, and purchasing ingredients for tomorrow]

[4. No guests are allowed to enter the third floor area]

This notice is a bit old, and the handwriting on it is not new, which means that the rules on it were established a long time ago.

Even though the residents of this apartment may have changed several times, it has not changed.

"It seems normal, but judging from the strange situation in the apartment, every one of them seems to be fatally dangerous, such as..."

Su Qi turned his head and looked at the tentacle man who was on duty today. He was holding a dinner plate in his tentacles and standing outside the kitchen tremblingly, not daring to go in, with an expression of fear.

"If you shake it again, the plate will be dropped."

The tentacle man was startled when he saw that Su Qi was still on the first floor. He whispered shakily: "Go back to the house quickly. Today is my duty, there is no need to drag you down."

Su Qi said: "Then, tell me what the situation is like here."

"And I have this eye for palms."

The eyes in his palms are closed tightly, and they will only be opened when activated.

The tentacle man gave Su Qi a strange look and was silent for a moment: "It seems that you are an outsider. No wonder you don't know anything and haven't been contaminated yet."

He waved his tentacles: "We are all polluted people. Although pollution has given us special abilities, if we are exposed to it for a long time, our minds will collapse and we will completely turn into monsters."

"There are many terrible things on the first floor. Every resident must be careful when on duty. If you accidentally make a mistake, you will increase your pollution."

Suki soon understood what the contamination in his mouth was.

Because the sauce on the dinner plate accidentally fell on the carpet, there was a terrifying low roar in the kitchen.

then.

The tentacle man stiffened.

Su Qi also felt a trance like tinnitus.

[Mental Power-1]

I see.

To put it bluntly, it means losing sanity, which is reflected in the numerical value, which means reducing mental power. The lower the mental power, the more serious the monster transformation.

But the tentacle man's reaction seemed to be even more violent. Not only was he trembling all over, but his tentacles were also spraying water out.

Is this scary?

Suki avoided the water, and then stabilized the dinner plate in his hand, otherwise the plate would break and something more terrible would happen.

Fortunately, this low moan only lasted a few breaths.

The tentacled man came back to his senses, his face extremely pale:

"It's over, it's over, I will definitely die, I will definitely die."

Su Qi looked at the dark kitchen in front of him: "I won't die. I just need to finish all this well and don't make any mistakes."

"No, this is not the key. The next step is to go out to look for ingredients. That is the scariest thing." The tentacle man said tremblingly: "Although this apartment must always be careful of contamination, it is already the safest place. The city outside has already Collapse."

"Only when we are polluted can we gain abilities and the strength to survive."

Suki paused and simply asked: "What would happen if you didn't find the ingredients?"

The tentacle man was silent, opened his dry lips, and said sadly: "I will become food."

Everything is clear. This is the worldview of this world.

at the same time.

After learning this information.

The system also pops up an information panel.

[The main mission has been triggered]

[Survive for ten days—Explore the room on the third floor—Find the source of the collapse]

[Choose one of the three main missions to complete the level]

The main quest finally appears.

Su Qi looked over, and the difficulty of the three tasks was obvious at a glance.

Surviving for ten days was the easiest, and of course it was relatively simple. Whether it was on duty or going out to look for ingredients, there was a risk of losing mental energy. The most important thing was that he was being watched by the residents.

Exploring the room on the third floor means that he will become hostile to the administrator.

Finding the source of the collapse is the most difficult task. The source must be in the city outside, and the city has been completely polluted, and there are probably all kinds of monsters everywhere.

Su Qi suddenly asked.

"By the way, do you know why those residents are targeting me?"

"Because you are normal." The tentacle man smiled bitterly: "Normal here means alien, and it also means that you are not contaminated. As long as they eat you, their symptoms of contamination can be alleviated."

"So that's it."

Su Qi's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't say which task to choose first, but he thought of something.

"How about leaving me on duty today?"

"Why?" The tentacle man was a little shocked.

"Because I am a sunny and cheerful boy who is willing to help others." Su Qi patted him on the shoulder: "In addition, I also want to ask for certification."

The tentacle man wanted to agree tremblingly, but he shook his head violently: "I can't do this. You have just gained the ability and you don't know anything. You will die."

Su Qi smiled and said: "You are not bad-hearted, but are you sure you can survive today?"

"Don't worry, just leave it to me."

The tentacled man looked hesitant. After all, he was defeated by the fear of death. He stretched out his hand and took out a notebook and handed it to Su Qi: "This is what I have recorded since I was on duty. You must read it carefully. You are now It has just been contaminated, so as long as there are no big problems, nothing will happen.”

Su Qi took the notebook and nodded: "I will remember it."

Wait until the tentacle man returns to the house on the second floor.

Su Qi opened his notebook and flipped through it, then picked up the dinner plate and went directly into the dark kitchen.

【Kitchen Precautions】

[Be sure to wash the dinner plates, and never raise your head when washing. Note that the door of the kitchen freezer must be locked]

Su Qi put the dinner plate under the faucet and turned on the gurgling water.

Then he did not lower his head, but did the opposite. He raised his head and looked up. A strange monster's body was pierced and hung on an iron hook, looking at it with a pair of unblinking green eyes.

A moment.

Su Qi felt his eyes stinging, as if various strange illusions were appearing in front of him.

[Mental Power-1]

After he looked away, the weirdness disappeared.

Su Qi had a strange expression and was a little dumb.

"Sure enough, something went wrong."

“Isn’t the harm caused by these so-called pollution a bit too low?”

Why are they all -1?

Didn't you see that I have 85 points of mental power? When will this be reduced?

Suki fell into thought.

He didn't try again. Although the cost of trial and error was very low, there was no need to waste it.

And he also understood one thing.

"My mental power seems to be higher than the normal level for this copy?"

If it were another player, this level of strength would be reasonable. Normal players have limited attribute points. They would definitely give priority to adding physical strength, strength, and movement skills, which can turn them into strength very quickly.

No one will add attribute points to mental power in the early stage, which currently has no visible effect.

Therefore, the player's mental power is generally only the initial 10 points, and the cost of making mistakes is only a few times.

And Suki.

Obviously an exception.
