Back in the Login Space, Feng Bujue tapped the touchscreen to check the details of the settlement.

This was his first time clearing a Team Script on Nightmare Difficulty, and judging by the results… the rewards were pretty good.

The massive amount of experience he received was partly because the clearance time was relatively long, and partly because he completed so many tasks. The nine main quests were…【Search Jumo Island, enter the "Shrine of Faith" within three hours. Players who fail to enter the shrine within the time limit will be eliminated】, 【Reach the altar at the bottom of the Shrine of Faith within three hours. Players who fail to arrive within the time limit will be eliminated】, 【Within fifteen minutes, use the altar in the sacrificial hall to summon and defeat the wandering god, Walker】, 【Within one hour, pass through the passage behind the altar and reach the Crystal Labyrinth】, 【Arrive at the Cage of Despair】, 【Find a way to open the cage】, 【Remove the seal of the Cage of Despair】, 【Survive】, and 【Escape Jumo Island】.

Although Billy's meddling introduced some variables… overall, the script's mortality rate and difficulty were steadily increasing.

As for the two side quests, 【Describe the seven sins to satisfy Lesendre, the "Hunger"】and 【Before Uncle Worthless dies (or leaves the script for other reasons), arrive at the Silkworm Mother's Nest and rescue her】, they only completed one, resulting in one less direct reward in the final settlement, which was a bit of a shame.

"Ah… I got so many puzzle cards all at once…" Feng Bujue muttered, looking at the screen. "Giving out puzzle cards as concentrated rewards is probably to get players to familiarize themselves with the newly opened Puzzle Card Exchange as soon as possible…" At this point, he took out the electric razor from his knapsack, holding it up for closer inspection. "Besides the puzzle cards… this is the most valuable thing I got this time."

Brother Jue carefully reread the item's description, but still didn't understand what it was for: "Hmm… 'Gives you a dashing appearance,' what kind of effect is that? Is this some kind of gag item with a 'Legendary' tag?"

Beep beep—

A communication request popping up on the display interrupted Brother Jue's thoughts.

Feng Bujue glanced at it. It was a multi-person connection, with Honghu, Uncle Worthless, and Pegasus Flying in the channel. They must have finished looking at the settlement too and wanted to exchange some thoughts.

Hesitating for a few seconds, Brother Jue clicked Accept and entered the chat channel.

As soon as he connected, he heard Uncle Worthless's voice: "Ah, I just finished a round of Killing Game, and when I saw that I got experience, I knew you guys succeeded in clearing it."

"I died so unfairly! That despicable bastard, he's so strong, yet he still launched a sneak attack. Did you guys avenge me?" Pegasus Flying's voice followed.

Honghu's voice replied: "Sorry… we retreated afterward. After you died, Samodir quickly appeared besides the Boss who ambushed you. You know, the guy Brother Mad has a grudge with. In that situation… playing 2v2 with those two monsters was unrealistic, so we ran away from the bottom of the pit." He paused. "Unexpectedly, after running for a while, the 【Survive】quest suddenly completed. Then the 【Escape Jumo Island】quest appeared."

"Hmm? How did you guys escape the island?" Uncle Worthless asked.

"The ways to leave Jumo Island…" Feng Bujue interjected at this point, "...there are two." He smiled. "Of course, 'death' doesn't count; that can't be called leaving…"

"What are the two ways?" Little Ma asked again.

"The first way, to put it bluntly, is to go in head-on… use spells, abilities, or physical means to leave." Feng Bujue replied, "This method… is naturally very difficult for us to do, but among the prisoners on the island… there are quite a few who can do it. However, the prisoners of Jumo Island are all suppressed by the 'String of Keys.' Without that string of keys, even if they can move freely on the island, they can't leave the island's range."

Brother Jue paused for a few seconds before continuing, "And the second method… is 'trading.' As I said, among the prisoners on the island, there are many who have the ability to leave the island, but they are suppressed by the 'keys.' But just because they can't leave themselves doesn't mean they can't send others away."

"Oh… I understand." Uncle Worthless already understood at this point. "In the Ghost Marsh, you already inquired about the way to leave the island from Fuling and made a deal with her."

"Hmph… you thought of a way out early on, but didn't say a word to us…" Honghu suddenly added coldly. In fact, before leaving the script, he was already a little dissatisfied with the move that Brother Jue had held back, but he didn't have time to mention it at the time.

"It wouldn't have made sense to say it." Feng Bujue said, "I made a deal with Fuling as an individual, not as our team."

"Ah… forget it… anyway, we've already cleared it." Honghu replied.

"Speaking of which… is Atobe okay?" Pegasus Flying seemed to have thought of something and added, "After I left the script, I found that he was always offline."

"He's definitely fine." Feng Bujue replied, "He's so young, he couldn't have been scared to death…" He shrugged. "He's probably 'restricted from logging in'… the game instructions say that's a protective mechanism after being scared offline… I guess he won't be back on tonight."

"Oh, oh, so that's how it is…" Little Ma was obviously the kind of person who wouldn't read the game instructions.

Afterward, the four chatted about some of the details of the script just now and discussed some plot-related issues.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, they dispersed.

Before the communication ended, Feng Bujue and these few people added each other as friends. And after Honghu said, "We'd better contact each other less," they unfriended each other again…

…………

Coming out of this long Nightmare Script, Brother Jue was indeed a little tired, but he still planned to finish dealing with some trivial matters before going offline.

He wasn't in a hurry to claim his rewards, but went to the Mall to do some simple buying and selling.

After arriving in Area 101, Feng Bujue went straight to the supplies store and took out the Elf (Sub-God) meat, Goat (possibly with wolf blood) meat, and Gecko (Heart of Fear) meat from his knapsack and sold them all to the store.

The quality of these miscellaneous items was all "Normal," so they weren't listed one by one in the settlement interface. But when they were sold to the store, they were surprisingly expensive… especially the meat of the wandering god, Walker, which sold for several thousand Game Coins. Brother Jue could use this money to buy Survival Value replenishments and ammunition.

Under the strange gazes of the surrounding players, Feng Bujue completed this bloody transaction… and ran back to the Login Space in a puff of smoke.

Next up was the always-popular equipment draw…

Brother Jue quickly claimed the four puzzle cards first, looked at the contents of these cards, and then put the 【Puzzle Card - Ping Pong】, 【Puzzle Card - Father】, 【Puzzle Card - Spider】, and 【Puzzle Card - Countdown】cards into the box in the storage room.

Then… he came to the remaining glass pillar.

【Please choose your additional reward: 1. Randomly draw a piece of equipment corresponding to your level (after the version update, this option may also randomly draw "Tool" or "Other" type items), 2. 50,000 Game Coins, 3. 17,200,000 Experience Points】

The experience reward that was more than ten times that of a Team Nightmare Script was naturally ignored by Brother Jue…

Before the system prompt finished speaking, he had decisively chosen the first option.

White light reappeared, gradually condensing into shape… This time, the equipment looked small, as if it was something that could be held in one hand.

When the light dissipated, Feng Bujue took a closer look, and what appeared before him was—a pipe.

【Name: Oxygen Pipe】

【Type: Other】

【Quality: Fine】

【Effect: When inhaled, a small amount of oxygen can be obtained】

【Equipment Requirements: None, Bound after first use】

【Remark: No need to light, no need for tobacco, just put it in your mouth. When you "smoke" it, it will emit smoke, but only pure oxygen enters your lungs.】

Feng Bujue held the wooden pipe in front of his eyes and examined it carefully. The whole was brown, and the surface was polished very smoothly, with no cracks or flaws. The color of the shank was darker, and a line of small characters was engraved on it—Smoking is hazardous to your health.

"Heh… this is not bad." Feng Bujue muttered and immediately put the pipe in his mouth and tried to take a few puffs.

He clearly didn't light it, nor did he put in any tobacco, but wisps of white smoke rose from the pipe, and the smoke had a strong tobacco fragrance.

"Good stuff…" Feng Bujue took the pipe out of his mouth and said again, "With this… I can survive in an oxygen-poor environment for a long time." As soon as he got this item, his devious mind was already working. "In the future, in Killing Games, if the environment allows, I can consider dragging my opponent to the bottom of the sea or into the high altitude to play a battle of attrition… Heh heh… I bet that will be very interesting."

Since it was a thing with practical value, Brother Jue naturally wouldn't destroy it, so he put it into his knapsack.

Finally, he inspected his overall condition again. Only then did he open the menu and click the Log Off option.
