Shen Mo thought for a moment, then slightly nodded, "If we can score 713 points without thorough preparation, then as long as we perform normally, we can definitely surpass that score. Plus the newbie Buff, it’s indeed easier to break the record."
"780 points," said Bai Youwei.
Everyone looked at her.
Bai Youwei said, "We need to score at least 780. If we can get 780, a 20% bonus score would add 156, making a total of 936, just enough to exceed the existing record."
points, not one point less.
Yuri glanced at everyone, then asked, "So... does everyone agree?"
His gaze finally rested on Natasha beside him.
Natasha had been frowning deeply, her red hair framing her somewhat pale face, and her blue eyes filled with unresolvable melancholy and confusion.
"Natasha?" Yuri asked, "Do you disagree with going to Demon Island?"
"I don’t know," Natasha closed her eyes, appearing very tired, "The former team captain had an accident during the second attack on Demon Island... Afterward, our team never attempted that dungeon again."
Yuri watched her silently, then after a moment, nodded slightly, his voice calm and steady, "I understand, breaking the record is important, but everyone’s safety is equally important. Let’s reconsider the trip to Demon Island, and everyone can rest tomorrow."
Yuri stood up and silently went upstairs to his room.
Natasha took a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket, lit one, and seeming rather distressed, stood up and said, "Sorry... I, I need to go outside for some air."
Afterwards, Natasha also left the dining room.
Remaining at the table were Shen Mo, Bai Youwei, and Ada.
"Ada, have you been to Demon Island?" Bai Youwei curiously asked, "What’s Demon Island like?"
"I haven’t been there," Ada shook her head, "I joined this team just a month before Shen Mo, but don’t worry, Yuri and Natasha are not reckless people, at least more reliable than any team I’ve been in before."
Bai Youwei asked again, "Have you joined many teams?" Searᴄh the NovelZone.fun website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"I switch teams every two weeks," Ada smoothed her sleek ponytail with a sassy air, "Can’t keep those with mismatched personality, nor those who are too authoritarian, those with poor cooperation, too dumb, too ugly, or too weak. Choosing a team is like entrusting them with half of your life; of course, it must be taken seriously."
Bai Youwei couldn’t help but laugh, leaning on Shen Mo’s shoulder and said, "Listen to that, sounds like getting married."
Ada laughed, "You’re right, it really does seem like it!"
Shen Mo also smiled.
"I’ll leave you two alone then~" Ada stood up, stretched, and twisted her neck, "I’ll also go to my room to rest. We don’t need to enter the dungeon tomorrow; it’s a good time to contact some old teammates and find out what exactly is happening on Demon Island."
He winked at Shen Mo, jokingly saying, "Envious, right? Us who don’t have wives, can only find them in our dreams~"
Shen Mo smiled faintly, "Once we leave here, you will find one too."
Ada’s eyes dimmed slightly, smiling in response, "Yes, once we leave here."
Ada turned and walked away.
Bai Youwei felt that everyone here had their own story.
"Does he really have a wife?" she asked Shen Mo.
Shen Mo replied, "According to him, he has a fiancée, it’s just that when he came here, his memory was processed by the system, and he can’t remember her face and name."
Bai Youwei pondered, "...Maybe his fiancée is in the residential area?"
"No," Shen Mo gently shook his head, "Ada firmly believes his fiancée isn’t in the streaming world; his residual memories show that his fiancée was lying in a hospital with no streams or dungeons, which is very likely to be... the world where the celestial beings reside."
Bai Youwei couldn’t help but speculate: The world of celestial beings, could it be... the real world she was looking for?
