It seems that everything that happened in the laboratory, including the virus leak, was premeditated?

    If that''s the case, why were the other researchers killed?

    Were they just pawns?

    Unlimited resets gave Bai Lian numerous opportunities to solve the game.

    However, he didn''t delve into the context of the dungeon but focused on completing it with a high rating.

    After much deliberation, Bai Lian shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

    Regardless,

    his goal had already been achieved.

    The backstory and everything else no longer mattered.

    All fragments connected, and Bai Lian found himself back in the player''s space.

    First, he checked his panel.

    “Player: Bai Lian (avatar)”

    “Age: 19 years”

    “Skills: None”

    “Number of completed runs: 2”

    “Titles: New King (applied), Savior (click for details)”

    (Note: Worn titles provide players with bonuses to all attributes, the size of the bonus depends on the title level!)

    “Rule Points: ”

    This time, the SSS rating for completion awarded him 10,000 rule points and one title.

    Rule points can be used to purchase items and powerful artifacts in the shop, and the more you have, the better.

    Bai Lian noticed the newly obtained title.

    “Title: Savior (not worn, 20% attribute bonus)”

    “Title Acquisition: Player obtains an SSS rating for completing Laboratory No. 45 dungeon and receives this title!”

    “Worn Title Effect: Player receives a healing buff, wounds will heal quickly!”

    A healing buff, wounds will heal quickly!

    This was another extremely powerful title!

    However, compared to the “New King” title, it was slightly inferior!

    Luckily, the unworn title provides a bonus to all attributes; otherwise, it would be completely useless.

    Bai Lian barely felt the 20% attribute bonus, perhaps just a slight improvement in well-being.

    He didn''t pay much attention to it and opened the player''s inventory in the corner.

    The player''s inventory consists of item slots. There was a flashlight, two fifth-size batteries, a rope, an army knife, and a tube of light green liquid! rαΝO??βЕS?

    “Initial Genetic Serum”

    “Effect: After using the serum, the player''s physical characteristics are significantly enhanced!”

    Seeing this vial of medication, Bai Lian''s eyes lit up.

    If he remembered correctly, this initial genetic serum cost a whopping 20,000 rule points in the shop!

    This was undoubtedly the best reward for completing this side quest.

    Bai Lian couldn''t wait and immediately took it out of the inventory.

    【Qi Gaofeng (Puppet Master): What does “merging with the Mysterious World” mean? I don''t understand this announcement.】

    【Zhou Liang (Elite): @Fan Yuangzhi, don''t forget to eat your shit!】

    The Mysterious World has existed for several years.

    The number of players who have entered it is immeasurable.

    Fools have long perished, and only those with certain skills have survived.

    They clearly understand how difficult it is to obtain an SSS rating for completion.

    In fact, it''s not just difficult; it''s simply impossible!

    Yes, in the eyes of these players, obtaining an SSS rating for completion is an absolutely unachievable task!

    In fact, even among the strongest players of the Mysterious World, the best result is only an S rating!

    Even after gathering the best players from the entire Mysterious World, the highest rating they could achieve is S!

    But now, someone has broken this limit.

    He didn''t just rise to an SS rating; he reached the highest completion rating—SSS!

    Bai Lian!

    This ID is now at the center of attention for every player entering the Mysterious World!

    Discussions are ongoing in the chat, but a larger number of players are trying to find him.

    The first thought, of course, is to find out how to obtain an SSS rating for completion.

    If he doesn''t want to reveal this information, making friends with him wouldn''t be a bad idea either.

    A person who can obtain such a high rating is certainly worth getting to know.

    However, they sat in the chat for a long time but never saw the ID Bai Lian appear in the chat.

    Meanwhile,

    Bai Lian, who was unaware that he had become the center of attention for the entire Mysterious World,

    after purchasing necessary items in the rule shop, was already preparing for the next side quest.

    “Quest selection for you is in progress...”

    “Selection successful, waiting for other players: 10/3”

    “10/10, quest entry imminent, players, prepare yourselves!”

    When the system voice faded, waves appeared under Bai Lian''s feet, and the space around him began to ripple.

    “Sir, madam, I''m the new nanny, Lina, and this is my daughter, Winnie.”

    “Winnie, what are you doing in the master''s room?”

    “Mr. David, you came to help Winnie with her studies again? Thank you very much!”

    “Winnie, have you been studying well lately?”

    “Winnie, you can''t enter the mistress''s room; she warned you about this!”

    ...

    “Mr. David, what will happen if the master finds out about this?”

    “Mr. David, you don''t want to lose your job, do you?”

    “The master has too many secrets.”

    “And who is the master''s wife?”
