Hua Yuan and Lebeite also came back within half an hour, all in good condition.
Among them, Lebeite was the most excited, not caring about the reward at all, and went straight to the counter.
"Let’s explore the dungeon again! I hope this time we can work together, it’s really no fun doing it alone."
Luo Di followed him but did not agree, instead whispering in his ear:
"Father only allows us to try once, if he finds out we exceed this number, there seem to be very serious consequences."
Lebeite immediately reverted to his usual frail self, the inner monster completely contained, even trembling slightly, as if remembering some bad memory.
"I almost forgot father’s instructions. In that case, we better head back first. Violating it might make things difficult for a long time, even losing the opportunity to go out.
And mom, let’s aim to get home before she wakes up."
Lebeite surprisingly restrained his excitement instantly, turning into an obedient son.
Luo Di originally planned to bring up going to the vortex together, but now it seemed it could wait.
Except for Yu Ze, everyone gathered here and received the same clearance box as Luo Di, containing a "grading sheet" and "rewards".
The difficulty of the event Lebeite faced was two stars, but the evaluation was only a B-.
The reason was simple, his straightforward approach caused a large number of deaths in the area, and the narrative was disrupted.
The reward was merely low-level comprehension and special corner coins (30% mysterious event bonus).
Hua Yuan’s event was one-star difficulty, yet the evaluation was S-.
In the movie event, she played the role of a female college student being followed by a stalker, handling it as cleanly as Luo Di did, with only one civilian injured.
Aside from the basic reward, she also received an item dropped by the stalker.
Unlike Luo Di’s membership card, it was a common corner horror prop - [Stalker’s Sneakers*].
*These greatly muffle footsteps, reduce presence, and allow instant arrival behind a target within a certain range.
Hua Yuan took out the white sneakers and put them on right then and there.
"Luo Di, how do you like the shoes? Are they pretty?"
Hua Yuan stood in front of Luo Di, trying to show off as much as possible, only to find his attention solely on the shoes, not even glancing upward.
Hua Yuan instantly appeared behind Luo Di, sniffing at him with her nose.
"Are you thinking about another woman? You didn’t happen to meet a young girl in a brief movie event, did you?"
Luo Di was momentarily stunned, his brain quickly coming up with a solution, "No, I was thinking about something else."
Luo Di glanced towards a certain area in the video store,
Yu Ze was sitting alone in an inconspicuous single rest chair, deliberately erasing his presence and sound, checking his evaluation and rewards alone, having already closed the box.
"Your friend seems to be hiding a lot of secrets, still has a faint killing intent. But then, it makes sense, a human of such strength must have some secrets."
Yu Ze also felt the gaze, packed up his box, and walked over voluntarily, looking exhausted.
"Oh~ my friend, the dungeon’s intensity really is high, things almost went wrong. Let’s prepare to withdraw! Once is enough, don’t even think about doing it a second time."
Luo Di nodded, "We’ll leave in a while, since everyone received some coins, let’s see if we can buy something to take back. By the way... Yu Ze, did you get any tangible rewards?"
When Luo Di threw out this question, the one who responded wasn’t Yu Ze but the clerk, who usually didn’t bother with things.
"Your friend won a ’grand prize’. The ’Goosebumps’ movie is mostly simple, but there are two units that are special with high difficulty.
He happened to encounter one,
surviving was already not easy, the reward he got touches the core of this kind of movie, not suitable for public disclosure."
Yu Ze shrugged, looking helpless.
Given this, Luo Di changed the question, "How difficult was it?"
"Three stars, probably the highest difficulty for a first-time dungeon exploration. Next time, don’t split the team, I almost died out there alone.
I’m exhausted, going to sleep first! When you’re ready to leave, put this Corpse Chasing Talisman on my head, I’ll follow you automatically."
Yu Ze was already dozing off, curling up in a corner.
Luo Di seemed to have something to say, but Yu Ze had already fallen completely asleep before he could say it out loud.
This left Luo Di in a dilemma, somewhat regretting not speaking sooner, so he turned to the other two companions.
"Um~ how many special corner coins did you get? Can you lend me some, I promise to repay fully after the next dungeon exploration."
Lebeite didn’t hesitate at all, tossing over 10 coins, just wanting Luo Di to finish quickly, so he could head home.
Hua Yuan stuck close behind him, her head resting to one side of his shoulder,
"So you were waiting for us just for this~ I also have ten, but I worked hard for them, lending them to you comes with a price.
First, take me to see what you want to exchange."
Third floor of the video store, in the murderer movie’s merchandise section.
Various props were displayed here,
Regulated blades hung from the steel net overhead,
the most eye-catching of which was a dirty, rusty, diesel chainsaw.
It was a literary prop from ’The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’, priced at a whopping two hundred coins.
"Luo Di, these things are so expensive~ Between the three of us, we only have thirty coins, doesn’t seem like there’s anything at this price range.
Why not wait till next time? When we go to the dungeon a second time, the difficulty and rewards will increase, giving us more choices."
"No... there’s something priced just right."
Luo Di had already browsed here once, knew the prices well. Now he squatted beneath the last shelf, retrieving a long-stored item.
Black, thick-soled work boots,
The footwear was heavily worn, stained with dirt and water.
The shoe size was nearly fifty, much larger than Luo Di’s feet.
It even carried a distinct odor.
"Oh? Isn’t this the matching gear for your stick? No wonder you’re so concerned... The price does happen to be exactly thirty.
Alright, I’ll lend it to you.
But on one condition, if we’re passing by the Sisterhood, spend a night with me, I have a ’secret’ to share with you."
Luo Di was already keen, agreeing without even clearly hearing Huayuan’s words.
He took the shoes to the counter, paid the corresponding amount of special corner coins, and the ownership was transferred to Luo Di.
He promptly took off his leather shoes,
and squeezed his size 45 foot into the size 50 huge work boots,
perhaps because the shoes sensed the vibe of "Jason", the old work shoes began to shrink on their own, fitting Luo Di’s foot size perfectly.

When Luo Di wore the shoes, holding the bat.
Huayuan, who was sticking close behind him, suddenly felt something, the flower pistil within her body surged to her eye area offering special vision.
she saw a strange scene,
saw Luo Di seemingly standing at the entrance of a dimly lit street bar, numerous eyes filled with terror and cruelty were all staring at her, the "peeper".
In just an instant of peering,
Huayuan pulled the furthest distance away, retracting the visual flower pistil structure.
"Luo Di! What kind of reward did you get in the dungeon? I think I saw something incredible."
Luo Di freed himself from the murderer state, put away the baton, looking sideways at Huayuan, "Didn’t you say you’d spend a night with me? We’ll talk then."
