Lin Feng and Wang Baobao exchanged a glance and decided to continue listening.

They heard Yang Kang continue, "The content of that letter was to notify me that my live stream room had been cut, that I had no live stream rooms at all, that I was an eliminated game producer, and that I had to go back and participate in a round of the game."

"I didn't pay it any mind at the time, thinking it was someone's prank."

"Until, a day later, the American friend who pulled me into the Black Software urgently came to find me, told me about the latest rules added to the Black Software, and asked if I was okay?"

"Only then did I realize something bad was happening. I logged into the Black Software after a long absence and understood the whole story behind this matter."

"And I understood that I was one of those five eliminated game producers who would be the first to appear."

"So, after returning to China, I came looking for you two to settle the score."

After hearing this series of events.

Lin Feng and Wang Baobao also completely understood the identity and story of the person before them.

It's just...

Wang Baobao frowned with extreme confusion, "Hold on, Yang Kang, what does your final status as an eliminated game producer and your participation in the 'Far Neighbor' live stream game have to do with us? Why are you settling scores with *us*?"

"If you really want to settle a score, shouldn't you go after that American friend who dragged you into this pit? And the Black Software?!"

Yang Kang still had his hands in his pockets, "When I said I'm here to give you trouble, it's not because of *that*. After all, you two have nothing to do with that matter."

"The reason I'm giving you trouble is this."

"You," he pointed at Wang Baobao, "stayed at the Alice Apartment for three rounds."

"You," he pointed at Lin Feng, "got him a safe room."

"Now, look at the good you've done. You used your money power to seriously disrupt the balance of the 'Far Neighbor' live stream game."

"As a result, me and the other four unlucky bastards have to face who-knows-what level of restrictions and sanctions in the next round. So, do you still think you're innocent?"

Instantly, Lin Feng and Wang Baobao were left speechless.

If you really looked into it this meticulously, they were like people who cut down the trees, leaving those who came after to get scorched in the sun.

It really did have something to do with them.

However.

"We were also just trying to clear the game safely! So it was an unavoidable thing to do!"

"Besides, the restrictions and sanctions the Black Software mentioned probably aren't that vicious. Surely they won't completely restrict bringing your own weapons and money?!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As Wang Baobao spoke, he grew less and less confident.

Yang Kang sneered, "What if this Black Software does exactly that?"

"Restricting all our original connections, money, and weapons to the level of an ordinary person."

"And then making us spend a round inside the Alice Apartment?"

Lin Feng spoke up then, "Your argument does indeed connect back to us. It's like we dug a pit for you five."

"So, you came to give us trouble. What do you want us to do to take responsibility?"

Lin Feng went straight to the point, cutting to the chase.

He didn't waste words with the other man.

Yang Kang finally revealed a somewhat friendly smile:

"It's very simple. You two are familiar with this Alice Apartment, right? So I need you to think of a way for me to safely clear one round of the game."

"The prerequisite is that all five of us unlucky bastards are restricted in every aspect to the level of an ordinary person."

They stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Lin Feng and Wang Baobao looked at each other in confusion.

If they were restricted in every aspect to an ordinary person's level...

Lin Feng and Wang Baobao truly couldn't think of a way to survive.

Just take, for example.

That part at the end of Lin Feng's three rounds, when he had to leave the Alice Apartment.

He found out later that Old Shen, along with himself, made a total of six people who came to the Alice Apartment.

And they all ended up dead inside.

If he hadn't been outrageously wealthy and used his money power to call in dozens of bodyguards the next day...

How was he supposed to get out?

He couldn't think of a way at all.

So, if he were an ordinary person, there would be no way.

"I don't know. I have absolutely no idea. Don't even ask us. Even if you ask that live stream room, ask that middle-aged uncle who's watched the streams for a very, very long time, or that domineering female CEO, they wouldn't know either."

"That apartment is too perverse. I think anyone who comes out alive is just lucky, plus their fate is genuinely good."

Words of despair spilled from Lin Feng's mouth.

Yang Kang was very dissatisfied with this answer.

"Enough. There's no difficulty in this world that can't be overcome."

"If you retreat the moment you encounter difficulty, then human society might still be in the feudal era by now."

"And also, you two must help me come out of the Alice Apartment alive."

"Otherwise, if I die inside, you two... don't even think about living either!!!!"

The last sentence was spoken slowly, and viciously.

It was filled with a thick sense of threat.

Lin Feng's expression clearly turned hostile, "What? If you die inside, are you saying someone will come after us two to kill us after you're dead?"

Yang Kang spread his hands, "Think whatever you want. In short, if you don't believe me, you can try."

Wang Baobao, standing to the side, fell silent.

As the saying goes, an open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to defend against.

If this guy before them really got desperate and played his hand.

If he made some arrangements before he died.

Like hiring assassins to kill them.

They really would have no way to defend against it.

After all, you can't be on guard forever, can you?

"Heh, looks like we're grasshoppers tied to the same rope now."

If looks could kill, Lin Feng would have already killed the person before him eight or ten times over.

Yang Kang noticed Lin Feng's gaze, "Of course, you could also choose to kill me right now. But of course, if I die now, you two won't live long either."

"And besides, there's no deep-seated hatred between us. I just want you experienced guys to help me. You'd agree, right?"

Wang Baobao sighed deeply, "Alright, you go out first. Wait for us in the lobby downstairs. We'll get dressed and come out to discuss how to help you."

"Good, my two good friends."

Yang Kang stepped out of this bathroom that was larger than an ordinary person's living room.

The bathroom door was closed behind him.

After it was closed.

Lin Feng raised both fists and slammed them down into the bathtub he was standing in.

Each strike sent huge splashes of water flying with a *splash splash* sound.

"Kao! Kao! Kao!"

"Fuck his mother!"

He was venting his anger through this action.

After all, he had just narrowly escaped death at the Alice Apartment, and now he was being dragged right back into it.

"Alright, brother, stop being angry. If we're talking about anger and feeling wronged and stifled, I'm in a worse situation than you."

Wang Baobao got out of the bathtub.

He was just going to take a quick shower, dry off, put on a bathrobe, and go out.

Lin Feng was still splashing the water...

More than ten minutes later.

In the villa's first-floor lobby.

Lin Feng and Wang Baobao, each wearing a white bathrobe, sat opposite Yang Kang.

Yang Kang looked around and said, "There should be more than just the three of us here, right? So shouldn't we talk in a room? Aren't you afraid those lovely female companions of yours might overhear?"

Lin Feng's face darkened.

It seemed this Yang Kang had been keeping an eye on the two of them for a while.

He even knew about the matter with the eight female students.
