"Chenchen, look, isn’t that Huo Jingchen? So this isn’t a dream, it’s real?" Wei Wenlan clutched Ah Chen’s arm, her eyes filled with uncertainty as she gazed at the tall, handsome man standing at the villa’s entrance not far away.

Beside Huo Jingchen were two other people. One was a medium-height young man with a common appearance, whom Ah Chen also recognized. In the Commissioner’s memory, his name was Wei Yao, Huo Jingchen’s college roommate and good friend. When Huo Jingchen was down on his luck, Wei Yao took good care of him, so later when Huo Jingchen became successful, he immediately invited Wei Yao to work in his company.

As for the other beautiful woman, her name was Qin Lin.

"Why is Qin Lin here too?" Before Ah Chen could think further, Wei Wenlan expressed her confusion, whispering, "The list was filled out by Huo Jingchen, and he probably listed many names. But for something this dangerous, even the closest of friends would hesitate. After all, once you come in here, it’s uncertain if you can get out, and no one can guarantee it."

Ah Chen glanced casually at Qin Lin before withdrawing her gaze. Huo Jingchen had already noticed them and was walking over.

Taking advantage of this short distance, she asked Wei Wenlan, "So this has nothing to do with you. Why did you come? If we can’t pass the trial, it might cost us our lives."

"Hmph, you’re the one to talk. If it weren’t for your infatuation and insistence on coming here to help Huo Jingchen, would I be here?" Wei Wenlan pretended to be angry, tapping Ah Chen’s temple. "Why does a perfectly good person have such a lovesick mind?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll get you out of here. We’ll make it out alive," Ah Chen said, making Wei Wenlan laugh loudly, hugging her arm with genuine happiness.

"It’s okay, even though it’s dangerous, it’s also quite interesting. This is the first time in my life I’ve encountered something like this; I just had to come and see it. Without you, I wouldn’t have dared to come. With you here, I’m not afraid. After all, I’ve already died once. If something truly happens, it’s not a loss; these past ten years were just a bonus."

If it weren’t for Chenchen back then, she would have truly died.

So she couldn’t let her come alone after learning about this.

Seeing the wonders here before dying is not bad, actually quite interesting.

This story starts with Huo Jingchen’s unexpected car accident and subsequent coma. Doctors outside had already determined that his chances of waking were very slim, with the best outcome being a vegetative state. But at that moment, Huo Jingchen was pulled into an infinite world, giving him a chance to live. As long as he cleared the levels here, he could not only return alive but also receive generous rewards. Failing the trials, however, meant staying here forever.

For Huo Jingchen, this was a great surprise, and he didn’t hesitate to sign the contract.

But the trials came with conditions. He needed a team of five to start the trial. Knowing full well that some might just be pulling in more people to share the risk, Huo Jingchen wasn’t going to give up in the face of death threats.

It was also worth mentioning that he couldn’t just drag anyone in; he had to clearly explain the situation, and they had to willingly sign the contract.

Huo Jingchen had already prepared for the worst, in this dangerous place. Maybe one or two people would be willing to come in and help him, but gathering five seemed unlikely. His survival instinct, being so close to death, was strong, so he listed all the names of people he knew.

Whether five people would actually come, he didn’t know. He could only wait here.

The infinite world gave him three days, and if he couldn’t form a team within that time, he would never return.

To his surprise, in less than two days, four people had come in.

This time, Ah Chen’s identity was Huo Jingchen’s fiancée, already engaged. The Commissioner was deeply infatuated with Huo Jingchen and jumped at the chance to help him wake up. She had no family left in this world, and Wei Wenlan was her best friend. Before entering, she met Wei Wenlan once.

Little did she know that upon meeting, Wei Wenlan would point out what she wanted to say, only then realizing that Wei Wenlan had also received the hint.

Wei Wenlan tried to dissuade her, but it was in vain. She eventually decided to follow her in.

The Commisioner’s persistence was partly because she always felt that Huo Jingchen genuinely liked her. From the initial unfamiliarity to later interactions and post-engagement attentiveness. Since he chose her, and she liked him, with a chance to save him, how could she not be willing?

The only worry was that Wei Wenlan, who promised not to come, ended up sneaking in. It seemed that as soon as she signed the contract, Wei Wenlan followed suit; otherwise, they wouldn’t appear here at almost the same time.

The first trial they had to pass: Lying comes with a price.

The location was inside this villa in front of them, requiring a day of residence.

During this time, everyone had to ask a question, and all must answer. The hint was not to lie, as lying would trigger rules and lead to monsters hunting them.

Asking simple questions wasn’t difficult.

But things were definitely not that simple. In this day’s duration, they should try their best not to lie, though the rule isn’t triggered 100% at times, it’s still dangerous.

In fact, by speaking less, trouble could be avoided.

A seemingly simple level, yet it dealt a fatal blow to the Commissioner.

During the questioning session, Wei Yao asked a question about the player’s love interest, and surprisingly, Huo Jingchen’s answer wasn’t her. How could the Commissioner accept this result? The engagement was something Huo Jingchen agreed to, and he acted as if he cared deeply about her.

Although she was quite smitten and infatuated with him, if he had stated early on that he had someone he liked, she would never have agreed to the engagement.

She pressed on, wanting to know why. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Huo Jingchen merely apologized, saying the engagement with her was an impulsive decision to make the one he liked regret.

And the one he truly loved was Qin Lin; they had past connections from many years ago.

When Huo Jingchen was eighteen, originally the young master of the Huo Family, he got lost as a child, wandering outside for over ten years, enduring great hardships. During his toughest times, he met twenty-four-year-old Qin Lin. At that time, Qin Lin was also troubled by family matters, not wanting to follow family wishes and enter an arranged marriage. They met several times and had a good impression of each other.

Qin Lin, knowing his difficulties, had the thought of raising a brother, in the sense of providing for him.

Huo Jingchen, however, was experiencing budding feelings and always avoided due to their status difference.

When Qin Lin proposed to support him, he was both embarrassed and angry, thinking he was blind to have fallen for someone like her.
