After the Full-Level Boss Entered the Infinite Game By Mistake

Chapter 599

After this system prompt, there was no player death notification for a long time.

Of course, there wouldn’t be a notification.

They were already dead, so why would there be another notification?

After all, Bai Lixin hadn’t entered the safe house so he didn’t know the situation inside: [Let’s wait and see, don’t alert the enemy. Go back to the hall now and act as if you know nothing.]

[Restore the scene to its original state.]

Xia Chi glanced at the dark hole above. The powerful image from earlier flashed through his mind again.

He gathered his courage, went back onto the sink and placed the ceiling back in its original position.

Then, he wiped the footprints and stains off the sink, took a deep breath, and walked out of the bathroom with a nervous heart.

Just as he stepped out of the bathroom, Xia Chi, who was distracted by his thoughts, almost bumped into someone.

At the last second, before Xia Chi could react, he felt a force push his shoulder heavily, making him stumble back two steps.

Xia Chi came back to his senses, and when he saw who it was, his heart skipped a beat and a flash of panic passed through his eyes.

Black-framed Glasses: “Hey, don’t you watch where you’re going? Do you know you almost bumped into me?”

Xia Chi’s throat moved up and down with difficulty as he swallowed. “Sorry.”

Pink Hair: “Brother Glasses, let it go. He didn’t mean it.”

The player with black-framed glasses wore an arrogant expression. “Just because it wasn’t intentional doesn’t mean there’s no responsibility. If I accidentally kill someone, should the police not arrest me?”

Xia Chi’s eyes quickly scanned the two people in front of him.

Only Pink Hair and Black-framed Glasses came to the second floor; the other player didn’t follow.

Earlier, he was so preoccupied that he didn’t hear any footsteps outside. He didn’t know when Pink Hair and Black-framed Glasses arrived or if they saw him standing on the sink and restoring the ceiling.

What if Pink Hair was the monster wearing human skin…

Xia Chi’s eyes swept over Pink Hair’s harmless and delicate face, his heart sinking.

Seemingly sensing Xia Chi’s gaze, Pink Hair suddenly looked up and accurately locked eyes with Xia Chi.

Pink Hair: “Brother, why do you look a bit nervous?”

Xia Chi forced a smile. “Do I? I’m fine.”

Pink Hair tilted his head, a thoughtful light flashing through his eyes.

Xia Chi gulped and his hand gripping the sink behind him tightened

“I know.” Pink Hair pointed his index finger at his chin. “Are you almost reaching the safe house time limit?”

Xia Chi heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart suddenly settled down, “Yes, the safe house time limit is approaching.”

Pink Hair’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light. “I knew it. Brother, how much time do you have left until the time limit?”

Xia Chi glanced at the system’s safety time display. “32 minutes.”

“32 minutes…” Pink Hair repeated the time softly, then looked at Xia Chi again, his eyes sparkling with light. “Brother, trust me. Don’t go out. You’re lucky. When it’s your turn, the time limit will refresh.”

Xia Chi was extremely nervous. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid they’d find out something. In his panic, he looked into Pink Hair’s eyes and suddenly found them inexplicably beautiful.

Pink Hair’s whole body seemed to be covered by a hazy filter and his eyes were misty. Xia Chi even smelled a sweet scent.

The scent had hints of milk, candy, and flowers. Mixed together, it was mouth watering.

Earlier, he thought Pink Hair was not only suspicious but also annoying. Now, Pink Hair looked cute, fragrant, and sweet.

Xia Chi’s eyes became a bit dazed.

Pink Hair’s words entered his ears, and he found them very convincing.

Yes, he was very lucky. If he stayed, the safe house time limit would definitely refresh for him.

Xia Chi felt dizzy, and Pink Hair’s smile in front of him widened. He felt parched and his throat kept swallowing.

[Ding!]

A sudden private chat notification pierced Xia Chi’s mind, cutting through his consciousness.

Xia Chi shivered and his eyes became clearer.

He opened the private chat window. The message was from Bai Lixin: [Xia Chi, are you in the hall on the first floor?]

[You must not panic. Didn’t you say Pink Hair only approaches when the players are obviously panicking? Based on your description, I suspect Pink Hair’s skill is psychological suggestion, which is most effective when the target’s mind is unstable.]

Xia Chi shook his head and the confusion clouding his brain receded.

He glanced at Pink Hair cautiously. It would have been fine if he hadn’t looked, what he saw almost made his heart jump out.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

His heart was pounding.

It felt like falling in love.

Pink Hair’s delicate face magnified and beautified before his eyes. It seemed there was no one more attractive or appealing in the world.

For a moment, Xia Chi even felt the urge to kneel and propose.

Shocked by his absurd thought, Xia Chi turned on the faucet and, without a word, placed his head under the icy water.

The freezing water flowed down his neck into his clothes, soaking his chest and back.

The cold water instantly cleared Xia Chi’s mind.

Black-framed Glasses was startled by Xia Chi’s action. “Hey, are you crazy?! Do you feel that you’re not dying fast enough?”

After regaining his senses, Xia Chi’s face was covered in water, and water was dripping from his wet hair onto the ground. He looked like a drowned rat that had just climbed out of the water.

Black-framed Glasses looked at him with disdain.

Pink Hair, however, had a serious expression.

Xia Chi’s eyes were red. He glanced at Pink Hair coldly and then hurriedly left the bathroom, leaving a trail of water behind him.

Seeing Xia Chi leave, Black-framed Glasses showed a look of contempt. “What a lunatic. Little Brother, are you scared?”

Pink Hair pursed his lips slightly, his gaze following Xia Chi’s retreating figure with a thoughtful look. “I’m fine. Brother, I don’t like this person.”

Black-framed Glasses looked indignant. “I don’t like him either!”

Pink Hair tilted his head lazily towards Black-framed Glasses, his gaze returning to its usual charming look, and his tone was coquettish. “Brother, can you help me kill him?”

Black-framed Glasses looked confused for a moment. “Okay.”

“Hahaha.” Pink Hair suddenly burst into laughter, as if something amusing had happened. “I’m just kidding. I haven’t forgotten the game rules. Those who attack players will be punished by the system. I care about you so much, how could I bear to see you punished? Brother, I need to go to the bathroom. Wait for me outside. I’m scared of the dark.”

Black-framed Glasses scratched his head bashfully. “Mm-hmm, okay. Little brother, go ahead!”

…

Xia Chi’s drenched appearance immediately attracted the attention of the players in the hall.

He didn’t care about them and went straight to a corner, took out a towel from his backpack, and roughly dried himself before standing there in a daze.

Only when the last bit of turmoil and ripples in his heart dissipated did Xia Chi make a sigh of relief and open the private chat window.

Xia Chi: [I just met him. He’s a tough guy, I almost fell for it.]

Bai Lixin: [Oh? What did it feel like at that time?]

Xia Chi felt a bit irritated as he recalled: [It felt like I became his dog. If he told me to die, I’d probably seriously consider how to die. No wonder so many players fell for it. It’s too sinister.]

Bai Lixin: [Hearing you say that, I actually want to meet this person.]

Xia Chi’s previously irritated mood cleared up upon seeing this message.

He imagined the scene of Bai Lixin and Pink Hair confronting each other and suddenly felt curious about what would happen!

After rubbing his face, Xia Chi saw three fully armed players coming down the stairs.

One of them was exceptionally tall. It seemed to be Song Yuantian and his two companions.

By now, the water on Xia Chi’s body had almost dried. Seeing the three heading towards the door, Xia Chi stopped hesitating and quickly put on his gear.

[Brother, Song Yuantian, Samael, and Emil have come down. It looks like they’re preparing to leave the safe house.] Xia Chi ran to the three, [I’m going out with them. Let’s meet up. I don’t want to stay in this safe house for another minute. It’s too weird here. I feel safer being around you.]

Staying any longer might mean Pink Hair would come over to him again. It was better to leave!

The four of them leaving together immediately drew the players’ attention.

[Four players have voluntarily left the safe house before the safe house time limit.]

[Remaining positions in the safe house: 4.]

[Remaining positions in the safe house: 3.]

[Remaining positions in the safe house: 1.]

[Remaining positions in the safe house: 0.]

[There are 33 minutes until the next safe house time limit, and 52 minutes until the cold wave ends. I wish you a happy game.]

Stepping from the warm safe house into the biting cold, every step was extremely difficult.

Xia Chi tried to huddle as much as possible, and his scalp was prickling with pain.

So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold…

So cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold, so cold…

-62 degrees.

-62.34 degrees.

-62.55 degrees.

The cold Goose Feather Mountain didn’t care about life or death and stubbornly continued to lower the temperature.

After the four of them came out, they went straight to Bai Lixin and Lin Jue’s position. Though it was only a few meters away, it took them several minutes to get there.

As soon as they arrived, the black and white down jacket and Little Dinosaur made room for them, wrapping the four of them inside. The six of them huddled together tightly. Only when their bodies were pressed close did Xia Chi feel like he was alive again.

‘So warm.’

‘Brother’s down jacket is so warm, like a big fat panda and I am now in the panda’s arms.’

‘Brother is the best in the world.’

[Hold on a little longer,] Bai Lixin’s private message came, [The cold wave will end soon.]

Xia Chi almost cried. ‘Brother’s words are so warm. Wuuuu.’

Perhaps they got used to the cold after a while, as there were no more deaths among the players despite the temperature still dropping outside.

Everyone clung together like fur, tightly hugging each other to withstand the harsh weather together.

-63 degrees.

-64 degrees.

-65 degrees…

50 minutes.

40 minutes.

30 minutes.

10 minutes.

5 minutes.

1 minute…

Time passed little by little, and finally, the cold wave ended.

The howling cold wind stopped abruptly. The snowflakes in the sky fell to the ground in an instant like lifeless mosquitoes.

The players who were huddled together finally had a chance to catch their breath. They took deep breaths of fresh air through their thick masks, celebrating their hard-won rebirth.

The temperature finally stabilized at -70 degrees.

“The cold wave is finally over!” Someone shouted excitedly, “I survived at -70 degrees. Damn, I’m awesome.”

“Indeed, the lowest temperature on Mount Everest is just over -60 degrees. Rounding up, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I’ve climbed Everest!”

“Cloud climbing, buddy!”

A tight embrace had turned the previously wary and unfamiliar players into friends.

“It’s strange. I don’t feel as cold as I did at the beginning. Do you guys feel that way too?”

Someone asked this question.

A simple question stirred up a lot of discussion among the players.

“Yeah, me too. It seems much warmer now.”

“The temperature I feel now is similar to winter back home. Just so you know, it’s -10 degrees in winter at home.”

“Can someone explain? Are we experiencing physical dysfunction?”

“Not exactly. Look at the attribute display in the bottom right corner of the system panel. Does it show a cold resistance attribute?”

Upon hearing this, Xia Chi immediately opened his attribute panel. His bottom right corner was empty; there was no cold resistance attribute.

Bai Lixin’s private message came: [I have cold resistance attribute now, Level 1.]

Xia Chi: [Is it because I just came out of the safe house?]

Bai Lixin: [It’s possible.]

“I see it! Cold resistance Level 1!”

“I have it too!”

“I have it as well!”

“So the reason we’re not cold now is because we activated the cold resistance attribute. Hahaha, I thought we’d be doomed if we didn’t go to the safe house, but it turns out there’s an unexpected gain.”

“Misfortunes are the foundation of blessings, and blessings are the root of misfortunes. The ancients were not deceiving me.”

After the cold wind dissipated, the players collapsed in the snow exhaustedly, some sitting, some lying down.

They relaxed completely, as if this was their halftime break.

Bai Lixin focused on the description of the [Cold Resistance] attribute.

[Skill: Cold Resistance]

[Level: 1 (Maximum Level 3)]

[Trigger Method: Passive trigger, upgrades are after experience accumulation.]

[Skill Description: Increases the body’s ability to resist cold.]

The system voice echoed in the players’ ears.

[The cold wave has ended.]

[Congratulations to the players for successfully resisting the snowstorm. Tonight will be a calm and peaceful night. Let us look forward to the arrival of the sun tomorrow.]

[There are 7 hours and 21 minutes until the next safe house time limit.]

[I wish all players sweet dreams. Good night.]

The system prompt was like a pardon.

Everyone felt as if they had been pardoned, and their bodies suddenly relaxed.

The players in the safe house had been refreshed and a new group of players entered.

With their tensed muscles now stretched, sleepiness quickly took over.

Without a house, the players made do with what they had.

Those with better conditions took out wooden planks from their backpacks to use as beds. Those with fewer conditions used cloth strips or clothes as blankets and lay in the snow. Those with nothing at all leaned against each other for warmth.

Everyone lay casually on the ground, clearly exhausted.

However, not everyone went to sleep.

In a corner far from the crowd, six people had gathered together.

They looked at the crowd not far away. In the center of the crowd, a player in a green down jacket stood upright, like the most diligent scarecrow in a field.

Xia Chi glanced at the green down jacket that stood out in the crowd. “Brother, this person has strong organizational skills. I saw in the hall earlier that thanks to him organizing the players in time, everyone was able to unite in the shortest amount of time.”

Bai Lixin pondered for a moment. “He seems to have predictive abilities.”

Song Yuantian: “How so?”

Bai Lixin: “The safe house was right next to us. Instinctively, people would choose the safe house first, but he didn’t even look at it. All his focus was on resisting the snowstorm. Doesn’t that seem strange?”

Song Yuantian: “It’s as if he knew that staying in the cold would trigger the cold resistance skill. Could he have some kind of divination or prediction skill?”

Speaking of the cold resistance skill, Xia Chi sighed. “If I’d known we’d get a cold resistance skill for staying outside, I would have stayed out from the start. Now none of us have the cold resistance skill. Does that mean our ability to withstand the cold will be much worse?”

Bai Lixin: “The maximum level of cold resistance skill is level 3. The upper limit is quite restricted. Even if you’re behind now, it’s okay. You’ll reach the maximum level later through accumulating experience.”

Bai Lixin picked up a branch from the ground and began drawing in the snow.

The strong wind had ceased, and a large round moon rose in the sky.

The pale moonlight spread across the land, illuminating it in a silvery white.

The slender branch moved across the snow, slowly outlining a “1.”

“First, besides Samael, two more players have appeared. We still don’t know their identities.”

He then slowly wrote a “2” below.

“Second, a corpse appeared in the safe house. The corpse is completely skinned, and all clothes and equipment are missing. It seems that someone replaced the dead player.”

Then came a “3.”

“There is an unknown danger in the snow. It caused the death of two people in our team. It might also be this unknown danger that killed those five players in the last team. It’s not certain whether there’s only one unknown danger; it’s likely there are many. The distribution range of players was wide at the time, but the death notifications were very close.”

“The only person who has the clues now is the survivor, but now the survivor is asleep, we can only wait until tomorrow to ask him for detailed information.”

After summarizing, Bai Lixin looked around. “Is there anything else to add?”

An arm reached out from beside him, grabbed the branch from Bai Lixin’s hand and forcefully wrote a “4” in the snow.

Lin Jue gnashed his teeth: “Fourth, why was the fire ability I am so proud of banned? I don’t accept it!”

Xia Chi: “Hahahaha.”

The goggles all turned to look at Xia Chi.

Xia Chi instantly stopped laughing. “Ahem, the fifth.”

He wrote a “5” in the snow with his finger and spoke with a hint of fear. “There is definitely something wrong with that guy with pink hair. Everyone, stay away from him! Although I don’t have evidence, I suspect he’s the monster who skinned the corpse.”

“And the most important sixth point,” Song Yuantian added a note in the snow, “These issues are secondary. Our main task is to ‘survive’, to survive until the fourth day. If any of these conflict with survival, prioritize survival first.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Jue stood up and stretched. “Forget it, let’s talk more tomorrow. I’m tired and need to sleep.”

Bai Lixin used a branch to erase the numbers in the snow. “Everyone rest up, even if you’re not tired. Rest and recovery are crucial. We have three and a half days left, so it’s important to conserve energy.”

The discussion ended, and the six people found comfortable spots and positions to rest.

For the rest of the night, as the system had said, there were no more storms.

The world was silent, and aside from the cold, everything was fine.

The players were woken by a system notification.

[Three players left the safe house within the safe house time limit.]

[There are 3 spots in the safe house.]

[There are 5 minutes until the next safe house time limit. Please prepare accordingly.]

[I wish all players a pleasant game.]

Bai Lixin opened his eyes and looked towards the safe house.

Three players in heavy down jackets emerged from the safe house. The one in the center wearing a fluorescent pink down jacket was very conspicuous…

There were three vacant spots in the safe house, but this time, players did not flock there like before.

After five minutes, one more person came out of the safe house.

After about ten minutes, a player walked inside reluctantly.

[There are 3 vacant spots in the safe house.]

For a long time, no one entered the safe house. After a few more minutes, three players gradually walked into the safe house.

[The safe house is now full. There are 12 minutes until the next safe house time limit.]

Bai Lixin scanned the surroundings. The player in the green down jacket was now resting against the wooden wall of the safe house. Due to the goggles, he couldn’t tell if the person was asleep.

The three players who had just come out stopped not far from them.

It was still a bit dark, but the sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

Bai Lixin glanced at the system time; it was already past five in the morning.

He wasn’t the only one who was woken up. Players started moving, beginning a new day.

They had entered the coy at ten in the morning, so the first day would only end at ten today.

With the sunrise, the temperature display in the top right corner of the system panel also began to rise.

Unconsciously, the temperature had risen from -70 degrees Celsius to -65 degrees Celsius.

At six o’clock sharp, the system voice rang out again.

[Ding! A day’s plan begins in the morning, dear players, come and welcome the new dawn.]

[According to the weather forecast, tonight will usher in a stronger and longer-lasting cold wave. To withstand the severe cold, players need to gather sufficient supplies. After scouting, several potential supply locations have been discovered. Please choose where you want to go.]

[There are five suspected supply locations: ]

[1. Wild Cave]

[2. Research Team Relocation Point]

[3. Indigenous Historical Site]

[4. Glacier Graveyard]

[5. Deep Ice Spring]

[Players may form teams and choose to explore one or more of these locations.]

[Friendly reminder: Please ensure you return near the safe house before dark.]
