Beast Taming: the More the Better

Chapter 1245: Chapter 511: Surging Crowds! The Demon King Descends!

Unfortunately, it was obvious that in everyone’s eyes, any excuse from this Explorer who couldn’t even pass the first level was meaningless and worthless. They could only watch with contempt as this guy scurried away from the entrance of Heart of Soul.

"Goodness, he put on quite a show. Turns out he’s just a noob who couldn’t even beat the first level. Let’s wait for an Expert to come out. By the way, how many players can Heart of Soul accommodate at once? It’s not like those people who went in will never come out, right?" someone wondered aloud.

However, it was soon proven that they were completely overthinking it.

The previous two were like the first wave of floodwaters after the gates opened. Figures quickly walked—or were carried—out from inside. Yet, the queue of people waiting to enter continued to move forward in an orderly manner, advancing every two minutes. Clearly, the number of people coming and going didn’t affect the steady stream of new entrants at all.

This made a few confident figures start to feel nervous.

For example, there was a girl wearing a mask and a sun hat who had already entered the lobby of Heart of Soul, staring at the large screen displaying the current number of players inside. Yin Yin had sneaked here secretly.

As one of the top internet celebrities today, Yin’s school belle, who would get stopped for photos just walking down the street, did a very good job of maintaining her privacy. However, this time, Yin Yin was a bit hesitant. This thing seemed genuinely difficult. That damn Li Shu hadn’t leaked any inside information to her.

But since she was already here, having waited in line since early morning without any special privileges, Yin’s school belle wouldn’t give up no matter what. After all, she had boasted in her fan group that she would clear the game.

With this in mind, seeing that it was finally her turn, Yin Yin stepped forward and approached the counter. Greeted by the receptionist’s smile, Yin Yin received her wristband watch and paid the half-price opening admission fee of two hundred and fifty yuan.

"This is your numbered wristband. Once you put it on, we will be able to monitor your safety status and location at all Times to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. Please understand!

"Additionally, upon entering each area, the wristband will introduce the area’s Rules and provide some mission hints! We hope you have a great Time. However, before entering, please sign a liability waiver and a non-disclosure agreement. Also, please note that recording videos or taking photos with electronic devices is generally not allowed inside Heart of Soul!

"Please let me keep all mobile phones and other electronic devices for you as well. Thank you for your understanding."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Yin Yin looked slightly disappointed. If possible, she really wanted to livestream from inside. However, she obediently handed over the livestreaming equipment from her backpack. She glanced at the NDA and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the confidentiality period was only seven days. She then pointed to the confidentiality clause and asked, "Miss, why is the Time for this non-disclosure agreement only seven days? And the requirements don’t seem particularly strict. If the focus is on puzzle-solving, wouldn’t this put you at a disadvantage?"

The receptionist explained, "It’s like this, ma’am. The detailed settings of our internal levels, the entry missions, and some requirements only have a Time of seven days. After seven days, Heart of Soul will have specialized scenario designers revamp them!

"Past discussions and experiences will not only become invalid, but they might also mislead players. This is one of the joys of exploring and playing in Heart of Soul!"

"I see!" Yin Yin nodded.

It was indeed a new attraction created by Su Ping; it certainly didn’t disappoint.

Looking at Yin Yin, the receptionist continued to remind her, "Besides that, within the seven days, you can save your clearance progress, take a break, and re-enter later! Of course, if you fail a level challenge and trigger a Death ending, you will not be able to save your progress anymore. You will only be able to re-enter and start the challenge from the very beginning.

"As long as you pass a level, you can press the call button and have an internal staff member escort you out, allowing you to challenge the next level whenever you’re ready. This, of course, must also be done within the seven-day challenge period. Otherwise, when the level settings change, your previous challenge progress will become invalid."

Yin Yin nodded. She was surprised to learn that this was how it worked. No wonder. In that case, among the people who had left earlier, some might have already passed the first level.

With this thought, Yin Yin immediately regained her confidence and rallied her Spirit.

"Alright, if you two have no further questions, please follow our staff to enter the first level of Heart of Soul: Bloody Train!"

Stepping out of the elevator, the cold, eerie wind made her shiver uncontrollably.

Looking at the subway train parked in front of the elevator entrance, the corner of Yin Yin’s eye twitched. She wondered where Su Ping had found this piece of junk. The train was heavily rusted. Not only were there dark, dried blood crusts on the steps, but there were also several glaringly obvious blood-red handprints on the few windows.

This first level was clearly meant to be a transportation tool for the scene—did it have to display such undisguised malice?

Yin Yin pursed her lips, gathered her courage, and stepped onto this Death train that seemed prepared solely for her.
