Lu Yuan did not take out his chainsaw, not because he was intentionally hiding it, but because he was holding a cola in one hand, and given the physique of the chainsaw, he simply could not take it out with one hand.
Mu Wei San looked at the detonator in front of him and could not help but feel disdain. Who would not purchase weapon equipment first in the early stages of the Game, but instead directly exchange for a detonator? This thing is powerful, but it is gone after one use. Are you expecting to hold the detonator and smash the enemy's head with it?
Therefore, in the eyes of Mu Wei San, Lu Yuan was immediately kicked into the ranks of "bottom-tier players." However, he did not care about this. After all, this was a Team Instance. When they encountered big trouble, he would just let Lu Yuan throw the detonator, and then whether he lived or died would have nothing to do with him.
"Alright, then let's not waste time," Mu Wei San shouted.
Just like that, the group filed into the hotel.
After entering the hotel, what presented itself to everyone was a lobby. Somewhat unexpectedly, this lobby was quite large. Directly in front was a reception desk, and to the side were several sofas covered in dust. Opposite the sofas were two elevators. It was clear that this place must have been decorated very well before, but at this moment, everything was shrouded in shadow, appearing empty and unsettling.
"Since the Quest is to investigate this place first, let's search the first floor first. Everyone walk together, don't split up, so we can look out for each other," Brother Ye said first.
After hearing this, Mu Wei San did not refute it, but he was a bit annoyed because, at the beginning, he wanted to split up to find clues. However, since this Instance had no time limit, he nodded and agreed.
The group searched the lobby for a while, but the lobby was indeed very empty. There were no rooms at all, only a toilet on each side and an employee rest room. Besides that, there was nothing else.
The group did not spend too much time sweeping the entire first floor, and they did not find any useful things. Afterward, everyone walked together to the second floor.
The structure of the second floor of the hotel was very simple; it was an "L" shaped corridor. On both sides of the corridor were rooms. At this moment, the group was standing at one end of the corridor, and the stairs going up were already cut off. It looked like if they wanted to go to the third floor, they had to walk to the other end of the corridor.
This design was very annoying. If it were in reality, the Designer of these stairs would probably be scolded to death. But for everyone, it was nothing. Even if it wasn't designed this way, they would still have to search this floor before heading to the third floor.
"Everyone be careful, there are too many rooms, and the possibility of monsters inside is very high," Mu Wei San said, holding his shield.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound.
Mu Wei San's expression tightened, and he immediately turned back, thinking to himself that he was indeed right; the Minion had already rushed out from the rooms on both sides.
Then, he froze for a moment because he saw that the one who pushed open the room door was not a Minion, but Lu Yuan. He was carrying a can of cola, swaying, and walked in like nothing was wrong.
"Hey, is anyone here?" he shouted while drinking his cola.
The people next to him were also a bit confused, thinking to themselves how this person, without paying attention, just opened the door on his own, and aren't you afraid of triggering some monster inside by doing this?
Brother Mu naturally thought the same. He quickly took a few steps to catch up behind Lu Yuan, reached out his large hand to grab his collar, and dragged him out. "Asshole! Can you not just open doors randomly? What if there's a monster inside?!" he roared.
Lu Yuan remained in that unhurried manner: "But it looks like there are no monsters inside."
"Are you a newbie who just started playing the Game? If there were a monster inside, could you still be talking to me so calmly?" Mu Wei San shouted.
At the very beginning of the Instance, he still had some confidence in his teammates, but soon he discovered that the people matched into this Instance were all a group of casual players. The one with the same Level as him was actually a teenage little girl. With such a configuration, he was immediately pushed into the position of a babysitter. Plus, this guy named Lu Yuan not only dragged them down but also always acted without authorization. Such a person was simply an unstable factor in the team!
Therefore, Brother Mu's good mood was completely gone, and the more he looked at Lu Yuan, the more displeased he became.
However, under this scolding, Lu Yuan still had a nonchalant expression: "So, you were planning to just walk past quietly like that?"
"Nonsense, the combat power of you people is so poor, so don't go touching this and that, okay!" Mu Wei San said.
"Alright, it seems you are the kind of player who has high requirements for combat power and likes to clear the level directly," Lu Yuan said after taking a sip of cola: "Then according to your Game method, we would just walk up bit by bit until we trigger some event or encounter 'Meizi', and then everyone works together to kill her, right?"
It must be said that Lu Yuan was right, and the vast majority of players chose this way of playing.
However, Lu Yuan clearly had not finished speaking. He continued: "Although this method is very direct, it is also because it is too direct that it will lead to missing many clues. This is a difficult Team Instance, and as you just said, except for yourself, our combat power is actually not that strong. If we fight directly, we might not have it so easy, so finding more clues and trying to lower the difficulty of the battle is the best method."
"And even setting aside the overall battle strategy, just speaking of this corridor, how do you know there are monsters in these rooms? What if there are key Items? And even if there are only monsters, how do you know they won't all rush out at once when everyone reaches the middle of the path and then attack us from the front and back? This corridor is narrow and long; wouldn't it be a pity if no Traps were designed? In this way, it's better for us to open the doors one by one. Even if there really is a monster, we are only facing the enemies in one room, and it shouldn't take much effort to fight."
Mu Wei San was half a head taller than Lu Yuan. Originally, his look of glaring down at Lu Yuan was quite fierce, but as Lu Yuan kept talking, his expression became calmer and calmer, gradually turning into a blank look.
Finally, he seemed to swallow his saliva unconsciously.
"It... it seems to make sense..."
（ Hey, there was a problem with the Contract, and I still can't make a cover, boohoo~ Tickets ）
