So, where did the disappeared people actually go?

More importantly, if the boss really disappears and doesn't come back, what about the salary? Can he inherit this virtual game room?

Ding dong!

As Lin Xia was lost in thought, the glass door suddenly opened.

Lin Xia was about to turn his head to greet the customer, only to find there was no one outside, and the cold wind mixed with drizzle brushed his cheeks.

Thinking the glass door was broken, Lin Xia didn't pay much attention and glanced at the still-playing television.

At this moment, the lights in the virtual room suddenly started flickering.

A cold aura attacked from the side, making Lin Xia shiver uncontrollably.

When he turned his head, he saw the computer screen on the cashier counter twisting, pixels being kneaded by an invisible hand, gradually reshaping into a line of blood-colored text:

[Are you tired of the monotonous life repeating day after day, willing to step into an unknown world for power beyond mortals?]

Yes/No.

The lights overhead continued to flicker.

The writing on the computer seemed written in fresh blood, with edges constantly dripping.

The sudden eerie scene made Lin Xia instinctively take a step back, bumping into the promotional stand behind him, which fell with a noise that seemed exceptionally loud in the silent virtual room.

The blood-colored text on the computer screen began to enlarge, as if it were about to crawl out of the screen.

Lin Xia felt his temple throbbing, and his heartbeat accelerated, exclaiming in instinctive fear:

"No!"

After Lin Xia gave his answer, the word "Yes" on the computer screen quickly enlarged, as if pressed by an invisible hand to confirm.

After the text faded, two new lines appeared on the screen:

[Welcome, Bliss Players. I look forward to your performance!]

[Loading Newbie Trial Scene...]

"No, no, I chose no!"

The lights suddenly returned to normal.

But just when Lin Xia thought he was hallucinating due to staying up late, a sudden scene made him gasp.

The doors of the three virtual rooms in the hallway ahead automatically opened, and the three players who had been experiencing the virtual game came out of their rooms.

Crack! Crack!

Their skeletons seemed to be misaligning and rearranging, with strange lines appearing on the surface of their skin, as if some creature was writhing underneath.

Muscles also began to uncontrollably swell, bursting through their once-fitting clothes, revealing grayish-blue skin.

Thud!

One player's remote control device fell to the ground.

His fingers became sharp and slender, nails rapidly growing into sharp black claws.

His face, during the transformation, looked incredibly hideous, with his mandible jutting forward and teeth becoming sharp, like a beast's fangs.

Eyes quickly sunken, pupils contracted into thin slits, flickering with red light.

The once messy hair became coarse, like some beast's mane, covering their neck and shoulders.

The mysterious transformation continued.

The bodies of these three players swelled, backs arching, spine protruding as if about to pierce the skin.

With a low roar, their thighs burst through their trousers, feet twisting into hoof-like shapes.

Their original appearance completely twisted, replaced by a huge, grotesque monster that left Lin Xia breathless.

At this moment, they seemed like demons crawling up from the depths of hell.

"Hiss."

Lin Xia's pupils contracted sharply, his heart pounding in his chest like a drum.

The three players before him had completely turned into monsters.

At this point, fangs were exposed, claws gleaming coldly, as if they would leap and tear him apart the next second.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xia resolutely grabbed a metal rod from under the cashier counter.

This was a self-defense weapon the boss had equipped him with, mainly to deal with drunk troublemakers at night passing by the virtual room, but he had no confidence it could hold against monsters.

His fingers tightly clenched the metal rod, the cold touch spreading from his palm.

Just then, the three monsters resembling twisted beasts roared and charged, claws scraping on the shelves with a harsh screeching sound.

Lin Xia stood behind the cashier, tightly gripping the metal stick, his body trembling with excitement, knuckles turning white from exertion, muscle tense under bronzed skin, like a bow fully drawn.

The first monster suddenly leaped, directly pouncing to bite his face.

Lin Xia decisively took a step back.

Crash!

The glass at the cashier was shattered by the monster, and he fiercely swung the metal rod at the monster's head.

With a muffled "crack," the monster's head tilted to one side from the impact.

But its claws raked across his chest, leaving three bloody marks.

The pain made Lin Xia let out a low roar, raising the rod again to smash the monster's neck, breaking it.

Then he kicked the monster lying in front of the cashier, sending it flying.

At this point, the second monster was already charging from the side, claws aiming for his waist and abdomen.

He deftly twisted his body, taking advantage of the force to sweep the metal rod.

The rod hit the monster's ribcage with a thud, knocking it back a few steps, but it quickly roared and lunged again.

The remaining monster also attacked from right in front.

For some reason, Lin Xia felt like he was on a stimulant.

The fear that had surfaced earlier dissipated like a thin mist, evaporated by the searing war intent.

He gritted his teeth, and facing the monster charging straight at him, swung the metal rod upward, striking the monster's jaw from below.

The monster's head snapped back, fangs shattering, spraying black blood.

He followed with a kick to the monster's belly, sending it flying.
