Otherwise, give these crafty kings a bit more time, and who knows, they might figure out an assembly line for dissection.

In a corner of the great hall.

A skeleton soldier stood in front of a spider corpse, rubbing its chin with its index finger. After a long time, it finally muttered thoughtfully.

"That's interesting."

Seeing [Table and Chair] squatting mysteriously in the corner, Gou Shi, who wandered around when he had nothing better to do, couldn't help but approach with curiosity.

"What's up, bro, found mushrooms here too?"

"No." Table and Chair shook his head, "I just discovered something interesting."

"What is it? Tell me about it." Thinking the fellow had found some bug, Gou Shi's eyes lit up as he urged him to elaborate.

Table and Chair wasn't secretive and shared his unexpected discovery.

"These things called Demon Crystals seem to be mainly distributed in areas dense with neurons."

The air grew subtly quiet for a moment.

Gou Shi initially thought the guy hadn't finished speaking, and after waiting for a while, he realized that was all he intended to say, his face involuntarily revealing confusion.

"Uh... is there a problem with that?"

Table and Chair touched his nasal bone with his index finger, his voice tinged with a hint of excitement as he spoke.

"No problem... But don't you find it fascinating?"

Gou Shi: "..."

Doesn't understand!

Isn't this just a game setting!

He couldn't fathom what was interesting here!

However, Table and Chair didn't think so and prattled on.

"Crystals that form only after a being's death and are all coincidentally concentrated near the nervous system! I dissected the corpses of ratmen, even that ratman BOSS, and found similar situations! Even players... you can find something similar on the corpses of players, and especially at the back of the neck!"

But what's the significance of this?

Gou Shi really wanted to ask that but felt it would be too insensitive, so he sighed with resignation.

"You and Yiye Zhiqu would get along well."

"Perhaps."

The eccentric didn't seem to care who he got along with and mumbled to himself.

"If only I could get a recently deceased human corpse..."

Gou Shi: "..."

...

Elsewhere, [Little Evening Hungry], who had just finished cleaning, dragged her weary body back to the Demon King Territory from the maze.

Although the game was addictive, playing for too long was tiring, almost like going to work!

But having said that...

Being able to move was satisfying for her already.

Maybe this was the true value of fully immersive virtual reality MMORPGs!

Thinking about the vast potential of the game after its open beta, she suddenly felt a surge of energy, as if her earlier fatigue had faded. Was the hard work not so burdensome anymore?

Wait a minute—

Was she brainwashed?

Just as Little Evening was pondering a place out of the way to log off, she suddenly noticed that everyone was looking at her.

Not just the players.

Even the NPCs squatting in the Stone Prison stared at her intently, as if she were some kind of monster.

As Little Evening was confused about what had happened, she overheard some skeleton soldiers' teasing.

"Well look at that..."

"We're all shirtless here, and how come you're wearing clothes?!"

Little Evening was stunned for a moment, following their gaze down, only to see her ribs, humerus... wrapped round and round in spider silk, looking like a fluffed-up spinning wheel.

The thought of this stuff coming out of a spider's mouth or rear end turned her face dark.

Even though her face was already pitch black.

"Drop dead!"

She picked up a rock in a fit of embarrassment and anger and threw it, hitting nothing but air.

Seeing this, the teasing skeleton soldiers scattered, and she couldn't catch them if she tried, only able to sit in a corner feeling dejected.

At that moment, two amiable skeleton soldiers approached, squatting down on either side of her.

"Need some help?" The one on the right gave her a tender smile, his poetic ID floating beside his head.

[Jingluo Nanbei]

Little Evening was touched.

Indeed—

There were still kind players in this world!

But being shy as she was, she felt awkward imposing on others in the game and politely waved her hands.

"No, no, I'll take care of it myself in a bit."

"Don't be so polite!" The skeleton on the left hugged her shoulder in a lively and cheerful laugh, "Our boss is brainstorming ways to make money! You seem to be solo, so we decided to start with you—"

"Hey! Now how am I supposed to make money if you blab like that!"

Jingluo Nanbei glared at her fiercely before turning to Little Evening, who looked perplexed, and coughed softly, putting back on a gentle and knowledgeable smile.

"Don't mind her, my bestie's not right in the head, occasionally she slips out things that bypass her brain... Cut her some slack for being a corpse, okay?"

"Damn it! What do you mean by not right in the head? And you're a corpse yourself, aren't you!"

As the skeleton on the left protested vehemently, Little Evening finally managed to see her ID—

[Shadiao Lost Something]

"Pfft..."

What kind of name is that?!

As their guest laughed, the two skeleton soldiers immediately stopped arguing and put on a business-like smile.

Jingluo Nanbei: "Well... allow me to introduce myself, we're running a skeleton dry cleaning service!"

Shadiao Lost Something: "You could think of this as entrepreneurship!!!"
