Chapter 348: Testing on Behalf
Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Testing on BehalfActually, for the other players, whether they could enter or leave the ancient castle didn’t matter, because they needed to clear the instance here. Whether they could get a Return Ticket was not important; tickets, props, and potions were indispensable.
Under normal circumstances, once the instance began, it would also become spatially isolated from the exterior, only reopening after the instance ended.
But this caused the Ma Family Couple to frown; Mrs. Ma even deliberately picked a fight with the servants at breakfast.
Xu Huo remained calm. This couple was simply anxious because they initially thought they were invited to eat for free, but on arrival, they discovered they might become the meal instead, and were also trapped here with no way out, which was why they were angrily picking fights.
However, the servants in the castle seemed to have bad tempers, and the couple was quite wary of them, daring only to be verbally offensive.
The other players seemed to have some disagreements too. After breakfast, they split up in groups and went to different areas of the castle—they had already
"Like I said, as long as I clear the game, that’s fine," Li Chao said, "We cooperate, and if you’re not a task player, we can just split the Tickets and items. Isn’t that more convenient than killing?"
Flay mentioned two game tasks to prove that he was indeed a task player.

But Mr. Ma scoffed, "I was almost fooled by that kid’s obscure talk. He just wants to monopolize the benefits. How long have you been in the game? When have you ever seen the boss of an instance be the good guy? Not to mention deliberately setting a trap for the Red Players."
"That’s true," Mrs. Ma thought about it, "Then who snuck into his room last night?"
"Who knows, might well be another player," Mr. Ma clearly did not want to concern himself too much with it.
"Do you think he’s the player from this instance?" Mrs. Ma suddenly speculated, "That’s why he’s suggesting the castle has issues, to make us suspect He Pu and the butler? But how did he know about the invitation?"
"Why worry so much? The one who killed Fang Min must be someone in the castle; we might still get a share if we go now," Mr. Ma urged.
Mr. Dong, holding a clean cup, silently watched from behind the study door. Through the narrow gap, he watched the Ma Family Couple disappear at the staircase before pulling the door open and stepping out.
