Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!

Chapter 669: Check-in Rules

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Check-in RulesThey planned to stay near the station, but there were no guesthouses nearby, and the shopkeepers were unwilling to give them rooms, so they had to

They hesitated, but Xu Huo had already run out of patience. He put on his protective mask and entered the hotel to get a room.

The other players followed suit. They had originally planned to cram into one room, but the manager suggested meaningfully, "You should each take a separate room, for everyone’s good."

In the end, each person got their own room, three upstairs and three downstairs. Just as they were about to leave, two panic-stricken people rushed out of the stairwell, slapped their room cards on the front desk, and exclaimed, "Check out!"

These two were also players. They hastily glanced at the room cards in Xu Huo’s group’s hands, dropped a word of advice, "We advise you not to stay here," and then left the hotel.

"Early arrival players," Tian Kunwen and others exchanged glances. At that moment, another player came out, leaning against the wall and watching the backs of the two people. He said, "Two idiots, it’s no different anywhere in this county town. The hotel is still the safest place."

After his remark, he smiled at Xu Huo and the others, then turned and went back to his room.

Wei Xian quickly followed a few steps. "Hey, friend, let’s talk!"

The man stopped, "I know what you want to ask, but I only arrived a day earlier, and I’m not clear on the specifics. However, one thing I can be sure of is that staying in a hotel is definitely safer than staying in a guest house. Believe it or not."

Wei Xian took a couple more steps to ask something else, but the man went into his room and shut the door behind him.

"What’s going on here?" Wei Xian returned, wondering, "Is what they said true or not?"

"It should all be true," Tian Kunwen said. "However, it’s based only on their own experiences. But now it seems there’s not much difference between the hotel and the guest houses. You can rest easy staying here."

Their rooms were on the second and third floors, and the hotel had no elevator. As they took the stairs, You Jun said, "Why do players enter the same dungeon at different times? Doesn’t that create an information gap?"

"The difficulty of the dungeon has increased," Yi Pei said, not hurrying her steps. "It’s not just the dungeon itself that’s dangerous; early entrants might also give false information to the players who come later. In a survival dungeon, as long as not everyone sticks together and dies, the early arrivals can trap the later ones to deflect."

"The dungeon boss won’t just kill everyone outright. They have to follow the game’s rules."

"So we don’t know how many players are actually in this county town now," Wei Xian shook his head. "It’s possible that other players might attack us."

It would be best for several people to stay together, looking out for each other.

"Three’s the safest number. How about we mix and match as we please?" Fu Danhong suggested.

"Do whatever you want, I’m staying by myself," Xu Huo spoke up, heading straight for the first room by the staircase.

"Won’t you reconsider?" Wei Xian quickly said, "It’s better to look out for each other when we’re together. That’s the whole point of cooperation."

Xu Huo had already opened the door and paused, "Both guest houses and hotels recommend one person per room, although the reason isn’t clear. But spreading out is about distributing the risk."

"Staying alone could also trigger danger," Yi Pei said.

"Both single and multiple occupancy carry risks," Xu Huo didn’t believe that being in a larger group necessarily meant safety. The scenario clearly stated this city had religious customs. The woman who invited Fu Danhong was tempted by the price You Jun offered but still refused. This could very well be linked to religious traditions, whether it’s true faith or enforced adherence. At least it shows that in this county town, it’s an explicit rule for players to live alone.

The rules of the game aren’t necessarily in the players’ favor, but before judging the pros and cons, one must first consider who set the rules.
