Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead

Advancing through reincarnation wasn’t just about gaining new abilities.

After merging with the Shadow Sovereign, Bai Lian felt his power surge exponentially!

Now, killing a bull with a single punch felt trivial.

To put it simply:

One finger could handle Jian Ran.

No need for two.

“No wonder players clear dungeons faster after reincarnation. The gap between tiers is this vast!”

As raw power flooded his veins, Bai Lian couldn’t help but swell with pride.

With this strength, he could likely obliterate any Anomaly in the dungeon. One strike—total annihilation.

“I wonder what tier this unique class is? SSS? Divine? And what about other reincarnated players—how much stronger did they become?”

Bai Lian mused.

【What just happened? Why did the dungeon end early?】

【SSS rating—that’s what matters! Bai Shen got another SSS! Wait… didn’t he just lounge around? How’d he max the rating?】

【Confused… someone explain!】

【Ah, I know but can’t explain. Bai Shen only did one task. How’s that an SSS?】

【Whatever. What’s this dungeon mutation? Never seen this before.】

【Regardless, Bai Shen’s in danger now. Mutated dungeons are unpredictable—difficulty spikes guaranteed.】

Even seasoned stream viewers were blindsided.

This was unprecedented in the Mysterious World.

Unknown meant deadly.

Players would need pure wit and power to survive without prepared strategies.

Meanwhile, other players reeled from the sudden shift:

“What’s happening? Why’s the dungeon mutating? This was a Class Change Dungeon!”

“Damn, I didn’t finish a single task! Stuck with a lousy B-tier class!”

“Lucky I did a few tasks—scored a B rating, A-tier class.”

“A-tier? I was aiming for S! My sanity’s crumbling!”

“What’s ‘Crimson Night’? Never heard of it. Shouldn’t we get ejected before a dungeon shifts? How’s this possible?!”

Players who’d procrastinated panicked.

Class Change Dungeons typically lasted five days minimum.

Most used Day 1 to study rules, planning to grind tasks later.

But who knew the dungeon would collapse on Day 1?

And now they’d been tossed into an uncharted nightmare!

Smart players already formed alliances—safety in numbers.

Meanwhile, Bai Lian checked his phone after claiming his rewards.

Xiao Qing’s unread messages glared at him:

“Dr. Bai, I’m home~ Liked the pics I sent? (blush)”

“Dr. Bai, Father says the President staged a coup. Where are you?”

“Father told me to flee with Mom, but I want to find you.”

A corporate coup?

Bai Lian’s eyebrow arched. The dungeon mutation likely tied to this.

Even here, boardroom dramas unfolded.

Luck or curse?

No matter—time to investigate.

He replied: “Your location?”

Instant response: “Father forced me out. I’ve left the company.”

Bai Lian scoffed.

Ran away fast!

And she’d promised to stand by him.

Typical corporate snake.

As for Xiao Changhe, the old fox—Bai Lian had never trusted him anyway.

“One question: What was your friend’s name? The one your father killed.”

“Mo Ers. Why?”

Mo Ers.

The name flickered in Bai Lian’s mind.

This wasn’t a background detail—it was key.

The mutated dungeon’s secret lay here.

“Why’d your father kill him?”

“He kept asking about the Corporate Data Vault. Father found out… and eliminated him.”

Corporate Data Vault?

Secrets worth killing for.

And likely tied to the President’s coup!

“Do you know its location?”

“Room 1220, 12th floor. But it’s always locked—needs a special key.”

“Dr. Bai, what did you discover?”

Xiao Qing sensed his probing.

“Nothing major. Stay safe—don’t return yet. I’ll see you… when your psyche’s fully healed.” Bai Lian replied earnestly.

“Then be careful, Dr. Bai!”

Tucking his phone away, Bai Lian strode toward the corporate building.

【Wait—did Bai Shen foresee the mutation and groom that NPC for intel?】

【Genius! He turned flirting into strategy!】

【I thought he was just horny, but every move had purpose!】

【This proves legends play 4D chess. Even flirting’s a tactical move!】

【When will we reach Bai Shen’s level?】

Netizens marveled at his foresight.

“Achoo!”

Mid-stride, Bai Lian sneezed, rubbing his nose.

“Odd… sudden chill?”

Maybe too many encounters with long-haired specters?

Unnerving, indeed.

【Skill Extraction Complete!】

A notification blared in his mind.
