Chapter 313: Revised - 117 "Room Swap" (9800 words)_6
Aren’t you afraid that the Secret Realm Master can listen in on us?
This guy is really something else!
Is he not thinking straight?
No wonder he’s still an intern assistant!
Chen Yan pulled Chu Keqing out of the room and stood in the corridor.
"Servant!" Chu Keqing called out loudly once more.
As expected, calling the servant from the room didn’t work, but from the corridor, a response came from the ceiling almost immediately, "Guest, what can I do for you?"
Chu Keqing took a deep breath, hesitated, glanced at Chen Yan, and seeing his determined look, reluctantly began to speak.
After Chu Keqing relayed Chen Yan’s special room change request, the servant was silent for a moment before slowly answering.
"According to the rules of this Secret Realm, such actions would be considered as ’breaking up the guest’s original team’ and forming a new team with new companions.
The model is acceptable, and the guest can move into your previous room with the new companion.
But, forming a new team is only allowed once, and since the new companion was originally a solo participant, the rewards would still be calculated for one person.
While re-teaming is acceptable, the rewards will not increase — the new team of two will receive rewards as if for one person.
— Does the guest accept?"
Chu Keqing quickly translated this to Chen Yan’s ear, and Chen Yan, sensing an opportunity, immediately instructed Chu Keqing to ask another question.
"Can the new team consist of three people?"
"Denied! The maximum team size for guests is two." The servant replied mechanically.
Chu Keqing translated the response to Chen Yan.
Alright then, Chen Yan sighed inwardly.
He thought they could exploit a loophole.
If they could form a team of three, he, Chu Keqing, and Ouyang could just team up!
Their combined strength would be greatly enhanced, and the difficulty would significantly reduce too, wouldn’t it?
On the other side of the corridor, the other people who heard the conversation between Chu Keqing and the servant also had their eyes light up at first!
But upon hearing the rule "re-teaming does not increase rewards," their expressions returned to normal.
To them, the rewards were the most important.
"We accept." Chu Keqing answered under Chen Yan’s direction.
The servant did not respond.
Standing at the door, Ouyang also spoke up, "I accept too," and then the servant’s voice came from the ceiling:
"Accepted."
On the other side of the corridor, the man in a black outfit and high hat and the armored military general switched rooms.
The armored military general walked over to the other corridor and entered the room that the man in the black outfit and high hat had stayed in last night.
What surprised Chen Yan the most were Kudai and the long-haired girl with straight black hair.
The two enemies had no one else to swap rooms with...
In the end, they switched with each other!
Though they switched, neither of them would probably tell the other the dangers in their respective rooms.
Even if they told, the other wouldn’t believe it anyway!

Chen Yan immediately returned to Ouyang’s room with Chu Keqing, "The break time is running out, let’s do it this way."
Looking at Chu Keqing, he said in a deep voice, "A monster immune to spell and mana attacks... means you have no offensive power in front of this monster! If you stay in this room with me tonight, it will be extremely dangerous for you!
And a monster immune to mana attacks, even for me, it’s not easy to deal with. If I have to protect you, it will be hard to focus.
Staying in last night’s room is the best solution for you.
In the room last night, you saw all the tricks that the monster had, you have the experience now, so handling it again tonight shouldn’t be very difficult, your survival rate will be much higher!"
Chu Keqing sighed helplessly, "Alright... I understand, insisting on staying by your side will only make things harder for you."
Chu Keqing and Ouyang left the room and went back to the room from last night.
Chen Yan closed the door and stood in the room full of ruins, helplessly looking around.
Quickly, the fifteen-minute break time ended.
The hourglass on the floor slowly floated up, and then the broken table, bed, and shattered bedding and sheets started to spin crazily.
In an instant, everything was restored to its original state!
With a final snap, the hourglass slowly settled on the table.
And from that moment, the sand began to flow again!
Chen Yan looked around at the newly transformed room; even the walls, ceiling, and floor had been restored to their original condition.
There were still nearly six hours left of daylight. It would be safe until dark!
Chen Yan lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and started to plan in his mind.
He already had an idea of how to deal with the monster immune to mana attacks!
Sending away Chu Keqing was indeed partly for her own good — she had experience dealing with the monster in the Illusion Realm, making her better suited for the task.
This much was true.
But another very important reason was... Chen Yan did not want to reveal his secrets in front of Chu Keqing!
