Players, Please Board the Train

【You have entered ”Seventeenth Hospital”. You are automatically participating in this E-rank Random Dungeon.】

【Background Introduction: This was once a world-renowned mental health sanatorium. The hospital cured hundreds of psychiatric patients with its unique set of targeted psychological therapy methods, including many who later became famous figures shining brightly in the art world. Every person who walked out of the Seventeenth Hospital praised it highly, considering it the most perfect hospital in the world.】

【However, after the passing of Dr. Finland who founded it, the legendary psychological therapy methods disappeared, and this hospital gradually declined into a second-rate institution. But upholding Dr. Finland’s virtue of healing the sick and saving lives, the Seventeenth Hospital would freely take in some patients without family or friends, providing them with treatment. The only downside is that most of the treatment facilities here are quite outdated.】

【But this isn’t really a problem, because for those patients who have lost the ability to care for themselves, the hospital isn’t a bad place to stay. Perhaps due to the special nature of the hospital’s founding, patients would occasionally cure themselves and leave, claiming they had seen Dr. Finland and, under his guidance, glimpsed into their own hearts. The outside world investigated but found no answers, could only call it a medical miracle.】

【Today, another batch of patients has been sent to the hospital.】

【Dungeon Tasks: ① Receive at least one psychological therapy session. Daily consultations are from 8 AM to 12 PM.】

【② Kill one doctor.】

【③ Find the hospital’s main gate.】

【Players can leave the dungeon upon completing any one task.】

【Please note, the hospital does not welcome patients with overly rich imaginations.】After Xu Huo received the notification that his dungeon authorization review had passed, the vessel was covered by a building that descended from the sky.

Because the battle between Bai Kou and the two members of the Phantom Sound Knights had intensified, the eighth floor where Captain Matt and the others were located soon couldn’t hold up either. But before they could evacuate, the building crushed the upper floors, passed through the central main shaft, and directly landed on the expanded fourth and fifth floors below.

This dungeon building’s area was much larger than the vessel. Under normal circumstances, the vessel wouldn’t be able to support it. Coincidentally, the sea area was floating with countless giant octopus corpses. They bore part of the weight, and together with the spread-open vessel, they steadily supported the dungeon building.

Of course, most of the vessel was pressed into the seawater. But because this was an item, and the most important central main shaft position wasn’t destroyed, it didn’t sink.

Matt and the others were forced down to the fifth floor. Like the other players on the ship, they simultaneously received the notification about entering the Random Dungeon.

”An E-rank dungeon?” Ran Ying slightly raised an eyebrow. ”The game hasn’t intervened in this sea area, and we get hit with an E-rank dungeon right away?”

”Just an E-rank dungeon.” Hugo and the Tattooed Burly Man Whale arrived beside these people. The former waved his hand and took out a cannon mount a full five meters tall. ”One shot can blast it away!”

The game has clear rules that high-rank players entering low-rank dungeons and destroying them will be punished. But for Random Dungeons, this line becomes more flexible.

Unlike fixed dungeons at stations, the holders of Random Dungeons often aren’t clearly good or evil. Some are even opened specifically to slaughter players. The game turns a blind eye to this. So even if the dungeon is destroyed, the game won’t interfere much. And if the nature of this dungeon is classified as illegal criminal activity, the players who destroy it might even receive rewards.

Hugo’s situation was different again. He was already a wanted criminal. With so many lice, he wasn’t afraid of the itch. What was destroying one low-rank dungeon to him?

The cannon mount he took out was precisely one of the transaction items with the Rongxin Group this time. He patted the cannon body and said to Vicen Meni, ”Perfect timing to test the power of this new type of energy cannon.”

Vicen Meni and the others naturally had no objections. Matt even said very politely, ”Then we’ll trouble Mr. Hugo.”

However, an awkward thing happened. Hugo activated the cannon mount, but the energy concentration device showed no reaction whatsoever.

”It’s not broken, is it?” the Freckled Noble teased.

Hugo looked gloomily at Bai Kou who had landed ahead. ”You have an S-rank Spacetime Item.”

This new type of energy cannon’s real name was the Space Decomposition Ray Tower. Its true function wasn’t to cause massive explosions, but to concentrate rays to destroy spatial barriers, achieving the effect of destroying space. It could be used to destroy dungeons and some Spacetime Items.

Those who break the rules must be rule-followers. The Space Decomposition Ray Tower was similarly affected by Spacetime Items. Like other lower-rank Spacetime Items, if a higher-rank Spacetime Item was present in the same location, it would be affected.

In response to Hugo’s question, Bai Kou didn’t deny it. She sneered, ”What’s wrong? The stuff you stole isn’t working well?”

”You’re a tracker from Platinum Eye, aren’t you?” Hugo clapped his hands together. Countless syringes flew out from the now hospital-transformed environment, shooting toward Bai Kou from all directions!

Bai Kou waved a single hand. A large number of syringes fell. Simultaneously, she lightly tapped her foot. Though she still stood in her original position, the distance between the two sides suddenly widened. To the naked eye, it was as if the floor had grown, having a similar effect to Captain Matt’s item.

But whether items or dungeon locations, they don’t just grow out of thin air. Therefore, Captain Matt said, ”Everyone, be careful. This is a mental-type Random Dungeon.”

Among those present, Ahsis Vilner, the Curly-haired Noble Cag Hellert, the noble Female Player Mona Doug, and the Tattooed Burly Man Whale were A-rank players. Hugo, Matt, Ran Ying, the Freckled Noble Lynn Oz, and three other nobles were B-rank players. The remaining players’ levels varied, but almost no one thought an E-rank dungeon posed any difficulty.

”Mental-type dungeons are different from ordinary Random Dungeons,” Ahsis said. ”Usually, the strength of such dungeons isn’t determined by the dungeon’s own rank, but by the holder’s mental strength. The stronger the holder’s mental strength, the more difficult the dungeon becomes. It’s no longer simply an E-rank dungeon.”

He had previously judged Bai Kou to be an A-rank player. How could she bring out an E-rank dungeon just for fun? She must have undergone Super Evolution in mental aspects herself, hence using a low-rank dungeon as support.

”Can’t we just blast through this place directly?” Vicen Meni frowned. ”The dungeon area has limited size. Forcibly breaking through should allow us to get out.”

The current problem wasn’t just being temporarily trapped. The dungeon’s descent meant this sea area was pulled into the game. Players within the dungeon could use train tickets to leave after completing game tasks. But there were still so many White Wristband wearers alive on the ship.

”Let’s try.” Ahsis’s Spacetime Item also couldn’t be used. But he materialized a metal cube the size of a human head and threw it forward. ”Forcibly strike!”
