Chapter 389 Chapter 376: The Unexpected Champion
When he returned to the Continental Hotel, he was still in a fully armed state.
Despite not being vigilant for a moment and getting stabbed in the waist, as long as it wasn\'t a fatal injury, he could recover from the negative status.
Yi endured a few more stabs, seizing the opportunity to kill Platinum Perkins with a single gunshot.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, to his surprise, the female killer\'s corpse did not disappear.
"What does this mean?" Yi was puzzled, "Could it be that there is some key clue or quest item on her body?"
It was a reasonable guess.
So Yi squatted down and began searching the female killer\'s belongings.
Then, just by chance, a killer walked around the corner and saw Yi touching the corpse.
—This was the fixed passage leading to the Continental Hotel\'s underground bar, where killers could come down at any time.
The killer looked at Yi incredulously, "Did you...kill someone in the Continental Hotel?!"
"Huh?" Yi hadn\'t reacted yet, "What\'s wrong with that? I was just defending myself!"
But the killer ignored him and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Soon, many people appeared on both sides of the passage, with hotel staff in uniform standing at the forefront.
Yi was then escorted out of the hotel.
The moment he walked down the hotel steps, at least ten guns were aimed at him!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
Deafening gunshots rang out.
Yi was shot more than sixty times, collapsing dead on the ground!
Then he immediately respawned in the same spot.
—The entrance of the Continental Hotel was the respawn point...
With his resurrection, the quest rolled back to the point before he entered the Continental Hotel.
Through the gates of the Continental Hotel, Yi could see clearly that female killer Platinum Perkins was sitting near the entrance, waiting patiently for him to take the bait.
—Many players have been trapped and killed at this spot.
Seduction was just a minor tactic.
Under the guidance of Cloud Dream, people regarded the Continental Hotel as a "Safe Zone" and let their guard down.
When caught off guard, they were unprepared for an ambush and could easily be killed.
Even if they successfully counter-attacked and didn\'t die, they would fall into the second trap—killing someone in the Continental Hotel was against the rules, and they would be punished.
The protagonist\'s special treatment only meant that he wouldn\'t be killed outright, just driven out of the Continental Hotel.
But the players still had a bounty of 2 million on their heads, so being publicly driven out of the hotel could only end in death!
Only a small number of players who were calm and clear-headed enough could stop at the right moment after defeating the female killer and obtain the next part of the quest clue.
Of course, players who had watched related live streams or read posts and had advance spoilers were exceptions.
But now that the game had just begun, the progress of the first group of players was as fast as the streamers\', and by the time a large number of spoiler warnings appeared online, they had already stepped on all the traps...
They were hardcore players, and they needed to push forward!
So they made a note in their notebooks, planning to settle accounts with Lincoln only after the story was completed.

At 3:30 AM, Izumo.
The progress of director Xichuan, the famous streamer, had reached the maximum of 16 hours.
He knew of a sleep technique that could counteract Cloud Dream\'s anti-addiction system to some extent.
However, the difficulty of that method was too high, and he had both succeeded and failed in his previous attempts.
This time he was worried about overdoing it, so he didn\'t use it, instead maintaining a daily game time limit of 16 hours.
Throughout the game, he kept a straight face, maintaining a high level of tension, focusing on progress, and not daring to slack off for a moment.
Therewards were worth it—at this moment; he was standing in front of the final boss Vigo.
Moreover, in the live broadcast room, 36,000 viewers expected him to clear the quest!
Queenie also stayed up late, waiting here. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
She didn\'t care who got first place, but this was, after all, the first important event in the Izumo player circle since virtual reality games officially entered Izumo. Chizuru felt it was meaningful and worth witnessing in person.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands, Xichuan threw fragmentation hand grenades, shock bombs, homemade Molotov cocktails... everything throwable at Vigo.
—Vigo\'s minions had already been wiped out by him, and now it was finally a one-on-one showdown. He no longer held back, aiming to finish things a bit faster.
Vigo had no choice but to flee his hiding place, shooting and quickly changing positions.
But Xichuan was well prepared and wouldn\'t let him escape.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Standard double shots at the torso and a single shot to the head.
Main villain Vigo—killed!
"Speed Chase" main storyline—concluded!
As expected, music played, and a trophy gradually appeared before Xichuan amidst converging glimmers of light.
The live broadcast room instantly boiled with excitement, with countless gifts and congratulatory comments pouring out like a waterfall, too fast to read clearly.
Xichuan couldn\'t keep up his "cold-faced expert" facade any longer and couldn\'t help but break into an idiotic grin.
When the light in front of him dissipated and the trophy materialized before him, Xichuan eagerly picked it up to show the audience in the live broadcast room.
