♂?，，

  On the chest of a middle-aged woman on the bed, a faint glow began to appear. The ferocious image of the nightmare mark gradually floated in the air and flew towards Fang Lin's chest before disappearing into his body. At the same time, Fang Lin received a prompt:

  "Because 10307 was killed in real space and its killing value (similar to PK value) is greater than 30, it obtained one-tenth of the highest attribute value. The killing value will increase the drop rate after death, but also can enhance the power of some skills."

  Fang Lin's mouth corners slightly curled up, this was originally within his expectations. In reality, people with Nightmare Imprints who killed each other should be able to inherit all of the opponent's authorities, so it made sense that such strict appearance protection measures would appear in both the Nightmare Space and Nightmare Imprint. He brought out his own attribute panel for a look, and indeed his Agility had increased by a full 3 points!

  He dismantled the small mechanism he had set up, opened the water heater and put some water in it, making it look like carbon monoxide poisoning from taking a bath. As for any other clues that might be revealed, Fang Lin was not afraid at all. After all, the grudges between the two were too bizarre, even if Sherlock Holmes himself were to appear, he would absolutely be unable to infer his motive for murder.

  ……………

  After leaving the Nightmare Space, you must wait seven days to enter again. The time spent in the Nightmare Space cannot exceed thirty hours (time spent in the Nightmare World is not counted). The equipment protection time is seventy-two hours. This means that the golden key dropped by killing Boss Te'wei has not been used yet!

  Fang Lin spent only six days from leaving the Dream Nightmare Space to finding out "Ruan Mingyuan"'s true identity. After taking a plane back to his hometown from ZJ City (note that the two cities are not close at all!!! I also wanted to write a detailed 20-chapter account of Fang's investigation, but I guess you guys aren't too interested in reading Sherlock Holmes-style detective stories?), the remaining dozen or so hours were really tough for him. He was completely cleaned out, even his trusty flame-imbued steel crossbow was destroyed. If he couldn't find something useful in his inheritance, he might not be so lucky next time.

  Even Fang Lin, who was normally calm and composed, couldn't help but feel like years had passed during this long wait. As a result, not only did he appear distracted in class, but even when eating hot pot with old friends, he would often zone out, leading to mistakes such as putting MSG instead of salt, causing the boss lady to rush around and apologize to customers repeatedly, earning Fang Lin a good scolding.

  Finally, the time has come.

  For the first time, Fang Lin felt that the dark staircase leading to the Nightmare World was so familiar. He strode forward in the darkness, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the eerie eyes of the Nightmare Mark on his chest seemed to have become even sharper, and the red light emitted from them had also condensed a bit, illuminating a farther distance.

  He finally stood on the vast square of the dream realm again, still with many people exchanging props there, as bustling as a market. However, Fang Lin was not in the mood to pay attention to these things at this time, and quietly concentrated his mind on the dream mark, and indeed found that he could teleport to one more private space.

  Fang Lin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and at this moment, his mood had calmed down. It was as if he were a boulder in a turbulent river, undisturbed by external things. Whether it was gain or loss, the experience in this dreamlike world still had to be endured.

  "Dangerous Golden Short Sword: Golden equipment, high quality, attack power 6-17. When attacking the opponent, there is a 30% chance to cause an additional 20 points of damage. Requires soul binding before equipping, requires strength 8, agility 17, vitality 8. Requires basic melee 3+ and basic evasion 3+. Can be exchanged for 1100 points."

  "Sturdy Pendant: Blue equipment, medium quality, special effect: protection. Can absorb 500 points of remote attack damage and 50 points of close-range damage. Current energy value is (266/300), after the energy value is depleted, it will recover at a rate of 10 points per minute. Requires strength 3, agility 7, vitality 5."

  "Cunning Long Boots: Dark Gold Equipment, Medium Quality, +2 Strength, +3 Agility, +20% Movement Speed. Requires Soul Binding before equipping. Requires 20 Strength, 22 Agility, Basic Leg Technique 4 and Basic Footwork 8. Remaining Equipment Attributes: Unidentified. Note: After identification, equipment requirements may increase, please proceed with caution."

  "Diken's Crimson Gauntlets (Left): Green equipment, superior quality. Requires soul binding before equipping. Attack 1-4, with a plunder effect that converts 3% of damage dealt to enemies into the wearer's HP. All basic skill levels +1. Requires strength 20, vitality 19, and hand-to-hand combat level 5 or higher. Can be taken out of this world and exchanged for 1500 points. Note: When equipped with a pair of gauntlets, special effects will be displayed."

  That green glove obviously came from other victims of Ruan Mingyuan, and it just so happened to match the one that Fang Lin was extorted out of, giving Fang Lin a huge surprise. (This thing wasn't dropped by Dickson, that little boss, but rather by special monsters in Round Table Warriors, although the drop rate is roughly 1/10 of WoW's tradable purple equipment, which is an extremely low probability drop.)

  Because when leaving the Dream Demon world, except for special props, all equipment obtained from the Dream Demon world will be forcibly removed and placed in a private space. Therefore, as soon as Fang Lin entered this private space, he saw the equipment worn and carried by Ruan Mingyuan himself. With Ruan Mingyuan's death, the soul binding on it had also disappeared, and what Fang Lin fancied was the above four items. The rest of the rubbish either exploded under the True Cut technique or was directly picked up by him for disposal.

  As Fang Lin continued to search the space, he discovered that most of the things that Ruan Mingyuan had taken from him were gone, probably exchanged for points or skill points in the square - these things naturally disappeared with Ruan Mingyuan's death. Only two things were left behind. One was the pair of green gloves, and the other was the B-level skill "Wild Charge" scroll.

  Fang Lin sat down quietly and quickly calculated the gains and losses, realizing that although he had suffered a significant loss, his gain was undoubtedly substantial. However, the boss's dropped key was nowhere to be found after searching the entire room. Fang Lin thought for a long time, recalling Ruan Mingyuan's room layout in the real world, and finally discovered a secret compartment under the floorboard. As he opened it, his heart immediately skipped a beat.

  Apart from the golden key that originally belonged to him, there was actually a strange thin paper inside. As soon as Fang Lin's fingers touched it, the Nightmare Imprint gave a hint:

  "Obtained special item: KOF's contract."
