Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

As expected, the door Lin Chen pushed open was the one called "King's Palace Door".

It seemed that the masked man had no intention of going out from the beginning. He pushed open the bronze door without any hesitation. Before people could say anything, Lin Chen stepped directly inside.

The people behind him looked at each other, and many of them began to hesitate.

“This person just went in like that?”

"What should we do?" someone asked softly, "Should we go in too?"

After saying this, Feng Chen and Elena also entered the door one after another.

"How about... let's go in and take a look?" someone agreed.

Soon after, the half-orc Monka and the druid named Zhang followed closely behind.

Seeing more and more people entering, other players began to bravely approach this small door.

When they approached the door, they only felt a cold breath coming from inside the door, and indescribable strange emotions suddenly surged from the depths of their hearts to their brains.

The player who had one foot on the edge of the door even wanted to pull his foot back at this time.

However, other players behind him had already gathered around and accidentally pushed him in again.

……

On the other side of the door was an endless corridor with no end in sight.

It seemed to plunge headfirst into the abyss of time, winding and twisting with no end in sight. The corridor was astonishingly wide, wide enough for a dozen people to walk side by side, yet it still seemed vast and boundless. The floor beneath my feet was marble, covered with a vibrant red carpet, each slab polished to a mirror-smooth finish, reflecting a faint light.

As more and more players walked in, although they did not speak or talk to each other, the sound of them walking in the corridor was enough to echo around.

"where is this place?"

People swallowed and looked around.

The ceiling overhead, carved with indistinct patterns, was supported by countless stout pillars, seemingly guarding this mysterious space and every secret of the corridor. Their surfaces were intricately carved with beams and painted columns, and all sorts of bizarre patterns and totems appeared on them, seemingly telling a story.

"It seems..." someone replied softly, "It seems to be in some Western palace."

People walked forward aimlessly, and suddenly flames lit up.

People were suddenly startled, and only then did they realize that a brazier was hung on the top of each stone pillar. These braziers were burning with eternal flames, emitting a soft and bright light, illuminating the entire corridor.

Whenever someone passes by a stone pillar, the next brazier will instantly light up, as if some mysterious power is controlling them. These braziers are like induction lights, silently guiding the way ahead.

The entire corridor exudes a mysterious and solemn atmosphere, making people hold their breath involuntarily, for fear of breaking the silence.

“What a classic corridor…”

Feng Chen looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

Not only him, even Lin Chen, who was walking in the front, was looking around unconsciously at this moment.

Yes, he had never seen such a scene before, and it was also the first time he walked on a corridor like this.

In my previous life, I was a level 80 Berserker, had experienced countless dungeons, and seen many [Ruins], but this place...

He had never even listened.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, people seemed to see something in front of them that was emitting a faint light.

Seeing the light, they gradually quickened their pace.

A few minutes later, everyone stopped at the entrance of another door.

There was another bronze door, but this one was even bigger, bigger and more magnificent than the [Exit] door that had just appeared in the open space.

It stood alone in front of all the players, with strange statues standing on both sides.

"I kind of regret coming in..."

"The other side of this door...could it be the final boss of the dungeon?"

"That can't be right. We're already in such a miserable state. The dungeon even has an exit. There shouldn't be a boss waiting for us..."

"Damn it, looking at the way he looks now, there's no telling what's going on!"

The door in front of them was ajar. No one knew what lay inside. Would it be another endless corridor? Or was there a gigantic monster, the Boss, waiting for them?

"How about we discuss this? Is anyone ready to push the door open? Should we raise our watches..."

But before the man could finish his words, Lin Chen used both hands to forcefully push open the heavy door.

"Rumble..."

The sounds of gears and mechanisms running, along with the sound of chains moving, rang in every player's ears. It was too late for them to quit at this point, and they immediately stared at the front.

But the boss that people expected did not appear. Instead, there was a hall behind the door.

A palace hall with an atmosphere between ancient Chinese and classical Western styles. There are more than ten levels of steps in front of the hall, and on top of the steps there is a luxurious throne.

only……

"Strange, why is this throne facing away from the main hall?"

Yes, when people entered the hall one by one, they clearly discovered that the throne in front of them was facing away from them.

This hall was even more luxurious, with load-bearing columns even larger than those in the corridors. Over forty people were present, gathered in the center of the hall. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with no movement except for the players' whispered discussions.

More than a minute passed like this.

A person strangely appeared right in front of everyone.

He seemed to have been standing there for a long time, as if he was the first to appear.

When people saw this "person", even Lin Chen unconsciously took half a step back.

"It's... it's the triangle-headed monster!" someone exclaimed.

This monster with a triangular head stood silently in front of the hall, only a few steps away from everyone.

Most of the people present began to draw their weapons, ready to unleash their skills at any time.

However, there was no health bar above the monster's head from beginning to end.

If the health bar is exposed, no matter how powerful the boss is, it can at least be killed. However, from the time he appeared in the square until now, his health bar has not been exposed even once.

"Could it be that he's not the boss?" Feng Chen murmured, "but an NPC?"

When Lin Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

Yes, what if this triangle-headed monster... is not the monster or boss they need to defeat, but an NPC?

If He is an NPC, what will He do next?

Just as Lin Chen was thinking, the throne in front of the crowd, with its back to everyone, was slowly turning around.
