Don't pretend, everyone knows you're the villain!

"What about the third floor and above?"

0561: "You need to clear the previous level at least once to enter the next level. If one person clears all seven levels, everyone can be unlocked."

Xi Mingzhu thought that if he collected enough items, he could try going to the second floor and maybe even join the main character's team to help them catch up.

The sooner it ends, the sooner you ascend to heaven.

"How's the main character's progress?"

0561 seemed a little embarrassed, "In the early stages... everyone is accumulating items on the first and second floors, and no one dares to rush up to the third floor yet."

Xi Mingzhu also knew that this matter could not be rushed. As long as Shen Yi was kept alive, it would take at most three years, which was something they could afford to wait for.

Just then, Lu Tiannan rolled over and put his hand on Xi Mingzhu's waist.

Xi Mingzhu's forehead twitched, but he didn't bother arguing with someone who was asleep.

If we can't win for now, we should prioritize reason.

After pushing Lu Tiannan's hand back, Xi Mingzhu turned over and faced away from Lu Tiannan. Later, she smelled a fragrance and fell into a drowsy sleep.

0561 is connected to Xi Mingzhu's consciousness. When Xi Mingzhu sleeps, it will return to the space to hibernate and come out again when Xi Mingzhu needs it.

So none of them noticed that Lu Tiannan went out in the middle of the night and didn't come back to sleep until three or four in the morning.

Before going to sleep, she placed her hand on Shen Yi's waist and smiled happily.

Brother Shen Yi, you have a secret.

The next morning, Xi Mingzhu woke up to find herself being held in Lu Tiannan's arms and pinned down by his legs, as if she were entangled by an octopus.

0561 also peeked out from the space, covering its eyes while secretly watching. What was its host doing with the villain while it was resting in the space...?

So intimate, oh my!

Xi Mingzhu was furious and kicked him backward without any mercy.

Lu Tiannan was still half asleep when he was kicked, but he didn't let go. However, he was indeed woken up by the kick and didn't run away.

Before Xi Mingzhu could even get angry at him, he saw Lu Tiannan pin him to the bed. Lu Tiannan was supporting himself on his shoulders, grinning at him.

Good morning, brother.

Xi Mingzhu said coldly, "Get out of the way."

Lu Tiannan blinked, not bothered at all, and rolled back to lie flat.

After getting out of bed, Xi Mingzhu looked down at Lu Tiannan, who was lying flat on the bed with his eyes open, and said, "If you don't behave in your sleep, I don't mind tying you up."

"Is brother angry? I washed it very clean, it's not dirty." Lu Tiannan's tone carried a hint of grievance.

Xi Mingzhu ignored him and casually took out a set of loose clothes from the closet to go to the bathroom to change.

Lu Tiannan also slowly got off the bed.

As a result, just as Shen Yi got her hands on the clothes, Lu Tiannan spread his arms and blocked her way.

Xi Mingzhu looked up in confusion, "?"

"Brother, I don't recommend you dress like this for dungeons."

Xi Mingzhu waited patiently for Lu Tiannan to continue.

"If your clothes are too loose, there's a risk of them getting caught on something, and... it's dangerous if something crawls into your clothes, brother."

Xi Mingzhu stared thoughtfully at the clothes in his hand. Indeed, when he saw Shen Yi and their teammates yesterday, they were either wearing clothes that fit perfectly, or tight-fitting clothes with elastic.

However, there were exceptions. Lu Tiannan dressed very casually, although his clothes were covered with cobwebs and dust.

Xi Mingzhu asked 0561, "What clothes was he wearing yesterday?"

0561 carefully recalled yesterday, "A windbreaker and casual pants, host. With your looks, you would definitely look handsome in them!"

Xi Mingzhu understood and kindly reminded Lu Tiannan that his words were not convincing.

"Have you forgotten what you wore yesterday?"

“Brother, I have you to protect me, so I can just be a pretty face. How can I please you if I don’t dress up nicely?” Lu Tiannan said matter-of-factly.

Xi Mingzhu's eyes twitched; this guy really liked to act.

Xi Mingzhu put the clothes back in the closet, looking on with a humble expression, asking, "What do you think I should wear?"

Lu Tiannan carefully picked through the wardrobe. Although he didn't completely agree with the outfit suggestions he had just given, he had achieved his goal of helping Shen Yi choose clothes.

Xi Mingzhu didn't think the clothes would have much of an impact, nor did he believe that Lu Tiannan intended to kill him through the clothes.

So after taking her clothes into the bathroom to change, she looked at 0561 with a questioning gaze: "Are all villains like this?"

0561 indicates that Lu Tiannan is a special case.

The original work didn't portray him like this; he was just a cunning and wicked villain who pretended to be weak to actually harm others.

He usually likes to play the victim and watch his teammates die in various creative ways in dungeons without offering any help.

Later, when they met Gu Junbai and Zhai Mingxu, they still wanted to witness their teammate's death.

However, Lu Tiannan miscalculated and ran into a brick wall.

These two protagonists with cheat-like abilities are very difficult to kill.

So Lu Tiannan mingled with the two main characters' teams, causing trouble and adding difficulty from time to time, and even almost killing the main characters several times.

In short, no matter how powerful the villain was, he couldn't kill the protagonist in the end. Instead, he was outmaneuvered and killed by the protagonist on the seventh floor.

He had been listening to 0561 rambling on about the plot without paying much attention, until he heard that Lu Tiannan died on the seventh floor, at which point Xi Mingzhu fell silent.

"Lu Tiannan will die too?"

So the villains just have a nicer title; their fate is the same as that of cannon fodder supporting characters.

According to 0561, Lu Tiannan simply enjoys standing by and watching people die, and the only people he intentionally wanted to harm were the two main characters. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and ended up getting himself caught up in the crossfire.

For a moment, it was hard to tell whether to say that this person was too playful or that he deserved what he got.

As Xi Mingzhu was deep in thought, Lu Tiannan knocked on the bathroom door, "Brother, I need to use the toilet."

"..." Who cares how he plays? Even if Lu Tiannan plays himself to death, it has nothing to do with his identity as Shen Yi.

It's best not to bother each other; we're two people who are completely unrelated anyway.

Thinking this, Xi Mingzhu turned the doorknob and opened the door. Lu Tiannan was very satisfied with Shen Yi's outfit.

Sure enough, his judgment was right. Shen Yi really suits cool-toned clothes; they look clean and refreshing.

Her slender waist was well hidden by her clothes, and only he could appreciate its allure.

It's so pleasing to be the only one sober while everyone else is drunk.

Xi Mingzhu felt Lu Tiannan's gaze become hot and pleasured, as if he were scrutinizing her like a predator eyeing its prey.

Xi Mingzhu asked coldly, "Not in a hurry?"

"I'm so anxious, I can't hold it in anymore. My brother is so handsome, so eye-catching." After saying that, Lu Tiannan went into the bathroom.

0561: Something seems off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Do villains have a preference for dressing people up? 0561 is completely baffled.

Xi Mingzhu was quite satisfied with the clothes. After all, these clothes were much more convenient to wear than the bulky robes that always cumbersome and restricted movement.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lu Tiannan's aesthetic sense was quite compatible with his own, and he also liked the clothes the other person had chosen.

After Lu Tiannan finished washing up, he looked at Shen Yi with bright eyes and asked, "Brother, are we going out to play today?"

Seeing Xi Mingzhu's confusion, 0561 quickly explained, "This place is like a large hotel, with seven floors in total. The room sizes and infrastructure on each floor are different. Other entertainment facilities are also distributed in the public spaces on each floor, but they require additional expenses, and basically no one goes there to play."

After all, it's a life-threatening dungeon; playing on the entertainment facilities will require entering the dungeon twice more.

For most people, it's unnecessary and not worthwhile at all.
