Ye Chuan hadn't expected to encounter robbers so soon, especially on the second day. 

Even in a survival situation, it seemed a bit early for people to resort to robbery.

Of course, it was also possible that these people were already criminals in the real world and were simply continuing their "profession" here.

Ye Chuan asked them, "We haven't even started searching for supplies yet. Shouldn't we be helping each other? What if there's danger tonight?"

"What do we care if you die?"

"Yeah, are you stupid? Helping each other? Hahahaha."

"He's definitely an idiot, that's why no team wants him."

They grinned, as if they had heard a joke. After the small groups were formed, anyone acting alone was just prey.

After all, strength in numbers was the rule of survival.

Since Ye Chuan claimed they had no supplies, they threatened him. "Take us to your dorm! We're going to search you!"

Their gazes fell on Tian Xiaotian, their eyes filled with lecherous intent, seeing her petite and cute appearance.

The other people passing by looked on with indifference. After all, in this situation, it was hard enough to protect themselves, let alone get involved in other people's problems.

"You have a point, what does it matter if we die anyway?" Ye Chuan said, his previously smiling expression turning cold, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"That's right, little sister, are you hiding any supplies? Let big brother see~" One of them reached out towards Tian Xiaotian, making her face pale with fear.

But in the next second, the man was sent flying by Ye Chuan's kick!

Ye Chuan ignored the man groaning on the floor and looked at the other stunned men.

"Damn it, this brat dares to resist!"

"You're looking for death! I'll show you what the Tony Leung of A City can do!" (TL: A famous actor, implying he's handsome and skilled.)

…

"Brother, I-I was wrong! Please, stop!" Less than half a minute later, the men were kneeling on the ground, their faces bruised and swollen.

"Tony Leung of A City? You look more like a Pig of A City," Ye Chuan said, breaking their arms and legs, then walked towards the car.

Tian Xiaotian, seeing their sorry state, stuck her tongue out at them. "Serves you right, messing with my boss!"

She even spun around happily.

"Let's go," Ye Chuan said to Tian Xiaotian.

"Okay."

Ye Chuan had only broken their limbs; they would probably survive until nightfall, when the ghosts would come for them.

Why did he do this?

Because he was kind.

He felt that the ghosts' methods were more brutal, so this was their just desserts. 

He didn't think any team would take them in with broken limbs.

As Ye Chuan and Tian Xiaotian walked around, he noticed fights breaking out in the corridors over resources, people lying on the ground, bleeding and groaning.

"Nothing interesting here anymore," Ye Chuan said, turning back and returning to his dormitory.

At his door, he noticed a few people watching him. Seeing him return, they quickly scurried back to their rooms.

Ye Chuan didn't mind and entered his dormitory.

He wasn't afraid of them trying anything funny. After all, he was far stronger than them; their schemes were useless against absolute power.

"Sit," Ye Chuan said, sitting on the edge of his bed and patting the space beside him, seeing Tian Xiaotian standing there. 

"Why are you standing there like an idiot? There's a seat."

"O-okay, Boss," Tian Xiaotian immediately sat down.

Seeing Ye Chuan playing on his phone, she asked curiously, "Boss, why are you so strong?"

"One gold bar, and I'll tell you."

"I don't have any more…"

"Then sit quietly."

"Ooh," Tian Xiaotian whimpered like a small animal.

But she also found that Ye Chuan was easy to get along with. By the afternoon, she was lying on the bed, browsing the chat group.

"Boss, it seems the daytime is only six hours long."

"I know," Ye Chuan said, glancing at the clock on the wall, noticing how quickly the hands were moving.

This meant they had limited time to gather supplies and survive.

But Ye Chuan didn't care.

Those people were afraid of ghosts.

And ghosts were afraid of him.

Soon, night fell, and the surroundings instantly darkened—

[Hee hee hee, try to survive. The ghosts on the second night are much stronger.]

[By the way, weapons that can be used against ghosts will randomly spawn in the corridors. Use them wisely.]

A voice echoed from the loudspeakers.

Eerie sounds came from the corridor outside, the howling of wind, the wailing of female ghosts, the cries of babies.

"B-boss… I'm scared," Tian Xiaotian said, trembling, but then she saw Ye Chuan stand up abruptly.

"Whoa, it's finally time! Time to harvest some spirit essence! Awesome!"

Tian Xiaotian: "?"

Boss, that's not right, why do you seem so excited?

"Boss, what about me?" Tian Xiaotian asked, seeing Ye Chuan about to leave. "Take me with you."

"You stay here, I don't want you to get hurt," Ye Chuan said casually.

"Huh?"

"It's fine, I have a way to protect you," Ye Chuan snapped his fingers, and black mist swirled, forming a giant blood wolf demon. 

Its crimson eyes looked at the petrified Tian Xiaotian.

"Ah?!!!" Tian Xiaotian fainted.

"Doggy, stay here and protect her, I'm going out to grind some experience," Ye Chuan said. (TL: A gaming term)

The wolf demon said in a deep voice, "Yes, Master."

Ye Chuan opened the dormitory door and stepped out, immediately feeling the chill in the corridor.

It was pitch black outside, with a few white figures flickering in the darkness.

As if sensing something, Ye Chuan turned around—

A female ghost in white was floating beside him, its pale face grinning eerily. "Hee hee hee… Big brother, am I beautiful?"

But the ghost saw that Ye Chuan's expression remained unchanged, even a hint of amusement on his lips.

"Beautiful," Ye Chuan said, punching the ghost, shattering it into a single spirit essence.

"Drop-dead gorgeous."

The corridor immediately became restless, as if drawn by Ye Chuan's actions, and more white-clad ghosts flew towards him.

"Don't be so eager," he said.

Ye Chuan summoned his Thunder Peachwood Sword and slashed, the spiritual energy erupting, clearing the entire corridor like a lawnmower.

"Not bad, next floor," Ye Chuan said, collecting the spirit essences.
