Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 775: Privileges and Obligations

This was a problem some players faced, so the longer time went on, the more people would start to lose their judgment.

Xu Huo had no doubts whether Liang Chong had left anything out in his explanation, as what he said matched up with Feng Guang’s actions the night before, and the game’s requirements were so simple that there wasn’t much one could hide.

The current situation was simply a matter of who would be lucky enough to be randomly chosen as the Temporary Host.

However, he told the other players, "Since two people have failed to clear the level consecutively, everyone here is clear about the common rules, so it must be some detail that caused the issues. Whoever’s turn it is tonight should go find Feng Guang. The Temporary Host can open the room door at night, so you can discuss and compare notes. But here’s a word of advice—for the best, try not to fight amongst ourselves."

Everyone looked at each other, all expressing their willingness to band together—after all, the man in the raincoat obviously couldn’t care less about anyone else’s life or death, and if these weaker players didn’t stick together, they were as good as dead.

After going downstairs, Xu Huo went back down to the first floor to check again.

The furniture that was damaged yesterday and the contaminated carpet had all been cleaned up by Feng Guang and placed in specially designated garbage bins, but obviously, those two bins couldn’t fit several dead bodies.

He had checked the rooms on the third floor, and because the rules were unclear, most players didn’t dare to damage the furniture randomly, so there was no mess to clean up.

He then knocked on the remaining rooms on the second floor, inviting them to come down for a meal, and he also took the opportunity to glance inside their rooms. Aside from the two male players’ rooms, there was no damage in the other rooms either.

"Would he really be so kind as to invite us to eat without an ulterior motive? Could it be poisoned?" the two whispered among themselves.

By the time everyone had gathered on the first floor, Lu Zhen had already arranged the food Xu Huo had brought out. It was just some dry food and water, but it showed sincerity, and besides, some people were hungry.

"In order to clear the level, I suggest that no one tries to harm others," Xu Huo said. "The instance doesn’t forcibly require players to kill, so based on the apparent rules, everyone should be able to clear it."

"Two nights have passed, one with a death and one without, and no one has cleared the level on either day. How can you be sure that not killing will lead to clearance?" the man in the raincoat retorted, sweeping his gaze over everyone, "What’s more, the two who didn’t clear haven’t been willing to reveal the truth."

"The actual rule of this instance is to separate the players. The Temporary Host and the guests seem to be adversaries, and the guests are at an absolute disadvantage, but once the Temporary Host enters a guest’s room, it’s not certain who will live and who will die. Non-interference is beneficial for everyone."

"Of course, this is just my personal suggestion. Whether you choose to comply is up to you all."

"You’re taking such a high stance, yet you can still consider our will?" the baby-faced girl said mockingly. "Dare we disagree, and perhaps you’ll be the first to kill."

"That’s right," Xu Huo looked at her coldly. "You didn’t ask for anyone’s will when you killed someone, I operate on the same principle. So you’d better keep your mouth shut and follow along, otherwise, I might have to help you out."

The baby-faced girl clenched her teeth, but the impact of having her props destroyed was too much for her. After holding his gaze for two seconds, she unwillingly averted her eyes.

The man in the raincoat and his two companions didn’t respond either, just looking a bit uglier.

The living room fell silent.

Xu Huo was pleased with this, surveying each person in turn, he said, "I’ve put my word out here. It would be in your best interest not to interfere with my clearance."

Moments later, the man in the raincoat stood up. "We’ll do as you say, as long as no one starts trouble, I won’t lift a finger."

After saying this, he walked away with his people, and of course, didn’t take any food from the table.

Red-Haired asked, "Brother Xu, why don’t you ask them who the Temporary Host is today? If it’s not one of us, it must be one of them."

"That’s enough," Xu Huo replied. "If you need food, go ahead and take some, but eat sparingly."

"Thank you, Brother Xu!" Red-Haired expressed his thanks without any mental burden.

Lu Zhen also received a share and cautiously followed Xu Huo back to the room, reverting to walking close to the walls.

At that moment, Xu Huo spoke up, "That Dong Qiu, do you know him?"

"Not really. We just happened to be on the same path after entering the instance. I’ve seen him once before in another place, but he probably doesn’t remember," said Lu Zhen. "Of the few people who came with me, he’s the only one left."

There was another one who had been killed by Babyface and his group.

"Does he have any problems?" Lu Zhen asked, puzzled.

"It’s best if he doesn’t," Xu Huo paused for a moment. "I hope he’s not today’s Temporary Host."

Lu Zhen’s face changed, and she instantly understood his implication, but she didn’t immediately go out to confront Dong Qiu. With a touch of discouragement, she said, "Wouldn’t it be nice if we all cooperated to clear the game?"

In this instance, only one player could clear at a time, leaving no opportunity for players to cooperate.

Soon night fell, and fortunately, this time the player emerged from the right side. Judging by the footsteps, it seemed to be a man in a raincoat. He visited the room with the corpse and after moving back and forth stopped next to Xu Huo’s room, knocking on Red-Haired’s door.

As guests, players couldn’t open the room doors themselves, so after politely knocking twice, the door was opened.

No sounds of struggle were heard. Moments later, footsteps emerged from the room and approached Xu Huo’s door, but the knock came from the door opposite.

The door was half-open when it abruptly stopped, followed by the sound of a heavy object striking something, along with the clashing of weapons and the cracking of furniture. It lasted for more than ten seconds; the melee paused, props were employed, and faintly, the smell of something burning wafted through the air, prompting Xu Huo to frown.

The noise from the fight was too loud.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud crash—it was evident that the wall had been broken through, and there was also a woman’s shrill laughter, "Wanna clear the game? No chance!"

Then there were two screams, and the fighting gradually calmed down. After a while, the man in the raincoat finally left the room.

Another calm night passed, and upon opening the door, the first thing Xu Huo saw was the cracked wall across from him. The seductive female player opened her door and stepped out, tossing a flirty wink at him with pride.

It wasn’t surprising that she was still alive. Xu Huo turned to look at Red-Haired, who seemed a little cowardly, "The one in the raincoat came in last night and took the body away. I didn’t dare to stop him."

Xu Huo nodded, and just then, he received a game notification:

[Congratulations, you have been selected as the Temporary Host for today. As the master of the villa, you are to maintain its cleanliness and hygiene, striving to create a cozy and comfortable environment for your guests. Similarly, ensuring the safety of the villa and guest rooms at night is also your obligation, such as making a sound to reassure the guests to sleep, checking the doors and windows of the villa to prevent thieves, and reconfirming that the guest room bedding is soft and comfortable for the guests.]

[Privileges and obligations go hand in hand.]
