Rover did not do anything more, because he only wanted to quickly finish the remaining sleep time.
After that, he truly sank into sleep.
While he slept, Nanoe checked messages to help Rover maximize the value of the key, all while chatting with Selina. The scene was peaceful and harmonious.
However, outside had already fallen into unbelievable chaos.
Right now, Sunny also felt utterly desperate. He muttered curses under his breath. "Damn it! Are the System's rules really this insane? I cannot send messages, I cannot talk, does that mean the contents of the [Survival Guide] cannot be revealed at all?"
That was right, he had decided to sell information by verbally sharing what was written in the [Survival Guide]. Since he could not send messages, he chose to use spoken words instead.
He went outside and tried to bring up the information trade with everyone he met, but he had underestimated the System's rules.
He truly could not utter any information from the [Survival Guide]. Even the smallest detail could not be spoken. Whenever he tried to say anything, it felt like an invisible hand was squeezing his heart.
If he continued to try to leak information, he would certainly die.
In the end, Sunny gave up on selling information and moved around alone in search of something useful.
He reached the parking lot and saw plenty of old cars, as well as many Survivors rummaging around. Some were even smashing car windows to search inside.
Sunny frowned and walked around. He realized this place had already been stripped by those people. There was basically nothing useful left.
"Damn it! I got here too late?" Sunny cursed to himself, but he still refused to give up. He believed that as long as he kept trying, Lady Luck would smile on him.
"That is…" Sunny was startled when he saw a small black shadow dart across in front of him.
"A rat?" Sunny muttered, but he did not have time to think about it. He immediately chased after the rat, a strange feeling rising in his heart that this rat would lead him to something huge.
He followed it to a deserted corner, then frowned and looked around, but he could no longer find the rat.
Sunny scratched his head and said in confusion, "Weird, where did that rat go?"
In front of him was a dead end, with three walls enclosing the spot. The wall directly ahead of him had a huge red G1 painted on it.
Sunny searched for quite a while and could not find anything unusual, so he sighed, shook his head and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, just as he turned away, he felt something and turned back again to look at the upper corner of the wall.
Up there, several pipes converged into one point and went into the wall in front of him, making him feel even more suspicious.
"Does that mean there is some kind of room or passage behind this wall?" Sunny said.
That was right, there was no way all those pipes were connected into the wall for no reason.
But… even if there really was something behind this wall, he had no idea how to pass through it.
Sunny sighed and placed his hand on the wall. Suddenly, the G1 character gave off a faint glow, and a notification window appeared in front of him.
[Hidden Room detected, do you wish to explore it? Note: The difficulty of this room is very high. Rookie players of Game Rounds 2 and below are advised not to enter.]
[Hint: You may form a party to enter this room. Maximum party size: 2 players.]
"Wow! There really is a secret room. But… damn it! If I walk away now, will someone else find this place?"
Sunny began to hesitate. He was only a Rookie of Round 1 and knew that if he recklessly entered, he would probably die.
"Tsk!" Sunny ground his teeth. He really did not want to miss this opportunity. In the end, he thought of something and decided to use the screenshot function, then send the image through private messages.
…
Two hours passed, and Rover slowly woke up, feeling that he had slept enough and that his stamina had recovered a bit.
[You have successfully completed 8 hours of sleep. You receive 56 Omni Points.]
[The Bed's "Comfort" effect has been triggered. You receive an additional 20 Omni Points. Total Omni Points obtained: 76 Points.]
[Your current total Omni Points: 172.5 Points.]
Looking at the notifications in front of him, Rover smiled in satisfaction. Although he already had enough points to upgrade the bed, he was in no hurry.
After all, defending this room was still the first priority. He could afford to collect Omni Points a bit slower, but he had to survive this Round before anything else.
Rover stretched, savoring the comfort after a long sleep. He looked toward the middle of the room and was startled when he saw the blonde woman there.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at her again, a hint of disbelief appearing on his face.
At that moment, Nanoe covered her mouth with a smile, placed both hands on Selina's shoulders and pushed her in front of Rover, laughing as she said, "Well? Pretty surprising, right?"
In his heart, Rover cursed, 'Of course I'm surprised! If not for the personal information panel above her head, I would have thought this girl and that woman from before were two completely different people.'
That was right. Previously, Selina's appearance had been utterly miserable. Her hair was a tangled bird's nest, her body was somewhat filthy, and her face had been hidden under the messy hair, making it impossible to tell if she was pretty or ugly.
Now, she appeared in a completely different state.
Her golden hair reached down to her waist, the ends slightly wavy. Her skin was as flawless and white as snow, and her blue eyes were like a calm ocean.
Her beauty was so striking that even he could not help but be astonished. Suddenly, he remembered a face he often saw.
It was not someone he had met in person, but a face he had seen on giant posters in the city center.
"Selina… Selina… are you really her?"
Selina walked toward him with full confidence, smiling gently as she said, "Yes, it's me."
Rover took a deep breath. He had never imagined he would be lucky enough to pick up the top photo model Selina.
Yes, she was the top freelance fashion model Selina. She did not only work in fashion, but had also stepped into the worlds of cosmetics, jewelry and even film.
She was known as the Sunflower of the entertainment world because of her golden hair and her confident expressions.
However, about two years ago, she had suddenly gotten married, and her husband turned out to be Billy, the useless son of a major shareholder at the largest entertainment company in the city.
Back then, she was drowned in insults, slander and curses on the internet. The news continuously reported on her, claiming she had finally taken off her mask and revealed herself as a shameless woman who only cared about money.
"Never thought I'd get to have a woman who was once the dream girl of countless men." Rover teased.
Selina shook her head with a bitter smile. "No matter how beautiful or famous I am, I was still just a toy in their hands."
She suddenly looked at Rover, her eyes carrying a kind of expectation, and said softly, "I don't mind telling you. I have been a plaything for several men. Do you think I'm a filthy whore?"
Rover did not answer her question. He was only slightly surprised and instead asked, "Is the entertainment industry that dark?"
"Hahaha…" Selina laughed bitterly. "Yes. You just don't dare believe it or don't want to think about it. In reality, the entertainment world is far darker, filthier and more rotten than you can imagine."
She lifted her head to look at him and continued, "I am very beautiful, right? But I was nothing more than a whore to those people. Will you…"
Rover did not answer. He immediately pulled her into his arms and pressed a kiss to her lips.
Selina's eyes widened, but she soon began to respond passionately. She extended her tongue and gently licked his lips, then slipped into his mouth.
She was even more proactive than he was, turning him from the dominant one into the passive one. She wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, devouring his lips and tongue.
After a while, when she could no longer breathe, she finally pulled away. Her face was flushed red, her lips curved in a satisfied smile.
Rover wrapped an arm around her waist, licked his lips and said with a grin, "It's different now. You are my woman. I don't care who you were before. All you need to know is that from now on, you are my woman."
Selina pressed her lips together, her eyes misty, yet she still smiled gently. "Uhm! I'm yours."
She lifted her head, wanting to immerse herself in this warm feeling, when Nanoe's voice suddenly rang out.
"All right! I don't want to interrupt you two, but… Rover, I just found something that I think you'll be very interested in."
Nanoe took out a small purple scroll and handed it to Rover.
He looked at the scroll, then at the information panel for it, and his eyes lit up.
