Infinite Game - Start With SSS Rank Class-Chapter 139: Lighthouse

"Another Epic Rank [Tenant], providing 4,700 Omni Points every day."

Although Rover did not know whether Elith would be able to turn into a human form later on, he still did not want to waste 4,700 points a day.

Elith could feel an invisible thread connecting her to Rover, and she immediately let out a sigh.

There was a sense of relief, as if she had been set free, but mixed within it was also a sense of unease, not knowing what the future would be like.

Rover was about to say something when a notification panel appeared.

[Ding! Congratulations, you have completed the mission.

Evaluation: Perfect

Reward: Epic Supply Crate

The reward has been placed in your backpack. Please check it.]

[Ding! Congratulations, your Tenant, Selina, has completed the mission.

Evaluation: Perfect 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Reward: High-grade Supply Crate

The reward has been placed in your backpack. Please check it.]

"Hmm?!" Rover was a little surprised. He had not expected that when Selina completed a mission, he would also receive the reward.

But that only made things better. He was only afraid the rewards would be too few, never too many.

Sunny curled his lips and said, "What the hell is this? Just a High-grade Supply Crate?"

Rover walked closer, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "It’s all the same. At the very least, I got 2 high-grade supply crates."

He was not stupid enough to say that he had received an Epic Supply Crate, but he also did not hide the fact that Selina had received a supply crate too.

Sunny’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Is this a bug? Bringing a Tenant gives an extra reward?"

"It seems so." Rover smiled and said, "In the previous game round, Tenants also had the right to appear on the leaderboard, it’s just that their rewards would be received by the Owner."

Sunny sighed. Of course, he knew about that. In the end, he said nothing more, as if he had accepted his fate.

Rover also did not rush to open the two supply crates he had just received. He softly asked, "Take me to where the treasure is stored."

Elith nodded, but her eyes glanced toward Sunny.

Rover knew what she was thinking and immediately said, "Don’t worry. Thanks to him, I was able to get here. If there’s treasure, we’ll enjoy it together. No need to hide anything."

Hearing that, Sunny’s eyes widened, and the respect in his heart for Rover deepened even more. He had thought that after getting Elith, Rover would throw him out and monopolize the treasure alone.

At that point, there would have been nothing he could do, after all, he was the one who had invited Rover here.

But the way Rover handled it made him respect Rover even more. In his heart, he secretly decided that if there were any missions in the future that needed teammates, he would definitely work with Rover.

Naturally, Rover could also guess what Sunny was thinking. That too was exactly what he was aiming for.

Just for a little treasure right now, throwing away someone with enormous future potential was something he did not want to happen.

Sunny was so lucky. He would definitely be able to find many good missions. By following him, Rover would also be able to easily get through those missions, just like this one.

After hearing that, Elith nodded and led all three of them to another room.

Inside the room were many objects made of gold, precious metals, there were even diamonds, sapphires, and a few strange items.

But when he touched them, Rover realized these things were all useless. One had to know that this game used its own independent currency. These precious metals were not game currency, so to him, they were almost useless.

Sunny frowned and searched around, but there was nothing useful. Then, a moment later, he noticed something strange.

"Wait! Don’t you all feel that something is strange?" Sunny asked.

Rover frowned and asked in confusion, "What is it?!"

"The Spider Queen and her entire tribe were wiped out, so why are all these things still here?" Sunny asked with a smile.

Hearing that, Rover was startled and immediately realized the strange thing Sunny had just pointed out.

That was right. If the Spider Queen and her tribe were all creatures from another dimension, then what did they need these useless metals for?

Besides, after they died, would their enemy really not have taken all these things away? One had to know that this room was not locked. Just push the door and it would open.

"Could it be..." Rover frowned and said, "There’s another secret hidden here? Is there another treasure vault?"

Sunny did not answer. He walked around the large room, frowning as he looked at the golden utensils piled up like heaps of trash.

He looked around once, then walked to a corner of the room and pushed away the pile of gold there, revealing an empty patch of floor.

Sunny crouched down and lightly knocked on the floor.

Knock! Knock!

"Hollow! There’s a tunnel here."

Hearing Sunny say that, Rover and everyone else fell silent, their gazes on him as if they were looking at some bizarre lifeform.

Damn it! This wasn’t luck, this was a bug. I demand that this world’s admin deal with Sunny before he destroys this world.

Elith’s expression was even more colorful, shifting from surprise to anticipation, then disappointment, and finally embarrassment.

She had stayed here for an extremely long time, yet she had not known about this. Sunny had only just arrived, yet he already knew there was another hidden space here.

Seeing Elith’s devastated expression, Rover lightly patted her shoulder and comforted her, "First time? Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it later."

Elith: "..."

Sunny searched a little more and soon found the hidden switch that opened the door leading to the basement.

Immediately after that, the basement door opened, revealing a staircase.

He smiled and said, "Let’s go. My intuition is telling me there’s definitely a treasure down there."

Rover sighed, feeling as though he had already grown used to Sunny’s terrifying luck, so he merely followed behind him. The surprise on his face had already vanished.

The tunnel was quite dark. Rover used the [Eye of Truth] to light the way, and he could see that this tunnel was completely different from the tunnel leading into this area.

This place was built from rough bricks fitted together to form a massive wall, and the staircase also seemed to have been carved from a block of granite, incredibly sturdy.

The stairs led down to a room. The door was made of wood, and on it were strange patterns along with a spider-shaped symbol.

Seeing the hollow part in the spider symbol, everyone looked toward Elith.

She pressed her lips together and held the gem up, placing it into that symbol.

Crack!

The door opened, and a strange structure appeared before them.

A circular room. There was not much inside, but the most distinctive thing was a corpse with only white bones left, still wearing a set of clothes so tattered that their original shape could no longer be seen.

That corpse lay on a large chair. Beside it was a tea table, and on top of the table was a notebook and a fountain pen.

There did not seem to be any treasure here at all. It seemed like nothing more than an ordinary room.

"This is..." Selina, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Isn’t this the inside of a lighthouse?"

"A lighthouse?" Sunny frowned and asked in confusion, "Why would you guess that?"

Selina pointed at the perfectly circular wall of the room and explained, "This is the structure used to build a lighthouse. Besides, the clothes this person is wearing are the clothes worn by lighthouse keepers from around 80 to 100 years ago."

"Huh?!" Sunny was startled, his gaze toward Selina filled with disbelief as he continued to ask, "80 to 100 years ago? How do you know that?"

Selina honestly said, "Back then, I once took part in a reality show about exploring the lives of people living near the sea. Most of it was about sailing and maritime life, so I studied a lot before joining that program."

"More than 80 years ago, the people who took part in building lighthouses would also guard them. That was the uniform they commonly wore. But since 50 years ago, lighthouse guarding has been handed over to the Navy. Naturally, the clothing on that corpse is not a Navy uniform."

"And more than that, the items here are very old, especially the design of the cufflink on the chest. That was a design from a long-standing brand, but that style stopped being produced a very long time ago."

Sunny and Elith were both shocked by what Selina had just said. Elith asked admiringly, "Selina, you are..."

"Me? I’m just a famous model and actress." Selina smiled and said, "Now, I am Master’s dog."

As she said that, a trace of pride appeared in her eyes, as if being someone else’s dog was something that made her incredibly proud.

Sunny, Elith: "..."

Sunny frowned and said, "Wait a second! Since when do models and actresses have such profound knowledge?"

Selina disdainfully said, "Competition among models and actresses is not just about pretty faces and acting skills. When taking part in reality shows, if you do not have enough knowledge and physical strength, then you will be judged as useless."

"At that point, those reality shows with extremely high viewership will become your fatal weakness. Even your enemies will use that weakness to beat you to the ground so thoroughly that you will never be able to stand back up."

"You should know, on the surface, idols, stars, models, or actresses all seem very easygoing and friendly, but the competition between us is absolutely terrifying."

"With just one piece of bad news, my career would collapse instantly. That is why I need a perfect outer shell full of poisonous thorns to protect myself."

At this moment, Sunny, Elith, and even Rover all realized that being a star was not exactly a good thing either.

Selina continued, "The stairs over there probably lead to the lighthouse lamp above, but I advise you not to recklessly go up there."

"Why?" Sunny frowned and asked.

Selina shook her head and said, "When I took part in that reality show, a guide once told me that old-style lighthouse lamps used toxic substances for illumination such as mercury, acetylene gas, or intense ultraviolet rays from high-powered lamps."

"No matter how you look at it, this lighthouse is very old. If you don’t have protective gear, then even if you possess supernatural powers, you still won’t be able to withstand those terrifying toxins."

Hearing that, Sunny shuddered. If not for Selina, he would probably have rushed up to the lighthouse lamp area to investigate.

At this moment, he glanced at Rover with envy and said irritably, "You really are damn lucky."

Rover: "..."

"Does someone as lucky as you even have the right to say that?"
