What's going on?
Is there someone else living in the room next door?
Zhang Yue seemed to realize something, so he immediately called the real estate agent.
"Did you rent me a shared apartment?"
On the other end of the phone, the female agent who had shown Zhang Yue the apartment replied, "Yes, sir. I told you this was a shared unit, and you didn't object at the time."
"Did you mention that?" Zhang Yue frowned slightly.
He had been in such a rush when signing the contract that he hadn't paid much attention to the details about the apartment. He simply moved in after signing, then spent the whole day in the otherworld.
Whatever. Zhang Yue decided not to dwell on it and said, "I don't like shared apartments. Please help me find a private one in this area."
"Got it! I'll keep an eye out for something suitable."
After hanging up, Zhang Yue went downstairs to grab something to eat.
The neighborhood was lively, with a commercial hub right outside the east gate. The streets were full of snack stalls, bustling with young people.
Of course, Zhang Yue wasn't in the mood for a stroll.
He quickly ate a plate of stir-fried noodles and headed back home.
As he returned to the living room, Zhang Yue noticed something odd—the door to the side bedroom, which had been closed when he left, was now slightly ajar.
No one seemed to be inside.
From his angle, he could glimpse a room bathed in pink—a pink bed, a pink dressing table, and even a stuffed pink teddy bear on the bed.
Even the wallpaper was pink!
It was clear: the person living next door was a girl.
Zhang Yue thought about calling the agent again to check on the housing situation but decided to leave it for later when Liu Yao and Su Jingyan both messaged him at the same time:
"Big bro, you finished eating yet?"
"Zhang Yue, are you online?"
"Forget it, I'll deal with this later," Zhang Yue muttered, putting his phone aside. He went back to his room, locked the door, touched the mark on his hand for three seconds, and activated the portal to the otherworld.
At the Holy Light Cemetery, Zhang Yue reunited with Liu Yao, Li Xiaoyao, Su Jingyan, and Supreme Healer.
Zhang Yue glanced at Su Jingyan. "Ready?"
She seemed a bit nervous, her face slightly flushed. "Yeah, I'm ready!"
"Alright, let's begin."
With that, Zhang Yue activated the Boss Challenge.
Whoosh!
A massive light curtain appeared before them.
As Zhang Yue and Su Jingyan stepped through the curtain together, Li Xiaoyao adjusted his glasses and remarked calmly, "Are we a bit... unnecessary?"
Supreme Healer added, "Three third wheels, maybe?"
Liu Yao grumbled, "Stop with the nonsense and get in there!"
As the whole group entered the light curtain, it vanished from the Holy Light Cemetery.
Several nearby players, watching in awe, murmured among themselves:
"They're going to fight the World Boss?"
"No way! They finished the World Quest already?"
"Damn, monsters…"
…
"Ding~ Welcome to the Third World: Reaper's Descent World Boss Domain!"
With the system notification, Zhang Yue's team found themselves in a boundless, dark cemetery.
Roar!
A thunderous roar echoed as a giant, blood-red, bat-like monster soared across the sky.
This was the boss of the Third World—Death God Kaiser!
In this boss domain, Death God Kaiser wasn't invincible.
As usual, Zhang Yue cast Scout.
[Death God Kaiser](lv30 Magic-Type, 3-Star Boss)
[Magic Attack: 1180]
[Physical Defense: 520]
[Magic Defense: 550]
[HP: 60,000]
[Skills: Reaper's Eye, Death Roar, Death Breath…]
[Description: The immortal god, Kaiser, ruler of the Third World. At night, he descends upon the Third World…]
This was no small boss, but to Zhang Yue, the stats posed no threat.
"Stay back, I can handle this on my own."
"Especially you, Liu Yao. Stay far away—you don't have any revives left, and I don't want you getting insta-killed."
Liu Yao, touched by Zhang Yue's words, responded emotionally, "Other than my dad, you're the only one who cares about me like this!"
Zhang Yue rolled his eyes. "Stop being gross and get lost."
Liu Yao grinned, "You got it, bro!"
Zhang Yue's strength was unquestionable, so Li Xiaoyao and the others obediently moved aside to avoid getting in his way.
Zhang Yue summoned the Dark Skeleton King and his skeletal warrior.
Fatal Taunt!
The Skeleton King raised its massive sword, releasing a glowing aura that drew Death God Kaiser's attention.
Locked onto the Skeleton King, Kaiser swooped down, opening its jaws to release a cloud of red mist—Death Breath!
The mist enveloped the Skeleton King, dealing only 200 to 300 points of damage per tick.
Supreme Healer, watching from behind, exclaimed, "Holy crap! Even a level-30, 3-star boss can't damage it! This Skeleton King is a tank!"
Indeed, it was tanky.
Thanks to the Shadow Sovereign and Fatal Taunt skills, the damage Death God Kaiser inflicted on the Skeleton King was reduced by a whopping 50%!
Plus, the Necromancer Set's 300 damage reduction.
If Kaiser's attack was any weaker, it wouldn't even scratch the Skeleton King's defenses!
With the set's 2,000 shield points, the Skeleton King tanked Kaiser's attacks without breaking a sweat.
Seeing this opportunity, Zhang Yue unleashed his barrage of spells—Fireball, Ice Spike, Lightning Strike, Fire Missile.
One after another, his A-level skills struck Death God Kaiser.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive damage numbers floated above Kaiser's head—
-1541! -185 Burn!
-2096 Crit! Freeze!
-1637!
-593! -889 Crit! -889 Crit!
A cumulative 7,000+ damage, instantly knocking down 12% of Death God Kaiser's HP!
Under the effect of Fatal Taunt, Kaiser continued focusing its attacks on the Skeleton King, allowing Zhang Yue to unleash his full firepower without worry.
Li Xiaoyao and Supreme Healer were already dumbfounded by Zhang Yue's nuclear-level damage.
It was as if this level-30, 3-star boss was just a regular mob in front of him!
At that moment, Li Xiaoyao suddenly noticed something. "Wait, where's Yao?"
Su Jingyan looked back, spotting Liu Yao standing several meters away, jumping up and down while shouting, "666!" (A popular slang for admiration).
"Zhang Yue told him to stay far away, and he really took that seriously," Su Jingyan sighed.
The Skeleton King's Healing Surge skill meant Supreme Healer didn't even need to provide healing.
So, the rest of them just sat back and watched as Zhang Yue slowly whittled away at Death God Kaiser.
Boom!
With one final Fireball, Zhang Yue delivered a 2,300+ crit, wiping out the last sliver of Kaiser's HP.
Roar...
With a final wail, Death God Kaiser's body plummeted from the sky, crashing lifelessly to the ground.
"Ding~ Congratulations! You have defeated the level-30, 3-star boss Death God Kaiser, gaining 49,000 experience (team bonus: 50% base, final hit bonus: 20%) and 30 million ability points!"
At the same time, a regional announcement echoed—
[Regional Announcement](Holy Light Cemetery): "Ding~ Congratulations to player [Zero] for defeating the World Boss Death God Kaiser, completing the Third World: Reaper's Descent!"
[Regional Announcement](Holy Light Cemetery): "Ding~ Congratulations to player [Su Yan] for defeating the World Boss Death God Kaiser, completing the Third World: Reaper's Descent!"
"Ding…"
Back at the Holy Light Cemetery, countless players still grinding on level 22 and 23 skeletons stared in disbelief at the news.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue approached Kaiser's corpse to collect the loot.
He picked up two pieces of level-25, 2-star Necromancer set gear, 30+ silver coins, and some tier-3 materials.
Compared to the 3-star Golden Skeleton King, Kaiser's drop rate was pathetic.
The Skeleton King had dropped over 200 silver coins alone!
The reason for the difference: Death God Kaiser had been farmed countless times by veteran players as a world boss.
After defeating the boss, two portals appeared in front of them—one red and one blue.
The red portal led to the Fourth World, while the blue one took them back to the Third.
By now, they should have gone straight to the Fourth World.
However, Su Jingyan and Liu Yao both chose to return to the Third World.
Despite defeating the World Boss, their levels were still too low.
At levels 22-23, entering the Fourth World, which ranged from level 31 to 35, would be like stepping into death's door right from the safe zone!
It was better for them to stay in the Third World and level up for a few more days.
Of course, that only applied to those like Su Jingyan and the others, who had limited strength.
As for Zhang Yue, his sights were already set on the Fourth World.
But not tonight.
It was already late, and Zhang Yue decided to get some rest before setting out for the Fourth World tomorrow morning.
After wrapping things up at the Sanctuary Graveyard, Liu Yao led the members of the Supreme Guild, while Su Jinyan took the Yan Yu Pavilion members with him. Both groups went their separate ways to develop and grow stronger.
Zhang Yue, however, logged out on the spot.
The moment he disconnected, Zhang Yue stretched lazily and decided to take a shower before heading to bed.
---
As he opened the door to his apartment's living room, his gaze naturally drifted toward the side bedroom.
The door was half-open—just like before.
Zhang Yue didn't give it much thought. He had already made up his mind: he'd put up with this place for one more night, but no matter what, he'd move to a better place tomorrow.
With that, he headed for the shower.
---
Fresh from his bath, Zhang Yue dried his hair as he walked back to his room. But as he stepped inside, he froze in place, stunned by the unexpected sight before him.
There, sprawled across his bed, was a girl.
Her long white dress had somehow bunched up, turning into a makeshift mini-skirt that barely covered her. Her smooth, fair legs stretched out, bare and perfectly shaped, gleaming under the dim light. The way her soft curves and delicate limbs were exposed stirred an unbidden wave of thoughts.
Zhang Yue blinked, trying to process the situation.
This was not what he had expected.
