    Chapter 133 Apartment Survival 3

    "I’m not doing it." Su Han shot down the suggestion harshly and showed them the door. "If there’s nothing else, please leave. And remember to close the door behind you when you go."

    "Wouldn’t it be better if the beta testers worked together?" Qiu Shuang couldn’t understand.

    Su Han’s gaze swept over the five members of the alliance before she slowly spat out, "I don’t trust any of you." Aside from Zhong Rui, she trusted no one.

    "What about you?" Qiu Shuang turned to Zhong Rui. But a glance revealed he was still munching on a red bean bun, making her eye twitch in irritation.

    Zhong Rui casually replied, "Not interested."

    With Su Han here, he wasn’t going anywhere.

    Qiu Shuang thought these two were utterly hopeless losers—how had they even won first place? The disparity in strength was so obvious. If all the beta testers teamed up, the game would be over in no time.

    As if reading her thoughts, Su Han murmured under her breath, "This is a survival game—it’s about who lasts the longest. Like fireworks—bright and dazzling, but gone in a flash. What’s the point?"

    Beside her, Zhong Rui chimed in, "A hastily formed team—who can confidently say they trust their teammates? When facing a fatal attack, can you be sure your teammate will pull you to safety instead of pushing you to your death to buy themselves more time?"

    Qiu Shuang was furious. Not only did these two refuse to join, but they were also stirring the pot!

    Fortunately, the beta testers were seasoned players with nerves of steel. One of them chuckled indifferently. "We’ve all survived the first Endless Survival tournament. Who can outmaneuver whom?"

    In other words, he was confident that even in danger, he’d be the one deciding whether to pull or push, not the one whose fate rested in another’s hands.

    "We’re not on the same page," Qiu Shuang said with an icy glare, and she and her team left, slamming the door shut behind them.

    Su Han snorted, muttering in dissatisfaction, "Think I’m too cautious? I think you’re all way too reckless."

    "You only get one life. You only die once. Once you’re out, no matter how glorious your past achievements were, people will forget you eventually."

    "Among the eliminated players in the Endless Survival tournament, weren’t there any geniuses? Yet they faded into obscurity—all because they died too soon!"

    "We don’t mesh well, no need to bother with them," Zhong Rui continued eating his bun.

    On the other side, Qiu Shuang fumed, "If I were absolutely certain of victory, I’d have beaten them up already!"

    A teammate couldn’t help but advise, "Those two are, after all, tied for first place. They’re probably hiding some aces up their sleeves. Best not to provoke them for no reason."

    With that, the five resumed their work.

    Floors five, four, and three were cleared one after another. Just as they planned to wait for the gas on the first and second floors to dissipate before continuing, helpful locals provided gas masks, medical face masks, and detox pills. Some even joined the alliance, deciding to fight together.

    Thus, at just past 4 PM on the second day of the game, it ended. All beta testers successfully cleared the stage, surviving to the end.

    The game pod slowly opened. Li Yue, stone-faced, said solemnly, "Good job, everyone." Though inwardly, he thought finishing the battle in two days hardly counted as "hard work," he still had to maintain appearances and reassure his staff.

    Privately, Li Yue even began considering whether to impose a time limit in the future—like not allowing clearance before five days. Otherwise, the poor, defenseless NPCs wouldn’t stand a chance against these thugs.

    Ending the battle in two days—what kind of survival game is that?

    Nearby, Su Han voiced her concerns. "If the stage difficulty is lowered, ordinary players can survive, but pros can also control the game more easily. Is this really okay for the stage design?"

    Li Yue’s inner voice screamed—how many pros were there in the world? Most were just average! Outwardly, he replied tersely, "It’s fine. This is what the players prefer."

    Hearing this, Su Han said no more.

    **

    Days passed, and Su Han fell into a steady routine.

    She patiently waited for stage development, occasionally tested games, went out to show off her relationship or go on dates during holidays, and lived a relaxed, happy life.

    Occasionally, looking back on the past, Su Han felt like it was a lifetime ago. In just half a year, her life had undergone a complete 180—easy work, excellent benefits, and a great boyfriend. It was as if from the moment she signed up for the Endless Survival tournament, luck had been on her side.

    Su Han thought to herself—this must be what they called living the dream, living happily every day.
