Looking at the level information on the computer, Yang Tao felt the unique flavor of the Backrooms instantly rise, and he patted Eric's shoulder with great satisfaction, saying, "The description is good."
"However, these exits are a bit messy. I'll take some time in the next two days to connect all the first 50 numbered levels of the Backrooms. By then, you just need to write that passing through the wooden door can lead to the levels numbered in the top fifty."
Eric heard Yang Tao's words and showed a wry smile, saying, "Others are terrified of accidentally cutting into other levels, yet you want to connect the first fifty levels just to make it easier to write level information. If the M.E.G. investigators knew, they'd probably vomit blood."
Yang Tao pulled over an office chair and sat opposite Eric, smiling, "The main thing is that it will also be convenient to go to other levels in the future. Besides, I'm considering opening branches in other levels. After all, not all Wanderers have the ability to come to Level 4. At the very least, Level 1 and Level 11 must have one."
These two levels hold special significance in the Backrooms.
They are roughly the Novice Village (Novice Village) and the Main City (Main City).
Eric nodded slightly, agreeing with Yang Tao's point.
"Yang, there's new news online. The 'Beast' of Level 5 has released a message: in one month, Level 5.1 'Terror Casino' will have its grand opening. At that time, all people and Entities are welcome to attend…"
Yang Tao took out Seer Tea powder, brewed two cups of Almond water Seer Tea, and pushed one in front of Eric, saying, "One month?"
Then he chuckled disdainfully, "That guy, Beast, finally has news."
"One month later… if it doesn't release news again, I'm planning to go there myself to see how its casino is doing."
Eric asked in surprise, "Yang, you knew it was preparing to open a casino?"
"Of course, it was partly thanks to me that it was able to open a new sub-level. Do you remember my deal with it? This is also part of the deal."
As he spoke, Yang Tao picked up the Seer Tea on the table, took a sip, and continued, "This guy has already invited me to attend the casino's opening ceremony."
"Sigh, it'll probably be another bloody storm then. You know I'm not the kind of person who likes to fight and kill."
Eric: "…"
He picked up the Seer Tea on the table and took a sip, suddenly realizing that this stuff was easier to accept than Yang Tao's words.
"Yang, you want to kill it?"
Yang Tao chuckled, "No, no, it wants to kill me. Don't get this wrong. At most, I'm just fighting back."
Eric pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Yang, Mr. 'Beast' has an extremely loud reputation. There are always discussions about it on the forums."
"To be honest, being an enemy with it isn't worth much. If possible, I suggest you talk to Beast… sell our supermarket items inside its casino, and you can also invest to take a share of the hotel and casino."
Yang Tao had also considered his relationship with Beast. Aside from the red health bar above its head, the other party hadn't done anything excessive.
If Beast could see the health bar above his head, then Yang Tao guaranteed the health bar's border would be absolutely blood-red.
"What you said makes sense, but if I kill it, those things will be mine too!"
"No, no, Yang, although you are an Entity, you are different from Beast. Even if you kill Beast, you won't be able to manage and operate the casino well for a while."
Eric very seriously helped Yang Tao analyze the pros and cons: "You can't even hire a single Faceling waiter…"
That stings, old pal!
Hearing Eric's words, Yang Tao fell into thought for a few minutes. Then he looked up at Eric and smiled, "What you said makes a lot of sense. I'll consider it, but the decision-making power for this matter isn't in my hands."
Eric understood Yang Tao's meaning, took a sip of Seer Tea, and said, "Yang, I'm talking about maximizing profit. If Mr. 'Beast' has ill intentions towards you, and if you are confident, then kill it. After all, compared to some profits, your safety is the most important."
Yang Tao nodded slightly. In fact, when dealing with Beast, the longer he dragged it out, the more advantageous it was for him. Who knows, one day he might obtain Equivalent Exchange, Chopping Board, Endless Greed, Final Sword, Kryptonite Loli, or the Small Wooden Sword mod. Then, even hanging Beast up and whipping it wouldn't be a problem.
"Hmm, That's right, besides the casino opening, are there any other interesting news?"
Eric thought for a moment and said, "A new organization called Umbrella has recently appeared in the Backrooms. Their numbers are small, but their equipment is very good."
"Also, I always feel like you've mentioned the name of this organization before…"
Umbrella?
Yang Tao's expression froze, and then he remembered the Level 0 [Newbie Tutorial] level wall he had placed outside the beehive.
'Umbrella is eyeing my beehive!'
These guys must have touched the wall and been teleported into Level 1. He just didn't know how many of them had been sent over.
"I did mention it. Umbrella… I really didn't expect them to have the leisure to look for the beehive."
Once they come to the Backrooms, if they are a dragon, they must coil; if they are a tiger, they must crouch. Without logistical supplies, even if Umbrella's security personnel are well-equipped, they won't be able to make waves in the Backrooms' environment, which suppresses modern weapons.
It's the same even if the Tyrant comes. Do you really think the characteristics and mental interference of some levels are just talk?
"Eric, don't worry about them. They are not much different from ordinary Wanderers."
After drinking the Seer Tea in his cup, Yang Tao stood up and said, "Don't be reluctant with the Seer Tea powder I gave you. Drink it boldly and see if you can awaken a good mental ability."
"At worst, it can also improve some physical qualities."
Eric nodded with a wry smile. Was he reluctant? It was because the taste of this stuff was simply too stimulating!
He couldn't understand why Yang Tao could accept it so quickly. Now, not only could he drink it without changing his expression, but he even chewed it a couple of times.
He had also tried chewing it a couple of times, and the bursting sensation almost made him ascend on the spot.
"I'm leaving now to connect the first fifty levels. If anything comes up, just contact me directly through the terminal."
With that, Yang Tao put away his cup and turned to leave Eric's office.
Returning to the Overworld.
Yang Tao's gaze fell on the wooden door leading to Level 9 [Suburbs].
"Let's go to Level 10 first to check the situation. I'll connect the first ten levels first, and on the way, see how Max, who turned into a soul, is doing in Level 10…"
He walked towards the wooden door leading to Level 9 [Suburbs], reached out, and pushed it open. What came into view was the dark, silent street, and a moving mass of fog.
[Entity No. 63 'The Mangled']
