The strong one in Area A?

The Thorn Squad?

Countless questions flashed through Xiao Tangqiu's mind. Before he could speak, Su Manluo seemed to see through his doubts. She smiled slightly and said, "I know you must have a lot of questions to ask. We can't stay here for long. Let's talk while we walk."

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other. Since they had no better choice, they followed Su Manluo.

Su Manluo led the two towards the exit of the square, explaining as they walked, "This is the teleportation square. Players enter dungeons from here, and return here after returning from dungeons. Oh, and dungeons are what we call those quests, and players are what we call people like us... This world is actually very similar to a game. We players become stronger and stronger by constantly completing quests and killing monsters. However, this game doesn't have a resurrection point for you to be reborn. Once you die, you're really dead."

Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly: "Did those people who suddenly disappeared just now enter... a dungeon?"

"No, they were teleported into the main city. To enter the dungeon, you have to go through those white teleportation capsules, the ones over there," Su Manluo pointed to the white cylinders and said lightly, "But in fact, once the time is up, no matter where you are, you will be teleported directly into the dungeon, but veteran players will choose to use the teleportation capsule to enter the game because it can provide protection. Of course, once you enter the dungeon, your body is teleported in as well, but when you teleport back from the dungeon, there will be a period of weakness, especially after being injured. The more serious the injury in the dungeon, the longer the weakness will be. If you have ever made enemies with others, your enemies can take advantage of your weakness to attack you, but if there is a teleportation capsule, you can spend the weakness in it until your body adjusts to the best condition before leaving."

Xiao Tangqiu suddenly realized. No wonder he had been unconscious for a while and it was Tang Mianmian who woke him up. It turned out that he was injured in the copy... He subconsciously touched the injured area, but found that it had recovered as normal.

"No matter how badly you've been injured in the dungeon, even if you've lost a limb, as long as you're still breathing, you can recover after returning here," Su Manluo smiled slightly upon seeing Xiao Tangqiu's actions. "Even those who were originally missing limbs in the real world can become normal people after coming here... Amazing, isn't it? But there are so many more amazing things here."

Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly, thinking that this setting was not unusual at all, it was everywhere, right? "What is this Area A you just mentioned?"

"Going out from here is the Abyss City, which is where players like us live. The Abyss City is huge, I don't know exactly how big it is, but it's shaped like a huge circle, divided into four areas from the outside to the inside: Area D, Area C, Area B, and Area A. The center is Area S," Su Manluo said calmly, "As the name suggests, Area A experts are those who are qualified to live there, and Area S experts are the top experts who are above all other players. A large amount of points are required to enter these areas, except for Area D, which does not require any points. It is the place where newcomers settle down when they first enter this world, and it is also the most mixed place. We call it the Novice Village. The place outside the Novice Village is the main city I just mentioned."
