Infinite Instance, I Farm in the Wasteland

Xia Chuohe played games day and night until she died of exhaustion. The bad news: she didn't die completely and transmigrated into the monster-slaying game she was playing before her death – ...

Chapter 302 Playing Games (Part 1)

Gaming is Xia Chuhe's forte.

Before transmigrating, Xia Chuhe had spent seven or eight years dealing with game designers. He had a good grasp of game style, level design, numerical adjustments, data analysis, and player psychology, even if he couldn't say he understood them perfectly.

As long as it involved games, Xia Chuhe was confident she could escape unscathed. She decided to take this group into the game's dungeons.

The two lists together contain a total of thirty-six people.

Xia Chuhe couldn't possibly eliminate all these people at once; otherwise, entering the dungeon with so many people might have resulted in Xia Chuhe being dismembered first.

She grouped the people on the list into two groups, two who were resentful and two who had something to hide. Taking care of four at a time meant nine runs of the dungeon would be no problem.

The plan was wonderful, but when Xia Chuhe brought it up, Li Qiusheng immediately objected: "I'm not comfortable with you going with them alone."

"Then you'll come along?" Xia Chuhe asked with a smile.

Li Qiusheng nodded: "Okay."

Li Qiusheng thought that if a conflict occurred, she could help Xia Chuhe distract a few more people.

...

Xia Chuhe had already relayed the news about the dungeon raid to the first four selected individuals. At this moment, she was reviewing the information they had filled out in the registration form:

Liao Ning, female, has the ability to travel through obstacles; her former identity was an assassin.

Bai Jiu, male, has the superpower of color-changing disguise, and was formerly an assassin.

Wang Mei, female, has the superpower of teleportation and used to belong to an unknown mercenary group.

Lu Xiaofeng, male, has the superpower of telekinesis. He used to live in a small town in the wasteland.

Liao Ning and Bai Jiu were recruited by 03; their supernatural abilities match their assassin identities, so the information is probably accurate. The reason they're on the list is because they're too arrogant and disobedient.

Xia Chuhe banged on the table, determined to build an archive after dealing with this group of people, registering their personal information in more detail. For example, Liao Ning was only mentioned as "crossing obstacles," but it wasn't clear how thick the obstacles were or what the obstacles were made of.

As for Wang Mei and Lu Xiaofeng, the sources of their information are completely unverifiable. Bu Yi said they harbored ill intentions, so their special abilities might even be fake.

Regardless, Xia Chuhe decided that he must bring enough ammunition, and that the little snake and the big parrot must be prepared.

I hope the game's dungeons won't be like the romance dungeons, with things like amnesia and confiscating some items.

Everything was ready, but an unexpected incident occurred just before departure.

The previous plan to seize medicine expanded from one base to more than a hundred bases; how could Guan Wuji not have received the news?

Not many people know about the Canary Organization. Although Guan Wuji didn't go out of his way to find it, it was only a matter of time before he found Taotie City.

As luck would have it, on the very day Xia Chuhe set off for the dungeon, Guan Wuji's men showed up.

The patrol vanguard discovered a group of people approaching Taotie City and immediately reported it.

There were quite a few people coming to cause trouble, and Xia Chuhe was worried that it wasn't just this group. The Taotie City, which was not yet fully built, should not be exposed too early.

It would be best to eliminate or lure these people away first, and then discuss the dungeon.

Li Yue replied, "Do you intend to stay in the city indefinitely just because these people aren't leaving?"

Xia Chuhe wanted to use the dungeon to get along with others and at the same time get rid of those with impure intentions, and everyone else agreed with this move.

Guan Wuji's arrival disrupted Xia Chuhe's plans, and the others were unwilling to see this happen.

Bu Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem. We can handle it. You can go without worry."

Xia Chuhe looked at Li Qiusheng: "Why don't you stay?"

02 suddenly advised, "Qiusheng, you stay here and let 03 come with you to the dungeon."

Xia Chuhe glanced at 02 suspiciously. 03 was a powerful fighter; wouldn't it be better for her to stay in Taotie City? How was she so weak that she needed someone to protect her?

02 whispered in Xia Chuhe's ear, "Guan Wuji only sent someone to test you this time, he's not hard to deal with. 03 He's quite arrogant, but he won't hurt you. If you don't take this opportunity to deflate his arrogance, you might not have another chance."

Xia Chuhe: "..."

02 Is this considered betraying one's brother?

I don't think so.

After all, if 03 continues to be arrogant, he might one day be knocked down by Bao'er with a piece of candy, thus ruining important matters.

However, with external enemies at hand, Xia Chuhe was still somewhat worried.

She led the group who were going to the dungeon, drove around and ambushed a wave of enemies, greatly reducing the pressure on Li Yue and the others, before heading to the coordinates of the game dungeon.

...

On the way, 03 held his sword and remained silent, as were Liao Ning and Bai Jiu.

Lu Xiaofeng did ask a few questions about why they were chosen to form a team, but Xia Chuhe brushed him off with excuses like "getting used to each other."

03 and Liao Ning didn't think much of the ambush, but Bai Jiu started to ponder it.

Because his previous profession was an assassin, and his special ability was disguise and color-changing, emphasizing ambush and one-hit kill, his observation skills were excellent. During the break in the battle, he carefully observed Xia Chuhe's fighting style and killing methods, and found that she was extremely efficient in her actions, and had killed just as many people as 03. In particular, her fiery attack burned the enemies, making them scream in agony, which terrified the group on the other side.

Before even entering the dungeon, Bai Jiu was already starting to believe the rumors circulating among the new recruits—that the city lord was incredibly powerful, even stronger than the final boss of the Food and Amusement Park.

They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the instance coordinates.

Xia Chuhe said, "I obtained the clues about the dungeon in advance, which only contain the word 'game'. In the dungeon, you must follow my instructions. If there are any areas that I cannot cover, just improvise."

Everyone nodded in agreement, except for Liao Ning, who gave a soft hum in response.

Xia Chuhe stopped entering the dungeon and stared at Liao Ning: "If you have any complaints, say them now. Once we're in the dungeon, I won't have time to care about your feelings."

Liao Ning hadn't expected Xia Chuhe to be so blunt. A lump formed in her throat, but all she could say was, "I have no complaints."

Xia Chuhe stopped talking, gave the others a wink, signaling them to enter the instance first, while he stayed behind to cover the rear.

Once all five people had entered the instance, Xia Chuhe calmly stepped into the coordinate point.

Upon entering the instance, everyone saw a door.

The door is made of opaque glass and has no handle, making it appear to be an automatically opening and closing door.

White walls extend outwards on both sides of the door, stretching as far as the eye can see.

To the left of the door is a small table with two sealed bottles of mineral water and a welcome sign.

To the right of the door were some green plants and a shelf. On the shelf were several magazines and a roll of paper.

Liao Ning walked around the door twice, but the door remained unresponsive.

“Come here, let’s stand here together,” Liao Ning said.

The others seemed to have forgotten what Xia Chuhe had said before entering the instance, and without asking her opinion, they stood directly at the door.

Xia Chuhe didn't say anything, but stopped two meters away from the door.

She already understood what kind of game this was.
