The middle-aged man with a side-part hairstyle remained motionless. A female player who had just arrived in the crowd tried to go forward to check on him, but Gao Fei grabbed her arm.

"Danger."

The female player tried to pull her arm back, but couldn't budge it at all.

"Who are you? Let go!"

Seeing her furrow her brow and the corners of her mouth turn down in impatience and anxiety, Gao Fei released his grip and let the female player move forward.

If you're so eager to die, then go ahead.

The female player ran over to help her teammate up. The dungeon required both players to survive until the seventh day, so this person couldn't die.

She hoisted the man's arm onto her shoulder, and as she turned, she saw Shekh raise an arm, his open palm facing her.

A ball of blackish-gold liquid twisted and churned in her palm, gradually forming a sharp triangular scissor. Just as Shekh was about to press her wrist down in an attack gesture, a voice came from behind her, "Wait."

Shi Jin turned around, cupped her hand that was attacking, and pressed down on Shekh's arm.

The female player breathed a sigh of relief. Facing that black mass, she felt an involuntary fear, as if she were facing a bottomless abyss. She knew without even getting close that if she fell in, she would be smashed to pieces and never be able to escape.

Thank goodness... thank goodness the other side stopped.

However, her relief lasted only three seconds before she heard the person blocking Shekh's attack say, "Wait a minute, let's see how long it takes for the other player to have a problem if the team member dies."

The dungeon offers three opportunities to change teammates. Shi Jinzhe wonders if changing teammates will have any side effects or be considered a sign of infidelity by the rules.

If this is seen as a change of heart, then it's a trap; whoever switches sides will die.

The mission requires both sides to survive for seven days. In other words, if one side dies and the surviving side does not replace their teammates, the surviving side may die prematurely due to triggering the condition of "not surviving at the same time".

However, if you change teammates, the dungeon might flag you for having a "lover who has changed his mind" and trigger the death condition.

Shi Jinzhe stood behind Shehe, placed his hands on her shoulders, and told her his thoughts, "This is a ready-made experimental sample. This man has lost his combat ability and is only half alive. This female player can either continue to team up with him or switch to another player. If he dies and doesn't survive the day, we can also draw a conclusion about how long one person can survive alone when one person dies. No matter which choice she makes, we can get a result from the experiment."

Shekh tilted his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the fingers that were rubbing his shoulder. Hearing Shi Jinzhe continue, "So, how about we keep them for another half day to maximize their value? If they want to steal your things, it would be too easy for them to die like this."

He lowered his voice, "Now, unless someone is out of their mind, no one who heard what I just said will easily break up a team. If this female player can't find new teammates, as long as she wants to live, she will definitely try to break up other people and re-form a team. In fact, we kill three birds with one stone."

Shekh raised his head slightly, and when he looked back, he saw that the words were quite pleasant to hear, and he could stay for another half a day.

"Can."

There were quite a few newbies in this round of dungeons. They didn't realize that failing to clear the dungeon without losing points was equivalent to real death. Shi Jinzhe didn't say it out loud, but he didn't completely rule it out.

If this female player demonstrates a certain level of skill, an overconfident person will definitely take the risk and abandon their original teammates who are inferior to her.

Ignoring the varied expressions on the faces of the others, Sher left A1102 and headed to the twelfth floor with Shi Jin.

Lin Xian pulled Liang Fengzhi, "Sister Liang, let's take the things and go."

"Ah..." Liang Fengzhi followed, still wondering if she had just seen something.

It looks like... a snake's tail?

The four figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, and the rest of the people either left or dispersed.

Gao Fei ignored the stunned female player and went with Shi Yan to examine the four corpses.

"See, that's how important it is to choose a good teammate. If one person makes a mistake, it will drag the other down with them."

Gao Fei really couldn't understand this person's actions. It wasn't their first time in the dungeon, and even if they didn't know any skilled players, they shouldn't have been so impulsive as to take on four opponents at once.

Shi Yan's words were merciless: "If you've never been beaten up, you think you're great just because you got a skill card, but you'll be useless when you run into a tough opponent."

"Ha, everyone has their own destiny, even gods can't save fools."

Gao Fei found no further clues in the room, so she crossed the broken wall and went to the female player's side.

“I was going to help you out, but you ran away. If you hadn’t gone over there, there wouldn’t have been any problem secretly swapping teammates with someone else. Now that everyone is on guard, it will be difficult for you to swap now.”

The female player looked up, regret in her eyes, but stubbornness prevailed, and she avoided Gao Fei's gaze, "You could have told me directly back then, why are you offering hindsight advice now?"

Gao Fei gave a cryptic smirk and went along with it, "Want to live? I'll tell you a secret."

She leaned close to the female player's ear and whispered, "You can't revive in this round. If you want to live, try your best to find new teammates. This man can't survive. Without teammates, you'll die too."

The female player's eyes widened, "You..."

"If you want to successfully change teammates, keep this secret to yourself and don't tell anyone. If you still think I'm just being wise after the event, then go ahead."

Gao Fei stood up, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Take care of yourself."

Since she can't survive, she might as well push things along and make the most of it.

.

On the twelfth floor, Shekh found no new victims. After walking through the thirteenth and fourteenth floors, they returned to the twelfth floor and went to Building B via the sky corridor.

I walked through the building from top to bottom and found that only four groups of players lived there, and no one died.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Sheikh chose a seat by the window.

Thick fog shrouded the city, revealing only the outlines of some buildings. There was no sound or other life outside.

It was still early, so she stuck her tongue out at Shi Jinzhe and said, "I want to eat strawberry cake."

Shi Jinzhe said, "Don't I look like a strawberry cake? Eat me up!"

"Can you turn into a strawberry?"

"I can turn into a cake." Shi Jinzhe opened his hand, revealing two bright red strawberries. "Strawberries, cake, eat."

Shekh took the strawberries, saying, "Grow more."

So Shi Jinzhe made her a bowl of strawberries and put them there to eat.

Seeing the red juice reminded Liang Fengzhi of the people on the seventh floor, so he went back to his room early to organize his thoughts and distract himself.

As she left, Lin Xian felt it inappropriate to stay. She accepted the sandwiches and candies that Shi Jinzhe had tossed to her and returned to the fifth floor together.

Shi Jinzhe boasted, "If only I had this kind of treatment when I entered the game, with an old player who liked me taking care of my food and living expenses."

"No, there are only tools that want to exploit you to the point of wanting to eat or die."

"Nonsense, how did you exploit me? You are my guarantee of survival, my wife. How could I live without you, my wife."

"Speak properly."
