Chen Qiang nodded, "We absolutely did not mean anything by it."

"Oh." Su Deng nodded lightly, her eyelids fluttering slightly. "No need."

Holding a sword in one hand and Su Muye's hand in the other, she said to Liu Sangua and the other two beside her, "Let's go find the door."

The group left together, walking along the dilapidated streets, their bodies enveloped in the shadows of the abandoned buildings on either side.

The four adults and one child were all quite thin, and there wasn't a single strong or tall figure in the group. They didn't seem like a threat at first glance, but no one dared to make a move.

Because the one wearing the veiled hat alone is enough to intimidate all the players.

But now there's another one, Su Deng.

He Shouteng cursed under his breath, "You're asking for it!"

Chen Qiang frowned slightly. "We should have known they wouldn't agree."

"If you two don't have a team, why don't you join us?" A soft female voice came from behind, her alluring fox-like eyes captivating and tingling like a feather brushing against the heart.

The two men were stunned for a moment, but quickly regained their senses.

Red Oriole smiled casually, "My team welcomes both of you."

This world seems to be the real world that Su Deng originally lived in.

Because she followed everything so familiar, she found her place.

In a not-so-glamorous place, Ba Bai rents a small one-bedroom apartment every month, but it has everything he needs.

However, the lighting wasn't very good.

Su Deng chose to rent this place not only because it was cheap, but also because she really liked the bed that came with the apartment.

Big and soft.

The refrigerator still contained the groceries and drinks/yogurt she had bought.

There were two small steamed buns on a plate on the kitchen table.

She didn't finish eating it all on the day the game started.

Su Deng ignored everyone else and collapsed onto the large bed. The soft, comfortable bed she hadn't felt in so long, the ceiling she saw every morning when she woke up, and all the familiar furnishings in the room...

Everything felt incredibly real, like stepping back into the real world.

[System Announcement - Currently, there are 51 surviving teams and 287 surviving players. This world begins a team-based combat tournament. There are two ways to win.]

First, there are 300 flags bearing the divine emblem in the city, and 20 strongholds. The team that finds and captures the strongholds first, and the team that finds the most flags, wins.

Second, enter team-based combat; the surviving team wins.

The intense challenges of the past few days had left everyone somewhat exhausted. Seeing that Su Deng had fallen asleep, Su Muye lay down beside her, intending to sleep as well. Qin Xian and Qiao Zhi also became drowsy.

Just as they were about to fall asleep, a sudden broadcast woke them all up.
