Chapter 227 Ordinary Shout
Anson Deer opened his eyes and stood there in a daze.
What came into view was an empty classroom with ten pairs of desks and chairs neatly arranged in the classroom. He was sitting on one of the chairs.
I moved my eyes and looked out the window. The outside of the teaching building was a deep red world. The sky, the earth, and the buildings were all red, and their shapes were somewhat distorted, as if the space was being squeezed by some invisible force.
At this moment, a flock of pitch-black crows spread their wings and flew past. The red and black colors intertwined powerfully, accompanied by the hoarse cries of the crows. Anson Deer's eyes were greatly shocked.
Following him, the other nine players who participated in the dungeon also entered the classroom one after another and sat on the other nine pairs of tables and chairs. The gaps between the tables and chairs were not large, and his position was squeezed right in the middle.
"Is this the copy of 'Myth Chronicle'?" Yuliu's dark green eyes seemed to be filled with thought.
"Hey, why does it feel like this is another hellish copy?" Asuka Uesugi tilted her pretty face, looked around, and got goose bumps.
"I don't know." Anson Lu said disdainfully, "It's like this when I came in. According to the introduction, the style of the painting is quite normal. Is it a marketing scam now even the introduction of the dungeon?"
Urushihara Ritsu raised his eyebrows and scanned the classroom with his deep eyes, "Lu Jun, can you stand up?"
"I can't stand up." Anson Lu spread his hands, "Let's follow the copy rules and see what happens next."
Every time he tried to move his butt off the chair, a system prompt would pop up in front of him.
[You cannot leave your current location, please wait until the first day of class is over. ]
classroom?
What the hell is this? I don't think I have to go to class in a dungeon.
Anson Lu was puzzled, but he still waited quietly for the next step of the copy.
At this moment, the last player also entered the classroom. He turned his head and his eyes immediately focused on Anson Deer.
"Brother Lulululu?"
Maruyama Jun shouted in a hoarse voice, his face full of surprise and his voice almost trembling.
"Oh my god... Maruyama, yes, yes, it's Anson Lu!" Minoru Iwata next to him was also stunned.
"Stupid, I know that without you telling me."
"Maruyama, how come we are ranked with him? He is now the world's number one player!"
Adel, an American veteran sitting next to the two men, suppressed his excitement and explained, "This is a capital-level instance, and an extraordinary capital-level instance. It's normal for him to be in the queue."
Anson Lu waved to them and said lazily, "Hello, hello, long time no see."
Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru nodded nervously, unable to utter a word.
Anson Deer looked at the other person again.
The seats of Adel, Iwata Minoru, and Maruyama Jun were arranged next to each other from the far right. As for the person to the left of Maruyama Jun, he was an excellent person - a man who was as famous as a Sequence Player in the World Forum as an ordinary player.
"Then why are we queueing with this person again?" Maruyama Jun turned his head to look to his left, where there was a player who he found very outrageous.
Xiong Haodong moved his face towards the three of them and said tremblingly, "Hello, nice to see you again."
"Hello." Maruyama Jun was speechless.
He met Xiong Haodong in the seventh round of the copy, and this guy's performance really shocked him.
Maruyama Jun thought that he had been playing the evolution game for so long that he had seen the worst and most cowardly people, but after meeting Xiong Haodong, he was completely impressed. He thought to himself that this guy was so awesome. How could he survive to the seventh round of dungeon at only level 14?
"Maruyama, it's that idiot!" Iwata Minoru saw Xiong Haodong and shouted with his eyes wide open, "He wanted to hide his level and get experience from our team, but Uncle Adel saw through him."
"Hahahaha——" Asuka Uesugi's laughter came over.
Maruyama Jun smacked his lips and thought to himself that you are too disrespectful to others.
But there is no need to give face to such people.
At this time, Xiong Haodong was covered in cold sweat, and his neck and ears were red.
He didn't even dare to look to the left, because there were a bunch of ferocious-looking guys sitting there, from left to right - Chu Qimo, Urushihara Ritsu, Uesugi Asuka, Yuri, Anson Lu, and Yuliu Mena.
Even though it had been almost three months, he couldn't help but tremble in his legs when he saw Asuka Uesugi again, and he almost became incontinent - he still remembered how the red dragon threw him into the Atlantic Ocean.
That was so brutal, it was simply not something a human could do!
Maruyama Jun was very excited.
It was natural that he would be ranked together with Adel and Iwata Minoru, since they were from the same union and had used their privileges, but he did not expect to see people like Xiong Haodong and Anson Lu.
While the first round of the Hokkaido copy was still in progress, he added Adel and Yu Mingdao as friends.
After two rounds of dungeons, he, Adel and Minoru Iwata formed a private guild called "Red Alert".
Originally they had invited Yu Mingdao, but Brother Mingdao said that he still had goals he wanted to pursue, which was something that could only be done alone, so it was not suitable for him to form a group.
Maruyama Jun knew that Yu Mingdao had a gentle temperament and usually looked like a scholar and a caring uncle, but he also knew that this uncle had his own pride in his heart, so he gave up the idea of inviting him to join the union.
Both Adel and Iwata Minoru felt it was a pity.
After all, Yu Mingdao's strength is among the best among ordinary players, not to mention that he has certain leadership qualities. In most situations, he can win people's hearts in a very short time.
This is undoubtedly the most important ability for ordinary players.
After all, they are not like the sequence players, who possess supernatural powers far beyond ordinary people. Four sequence players are almost comparable to two legions of ordinary players.
In comparison, the only advantage of ordinary players is "unity" and "grouping".
In such an environment, an ordinary player with leadership qualities is much more popular than an ordinary player with super abilities, not to mention that Yu Mingdao has both.
Although he felt it was a pity, Maruyama Jun secretly made up his mind: he also wanted to become the best among ordinary players, lead other players to fight, and catch up with Yu Mingdao.
However, just after the sixth round of the dungeon ended, he just opened his friend list and saw that Yu Mingdao's name suddenly turned black, and a label with the words "killed player" appeared on the right.
Maruyama Jun was stunned for a while, and then felt a little sad. He wondered if Yu Mingdao had joined their union at the beginning, would the ending be different?
He and Minoru Iwata also used the only travel coupon to fly to Ancheng, China to see Yu Mingdao's grave, but of course, the soil under the tombstone did not contain Yu Mingdao's remains.
Every player who truly dies will simply disappear without a trace.
They were not qualified to be buried. This was the tragedy of ordinary people in that era. Maruyama Jun was also greatly shocked at that time and was depressed for a long time.
He always wondered, if even his spiritual idol Yu Mingdao had met such a fate, would he really be able to survive the apocalypse and still guide others?
He often watches TV.
First, let’s look at how those sequence players display their magical powers and how they easily accomplish things that are difficult for ordinary players to do in groups.
Then we see them being interviewed by the media, and they leave calmly amid the cheers and praises of the crowd using travel coupons that are worth thousands of dollars to ordinary players, leaving behind only a memorable back view.
Later, I saw those serial players appear on various entertainment programs designed to appease the public, and they gained explosive popularity around the world, with treatment comparable to that of former superstars.
Finally, Maruyama Jun understood a fact.
In such an era, the lives of people without talent are worthless and can be harvested at any time like weeds. Even sacrificing themselves for sequence players is their final destination.
Many players, unable to bear the pressure and choosing to commit suicide, will pay tribute to the Evolution Coins on them to the Evolution Foundation.
The foundation will use these evolution coins to train sequence players for the law enforcement team and the national team. As for the relief policies for the bottom players, they try to squeeze as few as possible, for fear of wasting resources on these grass.
There is no point in huddling together for warmth. No matter how many weeds there are, they are still weeds and may fall down if a gust of wind blows over them.
Even if a sequence player is alone, he can protect the weeds growing around him like a towering tree - they are so powerful and so talented, it is natural that they should draw nutrients from the weeds.
Resources, confidence, and a sense of superiority.
This is what ordinary players can provide to sequence players. The rest is to be cannon fodder and use their skills.
The world belongs to them... Later, Adel, Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru said this.
Adel also said that Yu Mingdao told him this in the Hokkaido copy. At first, Adel was unwilling to believe that a group of young people who were much younger than him could easily do something that he could not do.
He firmly believed that he was a veteran who had fought in the battlefield for a long time and his psychological quality was far beyond what these kids could compare to.
He believed that these experiences were special, and that he could still do something when he picked up the weapon again.
But this belief was soon shattered by the reality of dimensionality reduction.
Watching batches of ordinary players in the guild die, even one or two ordinary players died from the AOE skills of the sequence player, but because that sequence player finally succeeded in killing the dungeon Boss.
So, after the copy ended, the sequence player received cheers from everyone, while no one cared about Adel's dead teammate.
Adel was filled with rage but had nowhere to vent. Afterwards, he wanted to find the sequence player to argue, but the other party ignored him and just looked at the data panel while saying in a calm tone:
"I'm sorry, I was focusing on the Boss at the time. I was the only player in the dungeon. I couldn't rely on you guys, could I?"
Adel was even more annoyed. At that time, he was like a hysterical beast, with every pore dilated.
He showed his soldier's ID, talked about the glory he had won for the country, said he was a soldier who had been in and out of the battlefield countless times, and said, "You little brat, straighten your attitude right now! You actually spoke to me in this tone."
"Oh, what's the use of soldiers? Your output seems to be less than one-tenth of mine?" After a pause, the sequence player said:
"Let's take a step back and say that I'm the only Sequence player in the dungeon. Without me... you Muggles would have all died. And now, I just accidentally killed one of you. This is already the best outcome."
Adel was choked speechless.
He still remembered the grim number on his settlement panel - output percentage: 0.6%.
The output of this sequence player in the boss battle accounted for as much as 72%, which was not just ten times his, but more than a hundred times...
He couldn't imagine that if this sequence player was not there, would everyone have died, including him who survived, and Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru who also survived.
"By the way, remember not to make this public. If you don't tell anyone, no one will look through the video and notice that I killed an ordinary player with my clumsy hands. It's his bad luck."
"Why do you still look so unconvinced? How about this, I'll compensate you with evolution coins, or travel coupons? Isn't this what you ordinary players want the most? You can change cities to live in with it, and ordinary players can't get it."
"Just keep it to yourself. This is for your own good. We, the Sequence players, all have agents. If something goes wrong, the official will have to spend a lot of energy on marketing. Look at the Pope in the Law Enforcement Team, he was like that."
These were the last three sentences of the sequence player.
As casually as coaxing a child, the sequence player never turned around and looked at Adel from beginning to end.
Adel was also aware of the impatience in the other party's tone - if he took one more step forward, he might be crushed into slag by him.
After all, who would care about the life or death of an ordinary player...
No matter how loudly ordinary people shout, no matter how hysterically they shout, it will not be as loud as a snap of the fingers of those geniuses.
In the end, Adel chose to accept the other party's proposal, took back three travel scrolls and 10,000 evolution coins from the sequence player, and divided them between Maruyama Jun and Iwata Minoru.
As for the purpose of these three travel coupons, they are for a trip to Ancheng.
Otherwise, they would not even be qualified to leave their city, let alone visit Yu Mingdao's tombstone.

"Crow, were those things outside the window your doing?" Anson Deer asked in a low voice, looking at the crows flying in the red sky.
"Lu Jun, that's not my crow." Urushihara Ritsu said with a smile, "Please don't automatically think of me when you see a crow. It's probably deliberately arranged to create the atmosphere of the dungeon. It matches the red sky very well."
