Welcome to the Survival Match: Good vs. Evil!
[World Setting: This is a martial arts world of swords and shadows, a world of bloodshed and carnage! Good and evil clash! A hundred years ago, the white-robed swordsman "Canglang Sword Master" left behind a "Peace Stone - Color Quality," rumored to be capable of forging unparalleled divine weapons, causing a stir in the martial arts world. Both the Tianyong Sword Pavilion and the Youming Blood Sect dispatched experts to pursue and vie for it, drawing most of the righteous and evil masters into the fray, unable to remain uninvolved.]
[Please select your faction: 1. Righteous Path. 2. Evil Path.]
After players confirm their faction, their faction roles will be randomly assigned; please strictly adhere to the basic logic of your assigned role and refrain from any actions that violate that role.
[Escape Mechanism: Based on their own faction and role, players assist their faction in obtaining the "Peace Stone." All players in the faction that obtains the Peace Stone will know the escape location.]
......
The information prompt appeared before Su Lin's eyes, attracting his attention.
"Choose a faction?"
Su Lin murmured, "So, all the players in the same squad are essentially 'one of us'?"
"Not only that, there's another very important point!"
Xiao Linlin held Su Lin's large hand and whispered a reminder: "The faction that successfully obtains the Peace Stone only knows the escape point. This does not mean that the losers cannot escape... If handled properly, the outcome of the faction battle does not actually affect the final escape."
"In theory, it is very likely that a situation will emerge where players from the two main factions of good and evil unite and share escape points, which could actually allow more people to escape together."
"But I guess even if someone thought of this simplest way to escape, no one would be willing to do it."
Xiao Linlin sighed softly. She was referring to the [Peace Stone], a [Colored Quality] item clearly marked by the system!
Most importantly, the mechanism does not say that this thing cannot be obtained by players. The standard for determining the victory or defeat of a faction is that one faction obtains the [Peace Stone], and the players themselves represent one faction.
As the most valuable [Colored] reward in the entire escape game, regardless of its actual purpose, it will definitely attract all players to compete for it.
At that time, let alone players from both the righteous and evil factions joining forces to escape, players from the same faction will likely scheme against each other, and even small teams will develop rifts, all for the sake of monopolizing the [Peace Stone].
Even if everyone knows there is a “simple” way to escape quickly right in front of them, no one is willing to do it.
"What a clever scheme of using profit to lure people in! Even if there are one or two players with high moral character, they can't change the overall trend of the confrontation between the two sides."
Su Lin smiled faintly, he didn't care at all, since he was a lone wolf anyway.
"Big brother, should we go for good or evil?"
Xiao Linlin asked a question, her gaze falling on the faintly glowing area around her.
Within the safe zone where Su Lin was located, there were two small, glowing open spaces on the left and right sides, one white and one black. The direction one went to indicated which faction one had chosen.
Outside the safe space, the environment revealed a large courtyard filled with men and women dressed in various ancient costumes, some with swords at their waists, others with long knives on their backs, all exuding an extraordinary air.
The men and women were whispering to each other, but Su Lin couldn't hear them, and they couldn't see him either.
What's your suggestion?
Su Lin didn't make a hasty decision. Xiao Linlin observed the surroundings and analyzed, "Judging from our current environment, this is probably the beginning of a [game storyline]."
"I think the other players are in a similar situation. Considering the inherently unfair underlying logic of the game mechanics, the initial choice of faction in a survival game can directly affect the quality of the start."
"Hmm... let's choose [positive]."
Xiao Linlin pointed towards the righteous faction: "That location is closer to the crowd, so the NPCs outside should all be our own people. We shouldn't have too much pressure at the start."
"Not choosing [Evil]? I quite like being a villain."
Su Lin smiled, and Xiao Linlin blinked: "Big brother, you actually understand better than me that the so-called good and evil are in the heart, not on the surface; there are evil people on the righteous path and righteous people on the evil path, this is an obvious truth."
"Even the righteous have evil people? Hey, not bad, this is an interesting way to play."
Su Lin laughed and strode to the position of the faction's light circle.
[The "righteous path" faction has been confirmed, but can be switched at any time before the official start.]
Once the escape begins, it is impossible to switch factions.
As the information prompt appeared before him, Su Lin's body underwent a transformation. The modern combat suit he was wearing was transformed into a blue short-sleeved robe worn by a righteous martial arts practitioner, with only the Tang sword in his hand remaining unchanged.
The evolution of armor does not affect its specific defensive capabilities.
The use of technologically advanced weapons will not shock the world's native inhabitants; they will be automatically classified as "hidden weapons" or "unorthodox" weapons.
Su Lin glanced at the prompt, stood still and calmly adjusted his breathing, slowly circulating the Hunyuan Qi Gong to bring himself to the most perfect state.
Before long, the safe period had passed.
As the membrane in front of him slowly dissipated, the sounds of the crowd talking filled his ears, and Su Lin also saw a notification about the new effect of his talent.
[Congratulations! You have obtained a new in-game talent effect: All Laws Return to One.]
