Chapter 007
[Bullet comment]: Look at that beautiful sister, why isn’t she leaving yet? The NPC is coming soon.
[Bullet screen]: Yeah, what’s going on? Are you going to hold your own team back?
"Why haven't you left yet?" Tong Le saw that Shi Jiu had not left yet, so she immediately turned back without going far.
"Wait a minute." Shijiu looked up at the direction of the NPC. There was still some time before the NPC rushed over. Shijiu pointed to a corner and said, "Try using your hammer."
"Do you think this place is a node?"
"Um."
Gu Jie and Jin Chen also came back. They lowered their eyes to look in the direction Shi Jiu pointed.
Jin Chen frowned, not quite believing it. "Let's go, don't waste time here. How could this strange circle node be at the starting point?"
Gu Jie also agreed: "Yeah, I also don't think it will be that simple."
Tong Le ignored the two men and looked up in the direction of the NPC.
It was too late. Even if they ran now, there was no time left. She opened her hands, and a huge hammer appeared beside her. Tong Le grasped the hammer's handle and used all his strength, "Get out of my way!"
Gu Jie and Jin Chen quickly moved out of the way.
There was a loud bang, as if something was broken.
【Bullet screen】: WTF, this is amazing, it’s so fast? ?
【Bullet screen】: Magical, magical.
[Bullet comment]: The girl with the hammer is so cool!!! I want to vote for her!!
[Bullet screen]: Awesome, awesome! This is the fastest team I have ever seen to get out of the weird circle!
Gu Jie stared at the somewhat illusory space in front of him in a daze, "Oh my god, it's actually a node."
Tong Le forcefully grabbed the equally stunned Jin Chen and jumped directly into the virtual node in front.
The giant panda was already nearby. Shi Jiu held Jin Meng with one hand and Gu Jie with the other, and left in a flash.
They had just entered the game's strange circle, a place similar to a game fantasy. If they couldn't find a way out, 90% of the players would be eliminated by the game NPCs.
The game only truly begins when players officially break through the vicious circle.
"We're out!!" Gu Jie was a little unbelievable at first, then turned his head to look in the direction of Tong Le and Shi Jiu.
Tong Le didn't smile, her expression was still very serious as she looked in another direction.
After coming out of the strange circle, they were still in the deep forest dungeon, but the trees here had become more normal, a bright green, not the depressing black in the strange circle.
There were weeds, tree roots and green vines under their feet.
The big green trees still reach the sky, the sky is very blue, and the sunlight shines through the leaves, and faint light and shadow can be vaguely seen.
【Beware of hunters.】
Such instructions appeared on their wristbands.
"Be careful of the hunters." The smile on Gu Jie's face suddenly disappeared. His intuition told him that this dungeon was not as easy as he had imagined.
"Hunter, how could there be a hunter?" Jin Meng was a little confused.
It turns out that this dungeon not only has NPCs, but also hunters?
"This might be a linked copy." Shi Jiu observed it and said.
"Linked copy?" Tong Le and Jin Chen frowned together.
As veteran players, they also understand the significance of cross-domain dungeons. In the past, cross-domain dungeons could be played across normal game levels. Players also have levels, and generally, when randomly matched, players are matched with teammates of similar levels. However, cross-domain dungeons are different. Cross-domain dungeons ignore level matching, allowing even novice players to easily match with experienced players.
Therefore, the appearance of the linked copy here means that there are other players in their copy, and they are most likely not players from Class F.
They encountered a copy that was not easy to conquer right from the start. Tong Le and Jin Chen looked unhappy when they realized what was going on.
There are rewards for clearing the game, and the game rewards can also be used in the first round of the final elimination match. However, if you fail to clear the game, it means that you have wasted your time and have not received any rewards.
"Let's get out of here quickly..." Shi Jiu found something wrong. Before she could finish her words, a strange and harsh sound wave suddenly sounded not far away. It was like an aggressive musical instrument.
"Cover your ears!"
At the same time, a sharp sword flew over and almost hit Jin Meng. Fortunately, Shi Jiu reacted quickly and pulled her back.
The sonic attack continued. The others who had played the game were fine; their reflexes were sharp and they weren't affected much. But Jin Meng couldn't stand it anymore. She covered her head with her hands and squatted on the ground, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Ajiu, I feel so dizzy and uncomfortable." Jin Meng's voice was not loud, her eyes were red and she was about to cry.
Shi Jiu looked up at the direction of the sound, which was behind the big tree trunk. Her initial weapon, the small wooden stick, appeared in her hand. Shi Jiu moved her hand and threw the stick out. After Shi Jiu finished these movements, she squatted down in front of Jin Meng and reached out to cover her ears. "It's okay, it won't hurt in a while."
The sound waves gradually stopped, and without the interference of sound, Jin Meng finally felt better.
"Are you okay?" Tong Le also came over and asked.
"Much better." Jin Meng reached out and wiped the tears that were still welling up in her eyes and that she had been holding back.
Two people appeared from beneath a nearby tree. They were dressed in pink, a man and a woman. The man emerged first, a sword in hand, his eyes dark. His features were well-proportioned, his eyes narrowed, a hint of aggression. He had a few tattoos on his arms, giving him a rather saucy demeanor.
In comparison, the girl holding the pipa next to him was not that stunning. Her facial features were very ordinary and her appearance was not very memorable.
【Bullet comment】: Holy crap, holy crap, pink clothes! She's from Class A? ?
【Bullet screen】: Ahhhhhh it’s Brother Han, Brother Han is so handsome!!!
[Bullet Comment]: Oh my god, is this guy still a high school student? I remember watching his live broadcast before!
[Bullet screen]: Yes, yes, the male idol of Wuzhou No. 1 High School!!
[Bullet screen]: Come to think of it, do you think that girl in Class F looks familiar?
"They are two trainees from Class A." Gu Jie took a step back, his face looking a little unhappy.
"Who threw that stick just now?" The boy in Class A didn't look very happy. If you looked closely, you could see that his forehead was slightly swollen, as if he had been hit by something.
When Shijiu threw her weapon, no one else saw it except Jin Meng who was beside her. Gu Jie looked back at the people behind him in confusion. The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, and finally someone spoke, "It was me."
The boy from Class A looked at Shijiu. His gaze was truly strange and aggressive, like he was stalking prey. Jin Meng, who was standing next to Shijiu, took a step forward, trying to block her. Although she felt a little scared, she still wanted to protect her.
The moment the boy saw the wine, his gaze paused slightly. A hint of disgust and ridicule appeared in his eyes: "Warm wine?"
"Do you know each other?" Jin Meng looked back at Shi Jiu in confusion.
Wen Shijiu's memory became clearer, and Shijiu saw some things about the boy in front of him in Wen Shijiu's memory.
His name is Yu Sihan.
He is Wen Shijiu’s ex-boyfriend.
Although he was her ex-boyfriend, they had only been in a relationship for a few days before Wen Shijiu was dumped by Yu Sihan. Yu Sihan had agreed to be her boyfriend because he was just playing with her and taking advantage of her. But Wen Shijiu still liked her humbly and never gave up on her love for Yu Sihan.
The scarf she knitted for him day and night was thrown into the trash by him, saying he didn't want something from a lunatic. The cakes she made all night were given to other girls by him, and he even flirted with her in front of her.
Because of a joke, he said that she looked good in makeup and could attract traffic to his live broadcast room. Wen Shijiu would put on ugly makeup every time she played the game, even though she knew that she would be laughed at by many people.
Because of Yu Sihan, Wen Shijiu was often targeted by girls after she entered high school. They would throw dirty things on her clothes, mock her and call her a lunatic, saying she was misbehaving and seducing men. Therefore, no one in high school wanted to be friends with Wen Shijiu.
Shi Jiu also saw a memory.
During a physical education class, Yu Sihan was thirsty but had no water. Wen Shijiu's class happened to be in class, so he went over to ask Wen Shijiu to buy him some water. Wen Shijiu's physical education teacher was very strict and didn't allow students to go to the canteen during class. Because Yu Sihan wanted to drink water, Wen Shijiu secretly went to the canteen to buy him some.
Her luck was not very good and the physical education teacher found out. With some classmates making sarcastic remarks and adding fuel to the fire, the physical education teacher got angry and punished her by making her run ten laps around the playground.
Wen Shijiu's leg was injured at the time, and by the end of the race, she couldn't run at all. Her leg was in so much pain that she limped uncomfortably. Yu Sihan, however, showed no guilt at all. He held the water Wen Shijiu had given him and joined the other students in mocking her, as if she deserved it.
After recalling the memory of warming Shijiu, Shijiu felt a pang of relief in his chest.
Originally, the man in front of her looked okay, but now in her eyes, he was so ugly that the more she looked at him, the more she disliked him.
More than that, Shijiu really wanted to slap Wen Shijiu and wake her up. Why did such a beautiful girl become so humble and unconfident for a man? This bastard was not worthy of her at all.
Shijiu saw in Wen Shijiu's memory that this man, taking advantage of Wen Shijiu's affection, often said strange things to her and belittled her confidence. Wen Shijiu was like his plaything, he would reach out to play with her when he needed her, and throw her aside when he didn't. Anyway, Wen Shijiu would never leave him.
Shi Jiu silently clenched his fists.
[Bullet comment]: This team is so unlucky that they met Class A players at the very beginning.
【Bullet comment】: I suddenly remembered who the girl opposite me was! You can check out the Wuzhou No. 1 Middle School forum!
【Bullet screen】: Oh my god, I go to the same school as her!!!
[Bullet comment]: It is said that she also stole other people's boyfriends and behaved improperly. She was almost fired before.
[Bullet screen]: Come eat melons, sisters.
"What's wrong with you, Ajiu?" Jin Meng noticed that something was wrong with Shijiu. He was fine just now, but now she could clearly feel that Shijiu was angry.
"It's okay." Shi Jiu breathed out softly, "I just wanted to beat someone up."
Yu Sihan, standing across from him, sneered and glanced sideways at his teammates. They shrugged, completely ignoring them. After all, they were from Class F; meeting them was just a way to get killed.
They are getting ready to take action.
In this dungeon, they are hunters and need to eliminate ten prey players before they can complete the dungeon mission.
Yu Sihan clenched the sword in his hand, and the female teammate behind him had already placed her hands on her pipa.
War is imminent.
[Bullet screen]: Oh my go, look at the bosses’ eyes, it’s about to start, it’s about to start.
【Bullet comment】: I love watching the big guys slaughter the newbies!!
[Bullet screen]: A second of silence for Team F, hahaha, it’s too difficult.
"Should we run?" Jin Meng asked in a low voice, somewhat at a loss.
"Don't run. The distance is too close and we can't run at all." Tong Le said behind Jin Meng.
But before the people in Class A could take action, they heard a loud noise not far away.
They all looked up, and at that moment, a huge ball of fur fell from the sky. It was black and white, and upon closer inspection, it seemed familiar.
Before anyone could react, the fur ball landed on the two people from Class A. Its body was really huge, and it was covered with a lot of fur, completely covering the two people below. It was unknown whether the people below were still alive.
Everyone: “…”
[Bullet screen]: Hahahahahahahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I have nothing to say except WTF.
[Bullet comment]: The first player to be crushed to death by an NPC was a trainee from Class A.
【Bullet screen】: This is too embarrassing hahahahaha!!
"Pfft." Gu Jie thought he was going to be eliminated, but unexpectedly he got lucky and crushed his opponent. He couldn't help laughing.
The giant panda also looked at them with an innocent expression.
"Let's go." Tong Le kicked Jin Chen and said to his teammates behind him.
Although the NPC helped them unexpectedly, the mission of the NPC in this dungeon is to eliminate the players. They still have a chance to leave before the giant panda reacts.
Gu Jie smiled and turned back to clasp his fists: "Brother! Thank you!!"
After saying that, he quickly slipped away.
The maze dungeon was indeed a maze dungeon, full of twists and turns, and it was impossible to find the exit of the forest. At first, they tried hard to find the exit, but then they found that the surrounding environment was very complex and kept changing. They couldn't even remember the way.
After walking for about three hours, everyone finally vomited blood.
"I really don't know what the game designer did. It's really too perverted." Jin Meng complained.
"Yes, he is a genius after all. Geniuses' brain circuits are indeed powerful." Gu Jie was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I heard that he passed away in his twenties. It's really a pity."
"Well, it's said that she was the daughter of the CEO of a leading gaming company. The game was suspended for three months after her death."
"The game was very popular at the time. I don't know what they were thinking, but they abruptly stopped it for three months."
"Even if you don't tell me, you still say it has something to do with the young master of the Gu family?"
Shi Jiu followed them silently and listened to their gossip. She just smiled and didn't interrupt. Until she heard what Tong Le said, Shi Jiu was slightly stunned and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"It seems something happened and he became a vegetable." Tong Le thought for a moment and said, "But that happened many years ago."
"Young Master Gu seems to have made games before. It is said that he has a very high IQ and was admitted to the scientific research department of Ivy League University at the age of sixteen." Jin Meng said admiringly.
Ivy League University is the best university in the entire galaxy. It is extremely difficult for such a large population to get in. It is said that those who can get in are all geniuses.
"I seem to have heard another version before. It was said that Young Master Gu became a vegetable because he was trapped in the game and couldn't get out of it."
"Someone even said that the three months the game was suspended was because of him."
"But wasn't it later clarified that it was because of a game glitch?"
"Hahaha, it's just a rumor. I don't know if it's true or not."
After circling around and not finding the exit, everyone finally gave up and simply found a place to sit down and rest. A day had already passed, and as long as they could survive for another two days, they would have successfully passed the level.
This place was very secluded, with huge green leaves everywhere, which protected them well. As long as they didn't leave on their own initiative, no player would likely find them.
"Brother Jie, you are so awesome. You actually found such a great place." Jin Meng looked left and right curiously.
"Hehe, I just happened to find it."
Just as Gu Jie finished speaking, Jin Meng suddenly turned around. Her expression was serious and her tone was anxious. "Hush, come here quickly."
Jin Meng spoke softly, still in the position of lifting a leaf beside her. Gu Jie immediately leaned over and lowered his voice, "What's wrong?"
"Look." Jin Meng lifted the leaves again.
They peered through the gaps in the leaves. They were now high above, with a small clearing not far below them. In the center of the clearing was a large, black and white furry ball, trapped by something resembling vines. The vines had barbs, and the panda howled in pain.
"The NPC was captured. What are they doing?" Jin Meng frowned.
In front of the giant panda is a team wearing yellow clothes with the letter D on their backs.
A trainee in Class D.
"It should be that the copy tasks for trainees in each class are different." Gu Jie said in a deep voice.
"Look over there." Tong Le pointed in a direction.
Not far from the D-class trainees, there were several people hiding behind a tree. They were the E-class trainees.
"Oh my god, is this a sneak attack?"
"There's more." Shi Jiu suddenly said, "Look at the one o'clock and ten o'clock directions."
Everyone looked in the direction Shijiu mentioned, and found that there was also a small team lying in ambush at one o'clock. They were lying in ambush behind Class E.
There were also people at ten o'clock, but they were not many, only three. They were wearing green training uniforms and hiding in the bushes, which was indeed not easy to be discovered. Jin Meng looked for a while before she found someone in the bushes.
"There are fewer trainees in the advanced class. The trainee in the bushes must be from Class B," Gu Jie deduced. "Then the one in the front must be from Class C."
"Wow, they're ambushing one after another." Jin Meng sighed, "I guess all the trainees are here, except for the two who were crushed by the NPC."
"almost."
"I didn't expect that we would be the last ones to come."
[Bullet comment]: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! No nesting dolls!!
[Bullet screen]: You didn’t expect it, right? The oriole is behind, the oriole is behind, the oriole is behind the behind.
