The team prize is a pair of binoculars for each person. Unlike ordinary binoculars, these binoculars can ignore all obstructions and directly observe selected individuals within a certain range.
For others, this prize might be somewhat useless. But for Liao Ning, it's the most useful thing. With the special telescope and her ability to pass through obstacles, her combat power can be increased to level 03.
As for Xia Chuhe's personal prize, the instance gave her a smoke effect. When she opened the gift pack, the smoke thoughtfully obscured the prize.
Xia Chuhe heard the dungeon announcement—
As a high-performing individual, the system is sending you a tailor-made prize; we hope you like it!
A simple wooden necklace lay quietly in the smoke.
The necklace is entirely black, with a plain black cord that looks like ebony wood. The wood is carved into the head of a taotie, except for a pair of eyes that are adorned with gold. At first glance, it appears quite rough, but upon closer inspection, it seems as if this little trinket has come to life.
Xia Chuhe picked up the necklace and "saw" its effect—to increase prestige and a subtle aura of dominance.
A subtle yet powerful aura of dominance?
Xia Chuhe smiled. She looked adorable; I liked it.
She put on the necklace.
The announcement sounded again in the instance—
Prizes have all been awarded. Would you like to proceed to the next round? As the winning team, re-entering the game will grant you an initial gift pack. Please select:
yes
certainly
Xia Chuhe: "..."
Liao Ning calculated the days: "Including the initial gate, we'll have at most two days in the instance. Do we want to continue participating in the game to win prizes? The options it gives all seem to suggest participation, right?"
"Think about the Red Team," Xia Chuhe reminded Liao Ning.
The fact that the option appears indicates that the game's intention is to encourage everyone to continue participating.
If you choose to participate, Xia Chuhe and others will become the initial team.
Compared to other games I've played, the initial team in the last game was the red team, and their team composition was indeed excellent. They had everything: a survival map, weapons, health packs, smoke grenades...
But their identity is that of human-machine interaction.
If Xia Chuhe were to participate in the game again, he feared he would become a bot himself.
After becoming a human-machine interface, can one still control their own destiny?
Xia Chuhe looked towards the other side of the cliff, where the bright green exit button was still next to the door where they had first come out.
"Let's quit," Xia Chuhe said.
They've missed their chance to get as close as possible to the core of the instance—the barrier that separates the game map. What lies beyond that barrier?
Games are great, but they also need anti-addiction mechanisms.
In just two days in the instance, the group experienced several crises, but under Xia Chuhe's leadership, they turned danger into safety and achieved victory.
No one raised any further objections to Xia Chuhe's arrangements.
Press the exit button to exit the instance early.
The items taken from the dungeon have also changed.
Blood packs have been replaced with medicines that can heal minor injuries; the detectors are still used to find things, but their range has been reduced to a radius of ten kilometers; the range of the communication headsets is also ten kilometers; and the most important live map has been replaced with a map that displays a radius of one hundred kilometers around, so that it can no longer show individual people, but only groups of ten or more people.
...
Xia Chuhe took the off-road vehicle out of the farm: "Let's go home."
Liao Ning, who was closest to the car, instinctively ran to the back seat and opened the door: "You can rest for a bit, I'll drive."
After two days of intense travel, Xia Chuhe was indeed exhausted, but he did not refuse.
Liao Ning closed the car door for her, humming a little tune, and got into the driver's seat.
Once she was seated, she realized... Wait, why did I do that just now??
Why do I feel like the city lord is so tall and imposing, and I really want to serve her? How did I become like this?
Bai Jiu, standing outside the car, gave Liao Ning a disdainful look.
Lackey!
I hate myself for being so slow to react!
Why wasn't I the one who performed well in front of the city lord?
03 As always, Wang Mei was cold-blooded, but she was full of thoughts.
The car, filled with people of all kinds of thoughts, sped back to Taotie City.
The journey back to the city was peaceful, but there was a small surprise in Taotie City.
The people sent by Guan Wuji to harass us have all been driven back, and there will be no further attacks in the near future.
Li Yue explained to Xia Chuhe, "I found an opportunity to let them know about the poison."
"They" refers to the canaries, those who were like Li Yue in the past.
Li Yue only needed to release a little information, and even the most well-informed canaries would receive it immediately. Verification was even simpler: the real drug had already been stolen by Li Yue and her group; they could only inject ordinary gene-enhancing drugs. Once it was confirmed that the gene-enhancing drugs were useless, they would immediately believe Li Yue's words.
What's even more interesting is that Guan Wuji suffered a minor backlash.
Opening a shop within the base not only allows you to gather information but also to make connections with powerful evolved individuals. And which evolved individual who makes frequent purchases doesn't possess some skill?
As soon as the message was responded to, Li Yue, with the help of 123, made contact with some of the people involved.
Many of the canaries are quite spirited and harbor rebellious thoughts. But before they can openly rebel, they need to find a way to remove the bombs implanted in their bodies.
The bomb is monitored by the upper-level system and will explode immediately if it shows any tendency to detach from the body. Only by operating within a dungeon, as Li Yue did before, and isolating the upper-level system, can it be safely retrieved.
However, since Li Yue has already emerged from the base, it will be difficult for them to enter the instance under Guan Wuji's close surveillance.
Li Yue told Xia Chuhe about this because she wanted to shirk some of her management duties for the new recruits and focus most of her energy on fighting Guan Wuji.
"I found a pretty good person during this dungeon run. You can mentor her for a while first, and then gradually hand over the tasks to her."
The person Xia Chuhe mentioned was Liao Ning.
Liao Ning possesses both strong combat skills and a good temperament, and most importantly, she has principles. Although they've only known each other for two days, Xia Chuhe can tell that she values her teammates highly, which is why she doesn't easily cooperate with others. If she could train an excellent team, she would definitely be able to unite them.
Actually, among the people who went to the dungeon this time, Xia Chuhe had someone he liked even more.
Wang Mei.
Wang Mei is a decisive person with strong adaptability and the courage to take risks.
Besides the loyalty shown in the follower's handbook, Wang Mei's personal qualities were also a reason why Xia Chuhe chose to let her go.
However, Wang Mei's current identity is not clean enough, and Xia Chuhe has to wait for her decision.
She wouldn't give Wang Mei much time. If Wang Mei continued to betray her own people in the future, she would eliminate her without hesitation.
Xia Chuhe also told Bu Yi about Wang Mei and Lu Xiaofeng, so that Bu Yi would be aware of the situation.
Because I didn't get to the core of this game instance, I didn't get much experience. My farm only leveled up once and currently has 48 acres of land, which is still far from Xia Chuhe's goal of 10,000 acres.
