Chapter 44 NPCs Kill All Players (6)
"A new day has begun. Welcome to the holographic survival game 'First Night'."
Here, you can rediscover your true self, meet more friends, and embark on a thrilling and adventurous journey.
The new map is now available! Complete the first five levels to unlock it. The little sprite wishes everyone a wonderful day, and hopes you and your teammates will work together to survive to the end!
In just one second, the number of players logging into the game surged to 20 million.
This game has long become a second world for people. Some people seek a living here, while others completely abandon reality and become permanent residents.
As agreed, Gu Han and He Xin went online at the same time.
The two characters were depicted as a sexy loli with twin ponytails and a tough Western man in workwear. Gao Li stood beside them, started a live stream, and shouted loudly at the camera.
"Today our team has invited two special guests! Now let Sister Xin and Brother Han introduce these two masters!"
A team of five people.
The extra couple was a girl in a simple and neat leather jacket with a high ponytail, and a girl in a similarly simple outfit, carrying a backpack and wearing a jacket and jeans, with striking silver hair.
The live stream viewers were immediately bombarded with comments as soon as they saw it.
[Holy crap!! The third-ranked player on the Chinese server, Qiao An, and the fourth-ranked player, Q!]
[To see Joan and Q team up for a mission in my lifetime, is this team planning to clear all twelve levels?]
【Joan!! Ahhhhh, my goddess Joan!!】
[I'm definitely watching this live stream today! I was just struggling with level six, but with this lineup, the first ten levels will be a breeze!]
[Hahaha, I heard they died in the first level yesterday, losing hundreds of thousands of points, so today they've brought this huge lineup to save face!]
[You bastard Gao Li, shove the camera right in my goddess's face, thank you.]
The team was now fully prepared and ready to go.
He Xin and Gu Han were just about to introduce their new friend when, before they could even open their mouths, they both blurted out something in unison.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
He Xin asked in surprise.
"You two knew each other before?"
Q looked at Qiao An with a meaningful expression, smiled slightly, and there was an ambiguity in the smile that others could not understand.
"Yes, we know each other. We met not long ago."
Qiao An merely glanced at him indifferently before turning her gaze away and speaking crisply and decisively.
"Don't waste time, try to clear the first map before the server shuts down today."
"The First Night" has four maps, each with twelve levels, which represents the ceiling that ordinary people can reach.
The next three levels are more complex, dangerous, and exciting. Those who can pass the second level are either technical geniuses or whales (people who spend a lot of money on in-game purchases).
The third map represents the pinnacle that top-tier players, both skilled and those who spend a lot of money, can achieve.
The last map is the battlefield for the game's top-tier players.
The annual world competitive tournament, or MNG Global League Tournament for short, is held on the fourth map.
For skilled players like Gao Han and He Xin, the ultimate goal is the second map.
As for top-tier players like Qiao An and Q, they are already regulars on the fourth map.
Of course, clearing customs is not an option for now.
Currently, there is no one in the world who has completed all maps.
Therefore, it can be seen that for the experts who come back to the first map from the fourth map, it's basically like strolling in their own backyard, and the remaining three can just follow behind and hide.
As long as they don't intentionally lie down in front of the monsters and get themselves killed, the first map will be a breeze even without firing a single shot.
He Xin said in a low voice.
"Qian, this is a professional gaming companion I hired for 200,000 yuan. How did you meet her?"
"A college classmate, but I don't know exactly who it is, since these people are very concerned about their real-life identities."
"Didn't spend any money?"
"No."
He Xin looked shocked.
How could a pro player of this caliber waste time playing the first map with newbies like them?
"Why worry so much? The 200,000 is well spent. Once we get to the second map, we can easily earn that money back."
The second map is full of raw ores, which are very valuable in the game.
After the five of them briefly introduced themselves, Joan and Q walked ahead to the first checkpoint. They didn't even take any weapons, and their leisurely stroll was more relaxed than when they were walking in their own backyard.
"Hey, pretending not to know me? You didn't treat me like this last week at the PUBG Mobile bar on the third map."
Q followed Qiao An around nonchalantly, his eyes filled with nothing but her.
Qiao An glanced at him, pushed open the door and went to the first floor. Without even raising her hand, Q next to her simply and neatly took out a knife, and after throwing it, the blade elegantly and neatly took down the security guard and several patients on the first floor.
Throughout the entire time, his eyes never left Qiao An.
"A one-night stand in a game, you actually took it seriously?"
"Wow, that's so hurtful! I'm so innocent. My first time in a game and my first time in real life have to be with the same person, oh dear..."
[These two, don't they have any respect for the NPCs? Hahahaha, they didn't even glance at them! Where does that leave the NPCs' dignity?]
[This is a top-tier player in the fourth map; even opening your eyes when facing this NPC is an insult!]
In the dim and damp environment, the crazy old lady on the second floor let out a terrifying "giggle giggle" laugh. Q went straight to the second door in the corridor, opened the door, grabbed the old lady who was about to rush out without turning his head, and then killed her with a single stab.
He kept looking at Qiao An as he drew his sword.
"How about this, you don't need to lift a finger today. If I can take down all four of you by myself, how about you grant me one request?"
"I'm here to get things done for money; I don't need your help."
After saying that, Qiao An drew her gun, aimed three shots at the first door, two shots at the cabinet beside her, one shot at the ceiling, and finally, without even looking, she turned around and fired two shots at Gu Han's back.
He Xin screamed in fright.
Then he watched as the crazy child behind Gu Han slowly collapsed to the ground.
The monster that took them more than ten minutes to take down yesterday, Joan took care of it in just a few shots without batting an eye.
[So cool!!! Joann!!! I love you!!!]
[NPC: Huh? You're not even giving me a chance to show my face?]
[Sister Qiao: Even glancing at it twice is disrespectful to the gun in my hand]
He Xin and Gu Han whispered to each other behind them.
"Wow, that's amazing! She knows every single NPC here like the back of her hand. We'll definitely be able to clear the game today!"
"After all, it cost me hundreds of thousands! If such an expensive sparring partner isn't good, then I'd be a fool!"
"Hurry up and catch up."
