Chapter 12 Treasure Appraisal 12
The Wei family is very big, and players only have three days to complete their mission.
In order to save time, several people decided to act separately.
Although the three rookies were trembling with fear at the thought of acting alone, they also understood that if they continued to act in a group, they would definitely not make it in time.
At that time, the ending will be that we will all be killed together.
Compared to now, it is a little more dangerous.
When allocating the search range, Yu Ke took the initiative to choose the area in the direction of Wei Yongsi's study.
Xiao Piaoliang planned to complete her personal task at the same time.
Seeing that she took that piece, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
The pressure from the big boss Wei Yongsi was too great for them, especially after they were forced to shut up and unable to move.
All players have deeply realized the huge gap in strength between themselves and the boss, which is like an insurmountable chasm.
As for the rookie Yu Ke, will it be dangerous if she goes there?
Recalling the interactions between Wei Yongsi and Yu Ke in the study, no one would worry about this issue at all.

The players scattered and went to the area they were responsible for.
On her way back to the study, Yu Ke searched every room she came across, but did not find anything that resembled a Buddha statue.
She walked towards the next room, and as soon as she pushed the door open and walked in, someone covered her mouth and took her behind the door, which was then quickly closed by that person.
The man's hands were too big and her face was too small.
Even though the man just wanted to cover her mouth to stop her from making any sound, his hand covered most of her face, including her small nose and mouth.
The soft flesh on the pretty little face was squeezed, and she almost couldn't breathe.
She raised her hand, grabbed the man's arm and pushed hard, but her weak force failed to move him at all.
She could only be held by the waist and pressed against the wall with her face covered, unable to struggle with tearful eyes.
"Quiet, I'll let you go if you can do that."
Yu Ke nodded quickly, not daring to make a sound, for fear of being stabbed by a knife.
After all, only the dead are the quietest.
The man slowly loosened his hand, and during the whole process, Xiao Piaoliang stood there obediently, neither struggling nor making any noise, and was very well-behaved.
After the man took a few steps back, Yu Ke could see the person in front of her clearly - it was player number three, Cheng Shuangping!
No one knew where these players who failed the test were taken to, and they have not been seen since they entered the Wei family.
I didn't expect that we would suddenly meet in this room.
Cheng Shuangping's face showed an unconcealable tiredness, and it was obvious that he had not had a good time during this period.
His voice was slightly hoarse, and his lips were dry and chapped. "I'm sorry, there was a reason. I had no choice but to take action."
What can Yu Ke say?
She couldn't beat Cheng Shuangping, and now she was in a close room with someone, so she had no right to care about anything.
The only choice is to forgive him.
She said aggrievedly, "It's okay." Her little mouth was pouting so much that an oil bottle could be hung on it.
Cheng Shuangping easily saw that the little beauty was insincere. He cleared his throat awkwardly and waved to call out another person hiding in the room - a female player.
Yu Ke's clear eyes were full of shock.
She couldn't even win in a 1v1, so how come the opponent had help?
Now the little beauty became even more obedient. She curled herself up into a ball and wished she could hide in the corner.
In order to show his sincerity, Cheng Shuangping first gave his name.
The female player obviously focused on him and followed him to announce her name: "My name is Zhong Mengyun."
After they finished speaking, they both looked at Yu Ke.
Yu Ke: ...I always feel that we cannot disrupt the formation.
She stammered out her name.
Then Cheng Shuangping explained to her the reason why the two of them were hiding in the room.

At that time, the players who failed the test were taken to the back door of the Wei family by NPCs and asked to leave on their own.
The NPC opened the back door and left.
The player looked out of the open back door and found that the world outside was shrouded in gray fog and nothing could be seen clearly.
No one knows whether there is any terrifying existence hidden in the fog.
Even new players don’t dare to walk out like this.
Someone couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Are we going out?"
No one answered him and the scene fell into silence.
The impatient new player couldn't help but say, "No, what are we going to do? Are we just going to stand here?"
His tone was not good at all. The players with bad tempers were not used to him. They sneered and choked: "What, are you tied up? Go do whatever you want, why are you shouting at anyone here!"
"You!" The impatient player couldn't stand the slightest provocation and walked right over to start a fight.
The war between the two was about to break out, but was stopped by a thin man.
"Hey, hey, hey, if you have something to say, just talk it over nicely. Don't do it, don't do it."
The two new players above didn't even take the skinny man seriously. They pushed him away and told him not to meddle in other people's business.
Unexpectedly, the man's next words completely calmed the two of them down.
The thin man claimed to be an old player named Hu Mao.
He said that ordinary players cannot leave the dungeon, and the area filled with gray fog is an absolutely dangerous area that players are prohibited from entering.
Although players’ lives may be in danger within the dungeon, at least there is a possibility of survival.
But once you leave the copy range, the end is certain to be death.
A new player questioned: "Is this true?"
Hu Mao has ordinary facial features and his temperament is even a bit cowardly.
He looks like a nice guy who's easy to bully, and what he says makes people feel that he's trustworthy.
He smiled innocently, "Really? If you don't believe me, you can go ask other veteran players. At least until now, I have never seen a player who can walk out of the gray fog alive. Not even one!"
The new player, who was originally wary of gray fog, was successfully persuaded by Hu Mao and asked him what to do next.
It seemed that Hu Mao was regarded as the leader.
Hu Mao: "The only way for us to leave the dungeon is to complete the main quest, so we must stay in the Wei family. We are all on the same page now, so we must unite, act together, and take care of each other."
He spoke clearly and the new players followed him.
Only Cheng Shuangping quietly left the main force and acted alone.
New players who have just entered the game have neither sufficient experience nor points to purchase items for self-defense.
It can be said that unless such a newcomer is gifted, he will only be a burden.
A group of encumbrances gathered together is not only useless, but also looks like a huge moving target, attracting the attention of NPCs.
No matter how you look at it, it's safer to act alone.
And that Hu Mao...
Are there really such kind-hearted old players in this game who are willing to take the newcomers through the game regardless of their own safety?
He doesn't believe it anyway.
What happened later indeed verified Cheng Shuangping's conjecture.
