CH 4.1

[No. 2-9101 “Ghost Animal” is opened for the first time. ]

[Welcome to Huaiyang Village. ]

[Dungeon task: Decipher the secrets of Huaiyang Village.]

[Mission time: 5 days (3 days equivalent at the base).]

[Huaiyang Village is an interesting village, I wish all players a happy visit. ]

[Reminder: All living beings in Huaiyang Village are equal.]

As soon as the system prompt ended, the faces of other players were a little ugly, but Ning Su didn’t notice, and he was also a little disappointed because it wasn’t a survival game.

The plan of being a salted fish now seemed dark.

Decryption was tiring.

“This Huaiyang village is between two big mountains. The mountain is full of locust trees. There are many black cats and black dogs at the entrance of the village. The Feng Shui is not very good. It gathers evil spirits and gathers yin without leaving wealth.”

“The dungeon is called ‘Ghost Animal’. Does the [ghost] word really meant a ghost? But this small village is so beautiful, it doesn’t fit the setting of a barren mountain village full of evil spirits.”

Ning Su turned his head when he heard that conversation and saw the little Taoist priest Su Xiangsheng and Zhu Shuangshuang.

Ning Su: “Why are you here?”

“I followed you and chased after you to the game lobby, just when the system prompted that the game was about to start, I saw you standing at the dungeon copy login entrance.” 

Su Xiangsheng said: “I didn’t expect that Zhu Shuangshuang would follow along and not stay at the game base for a few more days.”

The dungeon was very dangerous, the probability of serious injury or death was high, and most people would delay entering one until the last day.

“Since I’m destined to play anyway, what’s the use of delaying it?”

Zhu Shuangshuang said: “I’m a novice without points, and if I want to live on the game base, I have to rely on others. So why don’t I get used to the rules of survival here as soon as possible with people I’m familiar with? Maybe I can even gain survival skills.”

Su Xiangsheng said with a smile: “Okay, gutsy girl.”

They were talking on one side, when a fat man spat on the other side, “What bad luck! I already felt that there’s something wrong with your brain, even asking if a salted fish could survive in the dungeon. Did you think this life-threatening game was just a kids’ play?!”

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. “You can go directly into a dungeon, but you should figure out the situation first! Newcomers should go to a first-level dungeon, and yet you went to a second-level dungeon. Are you trying to harm us?”

One of his companions stopped him, smiling a bit nastily, “Don’t be angry, it’s fine if they come. Every dungeon has a death quota, anyway.”

Just entering the dungeon, the three of them felt the malice of the veteran players, and understood the relationship between people here.

Harmony and friendship that existed in the real world could not be found here.

Fortunately, not all veteran players were like this.

A total of 12 people entered the game. Ten people who were standing in front of the light screen, and Su Xiangsheng and Zhu Shuangshuang who had just entered the game lobby.

Besides the three novice players, the other nine veteran players seemed to not be in the same group as how they stood in two teams.

The man in the windbreaker on the other side said: “The important thing about a decryption dungeon is to collect clues. New players are not necessarily worse than veteran players.” He glanced at the five people over there and added, “This kind of dungeon is for cooperation and sharing of clues, otherwise, if we can’t reveal the secret in five days, we will all die.”

The straight-haired woman beside him nodded. “You’re right. What the two novice players just said has valid information.”

The fat man who mocked them seemed to be a little in awe of these two people. Still, he couldn’t help but said: “Then what about the stupid boy in the middle? You heard what he said in the game hall, right?”

The straight-haired woman asked Ning Su: “Little friend, did you find anything?”

There were 12 of them. The place where they appeared after entering the dungeon was on the side of the high road, close to the village. Standing here, they could see the whole place.

Inside this dungeon, it was over eight o’clock in the morning, and the warm yellow sun that was not too hot filled the whole village. The beautiful houses shone with fragments of light.

Ning Su glanced around and his gaze finally landed on these small houses. He said seriously, “This village seemed to be very rich.”

“...”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” the fat man shouted, clearly annoyed by Ning Su’s answer.

The man in the black robe who had been silent until now glanced at his companions, including the fat man and the one with a nasty smile, and led the four of them into the village first.    

Zhu Shuangshuang was afraid that Ning Su would mind the other’s attitude. Seeing a look of disappointment on his face, she asked him: “Ning Su, what are you thinking?”     

His reaction was not at all like the boy in the bus who caressed the face of the weird female driver, which almost invoked her maternal love.     

The man and woman who spoke for them just now came over, straightened the girl and said, “Hello, my name is Chen Qing, and this is my brother Chen Tian.”     

Zhu Shuangshuang opened her mouth and briefly introduced the three of them.
