Chapter 177: Entering the Horror Dungeon
Chapter 177 Entering the Horror Dungeon - Shared Rental (Thank you everyone!)
At noon.
A black Santana was driving in Lucheng.
Most residents of Lucheng are familiar with this car and its special license plate, and know that it is the vehicle used by the Countermeasures Bureau.
This represents identity, status, and the most precious sense of security.
After the second public beta, more residents became horror game players, and challenging dungeons began to have an impact in reality.
The cruelty in the horror game and the weird things that happened in reality have increased their insecurity. They want to join the Countermeasures Bureau, so that they can have an organization to hold together and keep warm, hold on to this strong thigh tightly, and try to increase their chances of survival. Let their families also live in a safe circle, without having to worry all day long.
They were extremely envious of the people sitting in the car.
When will I be able to join the Countermeasures Bureau and sit in this exclusive car?
However, some people began to realize that the direction the car was heading seemed to be a little wrong.
"This car seems to be heading towards Xingfu Community!"
"Hiss! Are we going to challenge that nightmare-level challenge dungeon 'Shared Rental' again?"
"I heard that there were two waves of very powerful players who went in before. They were all masters in the Countermeasures Bureau, but they all got killed in there and never came out."
"That's the downside of joining the Countermeasures Bureau. Once you enjoy the benefits, you have to follow orders. If you are told to go, you have to go. You have no choice. Independent players are more free."
"If I give you a chance to join the Countermeasures Bureau, would you join?"
“Then you must join!”
"Alas - let's hope they can succeed. The previous extremely difficult challenge dungeon got out of control and affected several small communities. If the nightmare dungeon gets out of control again this time, Lucheng might be gone."
"Let's run! This is a nightmare level difficulty! How can it be solved so easily?"
"Run? Where to run? There are challenge dungeons everywhere now. The situation in Lucheng is relatively good, but the out-of-control dungeon in the neighboring Macheng has not been resolved yet."
……
There were four people in the black Santana.
Zhan Shen was still driving, Su Ming was sitting in the passenger seat, and then there was Zhang Tieshu and the anxiety patient.
They are all relatively familiar acquaintances.
In fact, if there were not enough people to start the challenge dungeon, Su Ming would have simply rescued himself and cleared the dungeon alone.
His requirements for the three pendants are also very simple. Just be obedient and don't mess around and add more variables to his life.
There is no choice in normal horror copies, and teammates are randomly assigned by the horror game. However, it is different in challenge copies, as you can choose teammates by yourself, so naturally you have to choose those who are more obedient.
Players who have played games or cooperated with him are the first choice.
Zhang Tieshu was the only one who had never played a dungeon with him, but he had seen his operations with his own eyes and had a high level of trust in him.
Even if others had heard that Su Ming's performance in the dungeon was quite impressive, most of them did not know the specific details.
And I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so the feeling is not real enough.
In the end, the places for Su Ming's three teammates fell on these three people.
Su Ming spoke again and emphasized: "I'll say it again. After entering the dungeon, listen to my instructions and don't act smart and mess around."
"Otherwise, if you kill yourself, you might also screw other players."
Zhan Shen: "No problem! I'm the most obedient. I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"
If I can pass this nightmare-level challenge dungeon, I will be one step closer to obtaining extraordinary powers.
Better than he had gone through several low-level horror copies himself.
The anxiety patient also had a fanatical look on his face: "Boss, even if you ask me to jump into a fire pit, I won't even frown!"
Zhang Tieshu agreed deeply: "If the boss asks me to jump into the fire pit, then the fire pit must be the way to survive!"
Su Ming was very satisfied with the attitude of the three people, but he continued: "The situation in the dungeon changes rapidly, and there may be some accidents. I can only try my best to let you pass the level alive, but I can't guarantee it completely. You must be mentally prepared."
Zhang Tieshu: "We understand. After all, this is a nightmare-level instance, so how can there be no risk? Even in a normal-level horror instance, people will die."
Anxiety patient: "Just do your best, big brother. If we really have to die, it's just our bad luck. We don't blame you."
Zhan Shen steered the wheel with a calm expression: "I have died once, and now I am very satisfied to be able to come back. If I really die, I will just regard it as returning the life I earned."
When we drove near Xingfu Community, we couldn't see anyone there.
This was originally the area affected by the out-of-control copy "Security Booth on Duty", and the personnel had been evacuated long ago.
Even if the out-of-control copy has been resolved, the evacuated people will not be able to come back immediately.
Xingfu Community was once one of the most modern communities in Lucheng, and housing was hard to come by. However, with the passage of time, it has now become just an old, outdated and dilapidated house.
The residential building inside is only five stories high. The building has faded to the point where it is difficult to distinguish its original color, and the wall paint has fallen off and is full of potholes.
As residents aged, died or moved away, the occupancy rate had dropped to less than 20 percent before the evacuation.
Even the property management company of the residential complex went bankrupt some time ago because it couldn't make any money.
The happy community is not happy.
Santana drove into the entrance of the community, and the surrounding environment began to gradually become blurred.
[Entering the nightmare-level challenge dungeon "Shared Rental"...]
【Copy Name: Shared Rental】
[Difficulty: Nightmare]
[Number of people: 4]
[Explanation: You are a child who grew up in a small mountain village. You have longed for the colorful world outside since you were young. According to the stories told by foreign tourists, there are all kinds of delicious food, sweet milk tea, coffee, and wine. In a place called an Internet cafe, you can watch movies, read the news, and play video games on the computer at will...]
[Even though the elders in the village repeatedly warned you that the outside world was tempting but also full of terrible dangers, you still took the bus without hesitation, left your hometown, and went to a town called "Gray Town", wanting to experience this beautiful world, stand out, and make a name for yourself.]
[Now, you have arrived at the destination of this trip - Gray City. Friendly reminder, you'd better find a place to stay as soon as possible before dark.] [Basic task: Return home in glory.]
……
[It has been detected that the player has awakened extraordinary abilities. The original code name "Gamer House" is difficult to accurately describe the player. 】
[The gamer tag has been reset.]
[Original code name: Game House. ]
[Reset the next generation name: Miracle Master. 】
[The player's personal panel has been updated. ]
……
"Hey! Four country bumpkins, wake up! We've arrived at the station!"
Su Ming woke up with a start and found himself sitting on a bus, in the last row.
Through the window, you can see that this is a parking spot at the street intersection. There is a tree outside, and blue and yellow shared bicycles are parked in a crisscross pattern next to the tree. There are also many people queuing up waiting to get on.
This is the station in the horror game. The time point after entering the game is earlier than that in the CD game. In the CD game, after entering the game, you have already decided which room to rent and are in the elevator, but here you have just got off the bus and need to find a room by yourself.
This situation also happened in previous horror games.
Su Ming noticed that the code name above his head had been replaced with [Miracle Worker].
A miracle is turning the impossible into the possible.
I have completed nightmare-level tasks perfectly many times, which is a miracle.
Moreover, this extraordinary ability of deviation can also turn the impossible into possible and create miracles.
It's quite appropriate, and it's hard to associate his extraordinary abilities with just the code name, which is wonderful.
Next to him are [Standing God] [One Two Three Four Five Six] and [Anxiety Patient].
The person with the code name [One Two Three Four Five Six] is naturally Zhang Tieshu.
As for the one who was shouting, it was the bus driver, a middle-aged woman with long hair dyed into big golden waves, broad shoulders and a big waist, like a small mountain, which made the pink cross-body bag on her body look quite miniature.
She glanced at Su Ming and the other three, pointed at the door and said, "Country bumpkin, is this your first time riding a bus? After all, there is no such high-end transportation in your village."
"This is where you get off. Once you get off, you will see the Third Street of our Gray City. It will definitely open your eyes."
The station god and the anxiety patient looked around, and their faces changed drastically after seeing the code names above the four people's heads.
Zhan Shen: "Where is the gaming geek boss? Why is there no gaming geek boss among the four of us?"
Anxiety patient: "Could it be that the boss didn't come in and was replaced by this guy called 'Miracle Master'?"
Zhang Tieshu was also panicking: "No way? If there wasn't a game geek boss, wouldn't we be courting death if we came to this dungeon?"
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, they were in no mood to pay attention to the driver's calls for them to get off.
Su Ming explained: "Well, I'm just a game geek."
"I just changed my code name. Now it's called 'Miracle Master'. Isn't it more impressive than a game nerd?"
The anxious patient and Zhang Tieshu were both stunned for a few seconds.
Zhang Tieshu: "Are you really a gaming geek?"
Zhan Shen: "Can code names be changed? I've never heard of it."
Anxiety patient: "Just because other people can't do it doesn't mean that the gaming geek can't do it!"
"Well, should we change our name to Miracle Master now?"
The driver saw these four country bumpkins and they actually started chatting with each other, completely ignoring her request as the owner of the Gray City bus to ask them to get off.
He was immediately furious and roared like a lion, spitting out saliva half a meter away: "Get out of the car! Get out of the car! Get out of the car!"
"Four country bumpkins, do you not understand what we are saying? Or are you deaf?"
"Get out of here now! You're wasting my time!"
