Chapter 276: Online Dating Scam Record (Thirty-nine)
"My last name is Tang, and I'm also a student in 606. I was tricked into a dungeon and imprisoned, but I just escaped. Invisibility is a passive defensive skill."
Tang Xinjue remained calm and made up a reasonable excuse.
With the testimony of Guo Guo and Bai Zhi, the others felt relieved and turned their attention back to the copy.
If what Tang Xinjue said was true, then the vast majority of their candidates had already entered the "good student" camp. Even the dormitories whose exam progress was relatively slow had to face the risk of being harassed by other students.
In an instant, many candidates' faces turned pale.
They were already limited by the strength of their dormitories, which was why they were slow to pass the level. Now they had to deal with internal and external troubles, and the death rate had more than doubled!
However, they were already lucky - if they had not known this information, and the whole dormitory was cursed unknowingly like the short-haired girl, they would not even know how they were wiped out.
The long-haired girl sighed softly : "This is the cruelty of the game."
One wrong step leads to another, and even the slightest mistake can lead to serious damage in the dungeon. However, the greater the damage, the slower the improvement in strength; and the slower the improvement, the greater the danger in the later stages...
For candidates who are not good at decryption, combat and survival, this is undoubtedly a nightmarish vicious cycle.
The only way is to speed up.
"We can't change the difficulty of the dungeon, so we can only speed up our own strength improvement. For everyone, this is a great escape. The only way to survive is to run faster than the game's stranglehold."
Tang Xinjue sincerely shared the principles he has always adhered to.
She knew very well that these students, whom she had invited by accident, were only a flight away from each other in real life, but they were scattered in this survival game and might never have the chance to meet again.
If possible, she hopes more people can survive together.
Their home should not be a dark underground or a cold university town, but a place with sunshine, family and delicious food.
She will wait for them to come back in reality.
The brief and lively exchange of information was quickly interrupted by a burst of explosions.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, they saw another group of candidates rushing down from the upstairs chasing a few NPC ghosts.
"Open the door if you can, or don't run away if you can!"
"I've been bullied by ghosts every time I take exams. Finally, I can experience the feeling of using my power to bully ghosts, no, using the majority to bully the minority! Hahahaha——"
"Oh my goodness, brothers and sisters! Why are there so many people down there?!"
The candidate below: “…”
When they first entered the dungeon, were they also in this state of being carried away by their sudden wealth?
Seeing the two groups of people bump into each other and look at each other in bewilderment, Tang Xin Jue explained, "There are more than 300 people in total, with more than 100 coming in each time. This should be the third group."
It’s just that I got in a little late and only caught the last bus that was very busy.
Seeing that the last batch of dungeon monsters had been cleaned out like leeks, Tang Xinjue immediately said, "This dungeon is almost gone. There should be some hidden props and rewards in the teaching building. You can look for them on your own, but be careful not to leave the teaching building. Bai Zhi, come with us."
"Goodbye, Brother Bai!"
A few people who looked like Bai Zhi's roommates said goodbye cheerfully. Just as they were about to grab their bags to go dig for items, they suddenly remembered, "Huh? Why is the dungeon almost gone? Didn't the NPC say there's a long appeals process?"
This was revealed through their subsequent torture and interrogation by the school NPC. According to the dungeon rules, the candidates still had to endure the long and tedious process of pimping, searching for the fraud gang, and then fighting the fraud gang again...
"No need." Tang Xin Jue said succinctly: "The fraud gang has defected to the enemy."
"ah?"
In fact, apart from this, the most important reason is the operation of pulling the candidates over, which not only forcibly changed the nature of the copy, but also directly dragged it down.
The copy crashed and the exam naturally ended.
The three of them left the teaching building. Only Tang Xinjue could discern their direction through the white mist. Guo Guo and Bai Zhi followed her lead. Returning to the dormitory building, they could still see clear signs of a battle in the first-floor lobby. It seemed that a school NPC had forced its way in and engaged in a violent conflict with Anya.
Going further inside, Guo Guo was startled by something moving at the corner of the stairs. A girl's head popped out from the bloodstains. It was Anya!
Anya's lower body disappeared in a pool of blood. Only her upper body could move. She was counting the buttons on her clothes out of boredom. She was surprised to see the three people coming over: "You are still alive?"
"I didn't stop them at school. When they broke in, I thought you were dead." Anya shrugged. "But who is this man? Aren't all the victims in the male dormitory dead?"
"Thank you, Anya."
Guo Guo spoke sincerely.
As ghost NPCs, Anya and Li Zeya had no obligation to let the students go or help the candidates, but they did it anyway.
"What are you thanking me for?" Anya, who always had a bad attitude, became a little reserved and snorted coldly: "We also have our own position in the dungeon. If we didn't see that you really wanted to combat fraud, we wouldn't help you... Hmm? What is this?"
A beam of white light from under the hood above her head made it difficult for her to open her eyes. Tang Xinjue explained for Bai Zhi: "This is a healing skill."
"Who's talking? Healing skills? Can they be used on me too?"
Anya wasn't the kind of ghost who could return to the university town. She'd been in the same dungeon for too long, accustomed to all manner of deaths. She'd forgotten what it felt like to be rescued, and for a moment, she felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Don't waste your energy on me. Your roommates are still alive. I used my powers to hide them. It's not too late to go back and save them. Go away! Don't hang around in front of me. Seeing you living people makes me upset, humph."
Before the healing beam could heal her legs, Anya pushed Guo Guo away and limped quickly into the shadow corner.
"It's okay, my skills are still sufficient." Bai Zhi also raised his head and looked in the direction of 404: "I can sense them."
As the ice on Zhang You and Zheng Wanqing slowly faded away, their pale and thin faces gradually regained their color.
When her health bar had mostly recovered, Zhang You finally opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Guo Guo, and her heart sank. "Where's the Heart Technique? Hasn't she... come back yet?"
Tang Xinjue was helpless: "I'm here."
Zhang You:?
On the other side, Zheng Wanqing also woke up and stood up to look around: "Who is talking?"
Bai Zhi retracted his skill and coughed twice before his mouth: "Okay, your roommate is fine now."
Tang Xin Jue handed over two props: "Thank you. Are you injured?"
She noticed that Bai Zhi's spiritual realm was also somewhat damaged. This was the first time she saw injuries on the body of this super pastor since she met him.
"It's hard for a doctor to heal himself." Bai Zhi shook his head. "Since our dormitory has chosen to trade with the game, we must bear the risk of being contaminated. Fortunately, we have already entered the first level. After two or three more levels, we can challenge the graduation exam like you."
Even if they hadn't communicated before, Tang Xinjue wasn't surprised that he knew this information. Zhang You had anticipated this, but only Wanqing was surprised: "Graduation exam? Now? I missed it because I was lying down? Damn it!"
She hasn't had time to use the high-level steel full body armor she just bought in actual combat!
Guo Guo: "...Miss, you are worthy of being me."
Anyway, if she had this misunderstanding, her first reaction would definitely be: Great! I won easily! Thank God!
As he spoke, the ground began to shake slightly, indicating that the copy was about to collapse.
Bai Zhi suddenly called Tang Xinjue and asked her if she had any ideas about trading other props.
He pulled out a prop shaped like a bamboo dragonfly. "You don't seem to have a positioning prop. This bamboo dragonfly can replicate itself up to four times and instantly transport its owner to the location of the other copies. With this in the dorm, we won't have to worry about being separated by copies next time. I want to use it to trade for your offensive props, which we need most right now."
606 was indeed very interested in the positioning item. Tang Xinjue agreed to the deal without hesitation and asked him where he had obtained the item.
Bai Zhi smiled and said, "This isn't something I bought in dungeons or the mall. It's a gift pack reward for the top 30 dormitories. I originally thought you guys got it too, but maybe because you're ranked higher, different dormitories receive different gift packs."
606: “…”
Dormitory rankings and rewards???
