[Note: The core gameplay remains unchanged, but due to real people entering the dungeon, some small details and values ​​in "Don't Starve" will be appropriately changed! ]
"By the way, after you enter the dungeon, you can choose to project the dungeon to the outside world in the waiting room. There will be a dedicated person in Sea City to help you connect it to reality." Mu Lin, who was in a good mood, talked more and kindly reminded Xu Mu.
"Live broadcast?" Xu Mu frowned.
"Well, although it's not entirely correct, it can be understood this way." Mu Lin paused and said, "This is a privilege of the guild's rated dungeon. Other regular dungeons don't have this opportunity to open."
"The purpose is to allow all guild leaders to demonstrate their personal abilities to the general public, and also to advertise their new guilds."
“It’s a lot of traffic.”
"Forget it." Xu Mu shook his head.
Let yourself start live broadcast?
Does not exist.
Isn't this equivalent to exposing all your perfect strategies?
"No?" Mu Lin frowned slightly, then shrugged: "It's up to you."
I have done my best. It is his choice whether he opens the door or not.
Mu Lin just couldn’t understand why they didn’t want such a good way to expose themselves.
You can't be worried that someone will learn your behavior in the dungeon...
Thinking of this possibility, Mu Lin was speechless.
A B-level player with a blank slate, there is nothing to hide.
"Let's go." Mu Lin filled up the carbonated bottle in one breath: "Drink more water in advance to make yourself look full so that you won't be hungry later. This is also part of the plan."
After saying that, she crushed the can in her hand and threw it into the trash can beside her.
Bang!
While putting garbage into bags.
Several players who were originally gathered in the guild hall also disappeared instantly!
…
After a flash of light, Xu Mu came to a familiar space.
The waiting room was in chaos.
All 1,000 players were teleported here, gathering in groups of two or three, talking loudly.
Facing the upcoming copy, everyone felt a sense of novelty.
At this moment, a prompt popped up in front of Xu Mu.
[Do you want to turn on your personal light screen to connect to the outside world? ]
This should be the live broadcast that Mu Lin just mentioned.
Without thinking, Xu Mu directly chose no.
He doesn't need traffic and exposure, he just wants to climb the ladder in a low-key manner.
However, the other presidents rushed to click confirm.
Mu Lin is no exception.
When a new guild is first established, it lacks popularity and opportunities for such great exposure are not always available.
Soon, strings of gorgeous gold and silver threads began to spread to the outside world like data.
The staff at the Sea City Guild Hall also started to get busy, transferring the images fed back by the players to reality in real time.
This advanced technology is unique in the entire province.
This is a far cry from the backward technologies such as Dolphin and Seaside that still require word-of-mouth communication from war correspondents.
Soon, the players who had been waiting in the Sea City forum for a long time flocked to the real-time screen section, and the barrage of comments began to roll wildly.
"Little flying stick, Laino~!"
"Exciting! This is the first time since I became an adult that I've seen a group of guildmaster-level players challenge a survival dungeon! They're all big shots, so they must be super strong! Let me learn a thing or two from you!" (Minors don't have the Scarlet Emblem, so they can't enter the Dimensional Realm or the Player Forum)
"Hurry up and find out if there are any famous players you are familiar with!"
"Oh my god! Isn't that Silver Fox? The vice president of the A+ Guild Snow Mountain Flying Fox. Is he going to set up his own company?"
"Wow! Little Milk Pot is here too! He's an elite member of the Lu Mengmeng Guild. Is Lu Mengmeng going to expand the secondary guild? I heard that this guild is full of cute girls..."
"Hiss!! Then I will definitely apply to join the guild! To become the wings that protect them!"
“Damn! Mu Lin is here too! Wuuuuu, Mu Lin, my Mu Lin! I’m so good!! I like you!!/giggle/giggle”
"Who is Mulin? ... Is she the lady with the beret? Wow! She's tall, fair-skinned, and beautiful. She's really pretty!"
"Let's be frank. From the first moment I saw Sister Mu Lin, I decided to join this guild!"
"Wait a minute, why is there a man in a white windbreaker next to her, and so close to her? I can't accept it!"
Just as the barrage of comments were flying.
Mu Lin placed his hand on Xu Mu's shoulder while observing the other players around him.
You know what, the longer I spend with this brat, the more I appreciate his calm personality.
He is handsome, doesn't talk much, and his words and actions don't show any childish behavior that might deliberately draw his attention.
Instead, he had a sense of sophistication that was not consistent with his eighteen years old.
"No wonder Xiaoxi likes him so much." While Mu Lin was thinking, she saw Xu Mu take two steps to the side, avoiding her hand on her shoulder.
Suddenly, his eyebrows raised.
What's the meaning?
Dislike me?
Then I leave?
"Boy, come closer, I won't eat you." Mu Lin was a little unhappy, and pressed his arm on Xu Mu's shoulder even more.
"There is no such thing as forming a team in this dungeon, but players can cooperate. Anyway, the evaluation is calculated based on the survival time of a single player. The closer you are to me, the closer our spawn point will be."
"As long as you call me Sister Lin, I will take you flying, and I will take you flying."
"Noisy." Xu Mu frowned.
This girl looks like a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart. She is very aloof when you don’t know her, but once you get to know her, she becomes like a outgoing big sister.
But Xu Mu didn't want to be close to anyone, he just wanted to do his copy tasks quietly.
“???” Mu Lin was about to retort because of Xu Murui’s noisy comments.
Suddenly there was a commotion not far away.
She squinted her eyes and looked into the distance.
At the far other end of the waiting room, dozens of Hula players gathered together.
I listened carefully.
"Pale Boss! Take me with you!"
"Me, me, me! Take me too! How can I live without a strategy?"
"I desperately need your strategy!!"
"I want to join the team too!!"
The noisy sounds made it look like a fan meeting.
Xu Mu also glanced towards that side.
However, in the survival copy, all attributes are restricted and the Eye of the Blue Sky cannot be used.
Come to think of it, in a foggy dungeon like Don't Starve, if the Eye of the Blue Sky is turned on, it would be equivalent to a radar for the entire map, completely destroying the balance of the dungeon.
Xu Mu was not surprised that there would be restrictions.
"Who is that?"
"No one, just a player who likes to show off. He doesn't have any bad intentions, he just likes to show off." Mu Lin pursed his lips indifferently: "But he does have some power. He is the younger brother of the president of the Apocalypse Guild, the only fourth-level guild in the City of Sea."
"His brother Tianqi had previously given an S rating for the Don't Starve book, and now he should have taught it all to Cang Bai."
"It seems that after this dungeon, he will start with a third-tier guild. Tsk, he was born into a good family."
Although Mu Lin was envious, she still despised the dog-licking behavior of those players.
"Don't be afraid. With your sister Lin here, I'll be able to get you the rewards for the first stage without any problem, not to mention the S-level evaluation." As if she was worried that Xu Mu would also go and lick the paleness, she emphasized again: "Sister, I have the strategy in my hand, trust me."
Of course, Mu Lin also has his own little calculations.
Judging from the description in the guide, the world of Don't Starve is very large and is divided into many regional terrains.
If a person wants to survive, he must accumulate more initial materials in the early stage, such as stone, wood, etc.
However, we have to find food to fill our stomachs.
A person's energy is inevitably limited.
If I could have a younger brother to help me with chores, the pressure of survival would be reduced a lot.
Just when Mu Lin’s abacus beads were about to hit Xu Mu’s face.
The loud reminder sound, like a huge bell, was circling above the heads of the players.
【Players have assembled! 】
[The survival dungeon "Don't Starve" is about to be launched! 】
[Instance description: You will appear empty-handed on a vast and absurdly terrifying wilderness island. There are abundant supplies here, but there are also various threats lurking in the darkness! Do whatever it takes to survive!]
【Copy Rules:
1. Each player initially gets 100 HP, 100 Hunger, and 100 Sanity. When the Hunger reaches zero, the HP will continue to be depleted. If the Sanity is below 50, mental abnormalities will occur, and if it is below 30, extremely terrifying things will happen! Please always keep your Sanity above 50!

【1】
[The "Don't Starve" dungeon is now open! ]
Swish!!
Accompanied by a burst of dazzling white light, all the players were enveloped.
Chaos space exits.
The next moment!
What came into Xu Mu's sight was a deserted island with a dark hue.
Xu Mu is very familiar with the game "Don't Starve".
When he was still a student, he would often join hands with a few classmates to burn, kill, rob and do all kinds of evil things during the holidays.
Smash the pig sty, dig up the rat's nest, punch the four seasons boss, and kick the ancient nightmare.
I turned a survival game into a killing game, but I was indeed very happy during that time.
To this day, he still remembers countless details from the game.
I didn't expect that the copy that the guild rated this time was "Don't Starve"
"However, try not to take it lightly. The copy may be different from the game." As the first few copies were somewhat different from the main game, Xu Mu remained cautious at all times.
First, he glanced at his own attributes.
Health, hunger and sanity are all full at this time 120
It seems that the attributes still slightly increase the upper limit of survival.
He looked around at the terrain.
In Don't Starve, there are a dozen types of terrain randomly distributed.
There are the Pig King Birch Forest, Queen Bee Area, Platform Forest, Creeper Forest, Grassland, Swamp, Mineral Area, Walrus Plains, Killer Bee Area and so on.
Each region has its own special products, and learning to distinguish the terrain is an important part of smoothly playing the game.
Once you are familiar with the terrain, you only need to explore the map and you can see the area colors on the small map at a glance.
Naturally, it can save a lot of time in running maps and achieve accurate positioning.
And now.
Xu Mu was born in a large pine forest.
The trees are dense and grow wildly.
There is a small bush area around, with some wild berries growing in the bushes, which can be regarded as the minimum reserve food for players to fill their stomachs in the early stages.
"Wow, there has never been such a wonderful start." Mu Lin's surprised voice came from not far away.
She refreshed near Xu Mu and saw the man in the white windbreaker from afar, walking towards Xu Mu without stopping.
"From the description in the guide, this is simply a dream home for a great start!" Mu Lin walked to Xu Mu's side and pointed at the trees next to him: "See? Stable wood output."
He pointed to the bushes next to him and said, "A stable food supply."
"Boy, you don't even need to go far away. You can stay here for seven days and complete your first-level guild mission."
I thought Xu Mu would show the same happy expression as me.
Unexpectedly, he just looked around and shook his head and said.
"Not here."
After saying that, he walked away on his own, heading towards the exit in front of the pine forest.
He plans to leave this area! ?
"Hey! Where are you going?" Mu Lin frowned.
This cheap little brother I found seems to be disobedient.
I wanted to just ignore him and let him go wherever he wanted. We weren't in a team anyway, so it had nothing to do with me if he didn't survive the first day.
But my best friend’s request always lingers in my mind.
From childhood to adulthood, my best friend has never asked me for anything, but this time it seems that she is really moved by my feelings.
"Damn it. For Xiao Xiji's sake, I will tolerate you one last time!" Mu Lin gritted his teeth and chased after him for two steps.
He went back and collected some berries from the bushes nearby, then quickly caught up again.
Naturally, this scene was also seen by players outside who were watching the forum, and they immediately started talking about it.
"Who is this guy? He is so pretentious that he even ignored the invitation of Goddess Mulin."
“Sister Mulin, don’t bother with this kind of person. He loves death.”
"I'm just a passerby, just passing by to give you a quick review. Even if the new guild can't recruit people in the early stages, this beautiful lady doesn't have to be so humble. I'm willing to be your wings!"
"Dude in front, you want to be a sanitary napkin, right?"
"Be Miss Mulin's sanitary napkin? Damn! Why should I reward him? Please let me do it!"
"Damn it! Seeing my Mulin-chan being ignored like this, I'm so angry! I'm going to go to his live broadcast room and blast him! I'm going to tell all the players who watch his live broadcast not to join his guild!"
"Me, me, me! Take me one!"
"I'm going too!"
Although Mu Lin is not very famous in the City of Sea, she is also well-known for her sweet looks and her workaholic frequency in going to dungeons. Even if she lacks talent, she will make up for it by risking her life!
Many players have come to know this hardworking young lady.
It also brought together a small group of fans.
Seeing that their goddess was rejected as soon as she entered the dungeon, many players felt injustice and started looking for Xu Mu's live broadcast room in the forum under the banner of blasting.
However, after the group of people finished their tour, they were dumbfounded.
This one...it seems like there is no live broadcast room at all...
If there is no live broadcast room, how can we blast it?
I just bought a keyboard, how can I tolerate this?
Yes, we can only bear this.
A group of depressed players returned to Mulin’s live broadcast room to complain.
"No, he doesn't do any publicity..."
"If we didn't start the live broadcast, who would have known that such a new guild had been established ?"
"He doesn't think that all the guild members fell from the sky on their own, does he?"
"Brothers, remember the man in the white windbreaker! Stay away from his guild! This kind of survival copy requires multiple people to work together to fight against unknown dangers. If you don't understand that humans are social animals, you will definitely not be able to manage a guild well!"
"that is!"
Just when everyone was giving sharp comments.
The copy is still in progress.
Mu Lin followed Xu Mu all the way, collecting small branches, berries, and weeds on the roadside, picking up whatever he could find.
The guide says that everything in the Don't Starve dungeon has value, so it won't go wrong to collect more.
The boy in front of me has never stopped walking from now on.
The two of them, one in front and one behind, have already crossed several areas.
He ignored any collectibles around him and just kept walking forward quickly.
Shop! Just click on Shop!
And looking up at the time in the upper right corner, half a day has passed, evening is approaching, and the sky is getting darker.
Soon, it will be the first night.
My stomach started to growl and my hunger level was decreasing very quickly!
In fact, Mu Lin had already eaten several berries along the way.
This stuff tastes like moldy fruit that has been rolled in mud. It's really disgusting.
But once the hunger value reaches zero, your health will decrease!
According to the strategy guide I bought, blood volume is difficult to restore in the early stage, and each meal can only restore 1 point of blood.
Once your health drops to zero, you're out.
And food sources are very scarce.
Therefore, no matter how disgusting the taste was, she had to swallow it and always keep her hunger bar above 50 points.
But that guy hasn’t eaten anything since he entered the game, and he’s been running around the map the whole time. After half a day, his hunger bar must be running low!
What on earth was he trying to do? Was he just wandering around and stumbling upon something by chance?
Although this setting does exist in some copies.
But in Famine, you need to start from scratch and build everything from scratch!
Although he didn't understand Xu Mu's thoughts, Mu Lin hesitated for a moment and decided to share the only three berries in his pocket with him.
I say I don't care about him, but I can't really watch him die on the first day, right?
Xiaoxi will definitely try to kill me.
Just as Mulin trotted forward with the berries in her hand.
Xu Mu's footsteps suddenly stopped.
She almost bumped into Xu Mu's back.
"Oh, you're too hungry to walk, right?" Mu Lin taunted, and held out her hand again: "Here."
Spreading it out, there are a few fruits that look like strawberries lying quietly in the palm of your hand.
Xu Mu glanced over and shook his head.
"No, this is not tasty."
Mu Lin: “????”
Listen to this!
Do you think he is speaking human language?
Still, not delicious?
You're almost starving to death, do you still have the qualifications to be picky?
Why don’t you take a look at the built-in channels and see that they have become a mess?
Some people are born in the desert and can only eat things like cactus. They lose blood while eating. Their hunger value is full and their health bar is almost empty. They are extremely miserable.
Some people even went straight to the big mining area, without getting any harvest. They walked for half a day without getting out and were so hungry that they wanted to eat stones.
It’s good to have berries to eat, why bother picking!
You're not here to challenge the dungeon, you're here to be a young master!
Just then, she suddenly heard Xu Mu whispering to himself.
“This is a good location, we can settle down here.”
Hearing this, Mu Lin glanced around.
Suddenly, the little face turned pale.
I was following Xu Mu all the way, collecting small materials on the roadside, and didn't pay any attention to the surrounding area at all.
Now that I have some free time, I'll watch it.
This is so fucking...
Not far to the left is a group of ferocious-looking pigmen.
And on the right is a spider nest area...
Ahead is an endless mining area with rocks of various colors standing in rows, and you can vaguely see a few black hyenas roaming around.
You can even faintly hear the sound of bees flapping their wings in the back, accompanied by the intoxicating fragrance of nectar.
According to the description in the guide, this should be a killer bee area...
There is a pure and pure breath of the underworld. Are you stacking the death buff here?
The uninhabited areas of Syria would call themselves nursing homes after seeing this terrain.
Are you sure you want to build your home here and not your grave?
"Has Xiao Xiji fallen in love with a lunatic?..."
"He is really crazy..."
But soon, Mu Lin found that he had underestimated the madness of this guy.
Xu Mu was seen deciding that the surrounding terrain was suitable for settling down.
He walked to the side and picked up a few pebbles from the ground.
Then, with Mu Lin’s face full of confusion.
Throw it at the hyena not far away.
Unbiased, hitting the bull's eye!
"Awooo!" The hyenas were enraged and quickly locked onto Xu Mu's direction! They roared and ran over, there were as many as seven or eight of them!
“This… how dare you…” Seeing this scene, Mu Lin’s heart beat wildly and he stepped back repeatedly.
If I remember correctly, there was a player in the built-in channel just now who accidentally provoked a hyena.
He was chased all the way to death by hyenas, then torn into pieces by several bites and went offline.
The guide also states that it is best to develop to the tenth day, and after you have passed the early stage and have weapons, you can try to lure one or two hyenas.
This guy provoked hyenas on the first day? And he provoked a group of them?
Moreover, Mu Lin found that he still underestimated this guy...
How could he just provoke a hyena?
During the time he was distracted, he had already provoked all the creatures around him that he could. There was chaos all around, and the roars of monsters filled his ears!
The monster's hissing made Mu Lin's sanity value drop rapidly!
Even the commentators who were watching this scene couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Is this guy crazy?!!"
"It's really hot, the eight medicines are spicy!"
"It's just a mess!"
"Others come here to find food, but this guy comes here to seek death, right?"
"Sister Mulin, run! Leave this guy alone! Why would you help someone like him? Is your guild so short of people?"
"He really doesn't know anything, he's just here to cause trouble!"
"I'm afraid he got in from some other small guild in the village. I've seen a lot of people like him."
"I bet 10 Red Moon coins that this guy will die soon, hehe."
"Good death, good death."
Just when everyone was mocking, a barrage of comments suddenly passed by.
"Huh? Why didn't these monsters attack him?" Someone looked from Mu Lin's perspective and found a clue.
Everyone looked towards the light screen.
Isn’t it!
Those creatures that were extremely ferocious to the players in the early stages were now fighting indiscriminately.
The pigman raised his sandbag-sized fist and smashed it hard on the hyena.
Hyenas chew spiders crazily.
The spider bit down a killer bee in one bite, and the killer bee stabbed its stinger into the pigman.
The scene was chaotic for a while.
And Xu Mu should have been at the center of the storm.
At this time, he was squatting not far away, and had built a bonfire at some point.
He watched the show with a leisurely look on his face while warming his hands by the fire.
Flames instantly shot up from the bonfire! The warm firelight illuminated the gradually darkening night.
On one side, there was war, and on the other side, life was peaceful.
When the strong contrast was presented in the same frame, everyone was stunned.
This...what is going on?
Why didn't the monster hit him?
Is it open?
Can this be opened?
Both the players watching the game and Mu Lin looked confused.
But Xu Mu was very clear in his heart.
He just used a little trick.
The biggest difference between the game "Don't Starve" and other survival games is.
These monsters are purely hostile creatures!
They are not just hostile to the player.
They can even turn against each other!
As long as the hyenas are pulled to the area where the pigmen are active, their hatred will be transferred to the pigmen after the player flashes out of a certain range.
Then a pig-dog war breaks out!
The same applies to other species.
The most comfortable thing is that after they kill each other, nothing will be lost.
You can reap the benefits yourself!
This little trick was already known to many players in the previous life.
But in this world, due to the special nature of the copy, the consequences of failure are much more severe than the punishment in the previous life game!
In the early days, no player dared to play like this.
There is not enough time to find food, and there are no weapons. Who has the courage to provoke monsters?
You mess with several groups at once? You are crazy!
Of course, for Xu Mu.
Courage is not something you can rely on at all, only sheer madness makes sense!
The autumn nights have finally arrived and the temperatures have begun to drop.
Xu Mu was leisurely roasting the fire while waiting for the battle to end.
Not long after, when the battle was coming to an end.
Everyone looked at the battlefield again and were all stunned.
After these creatures fought each other, some died and some fled, leaving behind a lot of spoils!
Whether it is the scarce spider legs or spider webs in the early stage of the copy, or dog teeth, pig skin, honey, bee stings, and other precious materials and props, they are everywhere at this time!
In addition, there is the most important thing throughout the entire "Don't Starve" copy!
food!
These creatures that fought each other exploded with huge pieces of meat all over the ground after their death!
There were huge hams and monster meats lined up one after another. There were at least thirty or forty of them at a glance! These were all excellent foods that could quickly restore hunger!
Mu Lin stood there blankly, his eyes wide open.
Even a group of spectating players who have never been through a survival dungeon, after shuttling between different live broadcast rooms for so long, have seen countless guild leaders chewing grass, eating tree roots, flower petals and seeds, accepting everything just to fill their stomachs and survive!
Then make a horizontal comparison between the meat all over the ground in front of him and Xu Mu, who was busy cleaning the battlefield and throwing piece of fat meat into his backpack.
They all showed envious looks.
"I don't know why, but even as a spectator I feel so good..."
"It's mainly because the contrast is too strong. On the first day, everyone was still gnawing on tree bark, and Sister Mulin only had three berries left, while this guy had a backpack full of meat..."
"Other people are playing Don't Starve, but he's playing Full!"
"We solved the case, brothers. No wonder this guy complained about Sister Mu Lin's food. It turns out he is confident that he can eat better food!"
"Hmm? Sister Mulin's is unpalatable? Which one is unpalatable? Young man, you might as well explain it clearly."
“Wow, wow, I apologize for my reckless words and actions just now! I admit that this little brother doesn’t seem as weak as I thought. He has something!”
"Waiting online! Urgent! Who knows the name of this young man's guild? I want to join!"
