Zheng Xun excitedly walked around the new players, rubbing against each one.

Start sucking people in.

He was reserved when facing girls, just standing two steps away and looking at them with a smile.

Nine people, seven men and two women. The ages of the men range from 20 to 35 years old, and the two girls are about the same age, both in their twenties.

One was wearing smoky purple business attire, probably a white-collar worker.

The other person who greeted him first was in sportswear and looked like a college student.

Everyone present was so frightened by his strange behavior that they dared not speak. Those who had the guts to step forward and ask.

"Are you the NPC of this copy?"

"Me? I'm not," Zheng Xun's neck turned. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and pointed behind everyone, "It is."

All nine people were shocked and automatically divided into two groups to get out of the way. Behind the empty space, a little girl in red appeared out of nowhere.

The familiar braids and small leather shoes, as well as the small bamboo basket slung on the arm.

and the opening line of Hearing Vomit .

"Hello, strange brothers and sisters, can I ask you a favor? I am Honghong who lives in the lucky community next door. My mother wants me to visit my grandma who lives in the happy community."

Little Red Riding Hood put on a pale face and forced out a cute smile.

A boy wearing a hooded sweatshirt walked up and asked curiously: "Are you an NPC? This is the first time I have seen a real White Tower NPC."

While the man in the hoodie was speaking, a black raven glided from deep space and landed on a dry tree above them.

The arrival of the raven attracted Zheng Xun's attention. After 1,000 dungeon experiences, he is now extremely sensitive to sounds, sights and smells.

He noticed that the raven's eyes moved unnaturally, a red light flashed, and it also made a sizzling sound of electricity that could only be heard when a machine was running.

Camera?

"It's a live broadcast."

The girl in sportswear came to him at some point. She seemed to regard him as a newcomer who didn't understand anything, and explained to him in a low voice.

"Global live broadcast."

Seeing that Zheng Xun still looked confused, the girl lowered her head and rolled up the left sleeve of her coat, revealing a black smart bracelet.

"Little genius's phone number?" Zheng Xun said subconsciously.

"..." The girl was silent for a moment before continuing, "This is a player bracelet. It records player-related information and is equipped with live broadcast-related functions."

The girl was talking and operating, and soon, a translucent virtual display screen appeared from above the bracelet, showing the picture of the ten of them standing at the entrance to the dungeon.

The upper left corner is the number of people in the live broadcast room, the upper right corner is the anchor's avatar, black, with no other patterns, and the ID below is "District 1089".

"1089? Such a big number, it seems we are very good." Zheng Xun didn't understand anything, but his tone was very determined.

The name of the girl just flashed through the operation. Her name is Xu Li, 19 years old, studying at X University.

Xu Li shook his head and rejected Zheng Xun's random inference.

"The further down the ranking, the weaker the server strength. Districts with more than 1,000 servers may be canceled at any time."

"Canceled?"

"It means...the entire district has completely disappeared."

Xu Li explained anxiously.

Zheng Xun nodded, understood, a death-defying game.

Speaking of this, Xu Li couldn't help but have red eyes.

"This copy is very important. If it doesn't succeed, I, and my family..."

But Zheng Xun didn't listen to the girl's sensationalism at all. He was concentrating on watching the barrage flashing across the lower left corner of the screen.

: No way, right? This newcomer doesn’t even know about bracelets!

: Where did the Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chick come from? District 1089 is about to be finished.

: Isn’t this a life-and-death battle for the district server? Just send out ten rookies?

: It is said that the management of districts outside of ranking 1000 is extremely chaotic. Capable players have been promoted to districts long ago, and the rest are old, weak, sick and disabled.

:1089 area? Is it the area that has never participated in a dungeon?

: Right, I didn’t expect that the first one would be a life and death battle in the district server. I really don’t know if it’s luck or unlucky.

: Who will give this newcomer a "Newcomer's Guide"? I feel so pitiful after reading it.

The "Newcomer's Guide" is an introductory book to the game distributed by the White Tower. It is only needed for babies who have just learned to read. It is similar to the Chinese Pinyin table for preschoolers.

The barrage was mocking Zheng Xun, but Zheng Xun didn't know it.

He asked Xu Li sincerely: "Is there a "Newcomer's Guide"?"

Xu Li: "Well, after you go out, any bookstore will sell it."

"OK, thanks."

He's quite polite.

Zheng Xun didn't watch the barrage in vain, he was capturing information.

"What does the district service life-and-death battle mean?"

Speaking of this, it seemed as if it touched Xu Li's fragile tear ducts, making her eyes filled with tears again.

"This copy is a copy of life and death. It not only determines our lives, but also affects everyone in the area. Once we fail, not only the ten of us, but also the people outside will be wiped out like data in the game. Traces of existence.”

Xu Li said that a life-and-death battle for the district server was not worth mentioning for the top-ranked districts, but for districts like them where most of the people were elderly, their lives were almost lost in vain.

The ten people currently here are already the "elites" of the entire district.

Zheng Zhou looked around and looked at the gloomy faces of the other nine "elites".

It is estimated that they are all ordinary people without any special abilities, but they stood up for their families or lovers.

Xu Li was already crying beside her, and the fate of the ten people seemed even more tragic with the dark clouds and the sad crows. The female white-collar worker couldn't help but wipe her eyes.

Everyone was very sad, only Zheng Xun still had a sluggish face, staring at Xu Li's face that was rubbed red by his arm.

The barrage was swiping quickly.

: Could it be that he fell in love with the girl?

: It's time, and he still has this idea.

: This copy is scary, and it would be nice to have some emotional lines!

Zheng Xun didn't look at the barrage, and didn't know what everyone was discussing until his frank gaze made Xu Li uncomfortable.

"Sir?"

Xu Li thought, he wouldn't really do that to her--

"Well," Zheng Xun's eyes followed her lowering of her arms, "Your little genius is really good, where did you buy it?"

"..."

Xu Li's sad mood was interrupted by his incomprehension, and she almost choked.

"The regular version is sold in supermarkets outside."

"Okay."

Zheng Xun smiled politely.

While the two were talking, the NPC Little Red Riding Hood had already introduced the background of the story and the mission.

Xu Li didn't hear all of it, and pounded her head in frustration.

"Oh no, oh no, I didn't hear what the NPC said, there should be clues in it."

Zheng Xun glanced at her.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't listen."

He could recite it backwards.

Xu Li saw that although he was also a "newcomer", he looked calm, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Sir, you..."

"My name is Zheng Xun."

"Okay, Zheng Xun, aren't you afraid? In the life and death dungeon, the monsters inside are extremely difficult to kill, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out."

Zheng Xun looked at her reproachfully.

"You are a little girl, don't talk about fighting and killing all the time. It's not easy to get this opportunity, just enjoy the breeze, appreciate the scenery on the roadside, and be a free tourist, how nice."

The wind was blowing, and the GG sign on the roadside fell to the ground halfway, and Xu Li looked like she had seen a ghost.

Zheng Xun ignored it and returned to the crowd.

What are they doing in a circle?

The others had already come to the locker, which was next to the weapon rack.

Unlike Zheng Xun's thousand times before, this time there was a rusty iron lottery machine, the fuselage was covered with colorful light strips and a circle of letters, and the order of the letters was a bit strange.

S was at the beginning, followed by ABCD... until Z, next to the first S.

What is this?

Zheng Xun looked at the others and an honest young man in a suit explained to him.

"This is the difficulty of the game in this dungeon. A player needs to shake the handle."

"Oh, isn't the difficulty of the dungeon pre-set?" Zheng Xun asked curiously.

"It is set," the man in the suit explained dryly, "It's just a ceremony."

Zheng Xun understood a little.

Although the difficulty of the dungeon has been set, no one wants to scratch this prize. If the difficulty of the hell is scratched out, the scratcher will have to bear the blame.

No wonder everyone is shrinking.

"I'll do it. I'm lucky."

Zheng Xun stepped forward and walked forward.

The voice inside the lottery machine beeped.

"Welcome, welcome! Welcome, welcome! Another group of new players has arrived! Hehehe, hehehe... The White Tower welcomes you! Please put your cute little hands on the handle, shake it gently, and wait for good luck to come! Hehehe... New players... Hehehe, please bring your personal belongings, including your heart, stomach, arms, and bones, hehe--"

The voice stopped abruptly.

It was Zheng Xun, who found the wire connecting the player and tore it off.

Zheng Xun muttered in the shocked faces of everyone.

"What the hell, it's so noisy."

Then he shook the handle according to the instructions.

Three orange balls were spit out from the opening of the machine one after another.

S, S, S...

It turned out to be a 3S-level copy!
