Sitting at the top of the long table, the serious man who didn't look easy to get along with let out a soft "um".

Almost instantly, everyone had a tacit understanding: in this escape game, these three people, especially the team, are the central characters among the players.

In survival dungeons, temporary teaming is a very common operation, but there are not many people who can obtain the fixed teaming qualification recognized by the system.

And it is even rarer to have special props and bind team members to enter the dungeon together. So generally speaking, if there is a fixed team in the dungeon, it means that these people are not weak, and other players will use them as the main core leaders and cooperate to clear the level together.

Before the survival rate is guaranteed, being in the limelight is the least trivial thing worth mentioning.

The young man who had taunted Yuan Yuxue before was the first to cooperate, and he raised the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "My name is glasses." ”

A girl in a white shirt and a light white skirt then said, "You can call me a skirt." ”

"Ah...... Call me Blackskin. The male student next to the skirt didn't care - his skin wasn't actually dark, it was a deliberately tanned tan, and it was only a little darker than the others.

"Ah Jin." The young woman who spoke was tall, with dyed blonde hair and a faint smell of cold perfume.

Rabbits, curly fur, marching ...... A name like this, of course, will not be a real name. But this is the tacit consensus of almost all players in the escape world.

On the one hand, it is to ensure the security of real identity. On the other hand, it's based on the fact that this is a survival game, not a dating game, and everyone is just assigned to the same copy of friendship, so there is no need to waste time on such trivial things as remembering names. A simple code name with a dominant character that can be remembered as quickly as possible is the most suitable place for this occasion.

After everyone was introduced, everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on the newcomer who had never spoken. Curly's gaze was even more unconcealed, with a little urging, and his fingertips kept smashing on the table, making a dull sound.

For Yuan Yuxue, self-introduction is a somewhat unfamiliar part.

Most of the missions he had worked with in the past were also war robots, and all of them had their names written in the default program. Even if there is an extremely rare human collaborator once in a while, the other party absolutely knows what his name is—the name Yuan Yuxue is like thunder to some extent.

After everyone's introduction, Yuan Yuxue recorded their names and corresponding information into the program, and only then did she realize that she also had to speak.

When Curly opened his mouth with a black face and was about to say something, Yuan Yuxue raised her head, and her black eyes looked a little shiny under the refraction of some special light.

“…… Yuan wants snow. He spoke, his words clear.

The rabbit pursed his lips slightly and smiled, thinking, sure enough, he is a newcomer, and he is quite cute.

And Curly thought with a stinky face, he couldn't even understand this unspoken rule, and honestly reported his real name - that should be his real name, right?

But even if Yuan Yuxue didn't give himself a code name, this name is still quite easy to match with himself.

Although the newlyweds almost covered their entire face, they could still see a little pale skin under the mask, and a slender neck that was exposed. His complexion was really as white as melting snow, which made the name inexplicably appropriate to him. For a while, no one even spoke out to point out Yuan Yuxue's erroneous demonstration.

At the same moment, the ancient wall clock hanging in the hall suddenly rang, and a sharp sound resounded through the interior of the villa.

The pointers coincide in one place.

Twelve o'clock in the night.

Noticing this not-so-fortunate time, the lips of the glasses tightened slightly.

Everyone suppressed their impetuous thoughts and prepared for the dangerous situation that they might encounter next.

At the same moment as the wall bell rang, several well-dressed servants entered the gate, their bodies slightly hunched and their complexions pale. The last person to walk out was a butler in a black tuxedo, wearing a black high hat and well-rounded facial features. But as soon as I looked away, I forgot his face in my mind.

The dull, sound of black shoes on the ground was instantaneous.

The butler's voice rang out with a little strange tongue-curling voice, "Honorable guests from afar, thank you for coming to your master's birthday celebration as promised. We hope you will have a pleasant and indulgent time here. ”

"The celebration has begun, and Master Andre is waiting for you to move to the banquet room."

At the same time, all the taskers received alerts from the system.

The task panel has been refreshed.

[Dungeon: Tricky Game Activation.]

April 1 is the birthday of your mutual good friend Andrei. You were invited to the villa and ready to present Andrei with a birthday present that he had carefully prepared.

Andrei refused.

He only wanted to spend the day happily with his friends, and by the way, let the visitors satisfy a little of his bad taste—

The mischievous young master Andre would invite his friends to play a game of pranks, recording their funny expressions after being frightened and broadcasting them live on the big screen in the ballroom - it was his eighteenth birthday present.

You'll satisfy him, right?

Main Quest: Survive for 24 hours.

Side Quest: Complete a game of tricks with Andre.

Beginner's Note: The level of engagement in the quest will determine the final points you earn.

Countdown to the end of the mission: 23:59:41]

Yuan Yuxue's gaze locked on the translucent system page that appeared in front of him.

The silver smoke-like light converges in one place, and the font exudes pale gold lines, just enough to occupy the side of the eye, but not to block the gaze and form a visual blind spot.

Yuan Yuxue is all too familiar with this kind of task panel.

In the past, when the laboratory issued tasks, it used a similar system panel.

Yuan Yuxue was even more sure that this was the last task he had to perform temporarily before he was destroyed.

It's just that unlike the previous mission orders, which were very purposeful, this mission is very strange, and the goal is only ......

Survive?

What benefits does this bring to the lab?

Yuan Yuxue thought confusedly.

While everyone was moving their legs with a little reluctance, and was forced to go to the banquet hall under the steward's gloomy gaze, the little newcomer remained where he was, his eyes lowering as if he was thinking about something.

Curly couldn't help but glance at him again and again, and finally couldn't help but stop and urge him: "Hey? What are you in a daze, scared silly? ”

"Hurry up and keep up, it won't work if you want to hide here and clear the customs." Curly grinded his teeth and taught him, "In my experience, anyone who goes against the premise at the beginning will die a miserable death. ”

"......" Yuan Yuxue was urged and stood up silently.

His movements were so amplitude that the wound on his waist that had not healed was torn open at once, and the warm blood finally seeped through the hem of his garment, and a layer of marks was swamped on the dark fabric.

Curly Hair smelled a vague smell of blood from the beginning, but he only thought it was the smell from some corner of this dilapidated villa, and at a glance he saw a strange wetness on the newcomer's waist, and his eyes widened slightly-

The curls come up quickly.

He walked in front of Yuan Yuxue almost in the blink of an eye, frowning, his eyes locked tightly on the bloodstain, "Are you injured?" ”

"When was the injury? You...... You just left the team, did you go to find out if there were any medicine bandages? ”

Injuries are a serious concept for Yuan Yuxue. He did not lose his combat capability, but his body was partially damaged, which was far from the standard of injury for him.

So Yuan Yuxue shook her head and said very calmly: "No injury." ”

Curly looked at him as if he was a little angry, and his brows were about to frown.

"Whatever you have a hard mouth, it's not me who will hurt to death anyway."

He turned and took a few steps, urging impatiently, "Keep up...... Keep up. ”

The pace of curly hair is very fast, and there is no intention of waiting for anyone at all. Soon it was tied to the rabbit at the forefront.

He hung his head and whispered a few words to the rabbit.

The voice was small, but Yuan Xuxue's hearing was far beyond the level of human acuity, and he heard Curly Hair speak quickly and asked:

"Rabbit,"

"I didn't bring 'red medicine'...... Divide me. ”

Chapter 2: Tricky Game

"It's all bound." The rabbit said, "You don't have enough?" Before entering the dungeon, the captain also reminded us to prepare an extra set of red medicine. ”

"Red Medicine" is a high-grade medicine that can be exchanged with the system when you end the dungeon and return to the safe zone, and it is very effective against external trauma.

The "Bound Version" is 20 points and can only be used for yourself. The "unbound version" requires 100 points, which can be traded to other players or NPCs - but the price is so low that unless it is a special player who specializes in reselling system goods, he will not buy unbound red medicine to squander.

Rabbits obviously don't have a hobby of scalping.

Curly was asked: "......"

Rabbit's mind is a little more delicate than most players, she quickly reacted and glanced back, "Is the little newcomer injured?" ”

Curly fur grimaced, "What's my business?" ”

"Well, it's none of your business." The rabbit's eyes were also sharp, and when he saw a little dark blood stain from the young man's thin waist, he estimated that the injury might not be light, frowned slightly, and suggested, "You go and ask the captain, there are many strange things in his warehouse." ”

Curly didn't say anything.

But he walked faster and faster, and then, as if inadvertently, he followed the line.

"Captain." Curly Hair was quiet for a moment, and quickly spoke, "Do you have any non-binding red medicine on you, I don't have enough inventory, lend me a little, and the points will be transferred back to the safe area to you." ”

Their captain's pace seemed to slow down a little, his features that were deeply outlined in the light looked handsome and a little cold, his slightly thin lips seemed to purse, wanting to ask something, and finally only squeezed out one sentence: "I'll trade it to you." ”

Curly's footsteps seem to be inexplicably lighter.

The system panel opened, and the two quickly completed the handover of the items, and when Curly was about to wait for the newcomer who had been walking at the end of the line for a long time, he heard Brother Xing call his name softly.

"Huh?"

"You seem to be paying a little too much attention to him."

Curly paused slightly, and said with a stinky face: "...... It's good to count as survival points. ”

Points are the only common currency in the escape world.

Players can exchange these points for some necessary supplies, such as the magical universal medical potion, commonly known as "red medicine". Guns or cold weapons that novices can master, as well as some bizarre talents and abilities that go beyond the limits of the human body.

Of course, the points to be paid are also huge.

When they finish a game and return to the player's safe point, the points earned for clearing the dungeon will be settled. There are basic points for clearing the dungeon based on the difficulty of the dungeon, bonus points for completing side quests or special story participation, and survival points based on the number of surviving players...... Especially when the surviving players include newcomers, the survival points will be considerable.

But that "sizable" survival score is not so coveted for veteran team members like Curly, who have always relied on extra bonus points to get the lion's share.

Faced with such a clumsy excuse, the captain didn't say anything more and looked away lightly.

Most of the players had already entered the parlor under the blank gaze of the servants, except for Curly Fur leaning against the doorpost carved with the image of an angel, and when the late newcomer was about to step into the parlor, he stretched out his foot to stop him.

“…… Feed. ”

"If you don't want to die, it's best to heal your injuries as soon as possible." Curly folded his arms, raised his eyebrows in the air, and said arrogantly, "Make a deal." I'll give you medicine to heal your wounds, and you'll give me back my points when you go out—double it." Buying your life, right? ”
