"Greed": This Was the Seed of Hope He Had Unearthed with His Own Hands!
After reviewing the game, Xu Xi closed her eyes to rest and then chose to continue playing the Dungeon.
After his previous self-analysis, his mindset has changed again.
Instead of wasting time waiting for the Dungeon to appear, it's better to be proactive and actively try to conquer Dungeon.
For him, there are only two possible outcomes: either he dies in the Dungeon, or he successfully climbs the ladder.
It's all going to happen sooner or later, so he shouldn't stay cooped up in the Player Space anymore.
When Xu Xi opened her eyes, she found herself standing on a dirt road.
There were five other people around him.
The first one was a man in a suit who looked like an elite.
The second young man was wearing a baseball cap and had a rather sunny appearance.
The third one is a girl wearing a long dress who looks gentle and kind.
The fourth person was a Tall, Thin Man with a gloomy demeanor.
The last one is a woman with curly hair and a fashionable appearance.

The outside world at this time.
Blue Star, Huaguo, J Province TV Station.
On the Production Team "Shining Players," host Song Yan felt quite embarrassed as she watched the barrage of negative comments on the big screen.
Sigh, how did this mess end up on her shoulders?
The two experts who had been invited to the side also looked somewhat stiff.
They weren't unaware of how bad the show's reputation was; they originally didn't want to come, but the Production Team offered them so much.
But upon seeing the almost obscene comments, both of them simultaneously felt regret.
How could I not resist the temptation?
Now I guess I'll just have to sit here and get personally attacked.
How dare you continue hosting this show???
Please, stop! If you keep broadcasting like this, our entire J Province will be wiped out sooner or later.
[Our province finally has another genius player, and you guys can't wait to wreak havoc?]
[Fuck you all *@&#% (Banned)]
[If you guys poison Xu Xi to death, I'll hang myself in front of your house!]
[Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell]
[I've already reported you. I refuse to believe we can't eradicate this cancer of yours.]
"Hello everyone, dear viewers! Welcome to the program 'Shining Players,' I'm your host Song Yan." Even though she was being criticized and secretly wished the Production Team would go out of business, Song Yan still demonstrated her professionalism as a host, smiling as she looked at the big screen.
Ignoring the colorful and varied comments on the screen, Song Yan smiled and introduced, "The two people sitting next to me are Mr. Cao Hongbo, a renowned psychology expert who has published influential books such as 'The Hidden Secrets of Human Nature' and 'Psychological Suggestion,' and Mr. Ge Ying, a famous suspense writer who has authored masterpieces such as 'I Killed Myself' and 'Innocent.' It is our honor to have these two experts on the Production Team."
Regardless of what Cao Hongbo and Ge Ying were thinking, they both put on friendly smiles and greeted the big screen.
After the two had finished greeting each other, Song Yan forced herself to continue with her opening remarks.
"Recently, a Dungeon video has gone viral online, to the point of topping the trending searches. The video's views have now reached 800 million. I'm sure those of you who've heard this know who I'm talking about, right? That's right, it's the player who completed the Dungeon in 2 minutes and 48 seconds on his first try— Xu Xi!"
"They are also the subjects of our live broadcast today."
We'd love for you not to stream him.
[What grudge do the players have against you that they have to curse them?]
Do you even understand the value of 248? It's unique in the world! If you guys were to die from poisoning, could you afford to compensate us? I'm just asking.
[This stupid Production Team should just get selected for the Dungeon run already, we just want to watch your live stream!]
[I'm putting my words here: if Xu Xi dies, I won't live either.]
[... What good are your threats?]
Song Yan was also feeling bad.
She didn't want to be a host on this stupid Production Team, but she was just an ordinary working person, and since no one else was willing to be scolded, they forcibly transferred her here to be the one who gets scolded.
She is the 28th host this show has had.
The higher-ups initially thought this was related to the host and the invited experts, but after changing batches of people and even several venues, they finally discovered that it seemed to be just a problem with the program itself. However, for some reason, the higher-ups were unwilling to cancel the program.
Among the 28 hosts before her, the one who stayed on stream for the longest time had more than 20 players, but then got upset by the barrage of criticism in the chat and is now reportedly undergoing psychological treatment.
Song Yan didn't think she was any stronger than her colleague. She had already made up her mind that after the live stream with the player named Xu Xi, she would apply for a job transfer, and if her superiors didn't agree, she would resign.
I can just quit.
It's such a pity for this talented player.
2 minutes and 48 seconds! Who says she doesn't understand the value of this data? Having hosted numerous Dungeon analysis channels, she knows it all too well!
"Mr. Cao Hongbo and Mr. Ge Ying will conduct an in-depth analysis and discussion of this Dungeon and the players' actions. Let's look forward to the outstanding performance of player Xu Xi and her teammates." With a quiet sigh, Song Yan forced herself to stay focused. "Now, let's look at the big screen."
As soon as she finished speaking, the large screen lit up instantly, displaying six players, including Xu Xi.
[Huh? I didn't expect Cheng Xu to be here too. He actually got matched with the great Xu Xi!]
[Damn, this Dungeon is a sure thing! These two together are going to be a monster!]
[You're overthinking it. Have you forgotten what this Production Team is like? It'll be a Xu Xi for Xu Xi, Cheng Xu might even get dragged down with her.]
[I remember Cheng Xu entered the Dungeon a month earlier than Xu Xi, and he's already ranked 89th on the leaderboard.]
[Yes, this seems to be his 7th Dungeon.]
Cheng Xu enters Dungeons at the God Hunt's Default Seven-Day Interval, while Xu Xi just finished Dungeon the day before yesterday and logged off again today. It'll probably be long before he starts climbing the rankings.
[How can I possibly take any more? I'm going to die from the poison today!]
[Shut the hell up, I said he can charge, so he can charge]
[By the way, what does Cheng Xu look like? I haven't seen his Dungeon. Is he the one wearing a baseball cap? He seems pretty sunny and cheerful.]
[No, it's that gloomy, tall, thin guy.]
[This really doesn't match the name.]
Seeing that the comments section had briefly diverted attention, Song Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Yang squatted in front of his computer, watching the footage of the "Shining Players" Production Team on the screen, feeling particularly upset.
Public opinion from the outside world did not put any pressure on the Production Team.
At that moment, he inexplicably empathized with the comment in the live stream that Xu Xi was dead and he wouldn't live either.
These were seeds of hope that he had personally dug out!
