The Veteran Who Played Seven Rounds Died on the Spot

The game screen went black instantly, and the current round ended.

Then, the countdown for the new round began.

The number of players in Zai Zong changed from 20 to 14, then to 7. But it quickly rose again, returning to 20.

This indicates that a large number of players left in the previous round, causing their vacant positions to be filled by other new players.

In short, there's no shortage of people wanting to play.

During the short time it took for the VR headset to finish, Zai Zong took it off, moved a footstool, and sat down in the center of the room.

There was no way around it; my legs were really sore from standing and broadcasting for so long.

Since all movement controls are on the gamepad buttons, he only needs to turn his head. The camera angle can also be rotated on the gamepad, so you can play VR while sitting.

Then let's just sit and play.

After putting the VR headset back on, the game officially began!

Soothing music began to play softly.

The Pitch Black screen gradually brightened.

The Zai Zong put on his Bluetooth headset, looking excited.

"It's starting, brothers! It's finally here! I hope I don't drag my teammates down, I don't want to get yelled at."

The music stopped as soon as he finished speaking.

At the same time, a game notification appeared in front of him.

[In this game, you became Z-FBC-0181 ' Lucky Person ', but your rank is D-Class Personnel, ID D-7783.]

You possess incredible luck, with a 30% chance of opening any locked door or electrical box. A 30% chance of avoiding Pocket Dimension and resisting their damage. A 30% chance of disrupting the power grid.

You need to cooperate with the ' Chaos Insurgency ' to escape the facility as much as possible and avoid encountering other factions.

The Zai Zong.

"0181? The Lucky Person? D-Class Personnel?"

"I'm playing the role of an anomaly? What kind of anomaly is that? Why are they saying I'm D-Class Personnel?"

The Zai Zong a little confused.

Although he had completed the main game, he knew there was still much he hadn't explored.

Especially regarding 'abnormalities', I realized from reading online comments that I missed a lot.

But I've never heard of an 'anomaly' like 0181.

"Wait a minute, the letter before this number is Z, so 0181 must mean very simple and easy, right?"

"Damn it, there's no documentation, so I don't know what 0181 means."

Zai Zong looked down at his own body.

Sure enough, what came into view was the familiar orange clothing, something he had gotten used to seeing even in the main game.

"Okay, I'm D-Class Personnel. But what are Chaos Insurgency? Are they those special soldiers called Nine-Tails at the end of the main body? Or are they those people wearing Mask?"

The Zai Zong a little confused. At this moment, looking around in bewilderment, he began to look around.

He was very familiar with this place.

A bed, a washbasin, a toilet, and a wall table make up this small and cramped Class D dormitory.

Meanwhile, directly above the game screen, a flashing red countdown is slowly counting down.

109876

Upon seeing this, Zai Zong immediately understood that this was the preparatory stage before the game officially began.

Now, the players are in the game and about to start playing!

At the same time, he learned the basic operation of the game through the game prompts.

For example, which key to press to turn on the microphone, etc.

As for the rest, it's basically the same as the game itself.

He's a little excited now, wondering what will happen when he meets other players, and whether they'll help each other out.

Hopefully, there aren't any troublemakers among the insiders!

The Zai Zong glanced at the countdown; quickly, the numbers changed from 3 to 2, then to 1, and finally...

A broadcast came on.

[WARNING! WARNING! Due to an unknown power failure, a large number of abnormalities have gone out of control at the Containment Sites - Site 19!]

[WARNING! WARNING! Attention all security agents: D-Class Personnel found attempting to escape during the chaos within the facility may be executed on the spot according to Protocol UE-1-109. Researchers found should be escorted away if possible.]

[Notice: All D-Class Personnel are to remain in their dormitories immediately and are prohibited from leaving. This is your final warning; please comply!]

Swish—

As soon as the broadcast finished, the mechanical door in front of Zai Zong suddenly opened by itself, revealing the dimly lit passageway outside.

At the same time, the door to the D-level dormitory directly opposite him also opened.

Then

A D-Class Personnel dressed in orange emerged from inside.

Because it was so natural and realistic, Zai Zong thought it was an NPC the moment he saw it.

Because when you look at him, his D-class number will appear in the upper right corner of the screen.

D-6794!

but

The guy across from me had just come out when he started yelling at the top of his lungs.

[Brothers, assemble! All D-Class Personnel in orange uniforms, assemble! Assemble!]

[I've already played 7 rounds! I know how to play; gather all the D-ranks first!]

"Holy crap! Seven games! Did I run into a pro carrying a newbie in the very first game?! I'm following along!"

The Zai Zong overjoyed, and for a moment he felt that his status as the ' Lucky Person ' (0181) was quite fitting for the current situation.

As a newbie, I encountered a pro player in the very first game.

This game is in the bag!

So, Zai Zong was about to turn on his microphone, he heard a series of sounds coming in.

[Wow! That's a real expert!]

[Hey bro, I just started the game and it restarted. I haven't even played a single match yet, how am I supposed to play?]

[Boss! What should we do now? I'm completely clueless, I don't even know where I am!]

[Hey bro, are you looking for a keycard? I just played a game and heard other people saying they needed to find a keycard, but I don't know where to look for it.]

[Boss, we're counting on you!]

Zai Zong:

Good heavens!

Am I in a group of newbies?

At this moment, the guy with 7 points spoke up.

[Excellent, you're the best player among the newcomers in this round.]

[Holy crap! You have a number 0181? Damn, you're an anomaly!]

Before Zai Zong could even react, the surrounding newcomers erupted in excitement.

They were startled and retreated, putting distance Zai Zong.

There was a hint of disbelief in the voice that came on when the microphone was turned on.

[Holy crap! It's an anomaly!? Let me check. Damn, it really is! 0181 ' Lucky Person '! Holy crap! An anomaly has infiltrated our ranks!]

[What to do! What to do! Does anyone have a weapon? Does anyone have a weapon?!]

[Don't panic, everyone! There are 9 of us here! Don't be afraid, he looks like a human being, let's go up and beat him to a pulp!]

[What if he has some special abilities? I don't want to die as soon as I enter the game! This is my first match!]

[Get out of the way, let me do it! Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!]

At this moment, a D-Class Personnel rushed forward, yelling and punching and kicking the Zai Zong. His voice was filled with a sense of resignation.

This Zai Zong.

Fortunately, no Zai Zong convincing everyone that he wasn't an anomaly, and with the other two D-rank players saying they had seen 0181 in the main game, the surrounding players finally believed him.

At this moment, the 7-star boss coughed twice and spoke again.

[In that case, let's work together. By the way, since you're an anomaly, you must have some special abilities, right?]

Upon hearing Zai Zong immediately told the players present about the 30% chance of good luck.

This immediately drew a commotion.

[30%, that's awesome!]

[Could you try out some of the access control systems first, bro?]

[30% damage resistance, that's amazing! No wonder it's an abnormal status!]

[Are you stupid? You said it's to resist damage from Pocket Dimension. But what kind of damage can Pocket Dimension do? I don't understand.]

[I know! The mechanics of the versus mode are different from the base game. In the last game, I got caught in Pocket Dimension where I would continuously lose health, and I would die very quickly if I didn't find a way out in time.]

[Wow, that's serious!? Dude, your 30% chance is amazing!]

At this moment, the 7-handed expert was very satisfied.

[Alright everyone, let's go together. If you see any doors or anything like that, remember to go in and check them for key cards or anything like that.]

[Lucky Person guy, could you open the gate for me this round?]

Upon hearing this, Zai Zong nodded.

"Sure, sure. This is my first time playing, I don't know anything about it. Just tell me what to do."

The 7-player boss was also very enthusiastic.

[No problem, let's go.]

But before he could say more than a few words, the game's broadcast started again.

[Attention all personnel, the lightly controlled zone purification procedure will begin in 15 minutes. All living beings must be evacuated immediately to prevent damage.]

Purification process!?

The players were stunned, including Zai Zong.

What is this?

[Hey bro, what's that over the loudspeaker? What does it mean by "execute in 15 minutes"?]

[Boss, we're not going to die, are we?]

The seven big shots quickly reached out to stop everyone from asking questions.

[You can think of this as a mechanism that forces us to act. We're currently in the lightly controlled area, which is relatively safe. We need to gather as much usable equipment as possible here and then take the elevator to the heavily controlled area above.]

[Isn't this the basic gameplay flow? From the lowest level to the middle level and then to the surface.]

The players suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, indicating that they understood.

So, led by the veteran player who had played 7 games, the D-Class Personnel set off in a grand procession.

Along the way, everyone went into every door that could be opened and ransacked it, and rummaged through every cabinet that could be opened.

Zai Zong played a huge role in this, and actually found a few key cards.

For example, a Level 1 key card was found in the toilet, Level 2 Keycard was found in the GR18 control room.

Furthermore, the control room of W-FBC-0330'Two Candies' was also discovered.

This caused a stir among the crowd, who rushed inside.

Zai Zong himself knew what 0330 was.

This is a bowl of candy, but for some reason, you can only take two pieces of candy from this bowl.

Once the third one is taken, both palms will be instantly severed by an invisible force, leading to death from excessive blood loss.

Don't ask how Zai Zong knows.

In fact, the documentation explicitly points out the Anomaly Trait of this 0330. Since they dared to play the PVP Mode, they must have already played the base game.

Something like taking three candies is unlikely.

[Aaaaaah! My arm is broken?!]

[Help, mine too!]

[Holy crap, didn't you guys know you can only take two of these candies?!]

[Is that really true?!]

Zai Zong:

Two D-Class Personnel died just like that.

Although someone had previously found the 0500 'panacea' that could cure all injuries, along with some medical kits and painkillers, no one would give them the two.

Because it didn't work even after using it.

So, at the repeated requests of the two players, the D-class group successfully left them behind and continued on their way.

Later on the way, they also encountered the body of a researcher.

Upon closer inspection, the text revealed that he was killed by the W-FBC-0173 'Statue' with its neck broken.

This made everyone turn pale.

Having played the game itself, they were well aware of how terrifying 0173 was.

That's a deadly presence that accompanies you from the start of the game until the end!

How many people, after opening the mechanical door, discover it standing behind the door upon hearing the alarm sound?

Many people have become 'time management masters' because of it.

Some people even turned the cracking sound of a neck being twisted and the screams into electronic music and posted it online, bringing tears to people's eyes.

Now, in this PVP Mode, 0173 is no longer controlled by AI, but is actually controlled by other players!

Once discovered, death is certain!

It's estimated that 0173 is currently searching for them all over the lightly controlled area.

[Go! Find the elevator to the heavy control room as soon as possible, it's dangerous here!]

As the seven big shots were speaking, the broadcast started again.

[WARNING! The purification process in the light control zone will begin in 10 minutes.]

Upon hearing this, the crowd, whose faces were already pale, turned even paler.

I said.

This is making matters worse...

Although I don't know what the purification process is, it's clearly forcing people to leave.

And you only have 10 minutes!

0173 is still wandering around!

The D-class soldiers were somewhat panicked, but they still had to leave, and they felt quite at ease following the main group.

After passing through two passages, Zai Zong Zai Zong was walking ahead and observing everything, turned his head and suddenly spotted the control room of Z-FBC-0914 ' Universal Converter ' at an intersection!

This is an 'abnormality' that can make items and props more useful!

Furthermore, processing people can improve their physical fitness and attributes!

Zai Zong felt a little excited when he thought about how he got a set of divine equipment and superhuman physique in the game with the help of the 0914.

[Hey everyone, I see the control room for 0914! Let's go in and do some Ultra-Fine Processing!]

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and puzzled.

[What?! 0914? Holy crap, it really is!]

[Really? Can you modify yourself? Won't you die?]

[Does anyone have a key card? Can Level 3 Keycard open this?]

[Sure, you can unlock it at level 3; it's supposed to be a level 3 card anyway.]

Heeding Zai Zong's words, the group marched in a grand procession to the control room, excitedly preparing for a complete upgrade.

Ouch—Ouch—Ouch—Ouch—Ouch—

Gears roll, friction creates a symphony.

As the massive, heavy metal door slowly slid open to both sides, the enormous industrial machinery inside was revealed to everyone.

The 7-player boss was very happy. He hopped in first, talking into his microphone.

You could tell he was very excited and looking forward to the upcoming upgrade.

[Haha, I've lost 7 out of 7 D-level games in a row, I feel like I can definitely win this one.]

Click—

Uh ah—

Everyone outside the control room, including Zai Zong, was stunned.

In their eyes, the seven most qualified players in this game were the first to die.

The bouncing body instantly transformed into a corpse with limbs outstretched, falling freely to the ground.

The big shot hadn't even finished a complete sentence before the person was sent...

Inside the door of 0914, a statue that I could never forget had appeared out of nowhere!

That cold and terrifying pale yellow profile stunned the group of D-class members, leaving them speechless.

The crowd was terrified when the statue suddenly turned from its side to face forward.

[Wait! It's a trap! Run!]

Suddenly, some idiot shouted, causing chaos among the D-class members, who all turned and ran.

Upon Zai Zong shouted anxiously on the spot.

"Don't run! Keep your eyes on it! Keep your eyes on it!"

Click—

Uh ah—

Click—

Uh ah—

It's too late to say that.

The moment Zai Zong blinked, 0173's statue vanished from before.

Then, a crisp sound of bones twisting and a person screaming came through the Bluetooth headset.

The Zai Zong realized that they had been tricked by the old silver coin!

This chapter has been rewritten; I didn't quite capture the feeling I got from the previous one.
