Arrival: Players from Another World

She pulled Mu Qiansè extra clothes around her tightly and followed Bai Zhi out the door.

It's around 4 p. m. right now, and the sky outside is still incredibly gloomy. However, the temperature drop seems to have stopped and hasn't continued to fall. Although the weather is still cold, it's barely within a tolerable range.

Before nightfall, they needed to go to the Store to replenish their essential supplies; otherwise, they would have to rely on instant noodles to survive the night.

"Is it really okay to just go out like this?"

With her hands tucked into her pockets, Mu Qiansè walked through the lonely, cold, and deserted stairwell, unable to resist asking Bai Zhi, who was walking about two spaces ahead of her.

"We currently know absolutely nothing about this [Large-scale Dungeon] that's about to open. What if it attracts the attention of those Monsters?"

Since Bai Zhi didn't have any suitable women's clothing in her wardrobe, the clothes she was wearing were ones that Bai Zhi had found in a corner of the wardrobe. Although they didn't fit her perfectly, they were at least warm Special Effect.

"What's meant to be will be; we can't escape it. There's no point in running away."

Squinting slightly, Bai Zhi peered out the window at the dry, cold world outside, his expression noncommittal.

"Instead of being timid and hesitant, it's better to become stronger as soon as possible. That's the only way to..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes, looking down at the open space in the residential area. In the short time he had been talking to Mu Qiansè, a figure had silently appeared in that open space.

He was currently at the entrance to the Second Floor stairwell, so he could clearly see the figure that had suddenly appeared in the open space of the community.

--He was a Black Military Uniform dressed in a style completely different from this world, with a long sword at his waist, exuding a dignified and noble air, and carrying an indescribable majesty.

"Player from Otherworld... they arrived so quickly?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly as he watched the other person's figure.

Although he had learned about the ins and outs of the [Large-scale Dungeon] from a certain White-haired loli, and also knew that Player from Otherworld would descend upon this world, he hadn't expected that Player from Otherworld would arrive so soon.

Seemingly sensing his gaze, the black-haired man turned his head and glanced in his direction. In the instant their eyes met, Bai Zhi clearly saw the other man's Golden Eyes light up beneath his bangs.

"Why did you suddenly stop? Didn't you say we were in a hurry...?!"

With a slightly puzzled look at Bai Zhi, who had suddenly stopped, Mu Qiansè took a few steps forward and followed his gaze downstairs. However, when she saw the figure of the man in the Black Military Uniform, her eyes met those Golden Eyes.

In an instant, Mu Qiansè involuntarily let out a muffled groan, and her whole body involuntarily staggered back several steps as if she had been hit hard, almost falling to the ground.

Be careful.

Reaching out to help the other person steady themselves, Bai Zhi gave a brief instruction before squinting at the figure below.

The other party's small action was already a provocative act, akin to a declaration of war. Yet, even so, the other party showed no intention of apologizing, instead revealing a slightly mocking and provocative smile.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi stretched out his hand and gave the other person a big middle finger. 🖕🏻

"Oh..."

The smile on his face froze slightly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as if he were muttering something to himself. Then he turned and strode out of the residential area.

Bai Zhi understood the meaning of the other person's lip movements.

I'll remember you.

"... What was that thing just now? Was it Anomaly?"

Sitting against the wall on the stairs, Mu Qiansè looked still shaken.

When she met those burning Golden Eyes, an unprecedented and terrifying pressure came crashing down on her, as if it would completely engulf her.

"Regardless of whether the other party is human or Anomaly, you definitely need to strengthen your Mental Strength."

Standing to the side, arms crossed and leaning against the stair railing, Bai Zhi shook his head with a look of utter disappointment.

"That was just a common Mental Shock. As long as one's mind is even slightly resilient, it won't have much of an impact... Your weakness is too obvious."

"So I'm trying to overcome... Who was that person just now? The Fallen Player' you mentioned before?"

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, completely oblivious to the adage that curiosity killed the cat, Mu Qiansè couldn't help but steer the conversation back to the topic.

"I'll tell you about that later. Let's go buy the necessary supplies first... The [Large-scale Dungeon] isn't fully open yet, so talking to you about this now would be a waste of breath."

Bai Zhi glanced at the Young Girl sitting on the stairs and extended his hand to her.

"How are you? Can you still walk?"

"Uh... it's nothing serious, I just almost twisted my ankle..."

With a slight hesitation, she reached out and grasped the other person's outstretched hand, standing up from the ground. The Young Girl's expression showed a hint of embarrassment.

"... Let's hurry up and leave, it'll be bad if we wait until it gets dark."

Her words were not alarmist, because as time went on, the number of Anomaly appearing in the air as projections from other worlds grew.

In the brief moment they lingered in the stairwell, a Giant Foot, tens of meters tall, fell from the sky and landed in the open space in front of the residential area.

This is simply a Giant Foot, tens of meters tall, covered in thick leg hair. Judging from its size, it's clear that it comes from the same Otherworld as the Giant Spider from before.

... I don't know what kind of unlucky Otherworld it was.
