Devouring Flesh and Blood [Erosion Mist]
As Xu Lian revealed her Player Information, the atmosphere in the Gazebo immediately became eerie once again.
While Level doesn't fully represent Player's overall strength, there's no doubt that the higher the Level, the more Anomaly Incident a Player experiences, the more experience they gain, and the stronger they become.
They didn't mean to look down on Newbie Player, but while the previous players hadn't revealed their Level, this guy was the Unique who brazenly displayed his Level information... Wasn't this guy a little stupid?
They can accept weak Player, but they cannot accept incredibly stupid Player. After all, bad Teammate are far more terrifying than any Anomaly; they can cause a complete team wipe at the slightest provocation...
Displaying Player ID, for example, is actually a small test.
"... Even a tiny screw can serve its purpose, and toilet paper can be used to wipe your bottom. I guarantee it won't bother you."
Bai Zhi glanced at Xu Lian with a slightly speechless expression and spoke first.
"Really? But do you know how many Player have died in this amusement park so far? We know of at least 43."
The March-shi smiled and spoke.
"If you want to join our temporary team, you'd better put aside that pointless sympathy."
"What? You look down on Newbie Player?"
Finally understanding something, Xu Lian shouted with some dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you all start from lower Level?"
"We don't look down on low -Level Player, we just don't want to accept Player with mental problems."
She glanced at her, and the March-shi still wore a smile.
"This amusement park is strange. We've already learned our lesson once, and we don't want to fall into the same trap a second time."
"You...!?"
"Then let's exchange intelligence, how about it? I should be able to offer some information that might interest you."
Bai Zhi reached out to interrupt the exclamation mark following "Yay!" and nodded, indicating that he understood the other party's actions.
"If you're not even willing to do this, then forget it."
"No need, we can tell you all that information."
West Pavilion Gardener shook his head.
"As I've said before, we're in the same camp, there's no need to fight amongst ourselves at this juncture, and besides, this isn't anything of much value."
"In that case, I'll go first."
Because of West Pavilion Gardener's words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but think more highly of him.
The opponent was clearly the strongest here, because as soon as he spoke, the man with the memorable Slitted Eyes wisely kept quiet.
The strong always possess certain privileges.
To be honest, Bai Zhi had only been in this amusement park for less than two hours, so theoretically he hadn't obtained any valuable information.
However, things cannot be judged solely on this aspect. At the very least, Bai Zhi was certain that these Player in front of him were unaware of this.
... For example, the White Mist that also permeates the Real World.
"Has the influence of the Inner World on the outside world already appeared so quickly?"
After listening to Bai Zhi's explanation, West Pavilion Gardener frowned deeply.
"What, is there anything Special about that White Mist?"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly. (And the book)
"Let me explain. Based on our deductions, the White Mist permeating the area around the amusement park can rapidly Corrosion flesh. As long as you leave the amusement park area, or come into contact with that white mist, it will quickly lead to death... We have conducted many experiments on pigeons."
With a slight smile, March-shi took the initiative to speak.
"Of course, there were also quite a few incredibly stupid Player who provided us with a significant amount of data support. If the same White Mist as in the Inner World were to appear in the Real World..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning he wanted to convey was quite clear.
"Uh... I don't think so?"
Before Bai Zhi could speak, Xu Lian spoke up, sounding slightly uncertain.
"I also walked through the fog this morning, but I wasn't hurt at all?"
"The influence of the Inner World on the Real World is not instantaneous, but rather a slow and accelerating erosion that occurs over time."
Bai Zhi turned to look at Xu Lian, his expression noncommittal.
"Simply put, if we can't clear this Dungeon before things deteriorate beyond repair, the fog in the Real World will evolve into the same state as in the Inner World... Let's call this White Mist the [Erosion Mist]. You can imagine how many people will die in the Real World when the [Erosion Mist] spreads."
"Well..."
"That's right, the worst has happened."
With a slightly surprised look at Bai Zhi, West Pavilion Gardener touched his forehead and sighed.
"Our goal now is no longer to leave this amusement park, but to find a way to sever the connection between the Erosion Mist and the Real World... Dugu, if any new Player head towards the amusement park entrance later, try to rescue them. We need information from the Real World."
"No problem."
Nodding, Dugu Nine Warships released the pigeon that had been perched on his shoulder back into the air.
"Alright, now it's your turn to provide us with intelligence, right?"
Bai Zhi glanced at Dugu Nine Warships and quickly looked away, then narrowed his eyes as he looked at the West Pavilion Gardener in front of him.
"What dangers are lurking in this amusement park? Also... how many days have you been here?"
"What do you mean, 'a few days'? The Large-scale Campaign Quest has only been going on for less than eight hours!"
Before West Pavilion Gardener could reply, Xu Lian spoke up with a surprised expression, completely ruining the imposing aura that Bai Zhi had painstakingly built up.
Bai Zhi: "..."
"... Three days, we've been trapped here for more than three days."
After giving the young man in front of him a deep look, West Pavilion Gardener slowly spoke.
