The Big Shot Died Before Achieving Anything

It looks the same, but the material is completely different.

Living flesh and blood turned into Plastic skin, terrified eyes became glass beads, trembling outstretched hands froze in mid-air and turned into plastic, and synthetic hair had a rather stiff, Plastic texture...

Seeing the other person's body slowly stiffen, everyone tacitly moved a distance away from each other.

--This is the fifth victim in the team, within 48 hours of entering this Hell manor.

... Time Regression to two days ago.

Just as the Girl who first entered the manor said, given that the system had clearly stated that the Dungeon Type was Deadly Escape Type, gathering together would only increase the probability of being attacked.

We've all met by chance; unless we're particularly close, who could truly entrust their back to another person?

When you encounter a tiger, you don't need to run faster than the tiger; you only need to run faster than your companions.

The human heart is a truly unpredictable thing. Can you be sure that your companions won't push you towards a tiger in order to save their own lives when faced with danger?

In this situation, while the Lone Wolf aren't the best option, they're still a decent choice.

--Of course, this is based on having absolute confidence in one's own abilities.

"Looks like a Big Shot... Sure enough, a pitiful, weak, and helpless Newbie like me shouldn't be involved in such a dangerous Dungeon."

Looking at the entrance over there, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel quite emotional.

See? That's what you call prestige! Those few short sentences vividly portrayed the image of a peerless Expert. Indeed, someone dressed like that to participate in this Dungeon is definitely a top-tier expert...

"Boom--!!"

Before Bai Zhi could finish his reflection, a violent roar erupted from within the manor. Amidst the sudden surge of thick smoke, a tattered pair of headphones flew out from inside the wall with a "thud" and landed right in front of him.

Everyone: "..."

"What the hell is this? Trap Mirror Maze..."

Faintly, a rather exasperated voice could be heard coming from inside the walls.

In the blink of an eye, the expressions on everyone's faces became quite interesting.

"... We didn't mean or think that way; we were just sticking together for warmth."

After a long while, March-shi coughed a few times and then began to speak.

"However, we understand your concerns, as it's only natural... So, farewell then. We'll help if you encounter any danger."

After saying these words, she glanced at Bai Zhi with a hint of regret, and then led the other four into the March-shi Rose Manor.

In the previous amusement park Dungeon, he had witnessed the opponent's reasoning ability. If he could recruit the opponent into his team, everything would be much easier... What a pity.

With the arrival of the five of them, only Bai Zhi and his two companions remained outside the manor.

"If you don't mind, how about the three of us form a temporary team?"

Turning his gaze away from the tattered headphones in front of him, Bai Zhi looked up at the two people in front of him, and casually revealed his ID.

[Black&White]

After staring at the ID he displayed for a moment, the Big Guy nodded and gave a friendly smile.

"Sure, I've heard Iron Blood mention you; you're a very reliable Teammate."

As he spoke, he also showed his Player ID.

[Steel Bones] is an ID that perfectly captures the spirit of Soldier.

"Iron Blood... he wasn't involved in this large-scale mission?"

Recalling the Big Guy Soldier he had encountered during his mission at the Orphanage, Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"We can't possibly devote all our Strength to Binhai City. The situation in some places is far more serious than here, and we also need manpower in other cities... All of these things require people to handle."

Steel Bones shook his head.

"I was assigned to analyze the specifics of this Large-scale Campaign Quest."

"Is there any place more severely affected than Binhai City...? That place is truly plagued by disasters."

Letting out a breath, Bai Shang looked at the last Player remaining in the arena.

"And you? What are your thoughts? Would you like to temporarily join us?"

Upon hearing this, the Young Girl, who was writing something on a piece of paper, looked up.

After thinking for a moment, the Young Girl took off the hood she was wearing, revealing a neat and short head of hair.

"So, do you want to join?"

Looking at the Young Girl in front of him, Bai Zhi seemed a little puzzled.

"..."

After glancing at Bai Zhi again, the Young Girl nodded slightly and, with a somewhat puzzled expression, revealed her ID.

[Dead Zero▪Indefinite]

One by one, all nine Player stepped onto the cobblestone path leading to the Rose Manor.

The mirrors on both sides of the road reflected the Players' every move, and the refraction of the mirrors made the view even more intricate and complex.

The cobblestone path only extended a short distance to the bend. After rounding the bend and seeing the scene before them, Bai Zhi finally understood why the "Big Shot" who had gone in first had ended up in such a miserable state...

After a short stretch of cobblestone path, they came to a smooth grid patterned path, each grid just big enough for two feet to stand in, clearly defined at a glance.

The problem is that this is not common grid pattern, because some of the grids have been stepped on, revealing more than a dozen numbers of various sizes, ranging from 1 to 6.

"Oh, it's Minesweeper..."

Looking at the checkered floor in front of him, Bai Zhi's lips twitched slightly. He could roughly guess what had happened.

The big Big Shot wasn't prepared for the grid-like path when he entered, and by sheer bad luck, he stepped on a landmine, getting blown away...

That's terrible.

Judging from the power of the Explosion, if the Player wasn't carrying any Protective Gear, they would definitely be severely injured, and those with slightly lower Constitution attributes might even be killed outright.

After all, who could have guessed that such a modern-style Minesweeper Game would exist on the checkered floor of a manor filled with Western characteristics?

"In about a minute, the grid will dim again... Follow behind me."

After shaking his head slightly and saying something to the two people behind him, Bai Zhi embarked on the Minesweeper journey.
