Dongshui City, inside an ordinary residential complex.
Liu Chengfu, an ordinary young man, sat on the balcony of a seventh-floor apartment, typing on his phone.
"Why did so many people suddenly show up in that junk-picking game? I remember we only sent out a distress signal to one person." He posted this in a chat group.
Very soon, someone with the nickname "Devil King Fights the Hero" replied, "I don't know either. Could the Devil Kings have pulled them in? Bringing in so many people at once—can they even handle them?"
"Disgusting..." someone nicknamed "Little Chicken Fights Mushroom" said indignantly. She seemed to be a girl.
"Sorry, Mushroom, slip of the tongue. We haven't even cleared the first stage yet, and suddenly so many people have come. It's completely beyond what we imagined. The camp definitely won't have enough room for everyone," Liu Chengfu replied.
"Yeah. We originally wanted to find someone powerful to save us from hell, but so many people came all at once. Do you think the Devil Kings are showing off to us—telling us not to struggle, because it's useless? Even if the strongest humans in the world came, they could only struggle inside their game," said someone nicknamed "Crafting Little Dwarves."
"Don't worry about that for now. Let's think about how to get in touch with those people. It'll soon be time to log in."
"Yeah, it's getting harder and harder. It's like a game, but not really a game. We can't level up or train. Trying to defeat those monsters is just too hard."
Complaints filled the chat group, and Liu Chengfu joined in with a few grumbles of his own.
Still, he believed that with so many people arriving this time, perhaps the option to level up and train would be unlocked?
