In a state of mental fog, Yimo found himself in a dim room.
Before he could even observe his surroundings, his attention was captured by the light before him.
To be precise, it was a constantly changing card!
Countless shimmering cards appeared before Yimo. They were initially spread out, then overlapped in the next second, their backs emitting various lights.
If one looked closely, there was even a small introduction in the lower right corner of his vision.
"Card Drop Rates Revealed:
N: 83.5% (White) R: 10% (Brass) SR: 5% (Silver) SSR: 1% (Gold) SSR+: 0.5% (Rainbow)"
Wait, is this… a gacha pull?
With years of gaming experience, Yimo immediately understood what was happening.
But before he could examine the details below, the card's color had already been decided.
A white light…
A blinding white light.
"Damn it… the system really screwed me over!"
Yimo muttered to himself. His previous attempt at free character creation hadn't even worked. It felt like figuring out the ultimate strategy in a game, only for his internet to suddenly cut out, making it impossible to log in.
Normally, when criticizing a game, one would criticize the CEO.
But unfortunately, Yimo didn't know who the CEO of this company, if it even was a real game, was. So, he could only silently curse the lifespan of the system that disguised itself as a loli.
Yimo hadn't held out much hope. Although he didn't know what he was drawing for, who wouldn't want to pull an SSR and immediately be the envy of everyone?
A blank…
Oh well, this is just life. There's no real reason to be angry. After all, it was just a single pull. If he had actually gotten something good, Yimo, who usually didn't have great luck, would have been uneasy.
But, at that very moment.
The moment the white card flipped over, it actually rippled with a rainbow-colored light, almost blinding Yimo's dog eyes.
It felt like staring directly into a spotlight on a stage.
As the rainbow card flipped, a rainbow halo rippled outwards, and the system's prompt echoed in Yimo's ears.
"Congratulations, you have drawn an SSR+ card, exclusive limited edition, Inner Persona Girlfriend."
"Card Description: Be grateful, your lifespan for this lifetime has been sacrificed! You're a single dog, yet you've been assigned a beautiful girlfriend in a death game! Hah… burn it!"
What the…
Yimo seriously suspected that this system had sentience and could read minds.
If he was thinking on the third level, this system was definitely operating on a much higher plane!
Before Yimo could react, the system prompted him whether he wanted to continue drawing cards.
Of course, it cost points. A single pull was 500 points, and a ten-pull was 5000 points. While there was no discount, a ten-pull guaranteed at least one SR.
For Yimo, who had zero points, he didn't even consider it and skipped it directly.
At this moment, other people's voices could already be heard.
But before Yimo could observe them, his vision changed again. Rows of text appeared, accompanied by the system's loli voice, which was noticeably less emotional than before.
"Game Name: Murderer in the Mine."
"Game Type: Survival."
"Number of Participants: 8."
"Game Rules: 1. Game players are divided into two factions: the Murderer faction and the Survivor faction. If all Survivors die, the Murderer faction wins. If the Murderer disappears or fails to complete the required tasks, the Survivor faction wins.
2. The Murderer's physical abilities are doubled and they automatically receive a weapon upon gaining their identity. They can attack any Survivor.
3. Survivors cannot attack the Murderer, and Survivors cannot attack other Survivors.
4. One random Survivor player will receive the item 'Exorcism Talisman'. If the player who receives the 'Exorcism Talisman' is attacked by the Murderer, the Murderer player dies.
5. Undisclosed.
6. Undisclosed.
7. Failure Penalty: Death.
8. Game card abilities take precedence over current game rules."
"Game Introduction: This is no ordinary mine. It is filled with strange and eerie occurrences, so it's not surprising that there might be a murderer, is it?"
"But in the end, was it a person or a ghost who picked up the knife and killed?"
.
This is outrageous... absolutely outrageous!!!
This was Yimo's first impression. Everything that had happened since he started using that broken game platform APP had completely surpassed his understanding.
But he didn't dare to be careless and carefully read the game introduction.
As the lines of text finished appearing, Yimo found that the rules in front of him could now be hidden or displayed. His first action wasn't to pay attention to anyone else, but to hide the game rules and then look at the card he had just drawn.
As he imagined it in his mind, the card appeared before him.
A card emitting a seven-colored glow appeared in his vision, seemingly a photo of a beautiful girl along with some of her data.
It was a shame, though, that it was all pixelated.
"Inner Persona Girlfriend (Unawakened)"
Beneath a vast expanse of pixels, these were the only two pieces of information visible.
"Inner Persona: 42%"
"Card Ability: ..."
There were only two items. The first was incomprehensible.
Upon reading the second item, Yimo's heart skipped a beat, and his brow furrowed.
Before Yimo could ponder further, he was drawn to an arrogant voice.
"Holy crap! What kind of hellhole is this place!"
"Murderer? What kind of game is this!!!"
"You promised a beautiful girl game!!"
"Let me out of here! If I ever catch you, I'll beat you to death!!!"
Yimo was currently in a dilapidated room resembling a storage area, about 50 square meters in size. It was cluttered with all sorts of miscellaneous items, covered in a thick layer of dust, and had no windows. The white light was dim, flickering intermittently as if there was a faulty connection.
The one shouting loudly was a young man with dyed yellow hair, dressed fashionably with earrings, who was currently cursing profusely.
Above his head floated a line of semi-transparent text: "Arrogant Young Master Six."
"Yeah, yeah, what did you guys do to me?"
"If anything happens to me, my dad will never forgive you!"
As the yellow-haired youth continued his loud outburst, a girl with similarly dyed yellow hair and heavy makeup, dressed like a delinquent, also started yelling. The text above her head read "I Love Brother."
However, unlike the first person, this little delinquent was actually crying.
As for the others, some wore expressions of annoyance, while others remained indifferent, as if looking at dead people. Most of them took a few steps back, distancing themselves from the pair.
Among them, a beautiful girl in a pink JK uniform caught Yimo's attention.
Of course, it wasn't because of her good figure or pretty face.
It was purely because her pair of red eyes were currently fixed on him with a chilling gaze, like a venomous snake.
She... his girlfriend?
Yimo's body instinctively felt a chill. He wanted to look away, but found that her eyes seemed to possess a magical quality, making it impossible to avert his gaze. Cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
She... wants to kill me...
For some reason, Yimo had this feeling.
Just as Yimo was unsure of what to do next, a hand patted his shoulder, and a friendly voice sounded in his ear, "Hey, bro, wanna chat for a bit?"
