My face felt a little cool.

It seems... it's raining?

Consciousness gradually returned.

The rain was noisy in my ears, the air was damp, and the wind was icy in my face.

Cheng Shi slowly opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by mist and clouds.

It really did rain.

Light rain.

The rain was incessant, gentle and persistent.

He didn't care that the drizzle had soaked his hair and clothes, nor did he rush to take out an umbrella from his personal space. Instead, he immediately looked around.

This place seems to be on the mountainside of a high mountain, and as far as the eye can see, there are mountain peaks all around.

The lush greenery and abundant vegetation, along with the long-lost breath of the wilderness, made Cheng Shi feel refreshed.

Nature's beauty truly is a purifier of negative emotions.

Just as he stretched out his arms to embrace the raindrops falling into his embrace, his teammates opened their eyes one by one.

"Hey bro, what's going on? Who are you praising?"

"Field?"

"Ah cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"The humidity is too high and the air pressure is very low. A rainstorm is coming."

"Although this is our first meeting, I have to interrupt your enjoyment of the rain with some not-so-good news:"

Our personal space has been locked.

"?"

Cheng Shi was taken aback, then abruptly withdrew his hand, his consciousness beginning to activate his personal space.

However, the space that used to be easily accessible is now completely unresponsive!

"!!!"

What this person said is true; the personal storage space was actually locked!

This is truly unbelievable! Every time, it's a new and unique problem, right?

The Trials of [Annihilation] are mostly about survival, or even a life-or-death escape.

In His Trials Grounds, there are all sorts of survival challenges, so after experiencing many beatings, players will purposefully prepare some survival tools.

With limited personal space, it's not enough to pack all household items, so more and more people like Cheng Shi are "cramming" at the last minute.

Unexpectedly, there are countermeasures from below and policies from above.

This Trials actually sealed off my personal space.

This is something I've never heard of before.

Cheng Shi glanced at the ring on his hand and secretly felt lucky.

Fortunately, I didn't keep this Demigod Artifact in my personal space because I couldn't bear to part with it, otherwise I would have just walked away.

The items in his own space were merely icing on the cake for the Trials; losing them would not have a Cheng Shi, let alone cause his strength to plummet or lead to his death.

This is exactly what Cheng Shi has been wary of.

Nothing external is as real as becoming stronger yourself.

Of course, this excludes those who can cling to you to the very end.

"Holy crap, are you serious?"

After trying for a long time without getting anything out, a male player grumbled and wiped the rain off his face.

Although his face looked grim, he was not in Despair.

Clearly, this person has the confidence to back it up.

But as for the others...

Cheng Shi rubbed the rainwater off his face, making his expression look more frightened, and then quickly peeked at the others through the gaps between his fingers.

There were five teammates in total: besides the man from earlier, there were three men and one woman.

The expressions on these people's faces were all different.

An old man with white hair kept coughing, his hands on his knees and his head slightly drooping. His whole face was contorted, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

But Cheng Shi found that his lower body was very stable. Even though he was coughing like that, his feet were firmly rooted in the rain-soaked mud and he didn't move an inch.

A young man with a backpack frowned slightly, unfolded his clothes to protect his bag, and it seemed that there was something inside that couldn't get wet.

Cheng Shi glanced at it and guessed from the outline of the bag what kind of weapons were inside, and that they were short and multiple of them.

The person who reminded everyone was a burly man with sharp features, piercing eyes, and powerful arms, clearly a damage-dealing type of character.

He had thick calluses on both hands; if I'm not mistaken, he was a Hunter.

As for the last one...

Wow, that's quite eye-catching.

She was a thin, frail pink-haired girl.

A pair of bright eyes blinked, and a smile played on her lips as she surveyed her surroundings, seemingly unconcerned that her personal space had been sealed off.

Cheng Shi's gaze quickly swept over her face, feeling that she looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But because the face-rubbing and scrutinizing movements were too quick, there wasn't time to think about it carefully.

But to everyone's surprise, someone called out her name the next second.

"You are... Tao Yi!?"

Who?

Cheng Shi looked at the girl with some surprise, only to find that everyone else was looking at her with slight astonishment.

The pink-haired girl smiled, her eyes narrowing, revealing a mischievous smile like a little fox.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tao Yi."

Upon hearing that melodious voice, as clear as a nightingale's song, Cheng Shi finally remembered who this familiar-looking girl was.

Tao Yi, a rising star actress who debuted as a singer but didn't gain much fame after seven or eight years, suddenly became a household name across the country after playing a minor role as a maid in a period comedy for a friend.

This palace comedy is called "Spring Breeze Is Inevitably Unsatisfactory," which tells the twisted ethical love story of an extremely absurd ordinary girl who is forced into marriage into a royal palace by a series of coincidences, but eventually falls in love with a cross-dressing prince.

Tao Yi plays the maid of the villainous second female lead's cousin who has a crush on the female lead.

Because the person is mischievous and always gets in the wrong way, the whole plot basically ends up giving the male (female) lead a victory.

As a result, viewers' favorability towards her soared, even surpassing that of the female lead at one point, making her the most popular female character in the show.

Cheng Shi never watches TV dramas, but he couldn't stand his colleagues talking nonsense all the time, and eventually he learned about this person.

He watched the celebrities on the TV screen appear beside him and couldn't help but sigh:

She's even thinner than the person in the photo.

Wow, the world is amazing. You can even run into a big star Trials.

"Holy crap, it's a real person! I almost didn't recognize her with her pink hair. What a pity, your acting career was just starting, and this awful game has already happened..."

The man who recognized Tao Yi kept talking, as if he had endless things to say.

"Uh, actually I prefer singing to acting."

"So... you're probably a Singer?"

"Uh, I'm Mage."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dude, if you try to flirt like that, you're probably not going to get anything out of it.

Tao Yi smiled, her eyes narrowed, and pointed to herself:

"Let me reintroduce myself. Tao Yi, [Life], Mage, 1783."

Tao Yi, [Life], Mage, 1783

The man who had spoken to him was still rambling on:

"That's quite a coincidence. I'm also Mage, and I'm also an actor."

I've loved the Starry Sky and science fiction since I was a child, and as I grew up, I became even more obsessed with them. After entering the entertainment industry, I always wanted to act in a science fiction film that I envisioned, but unfortunately, I missed the casting opportunity for the "Three-Body Problem" production team, so I could only work in some small production teams to gain experience first.

I've played the third male lead in many dramas, the most-watched of which is "The Amazing Starship Immortal Emperor," where I played Zhu Chao, a general from the Demon Realm. I'm ranked quite high on the list of most popular characters. Tao Yi, have you seen it...?

As the guy spoke faster and faster, everyone's expressions became increasingly strange.

Cheng Shi's face was almost frozen with embarrassment; he really wanted to squat down and check if the soles of his shoes had been scratched to pieces.

That's so awkward.

Bro, I don't think you're suited to act in "The Three-Body Problem." Go act in "The Three-Body Syndrome," and you're guaranteed to be the lead!

Perhaps noticing the constipated look on everyone's faces, the talkative demon general Zhu Chao finally realized he had introduced himself in the wrong context. He chuckled awkwardly twice, scratched his head, and said:

"Sorry, I was too excited to see Tao Yi. My name is Su Yida, [Existence], Mage, born in 1864."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

This Demon Realm Big Sauce is lying.

Su Yida, [existence], Mage, 1864
