Secondly, as Jia said, when you become familiar with something, even if it brings you pain and suffering, you will like it because you can no longer live without the feeling of Pain!
Upon seeing the white light, this sentence suddenly popped into Li Wei's mind.
This is what mission teleportation feels like.
As the light faded, Li Wei arrived at an open space.
The first thing Li Wei saw after regaining his sight was a person, and that person was also looking at him.
Although there were many familiar faces around, Li Wei was only drawn to this one person at this moment, because this person carried too much of his life.
Furthermore, Li Wei was somewhat surprised to see her here.
She was still the same, except that she had cut her long hair short. Her tall figure was clad in a set of purple armor that fit her perfectly without being bulky, showcasing her physique beautifully. However, at this moment, the icy look in the eyes of the beautiful woman, whose face was originally cold and aloof, melted away the instant she saw Li Wei.
The two people stood facing each other, but no one spoke.
After a long pause, Li Wei finally managed to utter, "You, why didn't you tell me you got a haircut!"
She smiled.
That joyful smile, like a beautiful scene, will forever remain in Li Wei's mind.
The silence dissipated after Li Wei's words. Several familiar friends rushed over laughing, while Nina, her eyes brimming with tears, clung tightly to Li Wei's arm.
As they recounted their experiences, Li Wei glanced at Liu Piaopiao, Zheng Chenglong, and Blood Wolf Lang, who were staring in disbelief like obedient children, and said, "So, you had them sign the Teammate Contract, then forcibly changed their mission time, and because I'm their master, I also entered the same mission scenario—that's quite a brilliant idea!"
Zheng Yutong simply smiled and nodded, standing quietly beside Li Wei.
Nina spoke first, "Wasn't it Sister Zheng who thought of it? Her hair was too cumbersome when fighting those mutated monsters in the Death Space, so she cut it off. What, you don't like it!"
Nina pouted, clearly taking Li Wei's words seriously.
Li Wei could only laugh it off, glance at his teammates around him, Li Wei nod.
"Now we have people to listen to us, including you. Now all the operations are in your command. Finally, I can relax a little!" Zheng Yutong reached out and grabbed Li Wei's arm, but the grip tightened.
With combat power surpassing the level of the advanced and approaching the level of the advanced, her strength was terrifying. Soon, Li Wei felt pain in his arm. However, he did not speak, but simply looked at the woman in front of him quietly.
The force quickly diminished.
Strangely enough, Li Wei seemed to be able to read the mind of the woman opposite him.
This is a way to vent emotions; sometimes, expressing emotions is that simple.
"Leave it to me!"
This is a campsite.
You can see green grass sprouting from the ground, stones scattered around, and walls of unknown age. However, after the passage of time, only a few low, less than a meter high sections of the ruins remain, exuding a sense of antiquity.
In the very center of the camp, a campfire was burning, made from local materials, enclosed by a dozen large stones. Several pieces of wood lay horizontally beside the fire, presumably for a place to rest.
Not far away, there were tents made of gray cloth. Perhaps because this place is often shrouded in clouds and mist, there were small braziers set up every ten meters or so in the camp.
Several women dressed in leather armor and bodysuits stood around the camp, each holding a bow and arrow.
This is what Li Wei is currently observing. Perhaps because the mission has not yet started, they can only move within a radius of about ten meters around them, and the Archer seem unable to see them.
"This little place looks familiar!" Li Wei looked at the campsite, and a scene popped into his mind, though that memory was from a long time ago.
Xue Yan walked over at this moment. She first looked at the female Archer not far away, and then said with certainty, "This is the Rogue Encampment in the first act of Diablo!"
Li Wei suddenly remembered—yes, wasn't this the Rogue Encampment?
Diablo!
A legendary story.
"The battle between Heaven and Hell began before the appearance of humankind and has continued for thousands of years, during which heroes of both angels and demons have emerged. Diablo, Baal, and Mephistopheles are the supreme rulers of Hell, a trinity of demons who wield the power of fear, destruction, and evil. The Archangel are the greatest heroes of Heaven."
Later, Archangel IV was defeated in a battle during a raid on the entrance to Hell, and thus defected to Hell, becoming a fallen angel.
The three demons of Hell were also ambushed by four of their minions and banished to the mortal realm. The entire story revolves around human warriors defeating the three demons. Fortunately, in the first act, we won't encounter any demons!
Xue Yan's words stunned everyone.
This girl, could she be a homebody who loves playing games? How does she know so much?
"Yan, I know what you're talking about before. I played this game a lot in internet cafes in the countryside. The first act's missions shouldn't be too difficult!" Chen Dali was now at his peak fighting ability and was no slouch in battle.
"It's not that simple!" It was Zheng Yutong who spoke, as if recalling something from the past, she said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten? During the last Death Space mission, we all thought the biggest threat was that if the spaceship exploded, we would be exposed to the elements..."
But in reality, the real threat is the mutated monster Bu Fan, which we underestimated.
Chen Dali didn't dare to say anything at this point. Although Zheng Yutong was older than him, this simple and honest man called her "Big Sister" in private.
"Moreover, this mission doesn't necessarily involve only our team of reincarnators," Li Wei added.
He was reminded of the disaster he suffered in the previous mission, and his words came to mind.
"In short, everything depends on the actual tasks that are released!"
At that moment, everyone's Yellow Paper suddenly appeared, and with a whoosh, the mission appeared.
"Entering the Diablo world, mandatory quests activated,"
"Reincarnator Squad Number, confirmed... Number not correct,"
"Competitive Mission: Blindness" - Complete as many missions as possible: "Demon's Lair," "The Sisters' Burial Grounds," "Search for Cain," "The Forgotten Tower," "The Tools of the Trade," and "The Slaying the Sisters." For each mission completed, the mission team accumulates points. Upon completion of all missions, the mission ends. The three teams with the lowest scores among the remaining Reincarnated Teams entering this world will be completely eliminated!
Once one team completes any task, no other team can complete it.
"Mission initiated", 3"2
Once the countdown was complete, the restriction surrounding the area of about ten meters was lifted.
Moreover, Li Wei and his companions also noticed that a ring of marks had appeared on their arms.
Without a doubt, this mark represents the task from the first act. At this moment, the mark is dark, and it will likely change only after a certain task is completed.
The Yellow Paper also provides an explanation of this mark.
That is, once you have a mark, you only need to complete the corresponding task; you don't need to specifically seek out and accept tasks like in a game.
This achieves the effect of saving time to the greatest extent possible.
"Look over there?" Luo Cheng, who was on guard duty, suddenly asked.
Following the directions he pointed out, Li Wei saw five groups of people, located in different directions from the Rogue Encampment. Including his own team, this group should be the Reincarnation Squad.
The other side had obviously also received similar missions, but they all restrained themselves and did not contact other teams.
The reason is simple: this is a competitive mission.
Working in squads, you can't trust anyone except your teammates. The mission description clearly states that a squad earns points for completing a mission, and there are only 10 missions in total. Therefore, the three squads with the lowest scores at the end of the mission will be completely eliminated.
This punishment has made all the reincarnators as frightened as birds startled by the mere twang of a bow.
Soon, the team on the west side rushed out of the camp, clearly heading to complete their mission.
The other reincarnation teams also left the Rogue Encampment one after another, at varying paces. In this time of year, time was everything.
"Damn it, we can't let them get there first, let's go grab the mission too!" Zheng Chenglong, the thug, panicked and was about to rush out when Li Wei pulled him back.
"Calm down, this isn't a game, it's a real world. Nobody knows the mission location, so we still have some time to make a plan!"
The group calmed down. At this moment, apart from Li Wei, Zheng Yutong, and Xue Yan, everyone else looked somewhat uneasy. It was understandable, given the immense, invisible pressure of this mission.
The slightest mistake could result in the death of everyone.
"Den of Evil, The Sisters' Burial Grounds, Search for Cain, The Forgotten Tower, The Tools of the Trade, The Slaying the Sisters —are there any of these quests you don't know?" Li Wei took out his Yellow Paper and glanced at everyone.
"Me!" Luo Cheng raised his hand first.
"And me!" Nina added sweetly.
"Only two people, very good!" Little Li Wei jotted down some notes on the Yellow Paper: "I'll keep it short, as you probably already know. We can't possibly complete all the tasks!"
This can be understood with a little thought.
Because other reincarnation teams exist, the possibility of completing all missions is zero.
"Then, we can only try our best to complete them. One thing must be clear: completing one mission is the bare minimum. If we fail to complete even one, death awaits us. If we complete two missions, there will be virtually no danger!" Seeing everyone nod, Li Wei continued, "However, to complete missions and collect team points, we must go to 'Blind Eye, Akara.' Therefore, Luo Cheng and Nina, who are unfamiliar with the missions, you two will need to stay at the camp and monitor the Reincarnation Squads that complete their missions. How does that sound? Any questions?"
Luo Cheng and Nina both nodded at the same time. At this moment, they knew that every minute and every second was extremely important, and they had to accept whatever arrangements Li Wei.
"Alright, the rest of you, we'll split into two groups and carry out two tasks simultaneously. Since Yu Tong and I are the strongest, we can't be grouped together; our strength must be evenly distributed. Blood Wolf, Xue Yan, and Great Strength, you'll be in a group with Yu Tong, responsible for 'Cain's Rope Pull,' a very important task that we must complete! Piaopiao, Jackie Chan, and I will be in a group, responsible for 'The Slaying the Sisters,' a task that, any questions?"
Li Wei called out each person's name, and each person reacted differently, but their answers were all the same.
"No problem!" everyone said in unison.
"Very good, let's go!"
