The Most Chaotic Day in History (Invasion)
On the fourth day of the Meteor Shower, people noticed that their daily supplies had changed.
All the supplies included a strange item called the "Cracked Blood-Red Eyeball Orb," which was described as allowing users to invade other people's worlds, but would be destroyed after use.
However, the quantity provided is quite generous; regardless of which dungeon the supply comes from, there will be at least ten.
Then, when people received these bright red jewels, the first thing that came to mind was...
"We can finally get our revenge on those bastards, Saine!"
The adventurers from the other dungeons laughed wildly and couldn't wait to crush the orb.
Nothing happened.
"Wait, this thing isn't meant to be crushed, is it?"
When they finally managed to transform into naturally evil invading Red Spirit and arrive in a completely unfamiliar dungeon, they finally understood how the invaders felt.
It feels so refreshing to be in a place where nobody knows you and you can cause trouble wherever you want!
Of course, they didn't forget to follow suit and wear hoods, so they could indulge themselves and find their true selves.
When these adventurers from out of town, experiencing an invasion for the first time, chase after people in the dungeon, shouting "Stop right there, you bastards from Sein! Today I'm getting my revenge!" they often receive this response—
"This isn't Sai'en!"
Then, both sides will be left in a state of confusion.
Because the invasion involves the mutual invasion of more than forty underground cities, this is called the Great Invasion Era!
However, many people have successfully invaded the Zane Dungeon and are very likely to encounter those who have invaded them before. This is a small perk that Sien offers to adventurers from other places.
Furthermore, to compensate for the mental anguish suffered by the other dungeons yesterday, Gong Qiying slightly increased the probability of invading the Zane Dungeon.
It's absolutely not because I see my adventurers living too comfortably lately and I want to put some pressure on them, absolutely not.
Moreover, Gong Qiying had his own reasons for increasing the probability of invading Sion.
There's a saying that goes something like this: when people find ways to engage in PvP in a Yugi that's primarily PvE, the nature of the Yugi changes.
When people collect enough heads to receive a bright red magic word that hangs above their heads, the nature of the change goes far beyond just transformation.
With his excellent sense of profit, our dear Mr. Te Pi once again ranked among the top in the early days of the Glory Stone Tablet. Although he cannot rely on the strength of others when invading, the people he can invade will naturally not be too strong. As long as he tries a few more times, he will eventually succeed.
"If I try a few more times, I'll always be able to improve!"
He has given up on capturing the Small Falling Star; the guys at the top of the leaderboard have already created a hopeless gap between themselves and everyone else.
However, he might still have a chance to compete for a spot on the new student list!
With his current thirteen kills, ranking twenty-seventh, he should strive to be among the top!
"Look, there are red words above the boss's head!"
"No, no, that's not a character, it's clearly..."
A crimson stream of light suddenly appeared above Te Pi's head, then transformed into several smaller streams of light that coiled and leaped around him, taking on the forms of different ferocious demons. Finally, it transformed into a blood-red eye-like tattoo on his forehead, exuding an aura of wickedness.
"Wow, boss is so handsome!"
Te Pi showed a surprised expression. With a thought, the eye tattoo on his forehead could be freely moved to any part of his body, and could be made any size. The flowing light effect from before could also be summoned anytime, anywhere.
This thing has no offensive capabilities; it just looks pretty cool, a privilege that only top-ranking adventurers can receive!
This refers to the so-called "title" that the lords initially discussed. Later, everyone felt that having a line of words on their heads was a bit strange, so they changed it to a tattoo that could automatically activate special effects, visually resembling the battle crest of a strong magnetic field user or the Command Seals of a Chaldea Master.
Putting everything else aside, this kind of inexplicably impressive and childish style is quite to the liking of adventurers. Those adventurers hired by Te Pi are staring wide-eyed at this moment, and some are already impatiently invading.
Te Pi didn't show it outwardly, but he was secretly laughing. Since becoming an adventurer, the boyish spirit that had long been dormant in his heart had begun to awaken again, and he was completely powerless against this kind of cool and impressive thing.
"The more people you kill, the cooler the tattoo will become," he immediately used another eye gem, and in less than two seconds, he found someone he could hack into.
The invasion was like going through a portal, but with greater force. After a teleportation that resembled time travel, he successfully entered the world he invaded in the form of a red spirit. The special effects in his eyes were automatically activated. The combination of the red spirit and the red special effects made his appearance look like some kind of Elite Monsters.
"Alright, let me see where my target is!"
With the added boost of special effects, Te Pi felt stronger than ever before, as if even a Gold-Rank Adventurer couldn't last a single round against him!
"This is so annoying! I just killed two, and now another one is showing up!"
A woman's voice, radiating rage, rang out from ahead, causing Te Pi to look up.
In an instant, a towering red light surged up, and countless crimson streams of light intertwined in the sky to form a gigantic phantom of Blood-Colored Bat. The bat's broad wings suddenly converged forward, startling Te Pi, who took a few steps back. Only then did he realize that the phantom had no offensive power; it was just a special effect!
Compared to these bats that blot out the sky, my special effects are like a mayfly seeing the blue sky—they're nothing at all!
Just how many people did he kill? He must be one of the top ten people on the Glory Stone Tablet!
The woman surrounded by Blood-Colored Bat had a familiar name— Lu Lu Wo.
"What on earth is this thing? Why does it appear every time an intruder comes, and it's getting bigger and bigger?"
Lu Lu Wo couldn't understand what was going on with the bats appearing behind her. She had just been exploring the dungeon as usual and helping Leon catch some Small Falling Star, but the intruders kept coming.
She was used to dealing with the Dark Moon Blade every day, but this new batch of Red Spirit had nothing to do with the Dark Moon Blade. They were clearly invaders from other dungeons, and each of their nicknames had the name of their respective dungeons in the prefix!
These guys are all clamoring about revenge, but their skills are uneven—no, to put it another way, there isn't a single one who can actually fight.
How many intruders did you kill today? I can't remember. Do you remember exactly how many small bread rolls you've eaten?
"You also have a similar red aura to mine, so you must be quite strong."
Lu Lu Wo raised her head, asking a simple question, but in Te Pi's eyes, she appeared to be a demon in human skin.
"Well, I think this is a misunderstanding."
He took a step back, feeling like he was in deep trouble. His survival instinct told him he should run away, but...
Gong Qiying only distributed the tools for launching the invasion to each dungeon, but not the tools for stopping the invasion.
The battle between the two was so tragic that it could be described in a single sentence.
Te Pi was instantly killed.
However, Lu Lu Wo did not kill him directly. Instead, she tied him up and hung him on the roof of Irithyll.
"Based on past experience, if the invaders are still alive, there will be no new invasions. Fortunately, I came to the dungeon alone today, so there can only be a maximum of two invaders at the same time."
She lit a campfire beneath Te Pi to prevent him from freezing to death in the freezing cold.
"Goodbye, and you better live a long life."
Lu Lu Wo waved her hand and left the street with a flourish.
"Mmm!"
Te Pi struggled helplessly, unable even to commit suicide; the cloth stuffed in his mouth, along with his saliva, froze into an ice block.
After about ten minutes, his tattoos disappeared, which meant that his ranking had dropped to a very low position.
Te Pi was on the verge of tears. The late emperor had passed away before his great undertaking was even half completed.
Then, another unlucky intruder came and was also hung on the roof.
Lu Lu Wo's world fell completely silent.
This day is destined to be recorded in history.
The conflict between adventurers and dungeons has been successfully shifted to a conflict between adventurers themselves. Adventurers from different dungeons attack each other, and no one knows which dungeon's adventurers will invade next, or which dungeon they will invade.
You will be invaded as long as you stay in the dungeon, unless you leave the dungeon or invade someone else first!
Once you've hacked into someone else's account, they can't hack into yours!
Those who were quick-witted had already struck first, becoming part of the vast Red Spirit army.
Those who are slow to think will eventually realize what's happening after being invaded a few times and will willingly transform into Red Spirit.
This is the most chaotic day in the history of the dungeon.
Outside of the chaos, some people remain in quietude, such as ordinary people with very low strength, who are not included in the list of people who can be hacked.
Teams that include ordinary people are much less likely to be invaded, such as the current Guzha Squad.
"Big brother, I think the people you brought today are a bit strange." The Guzha Squad threw the Kindling Secret Ritual into the campfire, then placed an ordinary person who was lying on the ground convulsing by the campfire. The mage manipulated him to enter into the ritual with humanity. After the person stopped convulsing, they gave him some supplementary Happiny to replenish his strength.
This would free these people from their madness after seeing Astel.
Several other people, all residents of the Leyndell, lay on the ground awaiting their help.
"I don't know what happened either. I specifically told them not to look up at the sky, but they insisted on doing so."
Tus was completely numb.
I don't know where the news came from, but it said that the Hasawi Squad and the Guzha Squad could protect people entering the Zane Dungeon for sightseeing. It's most likely that it was something that Sister Tus told the neighbors, and it got passed around and eventually got misinterpreted.
Today, a group of residents came to his door, begging Tus to take them into the underground city. He originally thought that as long as they didn't wander around in the Zane Dungeon, it would be quite safe. He thought, "Just don't wander around."
However, everyone gave so much.
Later, Tus discovered that all the gifts of fate had already been marked with stakes. The first thing this group of people did upon entering was to look up at the Black Hole. He couldn't stop them. When they came out dead, they were in this state of convulsions on the ground.
He had no choice; he couldn't just stand by and watch people die, so he had to help treat each one.
"Make sure to collect a lot of kickbacks later."
After lighting the fire and eating the eggs, everyone got up. Their backs were no longer sore and their eyes were clear again, but they had lost some of their memories. It was all Astel's fault.
By the time the work was finally finished and the residents left with profuse thanks, it was already dark. Tus felt exhausted and wanted to leave the dungeon.
"Everyone says the chances of going berserk after seeing Astel are extremely small, so why are all the people I brought showing these symptoms?"
Now he understands why this group of people came looking for him; they probably wanted to avoid any potential erratic behavior and were looking for a backup plan.
"I'm never doing this kind of trouble again!"
However, when he returned home exhausted, he was met with a scene of hell.
A group of people surrounded his house, making a ruckus. Not only were there people from this neighborhood, but people from other neighborhoods also came. The purpose of this group was self-evident.
"I"
Tus's face twitched, and without pausing for a second, he turned and walked away. Someone noticed him then and shouted:
"It's over there!"
