Having read countless time-travel novels, Ling Yi never imagined that one day he would become a member of the time-travel army.
However, Ling Yi wasn't worried at all, because like other transmigrators, he was born with a cheat code.
Diablo Infinite Dungeon System
Note 1: The Diablo Dungeon System will be activated based on the host's level. The currently available system is "Act One, Chapter One: Rogue Encampment (Easy)".
Note 2: The host cannot gain any benefits in the Dark Dungeon, but can obtain half of the experience points gained by other players in the dungeon world.
Note 3: Experience points can be used to level up or to exchange for items in the Diablo Store. Potions, gems, equipment, runes, etc., dropped by other players when they enter the Dark World are the items in the Shop. The Diablo Store is currently empty.
In other words, the in-game store will only appear if other players obtain the items in the dungeon world; otherwise, the store is just an empty shell.
Note 4: The host can set access permissions for the instance and the method of instance appearance. The method of entering the instance is not important; what is important is that someone has to enter.
Ling Yi decides who enters the instance and how they enter.
Note 5: The host can enter the instance as an ideology and appear as a free NPC. The NPC form can be set by the host.
So-called free NPCs are simply background NPCs in games!
Note 6: Ling Yi, as the host, has no class restrictions. Each time he levels up, he can gain 7 skill points and 35 Free Attribute Points.
Note 7: The next chapter of the dungeon will only be unlocked when a player successfully completes the dungeon.
Note 8: The system has no mandatory tasks and no intelligent system assistance.
Note 9: When other players die in a game instance, they will not actually die, as it is a game instance, but they will lose all experience points for their current level.
Note 10: Currently, only 10 people are allowed to enter the instance. The maximum number of people can be increased by consuming experience points.
Note 11: The time ratio between the instance world and the real world is 100:1.
Ling Yi was very familiar with the game God of Destruction.
Before he traveled through time, "he" was playing the mobile version of this game. It was because he was so engrossed in the game that he was hit by a speeding heavy truck.
They were crushed on the spot; the scene... tsk tsk, it was simply horrific.
Even now, Ling Yi still feels lingering fear when he recalls it.
Therefore, never look down at your phone while walking. Ling Yi paid the price of his life to warn others in his previous life, which can be considered his last contribution to the original world before he transmigrated.
"Shui Te, Ling, you're spacing out again. This mission is crucial. If anything goes wrong, none of us will survive. Did your fever last time damage your brain? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have brought you along this time."
Beside Ling Yi Ling Yi, a burly black man stared at him with great concern.
"Sorry, Brock, I was just thinking about something. Don't worry, I won't hold you back."
Ling Yi's Soul Transmigration into the body of an unlucky guy named Ling Pals.
Ling Pals and Brock Mason are both members of the Timberwolf Gang Timberwolf Gang, a small gang among many in Hell's Kitchen.
His usual job is to take on "cargo transport" jobs for other large gangs.
To put it simply, it's a delivery and errand service, similar to a gang-style version of Meituan, delivering almost anything.
Besides delivering all sorts of illicit goods, they sometimes also deliver living or dead people...
Three days ago, Ling Pals caught a cold after being caught in the rain. That night, he developed a high fever of 39 degrees Celsius and fell into a coma. Because Ling Pals always lived alone, he was not discovered for twelve hours due to his high fever and eventually died in his rented room.
Just then, Ling Yi's Soul Transmigration and took over this body.
However, at that time, the body was still in a state of high fever and near death. Through the body's original memories, Ling Yi used his last strength to call his friend Brock. With Brock's help, he was sent to the hospital and finally survived.
It can be said that Ling Yi's time travel was quite dangerous; he almost died again as soon as he arrived.
Regardless, Ling Yi successfully transmigrated, survived, and activated his cheat ability.
After spending two days in the hospital, just as their fever subsided, they received a new mission assigned to them by the gang.
Ling Yi and Brock were both low-level members. Two years ago, they both joined the Timberwolf Gang. During a "delivery" mission, they unfortunately encountered a double-cross.
That time, the two went through a life-or-death struggle, fighting to the death. Of the more than twenty people, only four survived, while the other two lost a hand and a leg, respectively, and were completely crippled.
It was this experience that turned the two into friends.
From then on, we'll basically work together on any mission.
This time, it was just the two of them delivering the goods. They didn't know what they were delivering, but based on their years of experience, they could roughly guess.
The value of at least 20 kilograms of white goods is self-evident.
Their task was simple: put the "goods" into the fourth trash can in Jirui Alley, and that would be their job.
The whole process went very smoothly, smoother than I had imagined.
After they left the alley, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Yi was just an ordinary person in his previous life. Although Fusion the memories of Ling Pals in this life, he was still terrified.
Of course, the rewards of this mission were also considerable.
The two of them each received six thousand US dollars, enough to live Xiaosa for a while.
" Brock, have you ever thought about ending this kind of life?"
At the entrance of the rented house, Ling Yi suddenly asked Brock before getting out of the car.
"Faker, are you kidding me? Do you really think that damn Sente will let us leave?"
I'm just asking if you want to.
"Of course, I've had enough of that kind of life. I often worry that tomorrow or the Acquired, I'll become a corpse, thrown into a garbage dump, and rot with the stinking trash."
"Fark, water!" Brock slammed his fist on the steering wheel.
"Our fate was almost sealed, and all we could do was keep going. All that was left was to pray."
Ling Yi patted him on the shoulder, turned around, got out of the car, and went into the house.
He has decided to open the instance tonight and let Brock enter the Dark Dungeon to level up.
Although Brock was just a nobody, he was still a friend of this body, Ling Yi didn't mind giving him a chance.
The room was a little messy, but clean enough, and didn't have any particular smell.
Ling Yi quickly cooked some noodles, made do with a simple meal, and then sat down at his Computer to write a proposal.
First, let's talk about how to enter the Dark Dungeon.
It definitely can't be open-ended, at least not at the moment; it needs a medium as a carrier.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi wrote in the Computer's notepad:
" Dungeon Login Mark: Activating the mark allows you to log in or log out of the dungeon directly."
"The branding allows you to access the game panel!"
"All users should have a unified name: Player!"
"The first batch of players should have specific surnames to choose from; Big Shot shouldn't be selected, such as the Ancient One, Odin..."
"Those who like to cause trouble shouldn't be chosen, like Tony Stark..."
"We definitely can't choose the villain!"
"The military is not an option!"
"At this point in time, Iron Man hadn't been born yet, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe hadn't even begun..."
"The tentatively confirmed roster includes: Brock, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Black Braised Egg, Coulson, Pepper Potts, Happy, Steve Helen Cho, and the elderly Peggy Carter!"
"For the first time entering the instance, we'll simply use force to pull these people into the instance."
Players can choose a class after reaching level 10...
"Upon entering the instance for the first time, all players must reach level 2 before they can freely choose to exit or log in."
"..."
Before he knew it, it was already dawn the next day. Ling Yi stretched wearily and then began to communicate with the system, setting up the first instance through his thoughts.
The process was quite simple, and the system was very efficient, executing Ling Yi's plan exactly as intended.
Then, Ling Yi had ten coins with Huoyan icons in his hand.
These are the Player Mark. As long as Ling Yi wants them, these marks will appear on the wrist of the designated target according to his will, forming tattoo marks.
Just as Ling Yi was about to activate the instance and deploy the mark, his phone rang.
The caller was Brock.
Ling Yi suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Ling, run! Something's happened! The shipment we delivered yesterday is gone, and we're being made scapegoats..."
Before Brock could finish speaking, Ling Yi heard a series of gunshots.
"Run..." Brock's voice trailed off.
" Brock, Brock, hey!" Ling Yi's expression was grim.
He knew that Brock was finished.
Although Brock was just a friend of the original owner, Ling Yi inherited some of the original owner's memories and was thus affected to some extent.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
He is still just an ordinary person. He has to survive. He needs at least a few hours to have the means to fight back.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yi deleted the plan from his Computer, removed the hard drive, and smashed it with a hammer. This plan must not be discovered.
Having taken care of all that, Ling Yi went into the bathroom and rhythmically pushed the ceiling a few times, causing a rope ladder to descend.
They quickly climbed up the rope ladder, then retracted it, and the bathroom ceiling was soon restored to its original state.
This was a hidden compartment that the original owner made just in case.
It not only stored a large amount of food, but also a considerable amount of weapons and ammunition, and it was very well soundproofed. Although it was a bit cramped, it was enough to survive inside for a week or two.
No one knew about this compartment except himself; not even Brock knew.
Therefore, it should be very safe.
Relatively speaking, the real danger lies outside.
He's just an ordinary person now, and it's difficult for him to withstand the pursuit of a large gang. Hiding here is actually the best option for him.
Since Brock is dead, there's one more spot available among the ten players. After thinking it over, Ling Yi chose Tony Stark.
Ling Yi didn't choose Tony Stark before, partly because he was worried the guy would cause trouble, and partly because he didn't want to change the Iron Man storyline.
But now, Ling Yi doesn't care about any of that anymore.
Ling Yi sat up cross-legged, and in the dim light, looked at the ten branding marks in his hand, took a deep breath, and said:
"System, activate the copy, apply the mark."
"Buzz!"
The ten marks suddenly disappeared, and at the same time...
"Ding! The first act of the Dark Infinite Dungeon, Chapter 1: Rogue Encampment (Easy) has been activated!"
"Ding, initial dungeon settings complete, Player Mark distributed."
"Ding, player is logging into the dungeon..."
"Ding, player has completed logging into the dungeon. The current dungeon has 10 players remaining."
