"[A breathtaking view lies ahead, stay tuned!]"
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] read aloud the words on the wooden sign in front of him.
He looked ahead and didn't see anything different.
There seem to be some pebbles and dust being swept into the air in the distance; could it be a tornado?
But here he couldn't feel a single breeze; it seems that's what makes this World of Disorder so interesting.
Will there really be a breathtaking view if we keep walking forward from here?
A glimmer of hope rose in his heart—
Being able to observe a tornado up close is indeed a spectacular sight.
Thinking of this, he looked down again, because behind the first sign there was another, shorter sign, which clearly read:
[Sprint forward, experience unparalleled excellence]
Oh? There's a speed requirement too?
It seems we need to not only walk forward, but also run forward.
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] tilted his head and saw a third, even shorter wooden sign:
[A giant treasure chest is ahead]
There's no other way but to go for it.
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] nodded, having made up his mind to sprint forward.
Although he has never opened any treasure chests in the World of Disorder, it is well known that sometimes treasure chests don't necessarily have to be treasure chests; they can be treasure chests that can be claimed repeatedly.
Thinking of this, a smile immediately appeared on his lips, and he thought he had seen through the clever trick of the World of Disorder production team.
Oh dear, are you all too tired from traveling 200 miles?
Unfortunately, to enhance the sense of immersion, the teleportation anchor points must be established gradually; it cannot be done all at once.
To enhance the gaming experience, let's arrange some fun activities along the way to help everyone relax!
Yes, that's definitely what the production team was thinking.
" Bruce, let's go!"
"Woof!"
With a determined heart, [ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] called out to his Vine Dog, and the two of them began to sprint forward with all their might.
He had only been online for a short time, and both his concentration and his physical strength were at their peak, so running and accelerating were a breeze for him.
Just as he was getting closer and closer to that somewhat chaotic space, a shout suddenly rang out:
"Stop! Stop!"
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ]'s main attribute was already focused on strength, so he didn't have time to stop when he heard the reminder from others.
As soon as he stepped onto the ground, a sudden feeling of Weightlessness washed over him.
The next moment, his entire body leaped into the air, and then he began to spin in the air.
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] felt as if he had entered a revolving lantern state--
Upside-down ground, scattered rubble, ferocious Blood Corpse, helpless players, and a wooden sign that reads "[Danger ahead, please turn left and follow the tire tracks]"...
As various scenes flashed before his eyes, how could he not realize that he had been tricked by other players?
The experience of going through the Inverted Staircase when registering the account came back to [ Soaring Clouds 3773 ].
The Inverted Staircase only appear to be upside down, but as long as you don't resist, you can land on the ground.
Here, however, is a different set of rules, similar yet distinct.
It turns out to be Weightlessness Domain!
The next moment, [ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] suddenly realized what was happening and saw Vine Dog Bruce still running at full speed.
This Vine Dog was not only slower than him, but its front and rear paws were also moving at different speeds. At this moment, it had become a super sausage more than two meters long, with its entire chest and abdomen stretched into the shape of a spring.
" Bruce, stop running!"
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] Although he hadn't figured out a way to break the deadlock, he had already shouted it out subconsciously.
Perhaps because of its slow speed, or perhaps because of its quick reaction, the Vine Dog quickly came to a stop before reaching the Weightlessness Domain.
The Vine Dog sat obediently on the ground, looking up at its owner flying erratically in the sky, its eyes seemingly filled with a hint of envy.
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] Ignoring Vine Dog's gaze, he twisted his body halfway around like a maggot, looking at the other players who were floating in this space in various directions and with different movements:
"So... we've fallen into a trap?"
There were four people floating nearby at that moment, and their expressions when they looked at him were remarkably similar.
It was an expression that mixed embarrassment, helplessness, and anger.
One player chuckled self-deprecatingly and opened his arms to [ Soaring Clouds 3773 ]:
"Welcome to the ' League of the Feebleminded '."
" Ham, what kind of weird name is that? Aren't we the Sandwich Squad?"
Another player named [ Lettuce Priest ] frowned:
"And I didn't agree to it!"
Player [ Ham Warrior ] casually shrugged, like a little bear:
"Do we even need your approval? What's wrong with someone saying 'I'm an idiot' at the meeting? The combined intelligence of the four of us might not even be as good as a nearly expired Sandwich."
"Not a buddy..."
[ Bread Knight ] also offered a rebuttal:
"Even though you scolded yourself, I still want to say—who can resist a giant treasure chest?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the last of the four, [ Butter Archer ], began unleashing his firepower:
"Don't let me find out which bastard did this, I'll make sure he gets his comeuppance even if I become a red-named player!"
After saying this, the player grabbed the original wooden plaque next to him and pointed to the text on it, saying:
"The advance team clearly wrote down instructions for those who came later, but some idiot who flew off with a xylophone still dismantled it! It's outrageous!"
"There's more than one."
The [ Ham Warrior ], who had already begun to give up, reminded him in a detached tone:
"I've been thinking about it. The ones who threw down the wooden signs were probably the first group. The ones who put up the first sign were probably the second group who fell into the trap but escaped. The next two signs represent the third and fourth groups..."
How do you know so much?
[ Lettuce Priest ] paused for a moment upon hearing this and asked in return, while [ Ham Warrior ] replied with some annoyance:
"I specifically checked and confirmed that there were three different handwritings before I chose to believe the guidance, but I didn't expect there to be so many bad guys."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
As the saying goes, "You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days." Everyone knows that the Wilderness of Chaos is full of dangers, but the problem is that the Wilderness of Chaos is just too big. Even if they manage to escape from here, they might fall into the next trap.
And who knows if the next road sign you see will be right or wrong?
After a moment of silence, the newcomer [ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] asked:
So, how long have you all been stuck here?
One hour.
[ The Bread Knight ] answered immediately, clearly having been paying attention to the passage of time.
One hour?
Have they been drifting here for an hour?
[ Soaring Clouds 3773 ] was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
I finally finished the gathering tasks after working overtime, and even took three days off just to enjoy exploring Klaf City. I never expected to be stuck here for who knows how long.
