Chapter 70

After sending the private message, Qin Ran waited for Wu Fa Wu Tian's reply.

Unlike the usual quick response,

this time, Wu Fa Wu Tian remained silent for nearly a minute before replying to Qin Ran.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: An accident will happen!

2567: An accident?

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Yes, all kinds of accidents!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: When the beta test ended, some players immediately moved away from their VR helmets and did not log into the game for more than three months.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Then... the accidents happened!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Two of my friends, who were also beta testers, decided to stay away from this deadly game. Then... when the three months were up, one guy fell down the stairs at home and broke his neck, and the other died from an electric shock while taking a shower.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: All the players who did not continue playing the game died in accidents without exception!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: It was as if Death had come!

It took Wu Fa Wu Tian nearly two minutes to type this message.

Clearly, he did not want to recall those events.

After reading the message, Qin Ran felt a chill run down his spine.

Although Qin Ran, who was busy with various jobs, had not watched the movie in detail, he still vividly remembered the various ways the actors died in the film.

If such things happened to him...

Qin Ran could not even imagine the scene.

Because it was just too bizarre!

Any small thing, any object, could become the cause of his death.

It was even more terrifying than his illness.

After all, the latter had a trace to follow.

The former was completely无形无形.

It was as if the scythe of Death would appear on the player's neck once the time came, and then, it would suddenly slice through.

Pant! Pant!

Qin Ran took deep breaths, trying to calm his chaotic thoughts.

He knew that panicking at this moment would not bring him any benefit.

It would only make him more afraid!

In the end, he would fall into the vortex of despair and be shattered to pieces!

Qin Ran was all too familiar with this process.

After all, the threat of death was not the first time for Qin Ran.

Three years ago, when he discovered the gene virus during a routine health check-up, he had experienced it once.

And that time... Qin Ran had already touched the edge of despair.

If it were not for his many hopes and fantasies about 'life,' he would have ended his own life long ago!

That time, Qin Ran did not make the cowardly choice.

This time... Qin Ran would not either!

He would not even think about it.

Because he had a new goal: he not only wanted to live but to live well!

The burning heat of 'hope' in his chest instantly dispelled the bone-chilling cold!

"The current situation is much better than before, isn't it?"

Several seconds later, Qin Ran, who had completely calmed down, muttered to himself.

Then, Qin Ran typed and sent another private message.

2567: Can the game be exited?

2567: Truly safely?

The emphasis in the text represented Qin Ran's seriousness at the moment.

Wu Fa Wu Tian's response was equally serious.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Yes!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: After completing thirty dungeons, there is a chance!

Wu Fa Wu Tian's affirmation made Qin Ran raise an eyebrow.

Clearly, the reason he could be so sure was that someone had done it.

Without hesitation, Qin Ran directly asked.

2567: Who did it?

Wu Fa Wu Tian: 'The Witch' Konelia!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: A crazy and terrifying woman.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Do you remember the war caused by the legendary skill I told you about? It was all because of this woman!

2567: Then what?

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Then, that crazy woman got all the veteran players involved and personally slaughtered at least a hundred of them!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: It directly reduced the number of veteran players who chose to stay after the beta test by half.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Honestly, when the system announced that the crazy woman had left, everyone, including me, breathed a sigh of relief—no one dared to queue for multiplayer dungeons unless they had a high-level team contract, for fear of encountering that crazy woman!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Once encountered, regardless of friend or foe, it was all slaughter!

...

Then, Wu Fa Wu Tian switched to 'chatterbox' mode.

He began to describe the terrifying nature of 'The Witch' Konelia non-stop.

Qin Ran only glanced at it briefly and then ignored Wu Fa Wu Tian.

"Hah!"

"There's still a chance!"

"Having a chance is good!"

Qin Ran let out a long breath.

Since someone could truly exit the underground game, he could do it too.

Even if it required completing thirty dungeons to have that chance!

But it was better than having no chance at all!

"'The Witch' Konelia, huh?"

Qin Ran muttered the name softly.

Without any other meaning, he took her as a goal he must catch up to.

Not to chase her madness in slaughtering, but to chase her steps in escaping!

Then, Qin Ran scanned the conversation with Wu Fa Wu Tian.

He quickly found another hidden piece of information.

2567: As far as I know, among the three thousand beta testers, less than a third managed to complete the beginner dungeon!

2567: The one hundred people slaughtered by 'The Witch' Konelia were only half of them! It seems many beta testers chose to stay after completing the beginner dungeon!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Thanks to that guy!

2567: Who?

Wu Fa Wu Tian: The unscrupulous merchant who truly hired us to complete the dungeon for the big client: 'The Broker' Mo Nian.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Although I don't like that guy, I have to admire his intelligence. After completing the beginner dungeon, he started using the forum to notify all surviving players to be careful!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Many believed it, and some didn't!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: I was one of the believers, so I was lucky to survive! Then, I owed that guy a huge favor—everyone who survived owed him such a favor!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: And that guy was very good at using these favors. Not only did he team up with many veteran players to establish the 'Black Market,' but he also connected with a few players who were wealthy in real life, initiating a points and Federation currency exchange system, allowing us poor guys in real life to better invest in the game.

2567: A remarkable guy!

Qin Ran sincerely commented.

Whether it was the establishment of the 'Black Market' or the points and Federation currency exchange, it was enough to make one marvel.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Yes, a truly remarkable guy!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Who among those who can obtain a unique title is simple?

2567: Unique title?

Qin Ran subconsciously looked at his character's title: Crocodile Killer.

Hmm!

There was no ambiguity, but Qin Ran genuinely felt it was... simple!

It was like a lucky fisherman who had a good catch.

Clearly, it could not be a unique title!

Qin Ran subconsciously wanted to ask about his own title, but thinking of Wu Fa Wu Tian's 'chatterbox' nature, he wisely kept quiet.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Unique title—unique in nature!

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Simply put, once a player obtains this title, no other player can obtain it.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Now, many are trying to obtain a unique title, but none have succeeded so far.

Wu Fa Wu Tian: And I can be sure that no player will obtain a unique title in the short term!

2567: So sure?

Wu Fa Wu Tian: Of course! After all, 'The Witch' and 'The Broker' are completely irreplicable! And even I, a dragon-slaying expert, did not obtain a unique title, so those guys have even less chance!

The earlier part of the text was normal, but the latter part made Qin Ran roll his eyes.

Wu Fa Wu Tian's boasting did not stop there.

Just as Wu Fa Wu Tian was recounting for the fifth time how he carried a rocket launcher to bombard the earth dragon, the team channel began to receive continuous join notifications.

PS: You guys are all perverts!!! I'm exhausted from staying up late to write, and my back hurts from sitting for too long!!!
