Chapter 183 · Volume 1

Random Dungeon

She had already tried it back during the novice protection period, and yet she was still hoping to get wood now.
She had really just been blinded by the sight of wood earlier; she hadn't given anything else a single thought.
Su Rui watched her slightly dim-witted boss and couldn't help but twitch her lips again. She had genuinely thought Cheng Shuili knew something she didn't, right up until she saw her walk straight into the air wall.
After spending so many days together, Su Rui finally confirmed one thing: this top-ranked player, who seemed omnipotent on the surface, was truly just a human being.
Cheng Shuili covered her head and climbed back onto the vehicle. She felt a bit embarrassed, glancing up at Su Rui a few times and only breathing a sigh of relief when she saw that she was focused on driving.
The system broadcast came at that exact moment.
【Dear survivors! Long time no see!】
Before the system could even get to the main point, Cheng Shuili recognized the voice. It was the same system that announced the dungeons.
She frowned, her forehead still sporting a red mark from hitting the air wall. Normally, dungeons were supposed to appear on the sixth day, right? Today was only the fourth day.
【Are you surprised to see me today? Survivors! Do you remember what I said when the first dungeon opened after the novice protection period ended?】
Cheng Shuili recalled that it had announced back then that after that day, dungeons would open randomly. The system hadn't described it clearly at the time, and Cheng Shuili only knew there were certain trigger conditions.
So... did someone reach the trigger conditions now?
Cheng Shuili opened the Regional Channel, where most people were still asking what the system had said back then.
"No way? The system talks so much nonsense, who the hell knows what it actually said?"
"Yeah, exactly! I listen carefully to everything else, but I really can't process this voice! It's always full of fluff and loves to stop at critical moments to keep us hanging. If we weren't unable to rate it, this voice would definitely have the most negative reviews!"
"I second that! It literally voiced my inner thoughts!"
"Chatting again! Always chatting! Say something useful for once!"
"Forget it, if it were actually useful, would they even say it in the Regional Channel? Anyway, a dungeon is definitely happening now! During the dungeon, those beastman drifters won't be robbing us, right? That counts as a good thing! I'm glad I didn't buy many of the Crow's duel cards!"
The person below was clearly speechless: "You call this a good thing? We're all going to die anyway, might as well make it quick, right?"
Cheng Shuili was also quite speechless. She turned her attention back to the system, which had just finished a long string of nonsense, arriving exactly at the critical moment to explain why the dungeon had opened.
【This dungeon was opened by player Noob's Salvation, and the dungeon will only take place in the current partition! Once the racing dungeon reaches the qualifying mark, it will be ranked alongside players from other partitions! The same applies to point-based dungeons! Randomly drawing the dungeon now; it will begin immediately! All survivors, please wait a moment!】
Noob's Salvation?
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow. The system would actually expose the ID of the player who opened the dungeon?
She silently opened the Regional Channel, knowing without a doubt that it would be incredibly lively.
"@Noob's Salvation! Hurry up and speak! How did you open the dungeon?!"
This was undoubtedly what everyone was most curious about!
But there were many other voices in the Regional Channel as well.
"@Noob's Salvation, you're a lifesaver, brother! I felt like I was about to be eaten by beastmen, it was a close call! You opened a dungeon! I really... am grateful! Even if I die inside the dungeon, I won't blame you!"
This was someone with insane luck.
For every joy, there was a sorrow; there were plenty of people cursing him too.
"@Noob's Salvation, f#ck you! I had already prepared my duel cards, and my plan was foolproof! This was absolutely the most comfortable disaster I've ever had! Who are you trying to disgust by starting a dungeon now? And a randomly opened one at that—are we supposed to play if the mortality rate is super high?"
"@Noob's Salvation, come out and apologize!"
"Is an apology enough? Who is willing to kill him? I'll provide the cards!"
Cheng Shuili frowned. She didn't want to meddle in whether he lived or died, but until she understood how these random dungeons were triggered, Noob's Salvation couldn't die.
Fortunately, there were quite a few smart people in the Regional Channel.
"Kill, kill, kill! Is your brain full of sh#t? If you kill him, who will know how random dungeons are triggered? What are we going to do in the future?"
"Everyone, leave him alone! The system will publicly announce the ID of the player who opens a random dungeon. You kill him this time, but are you going to kill him next time? Are you going to kill everyone from now on?"
"Let's figure out how the random dungeon started first, okay?"
The two sides argued back and forth, neither listening to the other.
As Cheng Shuili held her card, the system prompted that someone had already used a designated player duel card on him.
She gave a light click of her tongue and couldn't help but frown deeply.
For the first time, she felt that some people really shouldn't be alive.
"Wait, no way? Someone already used a duel card on Noob's Salvation? Who?"
"Damn it, I told you all not to kill him! A bunch of idiots!"
Cheng Shuili had expected to just watch Noob's Salvation's avatar turn gray, but at the critical moment, Glory, who had been silent for a long time, stepped out once again.
【Glory Shines on Blue Star】: I am the one who used the designated player duel card.
"Big Boss Glory?"
"Glory. He hasn't spoken for a long time since the last disaster prediction failed. I thought something had happened to Big Boss Glory; I've checked his avatar several times."
"If it's Big Boss Glory, then Noob's Salvation definitely won't have any problems. Now I can rest easy."
"I'm from partition 1000, and I really have a natural trust in Big Boss Glory. Plus, since he hasn't been talking in the Regional Channel lately, I realized that I've been subconsciously relying on him for a long time. After all, the information he gave before was truly accurate and saved so many lives."
"Yeah. Back then, most people in our region died in dungeons, and we could usually know about disasters in advance. We really have to thank Big Boss Glory."
"It's quite touching. Glory has been silent for so many days, and he only stepped out again to protect an ordinary player."
"Not from partition 1000. I used to resent him because his information was wrong, but now my opinion has really changed. He wouldn't have wanted that error to happen either."
Of course, not everyone in the Regional Channel was a normal person.
"Stop your mother's sentimental act! If you aren't going to talk, then shut the f#ck up! Stepping out to meddle in things at a time like this, you really deserve to die!"
There were plenty of similar remarks, but since Glory hadn't fought back before, he certainly wouldn't now.
His action this time was entirely spontaneous, and his organization knew nothing about it. His private messages were already blowing up.
But what did that matter?
If it weren't for him, this little girl would have died today.
Zhao Hong sat inside Noob's Salvation's vehicle, listening to her recount the process of triggering the random dungeon.
