You were told to search and attack, but you're supporting Asara?

The conversation ended unpleasantly. After returning to the Special Operations Department, Chen Xiao turned on the computer that connected to the original world and saw that the headlines and trending topics online were filled with entries such as "Delta Force Descends into Reality," "Second Entry Suffers a Crushing Defeat," and "Zero Dam: The Best Route to Avoid War."

He scratched his head and opened the familiar chat group for running knives, where messages were constantly being refreshed.

"Tell me, how can you exchange 300,000 Haff credits for only 5,000 yuan? After all this trip, you only get a month's salary? Isn't that a terrible exchange rate?"

A user with the ID "Aerospace First District" in a QQ group is attracting criticism for a Versailles-esque quote and a picture of income.

Two officers, guns at the ready but not smoking, said: "What a load of bull! More than 300 people went in yesterday, and they were almost all wiped out. This picture is obviously photoshopped."

Why did you steal my gold blueprint?: "You're talking nonsense. It's a joke. The soldiers inside are all incredibly tough, like they're in a prison. It would be a miracle if they could get out."

I am a military general, not good with words: "Dude, is there a story behind your ID?"

Why did you steal my gold blueprint?! "Don't even mention it! I finally managed to get in, dodged the NPCs but couldn't avoid the humans, and got ambushed and killed by a rat in the back! Why did you steal my gold blueprint?!!"

Two men, guns at the ready but not smoke-proof: "Do you even realize you're a complete noob?"

I am a military general and not good with words: "It's alright, brother. Although you lost a gold blueprint worth 60,000 Haff coins, you also lost more than a thousand coins."

"You didn't let him off the hook either." First Aerospace District: "It's okay, bro. Next time you go in, find a well-equipped boss like me, and you'll definitely get a good meal."

"I've finished telling you all this. Anyone who comes in will be wearing the standard recruit uniform. You think you're Saeed's older brother?" The two men, guns at the ready, mocked.

"Who said there weren't any?" Aerospace First District protested. "Last time I went in, my teammate was a veteran who had been in twice. He was wearing a full set of level 3 armor and a modified MP5. Otherwise, why would he have taken me out to eat so much? My buddy even went into the building to try his luck later."

"Do you even believe what you're saying?" The two men, guns blazing, scoffed. "Let's not even talk about how small the probability is of getting in twice in a row, with only about 300 people going in every day."

"A full set of level 3 gear would cost at least 100,000 Haff coins, and with the gun and bullets, it would cost at least 200,000."

"You mean that guy you mentioned who went in for the first time, made over 200,000 coins, came out without even converting them into real money, and then went to get gear to help you?"

"Is he your father?"

"Exactly, exactly." Why did the guy who stole my gold blueprint also join the battle? "I also know a big shot who withdrew yesterday. He said that Said wasn't even in the military camp that day, but spawned in the administration building. Your brother probably got beaten up by Said."

The military officer, not good with words, said with a distressed expression, "Don't even mention Saeed. Which bastard who just went in on his first day swore he was in the military camp? We all rushed into the administration building, and every team that went in died. It's a pure meat grinder."

Chen Xiao was taken aback when he saw this sentence, because Said was indeed in the military camp on the first day. If he was in the administration building yesterday, coupled with the deployment on the dam top, it could only mean that Old Said had already figured out the player's route.

"Do you think the reason Lao Sai isn't in the barracks is because we all went to the administration building on the first day?" Chen Xiao asked casually.

"You mean the NPCs will deploy based on our route?" The general quickly grasped Chen Xiao's meaning: "That's incredibly intelligent!"

"That's quite possible!" the two men with guns chimed in. "After all, we can tell from the information from the first day that the soldiers inside are quite intelligent, so it's not surprising that Lao Sai, as the leader of the guard, could make adjustments."

Then other group members shared their opinions:

"In that case, could we do the opposite and adjust our route accordingly?"

"I think we can use a code to gather the players at the beginning, and then the main force can split up after determining the route."

"What if Asara's guards arrive first?"

"Well, you guys chat first, I'm going to study the instructor's 'On Guerrilla Warfare'."

Looking at the noisy group chat that resembled a bustling market, Chen Xiao suddenly noticed a gray checkmark next to each of their IDs.

He tried clicking the checkmark next to the general's ID, and a system notification appeared: [Fixed arrival personnel tag added].

Chen Xiao's eyes widened: "Can I choose who will definitely come here?"

After he clicked on a few people who had clearly been there in the previous conversation, the system popped up another notification:

[Maximum reached (5/5), please upgrade Special Operations to unlock higher privileges]

Aside from the four who had been arguing fiercely, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and then added the kid who had boasted about wanting to learn guerrilla warfare to the list.

"Don't worry, everyone, I have some inside information." Chen Xiao mysteriously typed out a line of text: "GTI has reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with Said, so from now on, Dam Zero will no longer be considered an enemy force by the players."

"Correspondingly, we should also be unable to attack the NPCs inside."

Two men jumped out, guns at the ready, and sneered with disbelief, "Have you been driven mad by the prison? Where did you get this inside information? The dam won't allow searches and raids, so where are we going to get any HAF coins?"

"Good question. This is the content of GTI's cooperation." Chen Xiao was not angry at all. Instead, he praised, "Said promised not only that he would not harm us, but he would also provide a route to Longbow Valley and guarantee our safe arrival."

"Why bother going to Chang Gong? The map is too long and boring, and I'm not familiar with it at all. Daba is my hometown."

The others chimed in.

"You'll find out if it's true or not tomorrow, but that's not all," Chen Xiao continued calmly. "Each person needs to pay 112500 Haf coins to go to Longbow Valley."

The group chat became even more agitated, with everyone attacking Chen Xiao, while several people, including Wu Jiang, suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Chen Xiao calmly watched the insults in the group chat. After a while, someone finally realized something was wrong.

Space Zone 1: "Brothers, is 112500 the classified entry threshold?"

The two men, guns at the ready without blocking the smoke, exclaimed, "Holy crap, it really seems so!"

Why did you steal my gold blueprint? "So, the Secret Longbow blueprint is going to be unlocked tomorrow? Heaven, please give me another chance to get in!!"

The two officers, guns at the ready but not smoking, said, "This can't be real! How could someone get hold of this kind of inside information? Is he some kind of Delta native?"

Space Zone 1: "Who cares if it's real or fake? The important thing is to prepare some HAF coins first. We'll be crying if we get selected but can't get into the classified Longbow."

The two officers, guns at the ready but not smoking, said, "Why don't you just take two thousand Haff dollars? Didn't you say the exchange rate was 60:1 when it came out?"

The general suddenly reappeared in the group chat, adding quietly, "You can't exchange money for HAF coins, so do you think the exchange rate would still be the same if this were true?"

Everyone: "Holy crap!"
