Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

After spending two hours inside, Shi Jinwei summarized the following information:

1. In the eerie world where "humans and monsters coexist," humans can see the supernatural.

2. There are ordinary people among humans, and there are also "superpowered individuals".

3. In this bizarre world, humans can choose to "become a player" or "not participate in the game".

4. Once humans become players, they need to participate in the [weird game] once a week.

5. [The Weird Game] is the [Weird Dungeon] that Shi Jinwei and the others participated in.

6. After becoming a player, you will also have an "item inventory", with a quantity of four.

7. The [Strange World] has a well-established system that stipulates that strange beings cannot "kill" or "eat" people at will, otherwise they will be punished by the "regulatory body".

8. Humans are in a vulnerable position in this world, and their numbers are decreasing rapidly.

But we can't do without them, so there's also the "Human Rights Protection Act".

9. Here, there are also strange creatures that like to treat humans as "pets," "food," and "livestock."

As long as they don't break the law, they still enjoy "playing with humans".

10. Humans here can marry and have children, but no one wants their child to be born in this bizarre world.

So the supernatural beings even set up a special "human infant care institution" to help reproduce humans.

11. The highest ruler here is the [Strange Game Administrator], followed by Strange Generals, High-Level Strange Beings, and so on.

12. [Strange Game] and Strange World are in a semi-fused state, and Strange World is unaffected.

Humans will receive a notification when they come into contact with a game instance.

13. Ordinary people can avoid being forced to play the game as long as they keep refusing. But once they become players, they must play the game once a week.

14. In this world, whether it's humans or monsters, everyone needs to "work and earn money".

15. Many high-level and bizarre jobs involve becoming a guardian boss in a game and maintaining order within it.

……

Overall, the world seems "safer" than I imagined.

Moreover, many of these "jobs" can only be performed by humans.

For example, software development and maintenance, which require "brainpower".

The ordinary monsters here, though intelligent, can also communicate.

But it's better to let them die than to make them "learn".

Therefore, these technical positions can only be filled by humans, and schools have even been specially established for them to study.

Even this "Ghost Network" app was developed by humans.

However, Shi Jinwei always felt that this software had a "hidden section".

The information about "Eagle Falcon" that Mu Chen mentioned last time is not available on the forum.

Overall, it looks like just an ordinary chat and social networking app.

But this was developed by humans, and there are organizations like the Black Robe Man, so it can't be as simple as it appears on the surface.

All we can summarize right now is this superficial information.

[Ding! Congratulations to [Pioneer Player] Shi Jinwei, your game exploration progress has increased by 5%, current exploration progress: 10%. Points earned: 400.]

[Stage Guide (for player reference only): Explore the city and learn about this world.]

The system notification interrupted her thoughts, and the exploration progress increased again.

The "phased guidance" has also changed from "finding the city" to "exploring the city and understanding the world".

This means that her general direction is correct.

Her "advantage" over other players is that there are "familiar tricks" here.

Only after reorganizing the resources and information at hand did I wash up and go to bed.

The next morning, after breakfast, she sprayed on the scented spray.

Wearing a mask, I planned to go down and wander around.

The game prompts you to "explore the city," so going out for a stroll perfectly fulfills that prompt.

My phone's calendar shows today is Saturday, and there are noticeably more customers in the hotel lobby on the eighth floor than yesterday.

Manager Gui was standing in the lobby inspecting the work when he saw Shi Jinwei and immediately walked over: "Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?"

"No need, I'm just browsing." She shook her head slightly, indicating that the other person didn't need to follow.

Seeing this, the manager didn't ask any further questions. Before she took a step, he suggested, "Madam, I suggest you wear your necklace."

This is the token of the Golden Ghost, and all the employees in the mall know it.

I recognize many strange things.

If Shi Jinwei carries this with her when she goes out, her safety will be greatly improved.

If it weren't for the fear of offending Shi Jinwei, Manager Gui would have liked to send two mysterious figures to follow her and protect her closely.

I'm afraid something might happen to her, and I won't be able to explain it to my superiors.

Hearing the manager's deliberate emphasis, Shi Jinwei guessed the necklace's value.

I'm naturally happy to have an extra layer of protection, so I happily took it out of my pocket and put it on.

He waved to the manager and headed towards the elevator.

Yesterday she took the VIP elevator, and today she will take this elevator down as well.

Seeing this, the surrounding creatures couldn't help but take a few more glances at the girl.

Those who can ride in VIP elevators are usually people of extraordinary status.

We all instinctively want to remember them, so as not to offend them unintentionally.

……

The first and second floors of the mall are filled with various specialty stores, while the third floor is a women's exclusive area.

The fourth floor is a men's area, and the fifth floor is a children's area.

The sixth floor is the dining area, and the seventh floor is the entertainment area.

Shi Jinwei started exploring from the seventh floor and discovered that in addition to the arcade-like game room, there were also escape rooms, internet cafes, and a movie theater...

The remaining floors are exactly the same as those in a real-world shopping mall.

The only difference is that the products sold are somewhat different.

However, the humans and the eerie are quite commonplace here.

As she passed by a cosmetics counter, she even saw a human-shaped saleswoman applying blush to the eerie face opposite her.

And that strange creature... was over three meters tall, its face was covered in burns, with almost no intact skin.

The salesperson can also gently dress it up while praising it without changing their expression.

The eerie creature beamed with delight at the praise, thoroughly enjoying itself.

Shi Jinwei was amazed, thinking that these staff members were even more outrageous than sales clerks in the real world.

"Hey, Yuanbao?" Suddenly, a muffled voice sounded behind her.

Looking up, she saw a tall, thin, eerie creature with a huge copper coin around its neck standing in front of her.

The other man with the axe stared at the gold ingot on her chest, his eyes scrutinizing her.

This eerie creature exudes a powerful aura; it's clearly not to be trifled with.

The sales clerks and customers chatting animatedly nearby turned to look at the commotion.

He was startled when he discovered the strangeness of the copper coin, and looked at Shi Jinwei with sympathy.

Upon discovering that the masked ghost was wearing a "gold ingot necklace" around its neck, they rubbed their eyes together.

They exchanged a glance and began to communicate silently: What's going on? Are we having a clash?

Shi Jinwei also found the strange creature rather odd.

Last night, she also looked up some information about the Golden Ghost on the Ghost Network.

Knowing that the monster opposite is called "Copper Coin Monster" and is a mortal enemy of the Golden Monster.

However, judging from the name and appearance alone, the Golden Ghost is the clear winner.
