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

The chat continues; the timing of the beast tides varies in other dungeons as well.

[clzjd]: We were part of the first wave of beasts on the eighth day, and the administrators ran away that very day. The rest of the days... well, let's not even go there. It was even more chaotic than the Cataclysm instance.

[232900 arrived at KFC]: I think this dungeon is easier than the Cataclysm dungeon, and the number of surviving players is proof of that.

[Everyone Loves]: Does this mean that regular dungeons will transition to the post-apocalyptic mode from now on? The system hasn't issued any announcement.

[Big Boss Starts 222]: Probably, maybe. But hearing you say that, it's been a long time since we've had any system announcements.

[I love playing games 23Lkjlkj]: This game is trash; there's hardly any after-sales service.

[Play two rounds]: Upstairs, don't be ridiculous. You're risking your life to beat the game. Do you really think this is a game?

[大乱斗将111dpo]: I want to know everyone's kill points, I only have 90.

[laljlk23]: A little more than you, 150. I don't know how it's calculated.

[Sixth Space]: There's a post on the forum saying it's related to the number of kills, time, and speed. It also depends on whether you killed solo or in a team. If you killed in a team, the score is split equally.

[d嘻哈哼哼哈诶d]: It's similar to task scoring. The point calculation is opaque; you have to guess every time.

[piopuhed]: Previously, dungeons only had completion rewards, but this time the addition of hunting points is great; it's an extra reward.

……

Upon seeing this, Shi Jinwei redirected to the forum.

Many summary and discussion threads about the dungeons have already appeared.

They discovered that the cause of the beast tide in this instance was roughly what they had guessed.

The timing of the beast tide varies in each instance.

Some people were there on the second day, and some were in the middle.

Those who were lucky didn't experience a beast tide at all; they only found out by checking the chat channel. This person's post caused an uproar among the players.

Many people left comments saying he was like Versailles.

In the group chat, several pioneering players also briefly exchanged information about this dungeon.

It's basically the same as the forum and chat channels, with no other information.

Shi Jinwei quietly watched as an observer, and after finishing, she started checking her points.

Last time, I had 64764 left, 3500 from the quest, and 600 from selling the talismans.

The total is 68864, and the upgrade costs 75000.

We'll have to wait until next time.

There aren't many other necessities in the dungeon; all the food and drink for the next thirty-odd days were obtained using items.

So I spent 20 minutes replenishing my food and water.

Then he fell asleep immediately.

Unexpectedly, she actually had a dream this time.

This is the first time I've had a dream since I started playing the game.

The high-tech world that can only be found in science fiction movies was vividly reflected in her dreams.

She watched everything in the city like an observer.

I was still a little dazed when I woke up.

Can you still dream after everything is digitized?

Out of curiosity, she searched the forum but found no relevant content.

I kept my doubts to myself and went to the library to look up a map.

A photo of the Anping City map taken with a prop phone was brought into the space.

I carefully compared it with the world map of the library, and found some similarities, but the locations and sizes were all wrong.

It's not surprising that the sizes are different.

Many maps use the Mercator projection, which ensures that the shapes of the terrain are the same, but the sizes are different.

But the fact that their locations were different made her feel strange.

As far as I can remember, the large-scale plank bridge movement occurred when Earth was formed.

Only then did the world come to recognize the seven continents and four oceans.

The game world seems to isolate each city or terrain individually.

Let's combine them into a dungeon map.

If that's the case, does that mean the maps of the supernatural world are also like that?

With that in mind, she opened her phone again.

The weird world map software I downloaded is still there.

Last time I came out of the eerie world, I only had the food factory map as a reference, not the map of the normal dungeon.

There was no time to think about these things in the post-apocalyptic instance, so I didn't check it carefully.

Now that she had a reference, she opened the offline map of the eerie world, compared it carefully, and actually found an exact match!

That place is the topography of Anping City, and it is marked "Machinery Factory".

I remember that player from server 3 seemed to have come from the "Mechanical Factory," but he didn't mention the address.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to contact the person to ask for the detailed address.

Open the group chat, click on the name, and you'll find that you can send a private message:

Player from Server 7: Hello, are you there?

It took several minutes to get a response.

Player from Server 3: Hello, what's up?

The man got straight to the point, and she didn't bother with pleasantries, asking for the address directly.

The player from server three was very straightforward, directly stating "Mechanical Factory on East Fourth Street of Ghost Street" without even asking her why.

After briefly thanking the other party, Shi Jinwei sat silently at the table.

He stared at the three maps, lost in thought.

The maps for [Normal Dungeon] and [Mysterious World] look the same. What is the connection between them?

If the [normal instance] is part of the eerie game, why did they start by entering the normal game?

Shouldn't it be like in the novel, where we enter a [weird instance]?

I remember the system said at the beginning that [Strange Game] was a new addition to [Normal Dungeon].

The maps for [Normal Dungeon] and [Mysterious World] are similar.

It is known that [Strange Game] and [Strange World] are interconnected.

So what about their real world?

What's the situation now? Has it been hacked too?

But the maps here are different from those in the library.

The map in the library is a map of the real world, and it's different from the map of the eerie world.

This is where the contradiction lies.

You can explain the different terrain in the game as a reference.

Some places are the same, while others are so different that Shi Jinwei really can't understand it.

But she was afraid of "parasitic monsters" if she sent these to other pioneer players.

I can only keep everything bottled up inside.

The remaining two days will be spent cooking and drawing talismans one day, and training the other day.

On the morning of the fourth day of the game, a new game appeared on time:

The game will start in 5 minutes. Please read the game instructions carefully.

[Number of game players: 5452690344.]

[Game objective: Survive for 30 days.]

[Game duration: 30 days.]

[Game Description: A polar night has occurred in Anyue City for unknown reasons, causing widespread fear and anxiety among the residents. You must survive in Anyue City for 30 days. Leaving the city results in game failure. Please act with caution.]

[Game Gifts: 1000 Anyue Coins, a random outfit, a mobile phone, and a character ID.]

Players were all wrong; it was a long-awaited normal dungeon.

A flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and Shi Jinwei found herself in a lit office.

Behind an imposing desk is a floor-to-ceiling window, through which the sky is clear.

Before I could figure out where I was in this game, a rhythmic knocking sounded on the door.
