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

The next morning, Shi Jinwei's phone rang.

It was a notification sent to her by the forum.

Without even getting out of bed, I opened the small envelope; it was sent by the forum administrator.

The content made her sit up immediately:

We may be able to give you some answers to the questions you need to know.

Specific details will need to be discussed in person and through an assessment.

If needed, please send a text message to XXX number with the message: "Agree."

Without hesitation, she immediately edited the message and clicked send.

It was something I had expected, so I wasn't surprised.

After learning about the Dark Web from yesterday, she guessed that her browsing history would inevitably be detected by the forum administrators.

I just didn't expect them to come knocking on my door so quickly.

I got up to wash up, and my phone vibrated again.

I thought it was a forum message, but it turned out to be Chen Fang.

She told Shi Jinwei that she had been going to the Ghost Street 29 area these past few days when she had nothing to do.

The entire street was covered by a bizarre game, and every place inside had become a dungeon.

This news made Shi Jinwei pause while brushing her teeth.

Open a map app to view the map of 29th Street, the Ghost Street.

It's a six or seven-hour drive from here, and there are previously dungeons that survival players have entered, such as "Elementary School Sports Meet," "Wax Museum," and "Coffee Shop."

Now, in addition to these dungeons, the remaining shops, shopping malls, residences, and other places have also become dungeons.

Ordinary people living there will directly become NPCs in the instance.

Of course, you can also work in dungeons, just like Song Jie at the Grand Hotel.

I only found out after browsing the dark web that the "contract" mentioned by the under-bed ghosts is equivalent to an "employment contract".

The difference is that if there are problems with the dungeon, such as the BOSS dying and the dungeon being unable to continue, these eerie beings get a vacation, leaving the dungeon and returning to the eerie world.

Humans, however, do not have this right; once a copy is created, they will never be able to escape.

They were forced to become NPCs in the game.

Unless you make a decisive choice to become a player.

Of course, if you are a player yourself.

You can relinquish your player identity and transform into an NPC.

If you don't want to switch to an NPC, you can choose to participate in the dungeon as a player and die if you fail.

If you successfully complete the level, the game will convert your properties within the instance into Ghost Coins and transfer them to your account.

It will take you back to the bizarre world and let you buy a house without worry.

There are also rewards for completing the level.

That's a matter of personal choice.

Around 9 a.m., the administrator replied to Shi Jinwei with a text message.

The agreed meeting place was a coffee shop on Guijie Third Street.

It's 1 p.m.

It takes about an hour to drive there from her location.

There was no rush. After taking out some fast food from his spatial storage and finishing it, he lay in bed browsing the dark web.

The above has been flooded with content from 29th Street.

Inside the eerie instance, communication with the outside world is impossible.

There is only one player, and his skill is called "Three Lives".

I died and came out to tell everyone that in addition to the dungeons inside the buildings, there are also "delivery" and "takeout" dungeons in the streets.

This is a dungeon that only appears on extremely large maps.

Shi Jinwei had been browsing the dark web for so long, and she only remembered seeing Guiyi Street appear there.

It is also an SSS-level dungeon.

The challenge lies in delivering different weird items; the game ends if you receive more than three negative reviews.

Besides Shi Jinwei being able to use her space to bring out "delicious food" to gain favor.

Food brought into the eerie world by players is not uncommon.

Making things difficult is common, and sometimes players have no choice but to resort to force to suppress them.

……

At 11:00 a.m., Jinwei finished eating in her room and went out wearing the "cat ghost mask".

The journey was smooth, and we arrived on time.

Two people wearing black trench coats and masks were sitting in the coffee shop.

It was the man and woman who led the men in black that Shi Jinwei encountered in the castle.

After a brief self-introduction, I learned that the woman's name was Tang Qingran and the man's name was Zhou Xiyu.

If it really is someone she knows, she should react to the name "Liu Xiaoyue".

Shi Jinwei revealed her real name.

Then he stared at Tang Qingran.

All forum registrations require real-name registration.

It's okay to use a pseudonym when talking to other players, but it's unnecessary to use it with the forum administrators.

They can see your registration information in the backend.

Tang Qingran showed no reaction whatsoever upon hearing her name.

Seeing Shi Jinwei staring at him, he touched his mask and asked, "What's wrong?"

His tone was smiling, and it was familiar.

"You look like someone I know; we even have the same name."

Shi Jinwei spoke her mind.

Tang Qingran was taken aback.

This topic caught their attention.

Tang Qingran took off her mask directly.

Shi Jinwei was surprised by her decisiveness and stared blankly at the familiar face.

He immediately became wary: "Who exactly are you?"

The stern tone startled both Tang Qingran and Zhou Xiyu.

Tang Qingran couldn't wait to ask, "Have you seen a face that looks exactly the same?"

Shi Jinwei hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Not only have we met, we're quite familiar with each other.

Tang Qingran took a deep breath and stared excitedly at Shi Jinwei: "The person you met might be my sister, Tang Yanran. Can you tell me where you met her?"

I never expected this answer.

twin?

Thinking back to the extremely popular dungeon, Tang Qingran, whom I met on the first day, and the others I met later had very different personalities.

To put it simply: "It was in a dungeon, and she was by the roadside reminding me to be careful. The dungeon was called 'High Temperature'."

She said that, and then stared at the two of them.

They didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the dungeon's name, and even excitedly discussed it, saying, "It's another new dungeon, maybe Yanran is an NPC in it."

"It's good news. Keep searching, we'll find it eventually," Zhou Xiyu comforted him.

Shi Jinwei listened silently without making a sound to disturb her.

After calming down, Tang Qingran smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm a little excited to finally have my sister's name."

"It's only human nature," Shi Jinwei understood.

She wanted to ask Tang Yanran more, feeling that the two sisters were connected to the truth.

In fact, Tang Qingran wasn't even a player in the survival game.

She deliberately mentioned "high-temperature copy" just to see Tang Qingran's reaction.

As a result, the sisters didn't react at all, and both Zhou Xiyu and the others thought it was a newly added strange instance.

The two people's expressions were genuine; her idea came to her on a whim.

Even if they cooperate, they can't hide every flaw.

Suspicion has increased again.

But then the system popped up, indicating that the exploration progress had increased by 5%, reaching 50%.

This reaffirms that she is on the right track.

After finishing that, Tang Qingran got straight to the point: "Our people discovered you're looking for information about the 'library' and the 'administrator,' so they'd like to meet you. Are you interested in joining our organization?"

Next, she explained some things about the "Men in Black" organization to Shi Jinwei.

Among human players, the "Men in Black" are a powerful organization, completely different from the small-scale antics of the "Men in Black Robes".
