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

Now, all the leaves of the enraged Welwitschia mirabilis are attacking in one direction.

This was a huge bargain for Shi Jinwei.

She threw out a few more shreds, cutting off all the remaining leaves.

The leaves are gone, and the short gourd in the middle stands alone.

The flower she hit was female, and the eyes on the female cone were staring blankly at Shi Jinwei.

The large mouth at the center of the flower's center is wide open.

If the Welwitschia mirabilis had an expression, it would definitely be in a daze right now.

Other players looked at the imposing male flower in front of Tang Qingran, and then at the leafless female flower in front of Shi Jinwei.

I felt that it was "weak, pitiful, and helpless".

Shi Jinwei didn't have so many feelings. Without Ye Zi stopping her, she continued to swing her axe.

It was done in a few strokes of the axe.

Tang Qingran's flower was also eliminated with everyone's cooperation.

For the rest of the time, we just need to eliminate the low-level monsters.

When the system announcement came on in the evening, all the players breathed a sigh of relief.

This damn dungeon is finally over, I'm so tired!

Everyone else was teleported back to the game space, except for Shi Jinwei.

She thought that "real dreams" were a reward similar to "fragments of truth".

You can only get it by returning to the game space.

Who would have thought that, the moment the game ended, her mind wouldn't be filled with the game-ending announcement, but rather:

[This round of dungeon has ended. Congratulations to the [Pioneer Player] for triggering the special reward, True Dream. The dream is about to begin, please prepare!]

Despite being told she was preparing, Shi Jinwei felt her eyelids tingling and she was drowsy.

She clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself not to fall asleep.

Her eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and Shi Jinwei was completely plunged into darkness.

She had another dream, and in her dream she was still an observer.

I felt that I was fully conscious, watching everything that happened in the dream.

It happened when she was in elementary, middle, and high school.

……

[Beep, dream ended. Player gained 30% of memories. Current memory integrity: 70%.]

[Congratulations to player Shi Jinwei for successfully clearing "Anbo City". Based on your overall performance, the reward is 3000 points. Kills earned: 7000 points. Vanguard player exclusive mission reward: 1500 points. Total: 11500 points.]

[Bonus Rewards: Truth Fragment*1. True Dream*1 (Used).]

[3928447189 players have completed this round of the game. The current number of active players is 4579231726.]

[Game item successfully recycled. The next game will begin in three days. Have a nice day!]

The announcement woke Shi Jinwei from her dream.

Slowly opening his eyes, he found himself lying on the large bed in the game space.

She was somewhat stunned when she heard "70% memory integrity".

He sat up, holding his head, and tried to recall the events carefully. He was instantly terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

How could this happen?

She immediately opened the group chat channel, where several players from other servers had already begun discussing:

[Server 2 player]: Um... Has anyone triggered the hidden quest?

The clue "[Hidden Player]" will not be blocked in the group chat.

[Player from Server 8]: Yes.

[Player from Server 5]: +1.

[Player from Server 4]: I got a dream, and I'm still confused.

[Player from Server 1]: I thought I was the only one like this, but after seeing what you guys said, I feel relieved.

[Player from Server 6]: ? ? ? So everyone was dreaming? ? ? The memories are incomplete.

[Player from Server 3]: Yes.

[Server 6 player]: This is completely outrageous! What the hell is going on here?!

……

When the player from server six asked the question, the screen fell silent.

It seems the screen suddenly froze.

Everyone was recalling the scenes they saw in their dreams.

Not only Shi Jinwei, but several pioneering players also discovered a terrible problem—their memories were incomplete.

Or rather, they remember the specific events that occurred before they entered the game.

I remember who my relatives and friends are, and I remember the general outline of many things.

However, upon careful recollection, it was discovered that many details could not be remembered.

Shi Jinwei just dreamed of scenes from her school days, which completes this part of her memory.

She could recall many things that happened at school, as well as the names of her close friends, her homeroom teacher, and so on.

But when she tries to recall anything before starting elementary school, she can't remember anything at all.

She knew she was an orphan and lived in an orphanage.

But what about the orphanage? Who is the director? Who are the children in the orphanage?

She couldn't remember at all.

And what happened after she went to high school.

She knows she is currently in university, working part-time while studying.

However, she couldn't remember her college entrance exam score, the name of her university, her year of study, her major, or her professor's name.

But I remember most of the days I spent working after that.

For example, in the high-temperature scenario, I remember a colleague mentioning "insulation layer" and "water bag".

Some parts of your memory are like being veiled by a thin gauze; you can only remember the general outline.

People are busy trying to survive, and perhaps initially they will reminisce about the past.

After a while, who will still think about it?

Or perhaps someone noticed something unusual but couldn't tell anyone?

She tried typing a question about memory into the public channel and pressed the "send" button.

As expected, just like the information about the "hidden mission," it couldn't be sent out.

Only pioneering players can exchange this information; they still cannot communicate with regular players.

When did these symptoms first appear?

After entering the game?

Has any player noticed this?

—When this question popped into her mind, cold sweat broke out involuntarily.

If the game erases their memories, what is its purpose?

Now, what is the purpose of restoring the memories of several players?

She suddenly felt suffocated.

It felt like being firmly restrained by an invisible hand, with everything being manipulated by it.

Anger and fear of being mocked lingered in my heart at the same time.

After sitting for a long time, the group chat remained quiet.

Shi Jinwei started typing in the channel:

[Player from Server 7]: It seems the only thing capable of erasing our memories is the system. But I don't understand, if it erased our memories, why is it restoring them now?

[Player from Server 2]: I suddenly feel like a puppet, being led by the nose by the game, yet powerless to do anything about it.

[Player from Server 8]: The most frustrating thing is that we don't even know how to resist now.

[Player from Server 1]: Do you guys think this game might be a product of a higher dimension, like in novels, where higher-dimensional beings might watch us complete the game through live streams?

[Player from Server 7]: I have a question. According to the normal game settings, there are players, NPCs, and the system. So, shouldn't there also be game designers and GMs?

Following this line of thought, let's continue to make connections.
