◛ : chapter 1 !!

An old wooden house, a dark square table with mottled marks. Lin Ruo sat on a rattan chair, flipping through the work manual in her hand.

Suddenly, there was a messy and hurried sound of footsteps outside.

Dongdongdong, dongdongdong.

The long-disrepaired wooden door was knocked from the outside, making a dull sound, followed by the panting shouts of several young boys and girls.

"Hello, is there anyone here?"

"Can you hear me? Is there anyone inside?"

"This wooden house is so old, is it abandoned... or should we go in and take a look?"

"If there is someone, it would be bad..."

The voices of discussion penetrated Lin Ruo's ears through the thin wooden door. She closed the work manual and put it on the table.

The wooden door creaked open.

The discussion outside stopped abruptly, and several young and energetic boys and girls were stunned at the same time, with complex and confused eyes.

Lin Ruo stood at the door, looking at these people who came out of nowhere without a sound.

Six people, four boys and two girls, all with the clarity and innocence that only college students have in their eyes. It seems that she is not the only one who has not figured out the current situation.

One of the boys stood up first, and said politely: "Sorry to bother you. We don't know why we got lost here. I want to ask, where is this?"

Who knows where this is? Lin Ruozhen sighed in her heart speechlessly.

Just yesterday, she quit the company she had worked for for two years, and planned to travel with her few savings to have a good rest for a while.

But who would have thought that she would have a car accident on the way home from the company. A large truck that ran out of control ran through the red light and ran straight over the taxi she was riding.

In the blurred and confused memory, there are broken windows, the roof and seats squeezed over, and the suffocating feeling...

She didn't know whether she was dead or not.

In short, when she regained consciousness, she was already sitting in this old wooden house, and on the table in front of her was a work manual with a light gray cover.

What she couldn't understand was that her name was engraved on the cover of the work manual.

Could it be a worker with the same name as her?

Curiosity drove her to open the work manual, but except for the first page, it was all blank, and the title of the first page was - NPC work rules.

There was not much content, only a short sentence: guide and record players to complete the copy game tasks.

She read this manual over and over again.

Originally, she had no idea, but looking at the few people who suddenly came to her inexplicably... a not-so-good guess suddenly flashed through her mind.

... It shouldn't be, right?

Ignoring the confused and puzzled eyes of the few people outside the door, Lin Ruo turned back to the wooden house, walked back to the square table in three or two steps, picked up the work manual again, and opened it again.

The first page was still the NPC work rules, without any changes.

But... the second page was no longer blank, and line after line of words appeared little by little under Lin Ruo's gaze, gradually becoming clear.

Title - Player Task.

Survive in the game rainforest copy for seventy days.

Game copy? Player task? Lin Ruo couldn't help but frown slightly, and continued to flip down, only to see that the third page of the manual also had content.

Title - Player Information

Player One: Chen Shu - Health: 100 Points: 0

Player Two: Ji Wenbin - Health: 100 Points: 0

Player Three: Qiu Yan - Health: 100 Points: 0

Player Four: Shang Zhengyang - Health: 100 Points: 0

Player Five: Xu Wei - Health: 100 Points: 0

Player Six: Jiang Yuerou - Health: 100 Points: 0

Six players, exactly the same number as the number of people outside the door. Lin Ruo paused while flipping through the manual. The people outside the door were all players... What about her?

Closing the work manual, her name was neatly engraved on the cover page. With

his fingertips resting on his own name, Lin Ruo, whose thoughts finally came to light, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.

So?

Could she be the owner of this work manual, the miserable worker?

It's outrageous. Did she agree?

It's fine that he became a worker again for no reason. The most important thing is that the manual only contains the work content, but it doesn't mention that there is a salary!

Isn't this a blatant forced sale?

Lin Ruo, whose mentality has changed a little, looked at the work manual again, feeling quite bitter and resentful. At this time, there was movement at the door again.

"Um, sorry." The boy who had just asked outside poked his head out of the wooden house, "My name is Chen Shu, I don't know how to call you, but can you tell us where this place is and how to get out?"

Chen Shu was a little surprised.

They didn't know why they suddenly appeared in this uninhabited deep mountain forest. They walked for a long time before they saw this small wooden house. They thought it would be the residence of an old man who lived alone to guard the forest, but unexpectedly, a pretty girl who looked about the same age as them came out.

Lin Ruo turned his head and looked over. The moment he heard the boy's name, his brain flashed the contents of the work manual very well.

Oh, this is player number one.

However, she squinted her eyes. These players seemed to be completely clueless about the current situation, not much better than her.

Forget it.

Anyway, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for them to survive the car accident. Let's take it one step at a time. Lin Ruo turned around and sat down on the rattan chair, found a comfortable angle to lean against it, and looked up at the players at the door.

"My name is Lin Ruo, and this place is a game copy."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Shu and a few others stood at the door and looked at each other, completely unable to understand what Lin Ruo meant by this sentence.

"What do you mean by game copy?" A curly-haired boy stood up and asked.

These people who were recorded as players in the work manual really didn't know the current situation at all. Lin Ruo felt a little embarrassed.

In this case, it is not easy to explain.

After thinking for a while, she made a very considerate analogy: "Perhaps, you have seen that kind of plot, some chosen people will inexplicably enter some strange game world, and must complete some tasks before they can return to their original world."

Then, she changed the subject: "Now, you are the chosen ones, uh, your current task is..."

Lin Ruo calmly turned to the second page of the work manual and confirmed: "Your current task is to survive here for seventy days."

"..."

Chen Shu, who seemed the most stable among the few people, fell silent after hearing this.

But the curly-haired boy who asked the question just now was unique. When he heard this, his eyes lit up: "Game dungeon, survival mission, it sounds like it's interesting!"

The boy in black clothes next to him saw that the situation was not right and hit the curly-haired boy's shoulder without any hesitation .

"Qiu Yan, put away your game brain first. Have you forgotten how we got here?"

The words of the boy in black clothes made the other people react, and there was a trace of panic in their eyes.

This aroused Lin Ruo's curiosity. She blinked and asked: "Then how did you get here?"

Several people avoided Lin Ruo's gaze and did not speak, as if they were hesitating whether to speak.

Lin Ruo sat up straight from the rattan chair. She was really curious about this matter.

She came here after dying in a car accident, and inexplicably became an NPC working for free. So why did these people with player identities come here?

Lin Ruo waited patiently for their answers.

After a long silence, a girl with waist-length hair frowned and said uncertainly: "We... We seem to be dead."

"Weiwei." Chen Shu reached out and gently held the girl's arm, soothing her, "Maybe things are not as bad as we thought, maybe we haven't..." So

is he dead or not? Lin Ruo held her chin and thought, so what is the difference between becoming an NPC and becoming a player? Random division?

The boy named Qiu Yan asked again impatiently: "Then can we go back as long as we complete the game task?"

As soon as this key question was raised, the people at the door all looked at Lin Ruo.

Lin Ruo came back to his senses from the previous question and spread his hands innocently: "I don't know."

"Ah?" Qiu Yan didn't hear the answer he wanted, and asked again without giving up: "Then what rewards will we get after we complete the game task you mentioned?"

Reward? This... It's not written in the manual. Lin Ruo spread her hands innocently again: "I don't know."

However, her mood instantly improved a lot.

People really need comparison.

Although she has no salary, these players do not get any rewards for completing missions! You

can slack off at work, but for this inexplicable game mission, if you can't survive for seventy days, doesn't it mean you will die again?

Lin Ruo's heart suddenly felt a little delicately balanced.

The only boy who had not spoken among the six people at the door suddenly looked at Lin Ruo warily and asked: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

This question came unexpectedly. There were six of them, but only Lin Ruo.

But Lin Ruo was not panicked at all. After all, she had just obtained an identity that was particularly solid although it had no salary. She curved her eyes and copied the original words in the manual.

"Let me introduce myself to you again. I am an NPC in the game. I am mainly responsible for guiding and recording you to complete the game tasks."

"How do you prove that what you said is true?"
