“Could it be some kind of hidden achievement? Like provoking all the players in the server?”
“I don't care about that! My two meals are just gone like that! @Brother Invincible, you’re done for. I officially declare you the public enemy of this partition!”
“@Brother Invincible, come out and talk! Stop playing dead!”
The people behind him seemed to have agreed beforehand, and they all started copying this exact sentence.
The regional channel was being spammed, and Cheng Shuili was just watching the show.
She also wanted to know what benefits Brother Invincible could possibly gain from opening this dungeon. Could it be that he had some enemy he couldn't get rid of?
Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow slightly; if so, his cunning plan would fall through.
Regardless of whether the dungeon was a success or a failure, there wouldn't be any danger to life.
And... Cheng Shuili speculated that even if there were a penalty for this dungeon, it wouldn't be one that endangered the players' lives.
Otherwise, why not just use the same dungeon from last time that deducted game coins into the negative? Why go to the trouble of creating a temporary dungeon?
Perhaps... it was due to some internal division of labor?
Cheng Shuili didn't know much about the inner workings of the system and could only make wild guesses.
In any case, with this dungeon, the system had lost a great deal of face in front of the players.
Cheng Shuili glanced casually at the still-spamming regional channel, only to see an out-of-place reply.
It was posted by Brother Invincible.
【Brother Invincible】: My friends, I just obtained a very novel item and used it in the middle of the night out of pure excitement! Furthermore, this card had no description stating it would force the entire partition to enter the dungeon! Ignorance is no crime; I truly had no malicious intent!
The spamming text stopped, and mockery and abuse immediately followed.
“No malicious intent? You kid, trying to act all educated now? Stop pretending with me!”
“Kneel down and kowtow, and I’ll forgive you. I’m not afraid of losing years off my life, so don't try to pull anything else on me.”
“Screw you, stop with the excuses! I only know one thing: this is all your fault!”
“That's right! I don't care if you intended it or not! If it’s your problem, you have to take responsibility! Everyone in the partition missed two meals because of you, and you think you can just sweet-talk us into forgiving you? You think you’re so important!”
These were the ones who were still being somewhat reasonable.
Most others were just pure insults! They greeted everyone from his immediate family to his relatives, even his ancestors.
There were also more rational ones who had already started analyzing the excuse Brother Invincible made for himself.
“Even if only you entered the dungeon, why would you go in for no reason? This doesn't seem reasonable at all.”
“I also think his excuse is full of holes. However, regardless of whether it’s reasonable or not, I doubt anyone is listening. Anyway, whenever I think of my breakfast that I never got to eat, and my lunch that I never met, my chest aches! Is there any expert who can avenge me?”
“Even though it was just white porridge at night, it was a rare proper meal since coming to this world! I drool just thinking about what I was supposed to eat at night, and then I realize that I would have had breakfast and lunch if it weren't for this dog-thing Brother Invincible... sometimes I really want to risk my life, even if it’s futile.”
“How about we pool our resources to deal with him?”
“I’m in! I’ll contribute one compressed biscuit!”
“I’ll contribute a bottle of mineral water!”
The regional channel chat turned into a bounty board.
But there were also some discordant voices.
“Oh my, he already said it wasn't intentional. Aren't you all being a bit too petty?”
“It’s just two meals, isn't it? I forgive you on everyone's behalf! You don't have to be so subservient; a man has gold under his knees, we shouldn't be kneeling!”
“What’s the big deal? As long as it wasn't intentional. I think he’s not a bad person at heart, we don't need to make things difficult for him, right?”
Cheng Shuili felt smoke rising from her head just by reading what these people were saying.
When did these things manage to mix in among humans?
It was truly terrifying to think about.
Before Cheng Shuili could even speak, the clear-headed players immediately fired back.
“You forgive on everyone's behalf? Who do you think you are? How about this: you cover the two meals for everyone in the partition, and we’ll shut up immediately!”
“A man has gold under his knees? Hilarious. Why didn't he think of that when he caused the whole partition to go hungry? Stop acting so magnanimous now!”
“It’s okay just because it wasn't intentional? If I accidentally stab you, can I say it wasn't intentional?”
“Oh my, are saints being sold by the pound these days? How about this: you guys pay for our two meals, and then this matter is over!”
“Hey, don't blame the saints; these guys are all famous holy fathers in the regional channel.”
What surprised Cheng Shuili the most was that there were actually supporters for such outrageous statements.
“I think what they said is right too. Brother Invincible didn't know about this; if he had known, he definitely wouldn't have chosen to open it today.”
“You guys are being so harsh on him now, but when it’s your turn, let’s see what you can explain! Don't narrow your own paths, family!”
Cheng Shuili pursed her lips, and just as she was speechless, she suddenly received a message from Liang Shanbo.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: Boss... hehe... Boss!
Something is wrong.
Something is twelve parts wrong.
Cheng Shuili subconsciously moved away from the screen, fearing that Liang Shanbo would say something strange in the next second and dirty her eyes.
But this time, she had truly wronged Liang Shanbo.
【Liang Shanbo vs. Pig】: I got it out of him, hahaha! I finally tricked him! Boss! Look at this!
【Special Dungeon Opening Card】
【Description: After using this card, the user (hereinafter referred to as the host) can open a special dungeon hosted by themselves! Once the dungeon is opened, all players in the partition will be forced to participate! At the same time, players who fail in the dungeon will have five items of the host's choosing forcibly deducted, and the deducted items will be directly transferred to the host's personal warehouse.
Attention! First, the host is not affected by the failure penalty of the dungeon. Second, the host can specify the dungeon difficulty for five participating players and limit the participation time for these five players (the minimum time limit for each level is different; the minimum for Hell-level is 10 minutes, Epic-level is 8 minutes...)! If the selected players do not achieve the dungeon objective within the host's specified time, it is considered a dungeon failure! Third, all rewards for successful players in this dungeon will be distributed by the host personally!】
Cheng Shuili's eyes grew brighter as she read, and she couldn't stay calm when she saw that the participation time could be limited.
Is this card's effect too powerful?
It’s already at the level of breaking the game's balance!
She frowned and continued reading, letting out a sigh of relief when she saw there was a minimum time limit.
That’s more like it.
If it could be set arbitrarily, this card would be too outrageous.
Setting it to one or two seconds would be like choosing whoever you want to steal resources from!
Thinking of this, Cheng Shuili's expression suddenly froze. She slowly raised her head, finally realizing one thing.
