Other than the bonus game time, Zhang Heng also noticed that this time’s dungeon was in a single-player cooperative mode.
This was a mode that he had never experienced before, but he had had a better understanding of the various mechanisms since the start of the game. He knew that all single-players were in single-player mode, with the suffix representing the relationship with other players.
For example, he had experienced two single-player competitive dungeons before, so he and other players were competitors in the dungeon. This time, the single-player mode seemed more inclined to allow players to work together to clear the dungeon, which seemed to further reduce the game’s difficulty.
Zhang Heng could not dig out any more helpful information from the background notifications for the time being. He would only know the details after entering the dungeon.
The five-second countdown did not take long, and Zhang Heng’s vision soon returned to normal.
He realized that he was standing in a relatively small room. There were two machines on his left. About the height of a person, some unknown numbers were displayed on them. Other than that, there were also two chairs and six other people in the room.
The small room was obviously not expecting so many guests, so it was a little cramped.
The seven people in the room looked at each other with a hint of wariness.
Zhang Heng did not know what the others were looking at. Anyway, what he saw were six foreign men and women wearing white clothes and white hats. Some were short, and all of them were white. There were four men and two women.
They were all staring at each other.
After about half a minute, a man in his twenties with dark eyes and brown hair asked carefully, “Players?”
His voice was shallow and deliberately vague. At first glance, it sounded like an unconscious moan from someone who had caught a bad cold. In addition, he was a foreigner with a tall and red nose who spoke in Chinese, which was rather comical.
However, he did not expect to hear the others chime in.
“Player!”
“Me too!”
“…”
Since this dungeon was a collaborative one, at least the players in the same dungeon had the same goal. Although it could not be ruled out that some people with ulterior motives wanted to kill and steal, however, before that, everyone had to at least see the light of dawn. Therefore, the players had a relatively peaceful relationship. This was why the dark-eyed, brown-haired young man was willing to be the first to reveal his identity.
After him, Zhang Heng and the rest also revealed their identities.
There was no mirror here, so Zhang Heng did not know his actual appearance. However, his basic skin color and height could still be seen. Like the other six players, he was now a white male, probably not even thirty years old. He had a thick stubble.
In order to fully guarantee the privacy of the players, the game organizing committee would adjust the appearance and body shape of every player in the dungeon that had other players. Previously, Zhang Heng had also changed his appearance in the Apollo project dungeon; therefore, he was not surprised by the current situation.
A blonde girl wearing glasses and looking a little weak suggested, “Since it’s a collaborative dungeon, we’ll have to work together if we want to clear it. Why don’t we introduce ourselves first so that we can get to know each other better? It’ll be easier for us to work together later. It doesn’t have to be too complicated. Just tell us your code name and what you’re good at.”
“Sure.”The young man with dark eyes and brown hair was the quickest to respond. He said straightforwardly, “My code name is young man Zhanfu. My specialty is electronic intrusion and helicopter piloting.”
The blonde girl nodded. “Young man Zhanfu. Why does this name sound so familiar to me? I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere before.”
Young man Zhanfu’s face turned red when he heard that. “I… I like the water player forum. Usually, if I have nothing to do, I’ll always hang up my account. I’ve left comments under many posts.”
“No wonder.” The blonde girl understood suddenly. “Now that you mention it, I also remember. You’re Simon’s fan, right? In the post about Simon, I saw you and the people from the three big guilds scolding each other. You single-handedly scolded four people on the opposite side. You scolded them for a total of five pages.”
“I’m ashamed. I’m still too young. I can’t control my hands. My account often receives the small black room set meal.”The youth said this, but there was no shame on his face. It was clear that he was proud of his one versus four.., in the end, he was proud of the glorious battle record of the four people running away with their heads held high.
Following that, the blonde girl introduced herself, “My code name is Master Kui. I’m good at the directional explosion, Latin, and Jeet Kune Do.”
When her code name was revealed, spirits were shaken. There was nothing they could do. The main thing was that Master Kui’s muscular image was too deeply rooted in people’s hearts, utterly incompatible with her blonde hair and blue eyes. In addition, her skills were also very fierce. Not only did she practice Jeet Kune Do, but she also used directional explosion. Everyone could not help but take a second look at her.
“Doctor, skills are the same as surgical medicine. If everyone accidentally loses a limb, I can help everyone reattach it as elegantly as long as conditions allow,” a tall, thin, and gentle-looking man was the third to speak. However, his humor couldn’t relax the atmosphere.
It was mainly because of the unknown dungeon that everyone was still on guard when they first entered. Hearing him mention the broken limb, they could not bring themselves to laugh.
Three of them started, and the rest of the people also exchanged code names and skills that they were good at. Of course, many people would hide something from them. After all, no one would reveal all their trump cards the moment they entered,
“Simon, detective, vehicle piloting, and knife skills…”
When it was Zhang Heng’s turn, he casually picked a few skills to talk about.
When he finished, he realized that the room was silent.
Those two simple words seemed to have some kind of magic, causing everyone to stop what they were doing simultaneously. As for the young man, his mouth was wide open. He looked as if he could swallow two pancakes and two sesame paste pancakes in one gulp.
After a long while, he regained his speaking ability and subconsciously asked again, “Who are you?!”
“Simon.”
“Oh my God, I actually met the number one god in the national server in a single row!!! You’re Simon, you’re really Simon?!” The young man gushed in excitement. “Does this mean that I can totally win this time?!”
The expressions on the other players’ faces were also different. If one were to talk about who was the most popular in the player circle, nine out of ten people would say Simon. He overpowered the three big guilds and the mysterious beta, obtaining the highest score in the first round of the proxy war. Thus, the critical point was that Simon only used two games, which was ridiculous compared to the others.
