Chen Kang (67): “…”
Wang Ping (66): “…..Is this system so pitiful?”
Wang Ping’s face twitched, and his heart grew more and more terrified.
Before, he was too naive, actually thinking that the worst-case scenario was that the chat group was dark and full of intrigue.
This chat group wasn’t about being dark, it was a matter of life and death!
If he could, he really wanted to take back his words about Earth OL being a crappy game.
After all, at least he could survive there.
Liu Mei (15): “Do you think this is the most dangerous? No! The real danger is when you first travel through time. The location of the time travel is completely random. It could be in the sky, in the ocean, or in the mountains and forests. The chances of being in a town are relatively low. Moreover, even if you travel directly to a town, it’s not safe, as people may think you’re a monster. Of course, if you’re lucky, they might consider you a god, but even so, whether you can survive depends on your IQ and luck.”
Chen Kang (67): “…I TM…”
Wang Ping was dumbfounded as well.
He used to yearn for time travel when reading novels, but this real-time travel was too treacherous.
Just following Liu Mei’s possibilities, he could understand why the mortality rate among newcomers was so high.
Wu Jun (20): “Ahem, Liu Mei, you don’t have to scare them so much. In fact, each newcomer will randomly get their own Golden Finger after time travel. Although the Golden Finger is not the ultra-powerful type, it’s somewhat helpful.”
Chen Kang: “Really? What a pleasant surprise .jpg.”
Wang Ping looked at his excited fellow newcomers, but he didn’t share their optimism.
After all, if the Golden Finger were really useful, the casualty rate wouldn’t be so high.
Liu Mei (15): “What’s the use of comforting them? Even if they’re lucky enough to get a powerful Golden Finger, they’ll still die if their luck is bad at the beginning. Anyway, I’ve said everything I need to say. With the little time left, I suggest you change into some clothes and shoes that are easy to move in and buy as many compressed biscuits and mineral water as possible.”
Liu Mei (15): “Of course, it’s best to prepare protective clothing, firearms, and other things within half an hour if you can.”
Chen Kang: “…Well, I’m just an ordinary person, so I can only prepare the simplest things. Thanks for the reminder from my predecessors, I’m going to prepare some food and drink now.”
Wang Ping: “I’m grateful too.”
Wang Ping also left his message, quickly changed his clothes and shoes, then dragged a suitcase and ran to the convenience store downstairs to shop frantically.
Eventually, under the strange gaze of the convenience store clerk, Wang Ping filled his entire suitcase.
Wang Ping returned home and packed his clothes, shoes, and pants into his backpack.
“There wasn’t enough time, and I couldn’t buy much.”
Wang Ping looked at his suitcase and backpack, and sighed.
If possible, he would like to prepare the universal set of time-travel items such as potatoes and the like.
With these things, if he traveled to an ancient world, he would be very happy and content.
“Ding, time is up. Time travel begins…”
As Wang Ping was feeling helpless, the cold mechanical voice of the system sounded.
Then, Wang Ping was wrapped in a beam of light and disappeared instantly.
…
When Wang Ping opened his eyes again, he found himself on a muddy dirt road amidst verdant trees, and the chirping of birds in the woods was very pleasant to the ear.
In the distance, there was a village with smoke curling up, causing Wang Ping to be a little lost in thought.
A few seconds later, Wang Ping took a deep breath and finally came back to his senses.
He had really time-traveled.
However, his luck seemed to be good, as the location of the time travel was excellent: neither the sky nor the ocean, nor the wilderness, nor the town, but outside a village.
No one noticed his sudden appearance…
This was undoubtedly a relatively good start.”
Just as Wang Ping was considering whether or not to go and check out the village ahead, the chat group system notification rang out abruptly, causing him to freeze.
“Ding, Group member Chen Kang (67) is dead.”
“???”
Wang Ping’s face was astonished, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Chen Kang and he joined the group at the same time, the time difference was virtually nil.
That is to say, their time travel time was about the same.
He had just arrived for about five seconds, and Chen Kang was already dead?
This was too absurd.
Immediately, Wang Ping tried to mentally access the chat group.
In a flash, the virtual chat group page appeared in front of Wang Ping’s eyes.
The group was lively and bustling.
Liu Mei (15): “Although I thought the newcomers this time would struggle to survive, I didn’t expect a death within five seconds, breaking the record for fastest death.”
Wu Jun (20): “Moment of silence, so tragic.”
Zhang Hu (5): “I wonder where he time-traveled to and what the initial location was, that he died so quickly.”
Fang Yun (3): “We’ll know once the Death Replay comes out. By the way, how is the other newcomer doing?”
Wang Ping looked at the chat group and remained silent.
Well, there’s even a Death Replay? The chat group system is so ‘considerate’.
Wang Ping (66): “I ended up on a muddy dirt road by a small forest, with a small village in front of me.”
Fang Yun (3): “Well, you’re quite lucky.”
Wu jun (20): “Indeed, among all the group members’ starts, you’re already in the top ten.”
Liu Mei (15): “Newcomer, even though you’ve had a good start, don’t be too careless. Otherwise, you’ll still die. Once, there was a group member who had a similar start, but he ran into the village without any precautions. It turned out to be a goblin village, and he was tied up and roasted alive, dying a terrible death.”
Wang Ping: “????”
Oh dear, was it that tragic?
He even got roasted and eaten by goblins.
The dangers after time travel are truly everywhere.
Wu jun (20): “Liu Mei is right, caution is key after time travel. Don’t be careless even if you encounter beings that have a similar appearance to humans. After all, there are many cases of savages eating people. Even normal villages can be very unwelcoming to outsiders, let alone those in the worlds after time travel.”
Zhang Hu (5): “Definitely. Quite a few group members have tripped up on this kind of thing.”
Wang Ping (66): “It’s so dangerous… No wonder so few people survive. By the way, how did you seniors manage to survive?”
Wang Ping was curious about the current situation of the five surviving group members.
Wait, speaking of which, there are five group members, and one of them seems to have never spoken up at all.
