Chapter 5: Luxurious Newcomer Panel

Seven or eight seconds after the man named "Luo Ji" finishes speaking, the eyelids of the female teammate with an extremely unstable mental state twitch, and Meng Yi, with a slight delay of two seconds, also "wakes up" right after.

In the conference room filled with the smell of blood, the atmosphere falls into a dead silence for a time.

The three theoretical "teammates" size each other up, and no one says anything else.

Meng Yi glances at the area near him with the corner of his eye, but does not find the hand cannon, dagger, chainsword, or long knife he brought in.

*Alright, the "Evolution Paradise" that can pull people from major worldviews can be understood for not letting players use external items to get through the early stage.*

With no weapons in hand, Meng Yi is not panicked at all; his greatest reliance is his "psychic power," not guns and blades.

It wouldn't be impossible for Meng Yi, who considers himself a "cultured person," to cheekily say, "Dr. Meng has never liked fighting in his life, he only likes solving fights."

If there are no "veterans" or "guides" among the players the "Evolution Paradise" dropped into this selection dungeon, and the drop location is only the conference room under their feet, then it really is too arrogant.

Of the three new players, the first to speak, "Luo Ji," is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his clothes soaked through by ice water, making him shiver, looking as miserable as a "drowned rat."

As for his appearance, he is at the average level of a conventional carbon-based lifeform · yellow race, a "corporate slave" around thirty years old, living in the shadow of the Trisolarans all day, looking more weathered and mature than his physiological age.

The female teammate is curled up in the corner against the wall near the window, wearing a silver-white combat suit full of a sense of technology, her silver hair simply bound by a black headband, with the hair behind her falling to her waist.

What is surprising is the color of her pupils; unlike any eye color Meng Yi has seen in his past or present life, the blue-pink pupils look extraordinary at a glance.

Finally, there is Meng Yi, in old, patched clothes, having lived in the bottom layer of the Hive City planet for a long time, so don't expect the smell on his body to be very good. His black short hair, which he trimmed himself, is as uneven as if chewed by a dog, and his face, like a tabby cat, is a refugee style from a war-torn area.

……

Luo Ji, whose physical condition is not very good, really can't hold it anymore, shivering as he takes off his suit jacket and throws it aside, wringing his inner shirt hard, wringing out a large puddle of water stains.

Luo Ji, looking like he has been saved, apologizes to the girl by the window with a face full of apology.

"The situation is urgent, I hope you can understand, Miss."

The girl, who seemed to have only just regained her senses, shook her head indifferently; it was a disregard for life, a listlessness of a heart turned to ash.

"Please go ahead."

Answering with two words as dryly as a soldier, the girl continues to keep her mouth shut and observe the surrounding environment.

*Right, a problem girl.*

Luo Ji sighs in distress, a socialite's greeting smile appearing on his face, turning his head to ask Meng Yi familiarly: "Little brother, what should I call you?"

"……Addressing each other, in this environment, our real names are meaningless. I advise you to take a codename; just call me 'White Devil'."

Meng Yi says with a flat expression, his tone no less indifferent to life and death than the "girl warrior" just now, but at least he can still communicate.

He uses the common language of the Human Empire of the Warhammer world, while Luo Ji uses the Chinese language that Meng Yi is very familiar with.

Through the girl's lip movements just now, Meng Yi is certain that what she said is not any language he knows.

But the three of them can still understand what the others want to express without any error.

*A means of universal language, the "Evolution Paradise" is too lazy to even mention it?*

*Evolution Paradise... Evolution, perhaps what 'He' cares about is only the occurrence of the 'evolution' phenomenon.*

*Some kind of mechanism affecting the multiverse? A big shot who has gained endless growth through the 'evolution concept'?*

Meng Yi falls into a thinking state again, making Luo Ji's eyelids jump wildly.

What kind of place is this? Are the two teammates he met both abnormal?

A weird combination of a problem girl + a problem boy, can they even survive!

"Alright, then Luo will be called 'Wallfacer'."

"Let's see if there is anything around here that can provide information."

The thirty-something corporate slave Luo Ji pats his forehead in distress, carrying the state of a dizzy head, dragging his body that can't exert any strength, and begins to act.

The world is never peaceful, and the universe is a dark forest.

A beautiful life is the same, while a miserable life is different.

Regarding the past experiences of the girl and Meng Yi, Luo Ji does not intend to uncover others' scars, not even asking.

Meng Yi also stops pondering the essence of the "Evolution Paradise"; with his weak strength, thinking too much is useless.

No matter how much of a scam it is, can it be more of a scam than the Chaos Gods of the Warp in the Warhammer worldview?

Blood God · Khorne, Changer of Ways · Tzeentch, Dark Prince · Slaanesh, Father · Nurgle, Eldar Pantheon, Greater Good, Great Devourer, countless Warp Greater Daemons...

The material universe is also full of scams: Immortal Old Ones, Rule Star Gods, Necrons, Tyranids, Orks, Humans, Eldar, Tau, Space Aliens, Fallen...

In comparison, the selection dungeon where viruses are rampant and zombies are everywhere is as beautiful as a dreamlike Eden!

Supporting his hands on the ground to borrow strength to stand up, Meng Yi unconsciously discovers that there is an "∞" mark similar to a Mobius strip on the back of his right hand, like an ancient snake biting its tail.

Focusing his attention on the mark, he naturally receives feedback from the "Evolution Paradise."

A torrent of information gathers in his mind, and the countless complex information is simplified by the "Evolution Paradise" into text that Meng Yi can understand.

*[Semi-digitization is complete, player can check it by yourself.]*

Meng Yi just raises the thought of "checking," and several categories appear in his vision—no, in his mind.

*[One: Information Panel.]*

*[Two: Current Mission.]*

*[Three: Storage Space (Basic 1 cubic meter, can be expanded by consuming Paradise Coins later).]*

*[Four: Permission too low, unable to check.]*

……

Only the first three are visible options, and the ones behind are invisible due to "permission" reasons.

Concentrating his spirit to click on [Function 1 · Information Panel], all of Meng Yi's states are quantified in text form.

*[Warm Reminder: As a tiger entering a flock of sheep, are you willing to retract your claws and choose to be trash?]*

*The world background mentions the "demon" that broke free from the cage, could it be referring to me?*

Meng Yi, who is not fond of fighting in his life, is socially anxious and introverted, "realizes"! ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
