The one in the driver’s seat was a short-haired, bespectacled young man in a white jacket and jeans, slender build, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the left rear seat was a long-haired girl in a long dress, unremarkable in appearance, wearing thick glasses and freckles on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting on the right rear seat was another girl, young, with a ponytail, dressed in a black suit, pretty in looks, but her expression was timid, her eyes filled with panic none of the other three possessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While observing the other three, Li Cheng himself was being watched by them with strange glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: Li Cheng’s attire was utterly shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a yellow Daoist robe from Maoshan, underneath a bulletproof vest, a cross necklace around his neck, an Islamic scripture in his left hand, an assault rifle in his right, night-vision goggles on his head, and several sets of blessed Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This combination was wildly mismatched, as if he were mentally deranged—so absurd that even mockery felt impossible to articulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Stage One Mission Time Limit: 2 Hours】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Stage One Mission Failure Penalty: None】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Mission Briefing Sent】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Shuijing City has always been perceived by its people as a tranquil and peaceful place—until this serenity was shattered by a series of bizarre deaths.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【A late-night TV program crew visited the city’s renowned folklorist Ishikawa Kenichi, hoping to invite him as a guest—but learned he had vanished three days prior.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The four-person team returned to the TV station; on their way back, they witnessed something that caused their vehicle to crash and sink into the river.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash—splash—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the mission briefing complete, river water poured relentlessly through the minivan’s windows and door seams, slowly sinking the entire vehicle toward the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mission name: ‘Cursed Vengeance.’ The briefing mentions ‘bizarre deaths,’ and the failure penalty is still none.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-circled driver sighed, “In supernatural-themed script missions, having no failure penalty is the worst penalty of all. Forget it—let’s all get out first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his body turned semi-transparent, dissolving into streams of green 0s and 1s, floating upward through the roof and landing on the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-haired girl on the left rear seat rolled down her window, leapt lightly onto the roof, then jumped ashore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cheng opened the door, stepped into the icy river, and saw the ponytailed girl in the rear right seat struggling to unfasten her seatbelt, drenched in sweat. He helped her open the door, released the belt, and pulled her to shore by swimming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four successfully escaped. The dark-circled man quickly said: “To avoid confusion with new players, let me clarify: in Killing Field team missions, there’s no ‘friendly fire immunity.’ Players can attack each other, though the damage is somewhat reduced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Repeated attempts to harm teammates will be flagged by the system as malicious gameplay, resulting in severe consequences: level reduction, or future missions becoming punishment missions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, team members’ safety is somewhat guaranteed—you don’t need to overly fear betrayal from your own team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all on the same boat now—we must cooperate fully. To show sincerity, I’ll reveal my player ID.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snapped his fingers, and a line of text appeared above his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Overworked Coder · Stack Trooper】【Lv7】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly—the “Lv7” above the dark-circled man’s head was his current level, 【Stack Trooper】 his ID, and 【Overworked Coder】 his title.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once a player reaches Lv5, the title system unlocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Killing Field assigns a specific evaluation based on the player’s performance in missions, granting a unique ability equivalent to a passive skill that doesn’t occupy a skill slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Players can earn multiple titles but can only equip one at a time, with a 48-hour cooldown before switching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you’ve gone first,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long-haired girl snapped her fingers and revealed her ID: 【Insect Awakening · Summer Solstice】【Lv2】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suited ponytailed girl beside her timidly raised her hand: 【Little Red Riding Hood】【Lv2】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Li Cheng: 【Ant】【Lv2】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three Lv2s and only me at Lv7—what’s the Killing Field playing at? Am I being treated as a babysitter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stack Trooper rubbed his temples, his gaze lingering on the golden emblem pinned to Little Red Riding Hood’s black suit chest. “Oh? You’re from Japan’s Bureau of Anomalous Affairs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Red Riding Hood stammered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like China’s Special Affairs Bureau and America’s Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Special Incident Division, Japan had established its own official agency: the Bureau of Anomalous Affairs. That golden emblem was their insignia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be nervous. Our team’s average level is only 3.25. The difficulty won’t be too high.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stack Trooper smiled amiably, though internally he remained calm and analytical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Killing Field team missions, members’ strengths are generally balanced, with complementary abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, the system wouldn’t assign four players specialized in healing to a purely combat mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stack Trooper had completed numerous solo and team missions, and even explored real-world Killing Fields with seniors from his guild, 【Whale Song】—his experience was extensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among all Lv7 players, his strength should rank in the upper-mid tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his level, the system wouldn’t assign him three pure newbies just to drag him down—that meant one of Insect Awakening, Little Red Riding Hood, or Ant was hiding their true level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person might have encountered the supernatural even before becoming a player, becoming a transcendent—allowing them to be rated at Lv2 with power comparable to his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that Little Red Riding Hood was from Japan’s Bureau of Anomalous Affairs, she was most likely the one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buzz—buzz—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A noisy sound interrupted Stack Trooper’s thoughts. He turned toward the source and exclaimed, “Dude, what the hell are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player named Ant had somehow produced a diesel generator, a power strip, an ironing board, and an iron—and was now, like a housewife, calmly ironing the Daoist robe he had just taken off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1066,"2026-06-19T22:31:22.154Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a6a7958d93df25e7262292f282f51fafe9196bdeaee71349ddf9693ea8cd14e7","player-reboot-chapter-67","player-reboot-chapter-65",612,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fplayer-reboot-cover.jpg"]
