【You survived to the 7th】

The dungeon ended.

Liao Yiran woke from the space, gasping with a broken mouth, the aftertaste of death still lingered in his mind, no matter how he tried to calm down he couldn't shake it; this feeling was like a car accident, and this time he truly felt the sensation of death.

Slowly, crystal tears welled up in his eyes, like a meteor streaking across his cheeks, and the seventh wave of corpses died; laughing, he still truly believed that the dungeon only needed to survive normally until day 15 to end.

This time only earned ten participation points; although adding the miscellaneous points from the new dungeon could barely reach twenty points, deducting the twenty points that must be reduced each month also means one must participate in a dungeon.

Anyway, being able to live month by month...

Lying in bed, I opened the world chat; the live broadcast function was already on, and as soon as I opened it I received a push notification.

【Shocking! S Player has appeared! Quickly gather to watch!】

Anyway, there's nothing else to do, so let's just take a look...

Liao Yiran casually clicked it open, but soon his eyes slowly widened; the male on screen was extremely familiar, the comments flashed by quickly, the live broadcast room with 200k heat couldn't keep a single sentence on screen for more than three seconds.

Accustomed to the dark environment, the space had no lights on; only the panel's light remained lit, illuminating the tears in his eyes.

It was just the S Player after all...

After watching a while, I saw the streamer Yilin Ka guiding new players; Liao Yiran also watched silently like the trolls in the live broadcast room; after a while, I saw another push notification, the player ranked fifth on the leaderboard.

The screen again showed S Player's figure; S Player handing the healing medicine to Lin Jiu; in an instant, Liao Yiran even had the illusion of mutual gaze.

The comments also frenziedly called S Player merciless; facing same-term players with cold eyes watching, while old players unhesitatingly gave medicine; to curry favor with old players, also clearly rebutted for S Player, being able to save is the same as saving, and the healing medicine should be given freely to whoever.

Liao Yiran had grown accustomed to such chaotic scenes; finally glancing at S Player, he left the live broadcast room, but soon saw on the forum discussions about S Player; it seemed that in several places, S Player had become a hot search across channels.

Liao Yiran opened a post; its content was a video clip.

【S Player's View on the Game!】

「Enjoy life, enjoy the game... 」

His voice echoed in the dim space.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Lu Ming temporarily changed the meeting point, moving it to Lin Jiu's Room 4 in the Main God Space.

Knowing that if I appeared like that in the square, I'd probably be surrounded to the point of being unable to move.

There was still some time until the appointment; Lu Ming, wearing a cloak, mentioned that Lin Jiu's house is at No. 3 Main God Space; of course, he also asked Lin Jiu's opinion, and Lin Jiu almost without hesitation agreed.

Just after entering the door, Lu Ming noticed a man sitting on the sofa who looked younger than him; Lin Jiu sat opposite.

"Lu Ming!" Lin Jiu waved his hand, indicating Lu Ming.

Although there were some doubts, Lu Ming still walked over; quickly walking to the sofa, that man suddenly put down his tea cup and stood up.

"S Player, good." The man extended his right hand: "My name is Wang Tiechen, also from C Country."

Lu Ming's gaze settled on the other's eyes; he could clearly see the other was slightly taller than him, but their lines of sight were cleverly parallel, forcing Lu Ming to look up to meet eyes.

He bowed, greeting the new player.

"Lu Ming." Lu Ming also extended his hand.

They simply shook hands; Lin Jiu deliberately moved aside to make room for Lu Ming.

"Forget the formalities, just call me Lu Ming." Wang Tiechen said; his neat crew cut made him look extremely approachable.

"Hmm." Lu Ming didn't mind.

Lin Jiu had already brewed tea beside him, still jasmine tea, the taste fresh and mellow with a noticeable aftertaste; it seemed he used his gaze to signal Wang Tiechen.

"Lu Ming, I heard Lin Jiu say you're a student?" Wang Tiechen asked.

Lu Ming nodded: "One semester."

"What major are you studying?" Wang Tiechen picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

Actually, Lu Ming was willing to talk more privately.

He simply replied with three words: "Psychology."

Noticing the other's reluctance to discuss the topic, Wang Tiechen decided to first introduce himself to show sincerity: "I entered the game, a soldier, responsible for border patrol and such."

Hearing the two words "served in the military", Lu Ming's wary heart relaxed a bit; the other's eyes suggested, his skin dark, signs of long-term sun exposure, and his posture upright and straight, indeed looking like a soldier.

One's own country's military, to some extent can be reassuring; Lu Ming was no exception, his gaze toward Wang Tiechen was no longer that strange.

"When I first entered, I was still on watchtower duty; suddenly I heard the game start, and then I entered this absurd game." Wang Tiechen said with a bitter smile.

"I can understand." Lu Ming said: "When I first entered, I was also startled by the dungeon."

Wang Tiechen watched Lu Ming's new dungeon replay and thought he was startled; after all, the teenager opposite directly cut off his hand, as a military body it also caused especially severe pain, and moreover the other was just a student.

"President!" Seeing Wang Tiechen delay talking about recruitment matters, Lin Jiu became a bit anxious.

Look, the president can decide whether Lu Ming joins the guild; I didn't think much, just simply feared the president would agree.

However, Wang Tiechen certainly agreed to Lu Ming joining the guild, a thousand percent agreement; even saying please join, he feared the other would agree.

"Then, I also saw that Lin Jiu always wanted him to join the guild." Wang Tiechen said nervously: "The Border Guild, its original purpose in establishment was to protect C Country..."

First build rapport, without directly mentioning joining the guild; also seeing that Lu Ming might have some resistance to joining, so not stating it outright at first, more directly saying it's to protect C Country.

Although military, in handling affairs it's indeed good, compared to some who immediately ask about joining the guild, Lu Ming thought.

Moreover, Lin Jiu twice used up the guild's precious items for me; the other obviously bore the pressure to meet me in person.
