Chapter 13: "Escape the tunnel"

A group of players who were still trapped in a closed room, cleared the junk around them, and they all sat in a circle, opening their data panels in unison.

There was nothing they could do in this narrow darkness. Except the data panels which only they themselves can see, and provide some entertainment. These players were almost bored here to death.

They all knew that they were trapped in a locked bunker. Suicide is useless because they will respawn back to this place, with a new body.

Coupled with their zombie-like bodies, it was very difficult to kill if their skulls weren't cracked. These players are starting to give up trying to kill themselves.

....

Berwin: "There are two branch roads in front of me right now. One is a path overgrown with moss, and the other is very dark."

Moe-Kyun: "I think there's a middle way. Remember what master ogway said. There's always a way everywhere."

Joker: "Choose the right path. maybe you'll find a dragonball there."

Aloysius: "Follow your heart."

....

There are two methods of communication channels for players.

First, is the official site forum, and the second is the text chat feature that is in the game.

Speaking in the forums can be ignored for now. Now, the players are again guiding the confused Berwin, using the general chat in the game.

Guiding Berwin, is like playing a lite-RPG game. The players started typing carelessly.

....

Berwin: "I chose right path because many of you have chosen it. Now I have found three more paths. What should I choose?"

Pastor: "Is there light? Don't walk to the light!"

KongMing: "According to the horoscope, you should go to the middle ground! follow your path chosen one!"

Tartala: "Choose the middle ground!"

Longuswer: "Don't choose the middle ground!"

Sherlock Vatican: "It's quite difficult with very limited descriptions. Did you find anything else there?"

Berwin: "I seem to have found a slightly higher number of mutant rat in the middle tunnel..."

Vatican Sherlock: "Then take the middle ground."

Berwin: "Eh? Why?"

Sherlock Vatican: "Nothing. Just because a lot of people choose the middle way."

Berwin: "...."

....

Feel that the directions of these players are not correct. Berwin hesitated a little, and he finally chose the middle ground with some deliberation.

Waited a few minutes in silence, and waited for the next Berwin text message. The players suddenly opened their eyes in surprise.

....

Berwin: "Found it!"

....

With the sound of a machine mechanism moving, and making the floor they were currently sitting on vibrate. The players looked towards the North, and they saw a large hole slowly opening.

"You are all so great! I am not wrong to trust all of you. I'm really very grateful!"

All players: "...."

Do you believe that we are all just guiding you perfunctory?

What are you thanking us for? Our conscience hurts!

"It's okay, it's a small thing."

"Thanks to guiding me, you finally got here. Don't be too shy, be proud of yourself."

"I know I'm great, you don't need to praise us like this."

....

These players, are so shameless.

______

Made it out of the bunker that imprisoned them. The players followed Berwin wisdom, and began sticking glowing vampire leeches into their right hands.

It seems these mutant rat are very afraid of glowing vampire leeches. They just don't know what kind of relationship exists between the two of them.

Hunter or prey? or maybe also carnivores and parasites?

They all don't know. What is clear, they are looking at the mission that appears in front of them at this time with happy faces.

____

View the Title Silver and Title Gold rewards that appear in the event rewards. Although the players didn't know what it was used for, it was still a very rare Title!

The title knight skeleton even only had a purple quality. Does the game developer intend to tell them all to work together to overcome adversity?

"Ahem, if you think about it, your legs look really limp. Can I carry you?"

"I also feel that one of your kidneys is missing. Do you want mine? it's okay, don't thank me. We will get out of this cursed place together!

"Guys, after thinking about it for a while. I've decided to be a good person. Does anyone want to give me a chance?"

"Get lost! Title gold is only mine! Ahem! sorry error. I mean, ours together."

....

Seeing the players who instantly turned into a very hypocritical one, and offering to help each other with a friendly smile. Berwin who saw the group of zombies showing their teeth at each other, couldn't help but snort in disdain.

As a result, a slimy black object came out.

Berwin: "...."

Has a blank look on his face. Berwin suddenly turned his head to the side, and saw, a player was coming towards him.

"If I remember correctly, you said you found a little girl with bear ears, didn't you? where is she?" GoldenSun asked kindly.

Looking at this player with a blank stare. Berwin pointed his finger towards the right of the tunnel, and GoldenSun nodded his head.

"How about we work together?"

Pulling in the confused Berwin, into the team. Aloysius nudged his friends, and he followed them secretly.

"Open forum."

Following Aloysius words. Vinhui, KittyATM, and Longuswer, opened the forum, and they all suddenly understood immediately.

They began to follow Berwin secretly.

See the abnormal movements of the players. One of the players who heard Aloysius whisper, opened the forum, and he immediately shouted in a very loud voice.

"Gosh, they all want to eat by themselves! Guys open the forums!"

Heard a scream, and reflexively opened the forum. The blood of all the players suddenly immediately boiled!

....

Sherlock Vatican: "Well, since I'm still alive and can't finish the event. Then I'll be analyzing some of the content of the current game update, and revealing some spoilers."

"First of all, the gold title that you all want. As the name implies, it is most likely that this title can be obtained by helping fellow players who are in trouble. The more players you help, the more chance you will get [Gold Title: Heart friends.] , However, there seem to be some exceptions."

"Don't you guys realize that Berwin found someone when he was dragged into the mutant rats food storage warehouse? It's most likely a new NPC."

"According to your guess.... Maybe..."

....

Before most of the players finished reading Sherlock Vatican analysis. The players who have a faster than average reading speed. Run right away!

GoldenSun who saw that his plan had been exposed. Instantly drag berwin to run with him!

"Run! Run faster!!! Title gold is only mine! You all can dream!" GoldenSun shouted angrily.

"How could that be! Yours is mine, and mine is mine!" Vinhui returned his shout in annoyance.

"Uaaahhhh!!! Let's go!!!" KittyATM shouted with great excitement.

"Oh my…" Aloysius and Longuswer, could only helplessly sigh.

As for the players...

Finished reading the analysis given by Sherlock Vatican in the forum. They all raised their heads coldly, and ran to Berwin with all their might!

"UWOAHHHHHH!!!"

If no one realized that all of these players were human. People will assume that this is a bunch of hungry zombies!

They started screaming very fiercely!

The mutant rats got scared too!

Nothing can stop them from getting the Gold Title!

Justify all means!

RUN!
