Chapter 399 Wen Ci: The Slowest Runner is the Front RowThe magic teleportation array in the arena flickered, and a tall woman with long, straight chestnut hair stepped out.Her long, straight chestnut hair cascaded down her back. She wore a white tank top with a black fitted long-sleeved top, the cuffs rolled up to her forearms, revealing her perfectly sculpted arms. Her lower body was clad in black flared trousers, the cut of which clung to her legs and the hems hanging over her high heels. She carried a black drawstring tassel bag, exuding a cool and aloof vibe.Caiyuan met her gaze and nodded slightly: "Detective, I didn't expect you to come.""I didn't expect so many of you to come this time."She casually placed her bag on the ground, pulled out a chair and sat down. After looking around, she turned to Caiyuan and asked, "Where's Xixia?"Caiyuan tilted her head slightly, revealing the pearl earring adorning her earlobe. Her clear, beautiful mint-green eyes calmly gazed at the detective: "He's not back yet."Wen Ci, who had sat down not far away, couldn't help but yawn, his eyes filled with tears. He said, "Run, when does it start? I haven't had enough rest. Can I go back to sleep?""Go back after the match is over."After finishing speaking, Rune looked at the detective and asked, "Did you bring the things?"The detective took the core of the dungeon out of his bag and tossed it to him: "Catch.""good."The next second, beams of white light shone on the participants, and they disappeared from the arena.At the same time, transparent screens were peeled off from the white light, each screen corresponding to a player.When Pei Hening came to her senses, all she could see was a vast expanse of white, and she was completely enveloped in a white sphere, so she had no idea where she was.Rune's voice came into the sphere. He said, "The special training location is the special survival instance Q76943. The time flow of the instance has been adjusted. This special training will last for one week. The special training adopts a random poison and random monster spawning system. Points will be calculated based on survival time, resource collection, and number of monsters killed, and rankings will be based on the points.""One more thing, all PVP permissions in this instance are unlocked. There is no safe zone, no protection time, and you can freely attack other players. 'Death' will result in the loss of points and exit the instance.""Upholding the principle of fairness, the dungeon will appropriately block some overpowered skills, items, and weapons.""Good luck, students."As soon as Rune finished speaking, the sphere shattered with a "poof".Pei Hening almost fell to the ground.A cold wind swept by, blowing her long hair. The biting wind felt like steel needles piercing her skin and hitting her bones. Pei Hening shivered involuntarily.The strange feeling quickly dissipated as she pulled up the collar of her blue and white training uniform to reduce the amount of skin exposed.Before me lay an abandoned old factory, with rusted iron frames and broken brick walls interspersed. A huge silo stood in the center of the site, with pipes and walkways scattered haphazardly, and the ground covered with rubble and debris.Pei Hening stood on the overgrown ground and took a breath without warning. The damp smell of rust, the stuffy smell of old engine oil, and the fermenting smell of rotten wood entered her lungs through her nose.She tried to use the items in her backpack. The good news was that she could use them, but the bad news was that there were no masks in the backpack. She took out a silk scarf as a last resort. She was all alone; she didn't know where the others had been.Seeing that there was no immediate danger, she tried using the weapons in her hand, but the only one she could use was the samurai sword she had used at the beginning.[Hobbs's Chainsaw] has a special bonus, so it can't be used; the weapon [Moon Judgment] that Galah crafted for her is of legendary quality, so it can't be used; [Wither] has a special bonus, so it can't be used either.After much thought, the only weapons she could use were her katana, which she used specifically to kill monsters, and [Danny's Claw Knife], a reward for clearing the Goose Dungeon.In the game "Road Survival," weapons have two sets of grading systems. One system uses letters to classify the ratings, while the other system strictly categorizes weapons into quality tiers: Common, Fine, Extraordinary, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical.Whether weapon ratings are based on letters or quality tiers depends on the blacksmith's preference. Newer blacksmiths tend to use letters, while older blacksmiths still use quality tiers.As mentioned in "The History of Magic", in order for new races to better integrate into the myriad races, the Great World needed to digitize the essence of items, making them simpler, easier to understand, and easier to compare quickly. Thus, letter-based rating systems came into being.Pei Hening, holding a samurai sword, began to explore his surroundings.She walked into the abandoned factory and immediately noticed the iron chain strapped to the rusty robotic arm. The chain was about two meters long and completely free of rust, standing out starkly from its surroundings.She walked over, raised her hand and tugged at the chain; it was very tight.Pei Hening spent a lot of effort unlocking the chains, and the rust on the robotic arm was falling off with a rustling sound due to the violent shaking.A temporary light screen suddenly appeared, and Rune's measured voice rang out, "Congratulations, you have obtained 1 Iron Chain, which can be exchanged for 1 resource point. Do you wish to exchange it?"Pei Hening glanced at the screen again; it only displayed player names and scores.1. [Princess Ningning] 3 points2. [A fierce woman falls from the sky and makes a wish] 1 pointThe rest are all 0, and there are no players who have been forced to quit.After getting a quick overview of the information, Pei Hening was about to redeem her points."Splash—"She looked up abruptly; she could hear the sound of water above!Is it a player? Or a monster?Pei Hening weighed the iron chain in her hand. It wasn't heavy and could be used as a weapon. She hadn't exchanged any points yet, but as long as the supplies were still in her possession, she could exchange them at any time.Holding the iron chain in her hand, she carefully climbed up the stairs. There was nothing at the top except for a very large and wide water tank.Could she be overthinking it? Could something have fallen into the reservoir? But the sound was off; it sounded like something was coming out of the water.Could it be what she's thinking?A damp, fishy smell enveloped Pei Hening's neck. A pale, bluish hand reached out from behind her, grabbing her arm tightly, trying to drag her into the water.Pei Hening felt a chilling, icy touch on her arm, and her whole body froze. Instinctively, she lashed the chain fiercely at what—a water ghost? Or some other kind of ghost? The sharp chain sliced off the ghost's scalp, shaving off the entire scalp along with its long hair.The ghostly thing roared and plunged into the water, disappearing instantly. The water in the reservoir remained clean and clear. If it weren't for the scalp on the ground not disappearing, everything that had just happened would have seemed like an illusion.Pei Hening is afraid of ghosts!She dragged her heavy steps and left quickly.On the arena referee's platform, Shu Xiao zoomed in on the transparent screen corresponding to Pei He Ning, frowned slightly, and asked, "Detective, what's going on? How come I didn't know that there were monsters like this in the Q76943 dungeon?"The detective leaned back in his chair, playing with a carving knife in his hand: "The reason why the Q76943 dungeon is so famous among the three types of survival dungeons is because it absorbs the fear of the creatures in the dungeon and creates random monsters."Wenci propped his head up with one hand, watching Winifred's performance. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw Winifred and Rune's students being thrown into the monster's lair, with Rune's students in the front row and running away.He said with a smile, "Runn, your students' reactions aren't good. In this situation, the slower ones should be in the front row."Rune opened his eyes: "He can fight.""Wen Ci, was the one who ran away your student?"Caiyuan also noticed the transparent screen corresponding to Winifred and was puzzled.
