"Let me out!"
"What is this place, I want to go back!!"
"Damn it, bug hiding behind here, don't let me catch you, I'll make you pay a heavy price."
"We've been imprisoned, become slaves of a higher dimensional universe?"
"The world is ending, everyone will die, hahahaha..."
"This is a new world, MY world!!!"
Angry, despairing, fearful, excited, thrilled...
Various emotions mingled in the chat channel.
All this madness stemmed from their environment.
The Dungeon World!
Waking up, billions of people worldwide had entered the dungeon.
There was only one thing they needed to do.
Survive!
Chen Yu withdrew from the chat channel and looked down at the instruction manual in his hand.
[Welcome to the Dungeon World]
[1. Do not doubt, your situation and everyone else's are the same.]
[2. Exploring the dungeon space will yield the supplies and resources you need. Exploration consumes Invitation Letters, and you receive 10 Invitation Letters daily.]
[3. You may encounter combat during exploration.]
[4. You possess a Survival Camp. It may not provide you with security now. Try to repair it.]
[5. The Survival Camp is unique. You bear responsibility for any consequences of discarding or dismantling it.]
[6. The Dungeon World has day and night cycles.]
[7. Your wristband is your operation console. It provides crafting functions, and also serves as a platform for communication, trading, or venting emotions.]
[8. For more content, please explore yourself. Survival lies in exploration.]
The blood-red characters were printed on the dark gold paper as if with fresh blood.
He glanced around.
Dim light illuminated the dungeon space. The moss at the base of the walls could be faintly seen. The large characters "Dungeon Adventure" were written on the wall, surrounded by several bloody handprints.
Eerie and terrifying!
Taking a deep breath, the almost nauseating smell of dampness mixed with clay filled his nostrils.
Chen Yu swore that the conditions here were abominable.
He looked down at himself. He was wearing a burlap vest and seven-tenths length burlap pants. How fair. They had even stripped their clothes before bringing them here.
A black wristband adorned his left wrist.
He tapped his finger on the screen.
A stream of blue light surged from the watch face, projecting into the air.
The projection displayed options such as Chat, Trade, Craft, and Survival Camp.
Chat was divided into World, Area, and Personal.
Chen Yu had already learned about the situations of others on the chat page. Seeing that everyone was in a similar predicament, he felt somewhat relieved.
(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Seeing them so hysterical made him feel much more balanced.
The [Craft] page was very straightforward.
The materials required for items like weapons, tools, and armor were clearly listed.
The required materials were relatively basic resources like lumber, stone, and iron ore. More advanced items were not displayed, likely requiring blueprints to be learned before crafting.
The craft page contained only basic tools.
Hand axe, mining pick, shovel.
The hand axe and mining pick could both be considered tools. The axe could be used for chopping wood, the pick for mining ore, and the shovel for digging. Approximately so.
Under necessary conditions, they could also serve as weapons.
There was no other way.
The weapon and armor pages were completely empty. The craft page only offered basic tools.
If he truly encountered danger, he could only use these for self-defense.
The information provided in the instructions was far too scarce.
Much of it would require him to explore and discover bit by bit.
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yu tapped on the Survival Camp again.
ヾ(｡ꏿ﹏ꏿ)ﾉﾞ
At that moment, Chen Yu was stunned.
A single stone.
Dubbed, the Camp Stone.
[Worn-out Survival Camp: Don't be fooled by its current ordinariness. Repairing or upgrading it will bring you unimaginable rewards.]
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
Can this broken stone really be considered a camp?
Don't be ridiculous.
There wasn't even a tent. Sleep at night hugging a stone?
What then?
Is this a warm stone?
He touched it with his hand. It was cold.
Not only his hand was chilled.
His heart felt utterly frigid.
Chen Yu almost felt like singing "Iron Window Tears."
It reminded him of the words in the instruction manual: it might not provide any sense of security.
Of course not.
Even trying to throw it at a wild beast would be difficult.
Not everyone is an athlete or a fitness enthusiast. An adult picking up a stone is simple, but how far can a ten-kilogram stone be thrown?
Cupping the stone in his hands.
(╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻
Chen Yu blew the hair from his forehead and opened the warehouse.
[Camp Warehouse (Usage 0%/100%): Exploration Invitation Letter x10]
ヽ(｀Д´)ﾉ︵┻━┻┻━┻
Empty.
For the start of a post-apocalyptic game, they usually give you a baseball bat.
This is just terrible.
The general situation had been understood. The current situation was dire and pathetic.
Chen Yu knew that the future would definitely not be like this.
But now, he was filled with worry.
Actually, sleeping was fine. He could accept sleeping while hugging a stone.
But food was essential, right?
Even if he went out to work without pay, they should at least provide food, shouldn't they?
If he didn't eat his fill for a day, he felt unwell.
Chen Yu guessed that this dungeon survival could be viewed as a survival game.
The survivors could be considered players in this game. There would surely be various blueprints and books within the game, allowing players to improve their survival skills.
The only difference was that life here was one-time only.
He looked up.
In a corner of the dungeon space where he was located, there was a white light ring. That would be his true gateway into the dungeon survival.
He couldn't waste time.
In the early stages of exploration, every second counted. Initial resources were the most precious. With the scarce resources obtained early on, one could maximize profits in the trading area.
Move!
He had to move!
Most importantly, he needed to get food.
Although what lay beyond the light ring was unknown, staying here would only be waiting for death.
He should take a chance while his energy was still sufficient. Even if he encountered danger, there might still be a chance to survive.
He collected his thoughts and walked towards a light ring in this enclosed space.
[Ding, please draw your Survival Talent]
The wristband automatically lit up, and a turntable suddenly appeared before Chen Yu.
ヾ(ﾟдﾟ)ﾉ: "There are initial talents too?"
Chen Yu raised his hand and spun the dial with force.
[Ding: Congratulations on awakening the talent "Gourmand"]
[Gourmand: Your soul of gourmandizing has awakened. As one who has awakened the soul of gourmandizing, you possess the following characteristics:]
[1. It gives you a keen sense of smell for food.]
[2. You possess a craving and greed for food.]
[3. You have a high pursuit of delicious food and can savor it more meticulously.]
[4. To satisfy your taste buds, you are skilled at making various delicacies, and the taste will not disappoint you.]
(ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)
That hits hard, buddy. Is this personal insult?
What does this mean?
The whole world is surviving in the dungeon.
He's supposed to be a gourmand?
Do they really think of him as an ultimate glutton?
