The game's sounds continued.
The once bustling chat channel, as lively as a vegetable market, seemed to have been paused; everyone stopped what they were doing and listened to the voices in their minds.
In the minds of all survivors, the sound of the game announcement is never a good sign!
"What dungeon?"
On the mat next to her, Zhang Xinlan was awakened by the voice in her mind. She rubbed her eyes groggily and mumbled a question.
Obviously, anyone who is forcibly fed a large amount of information in their sleep will be awakened.
This is also a way for games to prevent people from missing notifications.
Yu Wang briefly explained the situation in a low voice: "It's a regional group copy announcement."
Zhang Xinlan immediately became more alert, and the two sat side by side in the dimly lit cabin, listening intently.
This raid is divided into zones, featuring treasure hunting, mazes, arenas, and PvP—the content of each zone is completely randomized! How about that, are you both nervous and curious?
[Don't rush, let your section administrators draw the winners! Let's see who Lady Luck will favor this time!]
After a brief pause, a slightly playful voice with a "coo" quip replaced the game's gloating mockery.
[Here I am, GuGu! Dungeon draw in progress————]
[Draw complete!!]
[444-District Dungeon: The Great Adventure of the Pac-Man Ship!]
[Instance Description: In a certain rich sea area, many magical and delicious beans have appeared! There are muscle beans, ...]
Stamina beans, healing beans—wow, there are so many! Come and steer your little boat and collect them all! The more you collect, the higher your score! Top performers will receive generous ranking rewards!!
(Small print note: These beans have a chewy texture and are rich in nutrients, made from pure, natural marine essence! Please enjoy them with confidence!)
[Participation Requirements: All survivors in Zone 444 may voluntarily choose whether to participate. Participants will be temporarily teleported to the corresponding sea area along with a ship. After the instance ends, survivors will be teleported back to their original coordinates.]
[Hint: Survivors aren't the only ones foraging in the sea! While enjoying your meal, please be mindful of what's behind you!]
[Registration deadline: From now until 6:00 AM. Late registrations will not be accepted!]
Special Note:
[1. Players are allowed to participate in the instance as a fleet, with each fleet only allowed to select one ship as their participating vessel. (Fleet members' participation is voluntary.)]
[2. The instance lasts for 12 hours, and participants are exempt from today's mileage.]
[3. Beans that are consumed can still be counted towards the total score]
The uproar over the announcement finally subsided, leaving behind countless hearts pounding wildly.
The channel was in an uproar, with messages flooding in so fast it was almost impossible to read them. Messages like "@You're going to have a stroke of luck" were pouring in like snowflakes, too many to count.
Yu Wang quickly flipped through the messages and found that most of them were asking if he would participate in the dungeon.
The celebrity effect works like this: when faced with a problem that is difficult to grasp, people will unconsciously refer to the choices of those with strong abilities.
Yu Wang looked up again and found Zhang Xinlan staring at him with wide, still slightly sleepy eyes: "So—are you going to participate?"
"Of course," Yu Wang replied without the slightest hesitation.
Team dungeons offer rich rewards and are often key opportunities to widen the gap between survivors and acquire scarce resources. In his previous life, countless inspirational stories of ordinary people rising to the top ten on the leaderboard all happened after team dungeons, and he couldn't possibly miss it.
"Okay, then I'll sign up too. More people will definitely make the bean-scooping process more efficient." Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinlan immediately started operating her panel and quickly completed the registration application.
After she finished her work, she glanced at Duck A, muttered something about how much her demeanor had changed, and then went back to sleep.
So everything just now happened while I was half asleep and half awake.
Yu Wang was both amused and exasperated, but he also submitted his registration information. However, as the captain of the fleet, he had to take an extra step to confirm the ships.
The ships participating in the instance are naturally faster, and there's also the "Little Yellow Duck" with its cannons.
After finishing all that, he lay back down on his makeshift bed on the floor, casually opened the still-bustling public chat channel, and amidst countless messages tagging him, succinctly sent a single word:
You're going to hit the jackpot! "Yes."
No matter how much turmoil the chat channel churns after I speak, or how many people's minds I change.
Yu Wang closed his eyes, blocking out the noise from the outside world, and began to silently recall all the information about this "Pac-Man Boat" instance from his previous life.
Although the wounds on his body still throbbed, his mental and rational states, after the ordeal of testing his own condition, had actually decreased instead of increased.
But this will not delay the dungeon process.
On the contrary, according to his memory, this instance itself was the perfect opportunity for him to quickly recover his condition!
Based on memories from their previous life, a group of survivors analyzed the strategy and concluded that the "Pac-Man Ship" instance is located in a vast, circular, shallow water area surrounded by island chains and reefs. It's also a natural nursery for apex predators like the "Longtail Lemon Shark," "Three-Headed Shark," and "Sharknado." The game announcement's warning, "Please be sure to watch your back," refers to these predators, most of which are less than three meters long.
Predators in their juvenile stage.
While teaming up with multiple people offers greater advantages, it also makes them more vulnerable to being targeted by shark swarms.
However, this is not an exaggeration at all. Fish of this size can be killed with a single shot from a "water cannon," so they are not a threat at all.
Thinking about the source of ammunition for the water rocket cannon, Yu Wang's heart suddenly ached.
It wasn't physiological, but psychological; he felt a deep sense of regret for the shell that cost 0.5 pearls per shot!
Firing a cannon is a waste of money!
"Wait, why do I have to fire the cannon? It's not like I can't fight it myself—" The thought had just popped into his head when Yu Wang quickly cut it off!
He forced himself to mentally prepare: "Pearls are just resources! Tools! You have to use them when necessary! Only beans can earn enough ranking rewards and make more money!"
Then I hypnotized myself: Pearl coins are just resources, just resources —
After struggling to convince himself, Yu Wangcai continued to recall.
In addition, the beans produced in the dungeon are a good thing.
Their purpose can be known from their names.
Eating muscle beans can significantly enhance training results, almost equivalent to two months of grueling weightlifting, and there's even a chance to directly increase attributes!
Stamina Beans, sanity Beans, etc., as the names suggest, can be eaten to quickly replenish the corresponding values.
And what he needs most right now are healing beans, which can quickly heal his injuries and bring him back to full health as soon as possible.
According to Yu Wang's knowledge, there are even rarer resistance beans that can increase resistance to abnormal statuses, but they are extremely rare, and finding one is entirely a matter of luck.
Most importantly, he knew of a small bug in this dungeon that allowed him to quickly obtain a large number of beans without spending a long time searching!
In the sea surrounding those islands, there is an entrance to a cave beneath the water.
Due to the unique hydrological environment and the action of underground currents, a large portion of the beans are swept into the cave by the water flow and accumulate in the still water area of the cave, forming a natural "bean gathering point"!
What does this mean?
This means he doesn't need to spend a long time running around and dealing with sharks like other survivors.
He can find the cave directly and then effortlessly obtain the fruits of others' labor that would take them hours to accomplish on the sea!
Secure high scores and aim for the generous rewards of ranking first!
In my previous life, the lucky person who discovered and took advantage of this "Bean Cave" was, by sheer coincidence, the player in the chat channel who was always active, presented himself as a "saintly" person, and whose ID was "Let the world be filled with love".
If it weren't for her personality—"using sharing strategies as a pretext to show off and gain attention and favor"—and her embellishment and boasting about her discovery of the cave and easy gains after the dungeon ended, other survivors might never have known about such a clever trick.
Of course, under the game rules, dungeons are not reused, so knowing this information is useless to later players.
But "Let the world be filled with love" garnered a lot of praise at the time, such as "My sister is so kind-hearted" and "If only everyone could be so selfless," which greatly boosted its popularity and goodwill.
Now, it's actually Yu Wang, who has been reborn, who benefits.
He carefully reviewed and confirmed the information he remembered about the approximate location and entrance features of "Bean Cave" several times in his mind until he was sure that every detail was clear and accurate.
After doing all this, he gradually relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.
At five o'clock the next morning, before dawn, a blood-red moon hung alone in the night sky.
"Gah—! Gah gah!"
In the silence, the quacking of ducks rose and fell.
Yu Wang opened his eyes almost the instant the sound rang out. There was no trace of the drowsiness of just waking up in his eyes. He had deliberately kept himself in a light sleep last night, just waiting for this moment.
Zhang Xinlan, who was next to her, suddenly sat up, her hair disheveled, and looked around blankly: "What's wrong? Are we going into a dungeon?"
Yu Wang stretched his stiff neck and casually replied, "The dungeon starts at six o'clock. We have an hour to go, so let's wake up early to make some preparations."
There's really not much to prepare. At most, you just need to wash your face and have a simple hot breakfast to enter the dungeon in the best possible condition, so you don't get suddenly teleported in and caught off guard.
Five fifty-nine.
The two, who had eaten expired instant noodles, waited quietly in the cabin.
As the opening time of the dungeon drew near, the world seemed to be muted, even the sound of the waves seemed to have become quieter.
Six o'clock sharp.
[Ding! Registration for the "Pac-Man Boat Adventure" group dungeon in Zone 444 has closed!]
[Counting participants — Count complete!]
[Number of participants: 50196]
[Teleportation is imminent! All participants, please prepare!]
Countdown: 3-2-1
