[Begin transmission, countdown 3...2...1...]

Swish!

When Chen Bei opened his eyes again, he was teleported to an unfamiliar hall.

Under his feet was a platform device similar to a teleportation array.

The hall is slightly larger than a basketball court, and there are several doors around it, each with a sign on it.

The most obvious is the bathroom.

There are twenty teleporters in total, scattered around the edge of the hall, each corresponding to a player.

A game with twenty players is considered to have a relatively small number of participants.

Chen Bei stood in place, looked around, and quickly recognized some familiar faces, quite a lot of them.

The most eye-catching one among them is Harley with a two-color ponytail!

And the two were not far apart.

When Chen Bei saw Harry, he felt a little overwhelmed.

"Didn't we agree to be even in the last game? Why are you sticking to me again?" Chen Bei said depressedly.

Upon hearing this, Harley got furious and yelled, "Shameless! Who is after you? You don't think I'll buy you special privileges and chase you! You're such a narcissistic guy. We were randomly assigned to the same place this time. It's just a coincidence. Don't overthink it. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your stinky mouth apart!"

The other party's words made Chen Bei feel relieved.

It's just a coincidence...

It would be terrible if Harley came all the way here to hunt him down.

"Boss Zero!"

A man's voice sounded from the side.

Chen Bei looked over and found that it was Lian Cheng.

Liancheng is not even twenty years old yet, and he still has some childishness in him, just like a grown-up boy.

With a bright smile on his face, he ran towards Chen Bei happily.

"Boss, I have bought the privilege to enter the same game with you. In this game, I will be your younger brother and help you. Just tell me if you need anything." Liancheng said with a smile.

"Didn't I tell you not to waste this kind of money..." Chen Bei said.

"Hey, it's actually pretty good to be in the same game with you. I can get your care. I'm willing to spend the extra money."

"..."

Chen Bei was speechless.

He felt that he was an ominous person and that getting too close to him would lead to bad consequences, so he didn't want anyone to be his follower at all.

"Boss, I heard about your pursuit of the poisonous dragon. That's awesome. You kill anyone who offends the Mutual Aid Society. You are simply the killer of the Mutual Aid Society."

Liancheng was like a fan chasing a star, talking excitedly to Chen Bei.

Chen Bei ignored it and observed the surrounding environment and people.

In addition to Hali and Liancheng, I also saw some familiar faces.

Handsome as a dreg, Beloved Van Gogh, Black Beast, Crazy Chu, Horseless Knight, Explosive Lead Singer, Black Phoenix...

Some players only have “one chance to play”.

Some of them have known each other for a long time.

For example, the madman Chu raised his strong arms and greeted Chen Bei.

The female player named Black Phoenix has a deeper relationship with Chen Bei. Their destinies were once bound together, and they also witnessed the opening of the door to another world together.

Like Chen Bei, Black Phoenix chose to stay instead of fleeing to another world.

Black Phoenix's equipment from head to toe was changed, but there was no change on her face. She had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, and her skin looked even whiter because she was wearing a black feather coat.

"Old acquaintance." Black Phoenix smiled and greeted Chen Bei.

Chen Bei nodded and said nothing.

The twenty players present came forward and greeted each other.

Chen Bei gradually realized one thing.

The players in this game seemed to know each other.

Either you know me, or I know him.

It's like a big web of interpersonal relationships.

I don't know if this is a coincidence or if it's intentional in the game.

Everyone introduced themselves to each other, and Chen Bei checked their respective game names with the player list.

There are 13 male players in total: Zero Degree, Liancheng, Handsome as Hell, Beloved Van Gogh, Black Beast, Chu Kuangren, Horseless Knight, Explosive Lead Singer, 24 Degrees is Most Comfortable, Desert Fox, Da Doudou, Young Master, and Mr. Lu.

There are 7 female players in total: Harley, Black Phoenix, Tang Mimi, Yan Ruyu, Big Eyes Meng, Li Cuilan, and E Cup Milk Tea.

Everyone sat face to face, some chatting with acquaintances, and some discussing the game itself.

"What's the purpose of this game, putting us here for an hour?"

"Anyway, nothing good will happen."

"The snake mentioned in the rules should be the main enemy. If everyone works together to fight the snake, then this game will be more of a cooperative one, rather than a confrontational one."

"I like cooperative games because the players are much scarier than the monsters..."

Everyone was chatting.

Someone ran to explore the small rooms around the hall and soon made a new discovery.

"Come on, there are snacks, milk tea, coffee, cold drinks...it's quite complete!"

Upon hearing this, everyone rushed over to check.

In one room there is a snack cabinet, a milk tea machine, a coffee machine, and cold drinks in the freezer.

Holding these foods in your hand will trigger the prompt.

The general idea is that you can enjoy the food here, but you can't take it away.

"There's food and drinks, and the treatment is so good, it's like a gathering with friends."

Someone muttered.

It does feel that way.

It even makes people temporarily forget the survival game itself.

"Boss, what do you want to eat?" Lian Cheng asked enthusiastically.

"Everyone take your own." Chen Bei said.

There was no need for everyone to be polite, and everyone took what they liked to eat.

There is a variety of seating in the hall, as well as small tables.

Everyone took the food back, put it on the table, and ate and chatted, which was more comfortable.

Gradually, the twenty people formed some small groups.

At least two people.

A few people at most.

Only Harley was the least sociable, sitting there alone with her legs crossed, drinking alone. When other male players came over to talk to her, she scolded them away without giving them any face.

In addition to Harley, six other female players gathered together.

On Chenbei's side, there were four people: Liancheng, the Horseless Knight, and the Handsome Guy.

Liancheng is like a fanboy.

The Horseless Knight had worked with Chen Bei before. If it weren't for Chen Bei, he would most likely have died.

Handsome as hell has also worked with Chen Bei. As his name suggests, he is the kind of handsome man who can stand the test of all kinds of aesthetic standards.

This kind of grouping among players is an inevitable phenomenon and may also affect the subsequent game progress.

Just as others have speculated, this kind of party-like arrangement must have a purpose.

Chen Bei secretly looked at the management group.

He can get information there that others don't know, allowing him to be one step ahead of others.

[Let them have some fun first and get to know each other. After all, the betrayal of acquaintances is more interesting.]

[The few 'insiders' are all quite patient. They haven't shown any abnormality.]

[Old players are all old actors, each one is more cunning than the other.]

[They are almost unable to laugh.]

[The first snake will give them a warning!]
