Childish and melodious songs echoed in my mind.
The tune was cheerful, but Jiang Yao felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
Fifteen players arrived not far outside the village at the same time. The arched red-painted wooden archway stood in the bright red sunset. The sky gradually turned black, and the breath in the air was cold and biting.
Through the archway, one can see red brick houses. The village is low-lying, backed by mountains and rivers. The dead trees look like evil ghosts with their teeth and claws in the dimming light, spying on them all.
'Ding~'
The sound of the game system rang in their ears, and everyone looked stunned.
There was a transparent panel in front of Jiang Yao, with the identity she needed to play printed on it.
[Player: Jiang Yao]
[Location copy: "Dragon Girl Village"]
[Character: Tan Zhaodi]
[Age: 12 years old]
The government personnel who needed protection were bound to her identity, and Jiang Yao saw her identity from the side.
[Player: Li Yu]
[Character: Tan Pandi]
[Age: 11 years old]
Li Yu is a key protected person of the government, not because she is very strong in clearing the dungeon, but because she is already an expert in a certain field.
The reason why she needs protection is because she suffers from ghost phobia and has weak talents. Her chance of survival in the game copy is zero.
After reading the message, Li Yu looked at her.
The beauty and gentleness of her facial features give people a sense of security.
But the next second, Jiang Yao saw her whole body trembling, her beautiful almond eyes turned red, and she clenched her mouth, lest she scream.
Jiang Yao: "…………"
She looked away and looked at the other players standing around with expressions ranging from panic to fear to calmness.
After a round of inspection, Jiang Yao discovered that, except for her and Li Yu, the other players' levels ranged from level 5 to level 9.
Only they, one at level 3 and the other at level 2, are particularly eye-catching.
Some players even gave them sarcastic and disdainful looks.
Player level is extremely important, and there is only a slight difference between levels. A higher level means more thriller coins and props.
Level 7 dungeons, their level is so low, death is inevitable sooner or later.
Before they could communicate, everyone lost consciousness.
When Jiang Yao woke up, his environment changed. What he saw was an old wooden window with paper and red paint. A few rays of gray light came through the gaps, and he could barely see the room clearly.
She and Li Yu were lying on the loess piled with thatch. The ground was uneven, the brick walls peeled off some dirt, and an old electric lamp hung above their heads.
A thin layer of fine water droplets adhered to the walls and floor, and even the air and thatch were damp and cold.
"Well……"
Li Yu woke up in a wet, cold and sticky state. When she opened her eyes, she first noticed changes in her body.
The limbs are shortened, the hair is cut short, and the delicate and fair skin becomes rough and covered with thick calluses.
Before she could open her mouth to scream, Jiang Yao covered her mouth.
"Don't talk yet." Jiang Yao lowered his voice and reminded her close to her ear.
Li Yu shut her mouth tightly and looked at Jiang Yao in shock.
She knew that the man in front of her was sent by the White Feather Army to protect her.
Before entering the dungeon, she checked Jiang Yao's identity. He was the only newcomer to receive an S rating and ranked first on the rookie list.
When they first met, Li Yu saw that she was not very old, she was also a girl, and there was nothing special about her.
Until they entered the dungeon together, the calmness she showed was far inferior to that of Li Yu.
Jiang Yao had no intention of paying attention to her thoughts. All his attention was on the conversation outside the door.
"Why haven't those two losers woke up yet? It's so late."
"I can't blame you. What's the use of having so many losers? They'll be lazy at home. Go and wake them up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, rapid footsteps came towards their room.
"Get dressed!" Jiang Yao said.
Although Li Yu didn't know what happened, he trusted her very much and immediately picked up the folded clothes on the ground and put them on.
Jiang Yao dressed quickly and helped her put it on after finishing it.
Before the door was opened, they were fully dressed and standing at the door.
The person who came was a thin woman with a sallow complexion. Her hair was wrapped in navy blue linen, revealing a mean face, and she gave them a vicious look.
Jiang Yao was the first to speak: "Mom, let's go cook now, don't be angry."
After saying that, regardless of her reaction, he dragged Li Yu and walked out.
Perhaps because she was so knowledgeable, the woman said nothing more.
Li Yu was confused, but he still followed Jiang Yao and ran into the small kitchen built next to the tile-roofed house.
It was not the kitchen she imagined, but an old stove house in the countryside. One person lit the fire and the other managed the stove.
"Don't ask yet, you light the fire and I'll cook." Jiang Yao spoke quickly and started to get busy after saying that.
Li Yu had burned the fire. When she was at a loss, she saw a figure standing outside the kitchen house with her peripheral vision.
It was the woman she had seen before, and she was staring at them with evil eyes.
Li Yu felt like he was being held on fire, his blood was frozen, and his scalp was numb with fear.
This is the emotion this body brings to her.
She bravely picked up the firewood piled in the corner and started to light the fire. Everything was done instinctively, as if she had been doing this kind of thing since she was conscious and had long been used to it.
The moment she lit the fire, a system notification sounded in her ears.
[Role playing completion: 5%]
Jiang Yao, who was washing and cooking rice, also heard the notification sound.
Just as she thought, the role-playing copy means that players must play according to the role assigned by the game.
The woman supervising the work outside the door stood for a while to see that they were not lazy, and then left slowly.
After burning the fire, Li Yu discovered something unexpected from the firewood pile.
"Rules! They are rules!" She picked it up excitedly and handed it to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao asked: "Don't you look at it first?"
Li Yu was not as glamorous as she was before she entered the dungeon. At this moment, she was gray and gray, with only her bright almond eyes attracting attention.
She shook her head: "I don't think it's useful, but you think it's useful."
Li Yu knew very well that it was Jiang Yao who saved him just now. The woman with her hair wrapped in linen had evil intentions and was waiting for them to make mistakes and punish them.
Jiang Yao said: "Let's watch together."
She handed them the rules printed on the bark of the tree.
[Role-playing rules:
1. Don’t let anyone discover your true identity!
2. Play your role well! !
3. Try to find identity information to avoid exposing flaws! 】
The bark flips over and information about the copy is printed on the other side.
["Dragon Girl Village": Fifty years ago, Yanhe Village suffered a flood. The Dragon Girl came and saved the lives of everyone in the village. Yanhe Village was also renamed Dragon Girl Village and was protected by the Dragon Girl. 】
