Kingdom of Corrosion

Why wouldn’t you betray each other? Of course, you couldn’t. You didn’t get any points for killing someone, and after they resurrected, they’d definitely seek revenge. In the end, you wouldn’t earn any points, instead continually losing them.

...

Cooperation officially began. Under the leadership of Player Maya and Peanut, Hunting Evil Nightmare began to hunt down all humans in the city, prioritizing players with the ability to resist. As long as they could crush the grouped players, the remaining ants were of no concern.

Lin Wu was the only righteous person in the gang, aiming to take down the player fortresses of Hunters. Guided by the map and the Nightmare, he made his way successfully to the Hunters’ resurrection point.

The resurrection point was a hall over 100 square meters, surrounded by a variety of priced food. A bun cost one point, a loaf of bread two. The most expensive were caviar and truffles. Although unappetizing, they were priced at a staggering 800 points.

Inside the hall was a long dining table covered with candles and fruits, all of which were free. Behind the table was a circular pool about 15 square meters. Lin Wu was familiar with the pool, a Resurrection Spring constructed by the Shadow base where the resurrected would slowly rise from its depths.

The water was 50 centimeters deep. Lin Wu pulled up a chair and a bunch of grapes, sitting in the water. His left hand held a dagger, his right hand eating grapes. Where did he put the grapes? Naturally, in a bowl, which was then held by Wai in its mouth. Wai showed neither pleasure nor displeasure with this task, so Lin Wu assumed it enjoyed it. After all, what dog doesn’t like to fetch?

The first unlucky soul was a Hunter who hadn’t yet met his fate. Within 3 seconds of his head emerging from the water, Lin Wu stabbed him 10 times, 7 of which landed after he was already dead. According to the rules, players holding a Gold Card and Resurrection Card would resurrect 10 minutes after death. Lin Wu looted the corpse and found some bullets. He sat back down, crossed his legs, signaled Wai to lift the bowl higher, and reached for a grape.

The second unfortunate one was Blood Meng, who needed 5 seconds to resurrect. Just as she came back to life, she saw Lin Wu holding a sinister-looking dagger, which scared her witless, "Brother, please don’t..." Corpse Looting, not bad, a hundred bullets.

Why didn’t he find any rifles? Nightmare’s explanation was that equipment brought into the instance from the game wouldn’t be lost upon death. Why were they so rich in the beginning to buy all sorts of items? There were two reasons: one was the weapons and supplies brought from the game into the instance. The other was the special agent points used for purchases within the game. Conversely, the points they earned in the instance could be converted into game points. Points earned by players in the instance could only be exchanged for prizes.
