I went berserk in the game of gods.

Chapter 30 A Fool's Inspiration

An Li's words were like a wake-up call.

It would have been better if they hadn't said anything, because once they did... the other players suddenly felt an unbearable hunger.

"What's going on? I've already eaten breakfast."

"This probably isn't about whether we've eaten or not. Hunger... it might be a negative buff present in this instance?"

"Take a close look at yourself, do you feel... slight fatigue? My stamina seems to be decreasing little by little?"

"Mine seems to be decreasing as well, but it's very subtle; I wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't pointed it out."

"Uh... if our stamina keeps dropping, won't we collapse and die in the end?"

After a more thorough self-examination, all the players assessed their current condition and realized that things would not go well if things continued this way.

Especially the fact that my physical strength keeps dropping.

An Li immediately took out a bottle of stamina recovery potion and drank it.

This action attracted the attention of other players... Drinking the potion so casually?
So arrogant?

She must be very rich!

Cao Yu wasn't too surprised that An Li was a wealthy woman. He simply asked, "How is she?"

After assessing her physical condition, An Li gently shook her head: "The hunger is still there, and the lost strength hasn't recovered."

After a moment's thought, she concluded:

"My stamina is dropping, but at a slow pace. If I can maintain this state for about 15 hours, I should be fine."

"Um……"

Cao Yu had actually estimated the time, which was about the same as An Li's.

As players evolve, their mental strength increases, leading to more precise control over themselves. They develop a vague understanding of what full stamina and full mental strength look like, and become very sensitive to the depletion of these stamina and mental strength.

The higher the level of evolution, the more refined the perception.

It's not difficult to estimate how long it will take for you to run out of energy.

As for how long it will take to estimate... that depends on your mental arithmetic skills.

"So, does that mean we'll be exhausted in 15 hours?" The female warrior asked gravely.

"We probably won't last 15 hours unless we stay here the whole time and don't do anything that will drain our energy," the fitness instructor speculated. "I think there must be a way to replenish energy in this instance, otherwise..."

He shook his head, not finishing his sentence.

But everyone understood what he meant.

At this moment, the handsome young man, whose age was between a teenager and a young adult, looked at An Li and said:
"Sister, do you have any speculations or clues about methods to replenish your physical strength?"

"No." An Li replied coldly.

"Uh..." the handsome young man continued, "Sister, you were the first to notice the hunger. You have keen observation skills and are definitely very intelligent. Don't you have any guesses?"

This conversation elicited subtle glances from many people.

Although An Li was wearing a Pikachu hood, judging from her figure, temperament, and clothing style, she must be very young.

Why does this handsome young man call everyone "sister"?

"I'll call you Green Tea Guy then..." Cao Yu looked at the handsome young man and gave him a nickname in his mind.

Fitness instructor, businessman, female knight-errant, bespectacled man, scheming man... Cao Yu looked at the remaining three players.

A bald man was subtly glancing at An Li.

A round-faced woman looked somewhat lost.

There was also a woman with a capable demeanor, dressed in a business suit, who exuded the aura of a corporate executive.

The female executive then spoke:
"We've all just entered the instance and haven't even left this plaza yet. We have too few clues, so there's no point in guessing. Why don't we go ask the people inside the instance? Maybe they know something?"

She seized the opportunity to suggest:

"This is a supernatural dungeon; dungeons involving the dead are never easy. Let's team up and work together; that way we can help each other out if anything happens. What do you all think?"

“Sure, count me in,” the female warrior was the first to respond.

“Count me in too, so we girls can form a team,” the round-faced woman immediately said.

After saying that, she looked at An Li and asked, "Are you coming?"

An Li ignored it.

Female executive: "..."

What an idiot! Why do you have to emphasize your gender in a situation like this? Doesn't that just make people immediately think you're a troublemaker?!
Sure enough, the fitness instructor shook his head and said:
"We have too little information and no direction to explore. Forming a team now would be too inefficient. Let's split up and explore first."

“I also think it’s better to explore separately first.” The businessman smiled and pointed to the fitness instructor: “I’ll team up with him.”

"Don't you want to reconsider?" the female executive said with a smile, "Going it alone in a supernatural instance is not a good choice."

"It's more dangerous to act with fools..." The merchant shook his head and said, "Let's arrange a time to meet, and then we can exchange information. How about we meet back at this square before dark?" "Okay."

The person who gave the reply was not the female executive, but the man with glasses.

After saying that, he left with the bald man.

It was clear that the two knew each other. The bald man had a fierce demeanor, but the man with glasses, who had a refined and scholarly air, was the one who led the action.

At this moment, the man with the green tea complex walked towards the female executive. Upon approaching, he greeted the female executive, the female knight-errant, and the round-faced woman respectively, and said with a smile:

"Sisters, may I travel with you?"

The female knight-errant remained silent.

The round-faced woman immediately stepped forward and replied, "Of course. But we're all girls, so you'll have to protect us."

"Sister, you're joking. You all look much better than me," the man with the green tea smile. "But don't worry, I won't hold you back."

Actually, what he really wanted to join was the "ruthless bandit team" that An Li was in.

Firstly, Cao Yu demonstrated formidable strength. Secondly, An Li is likely a wealthy young woman with no shortage of props... Unfortunately, both of them are difficult to approach.

We can only settle for the next best thing.

“Everyone else has left, let’s hurry up and get going.” The female executive reminded her teammates, “This city, with its current climate… it should be summer. If it’s the same as the real world, then there are less than two hours until dark, we need to hurry.”

……

After leaving the square.

An Li asked Cao Yu directly:

"Why didn't you encourage others to join you this time? Do you already know how to clear the level and don't need them anymore?"

Cao Yu: "..."

There were too many flaws in An Li's words, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Suppressing his speechless feelings, he replied in order:

"First of all, I didn't instigate anyone; that was called cooperation. Miss An, you really have a deep misunderstanding about me!"

Secondly, the background information and hints provided for the dungeon are too limited. It would undoubtedly be more efficient for players to explore the dungeon separately and then regroup to exchange information.

Finally, the dungeon has only been open for less than ten minutes. Why do you assume I already know how to clear it? What do you take me for?

"Just call me An Li, no need to be so formal," An Li reminded her. "We're kindred spirits. By the way..."

She took the initiative to ask:
"Do you need me to turn those two people you just killed into corpse puppets?"

"..." Faced with such a single-minded player, Cao Yu could only give up explaining and went along with her tone, saying, "No need, I just like chopping people down. By the way, do you have a safe channel for buying and selling items?"

An Li nodded and said, "The Liu family is just a small family. The two new props you just acquired are not even hot potatoes. I can help you sell them."

Cao Yu couldn't help but sigh, "This is the benefit of communicating with intelligent people."

He only made a start, and the other party immediately guessed what he was going to do, saving him a lot of trouble.

At the same time, he was also somewhat amazed at how quickly money could be made through murder and robbery.

He used to need to participate in two dungeons to get those two items, but now he just killed two players to get them... No wonder so many players like to do this kind of thing.

Of course, someone with such a great personality and noble character as him would naturally be able to restrain such base desires.

"We'll talk about selling items after we leave the instance. Just come find me then," An Li continued. "Right now, we have two locations to explore: the police station and the cemetery. Which one do you choose?"

"A cemetery..."

Cao Yu glanced at the player panel.

[Note: The dead will rest forever in their graves]

Instead of choosing one of the two options An Li gave him, he asked:

How do you think the dungeon name 'Shared Grave' should be interpreted?

“For now, we can only understand it literally,” An Li replied. “Many people are buried in the same grave, which is called ‘common grave’.”

"Then do you think there's a pre-built 'common grave' in this instance?" Cao Yu asked, while also pondering, "If it exists, how large is it, and how many people are buried there..."

"..."

An Li subconsciously glanced around at the surrounding streets.

There is a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

Some passersby were curious about her and Cao Yu's "pickup truck robber" outfits and cast curious glances at them.

Everything looks normal.

But Cao Yu's words gave her a bad feeling...
