Survival in the dormitory, I was pulled into the management group

"Game name: Zero Degrees," Chen Bei introduced himself.

“Zero Degrees…I think I’ve heard of you before,” the other person said thoughtfully.

"Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. What you're hearing is definitely my embarrassing past."

"It doesn't matter. No one standing here is completely innocent. My game name is 'Boundless,' let's add each other as friends. After all, we're neighbors, and peaceful coexistence is better for everyone."

"Boundless..."

The two added each other as friends on the spot.

There are too many chance encounters in the game.

Chen Bei was already used to it.

These temporary allies, now so close at hand, may never cross paths again.

The two had just met and didn't have much to say to each other.

Chen Bei casually walked into the abandoned room next door, intending to explore it briefly.

He didn't expect to make any major discoveries.

Upon entering, what he saw made his pupils freeze.

In the corner of the room, there was a black egg, about the size of a goose egg.

It was a dark, murky black, and even when light shone on it, it wasn't very bright.

The surface of the eggshell has a slightly bumpy texture.

There is also a white number on it.

7

Chen Bei didn't expect to find the black egg so quickly.

They didn't try to hide it.

Wujie then walked in and saw the black eggs. He analyzed, "The number 7 is written on them, which means that each black egg is numbered and there are quite a few of them."

Chen Bei didn't say anything, but instead took out his charging gun and fired a shot at the black egg.

The bullets were neutralized by an invisible force, causing zero damage.

The black egg is protected by the game mechanics and cannot be destroyed by conventional violent means.

Chen Bei flung out his Thousand Hands Cloak, attempting to move the black egg.

The Thousand Hands Cloak could even knock down walls, yet it couldn't budge the Black Egg in the slightest.

It seems the black egg can't be moved; it can only be fixed here.

Under their watchful eyes, the black egg in the corner suddenly grew larger and made some sounds, the kind of creaking sound of being pulled and expanding.

"The egg has grown bigger," Chen Bei murmured.

"Take photos and videos and post them in the group. Others have also found black eggs in various locations," Wujie said.

Chen Bei took photos and videos and sent them over, while also looking at the information shared by others.

This game doesn't force players to cooperate or oppose each other, but everyone has a common goal.

That is to prevent the black egg from growing bigger.

It is known that there is more than one black egg, and any one of them, if it expands to its limit, can wipe out all the players.

This shared goal alone is enough to unite the players somewhat.

Someone posted other photos of black eggs.

A total of four black eggs have been discovered so far, and the one that Chen Bei found is the largest.

Besides the black egg, someone else found a rule card that was equally important.

There is a black egg that will rapidly grow after the player dies.

The rule, once posted in the group, immediately drew a lot of comments.

[You all saw that, right? Let's all tone it down this game and stop with the fighting.]

[Whenever someone dies, the black egg will grow, and it will grow rapidly.]

Long live peace!

-

It seems we'll need to pay close attention to the information sharing in the group chat for this game.

Chen Bei turned to look at Wu Jie beside him and said, "There's nothing to see here. Let's split up. All we have to do now is search around."

"Okay, let's talk again if you need anything else."

Wujie stepped out the door and randomly chose a direction.

Chen Bei walked away from the other side.

The game has set a good precedent for "peace".

After Chen Bei encountered other players, everyone was very restrained.

It's rare to find such a harmonious atmosphere in a game, with everyone getting along so well.

Chen Bei quickly found a rule card on a chandelier, and took it down to take a look.

All black eggs can be broken in advance using a specific method.

This is another important piece of intelligence.

Black eggs can be broken, but only in a specific way.

If you break it beforehand, it will save you a lot of trouble, and you won't have to worry about how the black egg will grow.

It's like nipping it in the bud.

Chen Bei shared this crucial information in the group chat, sparking a discussion.

[Ordinary attacks are useless; I've tried them. This special method must be very tricky and unexpected.]

[There are quite a few players in this game, so there's no need for everyone to loot. Leave some people near the black eggs and try to break them using various methods.]

[I suspect each black egg has its own weakness, which might be mentioned in the rule cards.]

[Hmm, that's possible.]

-

Chen Bei continued exploring, wandering up and down the stairs.

Apart from black eggs or rule cards.

There were other collectibles inside the building; Chen Bei found building materials, food, and bottled water.

Although it doesn't have much value, it is indeed a necessity.

As they walked, they came across a group of players gathered together, seemingly having made some significant discovery.

Chen Bei approached, passed through the crowd, and saw what they were looking at.

There was a black egg on the roadside with the number 1 written on it.

This black egg has grown to a height of 30 centimeters, much larger than an ostrich egg.

The eggshell became more uneven, and hard, bone-like substances grew on its surface.

This egg is much bigger than the number 7 egg that Chen Bei just saw.

Suddenly, egg number 1 started to grow again, getting bigger and making a squeaking sound.

"It's gotten bigger, it's gotten bigger! This egg is growing so fast. At this rate, it probably won't be long before it hatches."

"The problem is that we don't know what the rules are for it to grow."

"Has no one discovered any information about Egg No. 1 yet?"

"If you ask me, we should all stop watching from here. What if the rule that affects it is 'observation'? As long as we observe it, it will grow."

"This is just your guess."

Anything is possible!

Everyone was talking about it.

The situation regarding egg number 1 has been shared in the group and has attracted significant attention.

Of all the black eggs discovered so far, this one has the fastest growth rate.

But rapid growth means danger!

At this stage, the biggest problem is still intelligence.

In order to curb their growth, we must obtain information about every single black egg.

The players discussed the matter together, offering various suggestions, and finally decided that two of them would stay behind to attack Egg 1, trying different methods.

The rest of you should stop wasting your time watching; you'd be better off doing something productive.

The crowd dispersed, and Chen Bei did not stay behind.

Only two specific players remain to deal with Egg #1, using sword slashes, bullet attacks, and elemental attacks.

Even spitting or farting on it...

After exploring the building, Chen Bei confirmed that it had 16 floors and was of moderate size.

The view outside the window was shrouded in a hazy fog, and the entrances on the first floor were all sealed off. This was standard practice, nothing unusual.

Someone shared a picture of egg number 9 in the group.

This is the largest number of black eggs found so far.

But no one dared to draw any conclusions too early, in case there were even more black eggs.
