Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

"[Dungeon Scroll (Green): Danger and opportunity coexist. After use, you can teleport the survivor to the dungeon - Psychedelic Forest. In this dungeon, not only wild beasts will appear, but also various magical creatures. The dungeon supports up to 4 people in a team, and the challenge time limit is 8 hours.]"

"This dungeon can obtain talent and skill cards. Are you interested in joining?"

Zhang Shi took a look at the copy scroll and sighed softly.

"Every survivor who makes it to the leaderboard has had some kind of adventure."

Zhang Shi was very interested in this copy.

The snow has blocked the entrance, forcing all survivors to suspend their exploration. This dungeon promises a wealth of experience and high-quality supplies, making it a rare way to maintain growth and gain a head start on other survivors.

Zhang Shi did not hesitate.

"Okay, when will we leave?"

Ge Dalong quickly replied, "Don't worry, get ready first and set off tomorrow morning."

Zhang Shi nodded, thinking that digesting the acquired resources first would also reduce some of the dangers in the dungeon.

"Understood. Let me ask one more question. How many people are there in the team now?"

This time, Ge Dalong paused for two minutes before replying.

"There are only two of us right now. I'm sending private messages to the top survivors in the regional leaderboard one by one."

Zhang Shi rubbed his chin, understanding Ge Dalong. After all, this dungeon was dangerous, and most people would rather stay in the shelter and live off their resources than venture out and explore.

Since dungeons can be challenged by teams of four, survivors must raise the average level of their team. Obviously, the easiest way to do this is to pull people from the recently announced leaderboard.

"Zhao Feng, ranked fifth on the list, is my friend. I'll talk to him and there shouldn't be any problems. I just don't know how you'll ensure everyone's safety."

Zhang Shi bluntly pointed out the most uncontrollable risk point of this trip.

The four of you may have collaborated to some degree, but who can guarantee that everyone has no ill intentions? Don't risk working your way through a dungeon only to be backstabbed by a teammate.

"If you find a suitable candidate, bring him into the team. I believe in your judgment."

"Once you join a team, teammates are immune to friendly fire. You don't have to worry about problems within the team."

Ge Dalong seemed to have been prepared and sent an invitation to form a team.

This was the first time Zhang Shi had seen a team invitation, and he guessed that this might be a newly unlocked function of the system.

Two new windows appeared in Zhang Shi's dashboard, one for himself and the other for Ge Dalong. Curious, Zhang Shi clicked on Ge Dalong's information, and a task panel appeared before him.

Name: Ge Dalong

Race: human

Level: 1

Grade: Ordinary

Power: 6

Agility: 6

Constitution: 6

Mana: 6

Talent: None

Ability value: 6

"6, turned over!"

Zhang Shi sighed sincerely and couldn't help but feel curious about why Ge Dalong's magic attribute was so high.

After the team was formed, the teammates' attributes were revealed. Ge Dalong was also checking Zhang Shi's attributes. His eyes fell on the scholar talent. Ge Dalong was a little surprised and muttered to himself.

"Mythical-level talent. If you focus on developing, you'll definitely crush the other survivors. Is this the reward for first place?"

……

Zhang Shi called Zhao Feng via video, and the two of them boasted to each other as usual.

Zhao Feng's luck exploded, and he found an exquisite-level skill card from a rare treasure chest.

"[Skill Card - Sweep (Green) x1: Requires a polearm, deals 5% damage to all enemies within a 200-meter radius.]"

"Shitou, do you like this skill? If you like it, let's trade it directly."

Zhang Shi smiled knowingly, rejected Zhao Feng's kindness, and also demonstrated his skills.

"Wow, that's a purple skill. I knew it, if you can get first place, you definitely won't be short of items like this."

Zhang Shi did not refute, but pulled Zhao Feng into the team.

There was a chat group in the team. Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong introduced each other, and then Ge Dalong stopped talking. I guess he went to look for the last team member.

Zhang Shi remembered that when he used Ding Zhen to identify Zhao Feng, his ability value had already reached 6. He curiously checked Zhao Feng's attribute values.

Name: Zhao Feng

Race: human

Level: 1

Grade: Ordinary

Power: 10

Agility: 6

Constitution: 10

Mana: 0

Talent: None

Ability value: 6

At first glance, he had typical warrior attributes. Zhang Shi smiled, thinking it fitted Zhao Feng's personality. After all, he had been a fitness enthusiast since school.

After closing the system panel, Zhang Shi sorted out his equipment and prepared sufficient supplies for tomorrow's adventure.

Thinking about tomorrow's adventure, Zhang Shi was a little excited. Coupled with the fact that he had slept too much during the day, he suffered from insomnia, which was rare. He tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Shi rose from his bed, refreshed, and opened the system panel to check the time. It was just past six. He casually glanced at the bottom of the system and stumbled upon the fourth character window. Apparently, Ge Dalong had also found the last member of his team.

When I clicked on it, I saw a familiar face.

Name: Wu Qing

Race: human

Level: 1

Grade: Ordinary

Power: 4

Agility: 4

Constitution: 11

Mana: 4

Talent: None

Ability value: 5

Zhang Shi stared at Wu Qing's physical attributes, which were higher than Zhao Feng's, and recalled her appearance in the video.

"I remember this girl was quite slim. Does this Wild World video also have beauty filters?"

There is a message from Ge Dalong in the team chat group last night.

"Let's set off on time tomorrow morning. Everyone should be prepared in advance."

The chat group was silent at this time. Zhang Shi guessed that everyone was still asleep, so he got up, washed up, and prepared breakfast.

The wind and snow outside unexpectedly became weaker. Because the snow in the courtyard was cleared in time, it did not pile up too high, which saved Zhang Shi a lot of trouble.

Zhang Shi opened the window to get some fresh air. Perhaps it was because his physical condition had improved, but he felt that the temperature outside was not so cold anymore.

Some foods that were difficult to preserve were placed in the warehouse outside.

In this kind of weather, nature is the best refrigerator. Within an hour, the fresh meat will be frozen harder than stone.

Breakfast was the leftover hot pot from yesterday. Zhang Shi also added some noodles to quickly fill his stomach.

Thinking about going out today, Zhang Shi was not sure whether Pippi could come with him, so he grilled some steaks in front of the fireplace, prepared some well water, and hugged Pippi, giving him a serious warning.

"Pipi, I'm going out soon and may not be back until the evening. During this time, you have to take care of the house honestly. Eat meat when you are hungry and drink water when you are thirsty. Don't do anything naughty. If you encounter any danger, don't go out. Just stay in the house and wait for me to come back. Do you understand?"

Pipi understood what Zhang Shi meant and looked at him aggrievedly, obviously wanting to go out with him.

"Buzz~"

There's news in the team chat group.

Zhang Shi opened it and saw that it was sent by Ge Dalong.

"Is everyone ready? If you are ready, I will start the dungeon."
