Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Xie Yong looked at Yin Yin and helplessly advised, "Yin Yin, this is just a copy of Zero Degree. Although the Empress is very intelligent and emotional, it is still uncertain what she really is. Even what she shows you may not be the real her."

"So Yinyin, don't trust her too much, okay?"

In Xie Yong's view, Zero Degree Games is a data-driven method used by a higher-dimensional world to invade their inhabited world, and all the instances within it are virtual.

Yinyin's colleagues may be real, but how many colleagues does she have in her world?

Furthermore, the nature of these colleagues—whether they are human or not, and their level of danger—remains to be investigated.

To Xie Yong, Yin Yin's colleagues were more like GMs in a game instance, or game administrators, responsible for coordinating and controlling the game's progress, as well as reaping profits from the players.

Yinyin knew that the dungeon was essentially a real world, and apart from some things that the Overseers had conjured up, everyone in it was real.

But she couldn't tell Xie Yong this.

All she could say was, "I can tell the difference between sincerity and pretense, so don't speak ill of my sister in front of me!"

Xie Yong wanted to explain further to her, but seeing her resistance, he had to give up the idea.

"I'll listen to you, I won't say anything more."

Yin Yin was finally satisfied.

After Xie Yong left, Yin Yin did not tell the Empress, but the players' unusual behavior was quickly reported to her.

The Queen's reaction was—no reaction.

In her words, "If they have the ability, they should bring me down sooner rather than later. If they don't, then they can stay where they are. But it is absolutely impossible for me to go easy on them."

After making their conjectures, the players acted swiftly. Xie Yong and his group, possessing high intelligence and the Chang Le Palace waist token that allowed them free access to the palace, formed the main force.

Although the waist tokens from Chang Le Palace didn't allow them to see the deposed emperor, Xie Yong and his group still possessed martial prowess. They easily obtained the deposed emperor's letter and began searching for the various ministers he trusted.

Their operation was initially going smoothly, but things changed after Marquis Anle discovered these anomalies.

Before the Empress had even given any orders on what to do with them, Marquis Anle immediately led his men to begin wiping out the players who had participated in the operation.

Any player who dared to challenge the Empress's rule was imprisoned by Marquis Anle.

Later, when they realized that the prison couldn't hold them, they started issuing pop-up packages as soon as they were caught again.

At this point, all the players stopped moving.

After all, you can take your time to complete the task, but if you miss a pop-up opportunity, it's really gone!

But after this incident, everyone realized that if they wanted to touch the Empress, they had to restrain Marquis Anle first.

However, after learning about Marquis Anle's life and the military forces he controlled, the players decided to take it one step at a time and eliminate him directly. Without a leader with a clear stance, his forces would naturally no longer be as loyal to the Empress as before. The remaining issues could then be handled by the NPCs, greatly increasing the chances of a successful rebellion.

The players finalized their strategy and approached Xie Yong and his companions, wanting them to lead the vanguard. However, to their surprise, Xie Yong refused without hesitation.

The person who came to invite Xie Yong immediately started cursing: "I never expected that Captain Xie would be such a fame-seeking person who only wants to reap the benefits without doing anything."

Before Xie Yong could say anything, the fat man spat out a mouthful of spittle: "You want us to be the vanguard? You're clearly sending us to our deaths!"

"You don't even look at how strong Marquis Anle is, yet you shamelessly say that we'll go first and you'll follow. Follow? Are you really going to follow?"

"Who do you think you're fooling!"

"You're talking nonsense!" The player blushed as his scheme was exposed, but he still refused to admit it and tried to elevate Xie Yong, saying, "Captain Xie, it's only because we all respect your abilities that we thought of recommending you."

"We've been in this instance together for so long, so this is how your team members think of us."

"You just listen to him without stopping him. Do you think that's what you really think?"

The player thought Xie Yong would at least lose face and scold the fat man a few times.

Xie Yong, however, did not comply with his wishes and instead said directly, "I don't think Old Fatty said anything wrong."

Seeing the player stunned, Xie Yong continued, "You've managed to stay this long, so you're probably not newbies anymore. You and I both know perfectly well what will happen and what you'll do once you enter the Zero World. So if I don't think of you this way, how else should I think of you?"

"Could it be... that you all think you're all truly kind and good people?"

Yan'er and the others couldn't help but laugh.

The fat man chimed in sarcastically, "They're all old foxes, who are they trying to morally blackmail?"

The player couldn't refute it, so he could only feign anger and leave in a huff.

Old Fatty said to Xie Yong, "Boss, you're really something else. When you do speak, every word you utter is devastating. No wonder you don't talk much usually; after all, every word you say is gold."

Xie Yong pursed his lips, but he didn't seem particularly happy. After all, he had only fully understood these principles after learning his lesson.

When the fat man and the others saw that he wasn't smiling, they assumed he was worried about leaving: "Boss, what do we do now?"

"Let's take it one step at a time," Xie Yong said. He didn't think the players could successfully assassinate Marquis Anle, nor did he think the deposed emperor could really succeed. But right now, he really didn't have any good ideas. "At most, we'll just have to stay in this world for a few more years."

“That works too,” the fat man readily agreed. “I, the fat man, can enjoy a few more years of a life where I can be waited on hand and foot, and be dressed in fine silks and satins.”

As for Bai Shiyi, who was in a hurry to leave earlier, he was already thinking about what information he hadn't collected in this instance.

Just as Xie Yong had predicted, the players' attempt to assassinate Marquis Anle failed, and they even faced an even more severe disaster than before.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.

Every single indigenous person involved in the attack was beheaded, and the other involved individuals had their homes confiscated and were exiled.

The deposed emperor's confidants, who were still capable of wielding power, were all eliminated. The deposed emperor himself simply gave up and lived a life of debauchery in the courtyard where his family was imprisoned.

As for the players, only Xie Yong and his three companions remained. Every single one of the others was given a free pop-up.

Bai Shiyi was filled with lingering fear and clung to Xie Yong's leg, refusing to let go: "Captain, I will definitely follow you closely from now on!"

When Yinyin arrived, she met Xie Yong's eyes, which were fixed on her, unable to pull himself away and could only look at her helplessly.

Yinyin held back for a long time, but she couldn't help but cover half of her face with her fan, revealing a pair of smiling eyes: "This look is quite unique?"
