[Dungeon: Eternal Illusion]

[Introduction: There was once a rumor that swallowing Master Sanzang, the reincarnation of Golden Cicada, would grant even demons the enviable eternal life sought by countless Immortal Gods. So then… if one were to devour a Daoist possessing Supreme Magical Power… he… she… or it, what could they gain from it?]

[Number of players: 5]

[Main Quest: Survive for 30 days]

[Current assimilation rate: 76.46%]

[Dungeon Level: B]

[Time flow speed: 10:1]

Team dungeon?

Lu Wenwu raised an eyebrow.

Not bad, I like it.

I’m the kind of person who dislikes fighting.

But judging by the dungeon’s introduction, this one seems a bit sinister, doesn’t it?

I bet it’s filled with ghosts and ghouls. Why can’t we have hot-blooded PVE battles between real men?

Just as Lu Wenwu was pondering if all these were for nothing, a familiar white light flashed, and he was already inside the dungeon.

The light was dim.

He looked forward, and the screen was playing Uncle Ying’s classic movie—”New Mr. Zombie.”

This sure is bizarre.

This time, the starting point is in a movie theater!

However, this movie theater seems a bit eerie.

Apart from the five players, the huge screening room was completely empty.

In the spacious and dimly lit room, the cold wind whistled, adding a touch of horror.

More importantly…

How can there be Uncle Ying movies in this dungeon world theater?

True crossover success, huh?

“Who is so inconsiderate to set the air conditioning to sixteen degrees!”

Lu Wenwu grumbled discontentedly and looked at his teammates for this round.

Sitting directly on his left was someone of heavyweight.

He… or it!

It’s simply a… mummy!

Who knows why it counts as a player!

Moreover, this mummy’s name is way too long, isn’t it?

“Uhm… hello, you can call me Ahmed, I’m an undead creature, Level 37, I do a bit of melee and spells.”

Seeing Lu Wenwu and the others focusing their attention on him, the mummy opened its glowing yellow eyes and mumbled some Ancient Egyptian language for self-introduction.

As he waved, dirt crumbled off the light brown bandages.

Thank goodness for system translation!

The other three thought simultaneously while responding with greetings.

Lu Wenwu also embraced Mao Mao and spoke: “I am Violent Dragon, B…+ in strength, skilled in melee combat. This is my Spirit Pet, Mao Mao.”

“Woof! Hello everyone woof!” Mao Mao raised its paw.

“You can call me Zhang Sijia… B+ level.” A soft, sweet voice said, “I’m from the Sea Race, skilled in spells.”

Lu Wenwu then noticed, the short-haired girl beside him may be small, but her figure was intensely captivating.

The most alluring part was she was completely soaked.

The wet clothes perfectly outlined her petite, exquisite body with an astonishing curve, showcasing a breathtaking view that stimulates one’s blood and excitement to the fullest.

[Octopus Demon Zhang Sijia (B+)]: 254100/???

[Current status]: Curious

Seeing the other party’s maximum blood volume with three question marks and far exceeds that blood volume of current stages, Lu Wenwu felt quite envious.

As expected of an octopus, three hearts, nine brains, two memory systems, truly enviable racial talent…

Thicker blood than many human players that specialize in melee combat.

But… why do these guys love to use their real names online?

“My name is Da Bao, B+ level, Curse Master.”

A man from the Prison System, standing nine feet tall and with a waistline also nine feet, introduced himself in a booming voice.

From his shiny bald head, the scar on his face, his small dumpling-shaped ears, his neck as thick as his bald head, and his eyes squinting tightly, he was undoubtedly a fierce person.

Friends who frequently end up in jail should know, you can’t mess with people like this in prison.

He’s definitely a big shot in prison!

But…

This guy is a Curse Master?

Excuse me, what part of you looks like a Curse Master!

Although the Eye of Insight could see his real name, Lu Wenwu couldn’t help but ask, “Bro, you look familiar to me, is your real name Jie Xu Sheng?”

“Jie Xu Sheng? That’s an odd name, I’m definitely not.” Da Bao squinted his eyes hard and shook his head, “You probably got the wrong person.”

“Alright, I guess I got it wrong.” Lu Wenwu shrugged indifferently.

Jiangdong Iron Wall, Yangtze River Natural Barrier!

He had a feeling that in the next second Da Bao would ask if he was going to invade the Great Wu Territory, and then make him suffer a crushing defeat.

This squinting giant was truly imposing.

However, all of this abruptly ended when Da Bao put on a pair of round glasses, instead revealing a different scholarly air.

“Sorry, using curses too much makes my vision a bit blurry.” Da Bao chuckled with a simple and honest aura.

Squinting because of bad eyesight?

This makes a lot of sense!

Now, only one person hadn’t introduced themselves.

“Aiken, Holy Light Knight, B+ Level.” A deep voice followed.

Lu Wenwu followed the direction of the voice.

Seated at the edge was a middle-aged man dressed in a red religious robe, with an expression full of righteousness and seriousness.

His European face with sword-like brows and star-like eyes looked very much like a standard Holy Knight template.

If he were to wear golden plate armor and wield a Holy Light Warhammer, it would be even more fitting.

[Radiant Sect Archbishop Aiken Gorol (B+)]: 78600/78600

[Current Status]: Patient, Slightly Hostile, Holy Light Protection

Radiant Sect?

It’s probably some Extraordinary organization hidden in secular society from the West?

Lu Wenwu didn’t focus too much on the background issues as they weren’t important right now.

Good news: This time there’s one more teammate

Bad news: Still “oddly shaped”

Mummy Ahmed scooted his body to the side.

Even with three people in between, the holy light emanating from Archbishop Aiken still made him somewhat uncomfortable.

“So, do we have any plans now?”

As someone socially anxious, Lu Wenwu wasn’t shy to be the first to break the ice.

“Shall we watch Uncle Ying’s movie? Or go out for a bit of exploration?”

“Sounds good, I haven’t seen this one.” Zhang Sijia was the first to agree.

“I’m good with anything.” Da Bao spoke in a booming voice, “But can you guys help me when we leave later, I think I’m stuck in the seat.”

“This old Divine Continent movie from years ago is a bit scary, I’m not a fan of horror films.”

Mummy Ahmed shivered, the bandages covering his yellow round eyes, and dust falling off him.

“Mr. Mummy, aren’t you a regular in horror movies yourself? How can you be scared of this?” Zhang Sijia asked curiously.

Ahmed shivered as he answered, “Don’t you guys find that Daoist scary? He can even control Reincarnation, it’s horrifying! Feels like I could be suppressed at any moment!”

“Oh, you’re talking about Uncle Ying.” Zhang Sijia nodded, “He really is a powerful Daoist in the movies…”

Lu Wenwu added, “Actually… this movie is a comedy for us, a very genuine Hong Kong-style zombie comedy.”

“What’s funny about it?” Ahmed shouted instantly, “I’m scared stiff enough to break my bandages!”

“Enough!”

As everyone joked around, Archbishop Aiken suddenly shouted.

His face was filled with a look of “disappointment and frustration,” angrily staring at Lu Wenwu and the others.

Aiken harshly reprimanded, “This is a team dungeon with an assimilation rate as high as seventy-six percent, not a place for you to play house! You do know, danger could strike at any moment!”

“Your irresponsible behavior could cost us the mission, risking our lives is one thing, but can you bear the consequence of increased assimilation rate? Can you afford to accelerate dungeon manifestation?”

“You’re all B+ Level players, the backbone of Blue Star’s resistance against doomsday invasion, yet I can’t fathom why you approach a life-threatening dungeon with such an attitude?”

“Facing such a high-difficulty Dungeon World, and yet you have leisure time to watch a movie? I really… sigh!”

He sighed heavily, forcibly suppressing his inner anger.

Just then, apart from the movie being shown on the big screen, several other words appeared.

[Mission Hint: Set off after the movie ends and reach Longevity Village before sunset]

Well, this is awkward…
