Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

The man who had been idly standing around seemed to be irritated by the man’s antics, and finally couldn’t help but speak up.

”I say, stop fooling around and do a quick intro for the newcomers, start looking for our task objectives. We can’t just keep standing around on the roadside.”

”I’ll start with introductions. I’m Chen Fei, a veteran player, currently on my sixth game.”

After Chen Fei’s introduction, the female companion of the goofy guy next to Miao Shuangshuang spoke as well, ”I’m Lin Yu, an experienced player, currently on my fifth game.”

Miao Shuangshuang looked at the other three newcomers who seemed out of sorts and chimed in, ”I’m Miao Shuangshuang, um, just finished my first game, not really a veteran player yet.”

Once Miao Shuangshuang finished introducing herself, Chen Fei and Lin Yu were taken aback, and after a long moment, Chen Fei blurted out, ”Wow, a god!”

Miao Shuangshuang: ”What?” How could a newcomer be considered a god?

Seeing Miao Shuangshuang’s surprise, Lin Yu explained, ”The task we’re doing now is a guidance task.

This game pulls people in unexpectedly. Some newcomers are unlucky, entering the game only to meet ordinary veteran players, where helping or not depends solely on personal willingness.

However, some newcomers are quite lucky. As soon as they enter the game, they are paired with a veteran to guide them through, with the veteran responsible for ensuring the newcomer survives to complete the task.”

Even though a veteran player doesn’t face any penalties if the newcomer dies, there’s no reward either. But if the protection task is completed, they receive double rewards.

This task, despite being a hassle due to newbie assistance, is indeed a rare opportunity as the newcomer tasks aren’t too challenging, yet the rewards are substantial.

To ensure newcomer protection, the game naturally picks seasoned veteran players.

But you, having only played one game, are assigned to this task. You must have passed the first game exceptionally well.

Moreover, you passed without having a veteran as a guide since newcomers who pass with a veteran’s help don’t receive a level evaluation.

In my long experience in the game, fewer than ten people managed to excellently pass their first game solo, and they are all considered gods now.”

After Lin Yu finished, she excitedly came closer and hugged Miao Shuangshuang’s arm, ”I’m truly lucky today to have encountered a future god. I must embrace you now, oh ’golden arm’ god!”

With Lin Yu saying so much, Miao Shuangshuang noticed one particular issue, ”Can players communicate with each other? How do you know so much about other players?”

Lin Yu nodded and said, ”As a first-timer, you wouldn’t know much yet. Once you pass three games, you can access the game forum and social circle.

You can gossip and chat about the game in the forum and find teammates to form a team for future games in your social circle. Having reliable teammates makes it easier to complete tasks.

And as long as two players confirm trustworthiness, they can even connect in the real world, be friends, or if they wish, even date.”

Miao Shuangshuang nodded thoughtfully, meaning that during her first game, those two veteran players she encountered must have teamed up to play together.”

While Lin Yu was talking to Miao Shuangshuang, the goofy guy approached, rubbing his hands and smiling, ”Hey, you two gods, would you mind listening to my introduction?

My name’s Zhao Chu, I’m a comedian, experiencing my first game. Please take good care of me, gods!”

Miao Shuangshuang and Lin Yu both turned to look at Zhao Chu, whose appearance was indeed quite cheerful, and his goofy personality perfectly matched his profession. Doing anything other than this would be a waste of his talent.

Lin Yu patted Zhao Chu on the shoulder, ”Don’t worry, as my task objective, I’ll protect you well.

Plus, our game is quite humane. Players can’t attack each other or plot against one another, so you only need to guard against NPCs.”

Lin Yu quite liked this newcomer, feeling much better encountering someone who brings joy in-game, especially compared to those newcomers who refuse to accept reality.

For instance, the woman still arguing with Chen Fei, insisting he return her, rummaging her phone, and clamoring to call the police.

Miao Shuangshuang glanced at her task target Xiao Zhongjing, who looked completely wary, staying far from everyone. Judging by his expression, he likely didn’t believe a word of what Miao Shuangshuang and Lin Yu were saying.

He probably thinks that Miao Shuangshuang and the others are either kidnappers or lunatics escaped from a mental asylum.

While the notion of dying only to cross into a horror game world is hard for any sane person to accept, stubbornly refusing to believe others can be quite infuriating.

No one knows when the game will begin, and if he remains uncooperative once it starts, even veteran players might be dragged down and die.

For Xiao Zhongjing to accept reality sooner rather than later, Miao Shuangshuang could only address him directly, ”Xiao Zhongjing, right? Being a big star, there’s no need for an introduction.

The world we’re in now is a horror game universe, and we’re all players. Our sole task is to survive this game to exchange for survival time in the real world.

I know it’s hard for you to believe us, but everyone who enters this game is already dead in the real world.”

”Think carefully, and you should remember that you’ve died. Isn’t it bizarre to be here even after death?”

Miao Shuangshuang thought well, even if someone temporarily forgot about their death due to trauma, a reminder should help them recall it.”

However, Miao Shuangshuang was proved wrong this time, as Xiao Zhongjing eyed her like she was insane, ”What nonsense! I was simply drinking water at the film set and took a nap.”

”I’m not dead. Even if you’re making it up, come up with a better lie. You think I’d believe such a ridiculous story?”

Miao Shuangshuang: ”...”

How unfortunate to encounter someone murdered, someone who died abnormally unaware of their own death, naturally unable to recall dying once.”

In the end, Miao Shuangshuang lost her patience. It’s not a big deal if the task fails, there’s no penalty anyway.

She simply pointed around the setting, telling Xiao Zhongjing, ”If you believe waking up in this place is normal, then I’ll leave you be, believe whatever you want.”

Lin Yu sympathetically looked at the frustrated Miao Shuangshuang, feeling lucky herself for encountering a cooperative newbie.”

Actually, Miao Shuangshuang’s situation was relatively better. At least Xiao Zhongjing, although distrustful, wasn’t making a fuss. Chen Fei’s side was truly bothersome, with the woman continuously making noises, still unsure of her name even now.”
