Chapter 1 Wild Grass

"Have you found him?"

"I can't find it! He is invisible!"

"Wow! This guy escaped so fast.

"If he runs into the forest, we won't have a chance."

Several players searched for their targets by the river.

"You just said...Forest? Ah! I know where he has gone!"

One of the players seemed to remember something and ran in the direction of the field.

Mancao found a path behind a residential hut, and she walked along the path. On both sides of the path are endless and dark forests, and there are many small mushrooms growing in the shadows. The thick leaves cover the sky, and occasionally light shines on the path through the cracks in the leaves.

At the end of the path is a field. On both sides of the road in the field, the weeds are clinging together, and the grass is still holding the undyled dewdrops, quietly waiting for passers-by to go.

Mancao was stunned when he saw this scene. If there is an overlap between reality and the game, then the scene in front of her at this moment is what she has imagined countless times...

"Uh..." A force of gravity pushed the grass to the ground. She hurriedly opened her eyes and looked around. Strangely, she was the only one in this field.

She thought to herself: Did she meet an invisible player?

As Mancao thought, there was an empty position around her, and suddenly there was one more person.

"I saw him!" A man's voice came not far away.

"Wow!" The man who fell beside Mancao quickly lowered his head and opened the skill bar and item bar. When he recognized his current situation, he showed an anxious expression.

"Your stealth skill is cooling down. Have you run out of stealth potion?" Mancao is extremely familiar with the scene in front of him.

The man looked at the grass in surprise.

"It depends on where you are going this time!" The men who followed the man blocked the way back to the forest. The forest is surrounded by stone walls made of stones, and the only way to the forest is the path when the grass comes.

Mancao remembered what the master said in another game. He said that at first glance, these two games are two different games, but there are many... Secrets that you will never know if you don't take the initiative to look for them. For example, their maps have something in common.

When Mancao hides from those pursuers in that world, he is always saved by the tips taught by the master at the critical moment. And that trick is one unknown basement and dark room after another.

However, once caught in these basements and dark rooms, there is little chance of escaping. Either he was caught in a urn by the other party, or he stayed in it for too long and was found by the guard when he wanted to go out to explore the situation.

"Come with me." Mancao said this to the man and got up and ran on the field road. She clicked on the map, reduced the ratio, and recalled all the maps in another game for comparison.

The man looked at the running grass blankly. Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, he still chose to follow her.

Mancao found the map that best matches the novice village from her memory. As her master said, the maps of the two games do have something in common. At the same coordinates, there are the same buildings, just a change of style.

Is this deliberately arranged by the game company, or is it cutting corners?

If the two games really have the same basement and dark room, then... there must be a place to hide in the mill in front of you.

Mancao took the man into the mill, blocked the door with wooden bolts, and began to find the entrance to the basement on the ground. Mancao is really grateful to Master for her teaching her when she is running for her life.

The man looked in surprise at the place where Mancao groped for a basement entrance appeared out of thin air, and then she tried to open it over and over again.

"What are you doing?" The man couldn't help asking.

"Into the basement."

"Why did you save me?"

"Because you don't want to die." Even if a few days have passed, Mancao will still recall again and again that he was chased again and again in the original game. At first, it was just hostile, then it was a passer-by, and finally... it was a trusted friend.

"You will regret that you saved me."

"It doesn't matter." Mancao saved him as if he wanted to save himself at the beginning. Looking at him, she will think of herself who is helpless and abandoned by the world. She just wants to make herself feel better and make those guys who like to chase and kill others unhappy. Although in that world, no one helped her. But she will not ignore the people she faces the same thing because of this.

"..."

"..."

Mancao opened the basement, but the two had an argument about who would go first.

"They are chasing you. Get in."

"You are a woman. Go in first."

"These days, men and women are the same."

"It's different. Men should protect women."

"Can you get in or not? A man still has so many words."

"If you go in, I will go in."

"Will you close the door of the basement?"

"..."

Mancao watched the man go down the stairs to the basement, and then he was relieved. If she doesn't do this, how can she trick him into the basement? The door of the mill has been photographed by those people and is about to fall out. When Mancao heard the sound of weapons smashing the door and saw that the door was about to die, she knew that there was always a price to pay to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds.

"Don't go online in the next few days." She left this sentence and quickly closed the door of the basement. Mancao watched the door of the basement disappear because it was closed.

The door on this side is closed, but the door on that side is open.

The grass will naturally be afraid. But don't you know that there is something in the world called "novice protection"?

Yes, novice protection is such a cute system that "novices can't be attacked by players, and they won't lose experience and equipment durability if they are killed by monsters".

Mancao suddenly felt that although she had only been in this game for a short time, she had experienced something very thrilling. It's like picking up a chased child by the roadside, then throwing him in the basement, leaving himself alone to face a group of guys who just want to kill, and this group of guys have no choice but to enjoy the protection of a novice... Really, it's unexpected.

It's so exciting and fun...

As soon as this idea came to Mancao's mind, she immediately stroked her forehead. I can't help thinking: I'm so bad!

Several male players beside him looked at Mancao, who giggled and sometimes painfully, and didn't want to come forward to talk to her. I heard that fools are contagious.

Mancao easily escaped from the male players and left the mill. And before leaving the mill, he said a few words loudly to the male players, implying that the man was safe and let him stay in the basement.

Mancao was very happy to save a person who was hunted down, and at the same time, he did not take this meeting to heart.

Naturally, she would not have thought that someone would use "View Nearby Players" to remember her name.
