“…I’ll emphasize once again, the NPCs in this game are completely impossible for newbies like you to contend with! I’ve encountered many newcomers before who tried to pull off fancy maneuvers as soon as they entered the game, thinking they’re the protagonist of this game. Without exception, they all died! If you don’t want to die, then play it safe and be obedient!”
After Qi Chanyang finished speaking sternly, observing the intimidated expressions of the newcomers before him, he felt satisfied.
He wasn’t intentionally trying to intimidate them.
The survival rate of dungeons in the infinite game［Do Not Respond］does not exceed 30%, but newbies have a staggering 90% fatality rate in the first dungeon.
It was the first time that Qi Chanyang had encountered a situation where all the players, except for him, were newcomers. The death rate was skyrocketing.
However, the group of newcomers before him seemed obedient, and this dungeon’s difficulty was only level 1. Perhaps a few more of them could survive this time.
Realizing that he was thinking this way again, Qi Chanyang paused for a moment, with a bitter smile in his heart.
Having already cleared six dungeons, he was well aware of how childish this thought was, but well, people…
Qi Chanyang collected his thoughts and spoke, “I have already finished introducing the basic information of the game. In a little over a minute, we will officially begin the game. Now, let’s start with some self-introductions, everyone.”
In the old elevator, several people looked at each other.
Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit raised his hand first.
“Then let me go first. My name is Sun Miao. I used to work in the company’s finance department, but died suddenly from overwork. I don’t have any special skills, and as you can see from my physique, I’m not good at sports. Please take care of me.”
“Next.”

Qi Chanyang frowned.
The dungeon panel indicated a party size of nine, but there were only eight people in the elevator. There was one missing…
Just then, a voice came from behind Qi Chanyang, saying, “Huh? Are you all introducing yourselves?”
Qi Chanyang turned his head and was momentarily stunned.
Damn! Such a handsome guy!
In the corner, there stood a person who appeared out of nowhere. He were dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, looking like a high school student. His semi-long hair was tied into a small bun at the back of their head. His skin was unnaturally pale, as if he hadn’t seen sunlight for a long time, yet his lips were a bright red color. His eyes were pitch black, strikingly beautiful, with a hint of otherworldliness.
If the dungeon hadn’t started yet, Qi Chanyang would probably have mistaken him for an NPC from a ghost-themed dungeon.
But thinking about what this person had just said, Qi Chanyang furrowed his eyebrows. “What do you mean by ‘Are you all introducing yourselves?’ Didn’t you hear what I just said?”
“I didn’t hear it. I just arrived.”
“How is that possible?” Qi Chanyang said, but then he considered that it could indeed be true. With the person’s striking appearance, it would have been impossible for Qi Chanyang to have missed them if they were already in the elevator.
But don’t all players enter the dungeon at the same time?
Before Qi Chanyang could speak, the elevator, which had been stationary, suddenly plummeted downward.
The system’s notification sound rang out.
【The dungeon has been initiated. Players, please prepare yourselves.】
The number on the elevator quickly changed from 3 to 2, and it was about to become 1. Qi Chanyang had to quickly reiterate his instructions.
“Open the system interface and read the dungeon introduction for yourself. You should already be aware that you have died in the real world and entered this game. As long as you keep clearing dungeons, earning points, you can exchange for a chance to return to the real world. Well, there’s no time… just remember, on the first day of the game, as long as you listen to the NPCs and avoid reckless actions, you should be able to stay alive.”
Ding! The elevator doors opened, and Qi Chanyang glanced at the person.
“What’s your name?”
The excessively beautiful man smiled politely at him, revealing a set of pristine white teeth.
“Jie Fangcheng.”

【Content: For some reason, there is always a strange smell in the Blue Mountain Mental Hospital. Is it the smell of burning corpses?】
【Clearance condition: Survive for three days.】
【This dungeon has a historical survival rate higher than 20% and a relatively low difficulty level. The hint function is not available.】
【Wish you good luck.】
After the elevator doors opened, a doctor wearing a white coat and a mask stood at the entrance, furrowing his brows impatiently.
“Why are you so late?” the doctor said, without bothering to inquire about the reason for their tardiness. He then turned around and led the way ahead.
This is a psychiatric hospital that appears to have been around for some time. The walls are peeling and weathered, giving it the appearance of an ordinary county hospital. However, the difference with a regular hospital is that here you can see locked iron gates just a few steps away.
The sky was dim, and as the doctor took out a key to unlock the iron gate in the corridor, he complained.
“Since it’s your first day here, the cafeteria has saved a meal for you. If you’re late again in the future, you’ll have to figure it out on your own.”
Qi Chanyang quickly responded, “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”
The doctor turned his head to look at him, and only then did Qi Chanyang notice that the doctor’s eyes were unusually large, with very little white, and the black irises almost occupied the entire eye socket.
One of the players couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
The doctor’s eyes shifted slightly, looking at the player who took the cold breath, and sighed regretfully for some unknown reason.
“Walk obediently.”
The group of people passed through two iron gates, and Qi Chanyang silently observed the surrounding environment.
The easternmost end of the corridor was the elevator they had come from. They walked westward, passing several closed doors with signs indicating rooms such as chess room and badminton court.
As they continued walking forward, their field of vision suddenly opened up. On the left, they passed by the security office and arrived at the ground floor lobby. The lobby and the corridor were separated by iron gates. Qi Chanyang glanced to the left and could see a photo of an “Excellent Doctor” displayed in a showcase in the lobby. Next to the showcase, there was a row of crimson slogans that read, “I love the hospital, and the hospital loves me.”
The last character '我' appeared to be dipped in paint excessively, causing the ink to flow down like blood, leaving several horrifying marks on the wall.
As Qi Chanyang continued to gaze at it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He turned his gaze and locked eyes with the security guard in the security office.
The security guard was an elderly man who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies. His hair was grayish-white, and his face was covered in age spots.
But his eyes were also unusually large, appearing to have no eyelids, with only eyeballs filling the eye sockets. At this moment, this horrifying face was pressed against the window, staring fixedly at this group of newly admitted “patients.”
Upon seeing Qi Chanyang and himself locking eyes, the security guard slowly grinned, revealing a mouthful of teeth.
Qi Chanyang averted his gaze.
Continuing forward from the lobby, they arrived at the cafeteria. Inside the cafeteria, there was another locked door without any signage, leaving them unsure of its purpose.
When Qi Chanyang pushed open the cafeteria door, he was momentarily stunned.
In the dilapidated hospital, there was a surprisingly large and clean cafeteria, so spacious that it made one wonder what such a big place was used for.
The cafeteria was extremely spacious, with only a round stainless steel table positioned in the center. Nine individuals dressed in patient gowns were already seated, with an empty chair beside each of them.
Upon hearing the door open, all nine patients simultaneously turned their heads to look at the players entering the room.
As expected, these patients had terrifyingly large eyes. The most timid of them, Lu Xiaoqin, covered her mouth and couldn’t help but burst into tears. The female player standing beside her tightly embraced her.
Several players remained rooted in place, refusing to move forward, whispering among themselves.
“What kind of place is this? Are they all ghosts?”
“Are we going to eat the food they give us later? What are they going to feed us? Human flesh?”
“Look at that one, wearing the patient gown with number nine… Is he constantly laughing at me? What is he laughing about?”
The doctor knocked on the table impatiently and said, “Stop dawdling and take your seats for dinner!”
Qi Chanyang whispered, “If you don’t want to die on the first day, do as he says.”
With that, he walked up to the dining table and sat down next to the NPC wearing patient gown number 1.
As he took his seat, Qi Chanyang caught a glimpse of a figure almost simultaneously taking a seat beside him.
He looked up and saw that, separated by a patient, the player named Jie Fangcheng not only sat down calmly but also greeted the patient next to him.
“Hello, what are we having for dinner tonight?”
The patient next to him was the one who had been laughing constantly, patient number 9. Upon hearing the question, number 9 tilted their head, their neck wobbling as if it was about to fall off the next second.
“We’re having meatballs with tomato soup.”
“Just this?”
Qi Chanyang remained silent.
Number 9 continued to tilt their head and laugh, their head almost twisting 180 degrees, looking at him upside down. The eerie sight sent shivers down one’s spine. They continued speaking, “Meatballs, delicious, all meat.”
“Eating only meat would result in an unbalanced diet, right?”
Qi Chanyang remained silent.
Number 9 replied honestly, “During the day, we have vegetables. For lunch, four dishes.”
“Oh, I see. Hey, what do we have as the staple food? Rice? Can we have more of it? Where can we get more? Are we having rice tomorrow too? Is there any steamed buns?”
Qi Chanyang remained silent.
Sensing that Qi Chanyang had been observing him, Jie Fangcheng, who was engaged in a lively conversation with Number 9, glanced at him and explained, “We’re hungry. We didn’t have a meal before we died.”
Qi Chanyang watched Jie Fangcheng holding the chopsticks and felt that he didn’t seem like someone in a horror game dungeon.
It felt more like he were waiting for a feast.
