I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

Li Wei slapped Liu Yiqiang on the head.

Liu Yiqiang asked, puzzled, "Brother, why did you hit me? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"

After realizing he had been assigned the role of a junior subordinate, Liu Yiqiang, who had been behaving well, was puzzled. Had he made a mistake without paying attention?

"Oh, no, I just saw them playing so well and wanted to try it out too."

"Hmm, it feels pretty good."

Liu Yiqiang: QAQ

----------

"You mean, this F/Z dungeon incorporates elements from online games?"

Kongse asked.

Li Wei nodded. "That's right. If you observe carefully, you'll find that the people here basically only say a few fixed lines."

"That's it?"

Li Wei shook his head. "Not only that, if you try to touch those girls' breasts, you'll find that as soon as you rub them, they react very strongly."

"How can this be."

Li Wei scoffed, "If it were a normal girl with my looks and skills, she would just be crying and begging me to take her down. Only an idiotic AI system would do that."

"Yes, yes, with Master's extraordinary charm, even boys would be captivated and turn into adorable boys!"

"But I'm so sad! Master, you actually went to push down those weak girls who couldn't even sink a continent, but you didn't push me down!"

"I'm so heartbroken!"

"Do you think that kind of weak girl can withstand the torment of a master as fierce as you?"

Li Wei's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but tap Qi Xi on the forehead.

"Mmm~"

Having become quite adept at this, Kongse chose to ignore the two and asked, "So what should we do now?"

Li Wei gave Kong Se a disdainful look. "Idiot! Xiao Qiang, tell her what we're going to do!"

"Yes!"

Liu Yiqiang immediately stood at attention and said, "Our first step is to follow our elder brother's orders!"

"..."

Li Wei rubbed his forehead and said, "Since it's like an online game, we should be in a place like the newbie village right now."

Upon hearing this, Kongse's eyes lit up: "So, we need to get out of here first? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go! When it comes to speed, I'm fast. Basically, no one in Class S can beat me."

Qi Xi silently held up a sign with a pig's head on it. "Master is so stupid. I regret it. Can this guy really be used as cannon fodder?"

Kong Se's face stiffened.

Li Wei rolled his eyes at her. "If we could get out of here, we would have left long ago and come back to wait for you."

"So you were planning to abandon me all by yourself!"

"Tell me, what good are you besides running fast?!"

Kongse snapped, "Can you please erase my only redeeming quality?"

Qi Xi turned to look at Li Wei and said, "Master, she admitted it."

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

"Alright, stop yelling. We're talking about something serious, why do you always go off-topic?"

"..."

Seeing that Kongse had shut up with a deathly pale face, Li Wei continued, "If we can leave, we will. If you leave the area where we entered the instance and are within a certain range, you will find that we will return to the initial location."

"In other words, if we can't find a way out, we'll be stuck here until this instance ends."

Kongse was dumbfounded. "No way, even if we run as fast as we can, we can't get out."

"nonsense!"

"Then what do we do?"

"Find a breakthrough," Li Wei said speechlessly.

"How do we find the problem?"

Li Wei sighed, "As I just said, the people here should be controlled by the system's AI, but the system won't give us such a completely idiotic and unsolvable instance."

"In other words, the breakthrough point is the difference."

Seeing Kong Se's seemingly confused expression, Li Wei continued, "To put it simply, we need to see which NPCs behave differently. If we can find NPCs that are distinguishable, things will be much easier."

"As long as we can trigger the quest and complete the specified tasks, we should be able to leave this starting village."

"Logically speaking, I guess the academy would find it very difficult just to trigger the mission in order to select truly outstanding students."

Li Wei said seriously, "Otherwise, how can the academy test students' observation and thinking abilities?"

As he spoke, Li Wei sighed again, "I'm afraid it will take a long time just to find this NPC, but fortunately this starting village isn't very big, we can walk around it in half a day."

Kongse's eyes lit up at the suggestion. Running errands? That was exactly her forte!

So she volunteered: "Heh heh, this is my specialty!"

Li Wei looked at her distrustfully and said, "You? Give me a break."

Kongse said angrily, "You look down on me? I'm still in Class S, you just wait, I'll show you what I'm capable of right now."

After saying that, Kong Se vanished in a flash.

This is her speed ability, activated.

“Master, see, I was right.” Qi Xi suddenly said.

Li Wei took out two beanbag chairs from his spatial backpack, and he and Qi Xi each took one and lay down.

"Yeah, they're pretty easy to fool."

------------

Three days later, Kongse ran back, covered in sweat, and exclaimed with delight, "I found it! An old man just gave me a mission!"

Li Wei and Qi Xi both showed expressions of surprise at the same time.

"No way, I really underestimated you."

Qi Xi also said with admiration, "Kong Se, you're amazing!"

Seeing the looks in Li Wei and Qi Xi's eyes for the first time, Kong Se immediately felt that her three days of hard work had not been in vain.

God knows how much she talked and how far she traveled in order to find this so-called breakthrough.

Running fast has its advantages!

Led by Kongse, the group soon arrived at a large mansion with an ancient style.

After speaking to a skeleton butler, the four were led to a realistic hall to wait.

A few minutes later, an old monk with a shaved head and wearing a kasaya came out.

Looking at the somewhat familiar appearance, and thinking of the skeleton butler, Li Wei and Qi Xi turned their heads to stare at Kong Se at the same time.

"It seems you've been running for a long time?"

"Yes, yes, but with my abilities, I finished the round trip very quickly."

"So, you spend most of your time observing and exhausting yourself trying to get information out of this NPC before you realize something's wrong with him?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Kongse asked, somewhat puzzled.

Before Li Wei could answer, the old monk spoke.

"Greetings, gentlemen. I am the former head of the Matou family. I heard you are willing to help?"

Hey……

Li Wei and Qi Xi both sighed at the same time.

Three days have passed just like that.

"Yes, is there something you need?"

“It’s like this,” the old Matou family patriarch said with distress, “I don’t know why, but recently my wife seems to be in a bad mood. No matter how I ask her, she refuses to answer me.”

"So I hope you can help me think of a way to please my wife."

"Ding!"

"Triggering the quest - Leaving the starting village."

"Mission details: The Matou family patriarch is currently very troubled by his wife's situation and hopes that the reincarnators can help solve the problem. According to reliable sources, Matou's wife has a strong interest in slime, tentacle monster tentacles, and vegetables such as eggplant and cucumber."

"Friendly reminder: You need to collect at least 1,000 portions of slime, 300 tentacles, and over 100 kilograms of eggplant and cucumber vegetables to please the lady."

"Quest Reward: Beginner Village Graduation Certificate"

When Kongse received this task, she was dumbfounded.

"How long will this fight last?"

This starting village also has wild monsters, such as slimes and tentacle monsters, which are two of them.

It's not that these two types of monsters are particularly difficult to defeat, but rather that there are very few of them. After searching around, I only saw about a few dozen slimes and three or four tentacle monsters.

"Hey……"

Although she didn't know why Li Wei and Qi Xi seemed disappointed in her just now, Kong Se quickly said in order to prove herself:

"I'll go kill those monsters first. You guys go collect the vegetables. Oh, by the way, there seem to be some gold coin quests to take on in Baker Street. You should be able to raise enough money to buy vegetables in a few days."

After saying that, Kongse hurriedly left.

So what if she doesn't have a good start? She believes that if she's not lucky, she can make up for it with hard work. She can still overtake others from a disadvantaged starting line!

Yes, the currency used for consumption here is also different; it needs to be acquired by the reincarnator in the instance to gain the NPC's approval.

As for forcibly taking things, Li Wei had tried it, but at least in this beginner village, it wasn't a viable method.

Therefore, the large number of coins from various countries and even different eras that Qi Xi had prepared suddenly became useless.

Even gold, which should have been a widely used commodity, has lost its effectiveness.

Therefore, if you go to the place that Kongse mentioned to farm gold coins, it will probably take several days.

Farming gold coins was alright, and the quest NPC provided by Kongse wasn't too difficult, since Liu Yiqiang had the bonus of the subordinate class, making him incredibly efficient at running errands.

The tiring task was Kongse. Even though she had the speed ability and could find monsters very quickly, she couldn't kill many of the quest monsters after going around once.

According to the game's mechanics, Kongse has to wait for the monsters to respawn, and in order to complete the task as soon as possible, he keeps running around killing them.

That's why Kongse was in such a hurry to leave, and before she could even hear Li Wei calling her back, she had already disappeared.

----------

Five days later, Kong Se arrived with a deathly pale face. At the meeting point agreed upon by the group from the very beginning of the dungeon, she said wearily:

"You should have collected enough gold coins by now, right? I also have a thousand portions of slime and three hundred tentacles in my inventory. Let's go turn in the quest now."

"No need, we have already completed the mission."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Kongse's eyes widened. "You've completed the mission? That's impossible. I've explored this entire starting village. I remember there were no slimes or tentacle monsters to farm in those locations."

Li Wei scoffed and said, "Who said we absolutely need these things?"

"But that's what it says in the mission description."

"You just blindly followed the instructions on how to write the task?" Li Wei said disdainfully.

Qi Xi shook her head as well, "Focus on the key points, the key points."

"The point?"

Kongse seemed to understand, but at the moment, she was more concerned about the mission.

"Is the mission really complete?"
