Chapter 323 Violating the Rules Means Death
Chapter 323 Violating the Rules Means Death
The boundaries between the three rules are very blurry.
Once inside the instance, communication is disabled, just like in the "Pig God Village" instance; you can only view leaderboards and elimination messages in the world chat.
The Jiang family wanted to climb over the wall to leave the school, but Rule Two made her hesitate for a moment. Protecting the people in the city sounded reasonable.
However, she was only at the Qi Refining stage. Just like in the ordinary world, this instance world also had its own rules, laws, and morality. Obviously, her act of killing was not recognized or understood by them.
Before the infected person is confirmed to be a zombie and to endanger the lives of all humanity, everything Jiang He does will make him appear as an alien killer.
With that thought in mind, Jiang He climbed over the wall and left the school.
At the same time, Wanqi Ziye and several other cultivators from the school who had entered the instance also chose to leave the school.
The hidden dungeon has been opened, and most of the cultivators from the four major academies have been drawn into it, as have cultivators from many other academies.
Without exception, everyone has a brand new identity in the instance. Some cultivators are better off and can sense the spiritual veins. If they cultivate again and break through to the Qi Refining stage, their martial power will greatly increase, which can improve their survival rate in this instance.
However, half of the cultivators could not sense any spiritual veins at all, and were completely no different from ordinary people.
After reading through the rules, Ji Jia felt extremely irritated, as his body was devoid of any spiritual energy.
Upon entering the instance, Ji Jia found himself on a street filled with strangely slow-moving figures. After a few steps, one of them rammed straight into him. Ji Jia, quick-tempered, was filled with rage.
"Don't you watch where you're going? Where are your eyes?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the person who bumped into Ji Jia looked up and bit his arm.
Pain struck. Already confused about the rules and having lost his cultivation, he was now inexplicably bitten. Ji Jia grew increasingly furious.
"Didn't your mother teach you that if you bump into someone, you should say sorry and apologize to me?!"
Ji Jia clutched his bitten arm, feeling a numb and slightly painful sensation. When he looked up and saw the person in front of him, he realized that the person who had bumped into him was not a person at all, but a walking corpse!
The man who bit people had pieces missing from his body, his face was dry and shrunken, and his eyes had no pupils; his entire eyeballs were covered in white, making him look eerily frightening.
The street was dark, and it was difficult to see his wounds without careful observation.
At that moment, the staggering zombie opened its mouth and was about to attack Jiga again.
The pain from the bite intensified, and Ji Jia glanced at his hand to see green blood oozing from the wound. His head throbbed with pain, and for a moment, everything went black. Before losing consciousness, Ji Jia heard a woman's voice:
"Player Ji Jia has violated the rules and will be punished soon."
After the woman's voice, Ji Jia regained consciousness in the hall. He took off his helmet, his face showing anger.
"The punishment is a death penalty. The rules are so vague. Violating the rules will result in death and elimination. Can't you write it out more clearly?"
Ji Jia was furious. He never expected to die as soon as he entered the dungeon, and be eliminated so easily.
After the rules were announced, netizens watched helplessly as all sorts of cultivators were eliminated for violating or not following the rules.
Being eliminated after being attacked and injured by zombies, being eliminated after killing one's boss, being eliminated after pushing a classmate into a horde of zombies... These are truly creative ways to court death! After watching the live stream for so long, I've realized that sometimes I unconsciously break the rules.
Is the punishment this severe? Direct elimination? This university competition has gone too far!
Yeah, killing someone or getting bitten by a zombie will get you eliminated, it feels really unfair.
Furthermore, I discovered that all the cultivators entering the instance had completely changed bodies; if it weren't for the name prompts in the chat, I wouldn't have known who was who at all.
That sounds so exciting! What if we met and didn't even recognize each other's university? It'd be like a giant werewolf game!
Wow, what a novel idea! I'm suddenly looking forward to all the cultivators meeting; it feels like they're recognizing family, hahaha.
It's more like recognizing an enemy.
Could someone please explain the second rule? I don't quite understand it.
Jiang He has killed several people and violated the first rule countless times. Why is she still alive and well? I just don't understand. Last time, everyone else was forbidden from using items, but she could open her inventory. I hate these privileged individuals the most.
: ? ? ? The person who posted this text earlier, please watch this live stream of the dungeon a hundred times. If you don't have a brain, don't talk nonsense. Let me explain. Jiang He can use items obviously because only cultivators can use items in their inventory. So the prerequisite is that you need to have spiritual roots and cultivation to use items when you enter the dungeon.
Secondly, the first rule is indiscriminate killing of innocent people. All those Jiang He killed were virus carriers already infected or about to become zombies. Why not kill them instead of letting them harm other truly innocent humans?
! A powerful figure is approaching! This explanation is quite detailed; it seems that Jiang He, Wan Qi Ziye, and others have all entered the Qi Refining stage.
I'd like to hear explanations of the other rules. Could someone create a separate thread to discuss them?

After reading all the rules, Zhong Liyu quickly ruffled his short hair into a mess, especially when he saw the first rule, which puzzled him:
"The planners are really that kind? They forbid indiscriminate killing. What if I accidentally kill cultivators from other academies? Wouldn't that be breaking the rules? They even encouraged us to kill each other before..."
Zhong Liyu muttered to himself as he turned on his communicator. It wasn't until he saw the information on the world channel that he realized how terrifying the rules were.
