When Gu Wuji regained consciousness, he found himself in the midst of a forest, a backpack on his shoulders and survival gear in tow.

He noticed several others around him, dressed similarly, likely the other participants of this game, totaling around six or seven individuals.

"You are travelers lost in the woods, with no signal on your phones, all your food consumed, and hunger gnawing at your bellies, unable to find a way out."

Checking his phone, Gu Wuji confirmed the absence of any signal, though his battery was surprisingly sufficient.

Then, as if by fate, a dilapidated inn appeared before them, offering a glimmer of hope. They approached it with elevated spirits, unaware of what awaited them inside.

[Main mission: Survive five days within the inn.]

As the system's prompt concluded, everyone began to introduce themselves.

In this group of players, there were no newcomers this time around. Everyone had experience, making the atmosphere much more harmonious. Of course, with their experience, they were no longer as easy to fool as newcomers, each being cautious in their own way.

Among them, because of his outstanding looks, Gu Wujì undoubtedly stood out the most, catching the attention of others, especially female players, who couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Gu Wujì turned his head and, facing those who were looking at him, flashed a commercial smile. "What's up? Need me to sign something?"

Most people thought this guy was a fool. Who would think about getting an autograph in such a dangerous situation, where it was uncertain if they would even survive? Judging by his carefree demeanor, he probably planned to cling to someone to survive the first dungeon.

However, a handsome young man walked over, showing Gu Wujì a friendly smile and handing him a piece of paper. "If you can, please sign this for me."

Gu Wujì graciously signed the autograph, his gaze towards the other person equally friendly, sensing a genuine kindness in him.

"My name is Peng Haocang, I've had experience four or five times already," the handsome young man kindly spoke, "If you don't mind, you can follow me this time."

"Alright." Gu Wujì felt a wave of gratitude wash over him, feeling like he had encountered a genuinely good person.

Despite the recent incident involving Fang Jian, Gu Wujì believed he shouldn't let the actions of one or two individuals tarnish his opinion of others' character.

As others observed this interaction, they couldn't help but feel that Gu Wujì was incredibly fortunate to have encountered such a benevolent helper. A few seemed to recall something, their eyes expressing a hint of sympathy.

The group continued forward together.

Peng Haocang kindly reminded, "Little Gu, as someone quite well-known in the real world, it's best to conceal your identity when entering the virtual world. It'll prevent malicious individuals from targeting you."

Gu Wujì increasingly felt that what Peng Haocang said made a lot of sense, looking at him with gratitude.

Peng Haocang felt somewhat surprised by the grateful look Gu Wujì gave him.

Of course, he wasn't just a good Samaritan. In fact, he was a junior executive of the organization led by Fang Jian.

Because Fang Jian unexpectedly died in such a low-level dungeon without obtaining the intended item, it left the members of their organization quite dissatisfied.
