"Scumbag, I'm going to kill you!"

Just as Lin Wenjue was picking his reward, an angry shout suddenly came from not far away.

Then a person appeared, and with a wave of his hand, several wind blades shot out, aiming to kill one of them.

The targeted person reacted quickly, hurriedly retreating.

Seeing those wind blades still flying towards him, his heart clenched with tension.

"Let's talk this out, I had no choice earlier. You saw yourself, the speed picked up only after you got out of the car. I was hoping to make it into the top ten, and if I did, I could use the reward to compensate you!"

The man under attack looked at the person coming to kill him and anxiously tried to explain.

But the man opposite him listened with no intention of stopping, shooting out more wind blades at him.

"Save that talk for the ghosts!"

Saying that, the man showed no sign of mercy, fully intent on taking the other's life.

The man being chased was also a bit angry at this scene.

But he truly had no grounds for complaining; earlier, he had sped off, leaving the other behind, so it's only natural for the other to seek revenge now.

Thinking of this, he quickly selected his word option and left the dungeon space.

If he stayed any longer, he worried he'd lose his life.

"If you have the guts, don't cross my path again! Otherwise, I swear I'll take your life!"

Seeing the other disappear, the person left in the dungeon space was furious.

Because he was left behind, he lasted less than an hour in the scorching desert and was eliminated.

The heat was unbearable, nearly killing him alive.

This also led to his task failing, docking him 20 attribute points.

Having lost so many attributes, he naturally wanted revenge.

Seeing the commotion, several white lights appeared in the dungeon.

It seemed that some who had left their teammates previously were afraid of revenge and left the dungeon space early.

Zhou Yingting stood aside watching this, shaking his head in secret.

For future dungeon tasks, it's best to go solo whenever possible.

Otherwise, running into such incidents would be a headache.

As those white lights disappeared one by one, several angry shouts could be heard from the crowd.

It seemed they were all targeting the players who abandoned them, wanting to take action but allowing the others to flee first.

.....

"Let's see the word option selection."

Zhou Yingting ignored everyone else around him and turned to look at the word options in front of him.

Word option: Protagonist.

'Effect: You gain the right to choose two word options, and dungeon clear rewards are doubled.'

'Negative effect: After entering a dungeon, the difficulty is automatically elevated to the highest level, and your family and friends are plagued by disasters.'

...What kind of orphan word option is this?

Seeing this first word option, Zhou Yingting immediately frowned.

This truly is an orphan word option; being plagued by disasters means your family and friends are almost sure to die.

As for dungeon difficulty going up to the highest level, that's even more outrageous.

If he were to enter the Battle of the Abyss, it would force him to choose the highest difficulty challenge.

For dungeon difficulties, most people choose the easiest one available.

No one wants to challenge a dungeon at the highest difficulty level.

"The protagonist word option can be paired with the orphan word option + administrator word option, removing family and friend status and gaining administrator status for extra dungeon authority."

Is it only with the orphan word option + administrator word option that you can cancel out a protagonist word option's negative effect?

Zhou Yingting considered the solution provided by the Golden Finger and decided to exclude this word option.

If he chose this word option, his aunt and cousin wouldn't last a few days before some disaster claimed their lives.

Moreover, if he could avoid it, he should steer clear of encountering people with the protagonist word option in future dungeons.

Such people are too dangerous, and entering a dungeon with them means the dungeon is at top-level difficulty.

Word option: Mercenary.

'Effect: Doing tasks for others can earn you Blood Gold as a reward.'

'Negative effect: This word option cannot be hidden. When someone offers Blood Gold and demands your service, you cannot refuse.'

"The mercenary word option can be paired with the need more money word option, allowing you to increase the price when someone offers money for your service, making them think twice."

"An unhidden word option is probably similar to the commander one. When using the commander word option, others can see it, and it clearly states they should target me for a beheading."

"This mercenary word option should be similar, appearing above your head without concealment, with special notes indicating Blood Gold can be used for hiring."

Looking at the word option in front of him, Zhou Yingting guessed internally, roughly understanding the nature of this option.

"But how much Blood Gold must someone offer me for me to be unable to refuse?"

Zhou Yingting pondered over this word option, "And also, this profession is purely for earning Blood Gold, it doesn't seem to provide any other attribute bonuses."

After thinking, Zhou Yingting turned his attention to the third word option.

Magic word option: Stepping on Air.

'Using this magic word option, you can walk on air, consuming 25 points of Spiritual Power per second.'

"Stepping on Air? Chosen!"

Seeing this word option appear, Zhou Yingting's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he selected it directly.
