2 – Transmigrators Group, Five Seconds GG!

Chen Kang (67): “.”

Wang Ping (66): “. Is this system really so treacherous?”

Wang Ping’s face twitched, his fear growing increasingly intense.

Previously, he had been too naive, thinking the worst-case scenario would just involve some dark and scheming chat group dynamics.

But this chat group wasn’t simply a matter of being dark, it was a matter of life and death!

If he could, he really wanted to take back his words about Earth Online being a crap game.

After all, at least he could survive in that world, even if he was no better than an NPC.

Liu Mei (15): “You think this is the most dangerous part? No! The real danger is right after transmigration, as the teleportation location is completely random. You might end up in midair, in the ocean, or deep in the mountains or forests. The chance of ending up in a town is quite low. Even if you do arrive in a town, it’s not necessarily safe. If you suddenly appear, people might mistake you for a monster. Of course, if you’re lucky, you might be seen as a god or an immortal. But, even so, whether you can survive afterward depends entirely on your intelligence and luck.”

Chen Kang (67): “. Damn it”

Wang Ping was also stunned.

In the past, when he read novels, he longed for transmigration, but this real transmigration was just too treacherous.

Based on the probabilities Liu Mei mentioned, he could understand why the mortality rate for newcomers was so high.

Wu Jun (20): “Ahem, Liu Mei, no need to scare them so much. Actually, every newcomer gets a random ‘cheat’ upon transmigration. Though these cheats aren’t ‘invincible templates,’ they do offer some help, however small.”

Chen Kang: “Really? Surprise.Jpg.”

Watching the excited newcomers, Wang Ping didn’t share their optimism.

After all, if the cheats were really that useful, the death rate wouldn’t be so high.

Liu Mei (15): “What’s the point of comforting them? Even if they’re lucky enough to get a powerful cheat, bad luck at the start can still kill them. Well, I’ve said all I need to say. In the little time left, I advise you to quickly change into comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for physical activity, and stock up on as many compressed biscuits and bottles of mineral water as you can.”

Liu Mei (15): “Of course, if possible, preparing protective gear, firearms, and similar items within half an hour would be best.”

Chen Kang: “. Ah, as an ordinary person, I can only prepare the simplest items. Thanks to all the seniors for your advice, I’ll go prepare food and water right away.”

Wang Ping: “Feeling the same gratitude.”

After leaving those words, Wang Ping hurriedly changed his clothes and shoes, then dragged a trolley case to a nearby convenience store to shop like crazy.

In the end, under the store clerk’s puzzled gaze, Wang Ping filled the entire trolley case.

Returning home, Wang Ping organized some wearable clothes, shoes, and pants, stuffing them into his backpack.

“Time is too tight; there’s really not much I can buy.”

Looking at his trolley case and backpack, Wang Ping smiled bitterly.

If he could, he really wanted to prepare the ‘Four-piece Transmigration Set’ and things like potatoes.

With those items, transmigrating into an ancient-background world would be simply splendid.

“Ding, time’s up, transmigration begins.”

While Wang Ping was feeling helpless, the system’s cold mechanical voice echoed.

Then, Wang Ping was enveloped in a white light and instantly disappeared.

When Wang Ping opened his eyes again, he found himself on a muddy dirt road in a small forest. There were lush green trees around, and the chirping of birds was very pleasant.

Ahead, there was a village with smoke rising from the chimneys, making Wang Ping a bit dazed.

A few seconds later, Wang Ping took a deep breath, finally pulling himself together.

He had really transmigrated.

However, he seemed to be lucky; his transmigration location was good—neither sky nor sea, not even a remote wilderness or a town, but just outside a village.

Nobody noticed his sudden appearance.

This was undoubtedly a relatively good start.

Just as Wang Ping was contemplating whether to go check out the village, the chat group system’s notification sounded abruptly, making Wang Ping stunned.

“Ding, group member Chen Kang (67) has died.”

“???”

Wang Ping was shocked, wondering if he had misheard.

Chen Kang had entered the group at nearly the same time as him.

This meant their transmigration times were about the same.

He had just transmigrated five seconds ago, and Chen Kang was already dead?

This was too absurd.

Immediately, Wang Ping tried thinking about the chat group in his mind.

Instantly, the virtual chat group interface appeared before his eyes.

The group was buzzing with activity.

Liu Mei (15): “Although I had already thought this batch of newcomers wouldn’t survive long, I didn’t expect someone to die in five seconds, breaking the record for the fastest death.”

Wu Jun (20): “A moment of silence, that’s too tragic.”

Zhang Hu (5): “I wonder which world and starting point he transmigrated to, to die so quickly.”

Fang Yun (3): “We’ll find out from the death replay later. By the way, how’s the other newcomer?”

Wang Ping silently watched the chat group.

Good heavens, they even had death replays?

This chat group system was truly ‘considerate.’

Wang Ping (66): “I transmigrated to a muddy forest road, and there’s a small village ahead.”

Fang Yun (3): “Oh, your luck’s quite good.”

Wu Jun (20): “Indeed, among all group members’ starting points, yours is in the top ten.”

Liu Mei (15): “Newbie, although you had a decent start, don’t be careless. Otherwise, you’ll still die. Once, a group member with a similar start ran into the village without any precautions. It turned out to be a goblin village. They roasted him alive; he died horribly.”

Wang Ping: “???”

Good heavens, was it really that horrible?

Getting roasted by goblins!

The dangers after transmigration, truly everywhere.

Wu Jun (20): “Liu Mei is right. After transmigrating, be careful in everything. Even if you meet beings that look human, don’t let your guard down. After all, there are many cases of savages eating people. Even if it’s a normal village, after transmigrating, not to mention here on Earth, mountain villages also distrust outsiders.”

Zhang Hu (5): “Indeed very distrustful. Several group members have met their ends in similar situations.”

Wang Ping (66): “No wonder the survival rate is so low with such dangers. By the way, how did all of you survive?”

Wang Ping was curious about the current situations of the five surviving group members.

Wait, there’s supposed to be five group members, but one has not shown up yet.
