"Doctor, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with my eyes?"
Zhou Yingting sat on the chair, looking at the doctor in front of him and asked seriously.
The doctor glanced at the examination report in his hand, then looked up at the patient in front of him and shook his head, "There’s indeed nothing wrong."
"But my eyes did see something real."
Zhou Yingting’s expression turned a bit strange. If it wasn’t an issue with his eyes, did he really see something others couldn’t?
"It’s probably because you’re under too much stress."
The doctor thought for a moment and concluded it was likely due to the patient’s stress.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yingting nodded and left the hospital after thanking the doctor.
Zhou Yingting walked out of the hospital, looked up at the sky, and immediately saw several large words hovering above.
Countdown: 15 days 1 hour 23 minutes 21 seconds.
A-level Survival Team Dungeon, fifty thousand participants selected, 98% death rate.
Seeing the large words in the sky, Zhou Yingting turned around and saw his reflection in a mirror behind him.
Surprisingly, above his head, there was the same countdown as in the sky.
"Is this really caused by stress?"
Zhou Yingting looked at the countdown in the mirror and sighed deeply.
In the city, he had already seen many people with the same countdown, but none of these people could see the countdown.
It seemed that only he could see it.
If it was merely due to stress, that’d be fine. But if not, were he to enter this so-called survival dungeon with a death rate of 98%, Zhou Yingting didn’t think he could survive.
But the question was, was what he saw real?
Sighing in his heart, Zhou Yingting arrived at a bus stop, and upon seeing the 177 bus in the distance, he didn’t hesitate, waiting for the bus to stop, then scanned the code to get on.
Sitting down, Zhou Yingting picked up his phone, ready to be absorbed in it.
The bus doors made a light sound as they closed and drove forward swiftly.
"Wait, isn’t this the 133 bus? Why didn’t I see my intended stop?"
"No, you got on the wrong bus, this is the 122 bus!"
"What 122 bus, this isn’t the 88 bus?"
The bus was instantly in an uproar, and the originally phone-absorbed Zhou Yingting looked up curiously upon hearing these conversations.
133, 122, 88, isn’t this the 177 bus?
Zhou Yingting’s eyes carried a strange look, and just as he was about to ask, he suddenly froze.
He saw in the front, a scrolling screen displaying a note exactly the same as before.
Only, the content on the note had changed.
Seeing the words on the scrolling screen, Zhou Yingting’s pupils contracted sharply.
It appeared, the same phrase as before!
Taking a deep breath as he saw this, Zhou Yingting steadied himself.
And at this moment, a bizarre transformation occurred within the bus the crowd was on.
The interior of the bus, as though aged by countless years, swiftly began to rust all around, and the situation seemed to worsen.
"Finally, we’ve found it, didn’t think we’d actually get it right."
Just as Zhou Yingting was in a state of shock and uncertainty, observing the eerie transformation of the bus, a voice came from behind him.
Listening to the voice, it seemed that the person behind was very familiar with this phenomenon.
Hearing this, Zhou Yingting instinctively turned his head to look behind.
"Do you know what’s happening?"
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yingting quickly asked.
Everything before him was too bizarre, and Zhou Yingting just wanted to quickly understand what exactly was happening.
Upon hearing Zhou Yingting’s question, and with other passengers looking uneasy, a man dressed in black rose slowly.
"Whether you’re lucky or unlucky, you’ve found this bus."
The man in black glanced at everyone who appeared somewhat at a loss and sighed.
"What do you mean? What does lucky mean, and what about unlucky?"
Recalling the phrase he saw in the sky earlier, Zhou Yingting’s heart tightened, and he quickly asked.
While Zhou Yingting was asking, the other people also fell silent. Upon hearing someone knew what this thing was, they listened intently.
"Lucky, it means that by encountering this, you can gain extraordinary power. For instance, having a body of steel, resistant to weapons, or perhaps the ability to fly, miracle elixirs, limitless wealth, all can be obtained here."
The man in black explained to the crowd.
Hearing these words, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
At this moment, a nearby couple exchanged glances and instantly saw excitement in each other’s eyes.
"Could this be some kind of fortuitous encounter?"
A middle-aged man nearby suddenly had a look of joy and couldn’t help but exclaim.
He just heard about the wealth!
Wealth! It’s wealth! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
If he could acquire money, wouldn’t he be able to pay off his mortgage?
Recently he was facing a financial crisis, and if he could achieve instant financial freedom, his crisis would be resolved!
The nearby couple also got excited at this moment, if they had money, they wouldn’t have to worry about wedding expenses!
The people on the bus appeared extremely excited, thinking this might be an opportunity.
And Zhou Yingting was also somewhat excited at this moment. Extraordinary powers... thinking about the description, Zhou Yingting couldn’t help feeling a bit thrilled.
But soon, Zhou Yingting suppressed this trace of excitement.
"But you mentioned the unlucky part, what is that?"
Suppressing his excitement, Zhou Yingting asked calmly.
"Extraordinary powers come from the phrases. When those phrases grant you extraordinary powers, they also impart negative effects from the phrases. Some are deadly, while others, though not, are equally troublesome."
The man in black laughed, "Remember, keep your Spiritual Power above the standard level, otherwise you’ll plunge into madness until you lose your life."
After saying that, the man in black stopped speaking and turned to look ahead.
It seemed as though something in front of him captivated his attention.
Finding this strange, Zhou Yingting wondered what the man meant by keeping his Spiritual Power above the standard level?
While Zhou Yingting was perplexed, he noticed a virtual screen suddenly appearing before him.
On the screen, his personal attribute panel appeared.
