Dorm Duo Survival: What Did You Do to the School Beauty?

Back in his dorm, Lin Yuan immediately locked the door. With nothing else to do, he started browsing the forums.

At this time, the forum gradually became lively.

Having likely explored the Gate of Survival for the first time and returned to their dormitories, many players began to complain, recounting their experiences.

"Holy crap, you guys know what? Someone started killing people the very first time they entered the survival gate! Could there be a serial killer among the players?!"

"Tch, killing people is nothing. I killed three or four people for a bag of cookies. Look at the situation now, I'll do anything to survive!"

"Can't you all just get along peacefully? This 'survival portal' I went through turns out to be a logistics warehouse, filled with all sorts of things! It's a shame I didn't know that at first. Everyone was hesitant and fearful, wasting so much time. Ugh, it's infuriating!"

"I went into a snack supermarket. There was a lot of food inside, but there were just too many players. Each team could only loot a little, and we couldn't get much at all. I even got into a fight with some other players. Damn it, they dared to steal my stuff! They're asking for it!"

"I've noticed that everyone's first survival attempt seems to be in a resource-rich area without any danger. All you have to do is scavenge for supplies. It's a pity I didn't know that at the beginning. I wasted too much time carefully exploring. I was so stupid. If I had known that, I could have taken the initiative and gotten all the good stuff."

"That's right. If one team could take all the supplies, we'd be rich. At least we wouldn't be short of supplies for a while, and we wouldn't have to live a frugal life anymore."

......

Seeing the players' complaints, Lin Yuan and An Xin exchanged a smile. Sure enough, most people were constrained by the lack of transparency in the rules, so they failed to gain much benefit in the first resource collection and wasted too much time.

Now they are all belatedly regretting that they didn't figure out the rules sooner, otherwise they could have obtained more resources.

On the other hand, thanks to the game prompts, they snapped up all the resources from the first round, accumulating a large amount of supplies and widening the gap between themselves and the other players.

Now we can eat and drink to our hearts' content, feel completely safe, and don't have to worry about food for the time being!

At this moment, the advantage they had made Lin Yuan feel at ease and very happy. The two of them knew very well that with the help of the game prompts, they would definitely develop better and better, and their advantage would snowball and grow bigger and bigger!

......

After that, Lin Yuan and his companion didn't leave the dormitory. They stayed there browsing the forums and reading other players' experiences of their first Survival Gate adventure.

They had game hints and a better understanding of the survival game than other players, so reading their comments yielded a considerable amount of information...

And just like that, the day passed quickly, and night was about to fall.

The world outside the dormitory, shrouded in mist, was originally daytime, with light shining through the fog, but now, the light is slowly dimming.

Lin Yuan walked to the window, looked outside, and his expression gradually became serious.

As night falls and the light disappears, the mist that shrouds the sky becomes eerie, as if terrifying monsters are lurking within, watching everything with greedy, bloodthirsty eyes, ready to pounce and devour flesh at any moment!

"Lin Yuan! Come quick, the game has updated!"

At that moment, Anxin behind her let out a gasp.

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly went to An Xin's side, looking up at the sign hanging on the Gate of Survival.

All the notification messages about the Gate of Survival that appeared in the morning had disappeared.

A new notification message is emerging!

[Survival night is about to begin!]

The first attack of the night was by—man-eating blood bats!

[Game Hint: Every nightfall marks the beginning of the survival night. Various bloodthirsty monsters will randomly spawn in the fog. These monsters crave the blood and flesh of human players, so they will follow the scent to find each player, thirsting for a bloody feast!]

[Game Tip: When players lack the strength to fight monsters, the dormitory is your only safe zone. It's best not to leave the dormitory after nightfall, otherwise... you'll die a horrible death!]

[Game Tip: The monsters are bloodthirsty and ferocious, and there are many of them, making them difficult to deal with. Players must quickly upgrade the dormitory's defenses or strengthen their own abilities to withstand the attacks and meet the challenges. Please take this seriously!!!]

Damn it! Such important information wasn't given to the players beforehand!

They were about to face the terrifying monsters of Survival Night without any warning!

Upon seeing these game prompts, Lin Yuan's expression changed, and he cursed inwardly. This game was truly fraught with danger; even the dormitory, a safe zone, wasn't 100% safe, and at night, he had to defend against monster attacks.

Most importantly, they didn't even inform the players beforehand about something so crucial...

He could already imagine how miserable the players would be if they were completely unaware of the monsters' attack and had no sense of vigilance whatsoever!

Damn, this survival game is really full of dangers at every turn. If you're not careful, you'll get killed here!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear.

If it weren't for the game's hints, he wouldn't know that there was such a thing as a Survival Night, or that a large number of monsters would attack the dormitory!

Game hints are such a great feature!

"Lin Yuan, the Survival Night event is about to begin. What should we do? Should we post this on the forum to remind the other players?"

Anxin nervously confirmed that the dormitory door was closed, then turned around and asked what she should do.

"Should we remind other players?"

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, then shook his head and said:

"There's no need to do such a thing. We're not saviors, and we have no obligation to spread messages and save people. People's hearts are complicated, especially in today's environment where everyone is in danger. Sometimes, standing up and doing good deeds can actually lead to complaints."

"Even if these players are grateful to us, what good is it to us? A perfunctory thank you is not enough for me. Not getting any benefits is a minor matter; the most important thing is that it exposes our intelligence capabilities, and we might become a target for those with ulterior motives..."

Lin Yuan had no intention of becoming a savior. He was just a selfish ordinary person who only wanted to protect his own life and his peace of mind, and survive in this dangerous game. He didn't want to be some kind of scapegoat to save the world.

Anxin was also very sensible and didn't insist on taking the lead. She nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing her serious expression, Lin Yuan smiled:

"Besides, there are so many players in the game, and there are plenty of hidden talents among them. Maybe someone has already found out the rules of Survival Night and will step forward to inform the other players."

"Let's just focus on ourselves, avoid being the ones to stick our necks out, and not overthink things."
