Is this okay?

Argo, resurrected once more, sat at the Blessing Point, lost in thought. He was filled with grief at the situation; this giant lobster was even more terrifying than the dragon he had encountered before.

The dragon can find gaps to escape, but the giant lobster attacks by exploiting the player's movement, completely dominating the situation.

I'm numb, completely numb.

"Does this mean we don't need to fight here either?"

Argo fell into deep thought, rubbing his chin as he clearly sensed that this thing, like the Tree Guardian, didn't need to fight.

Without hesitation, she went to the location of the giant lobster again, but instead of getting close, she hid in the distance to observe.

"Eh? What is that?"

Argo, with his sharp eyes, noticed something strange approaching the giant lobster group at that moment, and his expression turned strange.

How to describe it? It was like suddenly seeing three wooden crates slowly and neatly approaching the giant lobster, clearly indicating that someone was hiding inside.

"A player? A player hiding in a wooden crate? No way! Is this really possible? How come they haven't been discovered?"

Her eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn't believe a giant lobster would be so stupid as to not notice something.

Then Argo saw three wooden crates stop in front of the three giant lobsters, followed by a green, poisonous fog enveloping the giant lobsters.

Then the giant lobster's health bar started dropping rapidly.

"?"

What are you teasing me?

Argo was filled with questions and completely bewildered by the situation, even wondering if this was actually possible.

Yeah, why don't I hide inside the box and move forward?

For the first time, I was dumbfounded by my own experience... Damn empiricism!

Argo, realizing what had happened, looked utterly dejected. He had just lost so many people; it was as if he had died for nothing.

Look at them, one person with a box, plus a puff of poisonous mist, they poisoned the giant lobster to death without anyone noticing.

What?! The Joker is me!

Chapter 317 Isn't that pool over there quite spacious?

Argo was deeply moved by the sudden appearance of the three boxes and the subsequent series of actions; she felt as if she could unleash a Hadouken.

I even had a feeling of questioning the meaning of life.

Coming to this world, her gaming experience brought her many benefits, but it also caused her a lot of suffering.

But things are different now; the current situation is like opening the door to a new world for Argo.

That's right, Argo has now completely broken through the framework of game players and become a completely new Argo.

For a moment, she even had an immature idea, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light as she looked at the player in front of her.

Since they are players, they are definitely easier to talk to than others. You can join them with just a little conversation.

It's okay if we fail!

Once you master the wooden box hiding technique, no one in the entire game world, except for those engaged in combat, can stop you.

"hey-hey!"

Argo grinned slyly, his rat-like demeanor perfectly captured.

……

On the other side, Leng Mo, Rodrica, Kayaba Akihiko, and the invisible Melina moved among the giant lobsters without disturbing anyone or letting anyone notice them. They blended in seamlessly like wooden crates floating on a swamp.

Although the wooden crates on the swamp are already quite out of place, it doesn't matter!

The average person in Elden is a StarCraft player, so it doesn't matter!

At this moment, Leng Mo was happily vomiting poison, like a crab blowing bubbles, but as he was vomiting, he suddenly frowned and realized that something was slightly wrong.

"Wait! Something's happened!"

Rodrigo and Kayaba Akihiko shuddered upon hearing this, almost spilling their boxes.

Rodrica was surprised, while Kayaba Akihiko felt phantom pain. He couldn't help but recall his previous suffering, and even felt a fear that something was amiss.

"What happened!"

Kayaba Akihiko, both surprised and cautious, hid in the wooden box and asked Leng Mo, "Everything was fine just now, how did it suddenly go wrong?"

After thinking about it carefully, it seems there are no problems.

He peered through the wooden box at his surroundings, filled with doubt.

and many more! !

Why is there an extra wooden box among us?

In an instant, Kayaba Akihiko sensed something was wrong, and even Rodrika, who was standing next to him, realized that something was amiss. A blood-red exclamation mark even appeared on Leng Mo's box.

Dengdeng!

The wooden crates of Leng Mo and the other two trembled simultaneously as they stared at the blood-red exclamation mark surrounding the suddenly appearing fourth crate.

The box surrounded by people felt a chill run down its spine at a visible speed.

Meanwhile, the giant lobsters around seemed to have sensed something and all stared at the new box, creating an awkward atmosphere.

Why is even a giant lobster looking over here?!

Are you guys acting against me?!

Argo hid in the box, his expression heavy with anxiety, even having the unsettling feeling that the person opposite him might be part of the same group.

Fortunately, the giant lobster was only disturbed by the commotion of Leng Mo and the others. After looking at it for a few seconds, it turned around and continued to lie on the ground, suffering from the poison. However, the three of them were different. They were all staring at Argo's box, ready to do something at any time.

"Who are you! How dare you impersonate our Zhazhong Group!" Leng Mo shouted at Argo in a very impolite manner.

"..."

"..."

Although no one knew why, an indescribable awkwardness filled the air after Leng Mo asked the question.

But it doesn't matter!

Argo is a seasoned fellow, brimming with unprecedented experience.

"Big brother! We're on the same side!"

Deng!

Danger! .JPG

For some reason, the moment Argo mentioned his own people, an unprecedented sense of crisis arose within him.

Did I say something wrong?

Shouldn't we be talking about our own people at this time?

Is there something wrong with one of our own people?

Argo didn't understand, she just felt the coldness and numbness in her legs as she squatted in the pool.

"Ha! One of us? You dare to call yourself one of us!"

Leng Mo retorted without any politeness, his tone filled with disdain and arrogance.

"One of our own? What right does this guy who just popped up out of nowhere have to call himself one of us?"

Unworthy! Don't you even look down at your own reflection in the water? Do you think just anyone can be one of us, the strange and cold ones?

I will refuse with all my might!

If you still insist on joining despite my repeated rejections, then don't blame me for being ruthless. After all, this is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with us!

At that point, there's no escaping it no matter what!

Hohohohohoho!

"No, we're all players, let's help each other!" Argo quickly said, afraid that the other side would suddenly flip his box over, which would be incredibly painful.

"Oh? A player, huh? Impressive. I see most players are still suffering terribly in Ereshkigal, right? The fact that you've made it this far means you must be really skilled!"

"Don't even mention it... I died my way through, trying to avoid fighting whenever possible, but then I ran into this giant lobster blocking my way." Argo felt like he was going to cry if he kept talking about it; the journey had been incredibly difficult.

"So why did you fight with the giant lobster?" Leng Mo was a little puzzled, since it was something that could be bypassed.

"I need to go explore the map?" Argo was a little confused and didn't understand what Leng Mo meant.

"Wait... why are you fighting a giant lobster while exploring the map?"

"Isn't this blocking the way?"

"Since you can't beat them, why don't you go around? Isn't that pool over there spacious? And there aren't any monsters there."

"What???"

"You do not know?"

"That's unethical!"

"??"

"??"

For a moment, Leng Mo and Argo fell into a brief silence, as did Rodrika and Kayaba Akihiko who were standing nearby.

Argo suddenly had a feeling of 'What! I'm the idiot!'

She cried again, overwhelmed by her own stupidity.

Yeah, if I can't beat them either way, why don't I try to take a different route?

If I had just taken a different approach, I wouldn't be in so much pain...

Why? Why didn't I think of that?

Good heavens! How could I be so stupid!

I'm angry, but there's nothing I can do!

Even more angry!

Ugh! I'm so annoyed!

Now, the boxes belonging to Leng Mo, Rodrika, and Kayaba Akihiko exuded an aura of care for intellectually disabled children, which made Argo even more distressed.

"Let's not talk about that! Where did you find your poisonous fog? Can I learn how to use it?"

Argo pretended not to know anything and changed the subject by asking a question.

"You want to learn?" Leng Mo asked expectantly.

"Yes, I want to learn!" Argo nodded, then added, "I can tell you all the information I've gathered in exchange for you teaching me how to use the poison mist."

"I think we can discuss this in detail."

"Okay! How do we discuss this?"

Let me introduce myself first.

"I am Argo, a beta tester, and an intelligence broker known as the Rat."

"It turns out to be you!"

"Hehe, look how famous I am."

Argo breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Leng Mo, feeling that they could talk.

Chapter 318 Can't this just log off!

"So what do you want from us?" Leng Mo understood the situation after learning that it was Argo, but he couldn't just reveal their purpose directly, that would be rather awkward, wouldn't it?

"You didn't see how easily we defeat monsters, so you came here wanting to learn our methods, and then plan to clear the levels on your own, sharing all your information about the game with other players so everyone has something to look forward to?"

"..."

Argo was stunned when he heard Leng Mo's words. Wasn't this exactly what he was doing?

What's going on? How do you know?

Are you following me?
