Not long after, six round beads, about the size of tennis balls, appeared in the glass cylinder.

"Wait a minute... could it be Dragon Balls?" Feng Bujue was obviously making a joke, because he understood that if they really were Dragon Balls, the item names wouldn't be "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain, Shadow, Thunder," but rather "One-Star Ball, Two-Star Ball, Three-Star Ball"...

Buzz--

Accompanied by a few strange muffled sounds, the light in the glass cylinder faded away, and the six beads... finally revealed their true appearance.

Feng Bujue immediately opened the game menu and observed them one by one...

The first one was completely transparent, looking like a solid glass ball, but its weight was lighter than paper.

[Name: Qi Jí Rú Fēng (As Swift as the Wind)]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Note: A gem containing the power of wind.]

The second one was azure blue, and no matter which angle you looked at it from, it seemed as if there was liquid flowing inside.

[Name: Qí Xú Rú Lín (As Immobile as the Forest)]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Note: A gem containing the power of rhythm.]

The third one was vermilion like jade, and the bead faintly radiated a warm feeling.

[Name: Qīnlüè Rú Huǒ (As Aggressive as Fire)]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Note: A gem containing the power of fire.]

The fourth one looked like a golden metal ball, but the surface of the gem converged the light, making it look dim and deep.

[Name: Bù Dòng Rú Shān (As Still as the Mountain)]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Note: A gem containing the divine power of immobility.]

The fifth one was as black as ink and as cold as ice. When shaken, a vague shadow faintly emanated from it.

[Name: Nán Zhī Rú Yīn (As Unknowable as Shadow)]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Legendary]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Note: Only the most knowledgeable ancient gods can discern its true nature.]

The sixth one was white with a hint of blue, like a bright lamp.

[Name: Dòng Rú Léitíng (As Fast as Lightning)]
[Type: Other]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Effect: Unknown]
[Note: A gem containing the power of thunder.]

The above six gems were the six side quest rewards that Feng Bujue obtained in the last script—Feng, Lin, Huo, Shan, Yin, Lei.

"Hmm... feels like they'll be useful, but I don't know how to use them..." After Jue-ge finished reading the item descriptions, he put the gems into his knapsack. "And these six things can't be stacked for storage, which means... they'll take up six knapsack slots."

As a result, Jue-ge only had two empty slots left in his knapsack. Fortunately, the [Baer's Everyday Knife] could be attached to his waist; otherwise, his knapsack, which he had just upgraded not long ago, would once again be in a tight spot...

"In any case... I'll just carry them with me for now," Feng Bujue thought to himself. "Anyway... I have [Yi Da], and if I really can't figure out what they're good for, I'll just use these 'Perfect' quality gems as bullets..." He stroked his chin and muttered, "Mud of 'Garbage' quality has the power of a shotgun; Juese Ore of 'Common' quality has more power than a cannonball; by this analogy... aren't these beads comparable to intercontinental missiles..."

While thinking, he had already walked out of the storage room and entered the game store.

In addition to coming here to sell "garbage," Feng Bujue also took a look at the market situation in the auction house.

After this quarter's operation, the auction market of *Thriller Paradise* was basically mature. Overpriced, useless items or expensive junk goods were almost extinct. Of course, there were still a very few people who were persistent in speculation, still holding the mentality of "maybe I can just meet an idiot"... and hanging some high-priced, crappy-attribute equipment in the auction. Obviously, their behavior of giving handling fees to the system was the real idiocy...

Jue-ge only looked for ten minutes, because he didn't find any satisfactory items or equipment, so he left.

After returning to the login space, he contacted Ruoyu. The two chatted for a few words, and then went to Xiao Tan's meeting room together.

…………

Long if there is a book, short if there is no book. (A Chinese saying meaning "to make a long story short.")

A dozen minutes later, the four returned to their login spaces, ready to enter the script.

In order to avoid the suspicion of making up words, the details of Jue-ge's attributes will not be listed here, only the changes after this script...

First of all, his title became [Guì Cè Kuáng Móu (Scheming Madman)], and the title ability was [Liào Shì Rú Shén (Foresightful as a God)].

Secondly, his experience points increased to 1383390046000000, his skill value was 2683, and his game coins were 1530100.

In addition, there were the six gems—Feng, Lin, Huo, Shan, Yin, Lei—in his knapsack; and he had an extra [Baer's Everyday Knife] on his person.

So... next...

[Please select the game mode to join for the team.]

[You have selected Team Survival Mode (Normal), please confirm.]

[Your team is joining Team Survival Mode (Normal), the team size random value has been generated: Six players.]

[Your team has entered the queue and is searching for other ready individuals or teams.]

[Matching complete, coordinating neural connections, script generation in progress...]

[Loading begins, please wait.]

At this moment, the players' eyes went dark and they lost their ability to act.

"Welcome to... Thriller Paradise..." An old, wise voice slowly rang in their ears.

[Loading complete. You are currently in Team Survival Mode (Normal).]

[This mode provides a script introduction and has a chance of appearing side hidden quests and special worldviews.]

[Script clearance reward: Puzzle Card *2.]

[The script introduction will be played soon. The game will start immediately after the playback is complete.]

After the system prompt ended, there was about ten seconds of silence.

Then, in a pitch-black screen, a thin, blurry figure vaguely appeared.

A child's voice rang out, reciting emotionlessly...

[My mother has killed me.
My father ate me.
My brothers and sisters sit beneath the table,
Picking up my bones...
They bury me in the cold marble stones.]

Judging from the figure and voice, the child was still very young. The neutral children's voice made it impossible to determine their gender, and it was unknown whether this child, who received the one-stop service of being killed, eaten, and buried by their family... was male or female.

"《my_mother_has_killed_me》..." When Feng Bujue heard this, he was already thinking about the next step, "Hmm... is the theme of this script nursery rhymes... Although there are only four sentences, the amount of information is quite large. If there are no accidents, the opponents are ghosts or cannibals..."

Just as he was thinking, the opening CG was over...

The script... officially began.
