Chapter 158: Someone Beneath the Tree

"Infinity? What a strange name for a game."
"Doesn't look particularly interesting."
"Chief Bao, you'd better switch to another game."
"Force Me, Teacher's game is actually quite top-notch. You'll know once you play it."
"Yeah, yeah, it's super interesting. Definitely a great tool for making friends; I've already broken out of singlehood thanks to this game."
"Really or fake?"
Seeing Bao De's choice, the viewers watching the livestream spoke up one after another.
Unlike ordinary livestreams, Bao De could not see real-time bullet comments.
He simply proceeded according to the process.
Entering spectator mode.
Bao De immediately sent a message to consult the player currently being watched.
"Hello, I'm Bao De from Gamersky. May I livestream your gameplay process?"
"Someone Under the Tree", who had just entered the game, suddenly heard a voice ringing by his ear.
He was startled at first, thinking some ghostly entity had popped up.
However, he quickly recovered his composure.
He had also watched the gameplay of a few games on Qi-You's livestreams.
Naturally, he knew he had been chosen by the media.
And as for an opportunity to show off like this, "Someone Under the Tree" would certainly not refuse.
Therefore, he agreed on the spot.
"No problem."
"Let's thank this friend named 'Someone Under the Tree'." Having received permission, Bao De said to the audience before asking "Someone Under the Tree":
"Mr. Someone Under the Tree, may I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course."
"Is this your first time playing Infinity, or are you a veteran player?"
"Consider me a veteran; I've already been playing for a few days," Someone Under the Tree answered truthfully.
"Then, if you had to describe this game in one sentence, what would you say?"
"You guys are forcing me to be awesome!"
After answering the initial questions, Bao De switched the main view to the primary screen.
And the formal livestream began.
Someone Under the Tree also received Bao De's message at the same time, instructing him to continue the game.
Seeing this, Someone Under the Tree immediately opened the livestream video in his optical brain.
Watching his own livestream.

The place where he currently was located was a small one-bedroom apartment with very ordinary furniture arrangement.
Most of the bullet comments in the livestream room were asking what the rules of this game were.
And what to do now.
Seeing this, Someone Under the Tree immediately imitated the style of those livestream hosts and replied.
"The mode of this game is to enter various dungeon instances and then clear them to obtain rewards."
"I have already entered a dungeon instance now."
"The mission is simply to survive, divided into three stages: one is to survive for seven days, the second is to survive for half a month, and the last is to survive until after a month."
"In other words, the longer you survive in this mission, the more benefits you gain."
After briefly introducing his current situation, Someone Under the Tree did not know what else to say.
After all, he was not a professional host, and he was not skilled in the business of livestreaming games.
Just as he was feeling somewhat at a loss, Bao De's voice rang in his ear again.
"Leave the commentary to me; just play as you usually do."
Hearing this, Someone Under the Tree nodded.
Then he stopped talking and began to search the room.
This was his second time entering this dungeon instance, and it was also his second dungeon instance overall.
Therefore, he was quite clear about what he needed to do right now.
Without any hesitation, he immediately began rummaging through the room.
And Bao De, broadcasting outside, began his simultaneous commentary:
"This is a survival-type dungeon instance, so the most urgent task is to clear out the resources you can use."
"Judging by Someone Under the Tree's proficient movements, he is obviously no stranger to this dungeon."
"He has come to the kitchen. There should be a lot of food in the refrigerator... Unfortunately, our brother's luck isn't very good. Such a big refrigerator has only a single apple. This amount of resources truly marks him as an African non-European player."
Bao De joked when he saw Someone Under the Tree open the refrigerator with a bewildered expression.
"Chief Bao is way too savage."
"Pouring one-half second of heartache for Someone Under the Tree."
"Why does this game look a bit like a single-player game? Feels rather dull and tasteless."
"It's not single-player. I've played this dungeon before. There are other players in this building, and they are in a state of competing with one another."
"Let's keep watching. If it's really interesting, I'll go play it too."
The viewers in the livestream room expressed their respective opinions.
Meanwhile, the livestreamed "Someone Under the Tree" quickly searched the entire room thoroughly.
The total time spent was less than twenty minutes, since the room wasn't very large.
His harvest, judging by his expression, wasn't particularly good.
After searching the entire room, he only found a few items of food.

An apple, a piece of chocolate, one pound of rice, and a piece of frozen cured sausage.
It looked okay, but compared to his previous run, it was far worse.
Last time, he walked straight into a refrigerator full of food, but this time he had at most three days' worth of rations.
Fortunately, though food was scarce, mechanical items were more plentiful.
A set of keys, three AAA batteries, a radio, a magnifying glass, a toolbox, a five-meter-long hemp rope, and a utility knife.
Someone Under the Tree immediately opened the toolbox to inspect it.
A set of screwdrivers, two packs of nails, a wrench, a hammer, and a roll of electrical tape.
"Good, good."
Seeing so many tools, Someone Under the Tree let out a sigh of relief.
If there really had been only that tiny bit of food, it truly would have been a hellish start.
Putting the toolbox away,
Someone Under the Tree immediately picked up the utility knife and the keys and walked toward the outside.
Having experience, he knew he had to race against time and seize the opportunity to snatch more resources before other players reacted.
Opening the door, a corridor lay ahead.
This was a small residential building with four households on each floor and doors facing each other.
Someone Under the Tree glanced out the corridor window, and an apocalyptic scene greeted his eyes.
The external sky was obscured by dark clouds.
Fires emitting rolling black clouds of smoke were everywhere on the ground.
Cries of weeping, cursing, and screaming merged into one.
Countless human beings soaked in blood wandered aimlessly below.
These were creatures known as zombies.
They were formed from humans infected by a mutated virus.
They possessed an extremely strong desire to attack, feared no death, and had immense strength.
Furthermore, as long as one was wounded by them, one would turn into a zombie just like them, thereby ending the entire game.
It was manageable in the early stages of this dungeon; having food allowed one to cower in a room for a while.
However, cowering like that had no future and could at best yield the lowest-tier reward.
Grade-F Reincarnation Chest
According to incomplete statistics from players in the comment section, the probability of getting mineral water or spicy snack strips was as high as eighty percent.
Truly opening it to absolute nothingness.
