Theoretically speaking, as long as Gu Mian is here, other dangers are not really dangerous.

But it seems Gu Mian didn’t bring his best buddy today.

Keke glanced behind Gu Mian as she pondered; the guitar bag wasn’t there.

When the instance was triggered, Fatty had just shaken Gu Mian awake from bed; he didn’t have the habit of sleeping with a chainsaw, so the chainsaw didn’t make it into the instance.

Fatty also noticed this, but he remained confident: "No worries, our doctor can tear ghosts apart barehanded."

Talking about it, he pressed his finger against his chin thoughtfully: "I always feel like the doctor has become indispensable to everyone, just like when you’re at home and facing something you can’t deal with, you’d yell ’Mom!’, but in the instance, when you encounter something you can’t handle, you can yell ’Doctor!’"

At this point, Fatty suddenly remembered he didn’t have a mom, and fell silent.

It’s not just Fatty; among the five present here, it seems only 007 isn’t an orphan.

Fatty awkwardly changed the topic: "Let’s discuss how to allocate these five greenhouses first."

Gu Mian had his eye on the Jinche Room early on: "I want that hidden one."

The Jinche Room stood out compared to the other greenhouses; he now didn’t know why the Evil God placed him in this instance, so he decided to search the unique Jinche Room first to see if any clues could be found.

"Well, I actually think, Doctor, you should want those three that have a big increase, but with that, we won’t be able to stay in a greenhouse with you." Fatty thought seriously, after all not everyone can withstand such big increases.

"How about the four of us go together to the... Detachment Room?" Fatty looked at the other three.

For Fatty’s verbal mistake, the others no longer wanted to correct him.

looked at the door of the Detachment Room: "Detachment, detachment... I think I know why the Detachment Room’s boost is so good."

"Why?" Fatty asked curiously, as did the others.

"Because there’s a price," 007 said, "Detachment means separating the car axle from the wheel, the separation of two things originally inseparable, implying betrayal."

Fatty was shocked: "Does it mean if we enter that changing room, we’ll turn against each other?"

Gu Mian covered his forehead; in just two minutes, the Detachment Room already had three names.

"No," 007 shook her head, "It’s before you even go in that you’ll turn against each other."

After coming out of the Paradise World, she seemed to have grasped many things.

"Just like the contestants in this show’s Paradise World; to get a higher ranking, they’ll unhesitatingly eliminate others competing with them. Everyone wants first place. And players entering this instance want the safest, easiest Detachment Room;

"Facing life-threatening dangers, to survive no one will concede, everyone will pull out all the stops, even turning against one another when necessary; that’s the meaning of the Detachment Room’s name."

Fatty pondered: "Normally, only one person can enter each greenhouse, so indeed, everyone will fight over the safest greenhouse."

Then his tone changed: "Luckily, the doctor avoided the possibility of us turning against each other, now the four of us can camp inside without any issue, look, that NPC doesn’t even dare say a word."

Gu Mian didn’t expect he had this effect, seems he really chose the right profession.

At this moment, the "NPC who dared not say a word" beside them was boiling with rage inside, but outwardly he had to remain calm.

Not knowing what expression to make, he could only awkwardly chuckle twice, the laughter akin to a duck hiccuping.

Now Keke proposed a phase suggestion: "Actually we don’t need to plant seeds; look at the introduction plaques of those ghost models around here, the minigames to easily take life are each more dangerous than the last;

"Instead, we can give all the seeds to Gu Mian to plant in his greenhouse, we’ll cheer from the side, as long as one person gathers 500 points, we can all leave."

"That’s right, without laboriously planting crops, without risking life, we get the reward, sounds good." Fatty said, looking at 007 and Xie Bi’an, "What do you guys think?"

Xie Bi’an tossed his seed bag onto the table beside him: "I don’t mind."

also agreed with Keke’s idea: "Even if we manage to grow the Ghost Seeds ourselves, when it comes to the exhibition, we’ll probably still shout for Gu Mian; might as well just give the seeds to him." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The assessor had never seen such a distribution method; he widened his eyes intending to stop them righteously, saying it broke the fairness of the exposition, but he’d lost the nerve before he could start.

Even if he stopped them, there was no way to make them listen.

The assessor could only stand aside, eyes wide, watching as the other four handed their seed bags to Gu Mian.

In the past, when this instance wasn’t closed off from matching, other players had come up with this tactic.

To minimize death tolls, someone suggested letting one player plant Ghost Seeds first; when the Ghost Seeds matured, they’d only attack their cultivator, while those not planting ghosts were safe.

If the first player successfully scores 500 points at the display table, everyone can cheer and leave the instance.

If the first player fails, then it’s the second person’s turn; thus, one-by-one dying can minimize casualties, ensuring more survivors than if everyone grew ghosts together.

The assessor dubbed it the "Single Sacrifice Method."

This is a special instance, previously triggered by planting a single plant; planting would trigger the instance and pull people within range into here.

Since the global game started, no one would plant anything on the streets or other public areas; people would typically plant some vegetable seeds in private spaces, places others can’t harvest.

So the instance was often triggered in private areas, the group pulled inside tended to know each other: friends, lovers, teammates who’ve gone through several instances together.

The people pulled inside are mostly clever, with nearly half considering the "Single Sacrifice Method."

But considering it and executing it within a team are worlds apart.

Since most people don’t want to be the "first"

Being the first means abandoning one’s life and death in this instance; you went in together, yet you’re the only one stuck in danger, whilst everyone else is safe behind you.

In time, this imbalance will drive a person crazy.

They’ll doubt, they’ll go mad, they’ll desperately resent why their friends pushed them to be the first.

Honestly, during the period this instance was open, the assessor only saw three teams attempt the "Single Sacrifice Method."

Among them, two teams’ "first" collapsed during ghost cultivation, so they abandoned the "Single Sacrifice Method."

Eventually, those two teams were wiped out.

Actually, wipeouts are common in this instance, after all, it’s a high-difficulty special instance.

What impressed the assessor most was the team who successfully employed the "Single Sacrifice Method," the last team to enter before the instance closed.

But given the time passed since, the assessor could barely recall that team’s name.

Only remembered their "first" seemed to be named City East Captain.
