Turning around, six more people appeared out of thin air, startling everyone. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ah Chen also turned to look. Suddenly three men and three women appeared, most likely adventurers like them. The Infinite World is so vast, there’s no way it only contains a few of them. Many people die every day, and the Main God could easily pull in a lot more people. Moreover, they might not even be pulled from the same world; the Main God could have the ability to pull from different worlds.

That would certainly make things lively.

After the Commissioner dies, they become just a normal monster here, neither their inherent strength nor resentment reaches the level needed to create their own domain. The main reason for this is that she didn’t die outside; she willingly came in to undertake the trials and died here. In such cases, it’s hard to establish a domain; they can only be small monsters attacking adventurers according to the rules, either getting beaten on the adventurers’ path or attacking them, limited to a certain area with no upgrades, unable to go elsewhere, knowing limited things.

"Are you adventurers?" Huo Jingchen asked first. He was closest to these people, and he was vigilant. As long as they don’t break the rules or anger the NPCs here, they aren’t in danger. But facing fellow adventurers, human nature is unpredictable, and danger becomes uncontrollable.

He instinctively protected Qin Lin behind him, while Wei Yao quickly stood by his side, ready to react at any moment.

Huo Jingchen’s gaze fell on the aloof-faced woman in tight pants and leather jacket, who appeared to be the leader from the formation of the six.

"Are you also adventurers?" the leading woman asked, her expression showing little surprise. "Indeed, we are adventurers too. My name is Shi Lingmeng."

"Yan Hui," said a man with a slightly severe and proper appearance.

"Ma Qin," Ma Qin said flatly, her eyes glanced at Huo Jingchen and Qin Lin beside him. After seeing their formation, she frowned, clearly showing some displeasure. She also quickly glanced over at Ah Chen and others, showing a friendly look upon seeing Ah Chen and Wei Wenlan, nodding slightly as if greeting them, somewhat inexplicably.

Seeing they greeted them, Ah Chen and Wei Wenlan nodded softly in response.

"I’m Jiang Le," said a tall boy with a clear and naive look in his eyes, easily recognizable as a university student.

"Shen Yunliang," said a middle-aged man, probably in his forties, who looked decent and had a refined and cultured aura.

"My name is Bai Qiaoqian. Hello, everyone," Bai Qiaoqian said, very pretty and well-dressed, "Now that we’ve met outsiders, we have to spend the next three days together. Please take care of me."

Ah Chen noticed that when Bai Qiaoqian spoke, Ma Qin constantly frowned, looking not entirely displeased but rather disappointed.

"I don’t have much combat power, as a woman I’m not as strong as you men, I might not be much help in danger, but if you need anything done otherwise, feel free to ask me," Bai Qiaoqian said. "Laundry and cooking are things we’re more adept at."

Ah Chen now understood Ma Qin’s dissatisfaction with Bai Qiaoqian, but said nothing further. With more people, there are all kinds.

"A little strength, aren’t you aware you can train more? You’ve already passed one trial, still relying solely on others, bound to die here," Ma Qin couldn’t hold back and directly scolded, "Can’t you be a little prouder, only relying on pleasing men to live?"

Bai Qiaoqian was also dissatisfied with Ma Qin, but pitifully said, "I’m naturally weak, can’t do much, and strength isn’t something that grows in a day or two. I do chores, can’t men look after me a bit? Aren’t we supposed to help each other in a team?"

Seeing a fight about to erupt, Shi Lingmeng impatiently said coldly, "Quiet."

Now, neither Ma Qin nor Bai Qiaoqian said anything, each turning their heads away, indicating this scene had happened countless times.

Then, Ah Chen’s group also introduced themselves.

"Weren’t you acquainted outside?" Qin Lin was surprised; she previously thought Shi Lingmeng’s group was like theirs, coming together as a team.

"Are you all acquainted?" Bai Qiaoqian was even more surprised, "Who among you had an accident and summoned others for help?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Chen immediately understood, it seemed they also attempted this step but failed?

Everyone looked at Huo Jingchen, who instantly became the target of envy from Shi Lingmeng’s group.

"Young brother, your life is truly worth it, having so many people come in to help you," Shen Yunliang, having lived half of his life, couldn’t help but express, "Imagine I have taught countless students, made friends far and wide. In ordinary life, one word can’t even fill three private rooms, yet here I realize how valuable it is to have someone willing to fight for me. Don’t blame anyone, human nature dictates and it’s moving. Even my ex-wife, my children, none came to help. The only one did was my old mother, but the numbers were insufficient, so when the time arrived, she had to leave, though we exchanged a few words."

"So when summoning fails, you can still continue the trials?" Huo Jingchen asked.

"You can, but you need to wait," Shi Lingmeng said. "After a failed summon, you’d be transported to another place to complete tasks and earn points, only then can you team up for trials."

"What kind of tasks?" Wei Yao instinctively asked.

"Become a mindless monster until you earn enough points," Yan Hui replied, "If you’re not mentally strong, you could easily lose yourself and never regain the courage to continue trials."

Huo Jingchen then understood it wasn’t that simple. His feelings were mixed.

From their tone, accumulating points didn’t seem easy.

"Alright, let’s see how to enter the Food Village," Shi Lingmeng said, walking to a stone monument to inspect its writings, her face reflecting contemplation.

At this moment, Ah Chen began rummaging through her backpack.

The stone monument stated that the Food Village holds a food festival annually.

They have arrived here, so there must be a food festival. As outsiders, what do they need to enter the village? Either an invitation or a ticket.

She opened her bag and rummaged through it, finding nothing, sinking into thought. Quickly coming to a realization, she said to the others, "Wondering when the food festival starts."

As the words fell, a Food Village invitation card appeared in Ah Chen’s bag, indeed she guessed right.

To obtain an invitation card, just say the words ’food festival’.

Shi Lingmeng had been contemplatively staring at the words "food festival," she heard what Ah Chen said and suddenly reacted, without carrying a bag but she had pockets, immediately found an invitation card in her pocket.

"That was quick." Disguised as a weed, Xiao Pan said to another weed.

Bai Chao looked at the backs of Ah Chen and others, unsurprised.

"Brother, what should we disguise as next?"

"Definitely not a dog."

Ah Chen laughed after hearing the voice coming from beside the stone monument.

As the fog cleared, the Food Village emerged, indeed blessed with clear mountains and waters, beautiful sceneries, and unique village houses.

"Are you outsiders here for the Food Festival?"

"I am the village chief Qu Lisheng, could I see your invitation cards?"

Looking at the invitation cards, the village chief’s smile became even friendlier: "Please come in, I hope you enjoy your three days here, and please help promote our Food Village in the future."
