Space Difficulty: LV1~LV8
Space Introduction: In this ancient forest, towering trees reach up to the sky, as if to pierce the heavens. A clear river meanders through the mysterious land like a vibrant ribbon. Beasts move through the forest, their shadows appearing and disappearing. Beneath this vibrant scene, however, lies the law of the jungle. The omnipresent danger has created all kinds of top predators, lurking in the darkness, waiting for their prey to appear. Here, will you be the hunter or the prey?
Main Task: Survival
Task Difficulty: LV4
Task Description: Survive in the forest for 7 days
Number of Contractors Entered: 20
Note: The initial space is a 'Non-Killing Space', killing other contractors will not drop "Scarlet Keys".
Warning: The central area of the forest is a high-risk area full of extraordinary creatures. This teleportation is random.
Protected time countdown, 10, 9...
Benjamin's gaze fixed on the content displayed on the screen, and when he saw the warning at the bottom, which was especially marked in blood red, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He nervously looked around, his eyes full of vigilance, carefully surveying the periphery of the light film for the appearance of any beasts.
The view here was relatively open, with the edge of the pool surrounded by rocks, leaving no place to hide. The rocks were of different sizes, some smooth and round, while others angular and sharp. Benjamin looked at the rocks and his heart settled slightly.
Benjamin, relieved to know that he was safe for the time being, crouched down and felt for a suitable stone on the ground. The stone was heavy in his hands, giving him a sense of security. Benjamin couldn't help but glance at the screen again, his heart full of helplessness.
"This is the initial space? I can feel the world's full of malice right now."
[Protected time is over, adventure begins]
With the final prompt popping up, the protective light film instantly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Just then, Benjamin, who had been staring at the prompt, saw that the number indicating the number of contractors instantly changed to 16.
Benjamin was silent for 3 seconds, took a deep breath, slowly raised his head, and looked up at the sky covered by a large area of trees. The intertwining branches and leaves of those trees formed a green canopy in the sky, making people feel extremely oppressed.
"This damn place is really a trap!"
Benjamin bit his teeth and muttered a curse under his breath.
After the exclamation, Benjamin took a deep breath, slightly raised his chin, and a hint of stubbornness appeared in his eyes. He also secretly complained about his overly sensitive nerves.
[You have obtained Initial Reward]
A crisp prompt sounded, and Benjamin keenly noticed that there was suddenly an extra wooden box in his storage space. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sense of curiosity welled up in his heart.
The moment he took out the wooden box, Benjamin's fingers lightly grazed the surface, and he was slightly taken aback by the exquisite feel. Immediately afterward, another prompt appeared in front of his eyes.
[Initial Reward]
Category: Gift Pack.
Effect: Open the gift pack to randomly give the contractor one piece of equipment and one skill scroll.
Description: Being able to get the [Initial Reward] proves that you are still somewhat different from those unlucky fools who met with unfortunate deaths as soon as they entered. Just how big is the difference? Haha, that's anyone's guess.
Benjamin's hand holding the wooden box was slightly stiff. He slowly raised the other hand and gently pinched his brows, a soul-searching question rising in his heart: "Is this really a proper space? Is a newcomer really so without human rights?"
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
[Yes/No to "Initial Reward"]
Benjamin's hawk-like gaze scanned the area once again, taking in the surroundings carefully to make sure they were safe. His brow furrowed slightly, his expression grave as he contemplated something. Finally, with mixed feelings, he slowly opened the wooden box.
[You opened Initial Reward]
[You obtained Abandoned Dagger]

...
The wooden box disappeared silently, replaced by a slightly crude-looking dagger and a scroll. Benjamin frowned, took the dagger in his hands, and gave it a toss. It felt quite heavy. Upon closer inspection, he couldn't help but grimace. Some parts were even slightly bent.
"This guy's craftsmanship really isn't that good,"
Benjamin muttered.
"Haha, it gets a 5? I don't have high hopes for the white equipment."
Benjamin shook his head helplessly, and he casually stored the dagger in the storage space. After all, it was a weapon, and it might even be useful as a utility knife in the forest.
Then he opened the remaining scroll in his hand, and another prompt popped up in front of his eyes.
[Yes/No Learn "Magic Missile"]
"Of course, choose 'Yes'. "
Benjamin made his choice without hesitation.
[You have mastered "Magic Missile"].
[Note: "Magic Missile" is an Active Skill. The current Active skill bar is 1/5. Contractors can increase the number of Active skill bars by leveling up, or they can use precious items to remove existing skills.]
This new note made Benjamin instantly petrified for a second. He gritted his teeth and a strong sense of dissatisfaction welled up in his heart.
"How can you give hints after someone has already made a choice? If you were a game designer, you would definitely be killed if you went out! Definitely!"
At the moment, he really wanted to vent his frustration to someone.
"Well, forget it, at least I can defend myself a little bit, and I don't have any other options. I'd better stay away from the waterhole for now."
Benjamin sighed and said to himself. He knew that wild animals often gathered near water sources, especially at noon, when the animals in the forest would gather at water sources. If a fight broke out at that time and it affected him, it would be terrible.
"Although I have a skill, I am just an ordinary person. I must be careful. Survival is the key."
Taking out the dagger from the storage space, Benjamin looks cautiously around him, his eyes darting about as he picks a direction to go in. As he walks, he marks his path, for fear of getting lost in the dense forest. Breathing in the damp air and stepping on the decaying leaves and branches, Benjamin plods along. Occasionally, the sound of insects and birds singing in the nearby area breaks the silence of the forest.
Although the Space Introduction mentioned that it was dangerous here, Benjamin didn't encounter any accidents as he continued on. This status continued until a large net appeared in front of him, and he had to stop and look at it. What caught Benjamin's attention wasn't the net, but a spider that was lying in the middle of it. This unfortunate spider was the size of a palm, and the color of its body was extremely similar to the trees next to it, so it was hard to spot if you weren't looking carefully. At the moment, it was patiently waiting for prey to walk into the net.
Why do I say it's unfortunate? Because...
"It's really not because I'm itching to do it. Mainly, after walking for a long time, I only saw this one living creature, and it's so ugly."
Benjamin muttered while pointing his palm at the spider, ready to unleash his skill.
"Magic Missile!"
