After saying that, the crowd bypassed the lava pit as they continued on the path by the side. Shortly after, they arrived at the entrance of the small door on the opposite side.

  Fearless pushed open the small door and was about to cross over when he received yet another system notification. <System Notification: Are you sure you want to enter from the dark door to the next scene?”


  “???”


  Looking at the system notification, Fearless stopped in his tracks.

  After playing the game for such a long time, Fearless knew the little tricks that the system would play on them. It wouldn’t give such a brainless warning for no reason so there must be some hidden traps.

  “Fearless, why did you stop?”


  Wang Yu asked when he saw that Fearless stopped moving.

  “Everyone, stop!” Fearless waved his hands and said, “Let’s head back! We will exit from the door that we came from!”


  This scene only had two doors, the entrance and the exit. Since there was a problem with the exit, the only obvious choice was to head back……

  Even though everyone didn’t know why, they trusted Fearless’ command after witnessing how vigilant and sinister Fearless was throughout the entire time……

  After all, he was the overall commander. It wasn’t as though people thought it wouldn’t be appropriate to disobey his orders, they were more worried that disobeying his orders now would result in lesser rewards at the end.

  Therefore, everyone turned around and returned to where they came from before getting out of the small door.

  Just when everyone thought that they had returned to the palace, the scenes in front of them caught everyone off guard.

  The other side of the entrance was not the palace but it was actually the same scene as earlier. In front of everyone was still the lava pit boiling with lava.

  The place where everyone was standing turned from the earlier entrance to an exit. The group of them were simply standing on the lower end of the plank walkway.

  Even though it was rare to have such a situation in the game, it wasn’t impossible. Many games would have a maze setting like this which was bound to confuse people.

  Since everyone had been playing for some time, they were merely slightly startled when they saw this. They did not react dramatically with the exception of Wang Yu, who was extremely confused at where he saw, “Eh? What is going on? Are we lost?”


  He was indeed a true newbie in this game.

  “It is a maze!” Fearless replied.

  “Maze?” Wang Yu furrowed his brows frantically when he heard this term.

  For a person with such a poor sense of direction, a maze was 180 times more frightening than a God-level BOSS.

  “Don’t worry!” Fearless replied, “Under normal circumstances, the mechanism of the maze uses a few similar maps. The links are all connected so as long as we explore this place a few more times, we will be able to find the pattern to this.”


  Fearless turned back to tell the rest, “Let’s head back!”


  Just when Fearless was about to exit, the system notified him again. <System Notification: Are you sure you want to enter from the dark door to the next scene?”


  “What?”


  Fearless was no longer as calm and collected when he received the notification again.

  To think that they could not pass through this door.

  Under normal circumstances, even a maze should have the basic fundamentals. At the very least, there should be two doors for the players to feel the pattern……

  However, this exit was clearly not passable so this meant that there was only the entrance left.

  If the maze only had a door without an end, entering and exiting before exiting and entering, wasn’t this a cycle of death?

  What was wrong with the brains of the designers? Why and how did they come up with something so retarded?

  “Why? We cannot enter this door?” Spring Halo couldn’t help but extend his leg towards the door when he saw Fearless’ expression.

  “Don’t go in!” Fearless hurriedly stopped him, “It is clear that we now have a hidden choice to make!”


  “Hidden choice?” Everyone questioned, “What choice?”


  Fearless pointed, “Enter the next scene from the exit or enter the next scene from the correct path.”


  “This…… Is there a difference?”


  Everyone was lost when they heard what Fearless said.

  “There is!” Fearless pointed at the map, “There is definitely a problem with the map!”


  “Could this map be fake?” This was everyone’s first reaction. After all, it wouldn’t be surprising for the system as despicable as this one to come up with a fake map.

  “A fake map isn’t possible!” Fearless continued, “We have already received the notification for the next scene so this proves that the map isn’t fake. However, we cannot be sure if it is correct.”


  “A real map that is wrong?” Everyone grew increasingly confused as they started scratching their heads.

  “You can say so!” Fearless paused for a while, “Logically speaking, there are always going to be hidden aspects of a hidden dungeon. It will definitely not allow us to save especially since this is a first-time dungeon. However, the map is so huge and if we don’t save our data, we might need over ten hours to complete this dungeon. However, we are in a lawful society and the game has settings to prevent people from being addicted to it. Therefore, do you think it is possible for it to have a hidden dungeon that requires over ten hours to complete?”


  “Hmm……” Hearing what Fearless said, everyone seemed to have understood him.

  That’s right! One time dungeon would either result in an entire team wipe-out or a successful completion. Saving in such a dungeon seemed unlikely.

  “It seems like this map is a fake one!” God of Death’s Left Hand commented.

  “No!” Fearless corrected, “This map is an important tool to activate the next scene. Instead of calling it a fake, it is more like a deceiving map trying to lead us down the wrong path. In other words, the current scene of our map is like that and the only reason why we haven’t discovered the correct path is because we haven’t managed to find the correct entrance.”


  “I’m getting even more confused!” Ming Du was getting frustrated, “So tell me, what will happen if we enter the next scene from the exit?”


  “If my guess is right……” Fearless touched his chin, “If we leave from the exit, the following scene will be the trap of the game designer. I cannot be certain if there will be a BOSS but I am certain that it will not be the crucial BOSS. Additionally, the monsters will be extremely hard to deal with. This is because a fake path is meant to waste your time so that you will be kicked offline for playing the game for too long.”


  “F*ck! That despicable?!” Everyone was in shock.

  “Do not question the character of the designer!” Wang Yu sighed as though he understood this perfectly.

  “So what should we do? We cannot possibly continue wasting time like this too, right?” Everyone was starting to feel desperate.

  If they continued wasting time like that, their eventual outcome would be the same as the earlier option.

  Fearless thought for a while before saying, “Hmm, there is definitely a hidden exit here! Everyone, try looking again?”


  “Hidden exit?” Wang Yu asked, “Didn’t you say that there is no saving point in this dungeon?”


  “Indeed!” Fearless nodded.

  “Then I got it!” Wang Yu pointed at the boiling lava pit and said, “The teleportation formation there is most likely the exit!”
