Chapter 1414: 467. Fragile, Gude_2

In the darkness, the three of them received the same sudden task:

[Task Name] Help GM Test BUG

[Task Description] The GM teleported you into a special BUG testing space. Here, you will explore a high-difficulty copy that has not yet been opened to players.

Death during the exploration of the copy is considered as normal death, and experience will be deducted.

When your level drops to zero, the task ends.

[Task Reward] Rewards are settled according to your progress in exploring the copy

…

This task puzzled Cucumber Slice.

The NPC issuing the task signed off as “GM,” instead of a full-named NPC.

Seeing that the publisher of the task was “GM,” the Winter Melon and Kelp brothers were overjoyed, thinking they had been chosen by the GM, who forcibly took them to this place where the ground resembled crystal to participate in the BUG testing.

But Cucumber Slice had his own speculations.

He felt that the GM who issued the task was not the real GM.

He had encountered the real GM before and had communicated with them.

He knew very well that if the GM wanted to invite a player like him to help test bugs, they would definitely not teleport players into the BUG testing space.

Not to mention asking politely for help, they would at least send an invitation letter or something in advance to seek players’ opinions, right?

To teleport players to the BUG testing space outright without so much as a word and to disable the players’ logout function was absolutely problematic, and not a minor problem at that.

In the depths of his mind, Cucumber Slice had a premonition.

They were not just players invited to test bugs but a group of unlucky ones kidnapped by a rogue AI.

As a senior player who had interacted with the real GM, Cucumber Slice had reason to believe that the events happening to them were most likely designed by a rogue AI.

As for what this unruly AI intended to do and why it pretended to be the GM to issue tasks to them and others, Cucumber Slice was somewhat unclear.

The best plan Cucumber Slice could think of was to establish contact with the GM impersonating the Black Hole Magic Academy as soon as possible.

He called up his friends list and scrolled through it.

Other than the icons of Winter Melon and Kelp, which were lit up, all the others were offline.

After silently invoking the GM’s great name in his mind, Cucumber Slice still didn’t receive any response.

At this moment, he could only sigh lightly, hoping that the real GM would quickly appear and rescue them.

Looking up through the truck window, Cucumber Slice noticed the Dragon People Team following behind the trucks.

Comparing their appearance with his memories, Cucumber Slice couldn’t find a match, clearly indicating they were a unique species not yet officially introduced in the game.
