Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Xinkui nodded:

"Yes, the timing must be considered once we enter the world behind that door. Teacher Jiang, what are you worried about?"

Zhou Baiyu said:

"Whether it's a Summoner, Death Cursing, Time Spirit, or even you as a Mutator, in a sense, you are all Mages. We have no warriors, no one to charge ahead and attract damage."

Since this is a game, there inevitably will be defined roles.

Zhou Baiyu thought completely in terms of game strategy and realized that his team—

was typically fragile but with high offensive capabilities.

The others also realized this issue.

Sima Kaoyu immediately said:

"I'll stay at the very back of the team; my role is the most significant."

Zhou Baiyu cast him an unnoticeable glance, but after some thought, still nodded:

"Sima Kaoyu stays at the rear, controlling the battlefield, with the Death Cursing on the second line, I'll be on the front line. Your physical fitness is relatively good, which is suitable for protecting Sima Kaoyu, and Mutator Xinkui, you'll take the third line."

Zhou Baiyu thought to himself:

"Right now, we don't know what game challenges await us behind the door, but from now on, we need to abandon some of our regular recruiting mindset and adopt a game-like approach."

Having said this, Zhou Baiyu finally approached the door.

With Zhou Baiyu leading, the other four also slowly moved closer, and as they got nearer to the door, everything else in their sight became increasingly blurry.

Only the door became clearer and clearer. Behind it was a vast area resembling a factory, which also differed from what Xinkui knew from the strategy guides.

But by this point, no one

Games are about offering players interesting choices.

What the group didn't expect was that the door was their first choice.

[Greetings challengers, welcome to my Game House. Please recall the games you've played; perhaps those despicable entertainments will be crucial to your survival.

Now, please select your team leader. Choose wisely, because he will make team decisions in your stead.

To some extent, your lives will be in his hands.

The leader will have the privilege of opening the door to the game world and making additional choices.]

As the group approached the door, a synthesized electronic voice sounded, with a message appearing in everyone's minds.

Xinkui looked towards Jiang Xianwu. Not long before, Jiang Xianwu had said he'd be the leader. Xinkui completely agreed.

But the team leader from before was only in an informal capacity, and it seemed that the game mechanism also required a designated leader.

Of course, whether it was an informal team leader or one necessitated by the game's mechanics, in his view, if there was a leader, it had to be the legendary pioneer Jiang Xianwu.

At the same time, he was more puzzled: The Game House, its version number, the recruitment name, they all matched, so why was it so different from the content in the strategy guides?

Zhou Baiyu seemed to perceive Xinkui's confusion:

"Some games, despite being the same game, will generate different items, maps, monsters every time you start them due to their internal algorithms."

"We might be facing such a game. Everyone needs to be on their toes. Guides are not useless, but this is a game in a post-apocalyptic world. If you rigidly memorize and rely on guides, you may actually be restricted by them."

Jiang Xianwu's explanation was reasonable, and Xinkui said:

"We had already chosen Teacher Jiang as the leader, and just as we are about to go somewhere where we need to choose a leader, why not Teacher Jiang?"

"I agree," said Charging For Love Solo.

Death Cursing nodded in agreement as well.

Time Spirit Sima Kaoyu originally thought, being well-informed and a noble Time Spirit, he wanted to vie for the position of leader. After all, this wasn't just an informal title; this was a game mechanic that conferred actual power.

But when Jiang Xianwu's gaze fell on him, for some reason, he was intimidated by an aura Jiang emitted and nodded:

"Alright then, leader, just don't make any wrong decisions."

In companies and schools, there are always those who, when asked for solutions, won't propose any.

But when you make a decision and it doesn't yield good feedback, these people will jump out to criticize what you did wrong and shouldn't have done. They often emphasize their own intelligence by saying things like, "If only you had listened to me back then."

Zhou Baiyu's insightfulness when reading people was razor-sharp, and with a talent like the sixth sense player, he could see that Sima Kaoyu from the guild was such a person. Perhaps not malicious, but... too unrefined.

Zhou Baiyu reached out towards the door.

As the team leader, he soon saw an interface appear.

Not just him, but Xinkui and the rest of the teammates also saw this interface.

[Restart]

[Load Game]

[Settings.]

[Quit Game.]

[Production Team.]

This was a simple and unadorned main game menu interface.

Zhou Baiyu thought about it and first chose Settings.

Through this interface, he suddenly realized that perhaps the reason why he and his teammates had become anime-like was that they had already turned into characters within the game.

Fortunately, when he checked his status, he found his inventory and skill bars intact.

As for the settings, they included standard options, even choices for volume and graphic quality levels.
