Chapter 1, what ill intentions could the golden finger possibly have?

Chat Channel

Task List

A crucial segment of memory has faded, as if erased by some force

Do not think as you wish, but think as I wish

"Is it a survival game?" Colin squinted his eyes

What ill intentions could a small hint possibly have

What has just appeared is the "prompt" that was inadvertently triggered by oneself

Beware of the night! Beware of the night! Beware of the night!

This is Colin's first impression of the interior of the cabin

The lantern can dispel the gray mist

In an instant, a beam of light surged forth from the parchment, coalescing in mid-air into lines of small characters

After a moment of hesitation, Colin got out of bed, walked over, reached out to pick up the parchment, and opened it

Then Colin glanced at the lantern again, and soon, the information from earlier resurfaced before his eyes

The constant prompts directed at the second person, which can be considered a form of "golden finger," are ultimately neither clearly good nor bad, and no one can definitively say.

Colin did not act rashly; instead, he gazed at these two items and began to ponder.

They appear to have been deliberately placed there by someone, visible to anyone who stands up

The portable kerosene lamp... is it referring to the horse lantern? Do they not know that a single drop of blood can ignite a kerosene lamp? As long as one stares at it for a few seconds, isn't it...

After all, regardless of whether it is good or bad, Colin is currently helpless. This thing is in his mind, and he certainly cannot open his head to see what is inside, can he

Cherish life, for you will not be resurrected

Amidst the unbearable creaking of the wooden bed, Colin sat up

Those are two items placed on the table

Colin rubbed his forehead, wanting to understand the reason for his presence here, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

I also seek the method to ignite that portable kerosene lamp, otherwise it is impossible to complete the task, I implore kind-hearted individuals...

I just turned 8, celebrating my birthday, drinking and singing, when suddenly I was sent here, completely bewildered, what a terrible situation...

Terror only occurs within the gray mist

However, Colin did not rush to open the parchment; instead, he stared at it for a few seconds and activated what seemed to be a skill-like "hint".

I am in a dire situation; I had just started halfway when I was suddenly brought here... This is not the main issue; the key question is, who knows how to light a kerosene lamp?

Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, I am xxx, please reply to me...

Colin currently also wants to communicate, without much thought, he reached out and opened it, only to find that there are three sub-channels after the [chat channel]

This method of obtaining "hints" simply by observing things is likely a unique ability of one's own... In other words, it can be referred to as a golden finger

Intuition told Colin that the gray mist was extremely dangerous; if he dared to leave the cabin and enter the mist, the only outcome would be death

How did I end up here

Among them, the "World Channel" has the highest flicker frequency, and Colin directly tapped to open it.

In any case, Colin was cautious.

He longs for the world to offer him opportunities without effort, yet he never believes that such opportunities will actually come to him

However, these fonts do not represent the entirety of the scroll's content; after it gradually fades away, three options appear.

4. All personnel obtained through systematic means are absolutely loyal, so please feel free to use them

However, before Collins could think of anything, a line of white text suddenly appeared before him, or rather, in his mind

Perhaps the information is contained within the nearby parchment scroll

Moreover, this gray mist seems to possess a certain vitality, silently flowing through the unsettling silence.

The sudden appearance of the information startled Colin, causing him to instinctively shrink back, and the information simultaneously vanished from his mind

The only life experience he can remember is one devoid of familial affection.

What happened

Always maintain a sense of awe towards the gray mist

In an instant, a multitude of information emitted by other individuals materialized within a half-meter radius

The prompt did not inform itself of the purpose after it is ignited

How to light a kerosene lamp? Colin looked at a large number of requests to light kerosene lamps and murmured in confusion

Personnel Recruitment

Among them, the [chat channel] is constantly flashing, giving a very lively impression

Then he instinctively looked out the glass window, and he saw ... ... fog

This is an old-fashioned lantern, in which the substance used for burning is not kerosene, but a material that resembles blood.

At this moment, he finally noticed that he was lying on a wooden bed, having been there for an unknown duration

Colin appeared in a decaying wooden cabin

1. The wooden cabin can block the gray mist, serving as your last refuge, but do not rely on it excessively

A lantern filled with dark red liquid, along with a leather scroll

The true intentions of the mastermind behind all this remain to be seen, but from the remaining evidence, it does not appear that there is an intention to kill him

A line of text emerged, just as Colin thought this was all there was and was about to shift his gaze to examine the scroll, another line of text appeared in his mind.

Unless it is based on appearance, otherwise, compared to others, Colin does not feel that he possesses any special qualities

However, Colin did not feel happy because of this; instead, he frowned.

This is an old-fashioned lantern, in which the substance used for burning is not kerosene, but a material that resembles blood.

However, in the end, Colin could only shake his head helplessly and refrain from pondering further on this matter

Colin muttered a complaint and then whispered, "What is the purpose of a lantern lit with blood?"

This made Colin feel uneasy and anxious, but soon he was distracted by other matters

Suddenly, Colin came to his senses and realized that as long as he focused on something for a few seconds and contemplated it, hints related to it would emerge in his mind

In a state of intense unease, Colin averted his gaze

A parchment containing important information, do not mind its material, please open it immediately

This information refreshes every ten seconds, and it can be advanced, paused, or spoken on the current page

Thinking positively, perhaps I have indeed been struck by a pie from the sky, and it is merely an ordinary reminder after all

Before he could finish speaking, Colin suddenly woke up, realizing that others might not necessarily possess this ability

Welcome to the global game of Gray Mist Survival, where survival will be your primary objective. To this end, please keep the following pieces of advice in mind

They are the World Channel, the Regional Channel, and the Private Channel

The endless gray mist obscured the sky and the earth outside the window, leaving Colin unable to see anything but the fog.

He has never heard of any game that can achieve this level

In the gray mist, if one does not wish to become prey, it is best to become the hunter

Gloomy, damp, and in a state of disrepair

Important matters should be repeated three times, close the door! Close the door! Close the door! Something happened in the haze!

You realize that this is likely something very important, but there are no tools in the room to ignite a flame. How then can it be ignited? Looking at the bright red liquid, you ponder whether it might be possible to try dropping a drop of blood onto it

[Attention! You notice that it can only burn for one hour]

This is ... ...
