For Lu Ping'an, a day of trial was just part of his daily routine.
But for real newcomers, it was a mind-boggling gap.
"We've... experienced death..."
"We were so close, so close..."
All three were forced out by the magic monsters in there. Perhaps, in the eyes of veterans like Lu Ping'an, their reaction seemed a bit excessive, and they gave up too soon.
But in their eyes, they were nearly dead.
After getting close to death, many people become more timid, while others naturally take a more open-minded approach... Past thoughts like "others are progressing faster than me" or "what does he think of me" naturally disappear.
"Professionals can really die at any time."
The intel obtained from others and what one witnesses firsthand have completely different impacts on a person. The monsters, demons, and ghosts in the "movies" are not as dangerous as the real bandits they face.
