No matter how stupid a player is, if he can survive to this day, he must have a basic sense of crisis.
Sensing the monster's murderous intent and knowing he might be no match for it, the man who had just spoken so arrogantly immediately turned to the Smiling Merchant for help. As the host, it was their responsibility to provide protection from unexpected events, provided the players did not violate any rules or trigger any death conditions.
The gentleness in the smiling businessman's expression faded slightly. In his opinion, insulting a host was not a pity. However, he couldn't let an ant be crushed to death by an elephant, as it was his duty. He was unwilling to do it himself, so he glanced at the Ghost King.
During the brief silence, Gou Baopu still had a smiling face, but his tone contained a warning: "Isn't it impolite to trespass into my territory without permission?"
The Teng Snake Cave Master was too lazy to pay attention to him and said to Su Er in a bad mood: "I'll give you twenty minutes, otherwise I'll go back first."
Suer nodded, walked up to Gou Baopu, and showed him the toll he had collected.
"I still have plenty."
Some ghosts chose to provide Yin Qi, which Sur absorbed and stored with an electric shock device, and the rest were all strange and bizarre things.
Gou Baopu's attention was on the master of Tengshe Cave just now, and when he saw the full bucket of things, he immediately moved his nose.
It still tastes like weak humans.
So the question is, where did he get the loot?
As a qualified businessman, Gou Baopu quickly put aside his doubts and prejudices. He slowly twirled the red beads on his wrist, his smile widening. "Smiley face, please show this distinguished guest to the VIP room."
The VIP room, to put it simply, is Gou Baopu's office. Now Suer is walking on the road he has walked before.
"How does it feel to revisit an old place?"
Su Er always walked half a step behind the smiling businessman, glanced at his back and said, "Not bad."
This special office was much more luxurious than the previous one. The smiling businessman sent him there and then left, leaving Sur alone sitting in the chair.
About five or six minutes later, Gou Baopu walked in with a smile on his face.
He did not ask about the origins of these things, but began to estimate their value skillfully. Because there were so many of them, he picked up a pen and made notes on a piece of white paper.
Su Er: "I want to buy information about a teammate who is doomed to die. His name is Ji Heng."
Gou Baopu paused his pen, then began writing fluently again. Without even looking up, he asked, "Why don't you go trade with the players first?"
If you can sell the secret of the death game, you may become the richest man in the game.
Suer: "I don't want to challenge the bottom line of the game."
Since I learned that the game can modify the player's memory, it is necessary to learn from it.
Gou Baopu: "Replace all of them with clues that will lead to certain death?"
Soul nodded.
"There are two options. One is to exchange for three trivial pieces of information; the other is to choose one main clue."
The former covers a wide range but is difficult to connect; the latter is important, but perhaps can be explored through one's own efforts.
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Er made a decision without bargaining: "The main clue."
Gou Baopu didn't seem surprised by his choice and said, "The eyes are the windows to the soul."
Eight short and powerful words, without any explanation.
Suer frowned slightly. He had been mentally prepared before coming here. He predicted that the news of a dead end might be priceless, but he didn't expect it to be so vague.
After thinking for a while, she took out a butterfly hairpin and placed it on the table.
Gou Baopu's eyes lit up slightly, and he was much more interested than when he saw the bucket of strange things.
"A little girl gave me this item. Using it will increase the middleman's profit by 10%."
Sur thought about using it for himself, but considering that it was a one-time consumable item and worried that it would only be used for a transaction with one of the monsters, he did not use it.
However, when this thing falls into Gou Baopu's hands, the profit increase it brings is definitely a considerable number.
"Zhang Xiaohua's precious hairpin," Gou Baopu actually knew the origin of the props. He rubbed his hands and said, "I've been wanting those shoes and this hairpin for a long time."
Su Er was stunned for a moment: "Shoes are also props?"
Gou Baopu: "You have to complete the side quests to have a chance to get it."
Su Er's eyes flashed with regret. It was obvious that he hadn't triggered the special plot at that time. "With this hairpin, what can I exchange for it?"
Gou Baopu's eyes rolled, and he pulled up his eyelids to block his treacherous gaze. "How about a trap set for you?"
Soul's face was expressionless: "If it was that skeleton trying to transfer my property, there's no need. I've already given the props to my teammates for safekeeping."
"..." Gou Baopu praised dryly for his foresight.
Suer looked at his watch. There were still eight minutes left. He had no doubt that the Tengshe Cave Master would abandon him if the time was up.
"Please make an offer quickly."
Gou Baopu: "I can't sell information about a doomed game anymore, or I'll be sanctioned by the game." He habitually rubbed the red beads on his wrist and suddenly asked, "Who is the host who cheated this time?"
Su Er: "The Blue Lotus Sage."
Gou Baopu changed the subject: "How are your liberal arts grades?"
"good."
The topic jumps too far, so he then asks, "How many days do you plan to stay in Nongxu?"
Suer: "You should ask the host about this."
He asked seven or eight questions in total, and even discussed life values. After discussing the deceptive weather, Gou Baopu stood up and said, "It's almost time."
Suggesting that Soul could leave.
He walked to the window and took a peach branch from the vase: "Take a closer look."
Honesty is the principle of a businessman. Gou Baopu will do his best to make a profit, but he will not give useless things to customers. Su Er said nothing and left with Taozhi.
The Lord of Teng Snake Cave likes to coil up, and is currently coiling on the crystal lamp, but unfortunately the temperature above does not make it very happy.
The man below was holding the cup with a trembling hand.
A frightened bird. He had laughed at the birds in stories that had formed conditioned reflexes before, but only when it happened to him did he truly understand the fear.
The moment Sur walked out, many players breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and almost said that they should take the snake away quickly.
The name 'mount' left a deep impression on the Teng Snake Cave Master. This time, he simply wrapped his tail around Su Er's body and flew off into the endless darkness. With all the weight on his back, the Teng Snake Cave Master's flight was more labored than usual. Su Er's waist was also pinched uncomfortably. He sighed, "There's no one around now, let's not torture each other."
Finally, he rode on the snake and tentatively brought the peach branch close to the snake's head: "This is the treasure I just exchanged for. It's very powerful."
"Don't try to trick me." Tengshe Cave Master said coldly, "It's just an ordinary peach branch."
Su Er didn't completely believe its explanation, but he leaned towards this answer. When Gou Baopu had just broken off the peach branches, some of the blossoms in the vase were still in bud, while others had already begun to wilt, a normal phenomenon for flowers that gradually die after being hydroponically cultivated.
At the entrance, the giant python was dozing off, but when it heard the sound, it raised its head alertly.
The Tengshe Cave Master didn't slow down before landing. When Su Er jumped to the ground, he stumbled and quickly stuffed the peach branch into his sleeve, muttering to himself: "I hope the monster will learn not to hit the face."
He did not look back and kept walking until he re-entered Nongxu.
·
The red monster was entrenched above the track, and the inside of its fleshy wings was covered with dense small bumps.
The expected beating did not come, and Sur looked up in surprise.
The red monster in charge of guarding here said, "Qinglian's lackey."
I feel very unhappy when I think that one-tenth of last year's harvest was taken away.
Su Er concealed his surprise, secretly wondering if the Green Lotus Sage hadn't allowed him to 'reveal his true form'?
Every few hundred meters, he encountered a monster, but fortunately, no one attacked him. Sur climbed onto the platform, crossed the train station, and finally entered the city.
Standing on a dozen steps, he looked ahead coldly.
The sky, the ground, the lawn... the whole city is almost turning into a paradise for monsters.
Opening the map the host handed out, the area near the train station was a low-level difficulty zone, with no player options. Looking further ahead, it was the normal area, where the monsters encountered were mostly large and somewhat clumsy.
Su Er finally walked down the stairs, reviewing the conversation between him and Gou Baopu as he walked.
Those few inexplicable questions seemed like casual conversations between friends. This kind of everyday communication would never happen between a host and a player, and there must be hidden information in it.
Making different inferences, gradually approaching the extremely dangerous level area.
After turning a street, a hand suddenly stretched out from the manhole cover in front. The flesh on the fingertips was gone, leaving only sharp white bones. It was hard to tell whether it belonged to a human or a ghost.
Su Er cautiously approached and was surprised to find it was Wan Yi. He instinctively bent down to pull him, but his hand froze in mid-air. The man was covered in wounds, and the pain would be excruciating.
Wanyi used up his last bit of strength to support his upper body and said weakly, "Pocket...water..."
Sur stretched his arm in to feel around and gave him a sip of water from the small bottle.
"Be frugal." The larger wounds were healing visibly, and the rest were obviously prepared to recover on their own.
Only then did Sur pull out trillions.
"The medicine is quite effective. By the way, thank you." Wanyi lay on the ground to rest without caring about his image.
If it weren't for Sur's tricky maneuvering in the maze, the game wouldn't have reissued the Heavenly Spring Water. Healing items can sometimes save lives.
Wan Yi was one of the five people who had chosen the Extremely Dangerous difficulty level. After he recovered a bit, Su Er quickly asked, "Where's Ji Heng?"
"The activity area is divided at the end of this difficulty level. If you want to see him, you should go further."
Sur stood there looking at Trillion.
"Don't worry about me." Wanyi waved his hand: "I've passed this level today."
Sur looked around and found that there were indeed no monsters nearby.
Just as he was about to go find someone, Wan Yi said weakly, "Even if you go, you won't be able to help."
There are still many twists and turns, but he no longer has the energy to explain them in detail.
Su Er thought about it, then turned and walked towards other areas.
Wanyi didn't expect that he actually listened to the advice and slowly exhaled.
All the monsters in the sky have moved to other areas. Recalling the information he got after surviving a life-or-death experience and passing the special difficulty level, Wanyi closed his eyes tightly.
The loss is too great.
To clear the level, he had to use a death substitute, a trump card that had been his lifesaver. When he opened his eyes again, any regret was gone. Regardless, the information he had gained this time was worth it.
Boom!
Knock knock!
The ground was shaking violently, and trillions of people jumped up like lightning.
There were strange birds flying in the sky not far away, huge lizards on the ground, and weird red fish swimming in the air...dense monsters were rushing towards this side.
The monsters that had just tortured him came back, and their number was several times greater!
how so?
The host said that after completing the assessment mission, as long as you do not leave the assigned area, you will not be attacked again within a day.
People cannot outrun monsters. Just as Wanyi was considering whether to go back into the well, he suddenly saw a small black dot standing in front.
The black spot slowly approached, revealing a clear outline.
"Soul?"
Compared with the monster, the opponent looks like an insignificant little grasshopper.
Looking at the people coming towards him, Wanyi's throat moved and asked, "Who are these..."
"Mercenaries."
"…"
In fact, it was Sur who used the newly stored Yin energy in the electric shock device as bait, promising to give them a Yin energy health boost after rescuing the people.
The wool comes from the sheep, and the negative energy is accumulated when collecting tolls.
"We can help stop other monsters, but we can't fight to the death." The lizard glanced at Sur's annoying employee brooch. There was a patch of charred skin on its claws, which was the burn left when it snatched the electric shock device.
Soul smiled and said, "That's enough."
If it weren't for the fact that the monsters in Ji Heng's extremely dangerous area couldn't be released against the rules, there would be no need for a roundabout approach.
He cleared his throat and waved his hand casually: "Let's finish it early and give everyone health care early!"
The mercenary army composed of monsters advanced in a mighty force.
The forgotten Wanyi left behind was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth... You can play it like this!
