The excrement of the white beast smelled much worse than that of ordinary birds. As a qualified businessman, Gou Baopu immediately handed over a tissue and helped the skeleton wipe it.
The pale skull was wiped away, and the area spread out instead. The smell of feces filled the entire office for a moment.
The skeleton's expression was unreadable, but Gou Baopu could hear the signs of the coming storm from his extremely suppressed voice: "Explain."
The incident happened too quickly. Gou Baopu sighed and grabbed the white beast in his palm. "Tell me about your relationship with Su Er."
The white beast was warlike and ferocious and refused to cooperate. Gou Baopu was also ruthless. He crushed it to death with a smile on his face and absorbed some of its Yin energy at the same time.
Unfortunately, this amount of Yin energy is just a drop in the bucket for him. Assuming that the purity of the extracted Yin energy from the Sur electric shock device is 80%, ordinary ghosts and monsters killing each other can only devour a few percentage points of the Yin energy from each other's bodies at most.
As a lesson learned from the previous experience, when the pointed-headed bird was caught, it behaved very well and took the initiative to explain the situation. A lot of things were omitted. Although the cheating game is updated every year, it still seems to give away the whole thing if it tells the whole thing.
After hearing this, Zhou Linjun sneered: "How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"
Just when he was about to transfer his property, Sul was keeping the monster.
"A marriage certificate," Gou Baopu brought up the past, explaining calmly, "The consequence of the ghost marriage is that Su Er has been given the fate of a husband-killing woman."
Isn't it you who is Ke De?
The skeleton took his anger out on the monsters nearby, crushing two more to death. "How can such a ridiculous marriage be allowed under the rules?"
Gou Baopu smiled without saying anything, then suddenly turned his chair and looked out the window.
The smell in the room was too bad, so he got up and opened the window to get some fresh air.
Suer's inevitable death is in Wudu. It just so happens that Zhou Linjun is also from that world, and the parents' orders are the highest principle in the copy.
"Fate..." Gou Baopu shook his head and said, "More like the return of evil karma."
Zhou Linjun: "That day he disguised himself as a woman to deceive the old woman..."
Before he could finish, Gou Baopu interrupted, "Since ancient times, people have been marrying roosters in the hall. What's more, it's a ghost marriage, so there are no such things to pay attention to."
You're already dead, what's there to ask for?
"…"
·
Outside the hall, Suer pretended to be very confident and entered the inner court.
Guessing that the monster's disappearance might be related to the transfer of property, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous and walked straight towards the middle-aged man.
"The share money is gone," Suer cried bitterly, "Do I have to pay a lot?"
Seeing the devil's claws about to reach out to him, the middle-aged man took a step back and said coldly: "No need."
Knowing when to quit, Su Er lowered his arms, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned around to continue collecting the membership fees.
The middle-aged man stopped him and said, "We don't need so many people to collect membership fees. You should find another job."
Behind him, Suer concealed the curve of his lips and pretended to pick up the tray.
The middle-aged man twitched his lips and told her to just sit quietly aside. He then said with a veiled warning, "I've thought about it carefully. Your previous suggestion is not unreasonable. If the bride runs away from the wedding, it is necessary to choose a backup replacement."
Soul placed his hands on his knees and nodded obediently.
With five minutes left until the wedding, everything seemed to be back to normal.
The guests were almost all present. Yizhu was in high spirits: "What a great bargain!"
Suer was quite considerate and dealt with the monsters at their table as well.
Wanyi narrowed his eyes and wondered what had happened just now. It was impossible for Sur to possess such power. Could it be a prop?
Seeing the other person frowning out of the corner of her eye, Yizhu yawned and said, "Don't try to fool around."
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
Wanyi put away his chaotic thoughts. Even if he figured it out, the thing wouldn't go into his pocket, so why bother racking his brains.
The lights dimmed instantly, and the emcee came on stage, delivering the same old opening remarks.
Su Er sat in an inconspicuous little corner, separated from others. He looked to the left and couldn't help shaking his head.
The guests who were chatting and smiling just a moment ago now had purple faces, and some of them even had green eyes flashing. The torment of the players sitting among them could be imagined.
Sur smelled the faint scent of blood. Though the light was dim, he could still see. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a player with a missing piece of flesh on their leg. Some kind of healing item had been used, but it had healed quickly, but the pain was undeniable, and cold sweat could be seen on the player's forehead.
I took a sip of water and thought to myself that no job is easy.
Now the lights are concentrated on the central aisle, and after the bride and groom enter, the atmosphere is pushed to a climax.
The hall was bright again. The people who had been collecting the money finished their work and were led to their seats by the middle-aged man. Ji Heng went directly to Su Er's side, and Wan Yi and Yi Zhu did the same, saying that they knew each other and there was no need to set up two tables.
The middle-aged man didn't make a big deal about it, but when they sat down, he said meaningfully, "It's good to get together."
The bride and groom were wearing heavy makeup. Sur tilted his head to watch them show their affection, and clapped his hands from time to time.
"The bouquet represents the transmission of happiness. The beautiful bride hopes to pass this romance on to the next kind person. Unmarried people who wish to receive this happiness, please come to the stage!"
There was no response, even the bridesmaids stood still.
The emcee quipped, "It seems everyone is shy. Why not just leave it all to fate?"
He asked the bride to turn her back to the crowd and randomly called out to the people present, skipping those who were married.
The bride shyly said, "The third person from table 5, counting counterclockwise, all the girls at table 8, all the singles at table 10..."
After a series of orders, it happened that the players were included, and the only one who escaped was the waiter.
"The bouquets are mostly received by girls, and I'm married." A male player stood up and declined.
"Getting married?" The bride turned around, covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Really?"
The player was about to nod, but his years-cultivated sixth sense suddenly made him swallow back his words. If it were so easy to refuse, it wouldn't be a dungeon game. The chance of getting hit by a bouquet on stage was only one in ten. There was no need to dwell on it.
He adjusted his expression and walked onto the stage with a smile: "I was just joking."
Seeing him act like this, the bride's face revealed a look of pity. The others, noticing the details, naturally knew what to do and all took the stage.
"Everyone has the right to be happy," the bride said, turning her back again. "Today, both men and women can grab the bouquet."
Su Er and Ji Heng looked at each other, and raised their left eyebrows... Grab?
It is hard to say whether it is an opportunity or a crisis.
His question was soon answered. The bride deliberately held up her bouquet, which contained not the traditional roses but burning candles. The candles were very strange, with a sizzling sound coming from the top, and the wicks seemed to be burning in an explosive manner.
Su Er completely lost the desire to fight for it.
The bride didn't give them much time to react, skipping the countdown stage and throwing it directly backwards.
With her arms raised high, the most likely outcome was that the bouquet would hit the ceiling. However, at the moment it flew out, several thin snakes as thick as thumbs emerged from the candlelight and controlled the direction of the bouquet.
She walked around the person in front and headed straight for Qiao Yue with the bouquet.
Qiao Yue had been worried ever since the middle-aged man accused her of wearing unlucky clothes. Now she was sure that she was being targeted. She couldn't get away with it after a few attempts, and she couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed with other people.
None of the people in the car at that time reminded her. Didn't they all want to use themselves as pawns?
When Su Er saw the girl's expression, he knew that she was in trouble. In terms of unluckyness, he admitted that he was second to none and no one dared to claim to be first.
As expected, Qiao Yue glanced around while dodging and quickly aimed at Suer.
First, he is close to me, and second, his overall strength is not strong. Why do all the hosts look up to him?
Out of subtle jealousy, he used a speed-up tool and prepared to dodge behind him.
As soon as Qiao Yue took out the props, Su Er hid behind Ji Heng like lightning. When Qiao Yue got behind him, Ji Heng turned around and kicked him off the stage.
"You're pretty quick." Ji Heng said with a half-smile.
Wanyi was also surprised. Suer and Ji Heng seemed to have a very close relationship, and he did not hesitate to act as a shield.
Su Er was very calm about this: "He can handle it."
Ji Heng has a high fighting power, enough to deal with Qiao Yue, but he needs to use the electric shock device in public.
Wan Yi thought this was probably a tacit understanding. When collecting the membership fee, Ji Heng did not hesitate to remove himself. He subconsciously imagined what would happen if he used the leader of the organization as a shield.
As expected, he was beaten half to death.
The bouquet finally fell into Qiao Yue's arms, and the fire snake drilled towards her body. Qiao Yue hurriedly sprinkled some silver powder, and the candle lost its vitality in an instant, and the fire snake was extinguished.
This powder is much more precious than the acceleration props. Qiao Yue stood up safely, with a look of pain on her face.
Seeing this, Sur shook his head. He couldn't understand the mentality of someone who was reluctant to use rare items and risk other people's lives to save himself.
Qiao Yue didn't prepare to explain anything. She suddenly felt a chill as she stepped back onto the stage. Looking up, she met a pair of cold eyes. She swallowed and stepped away. She had only a few seconds to think, having forgotten that Su Er and Ji Heng were friends.
Yizhu smiled brightly: "When beating a dog, you have to look at the owner. He has a backer."
Soul coughed.
Yizu realized later that she seemed to have cursed the victim as well.
At this moment, the bride was a little slow to walk up to Qiao Yue, looking worried: "Did you fall?"
Qiao Yue smiled wryly and avoided her support: "It's okay."
The emcee smoothed things over at the right moment: "Everyone tried their best to catch the bouquet of happiness."
The player's mouth twitched when he heard this.
The emcee gave each person a rose and asked them to leave the stage.
Not long after we settled into our seats, a champagne tower was erected nearby. The groom, holding the bride's hand, prepared to pour the champagne. Meanwhile, several performers in costumes arrived, signaling a long list of entertainment to come.
The waiter had escaped danger just now, but this time it was his turn to be unlucky.
The performer pulled him to his side, and the middle-aged man explained that the subsequent show would require cooperation, and it was a magic trick called "Magic Revival".
Su Er pricked up his ears and felt emotional when he heard this. What was this magical resurrection? To put it bluntly, it was just "sending you to death."
Ji Heng suddenly said, "There are many steps in a wedding."
Saying this kind of thing seemed like a deliberate attempt to put pressure on someone, but Ji Heng certainly wouldn't be so bored. Wan Yi narrowed his eyes, pondering the deeper meaning of the words, and in the blink of an eye, he saw Su Er pick up the wine glass, stand up, and run to another table to get close to the guests.
He seemed to understand something and just went to chat with the middle-aged man.
Qiao Yue saw that they were all moving and prepared to go over to investigate.
Su Er was dealing with a table full of monsters, so Ji Heng had to keep an eye on them. He didn't have time to meddle in other people's business for the time being: "Please block them."
Yizhu: "What good will it do if I attract hatred?"
Ji Heng said slowly, "Marrying my daughter in the west of the city."
Yiju is a smart person and quickly realized that since this sentence was mentioned in the game, it proved that marrying off the daughter was the key. However, after observing the whole scene, she could not see the bride's parents.
After getting the benefit, Yizhuo worked hard. She twisted her waist and walked to Qiao Yue, holding her hand tightly and not letting her leave, saying that she wanted to reminisce about the past.
Qiao Yue could only worry and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"
Yizhu said calmly: "You are not as strong as me, so you'd better sit down obediently."
Sur didn't know about the dispute over there and asked about the girl's parents.
The guests were all monsters with beastly hearts in human form, but they were extremely serious about playing their roles. After all, they were paid, and there had been precedents in the past where they were held accountable by the host for being passive and slacking off.
However, in the past, they would have to be given some difficulties before they would cooperate. Suer's previous performance in collecting membership fees had somewhat intimidated them, so now he just let them know the two pieces of information naturally.
First, the bride had a bad relationship with her parents, so the elderly did not come to the wedding.
Second, the bride has a twin sister who is said to have a crush on her brother-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Su Er sighed deeply: "What a ridiculous plot!"
The guests dressed as monsters agreed that the scripts they received were getting more and more melodramatic every year. They just wanted to eat people, and there were no rules to follow.
Of course, they could only think about it in their hearts and dared not complain about the game out loud.
Su Er went to Ji Heng with the information he had learned and concluded: "There is a rift between the sisters."
Wanyi also came back at this time. After some twists and turns, he got information that was similar to Suer's.
"Normally, we'd have to find the bride's parents and twin sisters first, then unravel the mystery layer by layer," Soul leaned back in his chair. "But this isn't a dungeon; it has a complete main storyline."
It's just a small game, and the monsters are just part-time there, so it won't be too troublesome.
Trillion: "I have an idea, the name of the game."
He didn't explain it in detail, but Ji Heng nodded slightly.
Regardless of whether it was a substitute marriage or the twin sister wanted to sabotage it, the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix is a happy event, so we must never let this happy event turn into a funeral.
With an idea in mind, he looked around and soon made a different discovery. A waiter had been squatting in the corner arranging flower baskets since the beginning. Sur's sharp eyes seemed to see something else in the basket.
Ji Heng and Wan Yi walked over at the same time.
The waitress lowered her head and felt someone approaching, so she suddenly attacked. The paper knife in her hand turned into a solid object when she chopped someone over. Ji Heng dealt with him, while Wan Yi was responsible for taking the flower basket aside. When he opened it, he saw some turbid liquid in the bottle inside.
I unscrewed the bottle cap and poured some onto the ground. It was corrosive.
The waitress was furious, not wanting to be exposed before her turn. Having come to this point, she decided to kill one of them first.
Unfortunately, she met someone who was not a pushover. After a few rounds, Ji Heng kicked her in the abdomen and put a talisman on her, then dragged her outside.
Su Er sighed softly: "The wind whistles and the Yi River is cold. The hero will never return once he leaves."
The strong man mentioned naturally refers to the waitress.
Not long after, Ji Heng came back again, seemingly having just washed his hands and was wiping them with a tissue.
"Let's go." He said to Su Er, "Maybe we can catch the mooncake event in the east of the city."
Soul: "Did you get the hint?"
As soon as I asked, I saw words appearing on the rose that the host had just given me.
There was no answer to his question. Looking around, everyone except Qiao Yue had a line of small words on their answer.
Su Er had passed the death trap, so it was not surprising that he did not get any information. Seeing that Qiao Yue did not get any information either, he said with a smile: "What's going on?"
Ji Heng: "The waiter asked at the end, 'How did you know?' I read out a bunch of players' names and said that we discovered it through collaboration."
Of course he omitted Qiao Yue's name.
Soul gave a thumbs-up: "That's cruel." Then he asked: "Is the waiter still alive?"
Ji Heng nodded: "Half a life."
To put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of monsters hired to act, and it is not worth the effort to kill them.
When going downstairs, Ji Heng did not take the initiative to mention the clues he had obtained. Suer discovered that since returning from the world in the mirror, the other party had been deliberately concealing something.
I couldn't help but stop and said, "Are you going to join me in this dead end?"
A very confident tone.
Ji Heng's eyes darkened.
Soul: "Why?"
Without waiting for a response, he spoke up, "Because you don't want me to take any risks? Do you think you're so great?"
"The situation is very complicated." Ji Heng's face was stern. "At least from the information we have received so far, it seems that I am in a dead end and I can't take care of myself."
Su Er was about to argue when Ji Heng said in a deep voice, "With your current strength, it would be very troublesome if you were alone and encountered a fierce ghost."
Arguing is useless.
If the other party insists on not using team props, he can't do anything.
Su Er thought: "Let me make a bet. If I can significantly improve my ability to protect myself, you have to agree to join me in a dead end."
Ji Heng: "In such a short time..."
Su Er interrupted: "Just say whether you agree or not?"
Ji Heng looked at him and finally nodded.
"Very good." Su Er said, "I believe you will keep your promise."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Ji Heng followed him. Su Er turned around and said expressionlessly, "You go to the east of the city to complete the mission. I have other plans."
Ji Heng said with a smile: "Don't act on impulse."
At this moment, Wanyi, Yizhui and others also walked out of the hall. They saw them arguing at the door, vaguely heard some of the content, and walked over to smooth things over.
Trillion: "He's thinking about you too."
Soul crossed his arms and raised his chin deliberately: "Just wait and see, after tonight, I will be out of his reach."
"…"
When he came to his senses, the person had already walked away. Wanyi couldn't help laughing: "It looks like a little tiger with its fur blown off."
Still the kind that hasn't been weaned off milk.
Ji Heng sighed and had to say that the description was quite apt.
·
Back at the hotel, Su Er found the Blue Lotus Sage under the guidance of the rabbit waiter.
"I'm going to see Gou Bao Pu."
The Green Lotus Sage was obsessed with health preservation. He had just finished a set of Tai Chi and said with a smile, "Didn't we always go directly there before?"
Sur: "Last time, I had no choice but to collect the toll in exchange. Leaving the dungeon without a word again would be disrespectful to you."
The Green Lotus Sage slowly began to make tea: "Aren't you worried about running into someone you don't want to run into?"
The serious mask cracked and Sur smiled awkwardly.
The truth is out.
He was timid and worried about running into Zhou Linjun.
After making the tea, the Sage Qinglian poured him a cup and agreed cheerfully.
The whole process went so smoothly that Sur felt a little unbelievable.
The Blue Lotus Sage said calmly, "Other players are here looking for hope, but you're just here on vacation. I have no reason not to meet your reasonable requests."
As he spoke, he walked to the front and turned on the projector in the room, and actually achieved video communication directly.
Su Er took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the confusion in his heart.
On the other side of the video, several people were busy chatting in a luxurious office. Gou Baopu's smile didn't reach his eyes: "Excuse me, we're renovating now."
Guessing the reason, Su Er asked tentatively: "Ghost King..."
"Let's go." Without asking why the Blue Lotus Sage had helped him with the communication, Gou Bao Pu glanced at his watch and said, "My time is precious."
Su Er got straight to the point: "We have a big deal to discuss. You get eight and I'll get two."
Gou Baopu calmly sat up straight and said, "Tell me about it."
Su Er pointed at the Green Lotus Sage and said, "I want him to be a witness."
"Are you afraid that I won't keep my word?"
Soul: "I sell ideas, not ordinary transactions."
Gou Bao Pu looked at the Green Lotus Sage: "Are you willing too?"
The latter was happy to watch the show and nodded.
"Okay." Gou Baopu said calmly, "If you can help me make a lot of money, I'll split it 80% to 20%."
Anyway, he took the lion's share.
Su Er breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "It's well known that I destroy every instance I go to. No host or ghost is spared wherever I go."
Gou Baopu's mouth twitched slightly...it was the truth.
Su Er asked softly, "Are you interested in insurance?"
Gou Baopu was startled at first, but then his eyes lit up and he understood immediately: "Using you as a gimmick, if the ghosts or hosts who have purchased insurance in advance are harmed in the dungeon, they can get compensation?"
Su Er nodded: "Some time ago, thousands of ghosts lost their jobs because of me. If they were insured, they wouldn't have to worry about finding a job now."
After a moment's silence, Gou Baopu clapped his hands in praise, "What a plan! This way, the evil spirits will probably take the initiative to let you destroy them if they encounter them in order to compensate you. Won't there be a lot of insurance fraud in the future?"
Su Er smiled slightly: "Let them cheat, and you must pay a huge amount of compensation."
There were countless ghosts in the game, and if you took a little from each one, it would definitely be an astronomical sum. The compensation was just a drop in the bucket, but the first one to be paid actually helped spread the word.
Gou Baopu thought more deeply about what he could think of. Now that Su Er was notorious in the host world, different levels of compensation could be set. As a high-risk group, hosts had to pay more for insurance than ghosts.
Even so, there will be no shortage of investors.
The Sage Qinglian was originally drinking tea leisurely, but he almost spit out a mouthful of tea when he heard these remarks.
Based on the number of ghosts and hosts currently in the game...if this business were to truly develop, these two would definitely become the richest and second richest people in the future.
His eyes began to become complicated, thinking about how so many monsters were still working diligently, and how the host was working so hard, but in the blink of an eye, they were not as good as a player.
It is such a sad story that makes anyone who hears it feel sad and cry!
Su Er: "By the way, please help me contact Zhou Linjun. Tell him that I am willing to cooperate in dissolving the ghost marriage relationship, as long as he pays two props."
The money you have worked hard to earn cannot be used to pay off others in the future.
Gou Baopu truly witnessed how terrifying it would be when human hearts turned evil!
"Aren't you afraid of offending the Ghost King?"
Su Er shook his head: "When I become rich in the future, I will unconditionally send a large amount of Yin Qi to him. After all, he helped me this morning by accident."
Giving one date after being beaten with a stick is likely to cause resentment; but giving one date after being beaten with ten sticks may make the other party feel flattered.
This is the despicable workplace PUA.
