We are all old players who have been in the game for so many years. We have seen arrogant people, but we have never seen anyone so arrogant!
After Jie Fangcheng came in, he closed the door. The NPC at the bar had already hidden in the kitchen, and Jie Fangcheng was the only one left in the entire restaurant facing twenty-five players.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
Liu Guangming felt that he was really unlucky today. He wanted to cheat other players at first, but ended up getting cheated himself.
When he came to have breakfast, he thought the set meal at 16 cents was a great bargain, and he wanted to buy two more to save in case he missed out on such a good deal in the future. However, he was told that the original price was only 1 cent.
Later, with the intention of winning over Ning Suisui, he took the initiative to introduce himself as Liu Guangming. As a result, he was beaten black and blue by the other party. After handing in the points, he now had a total of zero. It was obviously the first time for Ning Suisui to do such a thing, so she didn't beat anyone but him.
At this point, Jie Fangcheng, who is obviously the strongest player at the moment, has closed the door again and is trying to rob!
What is this? Black Friday
Oh shit!
Even the most stress-resistant person can’t stand it at this moment!
Even though Liu Guangming knew that Jie Fangcheng was extremely powerful, he still stood up suddenly, took out his weapon and rushed forward, determined to vent his resentment.
Jie Fangcheng never expected that as soon as he opened his mouth, someone on the opposite side would come over with weapons brandishing and looking for death, as if he had suffered some great humiliation.
He originally thought that this was just another annoying game of eagle catching chickens, and it all depended on luck who would be caught.
But at this moment, Liu Guangming rushed forward and Jie Fangcheng was delighted.
"Oh!" He liked it this way, so conscious! It saved him the trouble of running over!
Jie Fangcheng pulled out a stick without saying a word, and then let out an "eh".
Liu Guangming's entire body shattered like broken glass, and then quickly came together again.
[Skill: Glass Man·Rare·Level 6/6]
[Introduction: Don’t underestimate the inconspicuous glass, the sharp edge can also be used as a weapon! ]
[Tip: Attention! Glass is sharp and fragile! Please use with care! ]
[Function: Shatter before receiving an attack to protect yourself from being hurt.]
Liu Guangming couldn't beat Ning Suisui, and couldn't even use this skill. That's because Ning Suisui had more rarer skills that could suppress him.
Facing Jie Fangcheng, Liu Guangming quickly used this skill.
Because... it's too slow!
Ning Suisui, who was standing by, couldn't help but wonder in her heart, at such a slow speed, no matter how strong Jie Fangcheng was, could he really hit anyone
But when Jie Fangcheng's second stick came down, it still looked very slow to the naked eye. The onlookers all thought that there was no way he could not dodge this stick. Only Liu Guangming, who was about to bear the blow, knew clearly... that he could not dodge it.
It was a feeling that was hard to describe, as if it was a suppression from a higher level than the one he was in. He couldn't even move, let alone hide.
But his reason told him that he could easily dodge the stick at this speed. But when the stick came down, Liu Guangming could only stand there in a daze, allowing the stick to hit his shoulder.
Xie Fangcheng didn't intend to kill him with one blow of the stick, so he used less force when he hit him. However, Liu Guangming, who was hit by the stick, still fell to the ground, holding his arms and rolling over and howling.
This scene seemed a bit weird to everyone in the restaurant. They felt that Liu Guangming didn't even try to hide and just lay there so easily, which made him look like a scammer.
“Ahhhh!!”
Jie Fangcheng stood there coldly and ruthlessly: "Come on, give me the task, or I'll kill you."
Everyone had a subtle look on their face.
Liu Guangming screamed and cried: "How can I send it to you! I have zero points now!!"
"Are you kidding me?" Jie Fangcheng didn't believe it.
Liu Guangming was so angry that he actually said, "I command you! Kill all the NPCs on the ship!!"
Jie Fangcheng was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"
[Ding—Player [Liu Guangming] has issued a task to you. ]
[The player [Liu Guangming] has a lower score than you, so the mission failed to be published. The compensation is the difference between the two people's scores. ]
[Ding—Player [Liu Guangming]'s score is zero, compensation failed.]
Jie Fangcheng looked at him with an expression that was hard to describe.
"How did you get zero points?"
Liu Guangming seemed not to hear what he said and his face suddenly turned pale.
In his sight, the surrounding environment was changing every time he blinked. The originally shabby and greasy restaurant looked like it was splashed with a layer of blood with pieces of meat, and he could smell a strong smell of blood in his nostrils.
An alarm sounded in Liu Guangming's ears.
[Warning! Player [Liu Guangming] posted a task with a score of zero, attracting the wandering [Cruise Ship Ghosts]. ]
[Warning! [Cruise Ship Ghost] is approaching! Please prepare early. ]
[Hint: Everyone who dies on the ship will turn into a ghost and follow the ship to the center of the ocean. The living can get the treasure, but what will the ghost get? Is it a boat full of delicious snacks? ]
Liu Guangming suddenly looked at the players around him.
It was sunny outside today. Although the restaurant on the first floor was dark and damp, the light filtering in from the windows still made people feel very comfortable.
Yes, comfortable.
This copy does not look as eerie and scary as other copies. At least judging from the surrounding environment, it is like a luxury cruise ship. If your score is high, you can live comfortably.
Until this moment, in front of Liu Guangming's eyes, the faces that were originally familiar or unfamiliar seemed somewhat distorted and hideous. Someone around him was talking to him, and his eardrums seemed to be sealed. The voices were dull and noisy, but he could not understand what they meant.
"… Lao Liu? What's wrong with you?"
"Hey! ... That Jie, Boss Jie, we didn't offend you, did we? Look at how you beat our brother Liu, can you please show some mercy?"
"That's right. We're all players. There's no need to make things so awkward on the first day, right?"
Jie Fangcheng seemed to sense something vaguely. He turned his head suddenly and looked at the closed door.
Ning Suisui had also raised the giant axe in her hand, and she was looking at the door with a heavy expression.
The closed door... slowly opened.
The sun was shining outside, but an indescribable chill blew into the house.
"What's wrong? Why do I feel something is wrong..."
"What's going on? Is there something outside the door?"
Everyone looked at each other and asked questions. Although they didn't know what was going on, they took out their weapons one after another in inexplicable panic.
If everyone could only feel that there was something at the door, Liu Guangming could actually see it.
At the door, surging waves poured in under the pale sunlight.
A skeleton stood in the doorway.
The skeleton was wrapped with water plants and unknown marine creatures and covered with a gray robe. Its dark, empty eye sockets stared straight at Liu Guangming. Although there was nothing inside, it seemed as if something was locking onto him.
“… Gu Zailai…” Liu Guangming broke out in a cold sweat as he recognized the iconic grey robe on Gu Zailai.
The skeleton's white teeth were closed together, and then slightly opened, as if revealing a smile, and its hoarse voice penetrated Liu Guangming's eardrums.
"Hello, I'm so bored in the sea, would you like to accompany me?"
Skeleton asked politely.
Grass!
Liu Guangming got up from the ground and took two steps back, not caring about his still painful shoulder.
Just then, his shoulders sank.
Liu Guangming stood stiffly where he was. He felt that he just blinked his eyes and the skeleton in front of him disappeared.
—had indeed disappeared from his sight.
Liu Guangming's nostrils twitched as he smelled a fishy smell beside him.
Four hand bones were placed on his shoulders. Liu Guangming could see from the corner of his eye that the skeleton was not just bones. There seemed to be flesh and blood in the gaps between the bones that had not been removed cleanly, as if it had been gnawed by something, leaving only the skeleton.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Zailai came closer to him and laughed unpleasantly, "Why... don't you look back?"
— "I'm right behind you."
Liu Guangming swung the weapon in his hand violently backwards!
It was like hitting a thick metal wall. Liu Guangming's palms shook, and the skeleton didn't even retreat. One of its heads even stretched straight forward.
[Glass Man]Skill activated!
Before Liu Guangming could even crack open, the skeleton in front of him stretched out its sharp bone claws and reached into his heart.
Liu Guangming spat out a large mouthful of blood and felt his vision go dark.
Can't beat.
When Gu Zailai was alive, he was a very scary player. After his death, his strength had obviously reached the level of a small BOSS in the dungeon.
This kind of strength... is not something that players can defeat at all.
Is that the end
Liu Guangming wondered, would he become a ghost after he died
No wonder no one has cleared this copy. That’s because as long as someone dies on the ship, they will become undead. The more people die, the more undead there are.
However, there is competition between players, and everyone needs to get other people's points into their own hands. Even if a strong player will not kill people, if the player's score is low, he cannot pay the boat fee and will die.
It can be said that the players will eventually end up killing each other, and only a few will survive to the end.
And in the end, even if the player has a high score, the undead will attack at the last moment...
Can players really clear this copy
There was a lot of chaos around, and it seemed like someone was talking about something.
Liu Guangming turned his head and wanted to look at the members of his union to pass the message to them.
But for some reason, there seemed to be another figure in front of me...
With a "clang" sound.
The bone claw that was inserted into his heart moved away with a "swish", and the whole skeleton slammed into the wall with a "bang", directly smashing a thin hole in the wall.
As the bone claw left, Liu Guangming spat out another mouthful of blood.
[Ding—Players [Jie Fangcheng] and [Liu Guangming] defeated the cruise ship ghosts and received a numerical reward of 100. ]
Following the system prompt, the blood color that had been covering Liu Guangming's eyes faded away, and the distorted figures around him became clearer. In his ears, anxious and familiar calls rang out.
"President! President, are you okay?"
"Old Liu, what's wrong with you? What happened just now?"
"Hurry up, take the medicine!"
Liu Guangming coughed and took a big gulp of medicine from the bottle next to his mouth.
The system medicine cured the disease immediately, and Liu Guangming's wounds recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His eyes rolled and he quickly understood what had just happened.
"Where is that... Brother Jie?"
Just now, the skeleton was hit and flew away by a stick. It was obvious which player among the players present could hit a BOSS away by a stick.
Jie Fangcheng! This guy is really that amazing!
And he helped him!! He is indeed a player of Ronghua!!
Liu Guangming's eyes were filled with tears.
After the skeleton was blown away, Jie Fangcheng also received a system notification with a score of 100, so Jie Fangcheng opened the door of the restaurant, took off his shoes and chased after him.
As a result, he had just chased for two steps when he vaguely heard the sound of someone falling into the water from the direction of the skeleton.
"Damn! How come you're running so fast?!"
Jie Fangcheng was depressed.
Although the points are of no use to him, they are still useful to other players in Ronghua.
If everyone gets 10,000 or 20,000 points, wouldn't everyone be able to move forward with him or without him? He would then be able to follow suit and not have to compete with other players for points.
pity.
Jie Fangcheng sighed, seeing that he could not catch up with the undead, so he could only carry the stick and go back to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Liu Guangming was describing in vivid detail what had just happened, how he was rescued from the brink of life and death, how terrifying the cruise ship ghosts were, and how powerful they were. Everyone must not let their scores become zero, otherwise they would be seeking death.
Just then, the door was opened again.
Everyone turned their heads and Jie Fangcheng walked in.
Liu Guangming was moved: "Boss Jie..."
Look at her unique temperament, look at her distinctive appearance, look at her... uh, why is she putting on her shoes while walking
Xie Fangcheng put on his flip-flops, looked into Liu Guangming's eyes, and closed the door again.
This time, Jie Fangcheng not only closed the door, he also locked it directly to prevent any undead or ghosts from coming and causing trouble without warning.
Liu Guangming came back to his senses and said, "Thank you, Boss Jie, for saving me just now!"
"Okay, okay." Jie Fangcheng slammed the stick into the ground and said, "Pay the money."
"..." Liu Guangming looked dazed, "What do you want to hand over?"
"Scores, don't you have 100 points?" Jie Fangcheng said, and then suddenly realized, "Yes, you still have to give me props worth another 5 million points."
"Why??"
"Because I just saved you." Jie Fangcheng has a good temper. "If you don't give it to me, I will beat you to death like that skeleton just now."
Liu Guangming: “…”
Liu Guangming's voice trembled: "You... aren't you from Ronghua? You Ronghua... you Ronghua, what's going on now?"
Ronghua really started to collect money
Xie Fangcheng smiled: "We have just determined a new development concept."
“… What concept?”
"On the premise of adhering to the 'community with a shared future for mankind', let some people get rich first," said Xie Fangcheng.
.
While Jie Fangcheng was realizing the idea of "letting some people get rich first", the only player who did not pay the boat fee and eventually escaped came to the bathroom again.
Sun Ting.
The player who had traded her own flesh with the NPC and finally got the promise of two octopuses was now anxiously looking for the NPC named Zhang Min who took her to find the two octopuses that day.
Sun Ting remembered very clearly that when Zhang Min talked about the two octopuses that liked to eat the flesh of the guests, her expression was disgusted and nauseous.
Including later, Sun Ting seemed to vaguely see that Zhang Min's eyes were sharp and cold.
It's like they have hatred towards these non-human NPCs.
This Zhang Min looks like a human being, maybe there is a way to save her!
Sun Ting thought so and called Zhang Min's name anxiously in a low voice while searching.
She was lucky. Not long after she arrived near the bathroom, Zhang Min appeared in front of her.
She was stunned when she saw Sun Ting.
"What's the matter?"
Sun Ting quickly and briefly recounted what had just happened. Zhang Min pondered for a moment and shook his head.
"They can sense the location of passengers who haven't paid for the boat. Even if you run to the fifth floor, they can still find you."
"What should I do?" Sun Ting was very anxious. "I don't have anything valuable on me, so I can't ask that powerful person for help! I only have this body of flesh and blood. Can you help me convince those two guards? I'm willing to pay any price!"
She is not like many players who think that Ronghua should pay as a matter of course. When she heard that Ronghua wanted to collect protection money, she thought that "this union has changed" and "Ronghua's people are too much".
Sun Ting is very sober.
In any copy, if someone is willing to lend a helping hand to you and save your life, let alone paying props worth millions of points, even if you pay a higher price, it would be a great honor to be able to save your life.
So when Jie Fangcheng asked for props, Sun Ting would be the first one to hand them over unless he really couldn't produce them.
But she didn't.
Sun Ting’s strength is very average. She survived last year’s national dungeon only because of luck.
This year has been difficult.
She was very clear that she was just an ordinary person, and being able to struggle and survive until now was a blessing in disguise.
But luck is something that not everyone has.
Sun Ting didn't expect that six years after she entered the game, her sister also entered the game.
Her sister is just a 17-year-old high school student. When Sun Ting died, she was still a crybaby. Now she has grown into a graceful young lady.
Sun Ting knew that she would most likely not be able to clear the national copy, so when the president and his men wanted to enter the fifth-level copy, Sun Ting hesitated for a moment and agreed, hoping to get more items with good attributes in this copy.
Before she came in, she transferred all the valuable props and points to her sister, for fear that she would not be able to clear this level 5 copy. Without her, her sister who had just entered the game could also use these props to clear her first national copy.
When Jie Fangcheng asked for protection money, Sun Ting did not beg for mercy, hoping that he would show leniency to her.
She knew very well that being willing to accept "protection fees" was already too soft-hearted and too kind. Paying such a small amount could save her life, but then bargaining with others and trying to kidnap the strong by using the posture of a weak person was not only disgusting, but also very confused.
Sun Ting knew that she was weak... but no matter how weak she was, there should still be a way to survive, right
So while the two octopus guards were dealing with other players, Sun Ting quickly escaped.
She could only take a gamble.
When she said these words, Zhang Min in front of her looked at her with a flickering expression.
"Any price you're willing to pay?"
"Yes!" Sun Ting said without hesitation.
She could sense that the two guards seemed to be approaching.
She had never come into contact with any other NPCs on this cruise ship, except Zhang Min in front of her. Maybe she could find some way to deal with her.
Zhang Min asked: "Do you still have the medicine you drank that day?"
Sun Ting was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Yes!"
"Give me a bottle."
Sun Ting exchanged three or four bottles of medicine and handed them to her without saying a word.
Zhang Min was a little surprised by her frankness, but also extremely satisfied.
Sun Ting’s ability is average, but she is very capable and smart.
At the very least, she knew what attitude a person asking for help should have.
Zhang Min seemed to have a vague feeling that she knew some people in the past who were still arrogant when they asked them for help, which made her very uncomfortable.
Sun Ting's attitude makes people feel comfortable.
After Zhang Min took the medicine, he took out a very strange object that looked like an eyeball from his pocket.
"Eat it."
Sun Ting took it and swallowed it in one gulp without saying a word.
She knew very well that the only one she could rely on now was the NPC in front of her.
If I still don't believe her at this time, then I shouldn't have come here.
As soon as she swallowed the "eyeball", two guards appeared at the end of the corridor.
Without saying a word, Zhang Min pushed Sun Ting to the ground.
"Come quickly!" Zhang Min said to the two guards, "This woman is so stupid. She just came to me for help!"
Sun Ting was stunned, then immediately struggled.
Damn... Did I really believe it wrongly
That’s right, no matter how much these NPCs look like humans... they are not humans!
The two guards approached rapidly, and as they came closer step by step, they gradually shed their human skin and transformed once again into two terrifying giant octopuses.
"Fuck! He ran quite far!"
One of the tentacles hit Sun Ting on the head, causing her chest to cave in and her internal organs to be displaced.
Another octopus stopped him, saying, "That's enough. This is the only complete one. The captain is waiting to enjoy it!"
Zhang Min smiled: "You two have worked so hard, and this woman has the ability to heal herself, so why don't you eat something first?"
The octopus guards looked at each other, obviously very tempted by this proposal.
Zhang Min took out a bottle of medicine.
"She thought I would save her just now, and she gave me a bottle of this medicine as a reward. Just let her breathe, and then feed her the medicine after she finishes eating."
"Zhang... Min!" Sun Ting coughed up blood.
Because of the displacement of her internal organs, her whole body looked swollen. At this moment, she used all her strength to throw the dagger in her hand, and it hit the floor in front of Zhang Min.
Zhang Min laughed contemptuously.
The two octopus guards were in a good mood. They surrounded Sun Ting and pulled her hands and feet with their tentacles.
"ah!!"
Although she was dying, the immense pain still made Sun Ting scream.
Her limbs were put into the octopus's mouth, chewed and then taken out, leaving only broken bones.
The two octopuses laughed as they watched her scream and roll on the ground in agony after losing her limbs. They were not in a hurry to eat the rest of her flesh. Instead, they happily admired her miserable condition and then dug out other organs bit by bit.
After finally eating, the octopus guard burped.
"Okay, give her the medicine. The captain can't wait..."
With a "swish" sound.
Zhang Min endured until now, finally picked up the dagger on the ground, took two steps to the octopus guard, and stabbed the dagger straight into the top of one of the guards' heads.
In the past, no matter how soft the skin of these monsters looked, it was impossible to cut it.
But at this moment, Zhang Min looked powerless, holding the dagger as if she was cutting vegetables, and the dagger in her hand seemed to be stabbing into soft mud.
"Roar!!"
The octopus twisted its body, staring at Zhang Min with resentful eyes, and its tentacles viciously wrapped around Zhang Min's neck.
But when the tentacles exerted force, they slowly collapsed as if they could not bear their own power. Their skin became very transparent and soon turned into a pool of blood mud on the ground.
"Zhang Min!!" the octopus roared.
Zhang Min looked at it.
"When you were trapped in the fishing net, it was my father who cut the net and freed you."
Zhang Min stared at the two piles of rotten octopus on the ground, her pupils dark as she asked quietly, "On the day we ate him...how could you smile and say that his meat was too old...and not tasty?"
