After Retiring From the Underworld, I Entered an Infinite Game

Chapter 123: Universal copy

Views:

So Wei Yuan led a group of people out of the restaurant and rushed to the Chaoyang Trade Union Building without stopping.

When he arrived at the Chaoyang Trade Union Building, Wei Yuan was stunned at first.

The scene he had imagined of Jie Fangcheng and the other two being surrounded by players did not appear. On the contrary, the three of them were standing at the entrance of Chaoyang Labor Union, and next to them was a huge gap leading to the underground that seemed to have been opened by some artillery shell, and could accommodate five or six people.

This basement was thought of by Zhang Daoan when the three of them were about to leave and he turned his head to look at the top floor and thought for a moment.

"Ji Chaoyang usually likes to stay on the top floor. Does Ji Ge like it too?"

The personalities of these two brothers are quite different. Would someone like Ji Chaoyang be willing to share his space with others

This question is easy to verify. Jie Fangcheng directly opened his friend list and asked Tong Xinxin in private chat.

Tong Xinxin was unwilling to betray Ji Chaoyang because Ji Chaoyang still had a very good image in her heart.

But Ji Ge is different. This vice president is notorious and Tong Xinxin hates him very much.

So when Jie Fangcheng asked, Tong Xinxin provided very detailed information without hesitation.

"Ji Ge is usually mysterious. It is said that he has his own office space in the basement of the labor union. However, his basement is very hidden and you can't go down from the elevator."

What does that matter

After Jie Fangcheng came down, he turned around and indeed did not find the entrance to the basement, so he simply took out his sword and smashed it to the ground.

On the first floor, under the vigilant and panicked gazes of the Chaoyang Labor Union members, the thick floor collapsed, revealing a bit of the basement.

Shocked.

Not only was it shocking to see Jie Fangcheng swinging his sword and slashing the floor, but the thing underneath the floor was even more shocking.

Because Ji Chaoyang and Ji Ge could not be contacted at the moment, the message they sent out quickly turned into an email. It looked like they were going to a dungeon together, and Yue Chen became the person in charge of the overall situation in the Chaoyang Union.

He originally thought that Jie Fangcheng was just a slightly stronger player. No matter how strong he was, the strength of Chaoyang Guild was there, and there was no need for Ji Chaoyang, the number one player, to step in. Just them could deal with Jie Fangcheng. But when Yue Chen received one "unbeatable" message after another, he knew that this person was not that simple.

It's not that simple. It's impossible to let other members of the union step forward and fight to the death.

This is a horror game. Chaoyang Union is just a union after all. Players join the union to gain benefits, not to fight for the union.

When the strength of the opponent is unknown, the union members will rush forward to attack. Now that Jie Fangcheng's strength has been revealed, letting everyone rush forward is not only unrealistic, but it is also easy to directly defeat the union.

Then we can only avoid the spotlight temporarily.

Yue Chen gritted his teeth and posted a message on the union channel, asking everyone to step back and not be beaten to death by Jie Fangcheng.

This person can't find Ji Chaoyang, but he won't just fire everyone in the union, right

But soon, Yue Chen regretted his decision.

Damn, who would have thought that this Jie guy looked like he was just taking a walk, but when he reached the door, he suddenly jumped up and split the ground with two swords.

The floor was so solid! It was made of materials bought from the system store and designed by professional players. But it was like tofu dregs in his hands. He made a horizontal and vertical sword attack, and with a loud rumble, it was physically blasted, revealing the basement in full view of everyone.

Yue Chen certainly knew that Ji Ge liked to stay in the basement, and he also vaguely knew that there were many of Ji Ge’s “collections” in the basement.

Just by looking at the fact that this guy likes to collect the remnants of NPCs, you can tell that he really has some shameful hobbies, and these hobbies are certainly not limited to NPCs.

The reason why the Golden Leopard Team became enemies with him was because this man insisted on lowering the clearance rate of the dungeon and killed members of the Golden Leopard Team.

He doesn't even care about the players at the top of the leaderboard. He kills them whenever he wants. It's easy to imagine how many collections of ordinary players he has in his basement that he thinks he doesn't need to care about at all.

Under the red light, two rows of key NPC's body parts were soaked in formalin solution, and outside the two rows of round glass containers, there were countless exhibition stands.

Some of the exhibits on the stand were attributeless pieces of blood-stained clothing, while others were props that were too distinctive to be taken out and used.

Just like the remains of the NPCs, the origins of each collection are also marked on these exhibition stands.

Some of them had offended Ji Ge in the dungeon and were targeted by him, but most of them were just unlucky.

So many exhibits representing Ji Ge's sins were arranged there, exposed to everyone, and the players of Chaoyang Guild were also in an uproar.

Yue Chen was almost getting anxious, and quickly issued a new order: kick out Jie Fangcheng and the other two!

He is indeed not a managerial talent, and this order is simply kicking Chaoyang Union into the fire pit again.

Are you unwilling to kick these three people out? Isn't that because your strength doesn't allow it

Only a few players who were loyal to the guild rushed up again. Jie Fangcheng struck out with a sword, and several people flew backwards again, and some even fell directly into the basement.

The person who fell in originally wanted to say something, but after seeing the words marked on the booths up close, he stood there in a daze. After a while, he left the Chaoyang Union without saying a word, and quietly crawled out of the gap and left.

There were not only players from Chaoyang Union in the hall of Chaoyang Union. When Jie Fangcheng and his team split the floor and revealed such a big hole, many players who were not from Chaoyang Union also saw it.

Considering the reputation of Chaoyang Labor Union, no one dared to say anything, but everyone's eyes were fixed and fingers were pointing, obviously sharing the legendary scenes they experienced today with their relatives and friends.

Therefore, when Wei Yuan and his men arrived, everyone was ready for battle, but they soon discovered that this preparation was completely unnecessary.

It's so peaceful.

The entire hall seemed to have been paused. Jie Fangcheng and the other two stood next to the hole. Opposite them, players would sneak closer from time to time, look down curiously, and then point their fingers wildly, reporting the current situation to more players like wild reporters.

The members of Chaoyang Labor Union had complicated expressions on their faces and stood quietly not far away. Some of those who had good relationships gathered together automatically and whispered to each other.

Only Yue Chen, who arrived in a hurry, was screaming "Ouch" - the driving force behind the "clean-up operation" was the Chaoyang Labor Union. No one knew what Ji Chaoyang and Ji Ge were busy with recently. After issuing a task, there was no news after that. Yue Chen was basically in charge of the entire matter.

So he wasn't in the Guild Building, he was in the Players' Hall, ready to officiate.

Yue Chen and his team had a great plan, mobilizing the power of so many players to eliminate Rong Hua and Jie Fang Cheng together. But who knew that a murderer would suddenly appear and single-handedly start the first big melee among the player group.

Chaoyang Federation of Trade Unions is the largest trade union. Apart from other things, it has no fewer enemies than other trade unions.

So when everyone was in the melee, Yue Chen and his group originally tried to be peacemakers, hoping to appease everyone by relying on the name of Chaoyang Labor Union, but they were soon also drawn into the war.

When he was finally able to extricate himself, Jie Fangcheng had already broken into the basement, and the scenery in the basement was being watched by everyone.

His feelings towards the union were naturally not comparable to those of an ordinary union member, so at this moment, Yue Chen didn't think twice and rushed over to jump down to destroy the evidence. Anyway, as long as he was not seen with his own eyes, the forum belonged to the Chaoyang Union, and there would be many opportunities to reverse the union's image in the future.

But if he wanted to go down, he had to ask Jie Fangcheng, who was standing by, whether he agreed.

Jie Fangcheng didn't say a word, and Yue Chen, who was rushing over, was knocked away before he could get close to him.

Jie Fangcheng didn't hold back much strength against this man, he just controlled himself and didn't kill him outright. Yue Chen flew backwards and hit the ground, screaming "ouch ouch" in pain. This became the only sound in the entire scene.

At this time, Wei Yuan and his team arrived and quickly provided a second voice.

"Oh my god! What are these things? Was it Ji Ge who did this?"

"Is he sick? Why did he force the key NPC out? What good will it do him?"

"Damn, look at those booths, every one of them is full of players that Ji Ge has harmed. He really is a scumbag!"

"Ji Ge's exhibition room is so ostentatiously placed in the basement of Chaoyang Labor Union. Did the Chaoyang Labor Union know about this a long time ago? Do they also support this anti-human behavior?"

The players of Chaoyang Guild felt that they were wronged. They did not join Chaoyang Guild to become brothers with people like Ji Ge. They came here just for the title of the number one guild.

As a result, the pervert Ji Ge did this in the basement of the union, and so many people watched it. The expressions on everyone's faces were very interesting, and some even simply quit the union.

Ning Suisui looked inside the gap, and soon her expression froze and she jumped down.

Among hundreds of booths, Ning Suisui had a clear goal and quickly walked to the booth where a pen was placed.

[Serial number: 85]

[Copy: Wind and Rain Academy]

[Survival rate: 32%]

[Player: Du Feichi]

[Note: Is there something wrong with the Golden Leopard's brain? What does it have to do with him if I kill someone else? You are looking for death! ]

This line of remarks was later crossed out by a red line, and another line of words replaced it below.

[Die, die, die, all the people of Golden Leopard, die! ]

When the eighth member of the Golden Leopard Squad died in Ji Ge's house, Ji Chaoyang wanted to shake hands with Ning Suisui and make peace with him sincerely, either for the reputation of the union or to win over the Golden Leopard Squad. He also forced Ji Ge to apologize to Ning Suisui, but Ning Suisui almost chopped Ji Ge to death.

Seeing her companion's relics at this time, Ning Suisui smashed the glass of the booth with red eyes and held the pen in her hand.

Soon, she calmed down and came out from the gap, showing the pen in her hand to the members of the Golden Leopard Squad.

"It's Xiao Fei's [The Pen Falls to Shock the Gods]."

Immediately, some in the Golden Leopard Squad cursed angrily, while others lowered their heads to wipe their tears.

Many players know that there is a conflict between the Golden Leopard Squad and Ji Ge, but most people are not clear about the cause of the conflict.

Seeing Ning Suisui's reaction, the onlookers on the other side of the gap immediately understood.

After a while, many players who heard about this came over, but since the murderer Lang Gu was standing there, not many people dared to move forward. They all stretched their necks and even carried each other to look at the basement.

Wei Yuan was a kind-hearted man. When he saw the large basement, he couldn't help cursing. After cursing, he looked at Zhang Daoan.

"Why do we have to pay to visit? Can't it be free?"

Zhang Daoan shook his head: "The freer something is, the less welcome it is."

Other players may not feel much about what he said, but everyone in Ronghua knows it very well.

After all, it has been free for so many years, and Wei Yuan has now experienced the disadvantages of being free. Seeing how Ronghua was struggling in the past, and then looking at him now, he is getting a lot of props, and other players have to thank them after leaving the dungeon, and each of their thanks is much more sincere than before.

Therefore, when Zhang Daoan said this, Wei Yuan didn't say much, but nodded: "Then what should we do?"

"Okay!" Wei Yuan went to do it without saying anything.

Yue Chen, who was beaten and groaning continuously, barely managed to get up from the ground. He endured the severe pain in his body and limped over with the help of the players around him.

"Wait a moment!"

He looked at Jie Fangcheng with a complicated expression, but finally thought of a solution that he thought was suitable.

"Our vice president was wrong in this matter. We are willing to compensate!"

After saying this, Nie Shuangshuang immediately took out her weapon.

"Yue Chen, are you fucking crazy? Open your eyes and look at the things in the basement! Can this be overturned by compensation? It's fine for players to attack each other in the dungeon to survive, but Ji Ge kills people just for his own fun! Defending such a person? Why are you so shameless now?"

Yue Chen was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly turned red.

He always felt that although he was not a good person like Ronghua, he was not a bad person either.

Ji Ge wanted to bring the key NPC out. He had advised him countless times about this matter, but to no avail. Yue Chen could only work hard on the strategies for the dungeons that brought out the key NPCs, striving to ensure that the players who bought the strategies could at least rely on them to get through the dungeons without the key NPCs.

Regardless of the results, he tried his best and felt at ease.

At this moment, Nie Shuangshuang yelled like this, Yue Chen could only smile bitterly: "You don't understand..."

"I understand what you guys are doing? Do you need other players to understand what you guys are doing?"

Yue Chen heard several more notifications of players quitting the union.

He sighed heavily and suddenly turned to face the players behind him.

"Everyone! I know you have doubts about the vice president... about Ji Ge's actions, but this is all for all the players! He brought out the key NPC of the first-level dungeon not to satisfy his own selfish desires, but to increase everyone's dungeon clearance rate!"

The players listened in confusion, but those who were quick to react understood immediately.

Yue Chen deliberately emphasized that it was a level one dungeon. After clearing the level one dungeon several times, most players would have the strength to challenge the level two and level three dungeons and would not continue to struggle in the level one dungeon.

These first-level dungeons that have been taken out of the key NPCs, the players' survival rate will obviously be greatly reduced without the NPCs... But what does this have to do with old players? They won't go through the first-level dungeons.

But if the survival rate of the first-level dungeons decreases, will the survival rates of other levels of dungeons increase

Even though everyone is calling Ji Ge a pervert, many people actually don’t take it seriously.

After all, it won’t hurt if the knife doesn’t fall on your body.

When Yue Chen said this, some players actually showed a look of relief on their faces.

At this moment, Zhang Daoan suddenly said, "Who told you that if the clearance rate of the first-level dungeon is reduced, the clearance rate of dungeons of other levels will increase?"

Yue Chen was stunned.

He figured this out on his own and secretly asked Ji Chaoyang about it.

After hearing what Zhang Daoan said, Yue Chen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

How did Ji Chaoyang know about this

Zhang Daoan looked at him and then looked at the basement.

On the silent first floor of Chaoyang Guild, more and more players who came to watch heard his voice.

"President Ji is indeed extraordinary. How could he know such a secret? Could he be the game manufacturer?" Zhang Daoan glanced around, "But President Ji knows that lowering the clearance rate of the first-level dungeon can increase the clearance rate of dungeons at other levels. I wonder if he knows other secrets, such as how to lower the clearance rate of other players and increase your own clearance rate... Otherwise, why is he so confident that he is about to launch a national dungeon and even brought his brother into the dungeon."

Ji Chaoyang went into the dungeon. This was really easy to guess.

If he were still outside and saw such a scene, with his brain, he would not let a player like Yue Chen take charge of the situation.

Yue Chen has been doing things that harm himself and benefit others since he came to the Chaoyang Labor Union, constantly passing out all kinds of evidence. If Ji Chaoyang was outside, he would have rushed over and hacked him to death.

When Zhang Daoan said this, the players had different expressions.

Game cheats.

This term was proposed by Ji Chaoyang and attributed to Jie Fangcheng. There is no evidence for this, only rumors in posts.

But now Ji Ge’s basement really exists. Ji Chaoyang allowed his brother to bring out the key NPC of the first-level copy, and according to Yue Chen, this behavior was to reduce the clearance rate of the first-level copy, thereby improving other copies - how did Ji Chaoyang know

Thanks to the Chaoyang Labor Union’s constant brainwashing during this period, everyone’s first reaction now is “Could Ji Chaoyang be a game plug-in? Otherwise, how would he know such a core thing?”

Plus, this guy had always been so strong that he seemed like he was in a different dimension from other players. Comparing the two, it was obvious who was more like a game cheat.

Taking advantage of the evidence handed over by Yue Chen, Zhang Daoan returned the title of "plug-in" to Ji Chaoyang intactly in just two sentences.

Yue Chen opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he really couldn't utter a word of defense.

This basement is deadly.

But no one had thought that this basement would be exposed.

After all, this is right below the Chaoyang Labor Union building! As the No. 1 labor union, Chaoyang Labor Union is well-known. Who dares to act so recklessly here

It was for this reason that Ji Chaoyang indulged Ji Ge's habit of collecting.

Soon, the players who could draw that Wei Yuan had found rushed over. After seeing the basement, these painters were filled with indignation and said that they would be able to draw quickly and well, and would act as human cameras to preserve the scene in front of them exactly as it was.

There were many painters, but even more booths, so it was obvious that this would take a while to paint.

"So what do we do now?"

Zhang Daoan glanced at the time.

"Wait, then."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Ji Chaoyang and see when this coward dares to come out."

This wait lasted three days.

In three days, the album "Records of the Chaoyang Labor Union Basement" was published and distributed. These booths were not just hanging around, each booth represented an innocent player who died tragically. Among these players, there might not be well-known players like the Golden Leopard Team who were at the top of the leaderboard, but some of them had friends and relatives. Those props were evidence of their survival and also evidence of Ji Ge's guilt.

After three days of continuous discussion on the forum, the number of Chaoyang Union members dropped below 100, and many of the remaining people were still in the dungeon, not knowing what was happening outside.

It is really a big question whether they will stay in the current Chaoyang Guild after they finish the copy.

A lot of money was made from ticket sales in three days. Ten thousand points was something that any player who had completed the game a few more times could afford. Just by looking at the points collected, Wei Yuan could guarantee that more than ten thousand of the existing players had visited the basement - the floor of the entire hall on the first floor had been removed and replaced with glass panels produced by the system, which was very convenient for visiting.

The Chaoyang Labor Union is notorious and is widely criticized on forums.

The only flaw was that Ji Chaoyang and Ji Ge never showed up.

Until the national copy was opened, all the booths were moved directly to the player lobby for all players coming and going to admire.

"Damn you son of a bitch!"

Wei Yuan couldn't help but curse, and after he finished, everyone waved goodbye to Jie Fangcheng.

The number of times Jie Fangcheng and Zhang Daoan had cleared the dungeon was too low, not enough to enter the fifth-level dungeon for all people.

However, only the fifth-level dungeon allows people to freely choose to form a team. Everyone has agreed that Jie Fangcheng and his team will enter the national dungeon first and try to pass it as soon as possible.

Wei Yuan and his companions who can choose the fifth-level version will enter later. It would be best if Jie Fangcheng comes out after they enter.

In this way, Wei Yuan and his companions can use the summoning props to summon Jie Fangcheng to help them pass the level. After all, although it is great to receive the props, Wei Yuan and his companions' strength is not enough to pass the fifth level.

Not only were they saying goodbye, Nie Shuangshuang's eyes were red as she also saw Ning Suisui and the others off.

Ning Suisui knew that [Reincarnation Experience] could not bring one back to the present world.

"But there's nothing we can do. A new friend I met told me that my mother is in the hospital with advanced cancer." Ning Suisui stood together with the players of the Golden Leopard Team. Ning's mother adopted them and worried about these kids, but they all died in a car accident when they were in the first year of high school.

"Even if it's fake, then... the fake Ning Sui Sui should also conform to my behavior logic, right? If I can make her happy at the last moment, it will be worth it."

All members of the Golden Leopard Squad thought so.

This is a copy where death is inevitable, but it doesn’t matter as long as Ning Suisui can be saved.

Nie Shuangshuang didn't expect that they had such a plan. After crying and sending her companions away, she hesitated for a moment and simply transferred her core skill [Heart of Fire] through the system.

This is also a special "benefit" during the national copy period. You can use a large number of points to transfer your skills to other players, but these skills will be downgraded after being transferred.

Ning Suisui had said that in order to pass the [Reincarnation Experience], she would definitely need ranking skills, so she was working so hard.

Nie Shuangshuang didn't know whether her downgraded ranking skill still had this effect, but if there was a chance that it could help a friend, it didn't matter.

She came back with red eyes and just caught the end of sending Jie Fangcheng and others into the dungeon.

"Brother Jie, please come out earlier!" Nie Shuangshuang waved reluctantly.

Jie Fangcheng nodded and placed his hand on the transmission screen.

Soon, there was a flash of white light.

Jie Fangcheng was startled when he opened his eyes.

He lowered his head and said "Huh" in confusion.
