What kind of person is Tan Laoban? Why does he have the ability to bring people back to life? This has been a question that has troubled Ning Buwen for several years.
It was not until Ning Buwen became a Pandora player and learned the secret of Pandora's reincarnation that he got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of Boss Tan's unfathomable nature.
If you were to ask Ning Buwen, "What does death feel like?" I probably wouldn't be able to answer.
Unlike now, Ning Buwen was quite afraid of pain when he was sixteen.
After learning of Ping Buguan's death, Ning Buwen ignored An Lele's dissuasion, bought "painkillers", and then went to the banquet with the simplest assembled dagger.
This was taught to him by those cheating players in the competition.
By breaking down the most low-tech things into the most common ornaments and wearing them on your body, you can escape those high-tech searches. People are used to all kinds of high-tech weapons and sometimes tend to ignore the most common threats around them.
The effect of the painkiller was better than expected. When Ning Buwen fell in a pool of blood, he only felt a little cold, a bone-chilling cold.
Blood trickled out of his body, and his body temperature gradually became colder. Everyone around him was busy running away and screaming, and no one came forward to see what the fallen murderer looked like. What if he counterattacked before dying
Ning Buwen looked at these people, only to feel that their figures gradually blurred in his eyes, and their voices almost faded away.
This should be the biggest and last adventure of my life.
The goddess of luck was indeed on my side. The problems that the international police couldn't solve were solved by me single-handedly.
Haha. Haha.
Tick. Tick.
Huh
Where does the sound of water come from
Ning Buwen's eyes were completely dark. To put it scientifically, he was probably on the verge of death and could hardly see.
The feeling of death was approaching step by step, and Ning Buwen's consciousness was also at the end of his life. He knew clearly that his body should be dead. However, along with the sound of water, something new seemed to appear in the dark world.
Boss Tan suddenly appeared in his sight.
What, what happened
The people around were still as disorderly as before, but they seemed to have not noticed Boss Tan at all. They were minding their own business, as if there was no such person as Boss Tan at all.
"Remember I once told you that I wanted to make a bet with you?" Boss Tan and Ning Buwen were not actually very close to each other, but his voice clearly reached Ning Buwen's ears.
What to bet on
Ning Buwen was speechless and could only stare at Boss Tan.
"Let's bet on whether I can let you live." Boss Tan casually brought a glass of wine over and looked down at Ning Buwen who was lying in a pool of blood. "How about it, do you want to bet?"
If it weren't for the wrong scene, Ning Buwen would have wanted to laugh.
In his current state, he could be considered dead, but I don't know why he still has a little consciousness left.
He will definitely win this bet.
"Since you agree, let's start our bet." Boss Tan said with a smile, "If you have money to buy your life now, how much do you think your life is worth in one year?"
Worth at least 100 million!
Ning Buwen thought so in his heart.
"One hundred million? All right, that's our stake." Boss Tan laughed and clapped his hands. "One hundred million every year. The longer you live, the more I'll make."
This guy must be crazy.
Ning Buwen couldn't help but think so.
I hope the god of death will come and find him soon. He doesn’t want to see such a strange person when he dies.
Tick. Tick.
There was that dripping sound again.
Ning Buwen just felt dizzy and his body was in great pain.
Wait, it hurts
Didn’t I take painkillers? Why does it hurt
"When you open your eyes again, you will know the result of the bet between you and me." Boss Tan seemed to sigh, "It's a bit of a waste of my wine. Originally, I wanted to give it to another person, but unfortunately he only wanted to kill me."
Ning Buwen completely lost consciousness.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already accumulated a debt of 100 million yuan and returned to his home.
…
"I don't know who he is, but he said that he was able to save me because he used a prop card that could bring the dead back to life." Ning Buwen looked at Cheng Yuxue, "He said that he originally wanted to give his wine to another person, but that person just wanted to kill him. You know Boss Tan, right? Then, is the person he was talking about you?"
After finishing his own story, it was Cheng Yuxue's turn.
Ning Buwen has known Boss Tan for quite a long time. Although he only sees him once a year, he thinks he has some understanding of this mysterious Boss Tan.
Boss Tan only mentioned one person's name in front of Ning Bushe, and that person was Cheng Yuxue.
"Maybe, I forgot." Cheng Yuxue tilted his head and thought for a while, "But I do think he looks familiar. If there really is a person who can bring the dead back to life in front of me, then my first thought should be to kill him."
"Why?" Ning Buwen couldn't understand the logic.
If there really is someone who can be brought back to life, then it would be normal to have a good relationship with this person no matter what.
Doesn't Cheng Yuxue have any friends or relatives? He must have a few people who want to be resurrected.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. I have become what I am now because of my immortality. If he really has the ability to bring the dead back to life, then he must be crazier than me. One world cannot accommodate two lunatics with huge and powerful destructive abilities."
Cheng Yuxue spoke seriously with some ridiculous logic that made no sense.
But when I thought about what Cheng Yuxue said, it seemed to make some sense.
Cheng Yuxue has lived from the third generation to the present, and he must become what he is now in order to survive. So what kind of thoughts does Boss Tan, who is more capable than Cheng Yuxue and may live longer, have under his seemingly calm appearance
"You can try to imagine him as ten versions of me." Cheng Yuxue suggested with a smile.
Ten bloody journeys
Ning Buwen couldn't help but shiver.
Just thinking about this possibility, he suddenly had no intention of going against Boss Tan.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask about the past?" Ning Buwen quickly woke up from his memories and looked at Cheng Yuxue suspiciously, "Weren't we still talking about the banquet before?"
Cheng Yuxue stared at Ning Buwen for a long time.
Ning Buwen was staring at him so hard that he felt a little hairy all over.
"You, why are you looking at me like that?" Ning Bu Wen didn't feel shy at all when Cheng Yuxue stared at him like that. He just felt as if he was standing naked in front of him, which made him feel a little at a loss as to what to do.
"After coming back from the Dream Come True copy, you were very rude to me when you spoke to me." Cheng Yuxue gave Ning Buwen a gloomy look.
"Nonsense, I was obviously very polite to you." Ning would not admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"You can pamper me in private, but in front of others, you still have to call me king." Cheng Yuxue said helplessly as if he had suffered a great loss.
Thunder is rolling!
"Have you ever pampered me?" Ning Buwen got goosebumps when he heard this word.
Cheng Yuxue is very good at killing people without shedding blood. If this happens a few more times, he will probably be disgusted to death.
"Is the mermaid's tail beautiful?" Cheng Yuxue asked with a smile.
“It looks good.”
"You are the only one who is still alive who has seen my dark history." Cheng Yuxue continued to laugh, "Isn't this called pampering?"
I would rather not ask and remain speechless.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Ning Buwen said with a bow, "It is my fault that I was too presumptuous and failed to live up to your kindness, Your Majesty."
"You're welcome." Cheng Yuxue smiled and waved his hand, "It's good enough that you know clearly in your heart that I treat you differently. Don't let me down."
It's such a great honor.
After being interrupted by Cheng Yuxue, Ning Buwen could no longer remember what he wanted to ask.
Noah's Army.
"Dad." Solomon couldn't help but look up at his father, "Have you thought it through?"
He had been sitting for most of the day with his father, Ferdinand, the 67th-ranked senior player in the world.
Ferdinand was a nobleman before the end of the world, and he was also a powerful general in the army. He was good at fighting and had extraordinary wisdom. After the end of the world, he achieved even more dazzling results than before the end of the world. Now, he is also a well-known figure in the Noah Legion.
Ning Buwen sent over an invitation to the banquet so that Solomon could bring another person.
Solomon trusted no one except his father.
If Ning Buwen really had an affair with Cheng Yuxue, then in the entire Noah Army, only his father could give him a sense of security.
Coincidentally, Ferdinand also wanted to go with Solomon, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.
"I'd rather not go." Ferdinand sighed. Seeing his son's face full of disappointment, his tone became stern. "Solomon, you are my son, you shouldn't be afraid!"
Solomon pursed his lips, unable to utter a word in rebuttal.
He wasn't scared, he was just... just a little worried, that's all.
Facing Ning Buwen, Solomon was actually a little bit afraid.
Ning Buwen is like a mirror, which can clearly reflect his incompetence.
No matter how far he advanced, Ning Buwen always stood firmly in front of him, making it almost difficult for him to breathe.
Now that Ning Buwen was connected with Cheng Yuxue again, Solomon felt even more like a towering figure.
Must I live under Ning Buwen's shadow for the rest of my life
"Go, Solomon. You are alone and don't need to bring anyone with you." Ferdinand looked at his son seriously. "Go open your eyes and see the outside world and the people of Pangu Corps. After you come back from the banquet, I will recommend you to join the virtual reality exploration team."
"Dad!" Solomon was shocked. "Are you willing to recommend it to me?"
After the news of the virtual real copy leaked out, it caused a lot of waves in Noah's Legion. Countless people wanted to get in, but they all had to queue up.
Unlike the people in the Pangu Corps who wanted to break the props into pieces as soon as they got them, the people in the Noah Corps were more inclined to use the props first, and then break all the props into pieces after all the pieces were collected. As for the double price to be paid, the Pangu Corps and the Freedom Corps would naturally pay for it.
The props before the derivative fragments are transformed are of great help for passing dungeons and improving personal rankings. Not everyone can ignore such a great temptation and choose to turn the props into fragments in advance.
It’s just that the people in Pangu’s army are particularly “stupid” and don’t want to easily let the fragments be lost.
After all, no matter how good the props are, once the player dies in the dungeon, the props will disappear. If you want to find them again, it will take more than twice as much effort, right
"Dad, do you want to redeem the earth more?" Solomon was actually somewhat certain.
The top leaders of Noah's Legion are more inclined to choose a safe and harmless copy world for collective relocation rather than choosing to redeem the Earth.
Of course, collective relocation is not without risks.
Pandora reincarnates once every hundred years. What will become of the humans who move to the copy world after the copy is reset
But everything has risks.
The choice of redeeming the earth and completing the final dungeon has already failed seventeen generations of players, and their generation is more likely to repeat the same mistake.
Therefore, the top leaders of Noah's Legion tend to relocate more.
But undoubtedly, Ferdinand had his own ideas.
"If redeeming the Earth is not the best option, why did the previous seventeen generations of players choose this path?" Ferdinand asked lightly.
Solomon could hardly argue with that.
"If I stay here, the Noah Army will not be in chaos." Ferdinand looked at Solomon. "The virtual reality is very dangerous. Don't make a decision in a hurry. Go to the Pangu Army first and talk to Ning Buyen. You two probably haven't sat down and talked properly yet. Solomon, it's not a bad thing to have a player who is always ahead of you. You can think of him as a guide. When it's dark all around, he just needs to open a path to the light, and you can follow him and leave."
"Dad, you..."
"You go out first." Ferdinand was reluctant to say more, "If there is a chance, Pangu Corps is a good place to go."
By the end of his words, Ferdinand's voice had become very soft, and he even used the dialect of their hometown.
When Solomon heard the last part, he looked at his father in almost surprise.
What exactly does Dad mean by this
Free Corps.
Casso does not have as much freedom as Solomon. He can also bring one person with him, so the number will be decided by the collective vote of the Free Corps.
Finally, the Free Corps selected a player with gypsy ancestry and a witch physique to go with Cass.
This witch is best at casting invisible curses.
Ka Suo frowned, not really willing to take a player with this kind of physique with him. If someone died, it would be hard to explain to the Pangu Army. But the Army had already given the order, so Ka Suo had no choice but to accept it. He would just follow the witch player closely.
"Don't worry, I won't do anything rash." The witch secretly said to Ka Suo before leaving, "The people of Pangu Corps are not easy to mess with."
Casso looked at the witch in surprise. The witch was not willing to act rashly, but was sent out by the legion. Does this mean that the legion actually has different opinions on this banquet
No matter what, the witch's willingness to express this attitude has made Casso feel much more at ease. At least he doesn't have to worry about not returning from this banquet.
To be honest, Ka Suo didn't have much confidence in facing Ning Bu Wen. Although they had only dealt with each other once, Ning Bu Wen was undoubtedly the most difficult type to deal with. Ka Suo's ability could only be brought into play in the dungeon, but it was rather useless in reality.
The Noah Corps and the Freedom Corps had caused so much trouble and held so many emergency meetings for this small invitation. The Pangu Corps, on the other hand, was very happy and accommodating.
Each of the forty-nine legion commanders received an invitation, but not only did they not bring anyone with them, they themselves wanted to pretend that they had not received the invitation and did not want to go at all.
The banquet held by Cheng Yuxue was held on the land of the mental hospital where Cheng Yuxue worked. No matter how you look at it, these two things give people an extremely bad feeling.
Especially the several team leaders with messenger-like physiques, since they received the post, they have to curse a certain person who is tacitly known by everyone every day.
Those who squander nature's resources deserve to die!
They worked so hard and risked their lives to contract the monsters, but in the end someone wanted to eat these monsters
What is worrying is not the scarcity but the inequality.
God is so blind.
"I won't go. I have a lot of things to do." Wen Tianruo was the first to express his withdrawal.
Right now, all forty-nine legion commanders have gathered together for a meeting to deal with the invitation issue.
We must be extremely cautious about what Cheng Yuxue has done and deal with it with the highest level of emergency attitude.
Because you have no way of figuring out what a madman is thinking, if you don't handle this well, something big might happen.
"Brother, didn't you say that Cheng Yuxue recovered some of his memories and became more normal after killing the nightmare?" A certain leader couldn't help but ask Wen Tianruo, "But I don't see any signs that Cheng Yuxue has become normal."
"Negative one hundred plus one, negative ninety-nine is still a negative number." Si Nan glanced at Wen Tianruo, who was wearing men's clothes today, and explained politely, "You have too high expectations for Cheng Yuxue. I don't have any expectations at all. We should be grateful that he can send us an invitation so normally this time."
These words coming out of Sinan's mouth were surprisingly convincing
Everyone fell silent.
However, this silent atmosphere did not last long, and soon the legion commanders rushed to express their desire to ask for leave.
"I found a dungeon that can greatly help improve my physical fitness. I was planning to download the dungeon, but my schedule conflicts and I can't make it in time."
"My brother is getting married in the next two days, and I want to attend the wedding."
"I feel like my old illness has come back these days, so I may need to go to the hospital for treatment."
…
"Okay, stop making excuses." Wen Tianruo glanced at his teammates off the court and made the final decision.
"The general commander once said that if we encounter difficult decisions during his absence, we should draw lots to decide. This time, we will send ten people from our legion. Those who go should remember to pay attention to the movements of the Noah Legion and the Freedom Legion. It doesn't matter if we teach them a lesson when necessary, but we must not let them get close to Cheng Yuxue, otherwise you should be prepared for Cheng Yuxue to go crazy and kill people at the banquet."
The legion commanders off the field all had bitter faces.
After all, they have already risen to the position of group leader, but they have to fall to the point of being security guards at a banquet
No matter how wrong everything is, it’s all Cheng Yuxue’s fault!
On the day of the banquet, Ning Buwen always felt that his eyelids were twitching violently.
Not only was he the only one who was frightened, but all the members of the security team were also terrified, always feeling that something bad was going to happen.
These one or two cases are just coincidences, but if everyone is like this, it is definitely not a coincidence.
As soon as he opened the door in the morning, Ning Buwen saw the members of the security team, each with dark circles under their eyes, silently crowding at his door.
Ning Buwen felt his eyelids twitching even more. Could it be that the bad omen was about to happen to them
"Don't ask. We haven't slept well for several nights. Did you sleep well?" Xiao Si looked at Ning Bu Wen with a resentful face.
"It was okay before, but now it's not okay after seeing you guys." Ning Bu Wen answered seriously.
Seeing so many guys with dark circles under their eyes appearing at his doorstep so early in the morning scared him so much that he even lost his sleepiness.
"We keep feeling like something might go wrong at today's banquet. I haven't been this scared in years."
"Yes, yes. The king has been out since yesterday afternoon and has not returned yet. The king either doesn't cause any trouble, or if he does, he'll make it big. He has been out all night and hasn't come back. I can't sleep when I think about this. I always feel that it is possible that the king will chop me into small pieces and cook me with the monster meat during the banquet today."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"Woo woo woo, we have such a good relationship, you have to remember to collect our bodies."
What is this all about
Ning Buwen rubbed his forehead and tried to tell himself not to get angry with them. "No, I saw that the king was quite normal before. His temper is much better now. He will never cook you."
"Maybe sometimes, being boiled is actually a good thing. At least you die quickly without suffering."
Ning Buwen was just about to talk to them about the reason, for example, Cheng Yuxue would never kill people at will, but then a familiar voice rang out.
"You're all here? Perfect, the banquet is about to start, you can change into these clothes." Cheng Yuxue threw a large package over, "I went to the dungeon world yesterday and asked a special NPC to make these for you. Even without asking, you have to wear them, you'll like them."
ah
Ning didn't ask, he had a hunch that something was wrong, so he turned and ran.
"No way." Cheng Yuxue held Ning Buwen's shoulders tightly, making him unable to move. "You said you liked me, how can you go back on your word?"
The security guards opened the package with green faces.
Glittering and colorful.
Each piece is a work of art, enough to drive certain enthusiasts crazy.
However, no matter how beautiful the dress was, it was not enough to make them happy.
All of these are mermaid costumes.
Cheng Yuxue seemed to think that their worldview was not shaky enough, and said, "This is a mermaid costume with special effects. Even if you wear it, you can move freely, don't worry."
Security Team Member & Ning Buwen: We are not worried about this!
The author has something to say: I can start a new dungeon tomorrow after I finish writing the banquet.
I can still light a cigarette even if I can water it. Although you may not believe it, I have always been following the main line. Thank you to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
