Chapter 119: The Host and the Invitation
Chapter 119: The Host and the Invitation
The first task was to teach Wen Xishu to learn to abandon beauty and fantasy - well, actually there was no need to teach.
The second task is the same, learn to use the other party's desires to kill the other party.
Wen Xishu was thinking now that no matter what, he had to cooperate with the other party. The level boss might be the owner of this building, or one of the building owner's powerful subordinates.
In short, I can’t defeat this group of people now - that’s strange.
Wen Xishu thought about it and believed that if he used the Phoenix Gloves, there would be no problem in removing the electronic collar in theory.
But he doesn't plan to do that just yet.
"Now it seems that I have to fight for my freedom, pretend to be a zombie, and defeat other zombies or people pretending to be zombies... In this way, I can survive."
"The funny thing is, I chose to be the host. But I still ended up fighting for my freedom."
"So the two missions may have the same beginning. It's just that some choices I made in the middle led to a different transformation in me."
“But no matter what, we first need to figure out why they want humans to play zombies and fight against zombies.”
"Is it purely for excitement, or for money, or is it some kind of experiment? I have to figure this out. Only then can I find the root cause."
After traveling to the bunker, Wen Xishu learned one thing: don't do things at the pace required by the other party, but be more perverted and crazy.
We need to turn Tiangang upside down.
So Wen Xishu's current behavior is unusually cooperative.
When the makeup artist was applying zombie makeup to Wen Xishu, Wen Xishu also gave suggestions based on his own experience:
"The scar at the corner of the eye is very interesting. I think we can create one. Will the audience think about the origin of this scar when they see it?"
"Also, I think you can tie a few severed hands around my waist to increase my cruelty. You see, when people see these severed hands, will they think about why these severed hands exist?"
"At this point, the commentator started explaining that these severed hands were trophies. Did my aggressive and violent personality suddenly overflow the screen?"
"No, no, no, I suggest you use light colors instead of dark colors for this place, because that would make me look too corrupt and old-fashioned. It's like this, based on what I've seen, a zombie that eats meat regularly has a different Qi and blood than other zombies. Its skin won't even be the color of dead and decayed mud, but a healthy lavender. I suggest you change the color here. Because I'm playing a zombie that eats meat regularly, right?"
"Details, my friend, there must be details!"
Wen Xishu's guidance made the makeup artist want to escape.
Wen Xishu suddenly said:
"What do you think? Cut a hole in my mouth and let me smile. Why are you so serious?"
The makeup artist didn't want to say a word now, she just wanted to leave here quickly.
But Wen Xishu had no intention of letting the makeup artist go.
"I quite like it here. By the way, are our every move recorded by this electronic collar?"
"If I kill you now, hey, will I die?"
"What's your name?"
The makeup artist's lips trembled:
"My name is Jack."
"Your name is also Jack? I know a guy named Jack, and he likes to tear off people's faces and sew them on his own face. Oh, Jack, forget it. In order to distinguish you two, I will call you Ajie. Ajie, do you think we can learn from Jack?"
Wen Xishu looked at Jack:
"If I rip your face off and sew it on mine, that would make the story more interesting, wouldn't it?"
Ajie's legs went limp and he sat down on the ground.
At the same time, Wen Xishu finally saw the barrage.
Yes, this is the Weird Tower, and he can also use an ability - mental barrage.
[Oh God, this is a madman! Save me! ]
At this moment, Wen Xishu touched the barrage, and memories related to fear came back.
Ajie's memories began to play in Wen Xishu's mind.
But unfortunately, Ajie is just an NPC in the game and doesn't have many memories in his mind.
The memories that Wen Xishu obtained from Ajie's mind were not much different from the information provided by the blind war correspondent.
But one thing is clear—
Here exists a zombie arena, and here exists a super casino where all the rich people from all over the world come from.
The entire Golden Building's 61st to 70th floors have extremely strong sound insulation effects. Zombies cannot sense the real entrance or smell the odor of the humans living inside.
At the same time, the 61st to 70th floors were impregnable and could not be broken through by zombies, even the evolved zombies.
In a casino, what is gambled is naturally assets. When Wen Xishu realized this, he understood his situation.
"I have to help the boss here make money first. That's not difficult."
Relying on the full-level panel brought by the Tower of Slaughter attribute and an extreme kick, Wen Xishu is confident that he can blow the heads of all kinds of zombies apart.
Now, the most important thing is to find the opportunity to turn the tables.
Wen Xishu looked at Ajie:
"My dear Ajie, don't be afraid. I just like killing people, but I won't kill you. I still need you to put on makeup, please finish your work. The assistants behind you are not bad, I bet you, they will become my trophies."
Ajie stood up and began to put makeup on Wen Xishu nervously.
During this process, Wen Xishu actually also paid attention to another person - Tokugawa Taiga.
Because Tokugawa Taiga disappeared. Disappearing from the list and having his portrait dimmed meant that he was either dead or, like Tam, was devoured.
No one knows what happened to Tokugawa Taiga.
However, based on Tokugawa Taiga's final remarks, Wen Xishu could probably deduce some of the picture.
[Tokugawa Taiga: It can't be fake, Wen Xishu, even if you are Wen Xishu, you can't say it's fake. Our family is so warm, this child is more filial to me than my own children! They can't be fake. Everything I have paid for will be rewarded here. ]
[Tokugawa Taiga: If zombies come, I will stay at the entrance of the building to protect them! It's a pity that I have no assets left, but I still have this life, and I will protect them. ]
After saying this, Tokugawa Taiga disappeared.
At the same time, an update appeared in the game.
[In the East District of Windy City, a new novice mission has been updated - Family Reunion, with a difficulty level of 1 Skull. ]
Ye Lingfeng, Tong Lianlang, Zhang Hai and others who have not done this task would not have such a terrifying feeling when thinking about it carefully.
But Wen Xishu has this feeling.
Wen Xishu still remembers what Tokugawa Taiga said at the beginning - [Tokugawa Taiga: I just helped a woman find medicine to cure her child, her child was infected... but I spent some of my assets to exchange for the antidote, and now her family is very grateful to me. There is also warmth in the doomsday. ]
At this time, Wen Xishu thought of his first mission. The man in the military green coat was guarding the stairs. Although he had turned into a zombie, he still protected his family and prevented other zombies from approaching.
And at this time, was Tokugawa Taiga wearing a military green coat?
Tokugawa Taiga's life was a tragic one. Although Wen Xishu didn't know clearly, he remembered everyone's motives for coming here.
Tokugawa Taiga's motive was for his own son.
Wen Xishu found it hard to imagine what kind of son could force his old father, who was a teacher, to go to the strange tower?
He probably had an answer in his mind.
Perhaps, Tokugawa Taiga gave everything to his son, but his son is a typical parasite.
If he has no money, he will ask the old man to blast some gold coins. If he doesn't have a good job, he will complain about why he was born. In reality, Tokugawa Taiga's son has also developed a strange sexual fetish. He will occasionally accept some requests from higher-level bunkers and pretend to be a woman to serve.
Tokugawa Taiga was heartbroken. He thought that as long as he could find a decent job for his child, the child would not fall into depravity.
So, Tokugawa Taiga thought of giving it a try in the Gui Tower.
Unexpectedly, the mission encountered in Guita was a heartwarming family mission. The woman and child saved by Tokugawa Taiga were very grateful to Tokugawa Taiga.
Tokugawa Taiga found his own emotional sustenance in the game.
He began to get carried away and thought about how he must protect his children.
When Wen Xishu discovered that the game could read desires and use desires to devour people, he wondered why Tokugawa Taiga had the antidote?
Because Tokugawa Taiga was a person who valued family values, the mission he received was related to family harmony.
This also often means that this person's family in real life may be very bad.
The urban soldier king in the game is a middle school student struggling for a sense of existence in real life. The business tycoon in the game is just a poor kid who fantasizes that he has business talent in real life. The tycoon in the game is just a bullied criminal in real life.
Of course, there are also games that are completely consistent with reality. Games can accommodate everything, but can everything accept the gap and return to reality?
Tam can't, and neither can Tokugawa Taiga.
Wen Xishu guessed that in order to protect this virtual home, Tokugawa Taiga had sacrificed everything that could be sacrificed.
But in the end...
In a hotel building, Tokugawa Taiga put on a military green coat, set up a barbed wire trap outside room 2111, and with a determined look, kissed the woman and child in the game...
When he arrived at the entrance of the corridor, from that moment on, he forgot all the troubles in the bunker and the real child who only called him an old man.
Now, he only wants to protect his woman and children - in the game.
In the end, he also became a part of the game. He was happy when he turned into a zombie.
Wen Xishu's guess was 80% close to the truth.
He would not sympathize with Tokugawa Taiga, and of course, he would not mock someone for forgetting about real children for the sake of playing games.
This is how the world is. In Wen Xishu's previous life, in the health care product scam, what the elderly bought was not actually the health care products, but the scammers' hospitality to them.
Reality is so terrible that even if all the beauty is just illusion, there will always be people willing to deceive themselves.
……
……
Golden Building. Wen Xishu's makeup is finally done.
Makeup artist Ajie took photos of Wen Xishu. At Wen Xishu's request, the makeup artist made detailed annotations on the photos, explaining why each makeup was designed in this way.
Finally, the makeup artist sent everything to his contact, emphasizing that all of this was requirement No. 245.
No. 245 is Wen Xishu’s current number and also his current name.
Wen Xishu's behavior soon aroused discussion among the monitors.
The monitors then uploaded everything to the real managers.
That is the owner of the Golden Building, Charles Young.
Yang looked at the comments of makeup artist Jack and didn’t expect that this newcomer would be so capable.
At the same time, his unexpected monitoring team also specially reported a surveillance video.
It's about No. 245's performance.
At that moment, Yang remembered the number 245.
"He was polite, but he scared the makeup artist so much that her legs went weak. Not only the makeup artist, but even the monitoring team felt it necessary to report it."
"It's really interesting. It looks like this new zombie will bring some fun."
……
……
Wen Xishu is certainly not fun.
It was as if the Bunker Security Bureau asked Wen Xishu to explore the Strange Tower, so Wen Xishu took the initiative to speed up the frequency of exploration, and was on the verge of becoming the number one person in the Strange Tower.
It is the same now. Wen Xishu now knows that he is just a tool to make money, so he is aiming to become the cash cow of this Golden Building.
So Wen Xishu soon faced his first battle.
On the second day of the game, the entire 66th floor of the Golden Building was filled with a huge electronic spectator stand, and 16 arenas that were far larger than the spectator stand.
In every arena, there is a showdown between zombies and humans, or humans and humans.
Zombies will not really attack zombies. In order to find a way to let the real rich people experience the fun of cricket fighting in the doomsday, Charles Young, the owner of the Golden Building, had already started his preparations before the implementation of the doomsday plan.
Build a huge arena, and then tell the public that you have mastered the method of making the zombies fight each other.
But he didn't have that method. He just thought that although zombies would not attack zombies, they would attack humans.
If I make up humans to look like zombies, won't that attract those big guys to fight crickets?
Betting on football, boxing, horse racing, card games...
The Golden Mansion offers all kinds of gambling, yes, even in the end of the world, there are football games.
There is also a Doomsday Horse Racing Bureau, where twelve humans are tied to the end of the track and twelve zombie horses start running to see who is the first to eat a human.
But among all the projects, the one between zombies and zombies is the most interesting.
And today, the zombie arena welcomed a newcomer.
The commentator is now introducing with a passionate voice:
"His name is Cindys who likes to cut off hands! He was the champion of the underground fighting competition when he was alive! He has great strength. Every time he fights with an opponent, he will ask the opponent to sign a life and death agreement. However, he does not want the opponent's life, but only one of their arms."
"Oh, look at the densely packed arms around his waist, my sanity value has dropped. Everyone, pay attention to Cindy's arms, his arms are intact, which means! He has never lost!"
“But then again, those who can come here are all ruthless people who can fight their way out of the zombie horde and find shelter on their own. Every zombie here, when they were still human, was the strongest doomsday survivor!”
"Some of them can even tear a witch apart with their bare hands!"
"Come on, let's see if this undefeated newcomer can survive the first night here!"
It's time to perform.
Wen Xishu's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and the arms around his waist emitted a rotten stench.
On the ring, Wen Xishu looked at the barbed wire around him, wondering how likely it was that he could tear it apart.
And how to make the game more entertaining.
A normal player would probably feel humiliated, and at this moment, would only want to vent his anger, or curl up in the fear of survival.
But Wen Xishu wouldn’t feel humiliated. He found immersive role-playing quite interesting.
Wen Xishu’s first duel begins.
He first looked at his opponent, a two-meter-tall zombie wearing a rugby uniform. There was no doubt that this uniform was not something that ordinary people could break through.
Wen Xishu didn't care. He tried to imitate the slight distortion of limbs like a zombie, trying to make himself look like a zombie as much as possible.
This scene also made many viewers discover the highlights.
Most of the audience are wealthy people, and they know that many of the zombies are not real zombies.
There is a difference between human behavior and zombie behavior. But for the rich, what they want to see is rivers of blood.
So whether it's humans vs zombies, or zombies vs zombies, it doesn't matter, as long as there's blood, violence, dismemberment, and gnawing, then ok, you can take my wallet.
The football uniform zombies look a little unnatural because of the football uniforms. There is an old saying that goes, zombies won second place in the zombie imitation competition, and humans won first place.
Wen Xishu did just that.
His twisted limbs now make him look more like a zombie than a zombie.
In the observation room, Charles Young was a little annoyed:
"You let him turn into a zombie early? Damn it, how could you do such a thing again?"
"No, Boss, we didn't do that this time."
"Then why is he moving exactly like a zombie now?"
"No... we don't know! Boss, according to the data from the electronic collar, his vital signs are no different from those of a normal human being, you see!"
The assistant quickly gave Charles Young the data report.
After reading it, Charles Young seemed to understand something. He lit his cigar and exhaled the smoke:
“It’s interesting, but your opponent is a real zombie, and Bob is a real rugby forward. I feed it with the best human flesh. Let’s see if you can defeat it!”
Charles Yang has already developed some interest in Wen Xishu.
In the arena.
Wen Xishu’s imitation was so similar that many viewers thought that the zombie in the football uniform was a human being.
Next, Zombie Bob charged towards Wen Xishu.
too slow.
Although his ability was suppressed, Wen Xishu still felt that the opponent was too slow.
Wen Xishu's attributes are indeed not as good as Luta's, but it has also reached the upper limit set by humans in the game.
He dodged lightly, and with the help of the enhanced leg strength from his extreme kick, he jumped easily and leaped directly into the air.
Then he grabbed the wire mesh with both hands. At this moment, Wen Xishu was also aware that he was playing the role of a zombie, so he chose to hold the wire mesh tightly like a reptile, looking down at Bob like a ghoul.
The commentary said:
"Oh my god, look at this amazing jumping ability, it reminds me of that parkour champion. No, Cindys is even better than the parkour champion. It climbed onto the wire mesh like a spider hunting. What moves will he use next!"
Wen Xishu's move was very simple. He leaped up and kicked with a battle axe from high in the air.
He launched an extreme kick with all his strength. At that moment, Wen Xishu clearly felt that a force that broke through the game settings was gathering in his legs!
Wen Xishu even had to hold back a little.
What was presented to the audience was a head-explosion scene that made their blood boil.
Underground fighting champion Cindis kicked Zombie Bob, who was wearing a football helmet, in the head with a condescending kick!
The narration is also very informative:
"Oh my god! A kill in one blow! The game is over! Bob, who had torn his opponent apart for six consecutive rounds, was kicked in the head by the newcomer Cindys!"
"Look at the parasites and purple plasma bursting out of that head! It's beautiful."
"Oh!!! Sindis was eager to fight. He broke Bobo's arm! The big arm was tied to Sindis' waist! It became another trophy!"
The electronic audience also let out a thunderous roar of joy. Obviously, people don't care about losing money.
The doomsday has a special trading method and currency, but for the rich, it doesn't matter. In the game setting, they are the creators of the doomsday.
For them, money doesn't matter as long as they can watch an interesting game.
Charles Young also discovered in the background that Cindys had terrifying combat power.
But he didn't realize the sense of crisis, because the cheers proved that Sindis brought the game that the rich wanted to see!
……
……
The game ends quickly.
Wen Xishu returned to her original room, and makeup artist Ajie began to remove her makeup.
About twenty minutes later, a voice came from Wen Xishu's room:
"No. 245, you did a great job."
Wen Xishu actually thought that it would take the third game to attract the opponent's attention.
But I didn't expect that Yang would notice me after just one game.
This is thanks to Wen Xishu's performance, not in terms of combat power, but in terms of "fun".
For these thrill-seekers, what they want is novelty.
Yang actually knew that some wealthy people had already realized that this was not a fight between zombies and zombies, but essentially a fight between zombies and humans.
So the rich actually have another bet - who is the real zombie.
There was no suspense in this bet before, but after Wen Xishu's performance today, there was suspense.
Many wealthy people speculate that Cindys, played by Wen Xishu, is the real zombie.
Especially when Wen Xishu twisted his arm, the cry he made was almost exactly the same as that of a zombie, with a hoarse and rotten sound.
And Wen Xishu's body was twisted like a zombie. He looked more like a zombie than Bob.
So this time, the bet was finally not one-sided. Many people even thought that Yang had really solved the century-old problem of "how to make two zombies fight"?
Charles soon received a call from a higher-up with more power and money than he did.
The other party said frankly:
"Charles, tell us, which one is the human? You just need to tell us the name."
Of course Charles also knew about the bet. He didn't expect that No. 245's performance would be so perfect that the bet with the least suspense would become popular again.
Then Charles said:
"Of course Bob."
The rich man suddenly realized:
"I didn't expect you to have found a treasure. Cindys is actually a real zombie, and such a powerful one at that. I want to buy it."
"No, no, no, please allow us to play more games to confirm his potential. It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but he's just a cricket, so he still needs to fight a few more games."
“Well, we want to see it on the field.”
This conversation made Charles realize that he was not the only one who was mesmerized by No. 245's performance.
No. 245 even started a new gambling game.
That’s the business value.
So soon, the conversation between Charles Yang and Wen Xishu came even faster than Wen Xishu had expected.
"No. 245, you did a great job. I am the owner of the Golden Building, you can call me Yang."
"You're the boss, right? When can I play next?"
Charles was somewhat surprised by No. 245's enthusiasm:
"Don't worry. Many big shots are optimistic about you now. They think you are a real zombie. They will bet on you to win the next game. Do you know that? You performed better than everyone before you. You played the role of a zombie perfectly!"
"Should I reward you with delicious food or a woman? No, no, no, no, I'm too stingy. I will arrange everything."
Wen Xishu heard it and Charles was obviously very happy.
At the same time, Wen Xishu also captured key information.
The bigwigs are optimistic about him and think he is a real zombie. It can be seen that the bigwigs are not stupid and know that many zombies are played by people.
Wen Xishu said:
"My dear boss, you do understand me. I do like women and delicious food. But I have a suggestion. Everyone thinks I'm a zombie, so why not dress up a zombie as me in the next game?"
Charles was stunned at first, then delighted:
"what do you mean……"
Wen Xishu said:
"The makeup artist can make me look like a million different zombies. I don't want to be restricted to playing just the same zombie. You don't think that's the limit of what I can do, do you?"
"The audience couldn't tell whether the zombie I played was real or fake."
"Then why should I be restricted to one identity? I can be any zombie. As long as our casino needs us, we can deceive everyone!"
Charles really didn't expect that someone would be so aware.
At the same time, he never expected that he would be attracted by the blueprint drawn up by a "zombie" below.
Yes, if No. 245 can play any zombie, then the bet is basically up to him.
Although the gambling game is originally controlled by themselves, the increasingly fake gambling makes most wealthy people feel that it has lost its meaning.
What they want is freshness and a sense of uncontrollability, rather than being able to tell at a glance that the zombies are humans.
The zombies played by other humans either have different limbs or their mentality is mostly filled with fear and despair.
Unlike No. 245, who is optimistic, positive, and can imitate very well.
Charles only felt that this was his own cash cow. The most important thing was that No. 245 had his own desire weakness.
That is, he made no secret of his love for women and food. So all he had to do was provide enough "goods" to make No. 245 loyal.
……
……
The third day of the game.
Wen Xishu, who played Cindy, once again kicked his opponent's head to pieces. However, this time, no parasites jumped out, only dark red blood.
This is a human head.
Before Wen Xishu kicked the opponent in the head, he even saw the barrage.
There is endless regret hidden in the barrage, telling the story of an arrogant man who rebelled against the camp because he refused to obey the control of the camp leader.
Wen Xishu was not affected by this story. He continued to twist the other person's arm as usual.
The difference is that Wen Xishu played it big. In addition to breaking the opponent's arm, he even started to bite the opponent.
But soon, Charles Young cut off the broadcast.
This made everyone believe that Cindys, played by Wen Xishu, was a real zombie.
Afterwards, Wen Xishu's performance was praised by Charles.
Wen Xishu said that he needed a luxurious water bed, the kind that could make love with ten women at the same time.
Charles admired Wen Xishu's undisguised desire very much. Only by having desire could he control Wen Xishu.
There was a second show, and soon a third.
In the third scene, Wen Xishu played another zombie.
Everything was just as he had designed it at the beginning. The zombie competing with him was disguised as a product code-named "Cindys".
A conspiracy to cover up the truth has begun.
It can be said that after the first two performances, most of the wealthy people have already trusted Sindis very much.
They didn't think any human could defeat a zombie as powerful as Sindis.
So most of the big shots bet on Cindy to win.
The wealthy want to see novelty, but Charles, who is also a wealthy man, wants to experience teasing.
The thrill of teasing everyone.
Wen Xishu’s third performance begins.
The commentator has begun his passionate introduction:
"The one challenging the rookie king Cindys this time is a zombie with equally strong legs. It took us a lot of effort to capture it!"
"His name is Boyka, a prison fighter from Dragon City, but he is best known as a football player. What he is best at is ruining other players' careers on the field. The athlete with shark-tooth-like tackles made three appearances and knocked out two world-class stars. He was banned from the game for life and sentenced. In prison, he relied on his powerful leg strength to dominate all fighting events in the prison."
"However, it still cannot escape the fate of being bitten to death and turned into a zombie. Now, let's see who is the real leg king in the zombie world!"
People didn't think this zombie would look scarier than Sindis with arms all around his waist.
But the course of the game was faster than people expected.
There was almost no suspense in this battle. Boyka, played by Wen Xishu, swept the fake Cindy's leg cleanly and broke it directly.
Bones were cracked, flesh was shattered, parasites were everywhere. There was no struggle as people thought.
The winner of the duel was decided at the very beginning, and it ended so quickly that all the spectators were a little confused at first.
But because of this, it presents a strange sense of reality.
Wen Xishu looked at the parasites moving under his feet, his heart was calm. The armor on his body could isolate these parasites. Now in Charles' eyes, No. 245 is a cash cow among cash cows.
There has never been anyone like No. 245 who could revive a dead gambling game for him and make huge profits after fooling everyone.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to let someone like No. 245, who was both good at fighting and dealing with trouble, accidentally get infected and become a zombie.
There was an uproar.
The rookie king of the generation had his leg broken by a sweeping kick, and all the rich people made the wrong judgment.
But they found it very funny. They cursed and got angry, but they also got carried away by it.
They all congratulated Charles for finding so many top-notch zombies.
Charles made a fortune.
Wen Xishu's status was also rising. Charles even gave the writing of various scripts to Wen Xishu.
Wen Xishu also successfully completed what he had to do in the first stage and gained trust.
On the third day of the game, Wen Xishu completed many exciting competitions using different identities.
The value of assets in Charles' account soared wildly. The feeling of being out of control makes the rich addicted, and the feeling of being able to control everything at will makes Charles addicted.
It all started with Wen Xishu.
Charles thought he had control over Wen Xishu with women and food, but in fact, Wen Xishu was also controlling Charles' desires.
This is a game related to desire. Some people are swallowed by desire and become part of the game, while others use desire as a weapon to break the shackles of the game.
On the third night, Wen Xishu finally had the opportunity to communicate with Charles.
After winning a lot of wealth for Charles and relying on his superb acting skills to make Charles believe that he really likes fighting and is addicted to the joy of fighting, Charles must also reward this hero who constantly controls the wealthy for him.
Wen Xishu was a man of great ability and bravery. He did all the work of a civil official or a military commander. Charles would naturally continue to increase his rewards.
Except for removing the collar, Charles could almost meet all of Wen Xishu's requests.
Therefore, Wen Xishu had dinner with Charles on the third night.
Charles already felt that No. 245 was a smart person and that they had reached a win-win situation.
And he has the remote control in his hand, what can he do?
Wen Xishu also stated that he had a more suitable script that would definitely make those wealthy people excited.
So, driven by desire, Charles Yang finally gave Wen Xishu a chance to meet him.
……
……
Golden Building, top floor.
The luxurious dining table was longer than any stretched sedan Wen Xishu had ever seen, and it was filled with delicacies that, as far as Wen Xishu knew, would hardly be found in the apocalypse.
Charles said:
"Don't be surprised, my friend. You are my hero and you deserve to be treated to the best food."
"Recently, there has been a pretty good businessman in the southern part of Wind City. He seems to be very keen on opening up various business channels, and he always comes up with some pre-apocalyptic goods. It's interesting, isn't it? It seems that all of his assets are used in this aspect."
"I think it will soon become part of the world. There will always be outsiders in this world, just like some people before them."
“The value of these outsiders’ assets is very valuable and can be exchanged for a lot of interesting things.”
Wen Xishu was slightly surprised when he heard this. Is he talking about Ye Lingfeng?
Could it be that the NPC in the game... no, should I say the main NPC, can detect some situations?
"But I believe that you are not an outsider. We have dealt with outsiders before, and they all have a unique smell of asset value. But you don't."
Wen Xishu couldn't help but ask at this time:
"Asset value? Isn't that money?"
Charles shook his head and revealed part of the secret of this game:
"To us, it's money, but to outsiders, it's a driving force to sacrifice for desire. It's the core of this world."
"Let me tell you a secret. This world will always randomly summon some guys to try to break our rule over the world."
"It's weird, right? But the world favors us. All the guys who were summoned have something to do with their asset value."
“But that thing is also the way the world eats away at them.”
"This world summons outsiders, and at the same time devours them. We have gradually gotten used to it."
“The inner desires of outsiders will bring new things to the world, such as these delicacies.”
"But that's none of our business, Charles. We should have a drink, right?"
Wen Xishu was secretly shocked.
The NPCs in this world... no, to be more precise, the NPCs in the main quest can actually sense the presence of players.
The players are, naturally, the bunker dwellers. Bunker climbers keep coming to this level, but keep getting lost in desire.
Those main NPCs originally thought that the bunker climbers would threaten their enjoyment of the apocalypse they had created.
But in reality, they found that these outsiders ultimately did not require them to take action, as they would be lost in their desires.
Wen Xishu suddenly felt that this was not a game... This was a super twisted area. The NPCs here were not NPCs, but real humans.
But if this is a super-distorted area, a real place where the future Three Towers War exists...
So, isn't it a bit of a waste of talent for this place to be ranked on the fifteenth floor of the Weird Tower? You know, this place can actually devour the bunker people in reverse, using the asset value to materialize the inner desires of the bunker people. And then turn the bunker people into people here...
This kind of area only has fifteen floors, and Wen Xishu feels it is too low.
However, these are not what Wen Xishu needs to worry about at the moment.
Wen Xishu raised his glass and clinked it with Charles.
It was also at this moment that Wen Xishu suddenly exerted his strength and caught Charles off guard.
The full-level attributes, combined with the explosive power of an extreme kick, allowed Wen Xishu to stab Charles' throat directly with his hand knife as if he had teleported.
Charles' first reaction was surprise. Looking at No. 245 who suddenly rushed over with a murderous look on his face, he was a little puzzled. Was the other party crazy?
His second reaction was to realize that everything No. 245 did was to get close to him at this moment. This despicable cricket was actually planning a rebellion!
His third reaction was that he wanted to threaten No. 245, but he suddenly realized that he could not threaten No. .
Not long ago, he was afraid that his men would make a mistake and accidentally kill No. 245, turning No. 245 into a real zombie... This had happened before, quite a few times. So this time, he couldn't let this happen.
No. 245 is his top cash cow and can even be said to be a strategic partner.
Therefore, the detonator of electronic collar No. 245 and various punishment triggers were all in his hands, and there was no backup.
In other words, no one else can threaten No. 245. This also means that No. 245 is safe as long as he kills him, even with the collar.
Fourth reaction, there is no fourth reaction.
No matter how fast Charles was, after raising his hand to toast, he could not withdraw the gesture faster than Wen Xishu's sudden attack.
In order to completely obtain all the information about the "game", Wen Xishu does not plan to rely on the Phoenix Gloves Solution this time.
So he would not give Charles any chance. He did not dare to bet whether Charles had other ways, such as sound or any other tiny movement to activate the detonator.
Although considering the possibility of using the strange sequence of mental barrage to obtain additional intelligence, Wen Xishu still decided to put safety first.
So he turned the tables and killed Charles directly.
Everything happened so fast, just like Wen Xishu's performance on the ring.
Charles looked at Wen Xishu in horror and died with his eyes open.
[You have once again successfully read the opponent's desires, used them to gain true freedom. With your hypocritical performance, precise vision, and strong survivability, you have perfectly combined all of these and defeated the powerful enemy again. You have realized the distortion of this world, and gradually felt the coming of the end of the world, perhaps due to an extremely evil and absurd plan.]
[Dig out all the secrets in the Golden Mansion. It is not difficult to find. The main storyline of the game and the following levels are waiting for you. But now, you can learn about the hidden Easter eggs in this game and the origin of everything through other channels. 】
[Congratulations, you have received the invitation letter. The Troubles of Genius John. ]
Charles died, and at the same time, Wen Xishu had an invitation letter in his hand.
Now, he finally has the opportunity to learn about the origin of the game.
"What kind of impact does this game have on reality? Does it really exist, or is it just a game? I can finally find out."
