Chapter 226 Settlement
Chapter 226 Settlement (Part )
After the city lord’s special car left Gray City.
Walking through the fog, we finally arrived at the foot of a barren mountain.
The driver ghost asked, "Lord City Lord, why did you come to this barren mountain?"
He was very curious as to why the city lord was interested in this barren mountain.
Could it be that there is some mystery or treasure hidden in this barren mountain?
Su Ming explained: "Because I started from here on this journey, so in the end, I have to return here."
“Everything has a beginning and an end. In a sense, this is also a cycle.”
He put it more tactfully because if he said directly that this was a requirement of the horror game, the driver wouldn't understand.
The driver ghost just felt that Su Ming's words were extremely mysterious.
It seems as if it contains thousands of great principles and endless truths.
I thought to myself that he is indeed a ruthless man worthy of being the city lord, he is really amazing!
He actually answered a simple question at a philosophical level.
It is simply a towering mountain that makes ghosts look up to it.
The driver thought for a moment and continued, "Lord City Lord, I have a question. Can I ask you?"
Su Ming: "You said, I'm almost at the station."
Driver Ghost: "How can I be as successful as you?"
Su Ming stroked his chin and thought about this question seriously.
Then he said, "Everyone and the ghost have different conditions. The experience and opportunities I have may not be available to you."
“So, abandoning one’s own specific conditions to forcefully pursue a certain kind of success will probably not lead to any good results.”
“As long as you feel you are successful, that’s enough.”
He knew that he was cheating.
Therefore, I don’t think I’m that great just because I’ve achieved a lot.
There is a saying that goes, if you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.
I am probably just an average person, and the reason I have come this far is mostly due to the game discs left by my parents.
Therefore, he will not laugh at those players who struggle in horror games but cannot get high ratings, thinking that they are trash or something.
If the other party has his own conditions, he may not do worse than him.
Of course, he wouldn't feel embarrassed because he was cheating.
This world has never been a completely fair game.
Since you have advantages in certain areas, you should make full use of them, do your best and do what you want.
Finally, the special car stopped halfway up the mountain.
Outside the window is a cemetery shrouded in gray fog.
Su Ming: "I'm at my stop."
What the driver ghost saw was somewhat different from what Su Ming saw.
He looked out the window, with a hint of emotion on his face: "I never thought that such a small mountain village would produce such an outstanding person like you."
"It's really incredible."
Su Ming: "Shouldn't you be curious about why there is a small mountain village with living people here?"
After saying that, he opened the car door and walked out.
The driver ghost didn't take this to heart.
After saying goodbye to Su Ming, he drove away.
Su Ming, wearing the city lord's black robe, stood in the mass grave.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose out of nowhere.
An old voice sounded among the mass graves: "I never thought that a real dragon would appear in our small mountain village!"
"Great! That's great! We finally bring honor to our village!"
Gray figures appeared at the grave.
The one who spoke was the old village chief who led the group.
This is a little old man with a squire's hat on his head and a dragon-headed cane in his hand.
His strength is extremely strong and unfathomable.
Su Ming was not frightened and said calmly: "Basic exercises are not bad."
[The nightmare-level challenge dungeon "Shared Rental" has been perfectly conquered! ]
[You can choose to leave the instance immediately, or stay in the instance temporarily, with the maximum time not exceeding 24 hours.]
A prompt for a thriller game appears.
Su Ming had no intention of staying in this mass grave any longer.
He knew that if he stayed, there would be no danger.
Instead, the enthusiastic villagers would hold a banquet for him and congratulate him, a promising child, on becoming the lord of Gray City.
It was the banquet itself, which was a bit earthy and underworld.
Not really to his liking.
So, he chose to leave directly.
"I'm leaving now. Goodbye everyone. You should all go back to your homes. There's no need to see me off."
After saying this, he disappeared into the mass grave.
……
...Lucheng, Xingfu Community.
A black Santana was parked in the community.
The license plate number is quite distinguished: Deer A, 666666.
This is a top-notch Geely license plate selected to bless the Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau to do its job smoothly.
Now that horror games are out, it’s not a bad idea to believe in some of these metaphysical things.
Inside the car, in the passenger seat, Su Ming opened his eyes.
There was no one in the driver's seat next to me. I turned my head to look behind me, but there was still no one.
There were four of us when we came here, but now I am the only one left in the car.
Su Ming complained: "Now, I have to drive myself."
He came to the driver's seat, started the engine, started the Santana, and slowly left the Xingfu Community.
The car was driving very slowly, swaying forward like an old man taking a walk on the street.
He picked up the phone and called Zhang Tieshu.
Zhang Tieshu's surprised voice came from the other side: "Boss! You came out?"
God bless you, there has been no news from Su Ming for a week.
The Lucheng Countermeasures Bureau brings up this issue every day, and the members are extremely anxious and angry.
However, I can only worry and fret about gains and losses, and can do nothing else.
Now, these days of torture are finally over.
Su Ming: "Everything is done, perfect clearance."
Zhang Tieshu: "Great! That's great!!"
"I will tell the director and the others this good news right now!!"
"Boss, you don't know that everyone in the bureau has been going crazy..."
It seemed that the other party, Zhang Tieshu, was going to talk endlessly.
Su Ming interrupted him forcefully: "It's almost done. I'm calling just to let you know I'm safe."
"That's it. If there's anything else, we'll talk later."
After hanging up the phone, I drove for a while.
The settlement panel of the horror game popped up in front of him.
【Congratulations on successfully passing the dungeon! 】
[Settlement in progress...]
【Copy Name: Shared Rental】
[Difficulty: Nightmare (Challenge)]
[Number of people participating in the dungeon: 8+4]
[Number of people who passed the dungeon: 4]
【Game number: D5205211314】
[Codename: Miracle Master]
[Clearance Rating: Perfect (the highest rating in the current instance)]
[The rewards list is as follows:]
[15000 points (special item "Bloody Wallet of the Helpless Lamb" points returned)]
[25210 points (special item "Bloody Trousers of the Helpless Lamb" points returned)]
[34220 points (special item "Blood-colored Coat of the Helpless Lamb" points are returned)]
[35000 points (special item "Bloody Shoes of the Helpless Lamb" points are returned)]
[3000 points (basic points for clearing nightmare difficulty, the amount of reward points for different nightmare difficulty dungeons will also vary)]
[15000 points (extra bonus points for perfect reviews)]
[4000 points (best player performance points)]
[12000 points (extra reward for two failed strategies)]
[Total points reward: 143430 points]
The number of points was quite exaggerated, directly breaking through six digits.
Because the four sets of Innocent Lamb suits were all in Su Ming's hands in the end.
They are Zhan Shen, Zhang Tieshu and the anxiety patient, who bought it with all their points.
And these points can be exchanged back when you leave the copy.
Because these four special props suffered a certain degree of wear and tear during Su Ming's use.
Therefore, the returned points are also discounted.
Otherwise, he could get even more points.
Although points don’t play a big role for him now.
As long as you have enough points for intermission growth, that's enough.
More points are just numbers to him.
But looking at this long string of numbers still made him feel comfortable.
Su Ming said to himself, "The Countermeasures Bureau won't let me lose points again, right?"
"After all, I am the one who solved the nightmare-level challenge dungeon. It is reasonable to take these points as a reward."
