Chapter 250: Persuasion and Sponsorship
Chapter 250: Persuasion and Sponsorship
The boss's ghost question made the atmosphere suddenly tense.
However, Su Ming was very calm and said, "In fact, you don't believe what the End believers say at all."
The boss ghost showed some interest: "Tell me more."
Su Ming: "If you really believe them, just kill us directly."
"But you didn't do that, which means that their credibility with you is not that good. In other words, you are not sure whether they can help you leave, but you have no other choice but to trust them."
"If I'm not mistaken, a long time ago, a believer in the End came and contacted you, and made some promises, right?"
Hearing Su Ming's story, it completely matched my own psychological state.
The boss showed a bit of admiration on his face: "Yes, a long time ago, a powerful believer of the End came to see me."
"He told me that they, the End Believers, can help me leave here."
"But the premise of this matter is that they can win the final battle."
"So, he hopes that I can provide assistance to the End believers who will arrive later so that they can win this battle."
He said helplessly: "I did so, and provided help to several weaker End believers behind, but I never got any feedback."
"When will the so-called End War begin? What are their chances of winning? Can they win? Those End War believers have no idea at all."
"This makes me feel that those believers of the End are very unreliable, and their so-called promises are more like empty checks. After all, who would cooperate without paying a deposit? Since they can't even say when the End War will begin, how can they be sure that they can let me leave here after it is accomplished? How can I believe that they will definitely keep their promises?"
Listening to the boss ghost's story, doubts arose in the hearts of the players present.
What exactly is the so-called Final War?
It was the first time they heard of this term, and it sounded like a very important battle related to the believers of the End.
The other party in the battle should be the player, right? I don't know if I can win, and if I lose, what will be the consequences.
They wanted to know this, but unfortunately, the boss who brought up this matter didn't know the details.
The boss ghost continued: "So, I was wondering if there is any other way for me to escape from this cage."
"As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. I hope to make more attempts and get more people to help me. In order to screen out good enough people, I left the password clue of this door in the office building. This is a test."
"Well, in fact, you have passed my test by being able to crack the code and come here. You are my guests."
"Please sit down!"
He motioned to Su Ming and the others to sit down at a tea table against the wall.
Then he ran to the next room and brought back a pot of tea and a tray of teacups.
Start pouring tea for them.
After finishing, I sat here and asked: "Based on your outstanding performance, I don't mind giving you some help."
"Well, even if you don't have any plans to help me leave here, this promise is still valid. Just consider it as a reward for you being able to come here."
"Of course, all this is based on reasonable premises."
Su Ming said: "In fact, our goals are the same."
"It's the same password test you set. This is actually a test as well. Only after completing the test can you leave smoothly."
The boss ghost looked serious: "You said it was a test, what is your basis? Who is testing you? What is the purpose?"
While he was working hard to get promoted, he was not idle.
Also investigating how to get out of here.
During this process, he discovered that everything here seemed to be designed.
If you follow the established track and do specific things, such as going to work, working, leaving get off work, resting, etc., then there will be no problem. At most, you will encounter some difficulties in your work, but after hard work, you will be able to overcome them.
However, once he tries to jump out of this established trajectory and leave here, all kinds of resistance will emerge.
This route is completely blocked by various powerful ghosts or special terrain.
Once someone tries to leave, they will be strongly stopped by the ghosts and their lives will be in danger.
Several times, he nearly died in the process.
At the beginning, he felt that he was not strong enough, so he worked hard to get promoted, become stronger, and improve himself.
However, as his strength grows, the demons that come out to stop him also become stronger.
It was as if there was a huge black hand with no visible boundaries, which confined him to this small piece of land.
He had many guesses about this, and the test theory was one of them.
He thought that the test he set was to screen out sufficiently outstanding people, so what was the purpose of this test?
Su Ming continued: "It doesn't matter who set up the test."
"The important thing is that as long as someone can overcome all the obstacles and leave here, this ordeal will be over."
"Now that the test is over, everyone can leave, including those who failed the test. They just won't get the benefits given by the one who set up the test."
The boss ghost's eyes lit up: "I see! This possibility does exist!"
He had indeed not thought about this possibility carefully before.
All he was thinking about was how he could leave here.
But I never thought that if others left here, I could leave too.
Although I can't be sure, what the person in front of me said is right.
But at least it provided him with a completely new idea and possibility.
Moreover, if his password test could help him screen out the right people, he would not continue with this test!
It's very reasonable.
The boss ghost was quite satisfied with his answer: "You said it very well, it makes a lot of sense, so, what kind of support do you need from me to help you pass this test?"
Su Ming: "We are not strong enough, I hope you can provide some support."
"As we become stronger, our chances of passing the test will increase."
"You've been the boss for so many years, so you should have something that can enhance our collection, right?"
The boss ghost took a sip of tea and said, "No problem, it's a very reasonable request."
"I do have quite a few good things here that I can give to you as my investment."
"Anything else you need? Let's talk about it together."
Su Ming: "We have a mortal feud with those two End of the World believers. They want to kill us. So, in order to concentrate on passing the test, we need to try to get rid of them first. This is reasonable, right?"
"Boss, can you give us some help on this issue?"
The boss ghost looked embarrassed: "This... is reasonable, but according to the contract I signed with the previous believer of the end, I will reach the limit if I don't help them deal with you."
"If I help you deal with them again, it will be a serious violation of the contract. The consequences of breaching that contract are quite serious, and I cannot breach it."
