Although the turret has good attack power, its own defense value is not high. After losing the protection of the barrier stone, it was quickly destroyed by the crazy attacks of long-range players.

The wall was the last line of defense. Like Get Rich Overnight Town, the walls of Red Maple Village were constructed of reinforced concrete. Their defenses were quite strong, and even a few players or monsters would be unable to breach them.

However, the wall and the shield worked differently. The shield, formed by the barrier stone, was a single, unbroken piece; attacking any part of it would reduce the barrier stone's total health. The wall, on the other hand, had its health calculated segment by segment. So, at Ye Miao's command, melee players madly rushed towards the same section of the wall, causing its health to drop rapidly. It soon collapsed, leaving a gaping hole.

"Kill that bastard Wei Hua!!!" The players, furious for days, roared as they poured in from the breach. The Red Maple Village members, who had been trying to resist, immediately lost their resolve. Non-core members immediately abandoned their weapons and turned to flee back to the residential area. The core members managed to hold out for a while, but with their numbers essentially at 1v5, they stood no chance of victory.

A quarter of an hour later, the battle ended. Following the previously agreed plan, Chu Cheng, seeing a clear victory, led his 300 men to retreat, completely surrounding Red Maple Village. As Ye Miao pressed the dagger to Wei Hua's throat, the system intelligently determined that Red Maple Village had been defeated, and a pop-up window signaled the end of the battle.

"You have successfully captured [Red Maple Village]. Would you like to annex the territory as a base, or give it up?"

"(If you choose 'Give Up Territory', the territory ruins will appear on the map for three days and then disappear after three days)."

There are two options below: [Annex territory] [Give up territory].

The same prompt appeared when he captured the Fearless Village, but at that time the strength of the village that became rich overnight was still limited, and there were only a few people left in the Fearless Village. Ye Miao had neither the energy nor the need to annex territory, so he gave up without thinking.

But this time, if she doesn't annex the territory, the remaining places in the village that became rich overnight will not be enough to accommodate so many people, so she can only press [Annex Territory].

However, the next second, a world announcement popped up in the field of vision of all players: [Get Rich Overnight Town] has broken through [Red Maple Village], and the original [Red Maple Village] territory has become a stronghold of [Get Rich Overnight Town].

A small map was thoughtfully placed after the message. Click it to enlarge it directly to the map of T City, allowing everyone to see the location of the stronghold.

Ye Miao: “…”

Rubbish game, looking for trouble, right?!

Although all players could see the icon of the Fearless Village turn gray and disappear on the map when it was captured, it was obviously not as high-profile as the current world notification!

This kind of notification is simply a blatant attempt to create hatred.

Ye Miao was speechless at the announcement. Just a few feet away, Wei Hua, who had also seen the announcement, gnashed his teeth in hatred: "I want to see how long you can be so proud..."

"Proud?" Ye Miao was brought back to her senses by these words and chuckled, "Do you think the whole world is like you, putting pride first?" After saying that, she turned her head and glanced at her. Li Chenqi, who was closest to her, realized that something was wrong and took two steps forward.

Ye Miao said, "Find a place to lock him up and pick a few more capable fighters to watch him. Let Feng Xiaohao come to see me."

"Okay." Li Chenqi casually called Shen Ruhuan to come and take Wei Hua away, and then he strode out of the territory to find Feng Xiaohao.

Not far from the base, Feng Xiaohao waited idly with four psychiatrists. He was extremely nervous, his eyes fixed on the direction of Hongfeng Village. Even the pop-up announcement symbolizing his team's victory couldn't relax him.

Li Chenqi came out and called him from a distance. Feng Xiaohao heard the voice and ran over: "How is it? Did you win?"

Li Chenqi looked at him twice: "You don't have any announcement here?"

Feng Xiaohao: “Played…”

"How can the system fool you?" Li Chenqi patted his shoulder in amusement. "Come with me, the boss is looking for you."

"Alright!" Feng Xiaohao cheered up and quickly followed Li Chenqi back to the base. Ye Miao was idly pacing in front of the villa where Wei Hua was finally subdued. Seeing Feng Xiaohao approach, he stopped and asked, "Do you know where all the players who signed the indenture are? Would you be willing to take me to see them?"

She originally wanted to ask Wei Hua about these things, but perhaps because she had heard too many bad things recently, after meeting Wei Hua face to face, she found herself feeling disgusted, and Wei Hua might not cooperate.

Feng Xiaohao nodded heavily: "I know, it's in his basement!"

He walked towards the yard after he finished speaking. Ye Miao followed him. When they reached the gate, a new pop-up window popped up:

"This building was originally a private residence. As a conqueror, you can choose to [confiscate] or [return it to its original owner]."

Ye Miao decisively chose to "confiscate" the property.

The next second, the gate automatically changed to an accessible mode, and Ye Miao and Feng Xiaohao walked in together. Chu Cheng, who had just re-entered the territory, caught sight of their backs and ran over: "Boss."

Ye Miao stopped and waited for a while, and when he came closer, they walked in together.

Chu Cheng walked and said, "Red Maple Village is indeed abnormal. Some players saw their territory being breached and believed they would die. Unable to escape, they cried uncontrollably. No explanation was of any use."

"..." Ye Miao looked at the sky and saw that it was noon. He handed the backpack to Chu Cheng and said, "I brought a lot of food. You should provide them with lunch first. It should be based on the low-cost three-meal standard of our territory."

"Okay." Chu Cheng felt relieved.

This solution is simple, but it's a good one, because if they're going to kill people directly, they don't need to provide food, it's simple logic.

After taking the backpack, Chu Cheng did not leave immediately. Seeing Ye Miao following Feng Xiaohao straight to the basement, he hesitated for a moment and followed them.

Both types of villa buildings in the game have basements. It is not certain what players will use them for, but if analyzed from a combat perspective, the basement is surrounded by walls and has only one door, which is very suitable for ambushing opponents.

The three of them walked down the stairs. At the end of the stairs was an exquisite wooden door. The moment Ye Miao pushed the door open, a scream came from inside: "Ah——"

There was a flash of darkness in front of him, and Chu Cheng calmly clenched his longbow.

"Is there a light?" Ye Miao asked Feng Xiaohao. Feng Xiaohao reached out and touched the wall on the side, then pressed the switch to turn it on.

A pale yellow light instantly illuminated the room, and the same screams echoed again. Ye Miao looked up and saw that in the basement, which was as large as the villa, more than 30 people were huddled in a corner, staring at her in horror.

There was no furniture in the basement, only some straw on the floor, which seemed to be used as a bed. A small space was separated by wooden boards on the side, which contained a toilet, but there was only one toilet.

Feng Xiaohao stared blankly at what was in front of him. "Wei Hua will arrange shifts for everyone, letting everyone take turns going out to do things. The rest of us will stay here the whole time. We have no freedom, and we can't even turn on the lights."

"When food is delivered, someone hands it in through a hole in the door. When Wei Hua is in a good mood, he gets one or two meals a day, but when he's in a bad mood, he doesn't get a meal for two days."

As Feng Xiaohao spoke, his mind uncontrollably recalled the past, his voice and body trembling slightly. Ye Miao noticed something was wrong and turned around to pull him out: "Come on, go out and relax." After saying that, he turned back and told Chu Cheng, "Tell the psychology team to come in."

"Okay." Chu Cheng nodded, and seeing that there would be no accidents here, he left. After leaving the villa, he first called a free person to find the psychology team to come in, and then he carried Ye Miao's backpack to find the members who had mental breakdowns and distributed food to everyone.

Everyone was busy for the next half day.

The aftermath of the Red Maple attack was far more complex than the Dauntless attack. While the annexation meant many items didn't need to be moved directly and could be left alone, the spoils still needed to be counted, otherwise they would be difficult to find later.

So when Ye Miao walked into the warehouse, he made the same sigh as when he was in the Fearless Village: Wei Hua, you are sick, you are sicker than Xu Wu.

Because Red Maple Village had been around longer, and because it exploited its members relentlessly, leaving them virtually no personal property, the inventory in its warehouse was ridiculously large. Nearly 30,000 cards alone were amassed. When Ye Miao saw this, her jaw dropped in surprise. "Are these skill cards? Are they collecting Magic cards?!"

In addition to this, there was also equipment. Ye Miao was already very surprised by the boxes of purple equipment that Xu Wu had at that time, but when he looked at the Red Maple Village, the boxes of purple equipment filled up one-third of the wall, and the other two-thirds of the wall was occupied by boxes of blue equipment, while the boxes on the other side were all filled with white equipment.

Horrible, so horrible!

Ye Miao couldn't help but sigh: If a lord can exploit the members of the territory without any scruples, he will indeed be able to possess astonishing wealth!

Wei Hua wouldn't feel guilty about taking this kind of supplies?!

Ye Miao sighed and looked at the rest of the boxes, some containing medicine, some containing food, each of which could be piled up into a small mountain.

This is sick, really sick. Even if Wei Hua was a 500-pound fat man, it would probably take hundreds of years to use up all these things. What is he trying to achieve by exploiting players so desperately?

After understanding the general situation, Ye Miao walked out of the warehouse door and called in Fang Yuming, Yi Hang, Deng Wei and other trusted senior players. He told them, "Help us pack up. Take half of each item back with you, and leave the rest here for now."

"Okay!" Yi Hang agreed easily, ran into the warehouse and started working. Less than five minutes later, he accidentally opened a high-end storage box and exclaimed, "Fuck, that's a lot of money."

Ye Miao, who was also busy, looked back and saw that the box was full.

The high-level storage boxes could hold 300,000 gold coins. There were four such boxes, and several mid-level storage boxes also held money. This meant that after upgrading the laser turret, Wei Hua still had over a million gold coins in his savings, enough to upgrade the city.

Behind this, countless players died tragically.

Ye Miao shook his head: "Just carry one box of gold coins back, and put the remaining three boxes aside for now."

"Okay." Yi Hang nodded and put the entire large box into his backpack. Storage space in games is so unreasonable, but it is indeed easy.

Ye Miao looked at the box of gold coins and thought deeply, then asked, "Where's Chu Cheng?"

Fang Yuming, who was packing medicines in the corner, paused and glanced at her silently.

Yi Hang opened the panel: "I don't know, I'll call him over." After that, he sent a message to tell Chu Cheng to come to the warehouse.

This time, Chu Cheng took about twenty minutes to get here. He walked into the house, looked around, found Ye Miao, and walked straight over to her: "I'm here."

Ye Miao was packing a box into his backpack and breathed a sigh of relief after he finished. "I heard it cost you 100,000 gold coins to rescue Feng Xiaohao? Is that true?"

"...Ahem." Chu Cheng felt uneasy and looked up at the wall. "Saving people isn't about money."

"Don't be so polite." Ye Miao smiled and pointed to a box not far away. "That's the money Wei Hua looted. You can take the 100,000 and leave. It's your due."

"Oh." Chu Cheng smiled after hearing this, walked over to open the box, and calmly took out 100,000 gold coins. He then said to Ye Miao, "The core players and non-core players have been preliminarily distinguished."

"Huh?!" Ye Miao couldn't help but be surprised, "How do you tell them apart?!"

Chu Cheng: "Force them to reveal their attribute panels and check their backpacks. Those with abundant skills and a full backpack are core players. Those with abundant skills but nothing left in their backpacks are non-core players who are doing OK in the territory. Those with clean panels and backpacks, who are broke and have nothing, are bottom-tier players."

"...Sure!" Ye Miao exclaimed in admiration. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Then how many players are there at the bottom level?"

Chu Cheng: "There are about 400 people, less than 300 of them are just getting by, about 100 high-level players, and 43 of them are core members."

"Is that so?" Ye Miao thought for a moment. "How about this, you take another 100,000 gold coins and divide them among the lower-level players, distributing 200 gold coins to each person. When we go back later, take the lower-level players and core members with you, and keep those who are doing well here for now, and we'll talk about it later."

In this regard, Ye Miao's idea is: the low-level players need to quickly stay away from the bullying environment, the core members need to be taken back and handed over to the legal team, and as for those who are doing well and not too much of an accomplice, they can be left here for now, and nothing serious will happen.

Chu Cheng basically figured out her thoughts after listening to her and nodded: "Okay. Do you want the psychology team to stay for a while?"

Ye Miao thought for a moment and said, "No, let's take those who have signed the indentures back with us. I'll arrange a place for them to live and let the psychology team take care of them there."

"Okay." Chu Cheng understood and went back to work quickly and efficiently.

They were busy until five o'clock in the evening, and things were finally almost done. Ye Miao took out 500,000 gold coins and 1,000 purple cards, 2,000 blue cards, and 2,000 bottles of various medicines and put them into his backpack. He sent rewards to all the members present through the panel: 500 gold coins, 1 random purple card, 2 random blue cards, and 2 random medicines.

After pressing the confirm button, the system read the corresponding items in the backpack and deducted them successfully. Ye Miao soon heard cheers from outside: "Wow, boss, you're so generous! This trip was worth it!"

"Is there anything better than doing good things and making money?!"

In the warehouse, Yi Hang clicked his tongue and handed the reward he had just received back to Ye Miao.

Ye Miao: "What?"

Yi Hang: "I don't need anything. Boss, give it to Xiao Hao or other members with PTSD. Just think of it as me sending warmth!"

"I don't need any either." Deng Wei looked around and only kept a blue card for control skills. She handed the rest back and added a handful of candies for herself. "I bought these candies specifically for them before we came out. Boss, can you ask the psychology team to share them among them?"

"Okay, I will definitely convey everyone's good intentions." Ye Miao smiled, found another white quality backpack to put the things they handed over, then strode out of the warehouse to find the psychology team.

Ten minutes later, the group set off on their return journey. Since they had previously provided lunch and given 200 gold coins to each of the lower-level players, most people had calmed down and, upon hearing Ye Miao's instructions to leave, followed quietly without much objection.

When Ye Miao led his men out in the morning, there were nearly a thousand people in the team. When they returned, there were nearly five hundred more people, and they walked on the road in a menacing manner.

Ye Miao was riding at the front of the group, not in a hurry to get going, but thinking about the next arrangements. Chu Cheng was also riding a horse, occasionally running back and forth to check if anyone had fallen behind or escaped.

Nearing 20:00, everyone returned to the town where they got rich overnight.

Ye Miao had already made arrangements. Once everyone entered the territory, Deng Wei turned around and called out, "Those of you who just received 200 gold coins, please follow me. I'll show you around the reception hall! You can buy a house there, and you can also apply for a small interest-free loan of an additional 500 gold coins. Come with me!"

Hearing this, more than 400 people followed in a bustling crowd, creating a lively scene. Ye Miao, perched on horseback, looked intently and smiled.

On the other side, Yi Hang and Chen Qibin, with stern faces, shouted fiercely at the 43 core members: "This way, hurry up! You're usually so arrogant, but why are you wasting time now?"

Seeing this, Ye Miao clicked his tongue, shifted his gaze slightly, and noticed Wei Hua being carried away by Chu Cheng himself.

Wei Hua's good equipment was gone, and his face was bruised. If she guessed correctly, it must have been Feng Xiaohao who had beaten him. She had originally intended to let Feng Xiaohao vent his anger, but now it seemed that she had been too naive.

Feng Xiaohao was still young and not very strong, so the damage he caused to Wei Hua was minimal, reducing his health bar by less than one-fifth. Then think about the psychological trauma Wei Hua had caused Feng Xiaohao...

Haha, Ye Miao gritted his teeth: Watch me kill you with my own hands in a few days!

After arranging a few miscellaneous things, Ye Miao rode his horse back to the door of his residence and dismounted.

Um……

With her level and attributes at hand, it was easy for her to get on the horse. She just pushed hard with the pedals and used inertia to get up.

On the contrary, falling down was a bit of a struggle. If she flipped over directly, her toes wouldn't touch the ground, and if she let go suddenly, her foot would easily stomp and hurt. Just now, when she was with Hongfeng, she dismounted too quickly, and her right foot took a long time to recover from the pain. She even lost a symbolic 50 health points.

Since there was nothing to do now, Ye Miao planned to go down slowly and calmly, stepping on the ground bit by bit.

Alas, some people are so majestic when they conquer other people’s territories, but they lose blood when they get off the horse!

Ye Miao stared at the distance between his toes and the ground, feeling a pang of sadness: Did Napoleon also face this kind of dilemma when he was conquering the world?! ①

When she was still a few centimeters from the ground, a hand firmly placed on her arm.

Ye Miao, who was concentrating on getting off the horse, suddenly looked up. Chu Cheng smiled faintly: "I locked Wei Hua in my basement."

Thankfully, he didn't laugh at the speed of her dismount.

Ye Miao's face was still uncomfortable for a moment, and with his support, she quickly landed. In the shadows not far away, Fang Yuming paused.

He watched silently. Ye Miao raised his head, a smile spreading across his cheek: "Give someone a taste of their own medicine, huh?"

Chu Cheng sighed softly, "I originally wanted to do this, but my basement is a storage room. There's nothing else there, but I have enough food. It's much better than that damn place of his."

"Is that so?" Ye Miao's lips twitched slightly. In his heart, he didn't want Wei Hua to touch Chu Cheng's food. After thinking for a while, he said, "Why don't we find an empty stone house to lock him up. Anyway, he can't launch any attacks in the territory now, and the stone house can't be demolished. You can find a lock and hang it on the doors and windows and he'll be safe."

"That's fine." Chu Cheng nodded after thinking about it. "Then I'll go right away." He took off his backpack and handed a lunch box to her. "Dinner."

She was here to deliver food! She had been so busy that day that she had forgotten about it!

In a thatched house in a residential area, Song Tian sat on the bed in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

that's all?

Did she just join the legendary "Pure Land" and the town where people get rich overnight?

You know, she was still worried about her survival last night. Now...

Song Tian looked around blankly. The thatched hut she was living in was exactly the same as the one in Hongfeng Village, but it only cost 50 gold coins.

50 gold coins allowed her to have a place to live in this new territory, while in the Red Maple Village, a thatched hut cost 650 gold coins.

"Am I dreaming?" Song Tian muttered to herself, and suddenly there was a knock on the door.

There were two "knock knock" sounds, and Song Tian looked towards the door, but because she was distracted just now, she thought she was hallucinating.

But soon, the door knocked twice again.

"I'm coming." Song Tian said loudly, standing up and going to open the door. The door opened, and outside was a young girl's smiling face.

"Hello!" NPC Xiao Miao, carrying a bamboo basket in his right hand, bowed to Song Tian. "I'm an employee of Da Hu Restaurant. Our boss heard that a new member has moved in from Hongfeng Village, so he asked me to bring some food!"

After saying that, Xiao Miao reached into the bamboo basket, and when he took it out, there was a small paper bag in his hand, and the name of the item was displayed as [Red Bean Paste Crisp].

"You can come to our store if you have the chance. It's the first store on the left in the first row of the small market area!" Xiao Miao stuffed the red bean paste pastry into Song Tian's hand. "I won't bother you any more!" After saying that, he skipped away.

"...Thank you." Song Tian was a little dazed and said to Xiao Miao's back.

At the same time, He Kailai walked into Hu Haomiaolin's Da Hu Restaurant. It was already late, and there were not many customers in the restaurant. He Kailai sat directly at the table closest to the kitchen and spoke to the couple through a door curtain: "Hey, are you free tonight? Can you help me out? I'll pay you two."

"What's the matter?" Hu Hao asked casually.

He Kailai: "I heard that the new members the boss brought back are all low-level players. They're not well-off and probably don't have much to keep warm. It's really cold right now. I just learned the skill card for sweet potato porridge yesterday, and I want to make some and send it to them. A bowl of it will keep them warm all night."

"Oh, this is a good deed!" Miao Lin poked her head out. "Then wait a moment, we'll come after we finish what we're doing! Should we go to your house or your shop? Forget about the wages, it's so formal. So we can't do good deeds too?"

"Okay, then I'll go to the store and wait for you two." He Kailai was no longer polite, stood up, and walked away leisurely.

That night, Ye Miao had a good sleep. When she woke up the next day, she told Chu Cheng that she wanted to go to the small market to buy breakfast and that she didn't need the meal to be delivered. Then she went out and strolled around yawning.

Finally, she chose a shop that specialized in wontons and dumplings, ordered some wontons, and sat down in the open-air area outside. Just as she had eaten half of the wontons, someone sat down opposite her.

Ye Miao looked up in horror. Liu Ying's chin was resting on the table, and her eyes were full of fatigue.

"?" Ye Miao stared at her, "What's wrong?"

"I'm dying of grief," Liu Ying sighed. "This night was too intense. Over thirty people with deep psychological trauma are almost breaking down the four of us. Hurry up and ask if there are any other psychiatrists in the territory. I think after this, the four of us will need counseling."

"..." Ye Miao expressed deep sympathy, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a bonus later. Do you really need a psychologist..."

"We really need them. I'm not complaining, I'm serious!" Liu Ying said with a serious face. "Recruit as many as you can to help us. And keep the other two away from getting involved. Stay calm and wait to save us later."

"Okay, I'll ask for you. If there's none in the territory, I'll try recruiting from outside." Ye Miao smiled bitterly. Liu Ying said "thank you" and turned around to order a bowl of wontons. She said to Ye Miao, "After eating, I'll go see Xiao Hao. I'll see the results of my treatment and heal myself!"

Ye Miao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In these conversations, almost every sentence Liu Ying said contained the implication of "I'm hurt", which shows that the situation last night was indeed miserable.

Ye Miao lowered his head and took another bite of wonton. His mind turned, and he raised his head and said, "In addition to recruiting a psychologist, I'll have the legal team transfer two people over to sit in on your trial. Is that okay with you?"

"Hmm?" Liu Ying was puzzled. "It's not very convenient. We have to ensure patient privacy... But can I ask why you want to do this?"

"In order to convict Wei Hua," Ye Miao said, "I think it would be better to let them understand the specific circumstances."

"Is that so..." Liu Ying's sense of justice was aroused. Putting aside her personal career, she also wanted to see that bastard Wei Hua die tragically.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Then wait until their condition improves, and then I'll ask for their personal wishes. If anyone is willing to submit medical records or communicate with the legal team, I'll go directly to the legal team!"

"Okay!" Ye Miao agreed happily.

Ultimately, it took five days to convict Wei Hua. On the fifth day, several members who had experienced relatively better psychological trauma began to recover and accepted Liu Ying's request. Liu Ying immediately contacted the legal team to inquire about the situation.

That evening, six people from the legal team came to Ye Miao's house and told him two things:

——First, after the legal team met with several witnesses, they felt that they also needed psychological counseling.

Ye Miao: "Stop it! We don't have enough psychiatrists anymore! Can you guys just calm down on your own?"

The head of the legal team sat on the sofa, his forehead propped up, his eyes dull. "It's easy to say, Boss. Just try listening to that for eight hours straight..."

“…”

Ye Miao held it in for two seconds, and was forced to compromise: "Okay, I'll arrange it for you when we recruit new people."

"Hey, thanks, boss." The team leader suddenly laughed, perked up, and handed over a few pages of paper. "This is my suggestion for Wei Hua. Please take a look!"

"Let me see." Ye Miao reached out to take it and flipped through it. The first few pages were all some specific details, including the various heinous murder processes described by the witnesses.

She then flipped to the end, quickly found the key point, and saw that it said in the second half of the night: It is recommended to impose repeated death penalty.

What the hell is repeated death penalty?

Ye Miao looked down and saw a note below that said, in a tone of uncertainty: "After repeated discussions, we wonder if we can make good use of the game mechanics and use skills to reduce Wei Hua's health to below 100. Then use healing skills or blood-replenishing potions to restore health, and then repeat this process."

Ye Miao did not expect this result.

After reading it, she was silent for a long time, then raised her head in doubt: "Are you sure? Are you kidding me?"

The six members of the legal team looked at each other, and one of the women said, "Boss, this is it. We really didn't want to do this at first. As lawyers, we have to respect the law, and that includes self-discipline. But after listening to the witnesses' accounts, we think this guy is going too far. On second thought... This is the end of the world, and order has collapsed into chaos. What good are the few pages of laws written by our small territory? Only by appropriately reinstating torture can we increase the deterrent effect."

Ye Miao didn't object to this idea. From the first day she crossed over to this world, she had never intended to be a living Bodhisattva.

But she thought for a moment and asked, "'Repeat this process' means how many times? Have you discussed this? It wouldn't be appropriate for me to decide, would it?"

"No need for the boss to decide." The team leader smiled. "I think we can get a dice with a maximum score of 6. Let the 34 victims and Feng Xiaohao take turns rolling the dice. The sum of the scores will be the final number."

Ye Miao: "...you are really something."

The team leader added, "We've calculated that the final number of reps is between 35 and 210. It would be very tiring for one person to do it all. So, we can let them take turns doing the first half of each session, and the boss can find a few people to control the second half to prevent them from getting so angry that they beat people to death."

"Forget it." Ye Miao made an appropriate refusal. "They already have mental problems, and doing something like this is even more abnormal. Feng Xiaohao, who has recovered well enough, can participate in a few rounds. The others can just watch for a while to vent their anger, but don't even look at them."

When she mentioned the mental state of those people, the team leader immediately felt that it made sense and nodded slowly: "Boss, you are really thoughtful."

"Then let's do it as soon as possible." Ye Miao sighed, "Let's settle this issue tomorrow morning. I feel like it's a waste of the territory's food after keeping Wei Hua for five days."

The next morning at seven o'clock, the players woke up and walked out of their rooms to see someone being held captive in the territory square. The atmosphere in the town of Get Rich Overnight was friendly, and no one had ever seen such a scene before. They all gathered around to take a look.

Ye Miao had been sitting idly by the campfire, waiting. Seeing the crowd gathering, she stood up, picked up the megaphone she had someone buy in advance, and pointed at Wei Hua, saying, "This man is the leader of Red Maple Village. You've probably all heard about what he did. A few days ago, after we captured Red Maple Village, we brought back over 30 members who had signed indentures. Every one of them has serious psychological problems!"

"In addition, according to various sources, Wei Hua has at least 22 lives on his hands. Please note that these 22 lives do not include those he had to kill in order to survive in the apocalypse. They are all members of his own territory, and almost all of them were beaten to death by him! Among them are Feng Xiaohao's parents!"

"Kill him!" Someone in the crowd started shouting, "Kill him! Boss, don't show any mercy!"

Ye Miao turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. He looked calmly at the players who were filled with righteous indignation. "Yes, I can just kill him directly, just like I did when someone robbed the territory before."

"But I always think that's also a kind of arbitrariness. If I keep indulging myself in whatever I want, I might become like him." Her voice was very clear, and even though it changed a little after being amplified by the loudspeaker, it was still beautiful.

The members were silent for a while, and then someone said unwillingly: "Then should we let him go?!"

"We can't let him go!"

"Of course we can't let him go." Ye Miao smiled and shook her head, her twin ponytails swaying slightly. "So, some time ago, I gathered legal professionals to formulate laws for the territory, and the relevant rules will continue to be improved in the future. We can kill people, but we must do so according to the law. This is the difference between us and beasts like him! We can't take human life lightly!"

There was another silence, and then there was a surprised gasp from the crowd, followed by applause.

"Now, according to the legal team's ruling!" Ye Miao, fearing he'd forget his words, promptly pulled out the document the legal team had handed over. "Sentence Wei Hua to 'repeated death penalty'—that is, use various attacks to reduce his health below 300, then use healing spells and medicine to restore it, repeating over and over again. The number of cycles is the sum of the number of dice rolled by the victim!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her voice and said with a touch of boldness: "Bring me the dice!"

Chu Cheng walked out of the crowd, holding a huge dice in his arms. The dice was made by Lao Shuai, and the material was a high-density sponge. It was not light and was very resistant to drops.

Ye Miao looked behind him again: "Who goes first?"

More than thirty victims looked at each other in bewilderment. Although many of them had a glint of expectation in their eyes, they also had an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

"I'll go first!" Feng Xiaohao rushed forward, took the dice, closed his eyes and made a wish, "To avenge my parents, at least roll a 2."

Each time it costs a life, Feng Xiaohao's thinking is restrained and fair.

After making the wish, Feng Xiaohao threw the dice high up, the dice flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground.

6!

It’s 6!
