Everyone: “…”

Barrage: “…”

After the extreme silence, the barrage exploded—

"Oh my god! This boss is so awesome!!"

"There's already such a powerful boss in the early stages? How can we play this game?!"

"Oh my god, Yi Chen and the others lost. How scary!"

"I've never seen such a powerful boss before. Even a whole team can't defeat her!"

"And I can't even see her health. Oh my god, I don't know how much she has left."

"Just stay calm... I already knew they were going to lose."

"Has she beaten a lot of players before?"

"Yes, but this boss usually doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. She won't explode unless it destroys the environment."

"After all—this is a sanitation worker! A real devil sweeping the floor."

"It should be 'Hunting the World Thanos'."

…

Hunting world.

After Bai Zhi finished speaking, someone couldn't help but mutter in frustration, "What kind of boss is this? Why would he keep me here to work? Why?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zhi picked up the broom and beat him.

"Ouch——" accompanied by a scream, a piece of equipment fell.

That person: “!!!”

Everyone: “…”

She bent down to pick up the various pieces of equipment on the ground and opened her bag.

——Everyone in Yi Chen’s team finally knew what was in the package!

——Those items are actually all equipment dropped by other players!!

Holy crap.

This boss can actually knock off the player's equipment!

Everyone in Yi Chen's team widened their eyes.

They watched as Bai Zhi piled all their dropped equipment into her bag, including Yi Chen's nearly divine weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Sword.

There were too many things to be tied up, so Baizhi just piled them there casually.

Then, Bai Zhi said expressionlessly, "Get to work."

Everyone looked at Yi Chen.

Yi Chen finally came to his senses, his face was pale and red.

Finally, he pursed his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Listen to her."

Everyone looked at each other with dim eyes, but they all struggled to get up, endured the pain, and started to work with bruised faces and noses.

Bai Zhi: "Let's build a house first. We need a small cabin with a corridor and a beautiful little yard."

"Roar!" The strange beast that had just climbed up was angry, "We are just restoring you to your original state. Why are you asking so many questions? We are not a renovation team. How could we--"

The sound stopped abruptly.

Bai Zhi grabbed his tail, lifted him up, and shook him violently a few times, causing all his equipment to fall off.

Strange beast: “???”

Everyone: “…”

One of the magicians swallowed and said, "We'll do our best..."

grass!

This boss is so scary!!

If they have a disagreement, all their equipment will be shaken away!

What is the equipment in Hunting World?

That's fate.

If they lose their lives, they will return to reality, but if they lose their equipment, how difficult it will be to reassemble it!

Yi Chen and his companions started to work. They had no choice but to surrender since they couldn't defeat the enemy.

They didn't want to lose the little equipment they had left, so they could only build a house for her. Although they were all capable, no one knew how to build a house, so it was a very bumpy and difficult task.

First, pull up the fallen tree and use it as materials, and then plant a new tree in the same place.

The big boss had an expressionless face and stared at them like an overseer.

If any member dared to cause trouble or provoke, he would be caught, shaken a few times, and his equipment would fall to the ground.

Her equipment piles grew higher and higher, and the people in Yi Chen's team became more and more obedient.

The strange beast lowered its voice and approached Yi Chen: "Boss, are we just going to work honestly like this? All the equipment is with her! What are we going to do in the future?"

Yi Chen took a deep breath and continued to lay the wooden floor. "Only if I'm alive can I continue the competition. Let's deal with her first. It's good enough if I can keep my life. I can work hard to get equipment later. This world has just begun... There is still a chance..."

He is also very angry!

These equipments are extremely important. Only with these equipments can you win in the later stages and get a high ranking.

But this woman is really amazing!

They were no match for her, and if they continued fighting, they would probably lose their lives.

He can only continue if he saves his life. Compared to encountering setbacks, if he dies before the first ranking is announced, the impact on him will be huge.

——And they are all bad influences.

The rest of the team also came over by laying the wooden planks——

"Well, that's right. I have to save my life first. I can also take this opportunity to observe her weaknesses. If possible..."

"Hush! Just keep it in mind."

"Little Fish, can your magic make the tree grow faster?"

"The lawn is OK, but the trees are a bit difficult. They only have a certain bonus effect. My magic is still relatively weak. If I cast magic every day and apply it to all the trees at the same time, it will take a month to grow them back to their original size."

"It's taking so long?"

"Yes, trees grow according to years. Although these big trees are false products of the consciousness world, we are inside it, and these trees are all old trees. It takes many years for them to grow normally."

"Oh, I should have avoided damaging the tree earlier. I never thought a tree could be so troublesome!"

…

As a large team, we should be doing missions and fighting bosses just like other teams.

Because they are so powerful, even if they walk in the hunting world, no one dares to touch them for the time being...

But I never expected that they are now squatting together, discussing "how to build the house", "how to make the trees grow as quickly as possible" and so on.

The barrage is already full——

"How miserable."

"It's so pitiful! Hongri next door is fighting a boss again and he dropped a treasure map."

"Fuck, what luck!!"

"We're both fighting bosses, why is there such a huge difference?"

"Don't blame the team for the huge gap, blame the boss for the huge gap!"

"Honestly... I think this NPC is getting more and more awesome, and the more I watch, the more I'm hooked."

"I don't even want to watch other teams fight anymore. I just want to watch the NPCs supervise Yi Chen's team in repairing houses and planting trees. Haha!"

"Yi Chen will come back for revenge sooner or later!"

…

It is still unknown whether Yi Chen will be able to take revenge in the future, but for now, he and his team can only work honestly.

A month later.

A pretty wooden house was built on the site of the original thatched house. It had a large garden and a wooden fence. The magician cast a spell on the garden, and it was full of flowers. It looked quite nice.

The grass was already green, and this part was relatively easy for their team that had magicians and cultivators.

As for the tree, it had grown back to its original size, and the magician was exhausted.

Bai Zhi inspected the teacup and nodded, "You can go now."

Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, and no one moved.

——Obviously, there is something to be said for this.

Bai Zhi looked at them.

Yi Chen tried to calm himself down and took a step forward. "I wonder if the master could return the equipment he took from us earlier?"

Bai Zhi smiled: "No."

Very neat and tidy.

Yi Chen: “…”

Beside him, the strange beast couldn't help but interrupt: "Master, these are all player equipment, there's no use for you to keep them."

Bai Zhi tilted her head: "Selling points."

Strange beast: “…”

Yi Chen: "...then can you sell it to us?"

Bai Zhi touched her chin and nodded: "That's fine."

However...even if they could, they couldn't buy the equipment.

——Because there are no points.

There is no way. For these large teams, what is important in the early stages is equipment, and the points have been spent long ago!

"Then can you keep it for us? We will come back to redeem it soon." Yi Chen looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi: "That depends on whether you can earn points before I sell it."

Yi Chen took a deep breath and was almost pissed off by this NPC.

He looked at her and tried to slow down his tone: "Is there some important equipment that can help us stay? We can give you some extra points."

Bai Zhi: "Double."

——It’s simply robbery!

Yi Chen: “…”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

Bai Zhi: "Deal, come and redeem it within a month."

Yi Chen: “…Okay.”

Does he have the right to refuse?

Even though they knew that this NPC had imposed unfair terms, they still had only one choice: to carry out the agreement!

After saying this, he left with his men in a murderous manner.

——They have to earn points as quickly as possible.

Double the price, but not cheap at all!

After they left, Bai Zhi sat on the lounge chair in the yard, put down her teacup, and basked in the sun comfortably.

Barrage——

"She's such a wimp! She's made Yi Chen and the others suffer like that, and even burdened them with debts, yet she's sleeping soundly."

"Speaking of which, why does an NPC need points? Does she even need to participate in the rankings?"

"Yi Chen and the others want to get points as quickly as possible, and the next month won't be easy."

"Fuck, I'll say it again, this NPC is really awesome!!"

"Does she have a name? She's my idol!!"

"NPCs probably don't have names, but I really want to know her name. I can't always call her by her name..."

"Hunting the World Thanos?"

…

They were chatting in the barrage and thought Bai Zhi was asleep.

But in reality, Bai Zhi was also talking to 444 in her mind——

444 was very confused: "Master, why did you let them go? In the original story, they also came to kill Bei Baizhi, and they killed her one at a time."

It was already the middle stage of the hunting world at that time, and they didn't care about the water-repellent bead at first.

Yes, later on, the entire hunting world knew that the treasure map dropped by the NPC Bei Baizhi pointed to the Water-Repellent Beads.

Yi Chen's team was busy fighting the boss and had no time to take care of such a small boss.

But later they have to go to an underwater world to find something, and each person needs a water-repellent bead.

So they came.

Although Bei Baizhi was not tortured to death, it was still very painful for the entire team to cause her to die more than twenty times in a row.

Given Bai Zhi's vindictive nature, 444 didn't expect her to let them go so easily...

Bai Zhi said softly with a smile: "Because I need points, they can bring me a lot of points."

After a pause, her voice was lazy and meaningful: "444, you don't understand. Being alive now is not a good thing. For those who hunt the world, dying now... is a good thing."

444: "What do you mean?"

Bai Zhi didn't explain, she just said calmly: "Just take your time and read it."

444 was confused and asked again, "Then why do you need points?"

Bai Zhi: "Didn't I say that? Now I can only be a bug, controlling the world on a small scale."

"Points can allow you to control the entire world?!" 444 was stunned.

Baizhi just smiled without saying anything, which was very meaningful.

I don't know why, but 444 always has a creepy feeling about it.

Bai Zhi in this world does not conduct experiments. Instead, she spends a lot of time closing her eyes and resting.

But this abnormality made 444 feel strange, there was always a feeling -

A chilling feeling down your spine.

What exactly is this woman trying to do? What does she know?

The Yichen team at this moment.

As soon as they walked out of Bai Zhi's sight, the player with the strange beast gnashed his teeth and said, "She stole all my equipment! Damn it!"

Magician: "Do we really have to find a way to get points? How can we get so many points in a month?"

"Yeah, it's too much! I've never seen such an outrageous NPC. What's going on in Hunting World this time? Our team can't beat this NPC, so can other teams? Why do they have to create such a big boss at the beginning?!" Someone raised his hand angrily.

He wanted to punch the tree beside the road, after all, he used to do that.

However, when he saw the tree, he thought of that NPC, and when he thought of that NPC, he thought of how many years it takes for a tree to grow...

His hand was reluctant to drop.

——Fuck, it really left a psychological trauma!

Yi Chen took a deep breath. "Do we have any other options? This should be a late-stage boss, but we provoked her prematurely. We must recover those equipment, unless we can find a way to deal with her within a month."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Yi Chen: "We don't have any other options right now, so we can only work hard to get points first."

As if he had thought of something, his eyes darkened and he gritted his teeth: "Who told us the news about her?!"

Strange Beast: "This is a message from a player named Zhuo Yi."

He was also very angry and cursed: "Don't let me see this bastard!"

"Yes, it's all that Zhuo Yi's fault. How could he not fight the BOSS after he discovered him? He found him too powerful after the fight, so he lured us all here!"

"Damn it! I'm going to spread the word and put a bounty on Zhuo Yi! Kill him!"

"If it weren't for him, how could we have been delayed for a month, lost all our equipment, and owed so many points?"

"Don't let me meet him, or I will cut him into pieces!"

…

Yi Chen said with a serious face: "Let's go, let's get to work."

Under pressure, Yi Chen's team desperately tried to gain points, and even began to hunt down some high-scoring players who were alone.

Their creditor, NPC Baizhi, just basks in the sun and rests his eyes every day.

She was basking in the sun on a lounge chair, but the comments were still lively——

"I don't understand why I'm here every day watching this 'Hunting the World Thanos' basking in the sun?"

"I don't understand why I pay so much attention to an NPC."

"I just went to check next door. Yichen and his friends are in such a plight. They're working day and night to collect points."

“…The contrast is striking.”

"How long is she going to sleep? Why doesn't she do something?"

"She's an NPC, no one comes to find her, what does she need to do?"

"Oh yeah, she's an NPC. She was so active before that I almost forgot she was fake and didn't need to do anything."

"I really wish she was a real person, she's so cool."

…

At this time, Bai Zhi suddenly stretched, got up, and slowly left dragging her broom.

Barrage: "What is she going to do?"

Soon, they found out.

She went to a place where treasure was hidden and took the treasure there.

Barrage: "How did she know there was a treasure here?"

After Baizhi took the treasure, she dragged the broom and slowly left.

The audience continued to follow her.

But soon, a sentence floated across the barrage -

"Go to where she just took the treasure!"

Everyone was shocked and hurried back.

Then, they soon discovered that a team with a treasure map had arrived at the treasure site, but found nothing...

"Is this it?"

"That's where it's marked on the map."

"Did someone already take it?"

"Impossible! This is the big boss we spent so much time fighting. The treasure he's pointing to must be something only we can get!"

"Ahhh, then why is it gone?!"

…

Barrage: "...We know."

Barrage: "But we can't tell you."

An NPC, what's the point of looking for treasure?!

Soon they found out and she sold it.

Next, the audience kept watching Bai Zhi, watching her sleep at night, bask in the sun in the morning, sweep the floor at noon, go to the treasure hiding place in the afternoon to take away the treasure, and go to the market to sell the treasure at night...

This cycle lasted for more than half a month.

The hunting world was in a state of chaos, with all kinds of rumors flying around.

"I don't know what's going on lately? Almost all the treasures on the treasure map are gone!"

"That's impossible. How can we go to a treasure trove without a treasure map?"

"Yeah, is this a new setting? What does it do?"

"It's so trippy. So many people have already left."

"Forget it, let's not think about this anymore. Do you want to go to the market?"

"Go! Ever since that NPC who always sells equipment and treasures showed up, the market has been especially lively at night."

"Why does that NPC have good stuff to sell every day?"

"I don't know. I don't understand. I feel like that NPC has a quest, but many people have tried, and she hasn't posted any."

"If the quest isn't posted, it's impossible that this NPC took the treasure and sold it, right? Haha."

"You're just joking around all the time."

…

Barrage: "...Man, we're getting closer to the truth."

Baizhi's operation is so fascinating that more and more people are paying attention to it, and the forum is becoming more and more popular.

Soon, people in the awareness department noticed it.

When setting up, they will not plan everything that each NPC should do. Like intelligent robots, they will give them a certain amount of intelligence and let them play on their own.

So when the forum first discussed that there was an NPC that was very psychedelic, the consciousness department didn't pay much attention to it.

However, they paid attention to the hunting world and discovered some anomalies. They also found that the treasures in the treasure land had been taken away. At this time, the forum "Psychedelic NPC" had become very popular.

When the two were combined, they immediately discovered the problem!

"What's going on? Isn't this NPC pointing to the Water-Repellent Bead?"

"How come she's taking items from other treasure sites to sell? And she's fought against many teams and won every time?"

"It's really weird!"

…

Zhou Ming, the Hunting World leader in the Awareness Department, looked at the technicians with a dark expression: "How did you set it up?!"

Zhao Pingan, one of the technicians, looked blankly: "I, I don't know either..."

They consciously set up too many NPCs and bosses, so much so that they themselves couldn't remember many of them.

This is a whole world, with tens of millions of contestants, tens of millions of NPCs and countless bosses. It is very difficult for them to remember each one clearly.

"Why don't you check it out right away!" Zhou Ming got angry.

Zhao Ping'an hurriedly began to investigate. Soon, he reported in confusion: "There is a little bug, but it shouldn't be that serious. I don't know why she behaves so strangely..."

Zhou Ming: "I don't care. You must solve this problem for me right now. This world hunting is the most important project of the Awareness Department. It is very important to me. I will not allow any accidents to happen!"

Chen Gang, the technician next to Zhao Ping'an, said hurriedly, "Okay, since the bug has already appeared, let's just force her to change the plot line and give her a more detailed setting. She has already ruined the original plot, so we have to write a new one. We can't let the contestants and the audience feel uncomfortable."

Zhou Ming's expression brightened: "Why don't you two hurry up and do it."

"Okay!" They both responded.

Hunting the world.

Bai Zhi had just sat up when her eyes suddenly became fierce.

Soon, she closed her eyes slightly and lay down again.

She looked like she was asleep, with the sunlight shining on her, making her look very peaceful.

In reality, Zhao Pingan and Chen Gang reported to Zhou Ming——

"nailed it."

Hunting world, Baizhi opened her eyes.

She sat up, lowered her eyes slightly to hide the light in them, pushed her glasses, and spoke in a hoarse and low voice -

"nailed it."

It's time.
