The fourth copy

Unable to refuse the kind offer, Du Ming finally accepted the bottle of beer, acting like a layman who had just entered the workplace and was appreciated by his boss.

As the sky gradually darkened, a cold wind suddenly blew from the center of the lake, making people on the shore feel chilly.

Several girls were shouting, "It's a bit cold, boss, let's go back."

"Okay..." The boss leaned back in his chair with his mouth wide open and was helped into the car by the HR manager.

Those who hadn't drunk alcohol took their drunken colleagues back one by one, leaving them the same way they came. Du Ming was left alone, seemingly forgotten on the shore.

His face was flushed with alcohol, and he was thrown on the shore unconscious.

The roar of the car gradually faded away, and suddenly a head popped out from the woods on the opposite bank.

One, two, three... countless heads tilted behind the tree, their blood-red eyes staring at the people on the other side.

The bright moon hung in the sky. Suddenly, a black shadow jumped up, followed by countless black shadows. The erect ears were clearly visible in the moonlight.

Just when the first rabbit delivery man was about to bite Du Ming, an invisible barrier successfully blocked him.

The sound of collisions rang out one after another, and countless rabbits were knocked unconscious on the barrier. Unseen by the rabbits, Cassia was gathering strength to stop them. The loss of strength made his state unstable, and horns and demonic energy emerged from his body uncontrollably.

Du Ming knew that the situation was urgent, so he said no more. He said something to Cassia and rushed back quickly.

The human resources manager was driving the car, his wrinkled face so stiff that he looked like a mannequin.

The boss, who should have been drunk in the back seat, was completely sober. His eyes were filled with indifference, and his mind was filled with the tragic sight of Du Ming being completely devoured by the rabbit.

This greatly pleased him, and he couldn't help but hum a song under his breath.

At this moment, the whole car was suddenly hit by a heavy object, and the people in the car were so scared that they couldn't help but shout: "What's going on?!"

The boss suddenly sat up and turned to look out the window.

It was actually a human head.

Du Ming smiled like a ghost in the night, "I got you!"

Cassia's injury and the hatred from the previous copy greatly stimulated Du Ming's combat value. He waved a Tang sword and chopped the roof of the car vigorously.

He poked a hole in it in just a few strokes, and then with another push the roof flew off.

Amidst the screams of a group of NPCs, Du Ming suddenly dragged the boss out, "It's you, the old demon king's subordinate."

The boss' pupils subconsciously shrank, and he blurted out: "How did you know?!"

How do you know?

First: Colleague A is too enthusiastic. Although NPCs will not kill players, few will take the initiative to help each other.

Second: When Du Ming tied the man up on the 17th floor that day, he had actually planted a recorder on him. This recorder only lasted for ten minutes and would automatically deactivate when the time was up. Du Ming had only planted it for safety reasons.

Who would have thought that something like this would happen in the stairwell, and it would be a blessing in disguise.

Third: When he wanted to go to his boss to resign for the first time, he felt a little strange when so many eyes were staring at him as soon as he walked to the door.

Taking all these doubts into consideration, coupled with this team-building activity, it is hard not to know.

But of course Du Ming would not tell anyone about this. He took out the feather that Cassia gave him from his pocket and inserted it directly into the boss's chest.

"ah--"

The gray and white mixed feathers turned into a pool of blue water and flowed into the wound. A copy core with many sharp edges flew out automatically, and the boss who served as the carrier of the copy turned into a cloud of ash and scattered in the wind.

After finishing what he wanted to do and getting rid of the remaining few subordinates of the old demon king, Du Ming returned to Cassia.

"How is it?" Du Ming asked with concern.

Because he had reabsorbed the core of the copy, Cassia's face had turned a lot redder. He smiled and said, "I feel much better now."

After recovering the copy core, the two's mission was temporarily completed.

After spending another day in the dungeon and quickly finishing the story, Du Ming walked out of the file book.

As soon as he came out, he met several people from the Brave Legion. Some of them recognized him and took the initiative to greet Du Ming.

After Du Ming returned the greetings one by one, he found a familiar question and asked, "Are your regimental commander and deputy regimental commander in this archive?"

The man replied: "The leader is not here, but the deputy is here, but he just entered the dungeon?"

So that's how it is.

Du Ming nodded in understanding and asked for some other information.

This person knows everything.

From the member, Du Ming learned that when he was doing the dungeon mission, the Du family integrated several teams and took control of dozens of large dungeons, hundreds of medium-sized dungeons, and more than a thousand small dungeons.

this...

Du Ming: "Is there no one else who objects?" Isn't there the Liu family, the large army corps and so on.

An indignant expression appeared on the man's face. "Don't even mention objecting. Several large-scale dungeons were contributed by those large armies. I wonder how much the Du family has fooled these people."

Then, the team member continued to talk about other things.

Overall, the current situation can be said to be quite bad. Du Ming couldn't wait for the deputy leader of the Brave Legion to come out of the game, but directly asked that member to contact the leader Qi Qiang.

The conversation was connected a minute later, and Du Ming walked aside and spoke quietly to Qi Qiang.

On the last day of the game, when Du Ming was following the storyline, he had been discussing with Cassia how to respond next.

Combined with the latest information obtained today, we can tentatively regard the Monster Archives as a place to accumulate strength in the early stages.

Even though the old demon king's subordinates destroyed the cores of multiple copies, their actual strength is not as exaggerated as everyone imagined, otherwise the Du family would not have come forward to gather everyone to control the large-scale copies.

They just want to obtain more weapons and power through large-scale copies, but it is not so easy for them to truly control the copies.

Regardless of anything else, Cassia was the current Demon King. As long as the NPCs didn't harbor ulterior motives, the rest would obey his orders.

The reason for not engaging in a large-scale war was simply to reduce casualties and to achieve a large-scale purge of traitors.

Ba Feng and others caught Cassia off guard, which caused him to be injured.

Therefore, the current task is mainly to repair the core of the copy and heal Cassia's injuries. If we can rely on other people to curb the momentum of the Du family's development at the same time, it will be an extra blessing.

He just didn't believe that so many people could not defeat the Du family and other major families. Besides, the goal of ordinary people was just to make a living.

Du Ming had an idea in his mind and told Qi Qiang about it.

The result of the two people's discussion was to temporarily tell everyone the secrets of passing some small copies. Repeatedly passing a copy will also accumulate the energy of the copy, and eventually lead to the upgrade of the copy.

This is also why Du Ming was able to pry open the NPC's mouth through the path of "cooperation" in the first copy.

Mutual benefit, that's all.

After hearing Du Ming's plan, Qi Qiang agreed very much. He quickly asked someone to list the small copies he had and selected a few that were suitable for clearing the copies.

Du Ming is also preparing to announce the secret of the Pure Beauty copy he just completed.

Firstly, the core of the dungeon has been destroyed, requiring players to clear it to gain energy. Secondly, to clear the dungeon, players simply need to play their roles well and complete the tasks according to the plot. Once the core is controlled by Cassia, players can enter the dungeon without any life-threatening danger.

It's perfect for gaining points.

Du Ming sorted out the key points of passing the level, wrote them on a piece of paper, and had the contact person hand it to Qi Qiang. Then he immediately immersed himself in the new copy.

And Cassia was waiting there early.

You are an amateur private detective. Due to lack of money, you accept the commission from the villa owner to help investigate his wife and family doctor.

【He suspected that the two were having an affair! 】

Du Ming: “…”

Asking an amateur detective to investigate the cuckoldry is a really cool plot.

The sky was thick with dark clouds, and it looked like thunderclouds were rolling in. Du Ming was wearing a thin, light brown coat, and the cold wind was quite chilly. He put on his hat, wrapped himself tightly in his clothes, and strode towards the villa.
