Chapter 120 Mermaid Cruise

Black spots appeared on the golden ring.

But there was no sign of the young boy Bai Jin nearby.

Seeing Xiaoyi wagging his tail and about to pounce on him again, Xu Zhiyan gave up his clueless thinking and quickly stood up to avoid being pounced on by the puppy.

Jiang Huaique restrained his smile, he noticed Xu Zhiyan's surprise just now.

"What happened?" he asked.

Although the reason he chose to come to this shed was because he had used the Shadow of Death to explore it, it was temporarily safe here.

But now we are still in the dungeon, so we still need to stay alert at all times.

Xu Zhiyan poked Xiaoyi's dog's head with his fingertips, pushed the dog away, and shook his head in response.

"My props encountered a little problem on the way here, but it's not a big problem."

After thinking it over, he felt that this was a good opportunity and decided to put a shell around the control skill and talk about it.

In the nightmare community, he showed his control over the NPCs, which made many people jealous and began to inquire about him openly and secretly.

The power of the painter Bai Jin cannot be concealed.

Especially the audience in Xinan’s live broadcast room, following the main perspective camera, immersively experienced what it feels like to be cut into slices of meat.

Although Xu Zhiyan felt that when just looking at the barrage, the audience were all laughing and seemed heartless and brainless.

But being able to watch high-star horror game live broadcasts and still laugh every day shows that the audience watching the live broadcasts have strong inner qualities.

The barrage itself is a kind of screening.

People with a bad mentality can't watch the live broadcast at all.

Not to mention whether clues can be found in the live broadcast, if a player isolates himself for a long time, does not watch other players' live broadcasts, and does not understand others, it may be okay at the beginning, but in subsequent advanced copies, when he encounters various players, he will only be able to understand their temperament and even steal their pants.

If the matter of controlling the painter Bai Jin is not made clear, there will definitely be various forces from all sides trying to test it in the future.

After all, who doesn’t want to control a powerful NPC in a dungeon?

After thinking about it, he decided to solve the problem once and for all, so as to avoid using blood vessels to control monsters and having to explain himself.

"New item, with control capabilities."

After saying this, Xu Zhiyan raised his right hand, showing the half-embedded bones on his right hand and the golden ring on his middle finger.

"Props?"

Jin Sheng grabbed the dog back, who was so excited that he couldn't control himself after not seeing Xu Zhiyan for a long time.

Jiang Huai Que also looked over with a serious expression.

His teammate had been wearing a ring when he entered the dungeon this time, and he thought the ring was some kind of token of love.

The barrage also became excited.

Everyone wants to know how to control that perverted painter with super high combat power.

[Ah! I would have forgotten about Xiao Baiwan if you hadn’t mentioned him! ]

[The ring is so conspicuous, I thought Xiao Baiwan was in love! ]

[Stop talking upstairs, just listen to what I have to say first]

[I also want a tool that can control monsters. That perverted painter is too strong! ]

"I won the ring embryo from the painter in the nightmare community. Under certain conditions, it can control NPCs or monsters, but it consumes a lot of energy."

Xu Zhiyan did not elaborate on the conditions, leaving room for everyone to guess.

"Mr. Anonymous is really generous. He has something for remodeling props."

He narrowed his eyes and put forward a shield.

With so many weird and strange things, if there is no big boss to promote them, it would be hard to tell where they came from.

"After I reshaped the ring, it actually recognized its owner. After recognizing its owner, it bound to me. Unfortunately, I can't control the player... I don't know which NPCs it can control, so I need to try again."

He finished his speech neither hurriedly nor slowly, giving his teammates and the audience in the live broadcast room enough time to digest it.

It also prevents someone from stealing the ring.

[Master recognition item, this thing is so rare! ]

[Fuck, it's Anonymous as expected, it's really a big investment! ]

[If my boss is willing to give me so much, I am willing to help him take care of his wife and children. ]

[Speechless, I now feel more and more that Anonymous is...sick. It is better to invest in yourself than in others. If you want me to keep it for myself. ]

[Be careful upstairs, watch out for acid water spilling out of the screen and burning your hands. ]

[I remember... when Xiao Baiwan was live streaming, he openly betrayed his fans and even came out anonymously to say that he would give more to them. Could this be it? It's a lot, damn!]

[Item reshaping? Grass? Is it that super rare auxiliary item? ]

[Is this really a prop for recognizing the owner? I don't believe it. I am an expert on props. I suggest that Xiao Baiwan send the item to me after he makes a copy so that I can study it.]

[I can hear the calculations upstairs! ]

【Hahahahaha】

Just as Xu Zhiyan thought.

After he spoke out about his anonymity, the two teammates no longer had any doubts and expressed their understanding.

Especially Jiang Huai Que, who benefited from the blind box machine business...

So rings and stuff.

They are definitely in love!

He looked at Xu Zhiyan, who had a calm face, and thought of the other party's calm expression when he talked about anonymity, and suddenly a strange idea popped up in his mind.

Is it possible that Anonymous is pursuing Xu Zhiyan unilaterally?

Jiang Huaique was frightened by his own thoughts and quickly shook his head to get rid of this horrible idea.

He pointed at the DuckDuck backpack on Xu Zhiyan's back and taunted him.

"Xu Ba Sui, do you have no use for storage props? Why are you carrying such a stupid bag?"

Although the storage backpack props are relatively expensive, basically costing thousands of points, but this thing should be a drizzle for Xu Zhiyan, right? Why would he carry such an ugly backpack?

Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, but in his heart he was nodding frantically in agreement with Jiang Huaique's words.

There are indeed a lot of storage props in the safe house!

But thinking of the Duck-Duck backpacks that were said to fill half the warehouse, he endured it again and again, and finally decided to put the blame on the ghosts and gods for his aesthetic taste.

I'm sorry, Party A!

"It's a bag that Mr. Anonymous gave me. I think he likes it very much. Although this bag looks a little, ahem, a little simple, it can really hold a lot of things..."

As he spoke, he began to take out second-hand clothes from Yaya's backpack, introducing them to the customers.

"Everyone can't bring anything other than props into the dungeon. In order to survive, you must get some other common supplies."

It’s like the various papers and pens prepared by the snail housekeeper, all of which contain special props.

"The choice of storage props is definitely very important." Xu Zhiyan held up the YaYa backpack and pulled the long strap hanging down from the backpack.

"This is a medium-sized storage tool. It has a large capacity and is very sturdy."

"Not only can it be used as a backpack, but such a long strap can also be used as a rope in an emergency, and it can't be cut by a knife..."

"After the copy is released, I will ask Anonymous if anyone has bought too much. Then I will give you one."

After the introduction, Xu Zhiyan relaxed his toes that he had been picking at.

I feel numb. If I keep talking, the soles of my shoes will be torn.

Seeing Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng looking dazed, he hurriedly threw Yaya's backpack aside and called on the two to come and dig up his spoils.

Shirts with holes in them, pants that don’t fit, garish socks…

Xu Zhiyan first picked out a set of white silk shirt, black pants and black leather shoes that he had matched himself, and threw them in front of Jiang Huaique.

"There are three holes on my clothes and the waist of my pants is too big. Please help me fix it now. I need to change my identity and get on board tomorrow." He said it with confidence and really made use of his teammates to the extreme.

"Oh, and a watch! I got a watch, but the hands on it don't move. You have to fix it for me."

After hearing this, Jin Sheng tried hard not to laugh, and his face became distorted.

Jiang Huaiqiao was just about to praise Xu Zhiyan for his ability, but everyone was still arguing with the workers in the shed, and he got so many clothes.

In this not-so-developed era, old clothes can really be exchanged for supplies and information.

But he didn't expect Xu Zhiyan to show his unscrupulous nature again. Isn't this just treating him as a tool?

"Damn you Xu Ba Pi! If you don't punish him for three days, he will tear the roof off the house, right?"

He rolled up his sleeves and cracked his fingers, as if he really wanted to beat up his teammates.

Who knew Xu Zhiyan had already moved to the door of the shed, gave Jiang Huaique a grateful smile, and said something even more provocative: "You are the male mother, the soul of the team, and the logistics are relying on you."

"Xu Zhiyan! Get out of here!"

Jiang Huai Que was furious.

Jin Sheng tried to persuade them with an awkward smile, but the naughty and naughty Xu had already run away without a trace.

A few minutes later, even though Jiang Huaiqie was dissatisfied, he still asked Jin Sheng to turn on the light, took out his sewing tools, and concentrated on altering Xu Zhiyan's clothes.

There were no lights on in the dim shed, and now that the sun was setting, it was slowly turning pitch black.

Jinsheng stood obediently aside and acted as a human lamp stand, while Xiaoyi kept smelling the old clothes as if he had discovered a new continent.

"That lousy mouth of his really deserves it."

Jiang Huai Que put on a pair of glasses, chirped something, and kept moving his hands.

"Hahahahaha, I think it's okay." Jin Sheng touched his head and couldn't help laughing.

The two chatted idly.

They all knew that Xu Zhiyan brought back so many clothes, and there must be some for the two of them.

After all, you need to verify your identity when boarding the ship. Who knows if you can change your identity after you really get on the ship?

There are still too few places for coal burners to go, which is not conducive to exploration.

There should be quite a few players who think the same way as the three of them. There must be multiple thefts at the dock tonight.

Unlike the work sheds that gradually darkened and made it impossible to see the figures clearly, the dock was brightly lit by several headlights, and the workers were moving goods day and night.

Xu Zhiyan left the shed and walked on the road.

He seemed relaxed on the outside, but he was actually very alert inside.

Tonight is the last night, and there will definitely be players who will set their sights on the rich man across the street who is about to board the ship.

Although his instinct prevented him from crossing the road, when he thought that the young boy Bai Jin was probably on the other side, he couldn't help but want to go and take a look.

If other players can cross the road successfully, does it mean that his intuition is wrong?

When he came to the not-too-wide road and was about to look around, he saw a not-so-pleasant scene.

A man wearing the rags of a coal-burner, but with his hair neatly combed and a relatively clean appearance, was lying on the grass diagonally across the road.

Are you a gamer?

Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but walk a few steps to the middle of the road. Despite the uncomfortable feeling of his blood vessels twisting all over his body, he saw the man's face clearly.

He is a short-haired man of average build.

His eyes were wide open, his skin was pale, blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth, and his chest was motionless, as if he had been dead for some time.

Passersby seemed not to notice the player's body and continued to do their own things.

Xu Zhiyan took a few steps back, stood in a safer place, and gave up the idea of crossing the road.

It seems that the other side of the road is indeed outside the current map range.

Suddenly, the corpse on the ground moved!

Xu Zhiyan stood where he was, staring at the corpse that began to move to the side.

Is this transporting the body out of the copy?

He followed the direction of the body's movement for more than ten meters and saw that the body was taken under a dead tree.

The tree looked quite old, about as thick as two people could hug together. It was out of place with the dense woods next to it, and there was no sign of life. Only holes of varying sizes remained on the tree.

Suddenly, something red emerged from the tree hole—a thumb-sized red crab.

Waving their claws, they quickly climbed onto the corpse and began to cut it up.

Xu Zhiyan just stood across the street, watching these little crabs skillfully cut up the fresh corpse, and soon turned it into a pile of bones.

The crabs took the minced meat back to the tree hole.

A magical scene happened.

The originally dry trees began to slowly sprout, and tender buds grew out from the cracks in the dead branches, exuding vitality...

Xu Zhiyan was a little dazed.

Will the player's corpse be absorbed? Was the opponent's death caused by the scope of the instance or by the tree?

However, someone in the live broadcast room recognized this kind of crab.

[Fuck! I remember this crab! The red scavenger!]

[Hmm? What the hell? Can someone explain it in detail? ]

[This is a previous beach camping copy. This crab is a social monster that can constantly repair the surrounding environment. When the environment around the players is damaged, people will die every day and these crabs will decompose them into bones and use their meat to repair them...]

[Damn, this is a bit disgusting, and it sounds confusing, so it's not easy to pass. ]

[Let’s not talk about anything that has nothing to do with this copy. I don’t think Xiao Baiwan will cross the road. ]

[Oh, I watched that live broadcast as well. It is related. After all, it has been upgraded. I remember there was a curse about the Leviathan.]

[The monsters in that live broadcast are relatively new, and there are many people watching the live broadcast. Maybe some of the players in this game also know the information. ]

Under the urging of everyone, the person in the live broadcast room who knew the situation revealed the content of the curse.

[Sometimes, winning is not a good thing. ]

[Never win in the lower deck casino of a cruise ship.]

At the same time, Xu Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the crabs would not cross the road to attack the players here.

This thing has amazing attack power, is small and flexible, and if a large number of crabs flock to the dock, it might cause other damage. Fortunately, these things seem to be designed for the edge of the copy, so as long as they don't leave the range, everything will be fine.

Seeing that there was no possibility of taking the initiative to go across the street to look for Bai Jin, Xu Zhiyan sighed.

He stepped on the edge of the road, lowered his head and wondered how he could trick Bai Jin in such a short time tomorrow morning.

Tsk, that’s a bit troublesome.

The time is too short.

Moreover, it will most likely be quite chaotic before boarding the ship. As the son of a wealthy businessman, the young Bai Jin will certainly be surrounded by a large number of lackeys. Even with the ring, he cannot guarantee that he will be able to succeed under such circumstances.

Do I really have to board the ship as a coal burner?

Being the lowest-ranking person on a cruise ship might not be a good start...

Xu Zhiyan, who was brainstorming, didn't notice it.

At some point, a luxury car with a gold logo on the front slowly drove up to him.

"Ahem... do you need help? You seem troubled."

The clean and clear voice of a young boy reached Xu Zhiyan's ears. He stopped and felt that the voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was.

The car also stopped when it drove next to him.

The car windows were down.

A pair of narrow and sharp eyes were revealed.

The young man in the car spoke again, repeating what he had just said, but this time there was no hesitation. Instead, there was a sense of arrogance, and the choice of words showed the superiority of the person in the car.

"Low man, do you need help?"

Obviously the following words are good, but when combined with the first three words, it makes the listener feel complicated.

Xu Zhiyan recognized Bai Jin's voice. He lowered his head and turned the ring on his hand. Looking at the more and more black spots appearing on it, his mood was like riding a roller coaster.

Good news always comes with bad news.

He found Bai Jin, but he hadn't gotten the repaired clothes yet, so the chances of successfully disguising himself as a tutor were greatly reduced.

But things have come to this point, it is impossible to let the young man Bai Jin run away, and he was just worried about it!

After making sufficient mental preparations, Xu Zhiyan turned around and looked at Bai Jin, whose half face was exposed in the car. His expression was half-smile, which was quite interesting.

Calling him an inferior the first time you meet him?

It seems that this young master needs education!

The barrage also quickly turned from the crab dismemberment to the current topic, and began to pray for the NPC that had come to the doorstep.

[Wow, this guy is really brave! ]

[It’s so funny that an NPC actually came to ask Xiao Baiwan if he wants help? ]

[Ahhh why are these NPCs acting like dogs when I'm playing the game, either cheating me or beating me up! Why?! ]

[Maybe Xiao Baiwan is just good-looking. I also discovered this when I was playing the game before. NPCs also have face-chasers and like players with good looks. Damn it.]

[…Damn it! So that’s how it is! ]

[But this NPC's opening line is a bit off! ]

[Hahahaha, you lowly person, I almost vomited from laughing. Look at Xiao Baiwan’s expression]

[Xiao Baiwan: If I don't steal your pants today, I won't be called Xiao! ]

[Hahahahahahahahahaha the people above must be doing this on purpose! Xiao Baiwan’s last name isn’t Xiao to begin with.]

【Here they come, the bandit Xu Baiwan steals the car! 】

【Hahahaha why are you still fighting! 】

In the picture, Xu Zhiyan has changed his posture.

He didn't even try to hide his intentions. He put his hands on the rolled-down car window and pressed his whole body close to the other person, bringing the round ring closer to the other person.

"Of course, I'm in big trouble. Are you willing to help me?" Xu Zhiyan said, looking around the car.

It was a very spacious car, clean and tidy. You could tell this guy had a wealthy family. The driver in front was even wearing a uniform.

There is still a hint of childishness and innocence on Bai Jin's face, who is only fifteen years old.

Hmm... the black spots on the ring are almost half gone. This naughty kid should be considered one of ours, right?

To be honest, Xu Zhiyan inexplicably found that as long as he looked at Bai Jin's face, he would not be afraid at all, even though he knew that the other party was still an NPC who knew nothing.

The teenager sitting in the car was startled by the stranger's behavior.

Bai Jin followed the man as soon as he appeared, and hesitated for a long time before letting the driver catch up.

He thought a lot about how the other person would react before saying hello.

Poor people are usually timid. When they see him, they will probably be terrified. Maybe they will be so shocked that they can't speak. Or they will kneel down and beg him for help. If the other party really begs him, he will help him reluctantly...

But Bai Jin never expected this.

The young man in front of him was not at all timid. Instead, he was extremely bold and came straight over.

Hearing the sound of someone pulling the car door outside, Bai Jin's eyes widened, unable to imagine how there could be such a person in the world!

"You...how can you be so bold!"

"bold?"

He has something even bolder.

Xu Zhiyan paused as he was pulling the car door, squinted his eyes, bent over, and looked at the young boy Bai Jin through the gap in the car window.

"If you let me in, I'll let you help me."

He said this deliberately to test the purpose of the ring and see whether the young man Bai Jin in front of him would be as obedient as he predicted after about half of the power disappeared.

Bai Jin felt like he was going crazy.

What is this bullshit!

He felt that he must have lost his mind to come to this rude and inferior person on his own initiative!

But when he met the other person's charming eyes with a smile, he felt his heart start to beat violently, almost jumping out of his mouth, and even his body became hot...

The driver was also shocked. It was the first time he saw someone so rude to his young master.

Just when the driver was about to get out of the car to drive this low-class person away, Young Master Bai, who was sitting in the back seat, finally spoke after holding it in for a long time.

"You, you lowly person... I, I will help you this time with reluctance."

Then there was the sound of the car lock being opened and the door being pushed open.

The driver was stunned. His hands froze in place as he was about to get off the car. He could hardly believe his ears.

Is the person sitting in the back row still the arrogant and proud Young Master Bai?

Xu Zhiyan took a half step back, looked at the open car door in front of him, and the seemingly shy boy Bai Jin sitting in the car, and was very satisfied with the effect of the ring.

Very good, although the newly sliced mouth is a little bit uncommunicative, the body is still very honest.
