As a laid-off reemployed worker, Yun Jian was accidentally swept into a real-life survival game when she had nowhere else to turn. She was also 'lucky' enough to acquire a special attribute...
To her surprise, the charred corpse opposite her wasn't buying it at all: "Don't try to fool me. Everyone knows you're cunning. Maybe you just want to trick me into going there so you can torture me like an animal and have fun killing me!"
Yun Jian: "..."
Is she really that ruthless?
After thinking for a moment, she took a bag of gunpowder, as big as an A4 sheet of paper, and sent it to the charred corpse opposite her as a greeting gift.
"This is my sincerity. Why don't you reconsider whether you want to refuse my terms?"
But after sending it, the charred corpse on the other side hadn't been collected for quite some time.
Just when Yun Jian thought this tactic wouldn't work, the other party cautiously replied, "May I try just a tiny bit? Just a tiny bit..."
Yun smiled and said, "Okay, but if you inhale my gunpowder, it's equivalent to agreeing to the oath you made with me."
The charred corpse was bewildered: "An oath? What oath?"
"There's a pact in the gunpowder I gave you. By taking my things, you're essentially agreeing to the conditions I set."
Charred Corpse: "..."
Is this your sincerity?
Who would mix their own agenda with their sincerity?
But this pile of gunpowder looks really appealing, and there's so much of it!
He counted on his fingers and realized that this amount was equivalent to what he could earn by doing three months of work in the gunpowder pit.
I'm so envious.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw a countdown timer appear above the pile of gunpowder.
The charred corpse quickly sent a message to Yun Jian: "?"
"Oh, I requested a return. Since you have no intention of cooperating with me, I'll just have to find someone else. Naturally, I can't give you this gunpowder!"
Charred Corpse: "!"
The key point is that, in the short time it takes to send a message, the gunpowder has already started to decrease little by little.
The charred corpse watched as more and more explosives flew away, its face filled with reluctance.
Waaaaah...
It breaks my heart.
A moment later, he messaged Yun Jian again, "If I agree now, can you make up for the gunpowder that was previously reduced?"
"Sure, I can give you double."
Upon seeing the words "double," the charred corpse could no longer contain itself, shouting, "I'll fight!"
Life is precious, but gunpowder is even more valuable.
He quickly tapped to receive the package, and a bunch of fragrant gunpowder landed in his arms. The charred corpse immediately began to inhale the gunpowder with rapt attention.
Yun Jian checked the task panel and saw that (1/20) had changed to (2/20).
Yun Jian looked at Bai Bi, "Have you learned it?"
The charred corpse touched its head and then nodded.
"Just keep fooling me like this, fool as many people as you can."
Bai Yu comforted him, saying, "This isn't betrayal. It's called being a wise man when you know when to yield. Think about it, if you trick a few more charred corpses into coming here, you won't be alone anymore. When they curse a traitor, they won't just target you as the charred corpse, right?"
White Nose pondered for a moment and nodded.
That seems to be the case.
The next day, Yun Jian continued to ponder how to get out of the jungle and went to see the wounded soldiers she had brought to the conference room earlier.
The fourth brother was inside, yawning and keeping watch.
Seeing her approach, he quickly perked up and reported to Yun Jian, "The upgraded bug is very effective. The fine threads on its body have been almost completely removed. I estimate that in another two days, it will be completely cleaned up."
Yun Jian nodded.
Smelling her scent, a small insect crawled out of the wounded soldier's body, covered in black slime, and tried to rub against her.
Yunjian quickly dodged away in disgust.
The little insect looked at Yun Jian with confusion, and its tiny antennae drooped down.
"Clean yourself up before you come over."
How come raising a few small insects feels like raising a pet?
Upon hearing her words, the little insect raised its tiny hairs, then shook itself, and the slime slid off. Feeling clean, the little insect quickly moved its dozens of tiny legs and, before Yun Jian could react, clung to her ankle.
Yun Jian: "..."
Have you ever seen a caterpillar act cute?
It's... kind of creepy.
After rubbing against Yun Jian's ankle for a while, the little insect finally left, then opened its mouth and spat out a small, shiny black ball.
Then he tilted his head back, looking like he wanted praise.
Yun Jian wanted to touch it, but looking at the little insect, she really couldn't bring herself to do it.
She picked up the ball and examined it closely. "What is this ball for?"
The little bug didn't seem to understand and continued to act cute, rolling around and begging.
Yun Jian sighed, tossed the little black ball into his system inventory, and placed it together with the others from before.
"Boss, something's not right!" the fourth brother suddenly exclaimed from the side.
Yun Jian turned to look at him, and Lao Si immediately turned the public chat interface around.
Yun glanced at it and her brows furrowed tightly.
"Who said yesterday that Yun Jian was colluding with Jiao Shi? Come out here! You're absolutely right. I ran into Jiao Shi today and heard them say they were going to surrender to Yun Jian. They even said that we are all Yun Jian's enemies and that they would take our heads to the Yun Alliance as a surrender gift!"
"You seriously suspect you're making this up. You heard the charred corpse say something? You can understand the charred corpse?"
"What, am I not allowed to have some weird and wonderful gadgets?"
"What the guy upstairs said is true. I just passed by the outer perimeter of the Cloud Alliance and happened to see a charred corpse flying towards the Cloud Alliance. The Cloud Alliance not only didn't attack it, but also opened their defensive shield to let it in! I have video evidence!"
Immediately afterwards, that player released a video.
After watching this video, the players in the public chat were furious more than ever before.
"Damn it! I thought the appearance of the charred corpse was just bad luck, but it turns out it was just a disaster caused by someone!"
"During this period, we have lost so many comrades and so many players, all thanks to one person!"
"I even considered going to the Cloud Alliance to join them before, ha, thank goodness I didn't."
"To create something like a charred corpse for personal gain, Yun deserves to die!"
"Killing Yun Jian is to avenge our fallen comrades!"
"Yes, kill her, and give us an explanation for the suffering we've endured these past few days!"
After reading these comments, Yun Jian's face darkened considerably.
Despite the obvious message from Mingmingbi, not a single charred corpse believed it, nor did any of them dare to come.
Why is it such a coincidence that a player encountered a charred corpse that was coming to seek refuge with her?
Moreover, her beast language ring is only available in the level 4 shop, and unless certain conditions are met, she cannot understand the words of the charred corpse.
She didn't think other players had more powerful animal language translation tools.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Yun ignored the wounded soldier and went to the next meeting room to find Bai Bi. As soon as she entered, she found a charred corpse standing next to Bai Bi.
"Where did you go? I was just about to look for you, but I was afraid of scaring the others. This is my friend, DouDou."
Seeing Yun's unpleasant expression, Bai Bi's tone became somewhat cautious, "It's that person you personally went to fool yesterday..."
Yun nodded.
After confirming when the charred corpse had entered, he asked, "Did you just arrive? About ten minutes ago?"
The charred corpse nodded.
"Have you noticed that you're being followed?"
The charred corpse looked up blankly.
Yun Jian sighed, "Another idiot."
Seeing Yun's reaction, Bai Bi realized something was amiss. "Did Dou Dou's arrival cause you any trouble?"
Yun Jian sighed, "Well, not really. Someone filmed it when it came in and posted the video on the public chat. Now all the human players are my enemies."
Baibi: "...It's so miserable."
But then it thought again and became a little uneasy: "So what are you going to do next? Are you going to...?"
At this point, it suddenly became agitated: "You promised me you wouldn't hurt me! You can't push me and DouDou out just to gain those people's trust! You...you're immoral!"
