Question: You transmigrated to become the evil big boss of a murder mystery game right after the final scene. What kind of ending will you face?
Yu Ling: Thanks for the invitation, I know thi...
Yu Ling was very happy after playing games all night. Earning survival points was too easy. If it weren't for the possibility of being deported if he failed to complete the mission, he would really like to keep exploiting the mini-games.
Yu Ling, in high spirits, greeted him casually: "Hi~ Good morning, Brother Du."
Du Wencheng: Suddenly I feel that the sunlight isn't so warm anymore.
"Haha, good morning, Yuling. You didn't sleep all night, are you still able to stay up? Or should I go find some food for breakfast?"
What kind of big shot is this? He stayed up all night and is still full of energy, without showing any signs of sleepiness!
Yu Ling was certainly not sleepy, but why would she refuse Du Wencheng's offer to do chores?
Du Wencheng woke up Liu Xin, the man with the buzz cut, to be on guard, but didn't wake the two girls who had finally warmed up. He then told Yu Ling to rest more before going to the beach alone to find food.
Yesterday, Du Wencheng watched as Yu Ling caught fish with incredible accuracy, and he almost wondered if the main god had gone mad. What kind of map did he give them? How could it be so easy!
However, when he tried it himself, he suddenly realized...
What the hell is that pike? It's incredibly fast!
Du Wencheng wasn't some clueless idiot; he knew that the fish in the water were in a position determined by reflection. But even if he knew, the fish were incredibly fast! They were like rockets with a firework attached to their tails—they'd disappear in a flash.
After trying for a long time, not only did I not find a single fish, but I also got bitten by a piranha with teeth on the seabed. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have lost a finger.
The smell of blood would only attract more piranhas, and the seaside was prone to high tides, so Du Wencheng gritted his teeth and gave up on this "simple" approach.
He's the unsung leader of the small team, after all. What would it look like to go back empty-handed!
As a newbie who was doing quite well, Du Wencheng had bought a prop that would mark the path he had taken as a mini-map, so he wouldn't get lost even when he was alone. He then bypassed the direction of the campfire and turned to walk into the woods.
There were still some unevaporated dewdrops condensed on the leaves there. Du Wencheng didn't waste them. He found a large leaf to use as a container and collected them along the way. When he found other players, he "friendly chatted" with one of the lucky ones who had a water bottle at the start and borrowed the container, pouring all the dewdrops into it.
There was still a little less than half a bottle of water left in the kettle. It seemed that they had collected quite a lot, but unfortunately, Du Wencheng had intercepted it. He looked at the splashing sound and felt a little thirsty, but he still swallowed hard and suppressed the urge to drink it all in one gulp.
"This needs to be handed over to the boss later, so I'll just have a couple of sips of this tea with some leaves."
Unbeknownst to Yu Ling, Du Wencheng had already pinned the captain's position on her and was always ready to flatter her and ask her to carry him.
Face? What's that? We've already entered the Main God Space and become players whose lives are hanging by a thread, what do we need face for!
With Du Wencheng's help, he carried a large pile of fruits he didn't know if they were edible, along with a poisonous snake he had caught along the way, back to the campfire.
At this moment, everyone woke up and chatted by the extinguished fire, except for Yu Ling, who was still pretending to be asleep (playing games with her eyes half-closed).
Liu Xin, the man with the buzz cut, said that several groups of players passed by during that time, but left when they saw that they had nothing. However, there were also some newbies who wanted to team up with him, but Liu Xin said that he couldn't make the decision and left wisely.
“Well done, this is breakfast for today, everyone share it.” Du Wencheng piled the things he was holding on the ground and said, “Liu Xin, you take them to find food this afternoon, I’ll keep watch tonight, and Yu Ling will be in charge of cooking tomorrow. No objections, right?”
"No objections!" X3
Yu Ling also "slowly woke up" at the perfect moment and said:
"I'll do whatever Brother Du says."
Seeing that the boss had been woken up, Du Wencheng pretended to scold the others a couple of times, and then eagerly handed the water bottle to Yu Ling, claiming that he was letting Yu Ling keep the logistical supplies, but in reality, he was openly handing over the precious water resources to the boss.
Yu Ling almost thought Du Wencheng had ulterior motives, but he accepted the offer while engrossed in playing the game.
And so, without Yu Ling doing anything, Du Wencheng, who had imagined Yu Ling to be a big shot, did not target his own teammates, but instead extended his clutches to other players. Surprisingly, Yu Ling and her team fared quite well. After about three days, the other players finally lost their temper.
Are you trying to bully us? All of them ganged up on one person and still couldn't beat one?!
This is intolerable! Even a novice player has a temper! Although these bullied players are weak and have no strong teammates to support them, they still banded together because they were all being exploited by Du Wencheng.
When they finally found Du Wencheng and demanded an explanation, Yu Ling realized that she had become so engrossed in playing the game that she had overlooked the NPC quests that were designed to rip off players.
Although the players were all thrown here by the main god to be used because they had committed crimes in real life, Yu Ling's standards for humans are different from those set by humans themselves, so she doesn't really have the idea of actively causing trouble. She only picks on those she doesn't like.
But with such a large group of troublemakers coming, it seems that Du Wencheng is still in the wrong. So, how should Yu Ling, who is being flattered by Du Wencheng, deal with this?
Yu Ling shrugged: "What does this have to do with me?"
He let the two sides argue until they were hoarse without saying a word. Du Wencheng knew that this meant Yu Ling wouldn't take action, so he, Liu Xin, and the two girls started their counterattack.
Neither side had any big shots. Du Wencheng could only bully newbies. Coincidentally, his team already had three players, which meant the other side only had seven in total.
Four against seven, they were at a disadvantage in the fight. It was only because Yu Ling provided them with seafood so they didn't go hungry and had strength that they didn't fall behind.
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked, the group turned their attention to Yu Ling, who was "weak and easily bullied" and being protected by the others.
"Look, that handsome young man hasn't made a move yet. He must be their weakness. Why don't we..."
"You know what, it's really true. Good-looking people are popular everywhere."
"Alright, stop going off-topic. I'm going to grab him. You guys cover for me!"
"good!"
The group chatted briefly in the midst of their fighting and dodging, and Du Wencheng didn't pay much attention. By the time the man approached, Yu Ling had already defected to the enemy.
Yu Ling didn't resist; she deliberately let herself be captured. The deception was too obvious; the one who captured her was still somewhat incredulous, but since it was already done, he could only grit his teeth and shout:
"Stop it, all of you! Give us back the supplies you stole, or else... or I'll get rough with him!"
