Chapter 42 NPCs Kill All Players (4)

"That idiot Gao Li was still doing a live stream back then, and now the whole country... no, the whole world knows that you were killed by that idiot nurse in the first round!"

"We died before we even entered the village. I lost over 100,000 yuan. Gao Li fared even worse; he bought a bunch of equipment but didn't even get to use it before being killed. He lost hundreds of thousands of yuan."

Money isn't important.

Most importantly, I lost face.

Holographic games are essentially a second world for people, and some people are even willing to give up their real-world identity to maintain their status in the second world.

Gu Han's voice was cold.

"Let's replay it. This time I'll stream it live."

"How about I bring along a pro? A college classmate, IQ 200, a survival game master who once made it all the way to level 12, and currently in the top three on the national server leaderboard."

However, hiring her will cost some money, but it's nothing compared to what we've lost in the game.

Gu Han thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, I'll bring a friend too. This time, let's make sure everything goes smoothly and hopefully we can clear the game in one go."

"Where's Gao Li? Is he still going to shout?"

“He’s popular in his live streams.”

Although he's an idiot, bad at the game, and a coward, he's more popular than them, so at least he's somewhat useful.

In an effort to save face, the two of them went all out this time.

"Then let's go for it when the server opens tomorrow, bring some people and charge in."

"Hmm, don't waste time. If there's a problem with the NPC in the first level, just kill him with one blow and don't use the chance to answer the questions."

I underestimated them at the time, thinking that I could finish off this troublesome enemy without using any weapons or bullets just by answering a question.

Unexpectedly, we ended up giving away free kills.

With everything prepared and determined to avenge his previous defeat, Gu Han lay down to rest.

Shortly after the game was shut down, Jin Shu's time began.

Although it's only 24 hours longer than before, 24 hours is long enough for ordinary people.

Most importantly, she is an NPC, not human in essence. Even if she doesn't rest, she won't feel much tired. Sleeping is just an emotional need. For Jin Shu, since she can choose not to sleep, there is no need to waste time on sleeping.

I set aside eight hours to study, still focusing on physics and mathematics.

In addition, Jin Shu examined the items left behind by the players after they died during the day.

There were more than a dozen bags and packages, and when I opened them, I found the weapon that had killed me.

Jin Shu learned that this thing was called a gun, and there were many kinds, some deadly and some non-deadly, which made it very troublesome to study.

In the game's design, these weapons were supposed to be disposed of in the warehouse. Jin Shu was careful and hid them away immediately after the game ended.

The gun is very powerful, but Jin Shu doesn't know how to use it.

It was too dangerous for her to do the research on her own, so she kept the items hidden and left her floor to explore other floors.

There are NPCs on each floor. The two security guards in the lobby wander around every day with their intestines in their hands. They are basically not aggressive, but they can intimidate people.

The second floor is occupied by a mentally ill old woman and a dozen or so mentally ill children.

The third floor houses a mad scientist who looks even stranger and more terrifying. He has no skull; his brain is exposed and covered by a thin membrane. The places where his eyes should be are two empty holes, and his mouth is sewn shut.

His hands and feet had all been modified into machines. Jin Shu had personally witnessed his hands retract and extend freely like octopus tentacles, and his feet were the same. His huge metal feet could easily kick a hole in a wall.

San San said that Frankenstein's monster is very powerful. He was originally the BOSS of the ninth level, but he became deaf after going blind. Although he is strong in combat, players can easily avoid him and get to the fourth floor. So his role is similar to the crazy guys on the second floor, which is to scare them.

The fourth floor houses the doctor who died in the fire. In the game, he is locked in a solitary confinement cell on the fourth floor by madmen and is only released between 6 PM and 8 PM every night.

The doctor is the only NPC in this asylum with exceptionally high intelligence, but due to the game's design, players can easily avoid a direct confrontation with him if they know his activity schedule in advance.

Jin Shu stood outside the small window of the solitary confinement cell and looked inside. Inside the cell, which was blackened by the fire, a figure sat on a dilapidated bed.

Looking at the door again, Jin Shu reached out and pulled it.

The door opened.

She was a little confused. Wasn't it supposed to be open only at a specific time?

Never mind, let's go in and take a look first.

It was very dark inside. Jin Shu turned on her flashlight, and as soon as the light came on, a grotesque face with burned flesh suddenly appeared in front of her. His eyes were wide open, staring straight at the window, his gaze filled with madness and coldness. He was holding a sharp scalpel in his hand, the blade embedded in his flesh. His arm looked like a black wooden stick, and there were many pieces of shaved flesh lying on the bed.

He really is a doctor who's even crazier than a madman.

Jin Shu searched the room and finally found a box. Inside the box were thick folders. The fire had charred the box but had not damaged the contents.

Jin Shu took all the boxes back with her. Before leaving, she looked back one last time, then left the door open and used the boxes to block it.

After returning home, Jin Shu studied the contents of the document and her eyes lit up when she saw it.

The documents were filled with detailed information about the patients in the mental hospital, including each patient's weaknesses and strengths, as well as their skills in special circumstances.

The thickest volume is about Frankenstein's monster.

Apart from the first page which briefly introduces the origin of the monster's identity, the rest of the page is entirely about Frankenstein's monster's body modification and repair methods.

The text is obscure and difficult to understand, but Jin Shu still retains some of the most basic common sense of NPCs, so although it is a bit difficult to read, you can still understand the meaning if you think about it carefully.

Frankenstein was originally a metal fanatic who loved drilling holes in his body. Because he kept damaging his body, his family simply sent him to a mental hospital.

He happened to encounter a perverted doctor, and since both were willing to give and take, the doctor simply transformed Frankenstein's monster into the form he desired.

Looking at the contents of the document, Jin Shu returned to the third floor.

Having roughly estimated that she had fourteen hours left, she began to study the physical structure of Frankenstein's monster according to the methods described in the documents.

"Although Frankenstein's body is made of hard metal, he still retains a human brain. His ears and eyes are his most vulnerable parts; if they are burned, he will completely lose his hearing and sight."

But this is not irreversible damage.

Replacing the mechanical fluid inside Frankenstein's body will help repair all the damage to his body.
