Chapter 10

Offline, on the other side of the ocean, three holographic projections appeared in an exquisite retro Japanese building.

The sounds of vomiting continued, and the room seemed to be filled with a non-existent smell of sour water.

With the development of holographic technology, holographic games no longer cause side effects to players, but the phantom pain of death in the game is inevitably brought into reality.

Huatielu couldn't stop dry-heaving, the brutal sword-slashing that had dismembered him emptying his stomach. Only Yehua, who had died the earliest, had a pale face and barely recovered.

As the indicator light came on, another holographic projector shot out a beam, bringing the fourth person.

A middle-aged man with a tough face.

Like the room's owner, a gray-haired old man, the man knelt on the ground, closed his eyes, and turned a deaf ear to the sounds of vomiting.

The old man opened his eyelids and spoke something that was not Chinese.

"Wildflower, tell Chiqian what happened."

A trace of fear crossed Yehua's face, and then she thought about how her soul had been devoured by the ghoul and how she was now completely disqualified from the game. Her boss was no longer her boss, and the game's legendary players, once admired by everyone, were now nothing more than online friends.

He calmed down and described what had happened in detail.

Chizen Ichimura still hadn't opened his eyes. In and out of the game, he always had a sardonic expression with a straight face.

He said calmly: "So, you lost my Lan Wu."

"It's because they don't take it seriously enough!" Yehua glared at Badaozhan and Huatielu.

"It was you who insisted on creating unnecessary trouble and making money that you shouldn't have!" Huatielu accused in return.

The old man raised his hand. "Alright, we need to investigate the fault, but not now. The Blue Weapon is valuable, but it's not the most important thing right now. How did that woman disguise herself as an NPC, and how did she control the ghoul? Is she an NPC or a ghoul parasitized in a human body? These things are more important than the Blue Weapon."

He looked at Chizen Ichimyou and said, "Perhaps, she carries the secret of divine revelation."

Sensing his gaze, Chizen Ichiming also opened his eyes.

"The ultimate mission, advancement to Legend, Ghost King, is the key to divine revelation."

"A foot ahead." The old man emphasized.

Chizen Ichimura was silent for a moment: "Yes, Minister."

"The time for Chizume's rebirth technique is almost up. Draw the sword and slash, slide and stick the path." The old man looked at the two of them and said, "Who of you two will be resurrected and go online to confirm the position?"

"Minister, that woman has Lanwu in her hand!" Huatielu said nervously.

Even if you use a revive card, you'll likely be knocked offline the moment you open your eyes. On the other hand, in a temporary death state, the opponent can no longer cause damage, and ghouls can't devour your soul, making it the safest.

The old man's expression was icy: "This is an order."

An Rou took off her shoes, stood on her feet, bent her knees, and jumped up with all her strength.

My back hit the ground, and it hurt more than I expected.

The longer I play Soul Society, the more realistic the game feels. Even the pain feels exactly the same. The designers even bothered to include a pain-blocking function.

An Rou rubbed her lower back and stood up, then turned around: "Do you understand?"

On the frightened face of the rich man, his eyes rolled around. His slender limbs flexed, and the whole ghost was bouncing high.

The night was so dark that An Rou even lost track of it for a moment, until the air was filled with the whistling sound of a heavy object falling, and Bao Fu fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out.

The arched earth mound was flattened in one go.

The bone blades that were cut off by the saber have grown back. More than a dozen bone blades and deformed limbs are dancing towards the sky, and the terrified face is facing right side up.

A bit funny.

An Rou couldn't help laughing and nodded at it: "Yes, that's it. Do it two more times to tamp the soil a little more."

It would be best if it were as hard and dense as cement, so that the players below would completely lose the ability to save themselves after being resurrected.

Bang bang bang.

After repeating this several times, the three "grave mounds" were not only flattened, but also sunken down a bit. An Rou used her high heel as a hammer to knock on the ground and waved at it: "Here, do it again."

Bao Fu turned over and stood up, then jumped up and hit again.

Bang!

No, there is some noise, not as crisp as before.

An Rou was stunned for two seconds, then pointed at the depression and said, "Dig it out, there's a result!"

Fortunately, getting rich quickly is a ghoul. If it were any other worker, he would have probably quit.

Digging, burying, and digging again, it's really tiring.

The dirt was flying everywhere, and no matter how solid the mud was, it was still a piece of tender tofu in front of the rich bone blade.

"stop!"

An Rou stood at the edge of the deep pit, her eyes shining. If it were daytime, the bottom of the pit would glitter with golden light. What a wonderful sight it would be!

An Rou carefully climbed down the pit and groped around.

In fact, she had brought a kerosene lamp from the coal shop, but she didn't dare to light it. This wasteland was too close to the city wall. Although there were no city gates nearby and no soldiers patrolling, there were searchlights sweeping high up on the city wall, and there were soldiers stationed there.

It was far away, but An Rou felt it was better to be cautious. A kerosene lamp lit up in the vast, dark wasteland, which was too abrupt.

After a thorough search of the pit and the corpses, I found another thousand or so gold coins. It was a small amount, but it was effortless.

An Rou patted the corpse's face and thanked him sincerely, "My Lord, my Lord, thanks to you, I discovered the code to wealth. Please don't go to see the King of Hell too soon."

It turned out that the king was resurrected and died again. No one knew whether he was suffocated to death or was killed by the powerful impact of the sudden wealth.

Just as An Rou was about to climb out of the pit, Bao Fu suddenly stuck half of his body in and let out a howl with his big head towards the pit.

An Rou was startled.

“What are you doing!”

An Rou immediately recognized the inner voice of Bao Fu: "I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry..."

"Didn't you just eat? Why are you hungry again so soon..."

An Rou paused and looked towards the wall of the pit in the direction that Bao Fu was facing.

Buried next to the King is Huatielu.

An Rou had a flash of inspiration: Getting rich suddenly means smelling the scent of soul?

She asked Baofu, but Baofu's answer was still just "I'm very hungry".

This stupid pig, no, stupid spider, who only knows how to eat.

It couldn't wait any longer, squeezing its entire body into the pit. Since eating the wildflowers, its body had grown noticeably larger than when An Rou first saw it, and its bone blades were also longer. An Rou hurriedly clung to the edge of the pit to avoid the bone blades.

"Get rich quick, don't eat!"

Perhaps because there was no threat from the Chosen One, Bao Fu ignored An Rou's warning and broke through the pit wall with a single stroke of his front limbs.

There was a heavy gasping sound after suffocation coming from inside.

Forced to use his revive card, Huatielu's heart was already in his throat. He had imagined many dangerous situations, but he had never expected that the first thing to greet him would not be Lan Wu's explosive damage, nor the ghoul, but suffocation.

The consciousness that had just been awakened soon fell into chaos, until I could vaguely see the figure a few steps away - that damn woman!

Huatielu suddenly woke up, immediately brought up the light screen, and tried to send the location to the guild.

——This is a task that must be completed even if it means wasting a chance to resurrect. It is dangerous, but also very simple.

It’s a pity that An Rou can see his light screen.

An Rou didn't know what the location sending interface was. The moment she saw the light screen, she had a bad feeling and blurted out, "Eat him!"

Poof! The bone blade pierced Huatielu's head. Under the dim light of his soul, a liquid of unknown color oozed out of his skull. Combined with the layers of earth pressing him tightly from top to bottom, it was like a sandwich with too much sauce.

The light screen flickered and disappeared, and the slippery road exploded into a ball of light, which drifted and disappeared in the deep pit, like a group of fireflies in summer, which was very beautiful.

It’s a pity that An Rou doesn’t have the mood to appreciate it.

She moved along the wall of the pit to the rich face, pinched its cold face with two fingers, and forced it to look at her.

"If I say you can't eat it, then you can't eat it. It's such a simple statement, don't you understand?!"

"Because of you, something terrible almost happened!"

"If you continue to disobey me, I'll leave you here to die, spread the clues, and have people come to hunt you down!"

"I can save you, or I can kill you. I can feed you, or I can starve you to death! Do you understand now?!"

The pupils in Bao Fu's round eyes, whose size exceeded the human limit, trembled rapidly and he suddenly roared.

The stinking air blew in An Rou's face, sweeping her messy long hair back. But An Rou didn't blink, not even her eyelids twitched.

The most important step in training a person or a dog is always the beginning. She knew this well and believed that taming this monster would be no different.

After staring at each other for a long time, the trembling pupils of the rich man relaxed and finally stopped at one side of the eye socket, refusing to meet An Rou's gaze again.

An Rou knew that it was scared.

very good.

An Rou used the wall of the pit to gain leverage, climbed onto its back, and gently touched its equally distorted and elongated neck.

This is the only soft spot on the body of Baofu, and perhaps, it is also its weakness.

"Be good and obedient from now on, and I will make sure you have enough to eat." An Rou gave him a date, "Take me upstairs, Bao Bao."

An Rou didn't care whether Hua Tielu was dead or alive. What made her sad was Hua Tielu's wealth. It had only exploded once when the coal shop owner died, and the rest was now in Bao Fu's pocket.

It's like having cash hidden at home and it's eaten by rats, but the bank won't replace it.

What a fucking loss.

On the game forum, the post posted by Ye Wang had been locked, but after he updated it again, it was pushed up again.

[367L (OP): Holy shit, my body is buried! I'm dead again! Ugh—]

[368L:? OP, didn't someone take the job to collect your body? You've already locked the post.]

[410L (Original Poster): I just vomited. The phantom pain of suffocating to death is no better than having my throat cut!]

[411L (Original Poster) to 368L: Who knows? I can't contact them after sending a private message with their location. Damn, I suspect they're just taking the money and not doing the work!]

[432L: Pfft, you're too naive. The body's already been buried, right? Maybe they think you didn't drop enough and want you to drop more.]

[436L: I think so too. The host is too stingy. The reward is too low.]

[461L: What nonsense is being said above? Ouli doesn't cheat Ouli people. Didn't the original poster say that the person who took the job was an Ouli member? Still trying to sow discord, their intentions are despicable!]

[532L: Stop arguing, it's all just guesswork, what's there to argue about? OP, maybe the truth is simple: some kind-hearted NPC took pity on you and helped bury you.]

[545L to 532L: Man, you're killing me with laughter! Which NPC in Soul Calling Song is so kind? They're collecting your body even though they don't have any money. You're dreaming! And they even threw a funeral and a banquet for guests? ? ?]

[633L (Original Poster): I'm back and got a call from the guild. How did this suddenly get to the 200th floor... Let me tell you, this is weird (I don't know if I can talk about this here).]

635L: Speak up!

[636L: You're still not cumming even though your pants are halfway taken off?]

657L (OP): That's right. The people who took the job did go, and they all died. One was even eaten by a ghoul, completely offline. I knew they didn't believe me. There really is an NPC who would cheat, deceive, and kill people! Now, they've even lost a blue weapon.

[658th Floor: Lan Wu?!]

[659th Floor: Lan Wu! ! ! !]

[674th Floor: This must be fake...it seems the OP has been playing tricks on us all day.]

[689th Floor: Why would I lie to you? Is it for a single extra coin? That blue weapon was a reward that Kazuaki Shakumae had just received after completing an S-rank quest solo. He couldn't handle it and died. He said it was due to skill issues and he couldn't use the revive card to log in, so he notified the guild to get it... Even though we're a guild, I don't care about what happened to Kohi Island. Anyway, their losses were much greater than mine (I'm suddenly not feeling so bad anymore, why?)]

[703rd floor: Damn, what the OP said seems to be true. Chizen Ichimura was ranked 67th on the Destiny List before, but now he's down to 99th. Probably because he died once.]

[709th Floor: That guy, it's said he never teams up for quests, always solos. He climbs the leaderboards quickly but falls off just as quickly. His ups and downs are so intense, I'm tired of watching him.]

[717th floor to 709th floor: Ugh, sour. But, the blue weapon I worked so hard to obtain is lost, so Chimae Ichimura has to get it back anyway, right?]

[735th Floor (Original Poster): Not really. The guild just notified me again, saying they sent another team to retrieve my body, but they couldn't find it. Forget it, I'm just going to lie down and wait for them to retrieve my body the next morning...]

[808th Floor: No, guys, I've climbed all the way here and no one's said a word! Blue weapon, guys! There's a blue weapon in Zhongsu Town, District 8. Let's go!]

[810th floor (Original Poster) to 808th floor: You kid! I didn’t pay enough, pay more!!!]

As the daylight gradually brightened, An Rou, who had no game panel and could not enter the forum, climbed up from the hard shell of her wealth and stretched.

I slept a little coldly, but surprisingly refreshed.

She rubbed Baofu's neck: "Baobao, be good. When I leave, dig a hole and bury yourself. Don't get caught—and don't eat anything secretly!"
