Chapter 008: Eating Watermelons in Wanjing Garden (End of Instance)

Hearing this, it seemed like everything was connected.

Qian Guizhi married Zhou Youwei because of his family business, and Feng Wenbai was entangled with him because of Zhou Youwei's business.

Song Xiaoyan's childhood friend committed suicide because of Zhou Youwei's business, which eventually led to all of them entering the dungeon together.

After listening to pilot Song Xiaoyan's speech, the commentators immediately stood up and applauded:

"Wonderful! Everyone stand up!"

"Finally someone is calling out these self-righteous rubbish. I'm so glad!"

"My pilot sister is the real sober one!"

"Revenge for my childhood friend hit me hard, wuwuwu."

"Murder is against the law, don't learn it."

"The first one made me think I was resurrected and returned to the world."

Feng Xiansu was in a complicated mood at the moment.

She hated the pilot for killing her, but she also felt that the pilot cursed her father so well that he was simply her substitute in hell.

But she would never forgive the other party for killing her family. She wanted revenge, but she didn't know where to start.

Liu Tang didn't know why, although he was just an NPC, he could empathize with some of Song Xiaoyan's feelings.

The frustration he felt when his friend was forced to death and he was unable to seek justice for him through legal means, and the despair he felt when he finally chose to use extreme means to avenge his friend, are very moving.

But killing someone still increased her evil points by several hundred.

Fighting evil with evil only to end up becoming evil yourself is truly lamentable.

Seeing that Song Xiaoyan stopped talking, Feng Wenbai didn't seem to intend to refute her.

Liu Tang confirmed that the points had been credited to his account, so he forced himself to stay alert and turned his attention to the two veteran players.

[Hey, let me see what surprises these two so-called "experienced players" can bring me~]

Min Liang's mind went blank after being shocked by this series of revelations. Seeing the boss looking at him, he quickly turned his head.

An idea struck him, and he clapped his hands, pointing at Brother Mo beside him and said, "He, Mo Qianhe, said he's interested in you! He wants to take you out of the dungeon!"

The other new players were shocked when they heard this.

Zhou Songyang sighed in his heart: "They are really brave. One dares to think, and the other dares to speak."

Min Liang just stopped thinking, but his eyes were still observing the situation on the field.

He noticed that the boss would be happier when he heard about love gossip and felt that he should be able to get away with it.

Liu Tang raised his eyebrows and found that his exploration points did not increase much. It seemed that the value and authenticity of this secret were very limited.

But the red-haired boy didn't look like he was lying.

Moreover, the evil value above the other person's head is almost 0, but the good value is more than a thousand, which shows that he is a good person.

Liu Tang hesitated for a moment and decided to let him go.

After all, as a Boss of a hell dungeon, we have to follow the principle of "good is rewarded with good, and evil is punished with evil."

Seeing Liu Tang finally looking at him, Mo Qianhe straightened his clothes, changed his previous casual attitude, and said seriously: "Little gossip, I was your boyfriend when I was alive."

Everyone around him opened their eyes wide, and Min Liang even gasped: "Hiss..."

Liu Tang was so frightened that the melon seeds in his hand fell.

[What's going on?! Did he end up eating melon and end up eating himself?!]

But for some reason, his intuition told him that the young man in front of him was lying.

Liu Tang took a quick look at his points, and they hadn't increased at all.

It’s confirmed, the other party is indeed kidding.

Once this fact was confirmed, Liu Tang was no longer panicked. Instead, he was very curious about what interesting next words the other party would say.

So he held his chin with his hand and looked at the other person teasingly, "Really?"

Liu Tang's handsome face with a hint of playfulness makes him look particularly attractive.

When Mo Qianhe saw this, he felt his heart beating faster and felt a little embarrassed.

By the age of 23, he could tell lies to different people and speak the truth to different people, and he could lie to anyone without blushing or feeling any pain.

But when it comes to Liu Tang, he can never hold back.

He rubbed his philtrum with the back of his index finger, turned his eyes away, and confessed with a bit of self-abandonment, "I lied to you."

Before Liu Tang could react, he heard the red-haired boy on the other side say "Huh?" in disappointment.

He looked over and glanced at everyone present, and found that their eyes were full of surprise at being deceived.

Only then did Liu Tang realize that everyone else present seemed to believe this nonsense.

[Sure enough, the more handsome a man is, the more likely he is to lie.]

He sighed in his heart.

Mo Qianhe started coughing again.

Min Liang angrily yelled at Mo Qianhe, "You're lying again! You're a liar! You said before that you thought he was good-looking and wanted to take him away, but you must have lied to me!"

The audience in the live broadcast room gloated and posted barrages:

"Hahahahahaha, Boss Minliang's mentality exploded."

"Why did all the players here believe such an outrageous lie?"

"The person in front probably isn't familiar with Mo the Liar. He's not only good at deceiving people, but his unique skill also has a bewitching effect. Although I don't know the specific mechanism, he's definitely incredibly effective at deceiving people."

"Mo the liar is so bold that he even wants to cheat the boss."

"So he really wants to take this boss out of the dungeon?"

"When the boss put his chin on his hand just now, I was really shocked."

"If he can really bring this boss out of the dungeon, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"

"Don't try to cheat here for free food and drinks."

Liu Tang waited until Mo Qianhe's coughing stopped before he said, "As for what you said about me being 'good-looking,' I do agree. But... since you're lying, you have to tell me a secret."

Mo Qianhe calmed himself down and said seriously, "I knew you in my lifetime. We grew up together as childhood friends. Although I don't know how you became the boss, you are not just a string of data. You are a human being like us."

After Liu Tang unlocked the boss, he saw the causal line connecting himself and Mo Qianhe's wrist, and he already had some doubts.

So I wasn't surprised to hear the other person's account of their past.

Coupled with an instinct that came from nowhere, he was very sure that the other party was not lying.

Before he could respond, Min Liang beside Mo Qianhe spoke first: "You liar, if I trust you again, I will be a dog!"

Mo Qianhe was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he saw Liu Tang, who was sitting in the main seat, burst out laughing.

Min Liang was just wondering when the boss clapped his hands and said, "Alright, then... thank you all for sharing your secrets. You've passed the test~ Boss battle mode unlocked!"

Min Liang was stunned: "Woof?"

The others finally relaxed and exchanged glances.

It turns out that "battle mode" is just chatting with the Boss face to face. If I had told you earlier, I wouldn't have been so scared.

Although their actions were no longer controlled by the boss, they did not dare to act rashly, let alone seek revenge on the weak pilot.

Song Xiaoyan seemed to be lost in thought, and obviously did not feel the joy of revenge. She was thinking about how to completely destroy these people.

Liu Tang looked at his exploration points with satisfaction, which had risen to 5324, and cheered in his heart:

[Woohoo! If I earn another 4,000 points, I'll be completely free! I can just lie back and relax, never having to work for the system again!]

When Mo Qianhe heard this, he moved his index finger.

It seems that although Xiaoxianyu is the boss, he also has points-earning tasks like the other players.

Liu Tang waved his hand casually and moved a giant bronze mirror over two meters high in front of everyone.

"After passing through this bronze mirror, you will have truly passed the dungeon 'Mirror of Hell Ding Ba Wan Mirror Garden'." He stood up and explained to everyone.

Several new players felt relieved and stood up impatiently.

Min Liang had just recovered from the frustration of "becoming a dog" and still found it difficult to accept the current situation.

He knew that this dungeon would be easy to clear, but he didn't expect it to be this easy.

Although the grudges and hatreds between these new players surprised him during the process, to be honest, arguing about these trivial matters is not life-threatening and is simply a way to earn points.

"However," Liu Tang changed the subject, "as a dungeon boss, I should still do something to terrify the players."

Min Liang's eyes lit up, and he quickly called out the life-saving items from his system backpack, saying in surprise, "Ha! I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"

Zhou Songyang was really speechless when he saw the reaction of the red-haired boy.

"You don't have to act so expectant, do you?!"

Liu Tang glanced over the heads of the players and dropped a bombshell: "I've heard many players chat, and they seem to only discuss 'game points'. But besides this, you have two other very important values."

"That's the 'good value' and the 'evil value'." After saying that, he looked at the surprised expressions on Min Liang and Mo Qianhe's faces and confirmed his guess.

The barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded:

"What what what?! I was about to quit the live broadcast room, and suddenly there's important news?!"

"Goodness and evil?! Never heard of them?!"

"Oh my god! I knew Boss Min Liang wouldn't enter this rubbish dungeon for no reason! He's definitely here to get valuable information!"

"Just listen to his story. How could a boss be so kind as to reveal something we've never heard of to us players?"

"Didn't Liar Mo say that this boss is also human, maybe even a player!"

"Wait a minute, isn't that a lie told by Liar Mo? No one is really going to believe it, right?"

"It doesn't matter if we don't believe it, as long as the Boss believes it!"

Liu Tang didn't give the two veteran players time to ask questions, and directly said, "To put it roughly, people who do more good things have higher good points, and people who do more bad things have higher evil points."

He raised his hand and pointed at Min Liang. "This player has helped other players in many instances, so his kindness is very high. And Mr. Zhou Youwei, your unfinished building project has caused great harm to many people, so your evil is very high."

"And your good and evil value will determine the boss's priority in killing you in each dungeon. Just like the first person I asked a question to was Mr. Zhou, the next time you enter another dungeon, the boss will still prioritize attacking you with a high evil value."

When Zhou Youwei heard this, his heart began to ache uncontrollably.

Zhou Songyang walked over and supported his father who was staggering, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

Liu Tang continued, "As for the other side effects of a high evil value, I believe you will gradually experience them in future dungeons, if you can survive to that time."

Pilot Song Xiaoyan felt a sense of pleasure when he saw his enemy was frightened to death.

She heard the boss call her name: "Song Xiaoyan, although you were seeking revenge, you also killed seven people, including yourself. Your evil value is not low. I hope you will be more careful."

Song Xiaoyan nodded indifferently. She only wanted revenge, and her own life or death was not important at all.

Liu Tang saw through her thoughts and warned her, "Don't let hatred blind you. Think about it, if you die and enter this hell instance, what about your childhood friends?"

He stopped there and didn't say anything further.

Song Xiaoyan's expression changed drastically, and her eyes lit up as if she had seen fire.

"As for the rest of you, if you want to seek revenge on Miss Song, you should also think about it. Once you kill someone, your evil value will increase. I hope you can accept the consequences of doing so." Liu Tang reminded kindly.

Feng Xiansu frowned.

Perhaps it will be difficult for her to avenge this.

Mo Qianhe whispered in Liu Tang's ear, "You are protecting Song Xiaoyan."

Liu Tang raised his gaze and said calmly, "I am inflicting the punishment the players deserve. Turning them to ashes is certainly a form of punishment, but isn't it even more terrifying to dwell on the torment of past sins?"

Mo Qianhe raised his eyebrows, indicating that he did not believe his words.

Hearing this in the live broadcast room, the quarrel became more intense:

"Let me tell you! When it comes to attacking the heart, there's no such thing as good or evil."

"Killing people and destroying their hearts, I understand."

"I still tend to think yes. This boss doesn't look like he's lying."

"Which big boss went to Wantong Pavilion to buy the information and ask if this is true."

"Even if they bought it, they wouldn't tell you for free, you freeloader."

The bronze mirror used for passing the customs now lit up, emitting a soft light.

Zhou Songyang turned around to remind the others, and supported his father who was already unable to hold on, and was the first to pass through the mirror.

Zhou's mother Qian Guizhi pulled her best friend Shen Yulan over. Shen Yulan took her arm and turned back to hold her hesitant daughter.

Feng Wenbai asked his wife and adopted daughter to leave first, and then he went to Liu Tang.

After thinking it over, he said, "Mr. Liu, with all due respect, if the evil value is high, is there any way to reduce it?"

Liu Tang looked at the other person's head and found that although his evil value was also several hundred, it was far lower than Zhou Youwei's more than a thousand.

It seems that the sins Zhou Youwei committed did not affect him enough to bear the consequences.

Liu Tang understood that this person was probably asking on behalf of Zhou Youwei, and he couldn't help but sigh:

【Brother, you are true love. 】

Mo Qianhe smiled as he listened to Liu Tang's answer. "As long as his good points accumulate to a level higher than his evil points, the excess will automatically offset his evil points at regular intervals. However, Mr. Zhou's evil points are too high, and he didn't donate to charity during his lifetime. It's not easy for him to accumulate enough good points."

Feng Wenbai didn't show any embarrassment on his face at having his secrets exposed. He just nodded to express his gratitude and then walked through the mirror.

Seeing that Mo Qianhe was still not leaving, Min Liang waited by the mirror.

Although this liar often cheated him, he never harmed him, so they had some kind of favor between them.

At this time, the live broadcast room detected that the copy was about to end, and the camera was gradually turned off, and there were very few viewers left.

Mo Qianhe walked up to Liu Tang and said solemnly, "Liu Tang, do you want to come with me?"

Liu Tang looked at the other person's serious and handsome eyes, and heard the magnetic voice echoing in his ears. For a moment, he felt his heart pounding.
