Chapter 015: Eating Watermelons in the Archives of Lies (4)

After searching the dormitory building, Mo Qianhe and his companions discussed it and decided to go back to the archives to check the situation first.

On the way back, Jiang Minxu walked up to Song Xiaoyan and asked the girl: "I forgot to ask before, this old dog..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly realized that Lao Cheng was Mo Qianhe's father, and asked with his eyes whether the other party could accept him calling him dad.

Mo Qianhe shook his head nonchalantly and said, "No matter what you call me, I will only despise and hate him more than you do."

When everyone heard this, they became even more curious about the story of this father and son.

But now was not the time to be joking. Jiang Minxu put aside his curiosity and continued to ask Song Xiaoyan, "What are the conditions for Lao Gou to help you pass the level? How many points?"

Song Xiaoyan lowered her eyes and said, "I promised him that I would deduct the points the system needed to help me find someone, and give him all the remaining points. I would also give him the right to use the props in this copy once."

Qin Zhengyi felt distressed and angry: "This old dog really doesn't hold back at all. It's okay if he squeezes all the points out of you, but since you found me, I have quite a few points. I can guarantee that you will have enough time to rest in the rest area.

"But you can only use the item twice in a dungeon. If he takes it once, doesn't that mean he's taking away half of your chance of survival?"

Liu Tang listened to this and asked curiously, "Since he lied to you, can you break the contract?

Song Xiaoyan's face was solemn as he shook his head. "The system contract I signed with him means that as long as he enters the dungeon, he will have the opportunity to use my props. As for the points...it seems that he doesn't care much."

Mo Qianhe sneered when he heard this: "Oh, this old immortal is just thinking of using you as a blood bag. One chance to use the props and one chance to save your life can allow him to avoid two fatal crises.

"Even if you don't clear the level, he won't get any points, but he still earns money."

Jiang Minxu waved his hand and said, "How could he not want the points? The total amount of the guaranteed bonus pool for our dungeon is fixed. If all other players are eliminated, then all the points in the guaranteed bonus pool will go to him."

"I've seen the videos of his previous playthroughs, and he always follows this same pattern. He kills other players and pockets the prize pool for himself."

Liu Tang nodded and murmured, "No wonder his evil value is so high. It turns out he has harmed so many people."

Although as long as he wants to see the source of a person's evil value, he can see what this person has done that caused the evil value to increase.

But there were too many people at the beginning, and Liu Tang wanted to get involved in the dispute between Mo Qianhe and this person, so he didn't look closely at the source of the evil value.

When Mo Qianhe heard what Liu Tang said, he asked, "What is the evil value of this old immortal?"

Liu Tang looked at Mo Qianhe and said with a smile, "Do you remember that 'Unfinished Building King' Zhou Youwei from last time? He had the highest Naughtiness value among all the players at the time, but it was only over a thousand. But Lao Cheng's Naughtiness value is approaching ten thousand."

Song Xiaoyan knew best what Zhou Youwei had done, but she didn't expect that Lao Cheng's evil value was ten times that of Zhou Youwei. It shows how terrible this person is.

The way I look at people is also quite scary.

Qin Zhengyi's heart tightened when she heard the keywords "unfinished building" and "Zhou Youwei", but her attention was quickly drawn to another word: "Does evil value... really exist?"

She looked confused. She had first heard of this term in the "18th Level of Hell" a few days ago. At that time, everyone thought it was fake news on the forum and did not take it seriously.

Liu Tang has always believed that it is necessary for players to understand the existence of good and evil values so that they can better adjust their behavior, so he patiently explained it.

At this time, the live broadcast room was also heatedly discussing the "evil value":

"Here we go again, here we go again. So does this value really exist? Why is this one NPC the only one who mentioned it?"

"I personally think it's fake. After all, this NPC likes to 'kill people and destroy their hearts'."

"Actually, I saw some posts from some big guys on the player forum, saying that this value might exist."

"Really? I'm going to check the forum after I finish this copy."

"I heard from this NPC that players with high evil values will be attacked by the boss first. I should do more good deeds in the future."

"You're kidding! I've seen many players who kill people like crazy live pretty well."

After Liu Tang finished explaining, Mo Qianhe looked at Song Xiaoyan and said, "Since you have already paid the corresponding price, you should take back all the benefits you deserve."

Song Xiaoyan looked back at him, his expression gradually brightening: "What do you mean?"

Mo Qianhe raised the corner of his mouth: "He said he would take you through the mission, but he completed the mission first. You are qualified to question him and get relevant information by the way."

Song Xiaoyan understood that this was asking her to go back and continue pretending to cooperate with Lao Cheng in order to trick him back.

Her childhood friend Qin Zhengyi also understood, but disagreed: "No, this Lao Cheng is too dangerous. It's better to have less contact with him."

Song Xiaoyan has always been a person who will never give up until she's vengeful. She said, "It doesn't matter, as long as I don't follow his line of thought. Anyway, the only problem will arise if I put the file fragments in the wrong place, so I won't put them in at all."

Qin Zhengyi knew she couldn't persuade her stubborn childhood friend, so she simply said, "Okay, I'll go with you. After all, we're childhood friends. It wouldn't make sense to separate just because we've found a round of debris."

Song Xiaoyan frowned and thought for a moment, then chose to agree.

If it really doesn't work, she can sacrifice her life to protect the other person, Song Xiaoyan thought.

The live broadcast room is ready to watch the fun:

"Okay, okay, the scam battle between Liar Mo and Liar Lao Cheng is about to begin!"

"Is this the legendary father-son game?"

"I have to admit, even though they are father and son, the two scammers are very different in character."

"Support the liar Mo to kill the liar Lao Cheng!"

"The liar Lao Cheng must die! He killed several of my brothers!"

In the archives, just when the fat man Yin Guanglai was still wondering whether he could put the file fragments in his hand on the file shelf, Song Xiaoyan ran in with his childhood friend.

When they reached Lao Cheng, before Song Xiaoyan could even open her mouth, Qin Zhengyi started to question him, "What's wrong with you guys?! Didn't you agree to exchange information before taking action? Why did you return the files first?! Is this your sincerity in cooperating?!"

Song Xiaoyan glanced at her childhood friend and said that the other party's acting was very natural, maintaining the anxious character she had created from the beginning.

Seeing the two girls coming in aggressively, Yin Guanglai stopped worrying about the file fragments. He rolled his eyes, took a step back, and pointed at Lao Cheng beside him and said:

"You are too impatient, Lao Cheng. I told you to wait for the two girls and discuss the next step together. How could you not wait even a moment?"

He raised the fragments in his hand and said to the two girls, "Look, I haven't put them down yet."

Lao Cheng knew it was pointless to argue at this point, so he gladly took the blame and apologized to the visitor: "Sorry, I was impatient... But we also gained more information because of this."

Yin Guanglai interrupted, "Yes! After you put the file fragments back, the boss will appear! And then ask questions!"

Then Yin Guanglai waved his flesh hands and recounted what had just happened half-truthfully.

"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and caught the frightened Lao Cheng, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his face!" Yin Guanglai said proudly.

Lao Cheng standing by was speechless. Wasn’t he the one who fell just now?

I can’t listen to the barrage anymore:

"You're really good at making up stories, Fatty Silver."

"If I hadn't just glanced over here out of curiosity, I would have almost believed the nonsense of this silver fat man."

"As expected, how honest can someone who is close to the liar Lao Cheng be?"

"He's just trying to be rich."

What made Lao Cheng even more unhappy was that this fat pig told the other two people so easily that the Boss would appear after returning the files. He really didn't think twice.

Song Xiaoyan and her childhood friend looked at each other and extracted the key information.

It seems that it is not enough to just determine what lies there are, but we also have to accurately point out the truth behind the lies.

"Don't think that just because you exchanged some information, the matter is over!" My childhood friend Qin Zhengyi was still pretending to be unwilling to give in.

Song Xiaoyan comforted her childhood friend and said to Lao Cheng, "Let's exchange information. Since we've decided to cooperate, I don't want to go back on my word easily. I hope you can keep your word in the future."

Yin Guanglai chuckled and answered quickly, "Of course I can help you keep an eye on this old liar!"

Seeing that the two girls had indeed collected the fragments, Lao Cheng also wanted to get new information, so he took the lead in recounting the process of obtaining the fragments from the file shelf and clicked play.

Song Xiaoyan and the others then realized that even the fragments returned to the archive shelf could be played, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it was impossible to fully present the scene when the fragments were picked up, at least they did not lose all the information and were not fooled by the other party's random content.

After confirming that the voice was correct, the two looked at the fat man Yin Guanglai.

Yin Guanglai just wanted them to help him determine whether there was anything fishy about the fragments in his hands, so he cooperated very well and clicked play.

The fragments projected the image of a "snow elf in the water".

The girl had a complicated braid, and although her expression couldn't be seen clearly, a hint of disdain could be heard in her processed voice: "Dad has always known about you, he just doesn't care and doesn't want to see you."

"Who did she tell this to?" Qin Zhengyi asked.

Lao Cheng replied: "It's on the roof of the teaching building, to the 'Sad Matryoshka Doll'."

Yin Guanglai tried to analyze: "I think, from what she said, they have the same father."

Qin Zhengyi was a little surprised when she heard this, and then she felt the malice of "White Lotus" towards "Matryoshka".

Saying that a person's father doesn't care about her is, in most cases, quite hurtful.

Qin Zhengyi remembered that this "white lotus" was a mistress.

If they are sisters, then she is the third of her own sisters?

Then they heard Lao Cheng's voice: "Then the 'Sad Doll' jumped off the roof."

Qin Zhengyi's pupils constricted.

Song Xiaoyan noticed that her childhood friend, who had also attempted suicide, had stiffened completely.

If it weren't for the pain, why would people choose to commit suicide?

Qin Zhengyi understands this best.

She turned to look at her childhood friend Song Xiaoyan and said, "I'm even more certain that the cheating man and this white lotus were lying. They forced the 'Matryoshka' to death."

At this moment, Mo Qianhe and the other three, who had deliberately lagged behind a few steps, arrived at the archives.

Yin Guanglai was surprised to see the NPC who had been guiding them was also among them. "Hey? Why is this NPC with you? Is he leading you?"

The fat man walked forward with a look of dissatisfaction on his face and said to Liu Tang, "As the NPC guide, how can you be so partial to one and not the other? Can't you guide us as well?"

Liu Tang was stunned. Just as he was about to explain that he didn't lead the way, he noticed that the other person had several thousand evil points above his head, and his expression fell.

After a quick glance, he found out that this man was involved in pyramid scheme fraud and had caused many people to lose their fortunes. It could be said that he was guilty of a heinous crime.

Liu Tang looked at the fat man and said arrogantly, "What qualifications do you, a player, have to question the behavior of NPCs? I lead whoever I want, and it's none of your business."

Yin Guanglai choked on the spot.

The other players tried hard to stifle laughter and avoid mocking him in person.

The barrage of laughter:

"Hahahaha, applause for my wife! Great job!"

"This is hilarious! Players have never been treated like this by NPCs before. This is going to be a fight!"

"Let's fight! Let's see this NPC's fighting power!"

"Hahahaha, you just want to see this fat silver guy get beaten, right? I can see that!"

Lao Cheng, who was standing behind Yin Guanglai, looked curious at this moment.

This was the first time he had seen such a vivid NPC.

In the past, in dungeons, NPCs would enter a cycle of behavior patterns after completing their tasks.

Although many NPCs' dialogues and actions are lifelike, they may still show confusion or stiffness in response to unexpected questions.

But this NPC obviously has an independent thought process and different coping methods depending on the individual.

This is so rare.

He kind of wanted to have more contact with this NPC.

Mo Qianhe, who was standing next to Liu Tang, noticed the look in the old immortal's eyes when he looked at Liu Tang and became alert.
