Chapter 185 The people in our small town are simple and honest and won’t lie.
Li Mo faced Zhong Mu, smiled and pretended to attack. Zhong Mu immediately fought back, showing off his bravery in driving away the monster in front of the players.
He originally meant to pretend, but Li Mo was serious.
The sharp axe swung over in an instant, chopping off one of Li Mo's arms. The arm fell to the ground and turned into a pitch-black tentacle that was twisting. Zhong Mu was so scared that his face turned pale and he stopped moving.
Li Mo first threatened the group of players, then covered his arm with dripping black blood and walked away, perfectly acting like a monster that had been chased away. However, Zhong Mu was still frozen in place, staring at the twisting tentacle on the ground in panic.
I'm done for. I accidentally cut off one of the boss's tentacle. I hope he won't hold a grudge against me.
He was still frozen, but the players were very excited and came forward to express their gratitude to Zhong Mu. "Thank you! Thank you! I didn't expect there would be monsters on the island during the day. I thought we were going to be wiped out!"
"I finally found an underground hideout and survived the night, but I didn't expect there would be a monster coming up. I was so scared that my heart almost stopped."
"This dungeon is so dangerous...even more dangerous than the last one I played. They said the newbie survival dungeon was easy to pass."
We are all newcomers indeed, and the first thing we learn in a dungeon is self-protection. And finding a reliable boss to rely on among the newcomers is the best way to protect ourselves.
He has props and weapons, and he is not afraid of monsters at all. He must be a big shot!
Zhong Mu came back to his senses and reassured everyone, "It's okay, the monster is gone."
As he said that, he turned around, picked up the tentacles on the ground, and put them into the storage space. He had already thought about how to kowtow and beg for forgiveness when he returned.
The players stared blankly at Zhong Mu picking up the monster tentacle, a little dumbfounded, "Boss... why are you picking that up?"
"That's a monster's arm. How terrifying."
"Yeah, what are you picking this up for?"
Under the players' staring gazes, Zhong Mu said solemnly with a straight face, "Collectibles."
Players took a deep breath. Any boss who collects monster limbs as collectibles must be a super perverted and invincible boss!
The players instantly became enthusiastic.
"Excuse me, Boss, how many dungeons have you cleared?"
Zhong Mu glanced at the barrage of comments and lied calmly, "There are about ninety of them. They brought in a new person, but the new person ran around and got lost during the day. We are looking for him on the island now."
When the players heard the clearance record, their eyes lit up. "High-level player! I actually met a high-level player in this dungeon!"
"Boss, are you still in need of new recruits? Can you take me under your wing?"
"I'm so lucky to meet a big boss in this dungeon!"
Among the enthusiastic players, there are undoubtedly a few who still have doubts, "Have you really completed so many levels? Why doesn't it look like it to me? You must be lying."
Zhong Mu raised his eyes and looked at the players standing at the end who were very aggressive. At first glance, they were survival players who mainly focused on robbery. They were not easy to rely on others, nor would they trust others easily. It was normal for them not to believe in others.
"I look pretty weak, are you pretending to be a big shot here?"
"How could there be over ninety high-level players like that that we would encounter in such a small instance, let alone bringing newbies along? High-level players all know that newbies are the most troublesome and would only get in the way, so there's no way high-level players would bring newbies into such a low-level instance."
"Yeah, real senior players won't bring in newbies. Are you fake?"
Amidst a few sarcastic voices, the comments were raging with anger. Aren’t they just training newcomers from a distance?
Zhong Mu stared at them, thinking.
Being questioned and looked down upon, how would Brother Xiu react at this time?
Only by simulating a real boss can you achieve the most realistic counterattack effect.
He was silent for a few seconds, staring at them intently. Under their gazes, he silently tightened the axe in his hand and said slowly and coldly, "If I'm real, you'll know if you come over and try it."
The players immediately wiped away the smiles on their faces. If the opponent was really a high-level player, they would be dead if they went head-to-head with him. They mocked him verbally, but they really didn't dare to gamble their lives.
Seeing that the players were silent, Zhong Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't come over, I will go over there."
He took a step forward, and the player trembled instantly. He denied it with a pale face, "I just couldn't believe there were high-level players in this dungeon. Others said the probability of encountering one was very low... so I was skeptical... Don't be angry, big boss."
"Yeah, yeah...it's normal to have some doubts...we don't mean anything against you..."
They looked away and didn't dare to confront Zhong Mu head-on.
Zhong Mu didn't say anything, just stared at them.
A boss should act like a boss. That arrogance of power over others. Even if the other party admits their mistake, they can't let it go easily! Act like a boss first! Put some pressure on the other party!
The indifference displayed by Zhong Mu made the scene dull for a moment, and the atmosphere became particularly solemn.
Those stubborn players were extremely frightened under Zhong Mu's gaze. The big guy didn't express his opinion, but just stared at them, as if killing or not was up to him. The stiff and heavy atmosphere made them break into cold sweats.
You wouldn't struggle through multiple instances without getting killed by a monster, only to be taunted by a passing boss, and end up getting upset, right? No!
Some of the foul-mouthed players now wish they could slap themselves in the face.
Zhong Mu was a little anxious beneath his expressionless face.
Why isn't anyone trying to give them a way out? If someone comes out to smooth things over, he'll just let it go! Hurry!
Finally, in the low-pressure atmosphere, someone timidly and cautiously said, "How about you, sir, just let them go... They're also blind and accidentally offended you. Just apologize and don't take it to heart."
This boss looks gloomy and his aura is very weird. Sometimes he seems approachable, and the next moment he suddenly becomes cold. They are also afraid that the boss will be unhappy and kill a few people and leave, which will make it impossible for them to get close to him.
Yin Xiu should have sneered, ignored them, and turned away at this time, but Zhong Mu couldn't do that. His imitation was just to serve as a deterrent, and he had to keep them there next.
"Forget it, I'll just consider it as a good deed for my friend and reluctantly let you go." He acted like a butcher who had turned over a new leaf and started eating vegetarian food, but the players had never seen a high-level player before, and thought that all big guys might be so weird, so they didn't take it to heart, and were glad that the tense situation had eased.
The barrage of comments flew by at high speed, with praises coming one after another.
"This Xiu brother is really good at imitating him! Even if he only learned 50% of his temperament, it would be enough to scare people!"
"Hahaha, it's really Brother Xiu here, but he's even scarier than he pretends. Brother Xiu's face is really scary when he gets cold..."
"Zhong Mu is a flexible kid. We were right about him. He's a good prospect."
"The acting is pretty good too, as expected of someone who's been close to Brother Xiu, he can imitate it perfectly!"
Seeing that the player group had no doubts about Boss Zhong Mu's identity, their plan became more convenient.
Take the next step, forge identity and make false propaganda.
Under the influence of Ye's true teachings, all the old players in the town were able to skillfully and quickly customize a series of methods to deceive people.
They can protect themselves, fight back, cheat, and threaten. The town is united and friendly, and the people are simple and honest. They will not steal a single needle or thread from other players in the dungeon.
If this group of people were put together in real life, they would have some criminal records.
