Chapter 126 [(*^▽^*)]
Moreover, the battles between players can sometimes be more vicious and bloody than those between dungeon bosses or cruel NPCs.
"That's true. After all, to prove that the target NPC is the real culprit, it has to be done in front of all the NPCs."
There is still a time lag in this process. Finding evidence doesn't mean you've succeeded. This time lag is a good opportunity for someone else to take action.
Even if we can't kill the two people who obtained the evidence, we must find an opportunity to destroy the evidence they obtained. Either way, we'll have gained something.
Even if it doesn't benefit you personally, but it makes others' benefits disappear, you can still consider it a gain.
Lin Leyou, "Do you remember when Jiang Xiaoyue said in front of Yin Qiuqiu that her target was Yin Qiuqiu?"
Xue Rui's eyes widened slightly. He immediately remembered that when Jiang Xiaoyue said those words, everyone was there, but the NPCs seemed not to have heard her.
"So, they'll pretend they don't see our discussions about missions, or even our mutual killing?"
Lin Leyou: "Perhaps it's not pretending, but that they really can't see it?"
Xue Rui: "Should we abandon this mission?"
Lin Leyou said, "Anyway, we're in the same group. Let's take advantage of the fact that others are looking for evidence and kill them all together. At least kill as many as we can."
As for what will happen to the two of them in the end, we'll have to wait and see if they survive. Maybe they'll get killed in return when they're killing others.
After a moment's thought, Xue Rui realized that Lin Leyou was right; everyone was now basically searching for evidence on the first floor.
The first floor is only so big, so if there really is evidence, it can be found very quickly.
To put it bluntly, the organizers of this game set up this task with ulterior motives.
The purpose is to get these participants to fight as soon as possible, and it must be a free-for-all. If it's a free-for-all, then the possibility of the same person killing multiple other participants will be greatly reduced.
It's even impossible for such a person to exist.
The result of this is that the game organizer doesn't need to pay too many points, can still witness a bloody melee, and doesn't need to spend too much time and energy on a single game.
They really did take everything into account! Lin Leyou thought to himself, marveling at the game organizer's meticulousness and shrewdness.
So it seems that Jiangxia Li might not be as rich as he imagined... no, he might be richer in points.
Xue Rui, "What should we do now?"
Lin Leyou, "Did you take out and use the spider I gave you before?"
Xue Rui: "I used it, but I only have three spiders, and they're all on the first floor right now, so I can't see everything."
Lin Leyou said, "Tell me where your spider is, I'll take a look first."
Without a second thought, Xue Rui immediately told Lin Leyou the exact location where he had hidden his spider, without hiding anything, which showed that he completely trusted Lin Leyou.
As Lin Leyou was confirming these locations, the spiders he had arranged suddenly saw two people walking up to the second floor.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Bald Wang Xin and the domineering female CEO Ding Baishuang.
The two walked upstairs with hurried steps, glancing back every now and then to make sure no one was behind them before continuing, as if someone was chasing them.
They had only gone halfway up the stairs when someone did indeed appear behind them.
It turned out to be Jiang Xiaoyue, Shen Yuesheng, Qin Fengmian, and Zhao Changzhou, a total of four people, who were residents like Lin Leyou.
Is it time to start taking action?
Should we eliminate players Wang Xin and Ding Baishuang right now?
Lu Tianwen was unaware of what was happening here and was still walking around the kitchen by himself.
Chen Ying has already been killed by him. If Jiang Xiaoyue and the other three really make a move against Wang Xin and Ding Baishuang, the outcome is self-evident.
These two players will definitely be killed, but how many people they can take with them before they die is another question.
Lin Leyou sent a message to Xue Rui, "Did you see that?"
Xue Rui: "I see it. Shall we go out now?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "No need, just observe carefully. It's not time for us to make our appearance yet."
Xue Rui had no doubts. "Okay."
If he were alone, Xue Rui would make his own decisions, but if Lin Leyou was present, he would generally not object to Lin Leyou's decisions unless he was 100% sure that his decision would be better.
In his mind, Lin Leyou was much more capable than himself.
Wang Xin and Ding Baishuang stood on the stairs, neither going up nor down, remaining motionless and warily watching the four people below.
The two stared at each other for a minute without making a sound.
Shen Yuesheng then smiled and stepped out from behind Jiang Xiaoyue, "Huh? Weren't you going upstairs? Why are you still standing there?"
"Don't you want to go upstairs? If you don't want to go up, can you please stay put? We were planning to go upstairs!"
Ding Baishuang's face grew increasingly cold, while Wang Xin became more and more panicked, cold sweat constantly pouring down his bald head, as if a great battle was about to break out.
He seemed to be sweating profusely, but this Wang Xin was clearly no fool. If Ding Baishuang was the only one with the strength, Jiang Xiaoyue and the others would have made their move long ago, instead of remaining inactive.
It's estimated that they're still in the process of testing the waters.
Moreover, judging from Ding Baishuang's personality, she is someone who would not cooperate with a good-for-nothing.
While observing their situation, Lin Leyou checked the three props he had just obtained from Chen Ying. After examining the peach wood sword and the bell, he exclaimed that he had been tricked.
He originally thought that the worst he could get was a green item, which was slightly better than a white item, but he didn't expect it to be the worst white item. What's worse, both of these items were one-time use items, and they would be gone after one use.
The peach wood sword can deal damage to ghost-type NPCs. The amount of damage depends on the NPC's defense. If you encounter a powerful ghost-type NPC, this attack will probably only scratch their health.
There's also a bell, which can only be shaken once. However, this thing is more useful than the peach wood sword. Shaking it once can dispel the ghosts around you, preventing them from getting close to you for one minute. It's somewhat useful.
However... even combined, these two things are not as useful as his cursed dagger!
No, this bell is still somewhat useful. If there are too many ghosts, the bell can buy time, but the peach wood sword is not very useful.
Lin Leyou casually tossed the two items aside, then picked up the remaining item, a prop card that Chen Ying had taken out of her backpack to fight back against him a split second before he killed her.
She swiped the prop card towards herself, probably intending to pull out a knife, but unexpectedly...
I didn't look at it carefully before, but now that I'm looking closely, I realize... it's a gem card!
Are you kidding me? This gem card...
Wait a minute!
After his initial excitement, he realized that this gem card was completely different from the gem cards that the people from the Bureau of Order had brought out before. This gem card was dull and had no shine at all.
However, the one we saw before was glittering gold; the gold-plated item card was a gold gem card.
"Note: This gem card is a gold-tier gem card obtained through a lottery. It requires 1000 points to activate. Activate now?"
Goodness, the Gem Card is indeed the gold-tier Gem Card I know, but it was obtained through a lottery and requires 1000 points to activate.
This system really never misses an opportunity to rack up points!
Chen Ying hasn't activated the Gold Gem Card yet. Is it because she doesn't have 1000 points? Or does she think that opening the Gem Card will give her gems, so she hasn't paid attention to it?
So that's how I ended up getting a good deal?
After all, unactivated gem cards are dull and gray, and the system won't explicitly state what the gem card's function is. It will only tell the player that it's a gem card that needs to be activated before it can be used, or at most, that it's a gold-tier item card.
Lin Leyou looked at his points; with 3310 points in hand, it didn't seem impossible for him to take out 1000 points.
If my cursed dagger were to become a gold-plated weapon, I wonder if it would be more convenient to use.
However, he already has a gold-plated weapon, so logically he should use the gem on his only gold-plated weapon to maximize its value.
"activation."
As for whether to activate it, there's no need to hesitate.
The Bureau of Order Management placed the Gold Gem Cards and Gold Weapon Cards together for people to choose from, which shows that the Gold Gem Cards are actually of similar status to the Weapon Cards.
Activating the gem card with just 1000 points is a huge win for him! He could even resell it, but Lin Leyou had no such plans.
"Prompt: Gem Card activated. Use it?"
Lin Leyou: "Use."
A golden gem, about the size of a quail egg, immediately appeared in his hand.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for obtaining a gold-grade gem. Please select a weapon to socket it. A handling fee of 100 points will be deducted for socketing."
Lin Leyou's lips twitched. Another 100 points!
Is this system really greedy for money? Or should it be thankful that this time it only requires 100 points instead of 1000?
Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to upgrade his dagger to a gold-plated weapon or his air gun to an even more powerful weapon.
Logically, the choice should definitely be the air-to-ground weapon, since it is already a gold-plated weapon, and its power would more than double if it were upgraded further.
But he had a different idea about the cursed dagger; if this dagger could…
Just as he was struggling with his decision, the stalemate on the stairs was broken. Lu Tianwen came out of the kitchen and was right behind Jiang Xiaoyue and the other three.
Seeing them facing off, Lu Tianwen was both puzzled and wary, but his tone remained as gentle as before, "What... are you doing?"
