Chapter 123 [(*^▽^*)]
Jiang Xiaoyue noticed his confident demeanor, narrowed her eyes slightly, and could roughly tell that Lin Leyou in front of her was not someone who could be bullied easily.
Perhaps it's because they have good weapons and equipment; in that case, they can't act recklessly.
Why are you so nervous? What can a little girl like me do to you?
That's hard to say!
After saying that, Shen Yuesheng seemed to receive a signal, slowly got up and sat down on the other side of Jiang Xiaoyue, saying with slight dissatisfaction, "Yeah, yeah, I want to get closer to you! Honestly, being so cold, how will you find a girlfriend in the future!"
Before Lin Leyou could even react, she heard a loud crash coming from the kitchen, as if something had fallen to the ground.
Immediately following was a thud, the sound of someone falling to the ground.
"ah!"
"Big brother! Big brother, what's wrong, big brother?!"
Everyone got up and headed towards the kitchen, including Lin Leyou and Xue Rui. It could be said that everyone who had come downstairs was heading this way.
Even Wang Xin and Ding Baishuang, who had been nowhere to be seen just moments before, came out.
Not long after, everyone walked to the entrance of the kitchen and saw the person lying on the ground. It was indeed Yao Yanfeng, the eldest son of the owner of the Snow Mountain Villa.
They announced yesterday that he would be in charge of the entire villa, but unexpectedly he died this morning.
The person fell backward onto the ground, next to a bowl containing dough. After falling to the ground, the dough inside remained intact in the bowl without spilling out.
Yao Yanfeng lay face up, his hands gripping his neck, his mouth agape, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently outwards, his expression frozen in that moment of extreme agony and rage.
Lin Leyou's gaze swept over everyone present, finally settling on Yao Yanfeng's family. It was clear that this person had been poisoned.
As for the murderer... Yesterday, apart from the deceased Yao Yanfeng, all the members of this family went into the kitchen, and they even sneaked in in the middle of the night. We don't know what they did.
Just then, Lin Leyou heard a system notification.
"The Werewolf game has officially begun. Lin Leyou, your task is to find evidence to prove that Yao Yanhua is the real culprit."
"Hint: One of the other nine game participants has the same task as you. Only when the first group finds complete evidence to prove that the target is the murderer will the task be considered complete."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment. Of the ten game participants, five NPCs survived, and he had a partner with the same mission.
In other words, ten people are divided into five groups to prove that one of the five surviving NPCs is the real culprit.
"Attention! Players can kill each other. If you die before completing the mission, your final reward will be halved."
"Reward Rules: The final reward tier is determined by the order of death and the number of other game participants killed. The first tier rewards 10 points, and the reward is multiplied by three for each subsequent tier!"
The reward is purely based on points; there is no monetary reward.
Lin Leyou immediately realized that if one of the game participants survived to the end, that number would be 10, and if he killed the other nine people, that number would be nine. Finally, by adding the two together, he could get the 19th tier of reward.
In other words, the final number of points he can get is 3 to the power of 18 multiplied by 10. How many points is that?
It must be several billion, right?
Although it's unlikely, what if it happens?
What if someone actually possesses both strength and luck? Are all these points generated by the system of the Endless World?
No way?
It must have been produced by the organizers of this game, right?
Does he have that many points?
Billions?
Oh, by the way, if you don't complete the task, the reward will be halved, but that's still a lot! And what if you do complete the task?
It's impossible to say that such a person absolutely doesn't exist, unless the game's participants have some hidden settings regarding the identities of these ten participants, in addition to these basic elements.
I haven't received any system notification yet, which means that I'm not the one with the special identity. Of course, it's also possible that I'm overthinking it and the special identity doesn't exist at all.
Forget about that for now. I should focus on how to survive and, while surviving, complete my mission as much as possible.
After all, if the task cannot be completed, the final reward will be halved.
Yes, the rewards will be halved, and there's this too!
To prove that Yao Yanhua is the real culprit, there is another partner who received the same mission as him, but he doesn't know which one it is. He subconsciously glanced at Xue Rui.
It seems Lin Wanyi was right. If I actively sought out acquaintances to participate in the game, what if I encountered a task like this...?
While Lin Leyou was still thinking, Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly said, "Oh dear, mine is Yin Qiuqiu, who's in my group?"
Many people were stunned by these words, but no one echoed them. Even Shen Yuesheng, who usually had a good relationship with Jiang Xiaoyue, did not speak and just stood quietly to the side. It seemed that her target was not Yin Qiuqiu.
Yin Qiuqiu is the wife of an elderly couple and the mother of four children.
Yin Qiuqiu and her husband looked sadly at their deceased eldest son. Since they had decided to hand over the management of this snow mountain villa to their eldest son, they must have liked him very much and wanted to affirm his excellence.
Therefore, the couple had no reason to kill their eldest son; the most likely culprit was their remaining three children.
etc!
Lin Leyou suddenly noticed something: the system was telling him that the task he needed to complete was to prove that the third brother, Yao Yanhua, was the murderer, not to find the real murderer!
Goodness, he's mastered even the word games.
Only then did he understand the sinister intentions behind the game's mission.
Only when the first group finds complete evidence to prove the murderer is the mission accomplished. Other game participants, while searching for the evidence they need, will inevitably destroy the evidence others need along the way in order to prevent them from completing the task faster than themselves.
In this way...
Perhaps in the end no one will be able to complete this task, because no one will be able to find complete evidence!
Lin Leyou sighed. All that was left was to fight and try to survive.
The final reward for everyone will be halved. This is the sinister intention of the game organizer. No one is thinking about completing the task; they are only thinking about fighting and surviving.
Ultimately, the number of kills cannot be concentrated on one person, and the reward will be halved. In other words, after a game, perhaps not too many points need to be given out at all.
Lin Leyou looked at the NPCs and said, "It's not a good idea to leave him lying here. Let's collect his body and find a place to put it."
Yao Yunzhi sighed deeply, looking utterly dejected. "How could this happen? I love this child the most. He's always been so outstanding. How could this happen..."
Yin Qiuqiu patted his back to comfort him, "Don't be too sad, your health isn't good to begin with... the kids will definitely nag you again if they see this."
Yao Yanxue's expression was off; she looked shocked and terrified, as if she were genuinely afraid. But now that her eldest brother was dead, she, as the second sister, should step forward and take charge of the matter.
"Third brother, fourth sister, come and help. We'll leave our eldest brother outside first..."
Yao Yanhua immediately retorted, "Why put it outside?"
Yao Yanfei snapped, "Are you stupid? It's so warm in the villa, it'll stink in no time!"
Moreover, there are guests in the villa. You can't expect the guests to live in the same villa as a corpse, can you?
Yao Yanhua was scolded by his sister and wanted to retort, but he quickly realized that all the guests were there and they couldn't start arguing there.
There was no other way but to deal with the older brother's body first.
"Let's go, let's go now, I'll come and help too."
Yao Yanxue said, "There's an empty little house in the woods behind, not too far away, so let's leave it there for now."
No one had any objections.
To be honest, Lin Leyou really didn't want to live in the same villa as a corpse, even though there would soon be other dead people here.
Lin Leyou put the task aside for the time being. This task was probably destined to be impossible for anyone to complete from the beginning. He decided to confirm everyone's location first.
The three siblings took their eldest brother's body to a small hut not far away, which used to be used to store firewood but was now empty, and returned quickly.
The ten game participants are now testing each other to see if the other person has the same task as them.
Jiang Xiaoyue said her target was Yin Qiuqiu, but she didn't know if it was true. Anyway, no one has stood up for her yet.
If it was someone who had been following behind her, they wouldn't have remained silent the whole time, so the other person who received Yin Qiuqiu's quest must be one of the players over there.
Jiang Xiaoyue's previous subtle targeting and disdainful attitude towards them made the players somewhat wary of her. Even if they heard what she said, they wouldn't take it seriously, and even if they did, they wouldn't stand up for her.
It's important to know that the four targeted players and residents like Jiang Xiaoyue don't communicate at all.
The players definitely noticed the residents' targeting and rejection of them, while the residents showed blatant contempt and murderous intent towards the players.
Even if a player stood up and said that their target was Yin Qiuqiu, Jiang Xiaoyue would probably just snort coldly, roll her eyes, and walk away.
Only Lin Leyou and Xue Rui did not participate in their open and covert struggles.
In the end, they actually managed to find a pair among the players: the bald boss Wang Xin and the domineering female CEO Ding Baishuang. The two of them teamed up to search for evidence together.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that you have to kill two players at the same time is very difficult!
As for the remaining two players, Lu Tianwen and Chen Ying didn't match up. One's mission target was female, and the other's mission target was male. Since they couldn't even match the genders, they couldn't possibly be the same target.
