Chapter 025 Mirage (II)

Are these gods really so idle? Why do they have to squeeze into the dungeon one by one?

In the guest room of the B&B, Dong Jin recalled the exaggerated fighting instinct of Lei Ming when he first met him, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​armed conflict. Then he resigned himself to turning off the live broadcast interface on his mobile phone and began to try to search for specific information about this person.

He just entered "black and gold hair monster on Mirage Island" in the search bar, and a half-length photo of Lei Ming looking out of the screen with his eyebrows lowered appeared directly on the screen.

At the top of the photo comment area at the moment was a series of popular science about him by a certain netizen:

"Isn't that the handsome non-human in the photo? I met him by chance outside the water opera house of Mirage Island. Later I asked people and found out that he was the owner of Mirage Island, Sit."

"Has someone organized a heart-breaking challenge there recently? I hope no anchor is fooled by this guy's face, because this guy has a really bad temper. I suggest you run as far away as possible."

"Don't be so stupid as to believe that humans and monsters are one family, otherwise you will die without knowing how."

Just when Dong Jin clicked on the netizen's avatar and wanted to ask him about some specific situations, However, he found that the netizen's account had been displayed as "deactivated", and even the status of the previous dynamic about Lei Ming had changed to "blocked due to violation of personal privacy".

A coincidence that is too much is no longer a coincidence.

Dong Jin guessed that this should be the setting of "only the first discoverer can see part of the information". So after he finished reading, the whole page disappeared directly.

After realizing that he could not get more information about Lei Ming on the Internet, Dong Jin turned around and started searching for tsunamis.

Maybe it was because the resurrection of spiritual energy brought too many disasters to the world, but the Internet was not very concerned about the so-called super-large tsunami that was about to destroy the island. Instead, they were more looking forward to what kind of sparks would be created between the anchors on the island, and between the anchors and the monsters.

Dong Jin, who only saw a sentence "a tsunami will come in ten days" in the corner of the local news, could only respect it.

He said earlier that the first 1,000 trialists on Tianzaishi were a group of demons dancing in disorder, but it was too early. This island was truly infested with monsters. Thinking of this, he randomly clicked on some anchors' live broadcast rooms and took a look.

In this world with tsunamis, monsters, and even a pitiful lack of food, humans are living in such dire straits. Both the anchor and the audience are still laughing and commenting on the non-humans on the island. Is

the atmosphere of this world really so harmonious? Or is he, a guy who always talks about conspiracy, too out of place here?

Dong Jin, who was reflecting on whether he was a little too dark, finally opened his own live broadcast room again. After opening it, he also lowered his eyes and looked at the time in the upper right corner of his mobile phone.

He arrived at Mirage Island at 9 o'clock. It was already past 11 o'clock after dealing with various things. It was time to go downstairs for lunch.

While he lowered his eyes and thought about lunch, the audience in the dungeon who had been staring at the black screen of the live broadcast room for a long time finally found a chance and began to vent their grievances like crazy:

[What a great face! Even so, you can't be so bad!]

[Out of 1,000 anchors, you are the only one who has stayed in your room until now. You don't think you can stop being moved by not going out, right? Don't be silly. If you keep going like this, you will be directly judged as the first to be eliminated from the negative game.]

[Baby, you really can't stay at home anymore. Take us to see the handsome guy we met before! This is the first time I have seen such a handsome monster. I am really curious about his prototype... Even if you can't be moved by him because of the challenge, it's okay if he is moved by you! If other humans or monsters have big emotional fluctuations towards you, you can also get a certain popularity increase~]

As the audience in the dungeon quickly swiped the screen, the audience in the first and second level universes outside the dungeon also swiped the screen at the same time.

[Live broadcast in the live broadcast, this dungeon has this nesting doll. By the way, is there any kind-hearted person who can answer me, is the person that Dong Jin met at the beginning really Lei Ming? That chosen worker is not worried about too much debt, so he just sneaked into the dungeon to play?]

[Didn’t you go to the commentary booth to see the previous one? He is indeed Lei Ming, but he didn’t sneak away. He reported Kai and let Kai work for him, and then went to the dungeon to play openly. How to say this operation, maybe only Lei Ming in the highest universe can do such a thing. ］

［Compared to Lei Ming's commentary, I would rather watch Kai. Kai has such good taste! He has been staying in Dong Jin's live broadcast room since the beginning of the dungeon. Just for this aesthetic, it is not an exaggeration to call him an artist, right? ］

［Artist? You have never seen Kai when he gets crazy. He is the god of carnival who always does whatever he wants... Wait, Kai will definitely not tolerate Lei Ming doing this. Doesn't Dong Jin live on the same floor as Lei Ming? You may be able to see the continuation of the fight between these two in his live broadcast room soon. ］

At this time, Dong Jin, who was being stared at by two waves of spectators, was walking towards the kitchen downstairs with a selfie stick in his hand.

Although it is not clear what the situation is in other B&Bs, in the three-story villa where he is now, the ratio of monsters, trial-takers, and ordinary humans seems to be 1:1:3.

Before entering the kitchen, Dong Jin glanced at some humanoid monsters passing by. Judging from the data, their combat power is undoubtedly higher than that of ordinary people, but not so high that they can remain unscathed under a tsunami.

These 1,000 anchors risked their lives to stay here for money, fame and other things, so why do these monsters stay here? Are they reluctant to leave the environment on the island, so they want to leave on the last day?

When more and more things were wrong, Dong Jin, who had been silent for half a day, decided to start making things happen.

It was lunch time, but this B&B only provided ingredients and did not provide a la carte service.

So except for the anchors who went to the restaurant in the center of the island early, the other anchors and monsters who stayed in the B&B were eating fast food. It was the kind of fast food that Dong Jin couldn't understand, but was shocked and hard to swallow.

In this case, Dong Jin reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​using the star-gazing pie to make the people around him emotionally fluctuate - because judging from the level of fast food here, that thing might be just what these people like.

So in the end, Dong Jin chose to pick a piece of tofu and make another equally stimulating dish.

Of course, this time it was not to stimulate people psychologically, but to bring people the ultimate impact in terms of vision, smell and taste.

Ten minutes later, the overbearing spicy smell of pickled peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies instantly spread throughout the first floor, and even invaded the B&B next door. With

the vague gazes from all around, Dong Jin sat down at the table alone with the prepared Mapo Tofu in his hand.

It turns out that the food shock he brought to people in the food desert dungeon world was very useful. At this moment, the heart rate fluctuation graph of the people around him displayed on his wrist watch proved this point well.

Even Lei Ming, who had just returned from outside, that is, Xi Te in this dungeon, cast a look at him with an unclear expression.

[What is going on? I came here to watch a love live broadcast. Why does someone with such a face end up using food to stimulate people's emotions? ! The most important thing is that the dish made me so hungry even through the screen! ]

At this moment, with the sudden increase in the number of bullet screens, the popularity of the live broadcast room in the Dongjin dungeon ushered in another rapid rise.

Dong Jin, who was eating, found that emotional fluctuations other than love were also recognized, and even the emotional fluctuations of the audience outside the live broadcast room seemed to bring him popularity. His awakened desire to make trouble became more and more eager to move.

Love is so boring. Compared with being moved, he is better at attracting hatred.

Who says that being extremely angry and having a pounding heart can't be considered being moved in another sense?

Another thing is, since popularity is exchanged for money and tickets on this island, is it also feasible in reverse?

If he makes a lot of money first, can he exchange it for popularity? Even if the organizer does not allow redemption in the end, as long as he clearly marks the price of how much money he will pay for the time he stays in the live broadcast room, is there any fear that he will not be the most popular?

At this moment, Dong Jin, a genius of logic, had his mind completely opened up. He even began to think about how to implement these ideas. At this moment, a chubby man who looked to be in his twenties and looked very wealthy came to sit opposite him and said,

"Have you finished eating? After you finish eating, can you let me have a taste of this dish?"

Dong Jin glanced at the information bar above the fat man's head and confirmed that the other party was a humanoid monster. He was originally planning to refuse and then draw a wave of hatred, but suddenly changed his mind.

The next second, he took half a bowl of the remaining food from the pot in the kitchen and pushed it in front of the other party.

After noticing that the other party was eating, his emotions suddenly soared because of the spicy food, and Dong Jin lowered his eyes thoughtfully.

Spiciness is actually a kind of pain.

Dong Jin never overestimates the moral bottom line of the trialists. Once others find that the emotional fluctuations caused by pain are still within the heart rate monitoring range, this so-called challenge of not being moved will gradually evolve into a challenge of survival.

Because there will definitely be trialists who will attack others openly or secretly, trying to pass the level by violence.

"My name is Pig, what is this dish? It's so delicious! Can you be my chef? You can offer any salary!" On the other side of the table, the fat boy who was completely impressed by Dong Jin's cooking skills was talking endlessly.

Dong Jin accepted all the compliments from Pig frankly.

Because his cooking skills are just that high.

With the help of the Eye of Truth, the way to handle ingredients, the specific control of heat, and the exact time to add seasonings are all laid out in front of him in an easy-to-understand manner. So even if he rarely cooks, as long as he does, it must be the best product. No matter

how good his cooking skills are or how short of money he is, Dong Jin still has no interest in being this family's chef.

So at this moment, he just lazily declined and said, "I'm very expensive."

When he said the word "expensive", Lei Ming, who was about to go upstairs, suddenly turned around and looked at him. Dong Jin, who was sensitive to the other's gaze, looked back at him in confusion.

What's the matter? After going bankrupt, even if he lost his memory, he still has PTSD about the word "expensive"?

Fortunately, Lei Ming couldn't hear Dong Jin's inner plan, otherwise he would never turn around and go upstairs so easily.

At this time, the little fat man who only cared about eating still refused to give up and said, "Don't refuse so quickly. We can talk about the money later. I'm also planning to hold a banquet to show off your cooking skills to all my companions..."

The little fat man, who had no idea how many billions of money Dong Jin had defrauded in the dream dungeon, was still trying hard to fight for it.

Dong Jin, who was not interested just now, was aroused by the second half of the monster's sentence. Because at the moment when he used food to cause Pig's violent emotional fluctuations, a new branch suddenly appeared on his game panel.

[Side Quest 2: Hunt monsters (the number can be accumulated). ］

From the timing of this task, is it possible that only when the monsters' emotions are aroused to a certain extent, the trialists are qualified to kill them? And the more monsters are killed in the dungeon, the higher the final dungeon evaluation will be.

For this task and this guess, Dong Jin did not refuse Pigg again, but just took the money for the meal that the other party offered and said,

"I will think about it."

Then he picked up the backpack he brought down from upstairs and went out to visit the island.

The anchors who participated in the unmoving challenge all had zero initial funds, and they showed their talents in order to get to the center of the island.

Dong Jin, who earned the fare with half a bowl of mapo tofu, took a taxi without hesitation, saving time and effort by letting the driver take him around the island. When the car was halfway through the journey, he saw a huge water building with a strange shape in the distance.

If he guessed correctly, it was the water opera house mentioned in the comments of netizens.

Thinking of this, Dong Jin talked to the driver, "Is there a performance at the water theater today?" Upon hearing this,

the driver said enthusiastically to the big patron who chartered the car, "The theater on our island is usually open every two days. It's a bit unfortunate that you missed its opening time today. But there is a performance tomorrow afternoon. I heard that it seems to be telling a story about gods and tsunamis."

"Are you a tourist who just came to the island? Do you want to go to the theater? Then I advise you not to waste your time there. Because the tickets for this theater have always been issued internally and never sold to the outside, tourists can't get in at all."

After hearing this, Dong Jin glanced at the live broadcast room that was still open on his mobile phone. At this moment, the audience in the live broadcast room said the same thing as the driver. It seems that this theater is indeed not easy to enter.

But this is only the first day of the dungeon. Dong Jin, who was not in a hurry, did not immediately go to find out what was going on. Instead, he continued to visit several other iconic buildings on the island and asked the driver to take him back to the B&B.

After strolling around this afternoon, although Dong Jin did not find any particularly useful clues from those buildings, he witnessed a trialist trying to kill a monster, but the monster was unscathed.

It seems that his previous guess was correct.

Only when the monster's emotions fluctuate to a certain extent, the player is qualified to attack them.

It is estimated that this is the lesson learned by the cosmic will of the highest universe from the last round of trials. It knew that it could no longer allow the trial participants to attack at will without restriction, otherwise, no matter what the trial was, it would be killed in the end.

Dong Jin, who was not a martial arts player, did not feel any impact.

Compared to him, the MVP who ranked third in the last dungeon and relied on assassination to speed through the trial should have found this more difficult. As for the fourth-ranked charm player, he should be in the opposite situation, right?

Dong Jin, who estimated the current situation of the other MVPs, still had dinner with the fat man. He just made two spicy Sichuan dishes, ate them quickly and went back upstairs.

This time, from the time he came back to the time he went upstairs, Dong Jin did not encounter Lei Ming. Even when he passed the other party's closed door on the way back to the room, he did not hear any movement inside.

Dong Jin, who knew the identity of Lei Ming, did not think that the role played by this god in the dungeon would be simple.

The only place on this island that needs to be crossed is the floating opera house. But today the opera house was closed, but when Lei Ming came back at noon, he found some water stains on his ankles. It can be seen that there may be some secrets between the opera house and Lei Ming.

So after the night deepened, Dong Jin, who had created several trumpets online, put away his mobile phone and climbed out of the window.

While he was shuttling between the various B&Bs, focusing on confirming the number of monsters and trialists in each B&B, he was looking for the missing Lei Ming with the intention of trying his luck, hoping to get the key clues of this dungeon from his traces.

Perhaps because there was no such thing as luck anymore, Dong Jin walked around in the increasingly humid water vapor for most of the night, but still could not find any trace of thunder.

But just as he was half asleep and half awake leaning on the pillow in the guest room of the B&B, the abnormal sound of the waves in the rainstorm made him subconsciously open his eyes. Almost intuitively, Dong Jin got up and walked to the window.

The B&B he was staying in faced the sea, and his room was at an excellent height for viewing the sea.

But what suddenly broke into his eyes tonight was not a peaceful ocean, but a storm that was wantonly disturbing the ocean.

Or in other words, it was a monster like a storm.

Through the night of the distant sea, through the violent storm on the sea, Dong Jin stared at the dark figure standing quietly on the ocean. At this moment, all he could see were schools of sharks with sharp backs quietly swimming around the figure.

As time passed, and as the storm intensified, the boiling blood from the sharks being torn apart almost dyed the entire ocean red under the night sky.

Even though they were far apart, when Lei Ming glanced at him again, Dong Jin, who was hiding by the window, seemed to feel the cold, damp, and lingering bloody smell on him.

The darkness could not block Dong Jin's sight. So just now he had a clear glimpse of the inhuman black scales on Lei Ming's hands, and his increasingly obscure dark golden pupils.

That precarious rationality, the blatant madness, and the weird and wild hormones that filled from inside to outside, all repeatedly clamored that this was a complete monster.

If strength is a kind of beauty, then Lei Ming at this moment is undoubtedly hopelessly beautiful.

For a moment, Dong Jin couldn't tell whether he was trembling with murderous intent from a distance, or because of this strength, he realized the extreme tension of the law of the jungle in nature.

But now is obviously not the time to be distracted.

Dong Jin's first thought after coming back to his senses was: How did Lei Ming provoke these sharks?

His second thought was: With a tsunami coming, would there really be so many sharks swimming to the surface to cause trouble?

The second question could not be answered by the bullet screen in the live broadcast room outside the dungeon, but they already had the answer to the first question.

[I really laughed to death. The state of these sharks was not right at first glance, and thinking about Kai's godhood that could confuse people, I boldly concluded that this must be Kai's revenge! Now who agrees and who opposes? ! ]

[No one will oppose you. Because Kai is in the commentary booth, controlling the sharks in front of all of us. Then again, when Dong Jin was watching Lei Ming being bitten by a shark, was he discovered by Lei Ming? With Lei Ming's murderous state, wouldn't he be in trouble? ］

［Brother Jin, my brother Jin! They are fighting like gods, why do you always get hurt in the end? ］

At this moment, some people on the screen are watching the show with schadenfreude, while others are worried about him with real feelings.

And Dong Jin, who was targeted for murder because he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, is already thinking about whether to run away.
