Escape from Paradise (Twenty-One)
At 5:30 p.m., the escaped bird in the dark sky above the paradise was finally captured.
On the second floor of a nearby store in a remote area of the Fourth Ring Road.
"How many times do you need me to repeat it? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
Xu Weizheng slammed the table and argued with the park staff: "I told you, I was about to recite the spell to pass the level, but this guy suddenly broke the chain and rushed out to attack me! My life was almost gone, so how could I care about whether I could pass the level or not? I could only beat it with all my might, and while I was beating it, it rode on my head. Do you have any opinion?"
"Or do you think I can't defeat it with my strength?"
The person who spoke to her was the person in charge of the Fourth Ring who had just been sent by the higher-ups. He was a short man with a mustache. His face was gloomy. “It’s impossible for it to break the chain by itself…”
"Yes, speaking of this, I still have to let you take responsibility," Xu Wei said as a matter of course, glaring at him, "The chain was mostly broken by the female giant who broke in. The two of them chased the tourists together, and we had no choice but to resist. After all this, the chain broke, didn't it?"
"Shouldn't you blame yourselves? Why don't you explain why the boss of the second level chased you to the third level? This is a mistake in your game project! A major mistake! Where is the complaint channel? I want to complain to the director!"
Mentioning the director, the man with the mustache looked even gloomier: "About you riding a bird and damaging one of the five major attractions in our park, the copper coin..."
"Oh? Oh, oh, oh? Are you blaming us?" Xu Wei said sarcastically, crossing his arms and sneering, "Who am I talking about? If you don't know, you might think some scam group has come out... It's obviously your amusement facilities that have problems, but you call it a free experience, but in fact you just let tourists make mistakes! You put the blame on tourists for irreversible consequences caused by mistakes. Are you taking all the good things?"
She slammed the table again, causing it to shake and the pen on the document to roll to the ground. "I'm telling you, if you insist on pushing the blame on us for what happened today, I'll stick with you to the end. Anyway, I've done my job and didn't beat up any of your people. This is a good opportunity to see why you're putting the blame on the tourists!"
"I'm also going to tell all my friends to tell all the tourists how the authorities handled the serious mistake. Anyway, so many people just saw me flying in the sky... I'm also going to find the director to report you..."
She chattered on and on, as if she were listing off the ten sins of the staff.
"Enough!" The man with the mustache roared, his chest heaving, obviously very angry, but his momentum was a little weaker when he spoke, "There's no need to make such a big fuss about this. You really caused us huge losses. Pay..."
"Compensation?" Xu Wei interrupted. "Okay, I don't ask for much. In addition to the Paradise Coins, give me three white stars. Oh, and the 100 yuan and white stars you get for clearing the game can't be less. If you get less, I'll continue to complain."
The currency used by players in the park is called park coins, which are different from the banknotes circulated by ordinary tourists. Therefore, players cannot obtain coins by smashing cash registers at night. Xu Wei had to try all five major projects.
Now that it's time for her to deal with her old job - negotiating compensation, she'll have to make them bleed a lot.
"You..." The man with the moustache was almost standing up in anger, his pupils dilated, and his fangs were faintly visible in his mouth, but he finally endured it stubbornly.
"Let me guess? You can't attack me during the day? Or you just can't beat me at all?" Seeing him so angry, Xu Wei felt so happy that he could hardly suppress his smile. "Whatever you say, I'll wait for you to do anything. Anyway, I just want to complain! By the way, are you afraid that I will report to the director? The kind that unites all the players? I heard that there is a strict classification between creatures like you, and the low-level ones dare not disobey the high-level ones?"
The man with the mustache dug his nails into his hands and breathed rapidly, looking like he was about to reveal his true form due to anger.
"Captain Huan, how about..." The uniformed follower next to him stammered and pulled his sleeve.
“Crack.”
In a rage, the man with a mustache broke off the follower's head, threw it on the ground, and began to gnaw on the corpse. The other guards who followed him all showed greedy expressions when they smelled the bloody smell in front of them.
The man with a mustache ate in a wild manner, eating raw meat and drinking blood, like a primitive man from old times. While eating, he looked at Xu Wei, trying to see fear on her face.
Xu Wei leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, kicking the cracks in the floor out of boredom.
Learn to act like a cool sister like Fu Fenglou.
"Have you finished eating? You only ate this little. Your appetite isn't very good. Are you full?" Seeing the mustache looking at her, she tilted her head with concern, "Take care of yourself. Although work is important, you still have to pay attention to your diet. You can't just pick up garbage and eat it anywhere."
“Kaalaala…”
The corpse's bones were shattered into pieces in the hands of the man with the mustache.
"It's still quite energetic." Xu Wei smiled.
"So what about the compensation? Should I pay it in person or where can I get it?"
*
Fu Fenglou was waiting at the office door when someone patted him on the shoulder.
"Xiaolou, how long have you been waiting?" Xu Wei was in a good mood and pinched her face. "Oh... you made me dry-mouthed."
Fu Fenglou held his sword horizontally: "Did they embarrass you?"
"Uh... yes, and they looked sour. If you don't know, you might think I owe them money. Eh - no need to go, no need to go..." Xu Wei hurriedly grabbed Fu Fenglou who was about to threaten with force, "I've already done it. They compensated me with something."
She turned to look at Lu Fanye: "Does this scene look familiar to you?"
Lu Fanye held the three white stars, nodded silently, and blurted out: "Very professional."
The lion was so professional that he asked for a total of four white stars and five thousand paradise coins as compensation. In the end, both sides kept haggling and bargaining, and finally he succeeded in obtaining three white stars and one thousand one hundred paradise coins as compensation.
Dream back to the Judgment Hotel.
Fu Fenglou was puzzled: "Why would they compensate you? Don't ghosts... wish the players would die?"
Xu Wei nodded: "Yes, he really wanted to kill me at the beginning. The documents were full of unreasonable clauses such as 'stay and work for the park, play more than a dozen projects'. I would not agree to it."
"These guys are typical bullies. They couldn't beat us so they started with the park rules. Unfortunately, I didn't hit any staff members or violate the nameplate rules, so they couldn't catch me. He was ready to make a specious argument, but I said I would file a complaint against the director and he shut him down."
"Do you know where the director is?"
Xu Wei grinned and shook his head: "I don't know, but I have a basic understanding of their rules."
She repeated her guess to Fu Fenglou.
From the swimming pool copy, she discovered that although the ghosts were very malicious towards the players, they were also quite malicious towards each other.
Maybe it's because they are domineering by nature and keen on devouring each other, and high-level monsters have extremely strong suppressive power over weak monsters, such as Jiawang to Swollen Eyes - during the award ceremony, Jiawang glanced at the surviving players, scaring Swollen Eyes so much that he trembled constantly, and tried to find ways to make amends for himself, so he tore off Lao Fang's bandage.
Just now she proposed to complain to the director. Although his moustache was not noticeable, he actually gave up on destroying the buildings and wanted to demonstrate to her by killing his subordinates, which actually confirmed her guess.
He could dispose of his subordinates at will because he was angry, so why couldn't the director just kill him? There were many ghosts in the park who could be promoted.
"That's good, this way you won't be short of money," Fu Fenglou hung the knife back on his back, thought for a moment, and reminded, "Sister, don't take risks in doing this kind of thing in the future. After all, not every blackmail can succeed."
Her concern didn't seem fake.
Xu Wei was startled, then she rubbed her blue head with a loving expression: "I know, I will pay attention next time. This is a special case."
After getting the copper coin grass, she dealt with the still-living He Yu and the man with the broken hand and returned to the original place. The female giant was eventually killed by the twelve-headed bird, and everything returned to peace. She wanted to end the game by reciting "Deep Space is Coming" three times as the electronic voice said.
But somehow, when she finished reading it for the first time, she felt the atmosphere suddenly become serious. An unknown chill crept up her spine and her scalp became numb.
I loosened my hand unconsciously, and the pennywort fell to the ground. I heard a torrent of mumbling sounds, vague, hoarse but deafening, as if countless abnormal voices were trying to speak, making my entire brain a mess.
According to Lu Fanye, the black in her pupils began to spread to the whites of her eyes, and her whole body fell into an expressionless yet inexplicably crazy state.
It seemed as if countless eyes opened simultaneously in the darkness, staring at her intently. With dreamlike mumbling and a chill all over her body, she knelt down, unconsciously scooped up the blood on the ground, wanting to drink it.
"Deep space..."
Lu Fanye covered her mouth.
After barely waking up a little, Xu Wei got up and slapped himself three times.
The last level of this project is the most malicious setting. All those who entered before were tourists. They were the clones of "it". Saying such a spell had no effect, but it was different for the players. This seemed to be some kind of summoning ritual. Once all three sentences were recited, I'm afraid something incredible would come.
At least, judging from the experience brought by the first sentence, it is not a problem that can be solved at present.
Then we can only consider unconventional methods.
Xu Wei looked at the big bird that was lying on the ground eating the giantess's corpse.
Unlike the female giant who can kill with her hands before eating, the big bird does not have flexible hands, has a very long neck, has many heads and is prone to disagreements. Its only means of attack so far are pecking with its beak and fanning, so it is easily subdued by the two of them working together.
With the help of radio gymnastics, Xu Wei even almost tied several of its necks into a knot.
The big bird looks like a copy creature, and also somewhat like an interstellar creature with a tiger head, but unfortunately, its rationality as an intelligent life has completely disappeared, and only the instinctive fear of stronger people remains in its bones.
Xu Wei then rode on the head in the middle, while the other heads stretched their necks and spontaneously moved away from the radio gymnastics that was playing in a loop, not daring to express any opinions at all.
As for the chain, it took many attempts to cut it open, all thanks to Xu Wei's old friend, the card effect of the martial arts master - the strength of the card holder is determined by the opponent.
"You were flying in the sky on a bird, with a group of NPCs chasing you from below, and yet nothing happened in the end. You're really amazing, third brother." Li Xia started talking in a mean way as soon as he arrived.
He looked a little tired, as if he had hurried here from far away, and he didn't even notice a leaf falling on his head.
Xu Wei said coldly: "Where did you go to do bad things again?"
