Chapter 158 Earning 90 Million in a Week 22
"Compliments?" He read out the host ID flashing on the screen and searched in his mind to confirm that it was the first time he heard this name.
He was about to accept the PK invitation, but realized that it was inappropriate.
"Ahhhh, you're out again!"
"Who is the Inquisitor going to hit this time?"
"We've already knocked out Mom, so let's just go all in and challenge the front row from previous years! Go, go, go—"
…
This was his second PK match after beating his mother, so his opponent couldn't be too bad. Jiang Yuelu wasn't worried about making any mistakes, but he was worried that the compliment wasn't very attractive.
"Tang Ze, I suddenly understand your disgust that day."
Tang Ze: “?”
Jiang Yuelu glanced at Gaomao's number of fans and said, "It's really boring to eat this four-dollar ghost."
Tang Ze: “…”
"Everyone." He typed on the Corpse Society's public screen, "Have you ever heard of flattery?"
"He's not a big streamer, and he doesn't really play PK. He seems to be in an organization with a weird name, what's it called...ah, Linya City Co., Ltd."
"Limited liability company?" Jiang Yuelu didn't expect to hear this word in the ghost city.
Ximujin's voice interrupted. He seemed to have laid down to rest, and he looked particularly leisurely. "Their PK method is different from ours. It is strictly formulated according to the assembly line, so it is called this name."
"I don't quite understand."
"Let me put it this way. Have you ever seen a game commentator when you were alive? Gao Maozi and his men are like commentators, commentating on those fiercely competitive PKs. In the last game, he commented on our team battle. By the way, I also bet two million in his pool, and I bet it all on you."
Jiang Yuelu nodded, "Oh."
“…”
"I'm all on you!!!"
Jiang Yuelu still: "Ah, thank you."
Ximujin was so angry that he laughed, "Two million, just a thank you?"
“Is two million a lot?”
As soon as he said this, all the members of the Corpse Society except Tang Ze took a deep breath. Ximujin also calmed down after a long time, "...Forget it, you are qualified to say that. Who told you that you are so rich? You are like crazy, giving out 5 million in rewards. Seriously, who is this little girl?"
Like the anchor, the wealthy top brothers and sisters will also become famous in Linya City. But Ximujin had no impression of this young girl, she seemed to have suddenly appeared in this class.
Jiang Yuelu exchanged for a special effect of slapping in the air, and slapped Ximujin several times through the screen.
"Don't touch my people."
“…Ugh, we’re really going to rebel!!”
"I don't have time to argue with you. Tell me Gao Maozi's background quickly. I'm going to compete with him soon."
Ximujin stopped struggling, and with two red palm prints, he asked in confusion: "Why do we want to PK with you? Gao Maozi and his team always find people within the company to PK. Their real live broadcast content is not PK but commentary. PK is just a formality and has never been used."
Jiang Yuelu lost her patience, "How should I know?"
"Hmm..." Ximujin pondered for a moment, "If I remember correctly, this seems to be the first time Gao Maozi has connected with someone outside the company."
"Ah? That's fine."
"Huh?? Anything will do."
Jiang Yuelu said before switching off the public screen: "I know what gimmick you're going to come up with."
Back in his own live broadcast room, Gao Maozi was still persistently requesting a PK, but Jiang Yuelu ignored him and changed the text of his own live broadcast room to: Shocked, the Inquisitor actually started a PK with him after finishing the team battle with his mother - Gao Maozi's first PK, declaring war on the Inquisitor in a high-profile manner!
"very nice."
After writing, he put on the painful black armor again and clicked on the message from Gao Hat.
Between accepting and rejecting the PK request, he chose the former and pressed it hard.
"Who is Gao Hat? I've never heard of him."
"Why would the main contractor be so desperate to compete with an unknown person? Is this a task assigned by the Corpse to you to help the younger generation? [Funny]"
"I see. The flattery came in through the back door."
"Pass it on, Gaomao and the corpse will have a shady deal."
…
The comments became more and more outrageous, and finally became "Pass it on, Gao Hat is Ximujin's long-lost first love, and he even gave him two million when he came on stage."
I just connected and saw the compliments from the comments: “…………”
He coughed lightly and took off his hat to salute the judge. "Hello, I have heard a lot about you. I am Gao Mao from Linya City Co., Ltd. You can just call me Xiao Gao."
The Inquisitor stared at him: "You don't seem to be here to fight me."
Someone who really wants to fight to the death will not come up and call himself Xiao Gao in fear and trepidation. In the moment of confrontation, exposing weaknesses is a taboo.
Gao Maozi said straightforwardly: "Yes, I am here to discuss something else with you, Judge. Of course, I will strictly follow the rules of PK."
"A life-and-death game?"
Gao Hat was ashamed, "No, that's not it. I'm not as strong as you, so I won't choose to fight you in the same way as Tang Ze. But there are more ways to fight than just taking lives. In this paper money competition, there is another popular way to play, called greed for money."
Greed for money kills.
As the name suggests, it includes two mainstream gameplays.
"You have seen the deadly gameplay and demonstrated it perfectly to everyone. You are an expert in this area. I know I can't beat you."
Gao Hat explained clearly, as if he had thought about this in his mind ten thousand times, "But you haven't seen how greedy people play games, have you?"
"In this way of playing, we are not enemies, but more like comrades. We will set a number together and win this goal in this PK. If we win, it is a win-win situation, and if we lose, it is a lose-lose situation."
Simply put, the greed mode is to launch a general attack towards the set wealth value.
If they vowed to reach 8 million before the start, they must do their best to reach it in this PK, otherwise they will be punished. However, the punishment of the greedy mode will not be more severe than the life-threatening mode. It is precisely because of this that the greedy mode has always been less attractive than the latter.
In PK, risk is linked to benefit.
Low risk means it is very safe, but conversely, the benefits are not that great.
Although high risks may cost your life, they can also bring huge benefits.
There is never a shortage of gamblers in Linya City.
After thinking it over, Jiang Yuelu lost interest. "No interest—"
"My target amount in this game is - 20 million!"
? !
Jiang Yuelu sat up straight abruptly.
…
"Twenty million?!"
"Did I hear that wrong?!"
"I really don't want to send exclamation marks anymore!! But the Inquisitor's livestream is like a poisonous place and every time I can only say WTF is it even possible?!?!"
…
"You..." Jiang Yuelu tried her best to calm down, "Tell me what you have to say."
"Okay. Please wait a moment." The man in the top hat sat upright and took out a thick notebook. If someone could look down at the notebook, they would see that the first line of words had yellowed marks from years of age, as if it was written a long time ago.
——"Linya City Anchor Investigation Record"
"Before we begin, I need to explain to you the anchor ecosystem of Linya City. Believe me, this is very important for the implementation of the next plan, and you won't waste your time."
Gao Maozi knows clearly how much these big anchors value their time. Here, time is life.
The Inquisitor agreed, "Yes."
Top Hat said in surprise: "Okay!"
Oh my God...he almost burst into tears.
"Among the hosts in Linya City, there are many evil spirits who hold deep hatreds like Tang Ze. If you can comfort Tang Ze, then you can definitely comfort them. This is my plan!"
Gao Maozi excitedly raised the notebook in his hand. If his colleagues saw it, they would definitely exclaim, "Why did Gao Maozi take out his precious thing again?" Every page of the notebook became thicker due to the densely packed records, and the actual thickness was much thicker than when it was new.
"I have recorded the names of those evil spirits here. Their hearts are filled with regret and pain. Their obsession makes them linger around. Every live broadcast room is filled with roars and struggles, but—"
"Your presence here will calm their screaming hearts."
He deliberately did not tempt the judge with 20 million, but chose a more noble description out of respect for his status. After saying this, Gaomao stared at the other side closely, not missing any small movements, but the judge wrapped in black armor did not say a word.
Cold sweat dripped down his spine.
"You." The Inquisitor did not move. "How many anchors have you said similar things to? Don't try to deceive me. I can tell the truth from lies."
The top hat lowered his head, "... only you."
"real?"
"Yes. You are the only one..."
His voice was much weaker than before, and this performance made the barrage begin to doubt.
"He's lying to the Inquisitor?"
"What is he feeling guilty about? Look up."
"If you do this, people will be even less likely to believe you... You don't even believe yourself."
…
"You shouldn't bow your head and flatter your comrades when you invite them. If you do, I will doubt the credibility of your words."
Under the pressure of the judge and the suspicion of the barrage, Gaomao gritted his teeth, lowered his head and suddenly said loudly: "It's really only you, because... because..."
“Because no one believes me!!!”
He gasped, staring at the notes he treasured.
"You are definitely not the only anchor I have looked for."
"At first it was PK, but I was always laughed at. Later I stopped showing up in public, but even in private messages, they would laugh at me and think it was impossible."
"How can the greedy mode possibly beat the life-stealing mode?"
"In this city, countless anchors have taken the lead and paved a bloody road to victory. They have proved with their own practice that the strongest one is the one who kills. Then the newcomers only need to choose the same model. Following this path taken by their predecessors, there will definitely be a chance of winning."
"As for the weedy road next to it that no one has ever walked on, there is no chance of winning, so don't even pay attention to it."
"But I've observed the anchors for so many years, and I know each of their shortcomings and strengths. No two are the same. But——"
"But they, including me, have one thing in common—"
"We are ghosts, and we exist here because of the resentment that cannot be dissipated. So why not take advantage of this huge resentment? I believe there must be huge business opportunities hidden here that have not been discovered. This is the first pot of gold!"
Gao Hat didn't care whether the other party thought his words were ridiculous or not. He just wanted to say it all out today. Even if he failed, he would accept it!
"But every time, every time, before I even got to the point, they started to laugh at me, thinking I was dreaming. I really wasn't lying to you. This is the first time someone listened to me to the end. This is the first time in all these years that I have the opportunity to pick up my notebook and introduce my plan..."
Gao Maozi felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his tears falling onto the paper. "I, I just want to walk a path that no one has walked before, why is it so difficult?"
"I promise."
"Resentment can be used. Why don't you believe it? I just... eh?"
Gao Maozi raised his head, his face covered with tears but unable to hide his surprise, "What?"
"I promise."
“…”
Gao Maozi carefully confirmed, "You are not talking nonsense because you were struck by lightning? You know what I mean is to choose the greed mode. We want to use the greed mode to win the 20 million instead of taking lives..."
The judge said impatiently, "I know, stop talking nonsense. I said I promised you."
“I prefer the road that has not been trodden to the road that has been trodden.”
The surprise came too suddenly, and the compliment was stunned.
Judge: "Why are you standing there?"
"I don't know... I've prepared a lot of words to convince you, and even prepared Plan A to Plan H... but you just agreed to me so easily. I don't know what to say..."
"How about I take it back and you calm down?"
“No, no, no, no, no, no.” He shook his head like a rattle, and his hat kept tap dancing on top of his head, which made Jiang Yuelu very amused. “Forget it, let me ask you something.”
Tall Hat straightened up and said, "You say!"
"Do you really have all the anchors recorded in this notebook?"
"Yes, I promise!"
"Every year, every PK, every anchor, I have recorded it. I dare say that as long as they are in this city, I can find them!"
"That's great." Jiang Yuelu nodded, "I don't have any more questions. Let's get started."
"……good!"
Gao Maozi acted quickly, rubbing his hands and planning to do something big. He soon found the list of anchors he had written down and gave it to the judge first. "These people will definitely seek revenge. They have someone they hate very much. As long as you can find them and I negotiate with them, they will definitely give back the rewards they have received over the years."
Jiang Yuelu wrote down these names, "Revenge One, Revenge Two, Revenge Three..."
In his eyes, they have all become, "One million, two million, three million..."
He coughed lightly and called out, "Xia Yi?"
The answer was quick, "Why?"
"It's time to work."
