Hunting the world.
All the players have left. How could it be possible that some teams would stay and challenge Bai Zhi, an NPC that none of them could defeat in a round-robin battle?
She didn't kill them, so they saved their lives and quickly ran away, each one running faster than the other.
Some of the spectators followed the players out, while others stayed to continue watching. Their attitudes varied greatly, and they were divided into good and bad groups.
Part of it is excitement—
"Ahhh, so cool!"
"I was impressed by the handsomeness of an NPC. Her strength is too strong!"
"Even a round-robin battle couldn't defeat her, this must be the final boss!"
"Hahaha, she truly lives up to her title of 'Hunting the World's Thanos'. I really like her, King of Force."
"And she doesn't kill the players, that's so cool!"
…
There is also a larger group of people who are very dissatisfied and have strong opinions -
"Her strength is truly terrifying, so terrifying that she shouldn't exist."
"I've always thought she shouldn't be on the leaderboard. Although it's a world of consciousness, it's still essentially a game. The NPCs are all directly controlled by the consciousness department, and they can use cheats. And asking players to compete with them? Isn't that bullying?"
"Yeah, why did the Awareness Department set up such a powerful NPC? They can't even defeat them in a round-robin battle, so they definitely won't be able to defeat them in the future. Is that fair?"
"They've never been able to defeat Bei Baizhi, the NPC backed by the Consciousness Department. Does that mean she's the King of Hunting?"
"If you want to play, play fair. Why is Hunting World doing this? Are they putting a cheat here just to prevent players from winning?"
"If that's the case, why not just start hunting the world in the first place? These contestants spent so much time in the world hunting, not to lose to an NPC!"
"It's unfair! I feel really bad for these players. If the awareness department hadn't given Bei Baizhi a cheat, how could she be so pretentious?"
"I oppose the NPC being on the list! I oppose Bei Baizhi!"
…
Sandwiched between these two groups of people is another group——
"By the way...didn't anyone notice that Bei Baizhi accepted everyone as his disciple and granted them eternal life?"
"Fuck, I think I thought of someone..."
"I thought of that too! That person has died several times!!"
"Holy crap! Isn't this too psychedelic? Does the hunting world give NPCs so much power?"
…
The players discussed the issue heatedly, with the majority expressing dissatisfaction with the Consciousness Department and NPC Bei Baizhi.
They felt that Baizhi should not have such powerful strength given by the hunting world, and that the consciousness department created an NPC like Baizhi to bully people. Their voices were the loudest and almost became the mainstream voice.
Only a small number of people were excited, and an even smaller number were those who noticed that Bai Zhi accepted disciples and granted eternal life.
There are too few such people, and they do not stand out at all among the voices condemning the consciousness department and the hunting world.
So much so that at this moment, the barrage seemed to have only one voice - dissatisfaction with the strength of NPC Bei Baizhi.
While they were discussing heatedly, Bai Zhi calmly directed the NPCs to clean up the surroundings, stimulate the trees to sprout again, and cultivate tender green grass in the grassland again.
After everything was done, she waved her hand, and all the NPCs that came from all over returned to their respective places.
Outside the wooden house, everything was quiet.
She made herself a cup of tea, sat on the recliner, squinted her eyes, and looked comfortable.
444 couldn't help but ask, "Why are you giving them control again? You could have taken over this world long ago. I don't believe they can take control away from you..."
The consciousness technology of this world is quite powerful, even Bai Zhi was amazed by it.
But obviously, it was not difficult for her to figure it out. Not to mention that she had already done research in this area, even if she knew nothing, she could do better and more powerful than them after her research.
The control power is in her hands, no one can take it away!
It’s not that those experts are not powerful, but that this devil is too terrifying!
She was an old monster who had studied the sciences of various dimensions for thousands of years, traveled through countless worlds, and stayed in the immortal cultivation plane for thousands of years...
She is countless times more terrifying than when 444 first bound her!
So 444 never thought that those experts could take control away from her, she could only have given it to them on purpose.
In his mind, Bai Zhi's voice rang out lazily: "444, you've become smarter."
444: "..." For a moment, I didn't know whether I was praising it?
Bai Zhi said calmly, "I gave it to them on purpose. Let them do it. I never did anything. I just honestly played my role as an NPC."
444: “…”
Are you honest? ?
Honest: Are you polite?
"Am I not honest? They put me in an NPC role, so I will be an NPC. They asked me to accept disciples and bestow divine weapons upon them, so I will accept disciples and bestow upon them things better than divine weapons..."
She chuckled softly, her voice low and deep, and that laugh made 444 feel creepy.
She continued, "I didn't do anything, so no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with me."
444 blinked his non-existent eyes and fell into deep thought.
She spoke very innocently, but 444 didn't think she was innocent at all!
——This guy always kills people without paying for it!
After a while, as if realizing something, 444 widened his eyes and raised his voice: "You want them to do something they'll regret?!"
Bai Zhi's voice was lazy and gentle: "Yes, I gave them the control and lured them into taking the bait. It depends on whether they are so stupid..."
444: "..." You would do this because you are certain that they will do what you want!
Are you still going to take the bait?
No need to think, the fish has probably already bitten.
444 thinks he knows this devil very well!
Sure enough, Bai Zhi seemed to sense something, and suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, her eyes bright—
"It seems that I didn't underestimate these people at all. They are indeed stupid."
Yichen team.
They were quite lucky to have escaped death again. You know, this time not only were they safe, they didn't even lose any equipment!
The team members calmed down and immediately started discussing -
"Today I finally realized how strong Bei Baizhi is. When we fought her before, I thought she was unfathomable. And it turns out to be true. Her health bar is so long!"
"I was stunned when I saw the health bar."
"Me too, haha. When I saw so many NPCs surrounding me, I thought my day was over. Luckily, it's not over yet!"
"What does it mean for her to accept a disciple? And what is 'Eternal Life in the Hunting World'?"
"I don't know."
…
Yi Chen had been sitting next to him, appearing quite silent.
Someone asked him, "Boss, what are you thinking about? Why are you so quiet?"
Yi Chen pursed his lips: "I was thinking about eternal life and infinite cycles..."
A person suddenly flashed through his mind - Zhuo Yi.
He has been killed by them twice, but he is still alive!
"Are you talking about the gift she gave us to become our disciple? I don't think it's anything special. Eternal life, is she making us immortal? Is there such a good thing?" The strange beast touched its chin.
The magician thought for a moment and said, "If Bei Baizhi remains this strong, we will never be able to win this game. It would be a waste of our emotions if we continue."
Mech Warrior: "Yeah, she's unreasonably strong. Is there something wrong with the Awareness Department's setting?"
Strange Beast: "By the way, is it possible for us to defeat her in the future?"
The magician shook his head: "Impossible, unless all of our combat power is greatly improved, or her combat power is greatly reduced!"
Witch: "As long as the points we earn can be increased, our combat effectiveness can be improved."
Several people continued to discuss.
Yi Chen frowned slightly, his eyes filled with inexplicable fear. He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Maybe I'm wrong. I just feel like something's not right. This isn't a good thing..."
"Why do you say that?" someone asked in surprise.
Yi Chen frowned, looking confused, as if he had no idea how to explain it.
It was a feeling, like something flashed through my mind, but I couldn't grasp it.
Just as he was struggling and the other team members were looking at him in confusion...
Suddenly, all of them received news from the Hunting World—
[From now on, the points earned by contestants hunting each other will be increased twentyfold, and the chance of equipment drops will increase by fifty percent.]
The points earned from hunting each other increased twenty times?!
This is too exaggerated!
The equipment drop probability was originally 50%. If it were increased by 50%, wouldn't that mean that as long as they hunt each other... they would have a 100% chance of getting equipment drops?!
——Is this encouraging players to start hunting each other now?
Witch: "I just said that unless our points are greatly increased, we can't beat Bei Baizhi, and now they increase our points? Haha."
The strange beast's eyes lit up, and it rubbed its hands in anticipation: "Then if we just kill more contestants, can we get more and more points, and then go kill Bei Baizhi?"
Mech Warrior: "Hey, I told you, she's so powerful. How can I possibly beat her if she doesn't give me more points?"
Of course they didn't beat Bei Baizhi not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't beat her!
If they had the fighting power to defeat NPC Bei Baizhi, would they not take action?
How is that possible!
Everyone rubbed their hands in anticipation at the thought of the possibility of defeating Bei Baizhi.
Yi Chen's expression suddenly changed.
He stood up suddenly: "I understand what's wrong, I understand!"
Everyone looked at him, bewildered: "What?"
Yi Chen's eyes were filled with fear. He closed them to prevent the fear in his eyes from frightening others. His voice trembled.
"I think immortality in the hunting world means that we will be resurrected immediately after death, just like Zhuo Yi. I absolutely don't believe that he has two pieces of equipment that can resurrect!"
"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.
Yi Chen opened his eyes and looked at them, his voice trembling more and more: "Think about it, we are reincarnated in the hunting world, which means we can't leave the hunting world. It's impossible for us to return to reality! Combined with the notice just now... This is forcing us to reincarnate in the hunting world and fight each other again and again..."
"Impossible! How can we not be separated from the hunting world?! There can't be such a bug in the consciousness department!" The strange beast didn't believe it.
Yi Chen suddenly raised his foot, leaving only one sentence -
"Looking for Zhuo Yi!"
Everyone gritted their teeth and hurried to follow.
Zhuo Yi was hiding in a place in a daze.
When he saw them find him, he subconsciously wanted to run.
Even if you know you can be resurrected, how can death be a pleasant experience?
The strange beast pounced on him and pinned him down: "Roar——"
"Ahhhh!" Zhuo Yi screamed.
Yi Chenjian said to him, "Let me ask you, were you granted 'eternal life in the hunting world' by Bei Baizhi from the beginning? What does that mean?"
Hearing this question, Zhuo Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became terrified: "Devil! She is a devil. I don't want eternal life. I want to leave this world. Let me go!"
He began to struggle desperately.
Yi Chen said nothing, and just swung his sword down, fast and fierce.
Zhuo Yi died and his body gradually disappeared.
The others stared at Yi Chen in amazement.
Yi Chen took a deep breath and looked at the witch: "Find Zhuo Yi!"
So, a day later, they found Zhuo Yi hiding in another place.
"Ah——" As soon as he saw them, he screamed and turned around to run for his life.
This time, they didn't chase him.
Quiet.
Extreme quietness.
The sword in Yi Chen's hand fell to the ground. He squatted down and looked at the lawn without saying a word, as if his whole body had merged with the lawn, motionless.
It took a long time for others to take action...
The magician looked at him and said, "Boss... The Consciousness Department can't let us reincarnate forever. There are tens of millions of people in here, and countless viewers are watching. They don't dare!"
Yi Chen spoke hoarsely after a long pause, "What if something went wrong and they couldn't do anything about it? Or maybe there was something wrong with them... Otherwise, how could they increase the points of players fighting each other?"
Everyone was stunned and speechless.
The normally arrogant beast said helplessly, "Boss, Boss...what should we do then?"
Yi Chen raised his eyes, his gaze tinged with red: "Murder!"
"What?" The others were stunned.
"Kill people, kill many people, accumulate points, and make us invincible!"
Yi Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Before the problems in the hunting world are solved, we must make sure that no one can kill us. Otherwise... if we die once, we will become weak, just like Zhuo Yi!"
Thinking of being like Zhuo Yi...
Everyone shuddered.
Like Zhuo Yi, he was killed again and again!
Every death will weaken their strength. Once they die, they will become weaker when they reincarnate again.
As for the weak, there is only endless death in this hunting world where everyone desperately tries to accumulate points for fear of becoming weak!
If you don’t want to die endlessly, you have to work hard to accumulate points and kill people.
And there are countless people who think like them.
They are caught in a cycle of horror!
——This world is about to become a world of mutual slaughter.
Everyone shuddered, holding their weapons in fear and terror.
The audience following Yi Chen's team was stunned for a long time, then exploded -
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"How could Yi Chen's guess be correct? Isn't that just torturing the contestants?"
"Yes, the conscious world would never do such a thing!"
"But... Zhuo Yi is real. He really has been reborn."
"I'm going to check on other teams to see if everyone who dies has to be reborn!"
…
So they rushed to various places to continue watching.
The hunting world is a world where everyone fights, but that kind of fighting means that after death, you return to reality. The winner in it is just someone who keeps killing others!
The essence of the existence of this hunting world is to relieve stress.
If everyone were immortal, then everyone would be trapped in a cycle of killing and being killed countless times!
That's not stress relief, that's torture!
Someone ran towards the other contestants, and then they saw——
Because of the notification just sent by the system, some players wanted to take the initiative and kill people to win points.
As a result, some unsuspecting players were killed.
They quickly switched followers and continued watching from the dead player's perspective.
——They did not see the notification that the player had lost and left the hunting world, but instead resurrected with him.
Audience: “!!!”
The resurrected player was stunned for a long time, and then thought of something and said in surprise -
"Is it true that Bei Baizhi accepted a disciple?! Can he really achieve immortality? Then can I go and get revenge? Damn it, you bastard, how dare you harm Grandpa? I'll teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, the man rushed out with all the equipment that had not been dropped.
The netizens who were watching at the moment wanted to rush in and wake them up——
"Calm down, you guys can be reborn, and so can others!!"
"Why would you kill so impulsively? And if you want revenge, fine. But why are you secretly killing other innocent people?!"
"He killed you, you killed her, and she killed him. You're all trapped in a nightmare!"
"Ahhh, you're going to end up in a terrible cycle like this!!"
…
The audience was extremely anxious, but these people had actually thought of it.
But they are all people in the hunting world, and they also have to consider—
What if I don’t take action while others keep taking action?
Doesn't that mean that everyone else has become strong, but I am still weak and anyone can kill me?
——Compared to being the fish on the chopping board, obviously everyone wants to be the one holding the knife.
From Bai Zhi's victory and the granting of eternal life, to Zhou Ming's request that they change the rules and issue an order to increase the points by twenty times.
From the audience being dissatisfied with the NPC being too strong, to the players discovering that they can be resurrected and start fighting.
From the players of the hunting world and the audience in the real world who were dissatisfied, to their faces filled with fear...
It seemed like no time had passed at all!
It seems like just a moment!
Zhou Ming and the others who were constantly watching the Hunting World noticed it immediately. He saw the players resurrected and saw how terrified they all were. He cursed the Hunting World and the Awareness Department...
He covered his chest, feeling a little breathless.
"Zhou Ming!!" Liu Sun roared, and then he rushed in.
His eyes, spitting fire, stared at Zhou Ming intently: "Are you crazy?! Why did you issue an order to hunt down players and earn twenty times the points?! What the hell were you thinking, you idiot?!"
Zhou Ming stammered, "I, I, I... I just want to increase their points so that I can kill them..."
"Shut up!" Liu Sun roared.
If there were no infinite reincarnation, if they could really kill Bei Baizhi, Zhou Ming's actions would be an appropriate choice given his situation, and Liu Sun would not be so angry, at least not in his heart.
But with the "eternal life of the hunting world", his order simply added fuel to the fire and was extremely stupid!
Liu Sun could no longer care about him and turned to order the technicians -
"Quickly withdraw the previous notice. No, no, first cancel Bei Baizhi's 'Eternal Life in the Hunting World'. We absolutely cannot allow people to be resurrected continuously!"
He tried his best to keep his head clear to deal with the aftermath.
This is a big problem. Now that it has come to this, it is no longer a matter of whether Zhou Ming can save his life, but whether Liu Sun can also have a good end! !
——Bei Baizhi was the only one left in there, and the citizens were making a fuss. Perhaps sending out Zhou Ming could calm their anger.
But there are tens of millions of people in there now!
Who knows how many of them are their relatives and friends. Seeing them being killed again and again in there, how can Zhou Ming calm the anger of the contestants and these people?
The Empire and the Consciousness Department are both targets of venting anger.
He, the person in charge, will also be doomed!
Liu Sun grabbed his head and urged them on.
However, when Zhao Ping'an, Chen Gang and others went to operate, their faces all changed.
At that moment, Liu Sun had a strong sense of foreboding.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Everyone was silent and didn't dare to speak.
Liu Sun roared: "Speak!"
Zhao Ping'an's voice trembled: "Hunting, hunting, hunting world... It's out of control again! We, we can't control it..."
