Chapter 34 Are you a player or an NPC?
The White Cat host glanced at the players present, constantly challenging their psychological bottom line.
Five hundred million, even if divided equally among the hundreds of people here, that would be several million.
They can get the wealth that ordinary people cannot spend in several lifetimes as long as they kill Si Yao.
And it doesn't cost anything.
The players were all a little crazy because of the words of the White Cat host, so they didn't notice that Zhen Jinli had also sneaked in.
Listening to the words of the White Cat host, Zhen Jinli's thoughts couldn't help but become a little confused.
Aren’t the conditions for obtaining points in survival games saving people and killing monsters?
But this Si Yao in front of him is clearly a human, isn't he?
Killing him will earn you high points. Isn't this the same as when she was wanted in the survival game?
The White Cat host continued to increase the intensity of temptation.
"Come on, as long as you kill him, you can collect enough points to leave Gordon City! And you can also live comfortably for the rest of your lives!"
"The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you, what are you waiting for?"
The players completely let go of their moral baggage and threw the rotten eggs and tomatoes they had just exchanged at Si Yao, occasionally with a few hard stones.
Snap——
The rope in mid-air suddenly broke, as if someone had cut it.
The next second, Si Yao disappeared without a trace in front of everyone.
Perhaps it was out of sympathy, or perhaps it was out of a desire to find out the truth about the Goton Tower game.
Zhen Jinli finally decided to rescue Si Yao first.
Because she still had a very important question to ask him.
If he was human, how on earth did he get caught and put on the auction block?
According to Pas, aren’t humans consumers in the city of Gordon?
How could he become a human target at an auction?
Zhen Jinli used her special ability to stop time and rescued Si Yao within one minute.
She first exchanged a throwing knife prop in the points mall, then took five seconds to run onto the stage, hugged Si Yao's legs, and took another five seconds to climb up his body.
Then, she took twenty seconds to cut the rope that tied Si Yao.
Thanks to the effect of the time-stop skill, even the time of falling can be stopped.
So Zhen Jinli could pull Si Yao down from the auction table by the rope, just like pulling a balloon, and move him parallel to the stairwell from the second floor to the third floor.
At this point, one minute has passed and the flow of time has resumed.
On the auction table, only a piece of cut rope was left, dangling in the middle of the table.
When Si Yao came to his senses, he first felt the gravity of falling down, then his buttocks hurt and he fell to the ground.
The scene before his eyes changed completely.
He was dragged to the stairwell from the second to the third floor of the Gordon Tower, and in front of him stood a beautiful woman with a face as stunning as a mixed-race person.
Seeing that Si Yao had come to his senses, Zhen Jinli took out the cloth stuffed in his mouth and asked.
"Are you a player or an NPC?"
As she spoke, she was still in the stairwell looking back at the auction hall on the second floor. The host with the white cat first screamed, and then began to mobilize the security guards to search everywhere for the missing Si Yao.
"I'm a player, please help me untie the rope." Si Yao explained quickly.
Zhen Jinli asked in confusion as she helped Si Yao untie the ropes.
"Since you're a player, how could you be put on the auction block and used as a human target?"
Si Yao also knew that his current situation was very dangerous. He explained while struggling to break free from the ropes on his body.
"I was arrested because I lost money gambling on the first floor and was forced to pay off my debt."
Zhen Jinli couldn't help but sneer and said, "How much debt do you owe that you need to pay it with your life?"
Si Yao looked away awkwardly and said, "About fifty thousand gold coins."
"You can buy on credit at the casino. The total amount of gold coins I lost was almost 50,000. When they saw that I couldn't pay back the gold coins, they arrested me and used me as a human target."
"It's all this damn game's fault. I can't even use real-world money. It's making me so miserable."
"If I could use real-world money, I definitely wouldn't be in such a miserable situation."
Zhen Jinli raised her eyebrows. Perhaps this was the purpose of the game, to establish a mass base among the proletariat.
This can be seen from the fact that survival games cannot be played with in-game currency.
After all, in the real world, the vast majority of players are proletarians and do not have much savings.
If games tend to help the proletariat, then there will definitely be more and more people supporting survival games in the future.
What the White Cat host said just now further supports this point of view.
Zhen Jinli was thinking about it when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
Is it possible that each level of the gold-level survival game is deliberately magnifying the dark side of human nature?
When players lose so much that they cannot pay back the gold coins, or are completely dominated by negative emotions, will they fall into the trap of the game and become tools used by the game?
The more Zhen Jinli thought about it, the more possible it seemed. In order to prevent the NPCs from catching Si Yao, she quickly took Si Yao to a secluded place on the third floor and hid there.
"The NPCs outside are probably looking for you everywhere right now. You should hide first and don't run around. I'll go out and check the situation."
"Wait a moment." Si Yao quickly grabbed Zhen Jinli's hand and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What?" Zhen Jinli turned around and asked.
Si Yaojun's face flushed slightly, and he explained a little embarrassedly.
"I once swore that if the person who rescued me was a man, I would recognize him as my elder brother, and if the person who rescued me was a woman, I would marry her."
At this moment, Si Yao was looking at her firmly, with a gleam in his eyes that didn't seem fake.
Zhen Jinli thought seriously for a moment and suddenly asked.
"What if the person who rescued you was a married middle-aged woman?"
Si Yao: "."
Look at her strict attitude, it ruined a lot of his tenderness.
Zhen Jinli could guess with her toes that if the person who saved Si Yao was a middle-aged woman, he would definitely not make such a vow to her.
Therefore, his so-called oath was just a temporary statement made when he was tempted by the beauty and it could not be taken seriously.
Oh, no, he probably just wanted to hug her thick thighs and made up a lie on the spur of the moment.
Players who have entered the survival game, as long as they are not face-blind, will basically know after seeing her——
She is Zhen Jinli, one of the high-level players in the survival game who is wanted for a large sum of money.
Not only is he the current MVP of the game with the highest points, he also possesses a special game avoidance physique.
If she were Si Yao, she would also want to cling to him.
Therefore, Zhen Jinli could fully understand Si Yao's thoughts.
But at this moment, Zhen Jinli had no intention of undermining this big star.
Si Yao knows the dangers of the survival game, and his decision to cram at the last minute is simply out of his instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. As long as you can stay alive, what does it matter if you tell a nice lie?
Well, the male protagonist appeared, but not completely. Save your life.
