Chapter 441 The Broken Wheel of Destiny
An unprecedented event took place in the copy.
Regardless of the number of people, all guilds have started the land-digging mode, determined not to let go of every plant and every monster in the copy.
There is no other reason, it’s just that the things produced by machines are too unpalatable.
If you don't add something related to real food, you will end up with a tasteless, edible power block that is as soft as a sponge and sticks to your throat. On the third day, someone claimed that dog poop tasted better than this thing.
…Even though adding it will just turn it into sponge power blocks with various strange flavors, at least there is still a little bit of flavor.
Each copy appears unexpectedly harmonious.
As long as there is mental strength, food will be supplied unlimitedly. Since they are all members of the same guild, everyone eats the same unpalatable food and works together to kill monsters, and the relationship between them becomes even deeper.
During this period, driven by curiosity, Ma Qiao and the people from the Pantheon also ordered an additional machine from Xu Zhiyan at a high price, in order to try out how bad the taste was.
You don’t know until you try it. After tasting it, the survivors of the entire Pantheon gave the highest affirmation to Ma Qiao’s previous behavior of secretly surrendering to krypton gold to change his fate. They didn’t have any complaints at all and kept praising Ma Qiao for making a good decision, otherwise they would be the ones who went in to eat this thing.
Several more people also shared their thoughts on the meal on the forum.
【Thank you President Xu! Thank you Brother Ma! 】
[To be honest, even dogs won’t eat that stuff. ]
[Amen! I'm a little worried about everyone in the dungeon. If I eat this for three days in a row, I'll really want to kill someone.]
【Hahahaha, I'm lucky to be alive! 】
[I see some people have said they can’t stand it anymore and would rather eat shoe soles than this stuff.]
[Haha ...
[In fact, not everyone is like this. Look at some big muscular guys. They probably eat too much tasteless food. They eat it without changing their expression. When they know that it is rich in nutrients, they express the hope to stock up more. ]
[Damn, that's a muscle monster whose brain is controlled by its muscles! ]
For a moment, the forum was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, which formed a sharp contrast with the depressed and healthy players in the live broadcast.
On the twenty-eighth day after the dungeon began, all players received a message that the dungeon would end early.
[Notice: This screening copy failed]
[After 12 hours, all players will log out of the current instance. ]
[After 48 hours, the End of the World dungeon will be opened.]
In an instant, the players in the copy were excited!
In almost every live broadcast room, there were celebrations even crazier than the Chinese New Year.
Inside the safe house, Xu Zhiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the shameless addition of new rules by the main system that he had encountered in Rusty City before, even though he knew the plan was foolproof, he was still somewhat worried.
Fortunately, the main system cannot kill all human players.
After all, the rules for manipulating a single copy are different from the rules for manipulating hundreds of copies.
The screening copy was closed at noon the next day.
Xu Zhiyan received his reward in the afternoon - all the points and props stored in the trading guild.
In particular, the signing of the contract is quite strict. If the reserve points within the guild are insufficient, they will be deducted from the personal points of the guild members in proportion...
Soon, there were more and more complaints about money on the forum.
But this is not something Xu Zhiyan needs to worry about.
Boxes of props were taken out of the shell and piled up in the lobby of the safe house. The monsters were busy taking inventory of the contents in a panic.
The cost of not entering the screening copy is huge. There is less than a day and a half left before entering the copy. It is necessary to screen out things that may be useful in order to improve the props and equipment of the next few people who will enter the copy.
"Hey? What's going on?!"
In the yard, the bloated monster screamed in surprise.
The box in its hand was forcefully snatched away by several dark shadows that emerged from the corner. Not until the box disappeared did it realize that those shadows exuded the aura of ghosts and gods.
In the hall, Xu Zhiyan, who was looking through detailed data, suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes. When he came to his senses, he found that he had changed his place and was standing in the void.
The ghost appeared behind him, and an ordinary wooden suitcase was suspended in the air in front of him.
"Bai Jin? What's wrong?"
He glanced back, not understanding what made this box different from the others.
The ghost did not speak, and the solid wooden shell of the box collapsed in an instant. The props inside scattered out and fell to the ground with a clinking sound. Only a cloth doll was still hovering in the air.
"What Macho asked God for is inside." He explained softly.
Xu Zhiyan was stunned and grabbed the doll.
Although he looked calm all the time, he was actually not sure about the End of the World copy.
Gan Mi is already strong enough. If Wang Ying had less respect for her opponent, Jiang Huaique would probably not have had a chance to grow. As for Xu Yan and Yan Chengfan, who are ranked above these two...
So after learning about Macho's abilities, he squeezed the hell out of him.
After hundreds of times of asking the gods, only one blurry picture flashed by. It was a golden egg with gorgeous patterns painted on the surface. Just such a simple picture drained Ma Qiao's mental power completely. Now he is recovering in the shell, and it has not ended for a week.
Xu Zhiyan naturally thought that this golden egg would appear in the copy.
But this is just an ordinary B-level wishing doll prop. There is a chance of getting a correct answer when making a wish to the prop, but whether you get the answer or not, you will pay a price.
Without waiting for him to ask, a broad and warm hand reached out from behind and covered the back of Xu Zhiyan's hand. The next second, this slightly useless doll was torn into pieces. In the white cotton wool, a golden egg broke free and fell into Xu Zhiyan's hands.
[Name: Desire Easter Egg]
【Level: ? 】
【type:? 】
[Introduction: The incarnation of greed will get what he wants most, and no one knows what is inside. When the holder feels satisfied, the Easter egg will automatically open and give the other person what he desires. ]
[Notes: Only players with relevant features can open it. ]
[Mental Threshold Limit: None]
“…Bai Jin, this is!”
Xu Zhiyan took a breath and tightened his fingertips around the golden egg.
The ghost nodded slightly and let go of the other person.
"Well, I just happened to sense it--"
Before he could finish his words, his collar was pulled by someone. Without hesitation, he lowered his head according to the force and immediately received a rare reward - a passionate kiss on the cheek.
Unfortunately, before he could savor it, Xu Zhiyan's figure flashed out of the void.
Looking at the young man's hurried figure, the ghost raised his hand and touched the side of his face, where there seemed to still be the warm touch of a kiss. He couldn't help but laugh and followed him out.
However, everything is not that simple.
Following the instructions above, Xu Zhiyan went to the safe house's vault and safe, and also checked the balance.
However, no matter what he did, the desire egg remained motionless.
Standing on top of the piles of gold, Xu Zhiyan frowned and tilted his head to ask the ghosts and gods: "Why is it useless?"
This is all the money he earned, countless thousands and millions!
If money could buy everything, then it wouldn't take long for him to buy the entire world.
Looking at his beloved's eyes that were still greedy despite the reflection of gold, the ghost hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Maybe... he is still not satisfied."
After these words were spoken, Xu Zhiyan's expression became more serious.
Yes, he was not satisfied.
Although he already had so much money, he still longed for more.
He raised his hand, pinched the Desire Egg between his thumb and index finger, and sighed deeply, feeling that the opening rules were too contradictory.
"How can the embodiment of greed ever be satisfied?"
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something. He put the golden egg away, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Jin's face, then put his arms around his strong waist. His soft black hair stuck to his chest through his shirt, and he could hear the beating heartbeat inside.
"Physical satisfaction should also count, right?"
Since that kid Ma Qiao was able to rely on the skill of asking God to make it to the top ten, then this thing should really be effective for him, he must get it!
Xu Zhiyan rarely takes the initiative in this regard, especially since he has been so busy lately that he even has less time to go back to the safe house.
"If we add sensory control, we should be able to unlock the desire easter egg soon..." He whispered, drawing circles on the man's back with his fingertips, full of ambiguous hints.
Hearing the gradually heavier breathing coming from above his head, he let go of her hands, stood up straight, and went to unbutton his clothes.
"Right here."
Although gold is a bit hard, nothing could be more appropriate than this place.
Feeling that he was shrouded in a shadow, Xu Zhiyan closed his eyes, but after a few seconds he felt Bai Jin's fingers on his shoulders fall to his neck, and then the other party buttoned up the button he had just unbuttoned... Wait? Buttoned it?
A gentle kiss fell on his forehead, and when Xu Zhiyan opened his eyes, he was still a little dazed.
He bit his lip subconsciously and looked over in confusion.
What was going on? Did he have to explain this to the other party in detail?
"Wait." The ghost withdrew his gaze, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again. It was obvious that he was suppressing something, but in the end he just restrainedly took Xu Zhiyan's hand and took him from the vault of the safe house to the restricted area.
When Xu Zhiyan came to his senses and saw the scenery clearly, he was frozen in place.
What meets the eye is a golden color, but it is no longer the original golden color of the ginkgo leaves. The entire restricted area has turned into an endless wheat field, with bright and full ears of wheat hanging down heavily.
He saw two figures appear at the end of the ridge.
The chef who always gave him coins held his childhood hand and walked on the grand golden road.
Only after the two figures disappeared did Xu Zhiyan reluctantly retract his gaze and turn to look at the ghosts.
At this moment, the other person was holding a jar full of coins in his hand.
Before Xu Zhiyan could speak, the scenery changed again.
A lawyer and his assistant, holding briefcases, were sitting in a shabby country house. In front of them were an elderly couple with gray hair. Next to them was a middle-aged woman with rough fingers, crying as she signed something. Finally, a pair of young sisters who were studying timidly moved into the new house...
“His family is being accommodated very well.”
"You've been so busy lately, so I wanted to wait a while before telling you, but Asa is very good at this, and everything is in place."
He had heard Xu Zhiyan mention this late at night before. Whenever he talked about this, the young man would show a rare fragile side, as if he would break at the slightest touch. After his childhood memories came back, Xu Zhiyan was not as relaxed as he had imagined. The bloodstained gift box and the never-filled coin jar became his new nightmare. He even hesitated several times and did not speak to Qu Ji's instructions.
Others don’t know, but He knows.
He knew that Xu Zhiyan wanted to make amends for what had happened, but it was difficult for him to face it.
He could save the young Zhiyan, but he couldn't save himself.
The voice of the ghost seemed to be separated by a layer of water film, and it felt unclear when it fell into Xu Zhiyan's ears.
He felt dizzy and a hand fell on his face, wiping away some hot and wet stains.
...What happened? Did he cry?
Xu Zhiyan just felt that something in his heart melted, along with himself.
"You've done very well. It doesn't matter even if you can't open the desire easter egg." His voice was unusually gentle. No matter what the situation was, he didn't want to see Xu Zhiyan really become a puppet of desire.
This prop is a trap.
Greed incarnate can never be satisfied.
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment.
Just as the silence spread, a tiny sound came from his pocket. Xu Zhiyan hurriedly took out the Desire Egg from his pocket, and looking at the crack on it, he felt his mind a little unclear.
There was a strange tone of voice in my ear.
Just as he heard in his dream that year.
[When the incarnation of greed is satisfied, he will definitely get what he desires.]
[Feature [Greed] Sleeping Detected]
[Feature detected [Incineration]]
This greedy trait that was always ridiculed and despised by Xu Zhiyan completed its final mission before falling asleep and brought back the missing power to its owner.
Looking at Bai Jin's worried eyes, Xu Zhiyan laughed softly and took the jar full of coins.
He understood how to open the desire easter egg.
He was indeed satisfied to have such a lover.
…
36 hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the safe house, Xu Zhiyan stood in front of the door, looking down at the information on the panel.
【Coming Soon to the Final Dungeon】
[[Broken Wheel of Fortune] is opening. ]
He turned his head and smiled.
"Bai Jin, wait for me at home."
He saved the ghosts and gods, and the ghosts and gods also saved him.
"Okay." Bai Jin's answer was filled with attachment and love.
The lingering smell of ashes was intertwined, and it was impossible to tell who it belonged to.
