Chapter 690: End of the Autumnal Equinox (9)
Someone knocked on [Brother Tie Ping's] door. The house had not yet been upgraded to a courtyard house, so the noise outside was transmitted into the house faster. The man came out of the room in a daze.
He still eats well, drinks well and sleeps well these days. He has gained two kilograms of fat, his belly is bulging, and he is tall and strong.
Brother Ping opened the door and said, "You're here to buy materials? I'll give you a flat price of 250,000 gold coins. Go to the trading center and buy them. I'm easy to talk to."
"Well, 250,000 is not bad for buying your life!"
[Qian Ye You Yu]'s voice was like a ghost reviving and crawling out of hell, sinister and extremely creepy.
Brother Ping was still a little dazed at this moment, and was about to yell angrily: "What the hell do you want to do--"
Before he finished speaking, a large machete appeared in Qianye Youyu's hand. The machete was extremely sharp. Qianye Youyu swung it heavily and chopped it directly at Brother Ping.
If this attack had hit, Brother Ping would have been dead for sure.
But this person is so afraid of death that he carries a shield with a very high defense value in his personal space so that he can take it out at any time to save his life.
Just like now, the shield armor took the attack, and the power burst of [Qian Ye You Yu] was quickly exhausted.
"You actually want to kill me?! I think you are tired of living!"
How could [Stubborn Brother Ping] bear this humiliation, and he found the right moment to knock the knife out of [Qian Ye You Yu]'s hand.
He poked his head out from behind the shield and smashed it hard on Qianye Youyu's head, then picked up the machete that Qianye Youyu brought with his backhand.
"If you don't want to accept my toast, then don't blame me for sending you to death." Brother Ping swung up the machete and cut Qianye Youyu in half, killing him instantly!
After his death, Qianye Youyu's expression was still one of fear and anger, with blood splattered at the door. At first, Brother Ping didn't care.
Anyway, when the player dies, all blood on the body will disappear completely after the system decomposes.
"Tsk! What the hell? You deserve to die!"
However, [Tietou Pingge] did not expect that an interesting phenomenon would occur after the death of the player in front of him.
He died but not completely dead. Brother Ping watched helplessly as Qianye Youyu's corpse was decomposed by the system, and then after a flash of light, very small amounts of materials and a lot of gold coins fell out!
You have to know that these players are all quite wealthy now, and some even have so much gold coins that they have no place to spend them.
"How many gold coins are there? 300,000?" Brother Ping couldn't control his expression and his eyes widened.
Brother Ping quickly looked around and made sure he wasn't seen by the players around him, then he put all the gold coins on the ground into his own private vault.
Only then did he truly feel what it felt like to have a bulging wallet.
"I didn't expect this person could still make use of his remaining energy after his death!"
He collected the materials produced by his brick and tile kiln and used part of them to buy some medicine, which was the last part he needed.
On the last day, take the medicine and have a sleep in the afternoon or evening, and the next day will be the new solar term!
As long as this solar term is over, this disease will definitely not occur again, right?
He immediately felt happy that he could produce the materials himself, and he even stocked up a lot of special materials such as cork.
Even if pine wood is no longer available in the next solar term, it will not affect his use of the stock to upgrade the house.
"In that case, it doesn't matter if we upgrade it in the next solar term! We can still make a lot of money."
Brother Ping is as stubborn as his ID. He cheerfully asks the Chen couple if they have ever encountered an assassination attempt like himself.
[Chen Family Director Changshou]: "We also encountered it. Fenzi didn't pay attention at the time and was injured, but fortunately it was not serious."
[Mr. Bai]: "I—I encountered it too. It was so scary, but I received a lot of gold coins. If I kill a few more, I will make a lot of money!"
[The One Who Stabilizes the Country]: "That's true, but why is this solar term so strange? Not to mention the amnesia, the game never said that killing players can earn gold coins or anything like that."
[Chen Family Director Changshou]: "I also checked and found that these people's houses will not disappear with death. Instead, they can be decomposed into materials--"
After discussion, the Chen couple and others had originally planned to keep the assassination secret. Otherwise, what would they do if so many poor people in the territory were targeting them?
Soon the news spread among hundreds of people at the top of the Pixiu territory, and all of them had become targets of assassination.
Everyone knows that killing someone can get their wealth and all their assets, including the player’s house, which will not be directly decomposed by the system but can be taken over by the player.
The most unusual ones, of course, are the lord with the power of Pixiu and his wife.
They, who were used to being capitalists, immediately began to plan for the players in their own territories.
Specifically select those players who cannot get limited-purchase materials, cannot afford or buy medicines, and have not slept for a day or two.
Unlike [Jiang Yu Yao Gong Li] and others who were relatively poor, these players were extremely rich, and each of them had at least 600,000 gold coins in their hands.
Even though the population of the territory has dropped sharply at present, after screening, there are actually quite a lot of people - at least eight or nine hundred.
This group of people immediately started to think of some bad ideas. The first thing they did was to call out those players who were swearing at them on the public screen.
Then they take the opportunity to "punish" them, so as to justify killing the players and take over their gold coins.
These events happened frequently in just one afternoon, or if you didn't want to go out, you could send private messages to anger the selected players.
They all knew that players with amnesia would lose their ability to think, become irritable and easily angered, and could be easily provoked to seek revenge.
Once these people arrive, you can kill them directly with the traps you set up early, and get a large sum of gold coins.
At the beginning, many players didn’t know what was going on. After all, it was the last day, and being outside for more than half an hour was the limit.
If you are seriously injured, you will be killed by the cold wind in an instant.
Jiang Yu, Ding Ceng and others all stayed at home, and then bought some food from Shuying remotely.
[Jiang Yu must work hard]: "Just make do with this day, I will definitely run away during the next solar term!"
She was chatting privately with Ding Ceng, Meng Nuan and Xing Ge, expressing her grievances.
[Ding Ceng who likes Maojian tea]: "It's not bad. At least we have enough to eat, drink and sleep. We can run away together during the next solar term."
[Yuan Xiashan's Travel Song]: "But I don't feel anything strange. Why is the number of survivors decreasing?"
[Meng Nuan Ya]: "It was sudden death. The lords raised the price of the materials so high that many people couldn't afford the medicine."
[Jiang Yu must work hard]: "Yes, haven't people been dying these past two days? How can we be short of people? It would be great if only those big vampires were left. Then I'd be curious to see how they suck each other's blood!"
[Ci Shengyi]: "No, no, I looked through the chat history. There is a player with the ID of Mr. Bai who lives not far from my house. I saw him go out an hour ago—"
Some people in the small team began to realize that something was wrong. The sudden drop in the number of survivors in their territory was understandable, as there were many sudden deaths.
But Ci Shengyi went out carefully to take a look, and found that the house next door was still standing!
[Ci Shengyi]: "All his chat records are gone. He has been out for so long, he must be dead. But shouldn't this house disappear along with his death?"
As we all know, when a player dies, his house and all other things will disappear, so people generally don't do anything extreme and won't kill anyone.
After all, there is no benefit, so why bother.
But now something seems to have changed!
[Jiang Yu Must Work Hard]: "Now that you mention it, I also saw many people die not long after quarreling with the lord couple. There seem to be two players not far away. I'll go take a look."
Others also went to find out the news, and they found out that the situation where players died but their houses were still there was everywhere in the territory.
[Moon Chant Winter Snow Meaning]: "What the hell is going on? Are they really all sudden deaths?"
[Jiang Yu needs to work hard]: "That's definitely not the case. Those people who died suddenly in the middle of their public speeches yesterday, I remember their houses disappeared!"
[Ci Shengyi]: "I don't think we can get anything out of asking the lords. Why don't we send private messages to the players in the neighboring territories? Maybe they know something."
Everyone exclaimed that it was a good idea, and the private message quickly reached the backstage of Yu Bai, Zhong Xiu and others.
At first, they were reluctant to talk about the details of the incident. As Jiang Yu and the others described it, and the number of people in the game area dropped sharply...
Zhong Xiu and his companions knew exactly what kind of crazy and insane things the Pixiu Lord was doing!
[Tihuazhixiu]: "I didn't expect that this would happen on the last day. You must not go out, and don't speak on the public screen, be careful of being targeted."
[Yu Bai]: "What a bunch of crazy beasts! They are their own residents, and they are dying. Do they still want to maximize their profits?"
[Yubai]: "The defense of the Siheyuan is very strong, you guys stay at home and don't go out!"
After knowing the whole cause and effect and the inside story, Jiang Yu and others nodded in agreement like chickens pecking at rice.
[Ci Shengyi]: "I can't even imagine what the territory is like. Once you step out of the room it feels like a bloody hunting ground. I'm so scared..."
It’s not like I haven’t experienced this kind of blood trial before. It was very common in the early days of the game.
However, as the territory was established, life gradually seemed to become relatively stable. Unexpectedly, it would only take one solar term to return to normal.
Jiang Yu told the players he was familiar with the news he had heard.
For a time, the entire Pixiu territory was in panic.
People like Ding Ceng, Jiang Yu and others are eager to move their homes to Shuying's territory right now.
[Jiang Yu needs to work hard]: "To be honest, there is no such thing in other people's territories. They don't have to worry about being attacked by bad players breaking into their houses and taking their lives at any time."
[Ding Ceng who likes Maojian tea]: "Fortunately I listened to what they said and upgraded the courtyard. I'm not worried about what Yu Bai said about the high defense. As long as we stay in the house to protect us through this solar term, the next solar term shouldn't be like this."
[Ci Shengyi]: "For the time being, we can only rely on this idea. No matter what, we can only wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to choose to leave the Pixiu territory."
[Brother Xing of Yuanxia Mountain]: "How could I be so unlucky to have such a lord? It's really frustrating."
The players who controlled the means of production at the top of the Pixiu Territory had now killed so many residents, and their wealth had accumulated instantly, making them extremely wealthy.
Some people even said on the public screen with confidence: "It's just killing some people who won't live long anyway. I'm solving their problems, just cutting the Gordian knot. And then they take my money. I've done nothing wrong."
[First meeting in Nagano]: "What kind of crazy husband and crazy wife, could you tone it down a bit?"
[Yu Bai]: "You speak so confidently, but you are still trying to kill for money. What rubbish!
[Wu Ruocheng said with a hint of reluctance]: "I know a little bit about tarot card reading, but these stupid dogs on the other side will be finished sooner or later, and their death will be quite miserable."
After Wu Ruocheng finished speaking, he received support from many people, not only from Shuying's players, but also from many players in the Pixiu Territory.
So some people started to break down.
[Xiao Xiao Zhi Fen Zi]: "You are all so full and have nothing better to do than to turn your elbows outward, eating at your own expense. I shouldn't let my husband sell the ingredients to you. I should just kill them all!"
[Nagano's first meeting]: "Auntie, you are just like a mad dog raised by your husband, biting wherever you point."
[Xiao Xiao Zhi Fen Zi]: "You're talking nonsense! My husband treats me very well. Besides, he's the lord!"
[Nagano Hatsumi]: "Please, the position of lord cannot be transmitted through sex. No matter how many times you say it, it's useless. If you dare, you can be the lord."
[Chen Family Hall Director Changshou]: "Wife, stop wasting time talking to these people. Those who have objections should be expelled from the territory."
Obviously, Nagano's words made [Chen Family Director Changshou] a little defensive, and he spoke up to stop his wife from continuing to "embarrass herself".
Then he actually expelled those players on the public screen from his territory: "Since you like their territory so much, let's go there on foot now."
Suddenly, many players didn't expect this guy to really do this, and were forced out of the territory.
Without the protection of the shield, the cold wind outside was even stronger, blowing wildly and making people shiver.
[Qi Dancing Qingying]: "Since your lord is so ruthless, then you can come to my territory."
Seeing Shuying extending an olive branch, these people were very grateful. After receiving the safe route, they supported each other in their actions.
[Stubborn Brother Ping]: "Tsk, in this weather, you'll be dead in less than a quarter of an hour if you go out. Do you really think they welcome you to their territory? You might as well kneel down and admit your mistakes to Brother Chen and beg him to continue to take you in."
[Qi Dancing Qingying]: "I have extra Qingxin Pills and herbal medicine on hand, enough for these players to take herbal medicine once every quarter of an hour. Our territory is not too far away, so we should be able to catch up."
[Qi Dancing Shadow]: "Since your blind lord has given up on you, I will accept you. I will give you as much medicine as you want."
Of course, these players had all helped Shuying and the others before. Those with bad character had already suffered from amnesia, and even if they managed to hold on, they would die on the spot when the cold wind blew when they were expelled from the territory.
Even if Shuying wanted to rescue her, it was too late.
Seeing that those players were still active and happily heading to Shuying, the Chen couple looked very unhappy.
