No one expected that the NPC would deviate from their post and the script, running off with the players. This was a real hardship for those who had been cursed by her. They had originally had a chance to get some information from Huang Xiaohua or plead for a way to survive, but now that the main character was gone, when they discovered the curse on their bodies but were powerless to do anything about it, they could only wait in despair or spend a fortune to remove the curse.
If they have enough points.
However, most players won't have that. Their few points might even be stolen by the big shots. After all, players under the Infinite Flow God's command don't have a newbie protection period. Here, luck is also a part of strength, so it's no wonder they're unlucky.
Yu Ling and the old village chief left together, but when they returned, three "people" came back. Huang Xiaohua followed Yu Ling to see him say goodbye to the village chief, and then followed Yu Ling back to that small room.
Inside the house, Gou Wang Yu Sicai had no intention of rummaging through the village chief's house. He didn't even leave the house, and instead started playing a game like Yu Ling.
Judging from his expression... he must have lost yet another time.
"Boss, you're back?" Yu Sicai turned his head blankly. The cat on the panel accidentally bumped into an obstacle and bounced back to its original position.
It's a pity that games can't be played by proxy, otherwise Yu Sicai really wanted Yu Ling to complete a few more games for him to farm points. Or maybe she's just a pro; she's good at real games, and even casual games are amazing. I wonder what powerful things this pro buys with all those points.
Jade, Unspent Coins, Diamond-shaped: Not a single one can be spent!
"Hmm, I took a look around, and the other players in the village seem to be having a pretty fulfilling time. Do you want to join in too?"
Some players were sleeping on the streets to survive, others were gathering information, and still others were searching for a way to leave. Every player was busy, except for Yu Ling, who seemed quite content. At most, Yu Sicai could be added to the list, but Wang Wei was not doing so well.
The woman who possessed him was a village woman. Before he was possessed, he wanted to go to the toilet. Now that he has lost consciousness, it is a kind of relief. At least he still feels ashamed about it now. Otherwise, he would be so embarrassed that he would want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot.
Yu Sicai had long regarded Wang Wei as a ghost. He was terrified of this guy who had no fighting ability and was in the body of an acquaintance. So how could he be willing to step out of his comfort zone?
"No way. I don't have the skills of a pro, nor the will to become stronger. If it were a survival map, I could lend you a hand, but this world where ghosts live... It's not that I'm a coward, it's just that I've been terrified by movies since I was a kid, and I can't accept anything like it!"
Although not every ghost looks scary, and there are no terrifying sound effects in the mission world to mess with your mind, the fear etched into your bones is what makes Yu Sicai unable to face his inner terror.
Fortunately, Yu Ling was just joking. If this person were really curious, Yu Ling might not have kept him. He would occupy one of the ten players, and besides the two in the room, he would probably occupy four or five of the remaining seven.
There aren't many surviving players. It's not that wiping them all out is impossible. Yu Ling isn't some kind of monster that indiscriminately kills innocent people. She hasn't offended me. Those I like can be kept. Picking some who should be killed anyway to get a kill is fine, right?
Huang Xiaohua didn't know why the two older brothers were staring at thin air or saying strange things. She just saw Yu Ling sitting on the bed in a daze (using her mind to control the mini-game on the player panel), so she sat down to keep her company.
Beautiful people always have their reasons for doing things. Huang Xiaohua sat next to Yu Ling, lost in thought. However, Yu Sicai had no idea that the thing he feared most had already entered the house. Seeing Yu Ling start showing off her skills again, he followed her over to watch.
It's all in the past now, but who knew he and Huang Xiaohua were so "telepathically connected"? Yu Ling had empty seats on either side, but he insisted on sitting on the right, just like Huang Xiaohua. The two figures, one real and one illusory, overlapped. Huang Xiaohua didn't seem to notice anything, but Yu Sicai felt a chill run down his spine.
In the entire house, he was at the very bottom of the food chain; at least Wang Wei had an NPC supporting him!
With Huang Xiaohua unmoved and Yu Sicai equally unwilling to move, this strange scene continued. Yu Ling used her mind to control the game and earned extra money on the player panel.
Other people's tasks are much more interesting. Not only can you earn money by completing tasks, but you can also earn money by playing built-in mini-games. I wonder when the creators of this crappy system will learn from it.
However, other players aren't stupid either. All the players they recruit are human, unlike Yu Ling, who's a powerful demon with cheat codes. She plays a small game like a modded version, which is completely outrageous!
Yu Sicai initially watched the game with a learning attitude, but the difficulty of each mini-game increased step by step. When he tried to play it himself, he felt like he was meeting his hands for the first time, and his mind couldn't keep up. His general consciousness was too active and he was getting worse.
Inside the room were only Huang Xiaohua and the NPC possessing Wang Wei. No one knew what the two of them had been doing all day, one was addicted to the game and the other was addicted to watching others play the game. By the time even these ghosts started to get bored, it was already dark.
The village only provides two meals a day, but this time the old village chief didn't bring them food; instead, his wife did. Yu Ling was waiting for the plot to develop further before taking action and had no intention of contacting the village chief. She then spent another night playing games.
Making money can be addictive, especially making money through gaming. Yu Ling stayed up all night again, and Yu Sicai wanted to too, but he hadn't slept the night before, so how could he hold on? He managed to stay awake until the wee hours of the morning before finally drifting off to sleep. Yu Ling carried him to the floor with one hand to keep Wang Wei company before turning off the player panel.
The mini-games are so much fun!
Tonight, some players are probably going to suffer, right?
Yu Ling, preoccupied with completing quests and stealing kills, decided to start now to see if she could pick up any kills from other NPCs. She got up and went out the door.
Huang Xiaohua also floated out with Yu Ling.
The village chief's yard was locked, but the wall couldn't hold Yu Ling back. He leaped over the wall, completely unaware of Huang Xiaohua following him through it.
The beginner quest storyline progressed quickly. Yu Ling wandered around the village, referring to the images from the daytime and the information on the NPC panel, while her soul began to carefully explore the signs of life in the vicinity.
"Strange... why are we only seeing players and not the vengeful ghosts?"
Yu Ling wandered around, saving two players who were almost killed by the curse and personally sending them on their way, but she still couldn't find any trace of the vengeful ghost Huang Xiaohua.
Are NPCs these days so unprofessional? If players aren't chasing after them, what are they chasing after?
