Chapter 107
"Everyone, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Cen Xun rested his hands on the table, his eyes scanning the faces of each member. Although he said there was good news, his expression was not good.
Seeing his expression, the atmosphere gradually became solemn.
0024 slowly spoke: "Mayor, what counts as bad news for you?"
Cen Xun: “Very rarely, but not completely.”
Well, it’s the same as not answering.
Tong Ming, the only one who knew the truth, opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the naughty child Wu Jin answered first: "Fourth brother! Fourth brother! I want to hear the good news first!"
Cen Xun smiled slightly: "The good news is that I successfully captured the [Natural Disaster]."
Wu Jin cheered and said with immense admiration, "I knew it. You are worthy of being me, Fourth Brother!"
"Isn't that great?" 0096 applauded enthusiastically. "What about the bad news?"
The smile on Cen Xun's face vanished instantly, and he said coldly, "The bad news is, I only captured one-third of the [Natural Disaster]."
As he spoke, he took out a glass bottle that was half filled with sloshing water.
Cen Xun poured out the water inside, and the water droplets fell on the table and turned into a little girl about four or five years old.
The girl's hair is light blue and slightly curly, and her little face is adorable. She looks very much like the little mermaid in the cartoon, but her expression has a melancholy that is inconsistent with her age.
Under everyone's gaze, she sat on the table, propping her chin up with her chubby little hand, sighed, and uttered in a clear, babyish voice, "Fuck you, are you trying to shake your sister to death?"
Others: ""
Wu Jin was speechless: "This is Sister Sansan? How come she's even more social than me?"
Cen Xun glanced at him and said, "But I'm more educated than you."
Yun Shiqing asked, "Is the humanoid form of [Natural Disaster] originally this small?"
Upon hearing this question, it was [Natural Disaster] who lost his composure first. He immediately stood up on the table, hands on his hips, and angrily accused Cen Xun, "It's him! He's the one who ate me like this! My fourth brother is a super-killing monster maniac. If you play with him, you'll be eaten by him sooner or later!"
0002 shrugged: "Eat it if you want. It's just a dead body, who cares?"
Qin Xiu said darkly, "If he eats me, who will take care of all those bad debts for him?"
Wu Jin looked at Cen Xun with shining eyes: "Brother, are you going to eat now? My meat is the most tender, you must eat me first!"
[Natural Disaster]: "No, you are all crazy.
So there was an awkward silence.
Tong Ming stepped forward to examine the [Natural Disaster]. He possessed an all-seeing eye, and observing the [Natural Disaster] at such a close distance, he quickly discerned more secrets. He turned around and informed Cen Xun, "Fourth Brother, the [Natural Disaster]'s power comes from three sources: land, sky, and ocean. This special source of power allows the [Natural Disaster] to split itself into three. The one you captured should be the [Natural Disaster] that controls the power of the 'ocean.'"
[Natural Disaster] gritted her teeth, pointed at Tong Ming's nose and cursed, "Damn it, I hate you the most, you peeping Tom! I only regret not killing you sooner!"
Cen Xun ignored [Natural Disaster]'s curse words: "Name?"
[Natural Disaster] turned his head and said, "Humph, I won't tell you."
Cen Xun wrapped the puppet string around her neck and asked expressionlessly, "Name?"
"Yuanchu." Sensing the murderous intent, [Natural Disaster] had no choice but to bow to the evil forces in frustration.
Cen Xun calmly asked, "Yuanchu, who sent you to attack my Ghost Domain?"
Yuanchu's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with a puffy face, "I don't understand what you are saying."
"Don't act cute," Cen Xun cruelly tightened the puppet string around her neck, "This trick won't work on me."
Yuanchu was in pain and was about to speak with a gloomy face when Tong Ming suddenly laughed, not knowing what he saw. "Oh, Third Sister, don't you also dislike Second Brother? Why are you willing to listen to him this time?"
Yuanchu turned to Tong Ming in disbelief and shouted angrily, "Damn it! I'm going to tear your big mouth apart!"
"You can't just tear my mouth apart, you have to tear my eyes apart, Sister One Third." Tong Ming raised the corners of his lips, and his naughty look made Yuan Chu want to cut him into pieces.
Cen Xun's eyes flickered slightly: "This matter is actually related to [time]."
Tong Ming's expression became slightly more serious: "[Time] and [Fate] can both interfere with my all-seeing eyes. Apart from knowing that my second brother and third sister have had contact, I can't see anything more."
Cen Xun nodded slightly and asked Yuan Chu, "Tell me, what did you talk about with your second brother?"
Seeing the truth exposed, Yuanchu no longer tried to hide it, saying contemptuously, "It's nothing. He just adjusted the time backwards so that I could see you dominate the world. I think what he said makes sense. I must destroy your strange domain as soon as possible, so I came to deal with you. Is that a problem?"
Cen Xun: "Why doesn't he do it himself?"
Yuan Chu sneered, "He's probably afraid he can't beat you. He's not as high a level as you are right now."
Cen Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "If it's really like you said, why don't you eat him?"
"Do you think I don't want to eat it?" Yuanchu said unwillingly, "It's still because I can't eat it. Damn it! Just when I was about to hit him, he turned back time. How can I hit him? All my attacks can't even get close to him."
Tong Ming dragged out his voice: "Oh, after saying so much, it turns out that you can't beat me."
Yuanchu could no longer suppress his anger and rushed over to wrestle with Tong Ming.
Cen Xun ignored them and fell into deep thought.
[Natural disasters] suddenly appear because [time] is fanning the flames behind the scenes.
Cen Xun had long anticipated that the rise of Fengdu Ghost City would inevitably take away most of the monster cake, but [Time] could not sit still so quickly, which was beyond Cen Xun's expectations.
[Natural disaster] failed to destroy Fengdu Ghost City, [time] will definitely have other actions next.
Yun Shiqing also thought of the same question and said in a deep voice: "Should we solve the problem of [Time] first?"
"What do you want to solve? Who has the time to waste with him?" Cen Xun sneered, "The more he doesn't want me to open the business, the more I will make the Fengdu Ghost City project a success."
"Open as usual tomorrow." Cen Xun gave the order, stood up and grabbed Yuan Chu, who was beating Tong Ming, and lifted her up.
Yuanchu said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing? I haven't spanked that big mouth enough yet!"
"I'm sorry," Cen Xun said lightly, "I'm going to make you my puppet, so that you won't ruin my plans in the future."
The power of the [Natural Scourge] was divided into three parts. Even if Cen Xun contracted the Ocean portion as his followers, he would not be able to fully control the [Natural Scourge]. If the three parts of the [Natural Scourge] could communicate with each other, Cen Xun would be like having an undercover agent nearby, and Yuanchu could leak secrets to the other two parts at any time, which was not very safe.
So Cen Xun thought about it and decided to make this one-third sister into a puppet to completely control this part of the [natural disaster] regarding the ocean, so that it would be safe.
After hearing this, Yuan Chu was completely shocked: "???"
What to make of her!
Is this something that can be spoken by a warm mouth?
"You dare! I won't let you go with the other two!"
"Brother, my good fourth brother, please don't make your sister into a puppet! This is extremely immoral!"
"I am your biological sister."
As the last tragic wail disappeared into the corridor, everything outside became completely quiet.
Everyone looked at each other in silence for a moment.
Tong Ming got up from the ground, rubbing his face with a soft hiss, "Although my body has shrunk, my strength is still enormous."
Yaxu's mechanical voice was filled with malice: "Peeping Tom, I hope you get beaten to death by my third sister soon."
Wu Jin stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Since my third sister was made into a puppet by my fourth brother, does that mean she's ranked last? Can I ask her to call me brother?"
"Looking at this chaotic relationship between brothers and sisters, Yun Shiqing and others fell into silence.
They couldn't understand it, but they were shocked.
No matter what, after many twists and turns, Fengdu Ghost Town finally opened on time at 00:00 on October 2.
The moment time jumped to 00:00, all 10 million players in the third round of public beta were dragged into the nightmare world.
The new players were attracted by the viral publicity of Nightmare University. When they signed up, they chose "Fengdu Ghost City", which ranked first in the top 100 list. So when midnight arrived, they skipped the stage of choosing the ghost domain and went directly to "Fengdu Ghost City".
Behind the smoky white mist, ghostly green fires hung high above the city walls. The towering shadows outlined by the light and shadows were like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, ready to devour its prey.
Suddenly transported to a strange place, new players' first reaction was to see a ghost. Looking at the scenery, many of them actually thought they were dead and had entered the underworld. It wasn't until someone nearby asked if this was the Fengdu Ghost City that had been circulating online recently that the new players finally realized what was happening.
"No, I haven't even put on that holographic helmet yet, so how did you get in? Did I agree to it?!"
"I want to complain to this rubbish gaming company! Why did they suddenly drag me in? Who the hell are they trying to scare to death?"
"I want to go back. I don't want to play anymore! Where's the button to leave? Where is it?"
"Family, am I really the only one who thinks this is a bit weird?"
Just as a group of people were clamoring and making noises outside the city gate, and panic was spreading, the heavy city gate suddenly creaked and opened to both sides.
As if copied and pasted, the Black and White Impermanence formed two long lines and floated out of the city gate in an orderly manner. The White Impermanence had a pale face, a long tongue hanging out of his mouth, and held a mourning stick. The Black Impermanence had a dark and fierce face, his eyes were wide open, and he held a soul-catching rope.
The moment they appeared, the crowd suddenly fell silent.
"Your dead souls cannot return to the mortal realm. I, under the orders of the Ghost King, escort you to the Ghost City of Fengdu."
As soon as the opening remarks came out, the crowd panicked again. It was just a game, so why couldn't they return to the living world? With such a bizarre thing happening, and these strange creatures adding a little provocation, it was hard for new players not to believe it.
Some people couldn't comprehend the current situation, finding everything they saw terrifying. The timid ones quickly collapsed, screaming and pushing through the crowd to escape, but were quickly tied up by the Black Impermanence with a soul-catching rope, who shouted angrily, "You bold ghost, how dare you disobey me? Do you want to go to hell?"
The tied-up man begged for mercy repeatedly, but Hei Wuchang snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, then follow us into the city!"
After this incident, the new players saw that they could not escape the Soul Rope and had to accept their fate.
They were divided into countless small teams, following the Black and White Impermanence and entering the city from different gates.
As they approached, the true appearance of the towering buildings behind the mist was revealed. The visual effect was very shocking. The new players looked at the tall city gate and were subconsciously amazed.
The moment they stepped into the city gate, the game panel popped up, prompting them that they had completed the main task 1 to enter the city.
Next comes the main mission 2.
【Main Mission 2: Change your attire.
Task introduction: In order to better integrate into the ghost town, please change your original clothes as soon as possible and dress in line with the popular style of the ghost town.
Tips: It’s best not to let the ghosts in the city find out that you are a new resident.
Seeing the tasks presented on the game panel, the new players all had tears in their eyes, as if they had suddenly survived a disaster and returned to the human world from the underworld.
That's right.
This is what a holographic game should look like!
The emergence of the game panel has alleviated the anxiety of new players to a certain extent.
The new players calmed down, pondered the prompts of the main task 2, and began to match clothes on the panel.
Clothes and hairstyles can be changed with just one click, and if you are not satisfied, you can change them again. Until this time, they finally felt that "this is a game" and looked at the Fengdu Ghost City in front of them with curiosity.
Countless magnificent buildings are lined up one after another, palace lanterns are hung high under the eaves, and residents of the ghost town with strange appearances are walking on the streets. The fantastic and strange scenes fall into their eyes, presenting a wonderland different from the real world.
As soon as the new players who had never seen the world stepped in, they couldn't help but let out a "wow" sound.
Although the horror atmosphere is a bit too strong, the scenery is really amazing. If it were placed in the real world, it could definitely beat all the commercial ancient city scenic spots.
After following the guidance of the main quest and completing several novice quests, the new player gradually adapted to the style of Fengdu Ghost City and started to play.
There is an old saying that goes, since you are here, you are here.
Since I can’t get out anyway, I might as well just have fun.
A large number of new players poured into the city, and Fengdu Ghost City became visibly lively.
On the tallest building in Fengdu Ghost City, Cen Xun leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, looking at the crowds of people in the city. He had a premonition that he would earn a large amount of points in the future, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes with relief.
At this moment, the Nightmare System suddenly popped up spontaneously, showing that he had an unread message from the official Nightmare World.
Cen Xun's eyes dimmed slightly. Ever since the Nightmare System announced the "Top 100 Rankings" event to all domain masters, this so-called official hadn't done anything new for a long time. Suddenly appearing at this time didn't look like a good thing at all.
With a flick of his finger, Cen Xun opened the panel to check for new messages.
