Chapter 196 Gold, the Most Deadly Curse
Ji Xinghan had already prepared everything and brought the gold coins with him.
She also saw that she was second in gold coin holdings, but had a full 10,000 fewer gold coins than Ji Wenqiao.
Zhou Xinyao kept messaging her privately, updating her on the Ji family's situation. So, she knew immediately that Ji Wenqiao's gold coin holdings had increased to nearly 200,000 in a short period of time.
She was anxious, but without three or four thousand people behind her, it was impossible for her to gather 100,000 gold coins in half an hour.
She felt uneasy, always fearing that losing her Gold VIP status would cause her serious trouble.
But I can't collect enough gold coins!
Ji Xinghan was extremely anxious. She forced herself to calm down, checking to see if anything was missed while thinking quickly.
The countdown ended, and with a "whoosh," she was teleported to a venue.
The announcement resounded throughout the venue:
[Entering service area!]
[Service area will be open for 5 hours this time!]
If you have less than 200 gold coins, you will be teleported to the outskirts of the service area. You can only return to your RV after the service area closes!
Total number of players entering the service area this time: [number] people!
Due to the large number of players, they will be assigned to separate zones with the same environment.
Ji Xinghan looked around and found that there were people all around him.
There are many more shops than before, and players are scattered everywhere, making a lot of noise and bustling around.
Of course, the chat channels were even more lively:
"What? I'm not qualified to enter the service area? Ah, why? I'm just one gold coin short!"
"Damn it, I got ripped off again. I knew this game was awful. I didn't have a single gold coin left. I gave them all to my friend so he could save them up to get a mid-level VIP so we could play together. But it ended up costing me all of them!"
"Hehe, upstairs, you might really be gone soon, didn't you notice? This is a free-for-all zone, you can kill and fight as you please!"
"Help! A wild boar jumped out of the woods! It's going to eat me!"
"I...someone killed someone, someone killed someone, oh..."
The chat channel was in complete chaos.
Players who were eliminated and moved outside the service area began killing each other.
The service area's external environment is extremely complex, with ice and snow, wastelands, and dense forests, all teeming with various strange beasts. There are also many players, and when players meet, they mostly turn against each other. In the blink of an eye, the chat channel is filled with howls and chaos.
In a short time, the chat channel lost three or four hundred people.
Everyone was shocked:
"This game is truly unethical, just sending 30,000 to 40,000 people out into the world to kill each other?"
"That's not all! They're not even qualified to enter the service area. Killing them would be pointless; they can't buy anything anyway!"
"That's incredibly unethical! If there's such a rule, why wasn't it mentioned beforehand? It's a trap!"
"I was wondering why the game was so merciful this time, letting everyone directly enter the server area. Turns out, this is what was going on."
"It's pitiful. Some players put all their gold coins into one person's account in order to complete a membership, planning to use them together after recharging in the server. Who knew it would end like this?"
"Insidious! This game is so insidious!"
Everyone sighed in dismay.
Outside, the fighting raged on, and within two minutes, several hundred more people had been killed.
The players were all terrified.
In the chat channel, someone roared: "Ji Wenqiao, you piece of trash, I'll kill you the moment I get out!"
Qi Feng recognized the man and immediately asked, "What's wrong, Yao Dagang?"
Yao Dagang was furious: "I originally had 208 gold coins, but before entering the service area, Ji Wenqiao insisted that everyone hand over 10 gold coins. After I handed over my gold coins, I still had 198 left. I didn't have enough gold coins to make up the 200 gold coins, so I was eliminated and moved to the outer area!"
He continued to curse, "I'll kill you, Ji Wenqiao, you piece of trash!"
Yao Dagang: "Ji Wenqiao, I wish you'll be constantly beaten by Ji Xinghan for the rest of your life!!"
Qi Feng: "Oh, I see. She's too cowardly. Even though she has 10,000 more gold coins than Ji Xinghan, she still feels uneasy, so she's teasing you. So, let's hope she doesn't get the Gold VIP today!"
Liao Ran: "Haha, this is the most deadly curse!"
Immediately, several more people appeared in the chat channel:
"May Ji Wenqiao suffer a terrible death, and may she not get her Gold VIP status today!"
"No wonder her brother was killed! Well, may she suffer an even more terrible death than her brother!"
"Heh, I wish she not only fails to get the Gold VIP, but also suffers a gruesome death and a disastrous end!"
These people were cursing particularly harshly; they were all members of the Ji family gang, and they were the ones who were kicked to the outskirts of the service area because they had just less than 200 gold coins.
Zhu Xiong roared, "You bunch of ingrates! If it weren't for the gang leader taking you in, you would all be dead by now!"
Zhu Xiong was furious: "What good will it do you if the gang leader doesn't get anything out of it? Don't you want to stay in the Ji Family Gang anymore?"
Yao Dagang: "Yes, I'm leaving the gang right now!"
Ji Wenqiao suppressed her anger and reassured everyone, "Don't panic, everyone. The gang members on the periphery need to unite and hold on."
Yao Dagang: "Stick to your ass? Would I be like this without you?"
Zhu Xiong shouted, "Yao Dagang, shut up! Are you looking for death?"
Yao Dagang: "Ji Wenqiao, you'll never get any Gold VIP in your life. I'd rather give all the remaining gold coins to Ji Xinghan!"
Ji Xinghan received 198 gold coins from Yao Dagang.
she:……
Immediately, several rebellious members of the Ji family gang said, "That's right, that's right! We'd rather give it to Ji Xinghan and Ji Wenqiao. Let's see how you get the Gold VIP status!"
Zhu Xiong laughed loudly: "Are you all stupid? You think you can support Ji Xinghan with less than 200 gold coins? She has 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins less than the guild leader, haha, she's the one who will never get a gold VIP in this lifetime!"
On the chat channel, players were both anxious and cursing, including many members of the Ji family gang.
They were all tricked by Ji Wenqiao.
