Jiang Ran's funds have arrived.
The games managed by these project leaders are all quite challenging, but as long as you understand the key elements, winning is not difficult. Jiang Ran's Paradise Coins have been steadily increasing, so breaking through the barrier is not unexpected.
As dusk fell, night finally descended!
"Aren't there any new rules?"
Jiang Ran had expected new rules to be announced in the darkness, but nothing happened.
Are there no new rules? Or are there implicit rules that they need to discover for themselves?
"Ladies and gentlemen! Our Night of Horrors event is officially underway! Hahaha! Enjoy the night!"
Jiang Ran looked in the direction the sound came from. It seemed to be the top of the Ferris wheel, but it was too far away and shrouded in darkness, so he couldn't see clearly what it was.
“It’s a clown!” Gwen exclaimed. “To be precise, a weirdo dressed as a clown! Wait! What is he doing?! He jumped down!”
A dull thud disappeared into a corner of the amusement park, seemingly without attracting much attention.
There are still 11 surviving ghost story tellers!
Amusement parks may not seem dangerous on the surface, but in reality, the Ferris wheel at the beginning bleeds out a group of people, the games bleed out another group, the white cloth ghost bleeds out another group, and all sorts of strange reasons blew out yet another group.
From this perspective, the number of survivors, 11, is not bad.
Jiang Ran, Bates, Weipus, and another SS-level ghost storyteller, along with two other strong S-level ghost storytellers, each had thousands or even tens of thousands of Paradise Coins, making them true big spenders. Of the remaining five, three didn't spend any money at all, and the last two only had a few hundred Paradise Coins each.
All the project leaders walked out of the room one after another and looked up at the sky!
The crescent moon was stained with a blood-red light!
The person closest to Jiang Ran was a manager wearing a lynx mask. He closed his door, picked up a short knife, and walked into the street, revealing the number 4500 on his wristwatch!
Jiang Ran remembered that this guy only had 3500 Paradise Coins before, how come he suddenly has 1000 more? No one else has joined his game during this time...
Oh, right! Someone died in his game before!
No wonder! No wonder some owners are willing to lose money to hold games. It turns out that they get 1,000 amusement park coins for every person who dies in the game area. That's their real purpose!
But what exactly do these project leaders want so many Paradise Coins for? What can Paradise Coins actually do?!
The lynx owner walked towards Jiang Ran step by step.
"How about I make a deal with you two?" He showed off his watch. "One of you has some Paradise Coins, and the other has 7,800 Paradise Coins. To be honest, that's way beyond what's required. Are you heartless game machines?"
"Nobody ever complains about having too much money," Jiang Ran said, going along with his words. "So, how do you want to cooperate with me?"
“We’ll each get what we need. I want your Paradise Coins.” The lynx owner pulled a towel from his pocket and patiently wiped the short knife in his hand. “You each keep 5,000 Paradise Coins, and give me the rest. In return, I won’t hurt you and I will protect your safety.”
"In this terrifying night, if you're not careful, you could lose your lives—"
"Hold on. If we only keep 5,000 Paradise Coins, it's equivalent to giving you 9,800 Paradise Coins. Your promise isn't worth that much money."
“I’ve said it before, you don’t need that many Paradise Coins,” the lynx owner said again. “Trading my promise for something extra is a good deal.”
"As a condition, you won't hurt us? Then—" Jiang Ran's tone turned impolite, "meaning, if we don't agree, you'll take action? Can I use that as a threat?"
The lynx owner didn't answer, but he wiped his knife even faster, and the atmosphere became tense. Weps knew he was in trouble. He hadn't set up spatial imprints elsewhere beforehand, and if the lynx owner suddenly attacked, he wouldn't have a chance to escape.
But thinking back, did he need to run?
Putting aside Jiang Ran, an SSS-level ghost storyteller with unknown talent, just having Gwen here isn't something any small fry can just try to mess with.
"I won't lay a hand on you. If you don't want to make this deal, I'll find someone else."
Haha, low emotional intelligence? I can't beat you. High emotional intelligence? I won't lay a hand on you.
"Xiao Ran, watch out for those project managers! They've killed some ghost story tellers! And they can also steal Paradise Coins!"
Just now, a project manager wearing a leopard mask came out onto the street and brutally murdered a surviving ghost storyteller!
Lin Changqing immediately relayed this information to Jiang Ran!
The number of survivors has dwindled again, and now only 10 remain!
"Stealing Paradise Coins?"
Jiang Ran pinched his chin. If these project leaders could really kill the ghost story tellers and steal their Paradise Coins, then they would have no chance at all. The swarming project leaders would tear them to pieces!
So these guys must have met some conditions to kill someone. Jiang Ran thought of something as he watched the lynx boss hurrying away into the distance.
“It’s Paradise Coins!” Jiang Ran’s eyes narrowed. “A creature with more Paradise Coins can kill a creature with fewer! And it can steal the Paradise Coins after killing it!”
The power of life and death rests entirely on the number of Paradise Coins!
"If that's the case, then this game is a bit too easy for us, isn't it?"
Weipus was somewhat amused and exasperated. He had 7,800 Paradise Coins, and Jiang Ran had Paradise Coins. From what they had seen along the way, no project leader had Paradise Coins that could compare to theirs. Most project leaders had less than 5,000, 6,000 was considered outstanding, and no more than five had more than 7,000!
Even considering the bonus from their killings, they might still have a chance to surpass Weipus, but to surpass Jiang Ran is simply absurd!
“No, we are not safe,” Jiang Ran said, uttering words that puzzled Wips. “On the contrary, we are in great danger!”
"Huh? Why? If we're all in danger, then aren't the others close to death?"
“If we don’t do something, we’re really not far from death!” Jiang Ran explained. “It’s normal for a person in charge of assets with 5,000 to kill a person in charge of assets with 4,000, right? It’s also normal for him to take all his assets, right?”
"Only one person needs to die, and a person in charge with 9,000 assets will be born!"
