Chapter 139 Madness and Chaos
Rong Yi was watching TV in his temporary residence, while Wei Yanqing was preparing lunch.
At that moment, Yuan Tianyu came to their door and placed his phone, which contained the video recording from the previous night, in front of them.
"I know what you two have been up to lately. I have no ill intentions in coming here. I just want to ask for your help. The authorities are willing to pay any amount they can afford."
The only ones who can effectively deal with the weirdos are other weirdos, and they are not a united group.
Rong Yi merely glanced at his phone and didn't even call Wei Yanqing to cook, because he had already anticipated that Yuan Tianyu would come looking for him.
Yuan Tianyu's current status still allows him to personally visit, even with bodyguards surrounding him, which demonstrates his sincerity.
This also shows that the official team does not want to be openly hostile to the player community.
The authorities aren't stupid; they won't turn a blind eye to such a threatening group as players. Once the number of cases reaches a certain level, they will definitely notice.
Ghosts have controlled the world of the living, but they haven't caused widespread destruction of buildings and facilities, so it's not surprising that their actions have been captured on camera.
"The reward is easy to discuss; just pay these people for killing one."
She had discussed it with Wei Yanqing. If the ghost realm suddenly came over, this place would remain an ordinary world with nothing of value. They would only be able to obtain some ghost crystals from the original inhabitants killing ghosts, as well as ordinary supplies.
Even ordinary supplies are readily available to players in Obsidian City. The prices aren't high, but they add up over time.
“This ghost crystal…” Yuan Tianyu hesitated.
It's normal to offer a reward to a monster if you have something to ask of them, but the Ghost Crystal is an extremely important thing. He doesn't believe that monsters kill other monsters simply because they can't stand it; there must be other benefits involved. So, when he gave it to the Ghost Crystal, he was a little unsure.
“Mr. Yuan, it’s not a good thing for you to keep that ghost crystal. The energy it contains cannot be extracted and applied. In the end, it can only be used for biological experiments. Believe me, once the energy of the ghost crystal is transferred to living organisms and this starts, the turmoil your world will experience will be no better than the invasion of the ghost realm.”
The remaining energy in the fallen world is abundant, but its nature is peculiar and abnormally volatile. Absorption must be done with caution; even a player who is not good at absorbing energy cannot withstand it, let alone these ordinary people.
Yuan Tianyu nodded silently, "I will talk to them properly. Ghost Crystals will definitely be included, but as for how much we can get, Miss Rong, I can't decide that."
Rong Yi didn't seem to care much. "I know, I'll handle it. We'll call them ourselves when the time comes, just make sure the police don't call us in for questioning."
She didn't care how much Yuan Tianyu could gain, because when it was time to leave the instance world, as the one currently in control of the Ghost Realm, she could reclaim the energy belonging to this planet at any time.
At that time, nothing about the ghost realm will remain in this world.
Yuan Tianyu was taken away by the list she gave him. When he opened the door, he saw a row of bodyguards. After seeing them off, she went to the kitchen.
"We've finished talking," Wei Yanqing said calmly.
Rong Yi held the magazine and read it intently. "Yes, I was hesitant about Ghost Crystal, but it's okay, I've already been warned."
Having explained the disadvantages of researching ghost crystals, Yuan Tianyu conveyed the message, and that was enough; once they collected it, they wouldn't hold onto it so much.

After this experience, Rong Yi realized how different the players' mindsets were. Some players retained basic moral values even after experiencing multiple dungeons, while others were completely reckless and indifferent.
However, she didn't care about the other party's morality, but she did witness the players' exceptional talent.
For example, now.
They happened to witness a hunt between players. Compared to their usual running on foot, the female player, dressed in red leather armor, moved from one location to another in an instant, as if skipping through frames.
Not only that, she also threw out a red semi-circular scimitar. The scimitar sliced through the air, leaving a five- or six-centimeter-long wound behind the player being chased, before spinning back to its owner's hand.
Rong Yi almost couldn't help but give a polite round of applause.
Having dealt with her prey, the female player turned to look at the two of them. "I've seen you on TV before. My name is Chai Zhen." She tossed her long braid, which was tied up high like a plait.
"Hello, we're just passing by," Rong Yi said succinctly.
Chai Zhen has typical willow-leaf eyes with an inherently alluring quality. "I just wanted to say hello to the beautiful lady and say goodbye." She had a gorgeous manicure, which sparkled as she shook her fingers to say goodbye to Rong Yi.
He even winked at Wei Yanqing.
As the others turned to leave, Rong Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You're quite charming." When Chai Zhen blinked, she felt Wei Yanqing's body tremble slightly.
Wei Yanqing looked utterly dejected: "Stop laughing. We still haven't figured out if that person was simply killing us or if they were like us."
Players often rob each other, and the chance of a direct kill increases as strength improves.
"It would be good if they really did that, saving us the trouble of running around looking for them, and just taking care of it by chance."
It's past 8 PM now, and most people are out and about in crowded places like shopping malls or pedestrian streets. What happened here on this less developed suburban road might not be noticed until later.
The two glanced at the body, but ultimately made a phone call to have it disposed of, so as not to frighten innocent passersby.
They've been patrolling the capital city, making the players there aware that the two specifically target players who want to fight the natives. Recently, their wild behavior has become somewhat more subdued.
I had just hung up the phone when I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
Rong Yi calmly put away his phone, but Wei Yanqing didn't lower his hand from his chin.
"We're all players, why help the natives of the dungeon world and get ourselves killed!"
He said those harsh words, but nothing else happened afterward.
The two turned around at the same time and found four players gathered there, all of them holding guns. It wasn't that they didn't want to shoot upon meeting, but that Wei Yanqing had all the triggers under control.
They glanced at the gun, then at the two men, and said, "If you're so capable, don't try this trick!"
Wei Yanqing let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't like close combat, so he walked to the side and said, "Let me loosen your muscles."
Rong Yi took off his coat and tossed it to Wei Yanqing, who caught it steadily. "I want barbecue for supper, especially grilled ribs."
Once these four issues are resolved, today's KPI will be exceeded.
The four players switched guns to try, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't pull the trigger. They realized that using firearms to take down the two men in front of them was hopeless, so they had no choice but to put away their guns and fight hand-to-hand.
The one running in the lead took a detour, wanting to deal with Wei Yanqing first, who prevented them from firing.
Rong Yi wasn't about to let him pass. He flashed forward, grabbed the other man's arm, and pulled him forward. With his other hand, he locked the man's chin and pushed him outward. With both hands acting in opposite directions, the first "lucky one" broke his neck.
The sight of the fallen figure made the three people behind him stop in their tracks.
"It's too late to run now," Wei Yanqing said abruptly, completely cutting off the escape route for the remaining three players.
The three gritted their teeth, none of them daring to go first. Rong Yi simply picked one himself and ran over quickly. The other two immediately moved away from this unlucky guy.
This player had no choice but to enhance his body and grow taller. Rong Yi remained calm and stepped forward with a roundhouse kick. The unlucky guy, despite his large physique, couldn't withstand it and fell backward to the ground.
