Black 4
At this moment, the noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet. The group of people stopped making noise and stood on both sides in an orderly manner. A man came out. He was the husband of the leader of one of the camps and belonged to the upper-middle class. These people were capable and not just clever. For a moment, everyone was very respectful.
"We are late." Several boys' voices sounded at an inopportune time. Jiang Wu appeared at the door at some point and was stunned to see Jiang Lai. The man glanced over here and saw that they were four teenagers. He nodded lightly, obviously not taking those little kids seriously.
"Damn it..." An Xiaozhe clenched his fists, revealing the typical angry face of a hot-blooded comic follower: "How dare you look down on us like this."
Jiang Wu patted the boy's shoulder helplessly: "Don't say that." Several people walked over to Jiang Lai and sat down. Jiang Lai felt nauseous and turned away with a stiff expression before he even sat down. Jiang Wu wanted to say something, but was ignored by the girl.
The man announced the whereabouts of ghosts in recent days. The atmosphere in the hall became heavier with every sentence. Almost everyone had a teammate killed by ghosts. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid now. No one could guarantee that they would be able to see the sun tomorrow.
The expressions of the three boys also became serious. They were just a very small faction, and Jiang Wu could barely be considered an intermediate player. He was still a long way from protecting the entire team. But joining a new faction was not that simple. After all, the resources in the dungeon world were limited, and there was a price to pay if you wanted to cling to the thighs of the strong.
"Everyone, we have no other choice." A man in a suit shook his red wine glass, and the younger brother behind him respectfully poured him more wine. "Maybe it's like they said, everything is arranged by the Lord God." This "they" refers to the players who had sacrificed their lives and shouted desperate slogans before they died.
No one had ever seen the Lord's true appearance, no one had ever heard the Lord's voice, and most players didn't even know what kind of creature it was. The man's face showed a look of regret and longing: "I'm sorry."
"Yeah?"
"Huh?" The man turned his head subconsciously, and a sharp blade whizzed past his nose, sharp and cold. He trembled in shock, and at the same time, a cry of pain sounded behind him. In the blink of an eye, a splash of hot blood splashed on his face.
The body of the little brother holding the red wine was split in half from the middle. He squirmed a few times with a strong desire to survive, trying to sew it back together from the middle. He shook a few times and shattered to the ground along with the full bottle of red wine.
There were screams all around, and everyone looked towards Jiang Lai's sword-wielding figure. However, soon, the body gradually turned into a pool of black water, and the stench spread to every corner. The man's expression was the first to panic: "Why...?"
"Isn't the ghost right next to you? Why do you say you can't find it?" For the first time, a mocking expression appeared on Jiang Lai's righteous face. "Could it be that you are also..."
"No!" The man was visibly panicking. He couldn't understand why this guy had discovered what had gone so perfectly, even his wife didn't know about it. He used his special eyes to analyze the man's ability, but found that he was just an ordinary swordsman with the most useless physical ability. How could he... ?
The discussions around them grew louder. The man wiped the sweat from his face, forced a smile, and was about to explain something when he was knocked unconscious from behind by another person. The others were terrified but had no opinion at all.
The so-called respect for the top players in the past was nothing more than a primitive admiration and trust. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, no one will be foolish enough to believe this guy. So just wait to be killed.
…………
The entire building stayed awake all night, and the morale of the several camps, which already had their own ulterior motives, became even more divided.
In short, Jiang Lai willingly became Wen Shu's first believer, and all the san value lost when thinking was incorporated into Wen Shu's cloak.
Whenever this happened, Yu Wan still gave enough emotional value and clapped his hands: "Host is awesome!"
[Hahahaha, two deceitful charlatans]
[Can someone tell me what happened? Why did Yu Wan end up in a pyramid scheme? You all must not be led astray.]
[The Lord God, preparing to go on a killing spree: That's very bad.]
[Looking forward to the female lead's big votes, vote for mine~]
The audience in the book's world was left bewildered. How could this happen? Could the system really be so effective? Some logically savvy people even wrote thousands of words of frame-by-frame analysis in the comments section, completely attentive. The audience in the livestream room was thrilled, laughing endlessly in the comments, while a wave of gifts poured into the backstage.
Seeing the mission gradually going astray, the mother system couldn't help but get anxious; this method was indeed good, but it was not as convenient as taking the group pet route. She was thinking about these heroines wholeheartedly, and she also felt that the host should not suffer too much.
Girls should be sweet and soft, wear little skirts, drink tea with their friends, chat, and hang out with beautiful women. The current practice of swindling and cheating is completely stigmatizing them.
It was as if a thorn had grown in the heart of the mother system.

"What a waste!"
Inside the Red Agate camp building, a woman was so angry that she smashed a teacup. Her brightly dressed appearance made her unmade-up face look even gloomier. A dozen of her subordinates lowered their heads, not daring to speak a word.
Her idiot husband had gone insane and committed suicide over a single question. Team Agate had just gotten a little better, but they'd lost a key member. Other factions were still eyeing them. Wasn't that just giving their resources away for nothing? The rules of the dungeon didn't allow for human rights. If a player died, they were dead. Even watching a hundred ads wouldn't bring them back!
Faced with her husband's departure, Xiang Rong did not feel any sadness in her heart, but only a sense of anger at her husband's failure to live up to his expectations.
"Sister Xiang, the cause of my brother-in-law's death has been found." A subordinate pushed the door open with his head lowered, holding an iPad in his hand. The video playing on it was the surveillance footage that he had obtained from the hotel staff. Xiang Rong looked over and saw that it was a girl who discovered and exposed everything, and her useless husband was actually knocked unconscious on the spot.
Xiang Rong's mind raced with the same question: how did this girl know? Top players like them wouldn't casually interact with players from other factions, let alone someone so obviously weak. Talking to her would be like helping the poor.
Could there be some other powers they haven't discovered yet? Like premonitions and prophecy? Since everything is under the Lord's control, He should be willing to grant players a few strange powers and watch them kill each other.
As her thoughts raced, the woman's left eye turned blue, emitting a faint blue light, transforming into a heterochromatic pupil. This was her special ability, allowing her to analyze all the data of other people's special abilities. She wanted to see who this girl was.
She had to get rid of this threat as soon as possible before the news spread to other camps.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Shu, who had been missing for a few days, showed up. Several people sat together for dinner. She had a pretty good relationship with her teammates, but no one took the initiative to talk to her.
[It's time to guide the host to change their image], the mother system sent instructions to Yu Wan. In the eyes of these people, Wen Shu was still that brainless vase. The mother system was anxious. If this continued, how could she become the group's favorite? Thoughts flowed, and she came up with a plan, changing the way she said it:
[According to your path, gaining Jiang Lai's temporary faith is useless, and the host's ability will not be improved in the end; cheating and deceiving is not a long-term solution, and you still have to rely on your real ability to survive.]
Yu Wan scratched his face: "Real ability?"
[Jiang Lai is just an ordinary player, you should take a long-term view] The mother system said earnestly: [What the host needs are real connections and resources], not playing tricks to gain temporary benefits. This is not what the heroine should do.
At night, the team set out again. As soon as the group left, Wen Shu put on his invisibility cloak and followed them. An Xiaozhe still hadn't responded, and his impulsiveness was causing trouble.
Yu Wan was offering suggestions. She had been observing him for the past few days. This guy had a very imaginative mind and a lot of ideas, but his IQ was not high enough. All he came up with were brave but foolish things. However, he was not brave either, and most of the time he hid behind Jiang Wu.
This kind of person has the most san value. As long as he can be convinced, the host will not have to worry about the source of san value for the whole year.
Crawling under the host's wide cloak, Yu Wan rolled his eyes around and looked extremely cunning.
