An Jingzhi's attitude determined the attitudes of these villagers.
This group of players went out to find out the news, but all returned empty-handed.
No matter what they asked, the villagers looked happy and said nothing, or they talked about trivial things in the countryside, such as who stole his chicken, who picked two extra vegetables from his house, who ran to his house to watch the fun, and so on. The players inquired for a whole morning but got nothing.
At noon, someone reported all the players' affairs to An Jingzhi.
"Every one of these people looks like a bad person. They're beating around the bush and I don't know what they're trying to find out."
The villagers don’t know that the big boss has a weakness, but that doesn’t stop them from protecting An Jingzhi’s information.
Apart from the unnecessary information revealed at the beginning, they couldn't reveal the rest even if they wanted to, after all, they themselves didn't know it.
An Jingzhi suddenly thought of an idea. He said to everyone, "If they want to find out information from you again, you can selectively tell them some information, but you have to charge them. Sell one piece of information for 5,000 points."
Mrs. Lin was a little confused. "It's so expensive, how can they buy it? What information should we tell them? What if they're not satisfied after we tell them, and then they're so upset about their points that they kill us?"
An Jingzhi smiled and said, "As long as it's information about me, you can tell anyone you want, or you can make up some half-truths and mix them in. 5,000 points is a bit expensive, but it won't make them angry. Besides, some of our information is real. It's not our fault that they can't analyze it to find anything useful."
Lai San was still terrified. The memory of the player running into his house and slashing his neck was still there. He touched his neck and even felt a slight pain. "Jingzhi, is this really possible? And what exactly are they trying to do by gathering this information?"
An Jingzhi explained, "These players still get points for surviving the five days safely, but they get even more points for killing the big boss, so they don't care about the 20,000 points. Now that I, the big boss, am exposed right in front of them, it's a bit of a temptation for players desperately searching for big bosses in other dungeons, so they'll definitely try to find a way to kill me."
"They're trying to get information from you in the hope of finding my weakness, but don't worry, they won't find it."
An Jingzhi, the big boss, was originally obtained by Xiao Qi through a system loophole. How could there be any loophole? So he was naturally not afraid of others trying to find out about him. They were bound to return empty-handed.
The old village chief was a little worried when he heard this. "They're all coming for you. If we sell your information to them, will they find anything useful?"
An Jingzhi said confidently, "Don't worry, I am invincible in this dungeon."
After saying that, he allocated some permissions to everyone, allowing them to temporarily store the points they traded with players.
After hearing An Jingzhi's confident words, everyone was no longer worried.
…
After a whole morning of searching the player's residence, they returned empty-handed and were all a little discouraged.
"These villagers won't say anything. They either answer questions about cows and horses or talk about useless trivial matters."
"Aside from the little information about An Jingzhi that we and other players bought, we haven't found out anything at all."
"What should we do, Boss? How about we just grab a villager and interrogate him?"
The others were all tempted by the player's proposal.
The middle-aged bearded man refused. "No, everyone is pretending to be ignorant right now. They must be on guard against us. If we go to arrest them, we might end up losing everything."
"Yeah, I heard there was a team that tried to capture the villagers and interrogate them, but they were wiped out by the big boss. We've already paid points, and if we just die like that, it would be a huge loss. I suggest we try harder. At worst, we can give it a try on the last day. If there's any real danger, we can just find a place to hide and wait for the cycle to end. Even if we don't get as many points as killing the big boss, we can still get points for surviving for five days."
The player's proposal was agreed by others.
They decided to go again in the afternoon, but this time they learned their lesson. They endured the pain and exchanged some food with the system, hoping to build a good relationship with them through food.
After all, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Maybe you can get something out of them.
But they didn't expect that in the afternoon this group of villagers would actually propose a deal.
"What? 5000 points for one question? Why don't you just go and grab them?! Do you know what 5000 points can do? Do you know how hard it is to earn 5000 points?" A player's face flushed as he looked at the smiling old lady Lin opposite him.
Old Lady Lin looked nonchalant. "Hey, young man, why are you so angry? I'm just saying it. If you're willing, you're willing. If you're not willing, you're not willing. No one's forcing you. Why are you taking your anger out on an old woman like me? You don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. What's wrong with young people these days?"
This player was so angry and furious at what he said, "Respect the elderly and love the young?" Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a human thing. Are you normal people? Besides, respecting the elderly and loving the young in a dungeon world? Or are you just afraid that you won't die quickly enough?
Often these elderly people or young children are the most dangerous in the dungeon world.
The player couldn't make up his mind and left angrily.
The players gathered not far away, discussing while watching the villagers chatting at the village entrance.
"I was originally thinking of giving them something to eat, maybe getting something useful out of them, but who knew they'd just reveal their true intentions and go after our points? 5,000 points for one piece of information, how is this any different from robbery?!"
"Exactly. Is it easy for us to earn those few points? We work so hard to earn them. They can earn 5,000 points just by asking a question. I want to do something as good as this!"
The tattooed man said, "How about we give it a try first? See the quality of the information they give you before making a judgment? After all, we probably won't get anything out of them if we keep asking."
Some players said to the tattooed man unhappily, "Try it? Then go ahead and try it."
The tattooed man's teammates were dissatisfied. "Why are we the ones trying? This is a question everyone should ask. Why are we the only ones to get points?"
"That's right, the points have to be shared equally. Why should we pay? Are we bullying others?"
The players from both teams started arguing.
