Chapter 61 No People, Only Gold (9) A Long Life, and...
Gao Mengtang woke up from his sleep, confused and not knowing what happened. He opened the system panel and took a look.
After [Identity Number: 000 Blind], there is an additional broken medal, and behind the medal is the words [Ranking: 100].
Check the comprehensive score table. The horizontal axis of the table includes: combat power, dungeon experience, comprehensive intelligence, popularity value... and so on.
The vertical axis is the data corresponding to each part.
Gao Mengtang's combat power is 6, copy experience is 2, comprehensive intelligence is 88, and his popularity value stands out, reaching an astonishing 366.
While sleeping, it suddenly jumped to the 100th place?
I can't figure it out. Forget it, go to sleep first. Gao Mengtang fell asleep again.
When he woke up the next day, Bai Jie used his screen-peeking skills to understand the whole story.
Wei Wei smiled faintly: "I know Heiou's public opinion work too well. First, they point out one of your shortcomings, such as hypocrisy, to plant a seed of suspicion. When they find something wrong with you, they will say that you are hypocritical and profit-seeking. When your popularity among the public becomes bad, they will label you as a villain who flatters the superiors and bullies the inferiors and treats you favorably."
"Unfortunately, Team Leader Si's first step has achieved some unexpected results." Wei Wei squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of smoke. "I recruited her into Heiou and trained her. Fortunately, I didn't train her to be a pillar of the country."
The comment control team's rhetoric was "Although I like the blind man very much, but..."
It's like saying, "As much as I like paper money, it's inconvenient."
Even though I admit a certain shortcoming, I still like it! As long as I like it, it will be counted towards the popularity value.
The Black Tower system can read minds, but the player who posted the comments is on Earth, at the edge of the Black Tower system's control range, and there are too many comments to process, so it can only roughly determine whether the comments were posted voluntarily and whether there was any coercion or inducement.
Those who control the comments, of course, do so voluntarily. This is their job.
Therefore, all of them are counted into Gao Mengtang’s popularity value.
12 Ghost Shadow Charm Aura, and recruited Wei Wei and Duan Song under his command. These things combined have already won him the favor of some high-level players. With the popularity value given by Scarlett for free, he jumped to the honor list.
"What if they say they hate Brother Mengtang again? What should we do?" He Lun asked worriedly.
Wei Wei smiled and shook his head: "Sijia Li would not do that. She would go back on her word and change her mind every day. Where would she put her face? She would not even delete this post."
After a whole night, the post was still up. Wei Wei's guess was very reliable.
It’s gratifying to be on the Honor Roll.
Gao Mengtang was overjoyed, but he started to worry again. It was a little embarrassing that he could never make it to the honor list. It was so embarrassing to be on the honor list and then fall off.
He barely made it onto the Honor List, ranking at the dangerous 100th. The competition is fierce, and if he doesn't find a way to maintain his popularity, he will soon fall out.
What kind of people do the top 30% of players like the most? The answer is clear: strong ones.
In the Black Tower game, being bad is the original sin.
You have to be strong, unquestionably strong, and unconcealedly strong, in order to win the likes of most people.
Gao Mengtang murmured to himself: "I still have to think of a way to make them think that I am very strong."
Mind control? It won't work, after all, he doesn't know how to do mind control. By chance, he can trick a few NPCs and low-end players, but he won't be noticed by the strong ones.
As he was thinking, a buzzing sound came from the sky. Looking up, he saw that it was a helicopter. It started as a small black dot in the distance and gradually expanded, passing over their heads and heading north.
"What is that?" Heron looked up. "It's flying north. Where is it going?"
The small blue building is just north of Ritian Industrial Park.
"It seems like they are heading to the blue building," Wei Wei leaned out from the balcony and looked out, "Let's follow them and find a chance to sneak into the building and spy on them."
Gao Mengtang: "Don't bother you. Let me do it this time."
"You?" Wei Wei swallowed his questioning words, fearing to hurt the leader's self-esteem.
"Let me try." Gao Mengtang said with a smile.
He lowered his eyelashes and connected to the shared space of the camp, where the enemy rabbit was sleeping soundly.
"Mengmeng, can you still transform into a human form? How long can you do it?"
＊
North of Ritian Industrial Park, a small blue building.
Gao Mengtang found a suitable position: "How is it? Is the light good? Will the photo turn out good?"
Duan Song nodded impatiently: "It looks good, it looks good, senior is always good-looking."
Clearing his throat and straightening his back, Gao Mengtang uttered two words in a deep voice: "Go."
The wind suddenly blew up his clothes. Behind him, a cool moon-white light appeared, rolling like a whirlpool, and the surrounding air distorted.
The gentle breeze in the early morning suddenly turned into a violent gale with the power to destroy everything in its path. The branches and leaves in the sky were flying, and the sparrows on the grass were startled. A scarlet heat wave exploded.
The sticky, bright red liquid gathered together again, mixed with the moon-white cool air, and violently collided and vibrated. All the strange phenomena disappeared in an instant, and Su Ji Meng, with silver hair and gray eyes, stood behind him.
"Take it."
Gao Mengtang raised his hand, and an eyeball floated in his palm.
New skills after the evolution of the Hundred-Eyed Wizard: [Be careful]
Regardless of where he places his eyes, Gao Mengtang will be able to obtain a 360° view of the area without blind spots.
Su Ji took the eyeball with both hands, leaned over and whispered in Gao Mengtang's ear:
“#'':@"'? ? ? ? ''”
This is the real language of the other world, with a strange and long tone, containing a large number of consonants and tones that are extremely rare on Earth. Some of the sounds don't even seem to be uttered by humans. It sounds obscure, dark, and terrifying.
Like a bloody oath, a curse coming from an alien world underground.
But in fact, what Su Ji said was: I want five carrots and a runny fried egg for dinner.
Gao Mengtang didn't understand, but he still had to pretend, he nodded calmly and said nothing. After all, he didn't speak Esperanto.
The silver-haired man had a face as bright as the moon. The left side of his face was quickly corroded by the scarlet liquid, with the bridge of his nose as the dividing line. His skin was like solidified magma, his hair fell out, and his left eye turned completely white. He looked like an Asura demon.
The next moment, no one could see clearly how Su Ji moved. Even Duan Song's abnormal dynamic vision ability could not capture it. All they saw was Su Ji's phantom like an electric current, appearing and disappearing from time to time. In one breath, he moved more than 400 meters.
In rabbit form, his movement speed is enough to fight with Duan Song for 10 minutes. After changing back to his original form, his speed can only be described as "beyond common sense".
The reinforced concrete of the blue building blocked Su Ji's way, but he ignored it and stepped straight in.
On the other side of the wall was a well-lit corridor with a dozen men in black patrolling. A man appeared out of nowhere, scaring them all.
What's more, this person has half beauty's face and half Shura's face, half human and half ghost, which is particularly terrifying.
"What the hell!"
"What are you asking? Shoot!"
The thugs disguised as agents had poor marksmanship, but they had plenty of firepower. The gunshots were as dense as firecrackers, and the flames spread out in all directions, forming a fine net.
But the next moment after the gunshot, Su Ji leaped up and went straight through the ceiling and disappeared.
"Where are the others?!"
"He, he went to the second floor!"
"What should we do? We don't have permission to go to the second floor. There are..."
"Report it to the boss quickly!"
The blue building has six floors in total, and dozens of men in black are guarding the first to fifth floors. Some of them are holding guns and guarding the windows to prevent people from climbing the wall. Others are patrolling everywhere, and Su Ji's appearance scared them out of their wits.
Su Ji Meng didn't know what a "gun" was, but he thought this toy that could fire small steel balls was interesting, much more fun than Tangtang's cat teaser. He didn't forget to grab one while dodging the bullets.
"】↑.:#/??"
What are these?
Su Ji opened his palm and saw the bullet he had caught.
He subconsciously spoke Esperanto, but he never expected that the man in black would burst into tears and his veins would bulge out when he heard this. His face quickly became red with blood.
"@??/?!?"
Lend it to me to play with.
The man in black let out a sharp explosion. Then he lay on the ground, struggling, screaming, and rolling around. Blood was flowing from all his orifices.
Dead.
Su Ji tilted his head and looked at him for a while: ")_#"
strangeness.
Bang. The body exploded. The internal organs were scattered all over the floor.
Su Ji stepped over the muddy corpse without hesitation. For the moon, there is no death, and it does not quite understand the idea of "the dead are the greatest".
He walked away, stepping over the corpse as if it was nothing, as if in his eyes, it was just a pool of mud. And indeed it was.
Humans and sludge are both made of mysterious elements in the universe, and there is no difference. At least that's what the moon creatures think.
Arrived at the sixth floor smoothly.
There were no black-clad guards here, but a group of real agents in combat uniforms. Su Ji followed the human scent, found the room with the most people, and entered through the wall.
The room was more than 200 square meters, soundproofed, and equipped with dozens of cameras. The room was packed with people, including reporters, photographers, lighting technicians, assistants, and some well-dressed fat men with serious looks, which were often seen in the news. They should be officials. All of them had their backs to Su Ji, surrounding the two people in the middle of the room, busying themselves.
Every breath of air he inhaled felt like choking smoke. The environment of the game world was not suitable for Su Ji to survive. He estimated that he could only maintain his human form for three minutes.
Su Ji flicked his finger, and the reconnaissance eyeball silently blended into a pile of wires.
Mission accomplished.
Su Ji had no intention of leaving. He stared at the camera curiously.
In the middle of the room, a zombie-like person was tied to a chair and was struggling. His skin was blue and his muscles were swollen.
The other person looked like he was in a high position with a dignified figure. He wore a blue tie and had a heavy expression, as if he was facing a critical moment. When the zombies screamed, his sturdy body stiffened slightly for a moment and then returned to normal.
"Boss Xu, are you ready?"
Xu Wei adjusted his blue tie and nodded.
“Shooting begins!”
People holding microphones rushed over, the camera lit up red, and tears appeared in Xu Wei's eyes.
Su Ji was so curious that he stepped over a bunch of wires and several metal boxes, stood behind a photographer, and patted him on the shoulder.
This time, Su Ji finally remembered to speak Mandarin: "What are you doing?"
The photographer turned around, his face pale.
The intercom on the staff's waist suddenly rang: "Warning! Warning! Someone's breaking in!"
"Zhongzhou Special Agent Team, no abnormalities were found on the sixth floor."
"You! You..." The photographer stared at Su Ji, his whole body shaking.
Su Ji didn't wait for his answer. The poisonous air made it impossible for him to maintain his human form. A living man disappeared out of thin air.
"What's wrong?" asked the photographer's assistant.
The photographer rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating: "No, nothing."
He pretended to be calm and adjusted the camera, but suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and his limbs twitching.
"Quick! Help him out! And get a photographer to take over!"
"Oh my god, these zombies are freaking out again. I'm going to have a heart attack again from filming zombies every day."
A dwarf rabbit, smaller than a palm, crawled into the tin box, revealing its two furry ear tips, and continued to peek.
At the same time, in the tangled ball of wires, the Hundred-Eyed Wizard opened his eyes.
＊
Gao Mengtang closed his eyes and connected with the Eye of Detection.
The Eye of Investigation was equipped with an eavesdropping function. Xu Wei's cry rang in his ears: "I only have this one son. A disaster has befallen me. My child has also been infected with the crystal pump virus..."
The interviewer asked: "Mr. Xu, does your son usually drink Blue Needle?"
Xu Wei said in a tearful voice: "Yes, he likes it. The blue needle can boost his spirits. But after the crystal pump appeared, he thought that the crystal pump was less harmful to the body, so he switched to a drinking water crystal pump."
The perspective moved, Gao Mengtang zoomed in and took a look at the script scattered on the table. The title was "Crystal Zombie Storm"
When the Crystal Zombie case happened, Gao Mengtang's parents passed away. Immersed in grief, he did not pay attention to the incident. He only learned some relevant knowledge before entering the dungeon.
After the incident, the relevant agencies filmed a documentary to warn the public about the dangers of crystal pumps. The name of the documentary is "Crystal Zombie Storm".
It seems that this is the filming site of the documentary.
"Okay, next one!"
The scene has been set up in the corner of the room, and Xu Wei is sitting on a chair, accepting an interview.
"The damage that the crystal pump has caused to my family is immeasurable," Xu Wei said with tears in his eyes. "My son may not be able to be saved!"
He cried out in grief, with his face buried in his hands.
"Cut! Boss Xu, you have controlled your emotions well." The director said, "Boss, please accept my condolences."
Xu Wei raised his head, tears still on his cheeks, and his eyes returned to their original heavy and serious state.
The documentary is not very good, it just repeatedly emphasizes the bad impact of the crystal pump, how miserable the victims' families are, and how despicable the mastermind is who injects addictive drugs into the crystal pump for profit.
During the filming, gunshots were heard outside the room. The host said sadly: "The once prosperous Ritian Industrial Park has now become a hell on earth that is burning thousands of lives..."
The main quest requires players to find out the mastermind behind the poisoning case. Gao Mengtang controls the perspective and observes everywhere.
He first moved closer to observe every detail on Xu Wei's face. The boss of Blue Needle Corporation and the father who lost his only son had a very rigid expression, even his eyes did not move. Beside him, his son who had transformed into a zombie kept roaring.
Gao Mengtang observed Xu Wei's son closely again and concluded that he had indeed turned into a zombie, and the degree of mutation was high. His facial features and skull were deformed, and it was not a fake.
The shooting process was repeated over and over again, and Gao Mengtang controlled the field of vision, passing through the ceiling and observing the helicopter on the rooftop platform.
If I'm not mistaken, this helicopter just brought Xu Wei to the Ritian Industrial Park.
The range of the reconnaissance eye is limited. After passing through the ceiling, it approaches the limit distance, and Gao Mengtang cannot check the helicopter carefully.
An hour passed quickly and the reconnaissance eye was about to become ineffective.
The last scene shows the enemy rabbit coming close to the eyeball and rubbing it with its fluffy little body.
"…playful."
System: “The highlights have been edited and uploaded to the platform.”
＊
Yesterday, Gao Mengtang reached the 100th place on the honor list, attracting a wide range of attention from front-row players.
I have heard of Gao Mengtang's name before, but I can't watch all the videos of players in the top 100 of the honor list. The students in the front row have only heard of this name. After searching, they found that he was not even in the top 100 of the official Black Tower, and they had never clicked on his channel.
By last night, the vast majority of them had faced [000 Blind Men] for the first time, and the number of comments and barrages increased, with some praising and some criticizing.
King of Rolls A: This guy is quite something. He is blind, but has a good sense of smell, especially for the smell of blood. This is very useful in dungeons, equivalent to half a [815 werewolf]
King B: The spirit value is atmospheric, but [000 Blind] is a pure waste ID card, with no personal skills, and it is hard to say the upper limit, at most it ranks in the top 70. I suggest that he change his ID card. But after changing the card, the spirit value may not be 999.
The identity card is linked to the individual's attributes in reality. For example, in reality, if there is a weak and thin person, then he is most suitable for the [302 Patient] card. If it is changed to [157 Fitness Coach], the effect will not be very good.
King C: Very calm and good at judgment. But the fighting ability is too poor. It can get by in the early stage, but not in the middle and late stages. There are only a few people who are willing to follow a weakling forever. The Black Tower game is a primitive jungle, and the strong survive.
As soon as this comment was posted, Su Ji Meng showed up.
: woc What is this? The summon of the blind?
: Oh my god, isn't his speed too fast? Even the Flash can't compare to him.
: Can also pass through walls!!
King of Volume C: The blind man has another trick up his sleeve? This Shura beauty has something special. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed. If he is the summon of the blind man, my rating of the blind man can be raised from D- to B+
But there is still a question, why didn't such a terrifying trump card come out earlier? Why did it wait until now?
A player replied to King C: Watch carefully, the NPC died suddenly after hearing what Shura Beauty said. I guess this summoned creature has the ability to not only move quickly and pass through walls, but also [Word Spirit]!
As soon as the word "Yan Ling" was uttered, everyone was shocked.
This was a skill that could easily cause big trouble. If he accidentally said "I'm sorry, go to hell", the players around him might not live long.
Therefore, people with the ability to use words would like to sew their mouths shut.
: You see, the person in the picture speaks a completely unfamiliar language. Why? He must have had the ability to speak words since he was a child, and he accidentally said "die" and caused a disaster!
: The blind man took him in and taught him a new language of his own, which would weaken his ability to speak. He said three sentences before the NPC suddenly died, didn't he!
: Do the blind have such a past?
: He is an ancient god. In his long life as a god, he has encountered so many things...
: That blind man must have obtained a large number of summons! The blind man's strength is immeasurable! It's just that he hasn't shown it yet, so he ranks low!
Among all the forces, followers can change their minds, and believers have a low chance of converting. Only summons will never leave unless the player releases them.
In other words, summons are vassals of players. No matter how strong their followers or believers are, they only affect the popularity value and have nothing to do with other evaluation data. But if the summons are strong, it is equivalent to the blind being strong.
Wei Wei's He Luo is a summoned creature, and the system will automatically calculate He Luo's power into Wei Wei.
: Off topic, does anyone think that the scene of the blind man standing on the hillside is beautiful, and the lighting is really good? I took a screenshot and used it as a wallpaper.
: The ghost-faced beauty can catch bullets with her bare hands! NB! Really NB! Even Duan Song can't do that with his speed.
: I checked and there is no player who looks half-human and half-ghost in the top 100 of the honor list. The silver-haired guy should be a summon of the blind.
There are many ways to obtain summons, such as becoming a summon after salvation, summons attached to skills, sewing, treasure chests, turntables...
: The blind man is specialized in supernatural powers, and it is easier to obtain summons. The spirit value will continue to be consumed during the summoning period, and the blind man's spirit value is still very high. They complement each other, which is quite powerful [thumbs up]
: No wonder Black Tower ranks him in the top 100, it's not for nothing. Pay attention.
＊
In the comprehensive score, the popularity value increased from 366 to 456, a sudden increase of nearly 100 points, and the values of other dimensions remained unchanged. The ranking increased from 100 to 99.
The enemy rabbit is certainly not a summon of the blind man, he is an independent little rabbit. Otherwise, Gao Mengtang's combat power would not be a pitiful 6.
As for what Su Ji was, Gao Mengtang couldn't explain it clearly. He was a moon creature, and naturally had the ability to travel through worlds, and could enter the game world without the help of an identity card.
Unfortunately, the battery is too weak and can only be turned into its original form for a short period of time.
For the rest of this copy, Su Ji can only exist in the form of a palm-sized rabbit.
The image of the reconnaissance eye disappeared and the vision became blurry again.
Duan Song: "What's going on in the blue building?"
Gao Mengtang rubbed the little rabbit carefully: "To shoot the documentary, Blue Needle boss Xu Wei is here too."
Duan Song touched his chin with one hand: "The system asked us to find evidence of the mastermind. Xu Wei's only son died from the crystal zombie virus, so he should not be the mastermind. Qian Hao is more likely to be the suspect."
After listening to his analysis, Gao Mengtang said "hmm".
Passing by the warehouse, Gao Mengtang went in to take a look.
Qian Hao was still imprisoned in the basement, and Lucky and the priest were guarding him. The number of men in black increased to four, and when they saw Gao Mengtang coming, they all looked a little wary.
"Chief, where does that helicopter come from?" The pastor asked quietly where no one was paying attention.
She called Gao Mengtang "chief" with the intention of getting closer to him, but Gao Mengtang didn't care and repeated what he had seen and heard in the blue building.
"You are worthy of being the leader. You have sharp eyes and sharp ears and know everything about everything. No secret can be hidden from you!" The pastor praised him highly.
Sharp hearing...sharp eyesight?
[000 Blind Man] disagreed. He asked, "Are there any new discoveries here?"
The pastor shook his head regretfully. "Same old same old thing, watching over the bald old man every day. No progress."
It would take some time to shoot the documentary, and it was unknown how long Xu Wei would stay in the park. Gao Mengtang said, "You should find out some news about Xu Wei recently..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Qian Hao, who was tied to the chair, suddenly struggled: "Xu Wei? You mean Xu Wei?"
The group looked at him in surprise.
"Is Xu Wei here?" Qian Hao asked anxiously, "Can I see him?"
The system prompt sounded: "The Monster Book has been updated."
An emotional male voice full of emotion recites automatically in my ears.
[He was originally an old naughty boy who loved scientific research, but the trick of fate quietly changed the trajectory of his life.]
[When his close friend Xu Wei was preparing a new hobby product, Blue Needle, he was still guarding the poor laboratory, repeating the same work day after day; when Xu Wei became the chairman of Blue Needle Corporation, he was still guarding the scratched blackboard and podium, giving lectures year after year.]
[Xu Wei started from scratch and when he bought his third villa, he had just paid off his mortgage.]
[Mysterious! Fate’s arrangement. He has a PhD, but he is far behind Xu Wei, who dropped out of high school.]
[Who can say for sure? The orbit is predetermined by fate, and everyone has a different speed.]
[Why complain, why lament? Because he will also be heading for the acceleration zone of his life.]
[Unfortunately, this is a wrong path arranged by an invisible hand!]
