Chapter 69 (Additional update)
An Rou walked into the farm and saw the toilet next to the sauerkraut shed at a glance.
"Men's Restroom" on the left and "Women's Restroom" on the right are clearly written.
"Get rich!"
A familiar, terrified face appeared at my feet, seemingly larger than the pickle jar.
An Rou knocked on its forehead and said, "You idiot! You actually brought the whole toilet back here? Don't you find the smell of eating shit disgusting?!"
Bao Fu grunted in dissatisfaction.
Paopao came out from behind the toilet, covered in blood, and spoke up for Baofu: "Boss, if Baofu hadn't swallowed the toilet along with it, there wouldn't be a body left!"
Because of the toilet wall, those players who used the resurrection card to go online did not have their souls devoured by contact with the sudden wealth.
Players who die in the ghoul wave almost always choose to resurrect early. Resurrecting early and returning online to kill a few more ghouls not only earns more rewards, but also helps them regain the Life Points lost in the death.
"What are the results of the battle?" An Rou asked.
Paopao was excited. "We've far exceeded our plans! We brought back 13 bodies in total, and they've all been dead two or three times. When we put them in the pickle jar, two of them refused to give up and revived prematurely. Seeing my face, they followed your instructions and fed them to the ghouls."
"Isn't it fed properly?" An Rou asked as she walked towards the sauerkraut shed.
"No, I only ate a little bit."
An Rou's gaze swept over the pickle jars. Ignoring the toilet, the sauerkraut shed looked much the same as when she'd left last night. The only difference was that last night's jars were empty, while now, eleven of them were filled with player corpses.
This is the feeling of having enough food at home!
An Rou relaxed and closed her eyes. Countless invisible threads like radio waves appeared in the air, converging into sounds that reached her ears.
[So…hungry…]
[I’m so hungry…]
[I’m so hungry, so hungry, so hungry…]
The sound of sudden wealth is deep and long, like the low background sound in the vast universe.
Wang Da and Zhang Da spoke at a normal speed and sounded confident.
As for the other two rapid ones, they were like a pair of chirping sparrows, revealing their full impatience and desire.
There is no doubt that this is the player that Paopao mentioned who "didn't give up and resurrected early". Now, because of the damage to his soul, he has been transformed into a ghoul and become the third generation of employee under her.
Oh, including the first and second generation Wang Da, it should be the fourth generation.
An Rou turned sideways, opened her eyes, and her gaze fell precisely on the two figures behind the sauerkraut shed.
The two new ghouls looked no different from Wang Da, looking like living people. They were just veiled, their gazes filled with longing flickering from time to time between Paopao and Wang Da.
She longs for Paopao but is afraid of Wang Da.
An Rou was a little surprised: "Are they all Wang Da's children?"
"Yes, they were all divided by Wang Dachui." Paopao laughed.
He had been in the wolf den for too long, and had worked seamlessly with Wang Da for two days straight, so his fear of ghouls had subsided without him noticing. Seeing the two new ghouls looking over at him, they even took two steps towards Wang Da.
I act like, "What can you do to me even if I hold your thighs tightly?"
An Rou frowned: "Didn't you say to feed Bao Bao a little too?"
The sudden wealth has differentiated into several ghouls in succession, and they must be in urgent need of replenishment.
Paopao said aggrievedly: "It's not that I don't give it to you, it's that Brother Baofu doesn't want to eat it, so I let Wang Dachui eat it."
Don’t eat?
Is there a time when ghouls don’t eat souls?
An Rou squatted down and touched Bao Fu's forehead: "Why don't you eat, Bao Bao?"
Bao Fu made a slow and low gurgling sound, but this time, An Rou didn't understand what it meant.
If you don’t want to eat it, then don’t eat it. Now that we have surplus food at home and we are rich, we can eat meat anytime when we are hungry.
An Rou put the matter aside and walked towards Paopao with a smile: "Wow, level 24, almost reaching high bronze level, congratulations."
While the person who killed the ghoul received the most experience, nearby players also gained some. Paopao was running around a lot during this mission, never far from the strangled ghouls, and the accumulated experience he gained was quite impressive.
He scratched his head sheepishly and suddenly pointed at Wang Da: "Wang Dachui has also been upgraded, from C-level to A-level! He needs to eat some more player souls, and when he reaches S-level, he can evolve into ghost magic."
"Really?"
An Rou could see through the player's screen and the attribute labels on various items, but she couldn't tell the level of a ghoul. This was probably because she wasn't a player and couldn't activate system notifications.
She stopped in front of Wang Da and patted his handsome face. "You did well this time, and you deserve a promotion. Keep up the good work. The higher your level, the easier it will be to hunt. Do you understand?"
Perhaps it was due to the upgrade, Wang Da looked much calmer and more composed than before, no longer tense up all the time, and looked more like a living person.
However, although An Rou said this, her tone did not show that she took Wang Da's promotion too seriously.
So what if it's an A. level ghoul?
For a high-level ghoul, just one is enough, and they are absolutely loyal.
As for Wang Da, this ghoul who can hide in the crowd and whose IQ increases as his level increases, is actually an unstable factor for An Rou.
A ghoul develops a sinister and fickle human heart?
There is nothing more terrifying than this.
-
In the entire Soul World, An Rou is probably the only one who doesn't take A-level ghouls seriously.
With the flour mill as the center, a blockade was set up within a one-kilometer radius to stop nearby players who came rushing over after hearing the news.
"The mission is over, let's go!"
"Then why are you blocking it?"
"Does Oli need to explain to you what he did? Get lost!"
…
The entire flour mill was almost razed to the ground, with black smoke filling the ruins.
The players participating in the mission were divided into two groups: the larger group comprised members of the Ouli and Yinlai guilds, and the smaller group consisted of the Governor's guests. Amidst the rubble, players who had died and logged off were constantly resurrecting, unsure of their current situation and muttering to themselves as they made their way to their respective camps.
The guild players formed a big circle, with Captain Li and Tang Lang inside.
"Everyone, check the historical messages. If the mission details say the ghoul level is A, raise your hands."
Only a handful of players raised their hands, including Herring.
Herring glanced around and said, "Minister, these are the first people to come here."
Tang Lang also finished his check and nodded, "Yin Lai too."
"That is to say, when the first group of members arrived, the A-level ghoul was still here, but when our second group arrived, it was gone." Captain Li frowned.
"It should be," Herring said. "According to the rules of the game, it either left or died, so it didn't appear in the mission details received by the second group of people."
Elsewhere, the Governor confirmed the same thing and shook his head thoughtfully, "The highest level of the first group is only Silver. Since it has already triggered a ghoul wave, it is entirely possible that all players will be wiped out with just a little time to deal with it. It's impossible to escape."
"Governor, you mean it was killed?" A visitor's eyes gleamed with greed. "Someone pocketed the A-rank ghoul reward?"
He glanced at his companions, obviously suspecting that one of them was eating alone.
The others were immediately dissatisfied.
"Why are you looking at me? I've died twice! I'm the only one eating alone!"
"Exactly. I was almost eaten by a ghoul. If I hadn't been ruthless enough to commit suicide and log off in time, I wouldn't even be qualified to go online now!"
"Among us, you're the highest level and the fastest runner, right? You're the one who gets to eat alone!"
The Governor's face darkened: "Alright, stop arguing!"
It was his habit to review the mission afterward. Now, the entire mission details had turned gray, meaning that regardless of whether there was an A-rank or S-rank ghoul, the flour mill mission was over. Even if the visitors argued furiously, it wouldn't change the fact that no one had received the A-rank ghoul reward.
The most likely scenario was that the A-rank ghoul, along with the entire mission's main reward, was in the hands of a certain guild. After all, they had sent hundreds of people and held the home field advantage, so this outcome wasn't surprising.
"Count how many people are missing and help collect the bodies," said the Governor.
Several expressions of disdain fell into his eyes, clearly visible.
"Where is the ocean?" someone asked.
Another person said nonchalantly, "I saw his neck broken by the ghoul tentacles. He should be broken apart. Don't worry about it."
"Oh." The person who asked the question didn't show any emotion.
The Governor's eyes darkened.
Could he really bring this bunch of selfish waifs together to form a guild?
The Governor's gaze shifted and stopped at a guild player not far away.
His weapon was special and came with a passive skill called "Far-away Sound". The conversation between Captain Li and the guild members could be clearly heard.
"Minister, the scene has been searched and no suspicious clues have been found."
"Where's the body?"
"Everything has been collected. The cart will be here soon," the person reporting the incident said, a touch of sadness in his voice. "Minister, only 21 bodies have been found. 34 people are still missing."
The missing people will either become ghouls or have their souls completely devoured by ghouls. There is only one ending - loss of qualification for the game.
Captain Li was silent for a moment, then instructed, "Herring, compile the list and report it to headquarters. Keep an eye on it. Once headquarters has distributed their offline compensation, let me know immediately."
"yes!"
Not far away, Tang Lang had also given his subordinates similar instructions. However, his was a small, personal guild, without a headquarters. All income and expenditure came from the guild's account. And in a sense, the guild's pockets were also his personal pockets.
Establishing a union isn't much different from starting a business in the real world. Once the framework is established, countless mouths are waiting to be fed.
The Governor was suddenly overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness. He closed his eyes and sighed, not even noticing the approaching footsteps.
"Governor," Captain Li said with his signature elegant smile, "I was just doing this for work. I apologize for any offense I caused."
The Governor opened his eyes and said calmly, "Since this is just work, Minister Li doesn't need to apologize."
Captain Li shook his head. "I'm not apologizing for stealing the mission, but for my previous inconsideration in inviting you to lead your troops to Zhongsu Town."
"Then there's no need to apologize," the Governor said. "First, I didn't accept your invitation, and second..."
He paused and said, "A wild guest is just a wild guest after all."
"You..." Captain Li heard a hint of dejection in his tone.
Herring trotted over and said, "Minister, the mayor has gone to the guild hall himself and said he'll see you soon."
He lowered his voice and said, "He was very angry about us eating at the Yong'an Hotel."
Captain Li felt a headache.
He maintains excellent relations with the local NPC management, a feat unmatched in all of Ouli. But what's his purpose? He's just trying to exploit the woes of the city, leveraging the mayor's influence and influence to avoid missing out on any quest leads that appear in Zhongsu Town.
Now that we have An Rou and the Yong'an Hotel, is there any need to work so hard for nothing?
Captain Li didn't think it through for a moment.
"minister?"
"Tell him I'll be back soon." Captain Li said, no longer bothering to chat with the Governor about other trivial matters, and nodded goodbye.
But before he left the scene, the herring caught up with him again.
"Minister, something bad has happened!" His tone was much more flustered than when he mentioned the mayor just now.
Herring directly shared the light screen: "Someone told others about the Yong'an Hotel!"
The light screen stopped at the forum interface.
What kind of magical shop is this? They've been giving out clues for two consecutive days! Today's an A-level ghoul wave!!!
Captain Li's heart skipped a beat.
-
Across the circular first-level security zone, the central city.
The middle building, with nine floors, is the tallest building in Lengbing City. It serves as both the office for Lengbing City's NPC management and the headquarters for the Dragon Flame Guild's management.
Go through all the guilds and take away the offices of the NPC management? Only Long Yan could do that.
In the top-floor office, the man in silver-rimmed glasses raised his eyes from the screen and turned his gaze to the person taking a nap on the sofa.
He was also a young man, dressed in black, with short, silver-white hair. Looking closely, one could see fine lightning patterns gleaming between his dazzling silver hair.
"It turns out the special address that almost failed to sell was a restaurant in District 8." President Lu smiled. "Chumo, are you interested in taking a look?"
Chu Mo said nothing, did not move at all, even his breathing seemed to have disappeared.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would have looked like he was dead.
