As the saying goes, it is best to regain face where you lost it.
Eugene lost face several times because of He Yu's schemes. Now, he finally schemed against He Yu once. How could he not be happy to regain his face? How could he not be proud?
Eugene rubbed his hands, and the two of them stretched out their hands again.
For the first time, he was so looking forward to being bitten by the ghost.
Looking up again, Eugene saw that the number on He Yu's head had successfully changed from "97" to "94". This time, three hours were less, much less than the last time.
Eugene: "!!!"
Next to him, He Yu drew another defensive item, which still resisted two points of damage.
He glanced at Eugene next to him, his eyes did not linger on the "94" on his head, he just asked lightly: "Is there any change this time?"
Eugene said seriously: "No, the number on your head has not changed at all."
He Yu nodded, said nothing, and looked away.
Eugene: Hahahahahahaha!!
[Bullet screen: "Eugene, you are too arrogant, you dare to plot against He Yu."]
[Bullet screen: "The more arrogant your face is now, the more collapsed your face will be when you cry in the future."]
[Bullet screen: "Eugene said, let me show you a show of myself!"]
[Bullet screen: "It's really too arrogant, he doesn't even think about it, can a species like He Yu who has 180 minds be plotted by him?"]
The audience who had been squatting in Eugene's live broadcast room were confused, they found that they suddenly couldn't understand the bullet screen.
Someone asked: "What happened? Didn't Eugene and Heyu's countdowns decrease together? It doesn't count as stepping into Heyu's trap, right?"
The equally confused audience nodded in agreement: "Yes, Heyu said that the number above his head didn't change, and she lied to him. But Heyu didn't get any advantage, so why are you so weird?"
People who have been squatting in Eugene's live broadcast room can see Eugene's countdown: 94.
They can also see Heyu's countdown on the opposite side: 94.
They are both equally miserable, so why do you say that they are Eugene?
- Especially Eugene's fans, who angrily responded and stood up for the injustice.
Finally, someone answered, "Ahem, go to Heyu's live broadcast room. When you are confused, don't forget to watch the replay."
Everyone: "?"
So, the audience who had been waiting in Eugene's live broadcast room switched to Heyu's live broadcast room, looked up, and saw that the death countdown above Heyu's head was: 71.
Everyone: "???"
They were confused and switched between the two live broadcast rooms. They found that the numbers seen from Heyu's live broadcast room and Eugene's live broadcast room were indeed different!
Thinking of the prompt, they clicked on the replay and multiplied to see what happened.
Ten minutes later, in Eugene's live broadcast room -
"Fuck it! He Yu is so sinister!!"
"This guy is really, I surrender to him, he started digging traps as soon as he entered the game! This guy is poisonous, he will dig traps and set traps."
"Too cruel, I feel sorry for Eugene."
"That's not necessary to feel sorry for, after all, if Eugene didn't want to trick He Yu, he wouldn't have fallen into the trap." "
Now I understand He Yu's way of doing things, that is, to dig a bunch of traps first, and then those who are willing to fall into the trap, and when they are tricked, they can only feel aggrieved and angry at themselves... poison on poison."
...
There are also Eugene's fans who are not convinced: "If you step into a trap, you step into a trap, it's He Yu who is too sinister, why are you bragging? Even if our Eugene steps into a trap, the countdown will be longer than He Yu's! Eugene still has 94, and He Yu only has 71. Eugene will definitely win!"
After this fan finished speaking, several messages popped up immediately -
"That's not necessarily..."
"Not necessarily..."
"Not necessarily..."
"...If Eugene makes another mistake, who knows who will get the shorter countdown."
...
The contestants were unaware of the excitement of the bullet screen.
Eugene was addicted to "cheating people". He looked at the shadow and couldn't wait: "Question three, hurry up."
Goblin: "..."
It choked with tears and asked: "Excuse me, how many permanent residents are there in Goblin Town?"
Eugene looked at it.
Goblin: "A: 20,000 B: one person."
This free point question was ridiculous...
It was still He Yu who chose the right one and Eugene who chose the wrong one.
Soon, after answering the five questions, He Yu received five small defensive props, each of which could resist two points of Goblin attacks. They were small toys that were not very useful.
And the number on his head also successfully changed from "99" to "79".
The Goblin cried and said, "There are only five questions left. Go away!"
Eugene was satisfied: "Shall we leave now?"
He Yu looked at the Goblin and touched his chin: "Don't forget, you still
have to understand what the Goblin wants." The mission is not only to answer more than three questions, but also to understand what the Goblin wants. They must understand what the Goblin wants before they can complete this side mission.
Goblin: "..."
A shadow flashed by, and the voice was urgent: "No, I don't want anything!"
He Yu: "Eugene, go." Eugene
: "?"
He looked at He Yu: "Why should I listen to you?"
After that, he said something disrespectful but acted upright, and rushed towards the Goblin. The huge electric saw went towards the Goblin. The air pressure was terrible, and the air around became oppressive. The sound of the electric saw breaking through the air and the cutting of the saw teeth made people shudder.
The goblin curled up into a ball, crying bitterly: "Don't kill me! I say, I say, I have a request!"
Eugene stood aside, the electric saw and the shadow were only two centimeters apart.
He Yu stood in front, with his hands in his pockets, and asked calmly: "So, what is your request?"
"I want to leave here." The goblin sobbed, "I don't want to stay here for people to make fun of me anymore. I don't want to ask those questions over and over again, and recite the lines..."
The more the black shadow spoke, the more aggrieved he felt, and the harder he cried.
Is it easy to be a ghost? He has to stay in here, asking different people questions over and over again, reciting the same lines...
Life is hard enough, and he has to meet these two scary humans!
One seems to be able to see through him, and the other is pointing an electric saw at him. It is too difficult and too sad.
- He cried loudly.
However, He Yu had a blank expression on his face: "Go on, tell me about yourself. When did you appear in Ghost Town? How did you get to this area? What do you think of Ghost Town?"
Eugene understood that He Yu wanted to dig out some information from this ghost.
He put the electric saw on the shadow, expressionless, and said sinisterly: "I'll give you three minutes, speak quickly!"
This threat was very powerful.
"Wuwuwu, I'm telling you, I've been in the town since I can remember, and I don't know how long I've been here, I have no concept of time. I've been in the town for a long time, hiding from people, and was caught and brought into this space not long ago to serve as an interrogator. I don't have any idea about the ghost town, I just want freedom, wuwu, don't kill me." The shadow choked and said.
Eugene put away the chainsaw and asked curiously, "Hiding from people? Don't ghosts like to attack people? Why do you hide from people?"
"Not all ghosts like to attack people! Although I also want to attack people subconsciously, I know that I can't beat them, so I can restrain this idea. There are many ghosts hiding from people like me, but they are still caught. Some are killed, and some are like me..." The black shadow continued to explain.
He Yu understood.
Ghosts subconsciously want to attack humans, but ghosts also have different personalities. Some are like this guy. They know they can't beat them, so they hide in fear.
Unfortunately, the selling point of this town is ghosts, so even if they hide, humans will find a way to find them.
Those who are luckier, like it, are forced to perform their work.
Of course, if it is killed in the process of work, it is also its bad luck. After all, its previous questioner died in this way.
And those who are unlucky are killed as soon as they show up, and they can't even get a job.
He Yu frowned: "You said that you hid in the ghost town for a long time before you were caught? Then why don't you leave the ghost town?"
Ghosts are a selling point in this town, but leaving here, the sea and sky, even if it is dangerous, is much better than here.
So, why don't the ghosts leave?
Hearing this, the black shadow said aggrievedly: "It's not that we don't want to leave, we can't leave at all!"
He Yu and Eugene frowned, Eugene asked: "Why can't you leave?" The black shadow said
: "I don't know, I tried many times, but I couldn't get out. Our boss said that the ghost town was built with a barrier to prevent us ghosts from leaving."
Eugene's expression froze.
——It's really an important clue.
It's related to leaving, it must be related to the biggest secret they are looking for!
He Yu raised his eyebrows: "Your boss? You goblins... have a boss?"
Goblin: "..."
It said weakly: "You heard wrong..."
Eugene threatened with the electric saw again, and the shadow howled: "Kill me! Even if you kill me, I won't tell. I am a goblin with backbone. I must be loyal to the boss. I-"
Before it finished its very backbone words, He Yu and Eugene had turned around and ignored it.
Goblin: "..."
These two people! So rude!
It disappeared angrily, and only He Yu and Eugene were left in the local space.
Eugene walked a few steps to He Yu and lowered his voice: "What do you think? This town has a lot of secrets."
He Yu spoke calmly: "Of course, otherwise the mission would not be to unlock the biggest secret."
The biggest secret means that there are many other small secrets.
Eugene: "What should we do now? The town is isolated by a barrier. I'm afraid we need to ask the natives and the town's leaders. Also, the previous questions revealed some information. The town manager is Louis, and the permanent population is 20,000. We can ask Louis and other elderly people."
He Yu tilted her head and looked at him with a complicated look.
Eugene was stunned and said blankly: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
He Yu: "You are smarter than Wan Ren Zhan."
A rare smart person who can grasp key information and analyze it quickly.
Eugene: "..."
He stared: "Isn't this nonsense? Don't compare me with that fool. He has developed limbs but a simple mind. I am much smarter than him!!"
He Yu spread her hands: "Such a smart person, do you know other information?"
Eugene: "...I don't know."
After entering the copy, he looked at his countdown and immediately started looking for He Yu. He didn't have time to investigate, so he didn't know other information.
He Yu didn't keep him in suspense and answered directly: "You heard that the permanent population is 20,000, but you don't know how many tourists come every year and how many leave."
Eugene was stunned.
He Yu's eyes were deep and unfathomable, and she spoke quietly: "This ghost town is much more dangerous than we thought. Therefore, it is best not to expose our purpose outside, not to appear too abnormal, and it is best not to take the initiative to find someone to investigate, which will attract too much attention."
Eugene frowned: "If we don't take the initiative to find someone, how can we investigate?"
He Yu curled his lips: "Then wait for someone to come to us."
He looked at Eugene with a serious face: "So, play the role of my robot servant well, and I will lead you to find clues."
Eugene looked back at him deeply, and suddenly curled his lips: "I have a good reason. Not only can I meet the manager, but I can also investigate freely."
He Yu looked at him.
Eugene had an electric saw in his hand and murderous intent in his eyes: "Since I am your 'servant', if you die here, can I lose my temper, investigate, and meet Louis? My dear master."
Eugene got angry because He Yu said the word "servant".
As a master of robot stars and currently one of the top contestants in "Top Talent Show", Eugene is not afraid of the crisis he may encounter, nor does he believe that he cannot find out the truth with his own brain.
——He Yu, after providing this idea, you can die.
He raised his hand and the electric saw went towards He Yu's neck.
He Yu looked at him calmly and replied softly: "Hey."
This sound was a very arrogant response to his "my dear master".
Eugene: "..."
Furious, he swung the electric saw down fiercely.
He Yu did not move, looking at him calmly, without a trace of fear on his face or in his eyes.
Eugene's electric saw stopped beside his neck, and he asked in confusion: "Aren't you afraid? Don't you ask for mercy?"
——Abnormal, too abnormal.
He Yu raised her hand and pushed the rimless glasses on her nose, saying in a gentle voice: "Because you won't kill me, and you can't kill me. If I die, it will be very difficult for you to get out."
Eugene: "Why?"
His brows were knotted, and he didn't know where He Yu got the confidence from.
He Yu raised her hand, clasped her fingers together, and gently pushed his arm, saying, "Do you still remember the rules of this round of competition? Have you read them carefully?"
Eugene's arm did not move, and He Yu's strength was not enough to push it. He maintained his posture and sneered, "Remember, you can cooperate in this copy, or you can - fight."
He Yu shook his head, "Not this one."
He also maintained the pushing posture and said calmly, "Note: In the process of triggering the "biggest secret", all side quests triggered by all players must be completed, otherwise they will not be able to leave the ghost town."
While he was reciting clearly, Eugene also repeated it in his heart and thought carefully.
He Yu smiled: "All the side quests triggered by all players, that is to say, if the side quests I triggered are not completed, you must complete them for me, otherwise, you can't get out at all."
Eugene's pupils shrank and he looked at him in disbelief.
He Yu's eyebrows curved, and his delicate face was as dazzling as a sparkle: "Yes, you have thought of it, right? When you triggered this side quest, the system broadcast 'Side Quest 26'. That's because, before that, I had already triggered 20 side quests."
He tilted his head, looking innocent: "Oh, by the way, I haven't done any of the 20 side quests yet."
This is why he went shopping. There are too many side quests in this copy.
Eugene: "!!!"
This time, He Yu pushed Eugene's arm away smoothly, the chainsaw had stopped, and Eugene was dumbfounded.
After a while, he jumped up: "You are fucking vicious!"
He grabbed He Yu's collar, lowered his head, and stepped in front of him, gritting his teeth: "20 side quests, less than a hundred hours of countdown, and the truth must be found out... He Yu, you are looking for death!" He
actually triggered 20 side quests!
This is absolutely crazy!
Eugene's eyes were red with anger, and he stared at him fiercely.
He Yu looked up at him: "I have to save my life. If I don't, you will kill me. Eugene, listen to my arrangements. I promise you..."
He raised his hand and pointed to his head: "Complete this copy mission before this number ends."
His eyes were serious, and his pair of beautiful starry eyes reflected the silver hair and black eyes. It seemed that at this moment, there was only Eugene in his eyes, and he could only see Eugene.
Eugene was stunned, his emotions faded, and he subconsciously let go of his hand. The whole person was a little dazed.
After a long while, he shook his head suddenly, looked at He Yu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Seriously?"
He Yu's eyes were sincere, and he paused for every word: "Just like "Dawn Training School", I will never break my promise."
Eugene took a deep breath and put away the electric saw-
"Let's go, it's time to go out."
He Yu curled his lips and curved his eyebrows.
The barrage was full of comments -
"...Fuck! It's true. If I don't kill He Yu the first time I meet him, I can't kill him. Once I hear him speak, I definitely can't kill him."
"Watching a competition is just like watching 'One Hundred Reasons Why You Can't Kill Me'. He Yu is really strong."
"Wait! No, He Yu's promise is wrong! He said before his own time is up, he didn't say before Eugene's countdown is up!!"
"Fuck! There is indeed a language trap!!"
"It should be okay, right? After all, Eugene's countdown is longer than He Yu's. He has the shortest countdown in the entire arena. As long as it ends before his time is up, Eugene will be safe."
...
The two left the regional space.
There were still those people outside, surrounding the stall, very lively. When the boss saw the two people coming out, his eyes lit up and his face was full of flattering smiles: "Young Master? How was your fun?"
He Yu had a blank expression: "Not very good."
Boss: "..." Ah this...
Lin hurried forward and handed He Yu's ice beast coat to him. He and the boss just studied it. This is definitely better than all the expensive high-level defense equipment and clothing they have seen!
Even some knowledgeable people said that the beast to which this fur belongs may be a fierce giant beast of SSS level that has disappeared and only exists in legends.
——If this piece of clothing is put up for auction, even the big families of the main star will fight for it.
The identity of this "young master" is beyond doubt.
Lin's hands were shaking as he held the dress, and he handed it over respectfully and carefully, fearing that he would dirty it.
He Yu took it all in his eyes and suppressed the smile in his eyes.
He took it, put it on, and looked at the boss again: "It's not fun at all, that guy is so weak and pitiful."
The boss' heart tightened: "Master, you won't kill it, right? It was bought with money..."
Beside him, Eugene snorted coldly: "It's too weak, not worthy of our action."
The boss let out a sigh and said shamelessly: "There is no way, I am just a small stall, I don't have much money to buy a powerful ghost."
He Yu showed an interested expression: "Oh, can goblins be bought? Where can I buy them? Are there any S-level or above?"
Boss: "..."
Everyone: "..."
As expected, he is a rich man, he is willing to spend money to buy goblins, but - he asked for S-level ones right away, isn't his vision a bit too high?
Beside him, Lin said awkwardly: "Master, S-level goblins are only available during auctions. There seems to be no auction activities in Goblin Town recently... There are only some very weak goblins at the sales point now."
He Yu's face instantly became indifferent and unhappy: "Oh."
Lin touched his nose.
He Yu stood up irritably: "Let's go, take us to the store you mentioned, I hope the ghosts we meet at night are not too weak."
The boss finally couldn't help it, and said carefully: "Hey, Master... you haven't paid yet, 20 federal dollars per game, a total of five games, 100 federal dollars."
He Yu glanced at him coldly: "Boring me for such a small amount of money?"
He looked at Eugene: "Give me the money."
Eugene: "???"
There was disbelief in his eyes, and he met He Yu's eyes.
He Yu: Please play your role well.
Eugene: "..." I don't have any money either! !
Eugene was definitely a local tyrant when he was in the Federation, and he never hesitated to spend money, but... it was the same after entering "Top Stream Talent Show", everyone had no money.
Moreover, due to the setting of the competition, there was no place to spend money.
He Yu insisted on playing the game. Although it triggered a side quest, it was obvious that this quest did not need to be triggered and had no benefits. There was no need to spend money to trigger it!
So, at this moment, both of them were penniless.
[Bullet screen: "Hahaha!! Let's see what they will do next!"]
[Bullet screen: "He Yu successfully threw his pot away. Now, it's his servant who pays."]
[Bullet screen: "Hahahahahahahaha For the first time in history, Eugene, the boss of the Mechanical Star, was stunned because of 100 federal coins."]
Everyone looked at Eugene.
Eugene took a deep breath: "Master, the money is with the housekeeper. I have it here..."
Everyone looked over, and their eyes instantly became unfriendly. The air was heavy, and even the temperature dropped by several degrees. The atmosphere was terrible.
Obviously, "not paying" is very serious in the ghost town.
- This is the setting of the "Death Countdown" instance.
He Yu and Eugene knew from their faces that they could not default on their debts here, otherwise there would be very bad consequences.
Eugene cursed He Yu to death in his heart, took out a small sword with an expressionless face and threw it out: "Here you go."
Boss: "!!!"
Everyone: "!!!"
- Damn it!
- How fucking arrogant is this, he actually paid with combat power equipment? !
The arrogant action simply stunned everyone.
Even if it is just a small sword that adds a dozen points of combat power, it is worth thousands of federal coins, and judging from the workmanship, the material is very good, and it can be melted down to make other things in the future...
making a fortune!
The boss was stunned by the surprise, and the people around him were jealous and eager, looking at He Yu with shining eyes.
Eugene lowered his voice and spoke in a tone that only He Yu could hear: "I have no money, and if you spend more money, I can't pay..."
What did he just hear?
Stay in a hotel? Do they have money to stay in a hotel? !
Eugene wanted to curse.
He Yu opened her mouth barely audible: "If I have no money, I can sell you, you are a robot anyway."
Eugene: "???"
He widened his eyes, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
He Yu whispered: "Just a joke, you don't have to pay, the person who pays will be here soon."
As soon as the voice fell, a hearty voice rang out——
"Wait!"
He Yu lowered his eyes, hiding the smile in his eyes: Here they come.
