CH 13

Lin Yan shook his head in fear: “No, it can’t be ……”

He’s got the hidden mission, he’s just one last reunion to get the hidden props to get to the top of his life, how can he fail, something must have gone wrong!

Zhang Dong grinned, revealing his blackened teeth from years of smoking, “I’ll only give you three chances, so why not keep the extra ones and play with them?”

Lin Yan suddenly realised that all the free vouchers and extra spending were just a trap!

By literally misleading players into thinking that they can avoid a pick after using the free voucher. The fact that all five are only activated after they have been obtained by different players is to ensure that players who have obtained them before don’t notice the problem, which is clearly the biggest death trap in the whole game!

And he made the smart move of letting the others take the free vouchers first, testing whether they would die, and then getting five together in order to bind people around, not realising that this was the death condition. In a game with only three chances, that extra choice simply had nowhere to go.

He had underestimated Zhang Dong, a seemingly stingy and stupid boss who could set such a trap!

Zhang Dong watched Lin Yan’s changing face with satisfaction, ready to let it go for a while longer as he turned first to the flower-armed punk.

Under Zhang Dong’s gaze, it was as if the flower-armed punk had seen the most horrific sight on earth.

His eyes gradually widened, his eyes unfocused, his mouth grew to gasp sharply and his muscles tensed and stiffened. He seemed to be trying to escape, but was held in place by invisible forces, his legs stomping futilely on the floor.

“Cluck ……” A twisted scraping sound came from the flower-armed punk’s throat as he stared into the void while reaching out and choking himself, the bruises on his arms showing just how much strength he had used. Even though he had lost consciousness, the force in his hand still didn’t stop.

In full view of the crowd, the flower-armed punk just choked himself alive.

His bloodshot eyes almost came out of their sockets as his fallen body met Lin Yan’s gaze, frightening him into crawling desperately into the distance, despite the injury to his broken leg.

Lin Yan uses his 2.75x speed to crawl quickly towards the side, he wants to get as far away from the boss as possible.

Suddenly, a pair of feet appeared in his path, the shoes on them worn and stained. Lin Yan’s heart thudded and he looked up to see Zhang Dong’s green and white face leaning down at him, a palm’s breadth between them, the stench of decay clear on the tip of his nose.

A smile tugged at Zhang Dong’s face as he took off his hat and lamely saluted Lin Yan like a gentleman: “Let me introduce you to my new employee – Sister Xiao the Mermaid!”

There was a clatter behind them, like something coming out of the water.

Lin Yan turned his head stiffly as he realised he was in the area where fish and aquatic products were sold. The murky glass fish tank behind him was now churning and as he watched, a hand slowly reached out. It was a bit white from the soaking and had a ring on it that looked familiar, but Lin Yan couldn’t remember it ……

Then the top of the broken head, the face covered by floating black hair, the shoulders …… of the man in the tank slowly pressed up against the glass and raised his head.

Lin Yan instantly felt like falling into ice, he remembered clearly how the owner of this face had cursed him and cursed him, it was – the face of a lover girl!!!

He couldn’t help but shudder and turn and flee.

As he crawled, he shouted, “You killed yourself, I didn’t kill you!!! What are you looking for me for!!!”

The hands of the couple reached out from the water like snakes, stretching to an unbelievable length, and then violently tugged at Lin Yan’s hind legs with such force that they seemed to crush all the bones.

“Lin Yan couldn’t help but scream as the lover girl’s hand squeezed his broken leg, and between the strong pull, a heartbreaking pain emanated from the broken leg.

Previously Lin Yan had gently pushed the couple to the ground, but now Lin Yan was being dragged along by the irresistible force of the ghost-turned-lover.

The couple dragged Lin Yan into the narrow glass tank by force. Lin Yan struggled violently in the water, but the water greatly limited his speed, and he held on to the edge of the glass fish tank and did not let go.

Lin Yan shouted at Zhang Dong, “You gave me my hidden quest, didn’t you! I came close to completing it once, give me one more chance to make her stop!!!”

Zhang Dong just smiled and did not react.

Just then, another hand reached out of the murky water and forcefully broke Lin Yan’s fingers apart one by one. The hand was slightly larger, strewn with broken marks, and it carried a ring identical to that of the loving woman.

Lin Yan’s eyes widened in despair as they were dragged into the murky water, which churned violently for a few moments before falling silent once more, as if there was nothing in it.

Zhang Dong applauded his new employee and expressed his appreciation.

No wonder Lin Yan doesn’t dare to kill people in the replica, it turns out that the dead people have the chance to be absorbed into the replica’s NPCs. imagine that when you are in the middle of a level, an NPC suddenly appears and chases you to death, it will be much more difficult to pass the level.

But looking at the situation, even if they didn’t kill the person themselves, the NPCs that players become still have a lot of hatred for the person they impressed before they died.

Zhang Dong turned to Xiao Lan and said, “Are you sure you don’t want to join us, there are mermaids.”

Xiao Lan : “……”

What’s with this tone of voice about coaxing Sister Xiao to look at goldfish? And a mermaid with three layers of swimming rings is too hot to handle!

Perhaps Xiao Lan’s look was too obvious, Zhang Dong changed the condition and coaxed, “Do you want the hidden mission?”

Xiao Lan is alert: “The one who’s a teammate?”

Zhang Dong smoothly described the mission description of [Reunion Star].

Then added, “Everyone who finds a way to get their teammates killed in the supermarket, I give them one of these tasks.”

Xiao Lan finally knows why Lin Yan is so keen to get his teammates killed, it’s for the hidden item. But for Xiao Lan, who had already experienced Zhang Dong’s hidden mission and received the reward, he was sure that this hidden item was definitely not something good.

Xiao Lan asks skeptically, “Can I ask what this hidden prop is?”

Zhang Dong waved his hand and said proudly, “My autograph! How about it, do you want it? Since you’re poorer than me, I can just give it to you.”

Xiao Lan : “Thanks no thanks ……”

Not as good as a lagging envelope!

As expected, Zhang Dong’s stingy style does not give anything useful, and Lin Yan, an old bully, is completely screwed by Zhang Dong.

Even Xiao Lan, if he hadn’t met Luo by chance, would have gotten a random skill and an ordinary stagnant envelope. According to Luo, there are a lot of random skills that are useless and even pitiful, such as “King of Appetite”, “Bathroom Singer” and “Open Melon with Bare Hands”, which will only get you cold in case of danger.

[Poverty Can’t Limit My Imagination] is actually a pitfall skill as well, most people probably can’t even activate the skill, but I didn’t expect to randomly get a poor man.

“Ding dong–”

“Congratulations to player Xiao Lan who has cleared the game “Supermarket at the End”.”

The sounds around them recede and a thick darkness slowly spreads out, separating Xiao Lan from the supermarket scene.

Before falling into darkness, the sound of collapsing shelves was heard in the supermarket, accompanied by Zhang Dong’s pained cries and a series of system prompts.

“Destroying a scene prop increases the poverty value by 0.81 million”

“Destroying a scene prop increases the poverty value by 26,000”

“Destroying a scene prop increases the poverty value by 11,700.”

……

” Zhang Dong was angry and decided to take back the gift he had given you.”

In total darkness, Xiao Lan looks at the hints that keep popping up and is filled with the joy of the harvest, like a hard-working old farmer taking stock of his year’s harvest.

He became poorer and stronger.
