Chapter 199 The Scarlet Priest
Asking Liu Yuhan to search for "evidence that can lock him in the public clues" was Qisi's whim after entering the Ruins of the Sunset.
Although the lists and records of weird games are half-hidden, there is no guarantee that no one will find any clues from them.
Liu Yuhan went to the questions with the answers, and it was best if she could not pinpoint him. If he could really sort out one or two things from the complicated information, Qisi felt that he had to prepare for the worst——
Fake death in the game, find a tool man as a stand-in, or negotiate directly in reality.
It is better to prepare for a rainy day, even if it is unfounded worry, than to panic when disaster strikes.
After Liu Yuhan left without a trace, Qisi took chopsticks and started to eat the food on the table, and then discovered that it was not unreasonable for the restaurant to have poor business.
Being able to make green vegetables taste like hay is a skill comparable to his.
While making a mental evaluation, Qisi stuffed the last vegetable leaf into his mouth without changing his expression, and finally remembered something very important that he had ignored.
He returned to the game space, entered the mall, spent 600 points to buy a bunch of daily necessities such as rice, fruits and vegetables, and threw them into the World Fruit corresponding to Qijia Village.
[You can design the rules of this world]
An emotionless voice sounded from the bottom of his mind, and Qiss found that he naturally knew what to do.
He sinks his consciousness into the golden fruit, relaxes, and diffuses into the underlying structure of the world.
An interface similar to the background of the system appeared in front of you. On the dark background, red program codes kept popping up, and they spread their teeth and claws as if they were alive.
These codes did not belong to any language that Zeis knew, but surprisingly he knew how to understand and write them the moment he saw them.
Relying on his memory, he used white lines on a black background to outline the outline of the game mall, and placed the daily necessities he had just bought on the shelves one by one, setting the price of each to twice the original price in the game mall.
A new prompt popped up: [Please define the currency of this world, including name, purchasing power, and how to obtain it]
Qisi pondered for a moment, and spoke clearly: "The name is 'Scarlet Dot' , which can be used to purchase goods in the game mall and delay entering new dungeons. It can be obtained by clearing the dungeon or completing the 'Lord God Quest'."
[Please define the Lord God Quest]
Qi. Si said calmly: "The Lord God's mission is released by me. It is refreshed randomly, with random content and random rewards. The first mission is as follows -"
He paused, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips: "In two days, a group of outsiders will enter Qijia Village, looking for Qi Leming's relatives to negotiate. Please lure them all in and kill them. Reward 1,000 scarlet points."< br>
……
In Qijia Village, men, women, old and young gathered at the village chief’s house, frowning.
Once the copy was downloaded, most of the people died violently and were dragged to the fields and buried by paper people this morning. Those who survived almost know the basic mechanics of the weird game, and also understand the horror and cruelty of the copy.
The fear of ghosts and death, and the confusion and despair about the future, covered them layer by layer like paper towels soaked in water; they waited in panic for the next copy to come, and gradually realized to a more serious reality: they were running out of food.
Not only food, but also various daily necessities... In this era, it is difficult for villages to be self-sufficient, and many needs for food and clothing have to be purchased in towns.
Thick white fog and patrolling paper figures have blocked the roads in the village, preventing them from communicating with the outside world as they used to.
"My family, Youyou, and I haven't eaten for a whole day. If anyone has extra food, please give it to us."
"It's not an option to continue like this. We have to Get out as soon as possible, or ask someone to bring things in. "
"How about... let's get some incense and yellow paper to worship the main god? "
The villagers were talking in a flurry, then stopped talking one after another, and replaced themselves with a kind of solemnity mixed with awe.
I saw the shadow of golden vines hanging from the sky, gently fluttering with the breeze that came from nowhere; the yellow door wall of the house was smeared with light gray from the corners, just like The screen that refreshes the prompt text in the game.
They saw the shopping mall interface displaying daily necessities, saw the prices below, and saw the newly refreshed main god mission.
[Mission background: Two days later, a group of ignorant and greedy outsiders will come here with ulterior motives, claiming to be looking for the relatives of "Qi Leming" and discussing cooperation with the student aid foundation. 】
[Task content: Kill all outsiders]
[Task Reward: 1000 Scarlet Points] The daily necessities problem that they had been worried about for a long time was solved. The villagers could not hide their joy and kowtowed to the gods they had never met.
Some people also showed some hesitation: "Are there many of them? Everyone in the Foundation has guns, what if we can't kill them all?"
The villagers were silent, and then listened to the God above the sky coming down to say: "Pray to me, and the scarlet will guide you."
Above the gray curtain, they saw the dignity of God. Name:
"The Scarlet Lord who has traveled through infinite time and space."
"The soul master who has newly taken over the power of the contract."
"The only existence that travels between reality and illusion."
… …
Happy God Ghost Domain eats one living person every month. If things go on like this, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Weird Investigation Bureau. Who knows if there will be a few dumbfounded people who can’t see the situation clearly and come to investigate.
In order to avoid possible trouble, Ziss thought it would be better to disguise the death as a civil conflict.
Let the villagers take action, Xu Yao intervenes secretly, and then throws the used corpses far away, pretending to be a bizarre death like falling into a trance after a fight - perfect!
If the Public Security Bureau had known that Qijia Village was difficult to manage, they would have been willing to calm things down. At that time, we will assign a main god task and ask the villagers to confess their crimes and pay a fine.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. Zisi has never pursued the quality of food, clothing, housing and transportation. He just enjoys the process of completing interesting things and getting generous rewards. His account balance has long reached an astronomical figure. He cares more about the existence of money than the specific value. No rounding.
In the process of issuing tasks to the villagers, Qisi designed an honorary name for himself based on Qi's honorary name, with the mentality of giving it a try and not losing money.
In the copy of "Red Maple Leaf Boarding School", after discovering that the terms "praying to the contract" and "mortgaging souls" had the same effect, he basically confirmed that he had worked so hard to sign the contract and collect souls, and most likely he was just marrying the contract. clothes.
[Scarlet Priest] The identity card gave him a deeper understanding of gods and beliefs. The new knowledge and cognition stimulated the growth of ambition. He began to think: With the decline of the old gods, even existences like Yuna He can become a demigod, can he also ascend to the throne of god?
Therefore, he deliberately drew a clear line with Qi from this moment on, and tried to play a real god.
Anyway, the mechanism of the identity card also emphasizes "acting", doesn't it?
As for what to do if it fails——
If you don't feel embarrassed, just tell the villagers directly that "because the main god has been promoted and his name has changed"; if you feel it's embarrassing, just silence all the villagers who know about this embarrassing incident.
Nothing to lose after all.
After playing tricks in the game space, Qiss successfully exhausted the redemption time and opened his eyes in bed in reality.
Nasal congestion, dizziness, muscle aches... all the discomforts inherent in various illnesses came one after another. Qi Sisheng stared at the ceiling helplessly, remembering for no reason what Jin Yusheng had sent him half a month ago. That sentence:
"Don't leave Jiangcheng until the end of the year. I've given you a divination. You are in conflict with everyone except Jiangcheng!"
Maybe he really doesn't get along with Qijiacun - who knows?
......
On the evening of April 7, Qisi received a message from Bob. The main contents were two points:
First, nothing happened to Jin Yusheng, and he was still alive. While doing his usual job of swindling, he also changed his clothes into the red Tang suit he usually wears.
Second, [Insomnia Germs] have been dumped into the Mississippi River.
Everything is developing for the better. Officials have loosened their control over Jin Yusheng. The disease will soon be lurking in the bodies of thousands of people. Qisi is already vaguely qualified to sit on the negotiating table.
The black-haired young man raised the corners of his lips, revealing the smile that often appears on the face of the devil in religious paintings: "I just don't know - how many people do I need to kill to become a god?"
Seven in the evening At noon, Qisi packed his luggage and set off on the road back to Jiangcheng.
Qijia Village is undoubtedly not suitable for living. It is better to be used as a garbage dump to dispose of corpses and annoying people.
Having already "returned home in fine clothes", it is useless to stay for a long time. Ziss was wearing a mask, a cooling patch, and a thick coat. He sat in the back seat of the car with a desolate expression, and took one last look at the desolate countryside filled with white mist.
Looking back at the unforgettable and hoarse past events, I only feel that they are understated, ethereal and nihilistic.
The [Scarlet Priest] identity card in these two chapters, well, it is a newly added setting after revising the text. In order to increase the attractiveness of the main line, I made this book long, and I also started to play tricks. ...The identity card can be understood as a special prop, which looks like a tarot card and whose effect is to collect faith and gain strength. Each player can bind one at most, and the link with the card can be enhanced through "playing". There are a total of twenty-two cards, as well as settings such as sequence and promotion, but they have not been developed in the previous article; according to the iceberg theory, I don’t know whether it will be expanded in the future. (Anyway, after a lot of messing around, I came up with something very mysterious)
