Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 43 Sixty minutes later, he'll be a hero again!
After Director Bao finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.

No matter how many times his phone rang, he would only glance at it before hanging up and eventually turning it off.

Upon seeing this, the live stream chat exploded with excitement.

[Damn, I knew it! These scammers have absolutely no integrity!]

[Talking about integrity with scammers? Shuangzi is too naive; she's learned a harsh lesson this time.]

[That's so tragic. The NPC mother's voice was so heartbreaking. She mortgaged her house to raise 400,000 yuan, but the other party turned their back on her.]

[They're really sucking the marrow dry! I'm starting to feel a little sorry for those NPCs in the game.]

Zhao Shuang frowned more and more as she watched the comments scrolling across the screen.

He stared intently at Director Bao and asked, word by word:

"Now that the second payment from my family has arrived, are you still not going to let me go?"

Director Bao shook his head slightly, a playful smile on his face.

"You only understand now?"

"pity……"

"late!"

He walked up to Zhao Shuang and slapped his cheek hard, clearly retaliating for having his wrist grabbed earlier.

A surge of anger rose suddenly from the depths of Zhao Shuang's heart.

"What the hell..."

Although he had anticipated this outcome, how could he not be angry at all when he was actually being played like this by an NPC in a game?

He cursed and tried to rush over and grab the director's collar.

However, the security personnel beside him were not to be trifled with; they held him down firmly from both sides, rendering him unable to move.

Director Bao sneered, leaned down, and whispered in his ear:
"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

He wouldn't kill, he wouldn't even cut off toes or anything like that.

Piglets that have just been slaughtered cannot be kept in the park, as they will develop a rebellious mentality and it will be time-consuming and laborious to train them. It is better to squeeze them dry and resell them to other parks.

Zhao Shuang's mouth was taped shut.

He couldn't utter a sound; he could only roar in his heart:

Damn it, of course you wouldn't want to kill me!
If you kill me, how will you continue to scam money?

Seeing Zhao Shuang get the short end of the stick, many viewers in the live stream were gloating.

[Shuangzi broke down on the spot, it cracked me up!]

Still gloating, thinking you've taken a shortcut? Look what you've done! You've lost everything!

[Shuangzi, the first streamer to be completely outmaneuvered by an NPC, you're going to be famous!]

[A series of actions as fierce as a tiger, but the clown turned out to be myself.]

[Sympathy for Shuangzi for a second. 】

Wang Zixu, having seen this, fully understood the trick, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

I knew it! This is an anti-fraud game, how could it be so easy for someone to pass the level?

Tourism on the high seas...

Hehe, you're behaving yourself this time, aren't you?

Stop showing off, huh?

After I log off, I'm definitely going to give him a good laugh on the game forums!
Seeing the merciless mockery on the screen, Zhao Shuang used the virtual keyboard to reply.

[New player: Bros, I was careless, I didn't flash!]

[New player: This is probably how my life will be. Let's see how the story unfolds, try to gather as much information as possible, and then be careful in my next life!]

[New player: I hereby swear, if I ever believe a single word from a scammer again, I, Zhao Shuang, will write my name backwards!]

When the viewers in the live chat saw Zhao Shuang's reply, even more of them started jeering.

[Hahaha, Shuangzi will always be this straightforward!]

[Is the name backwards "Shuang Zhao"? It sounds like cannon fodder!]

[I support Shuangzi's triumphant return in her next life, to personally avenge her enemies!]

An hour passed quickly.

Director Bao turned on his phone on time and then called Zhao Shuang's parents.

The phone rang only twice before it was answered immediately.

Director Bao asked in a deep voice:

"How's the fundraising going?"

Upon hearing that voice, the mother on the other end of the phone immediately burst into tears.

"Please, please let my son go... We've already mortgaged our house and car... We've called all our relatives and friends, and we've only managed to scrape together 120,000 yuan. Please, have mercy and show some leniency!"

"Or...or give us a few more days."

Zhao's mother's pleading voice was filled with despair and helplessness, making one's heart ache.

The phone was on speakerphone, and Zhao Shuang could hear everything clearly.

Unfortunately, his mouth was tightly sealed with tape, and his arms were held down by two security guards.

It can only make a "woohoo" sound.

At that moment, he seemed to understand something.

Why did the man before him stubbornly refuse to let his family send him money?

Because he knew that even if he paid the ransom, they would never release him!

They'll be like sharks smelling blood, constantly finding ways to demand a second, a third, a fourth payment...

They won't stop until they've squeezed every last penny out of you.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shuang couldn't help but shudder.

I thought to myself, "That ruthless planner is really something!"

When Director Bao heard that they had only managed to scrape together 120,000, his eyes widened, and he said sternly:
"It seems you didn't listen to what I just said!"

"Then I'll just have to collect some interest first."

"You yourselves, do you want to cut off the toes first, or the nose? Or the ears?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang's parents on the other end of the phone became extremely anxious, sobbing and pleading for more time, promising to raise the money.

Those pleas seemed to have exhausted all their strength, filled with humility.

Don't be fooled by Zhao Shuang's tendency to do silly things and always laugh during his live streams; it doesn't mean he's heartless.

He listened to his "parents" on the phone, who said that the family had already mortgaged all their valuables and were still pleading desperately to save him.

My eyes involuntarily reddened slightly, as if I had sand in them.

this moment,
The sense of powerlessness and guilt simulated in the game was so real that he felt breathless.

The atmosphere in the live stream chat also changed.

[Sigh, this is so heartbreaking. Even though I know they're just NPCs, I still feel so sorry for these parents.]

The planner truly understands human nature; this storyline is incredibly immersive.

[Shuangzi, I think you're being a bit unfair. What if these NPC parents in the game actually existed?]

【…】

When Wang Zixu saw this scene in the live broadcast room, he fully understood the tricks of this fraud gang.

They torture the victim in front of the family, then exploit the family's sympathy and desperation to save their child, forcing them to keep sending money.

But whether it's cutting off a toe or a ear, they won't hurt the victim's fingers.

Because after scamming people out of their money, they still have to send them into the park to type on keyboards.

Until all value is squeezed out.

Those bastards are truly ruthless!
Simultaneously,

Wang Zixu couldn't help but admire the game planner.

The plot is designed purely by exploiting human nature.

One word: Awesome!

at this time,

In Zhao Shuang's live stream, a VIP member named "Hua Kai Fu Gui" sent her a message.

[Blooming Flowers and Wealth: Shuangzi, go slap that thing over there, what's that package? It's a hot air balloon, are you going to catch it or not?]

A row of comments immediately appeared below.

[Shuangzi can't move right now, right?]

[Isn't he being held down by two blond guys? He can't really fight back even if he wanted to, can he?]

This kind of holding position is actually quite difficult to break free from, unless...

Just as everyone was wondering, a comment appeared on the screen.

[New player: Rich guy, a hot air balloon won't do, we need a sports car!]

The viewers burst out laughing, and many made sarcastic remarks.

[Shuangzi is starting to act like a diva; she's even complaining about the hot air balloon.]

Boss Hua, don't spoil him.

[Price gouging under the guise of market conditions disrupts the market environment.]

[Today they complain about hot air balloons, tomorrow they'll dare to hit their boss.]

[The point isn't the sports car, is Shuangzi even capable of that given her current situation?]

[Let's take a gamble. We're going to get nerfed anyway, so maybe we can take someone down with us.]

Among the numerous bullet comments, a donation message popped up.

【Blooming Flowers and Wealth: A Supercar as a Gift】

The comments section was instantly filled with phrases like "The boss is confused" and "A hundred yuan is going down the drain."

In the game,
Zhao Shuang took a deep breath through her nose.

Next second,
He kicked out with his right leg, aiming for the back of the leg of the security guard beside him!
At the same time, he exerted force with both arms, and fortunately, the two security guards were not trained fighters, which allowed him to break free from their restraints!

He ripped the tape off his mouth and roared with all his might:

"Dad! Take good care of Mom! And please, don't send any more money!"

Zhao Shuang rushed to Director Bao in one stride, swung her right arm in a wide arc with a whooshing sound, and with a crisp "smack," slapped him hard across the face!
The slap came suddenly and forcefully.

Director Bao was completely stunned by the beating.

A bright red palm print instantly appeared on his left cheek, and even his jaw trembled slightly.

No one reacted.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Zhao Shuang reacted quickly and seized the opportunity to snatch the cleaver from Director Bao's hand.

Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well go all out.

As the two struggled, the surrounding security guards suddenly woke up and rushed over.

Ultimately, even the best of both worlds can't fight against many.

"You bastard surnamed Bao, you just wait!"

"Sixty minutes from now, I'll be a hero again!"
