Survival in the dormitory, I was pulled into the management group

"Three game coins are already expensive, and you're raising the price again? Are you out of your mind?!"

"Five it is! Give me two bottles!"

"Capricorn brother, can you give me a discount? Or I can exchange my body for it."

"Make way, I need to buy medicine!"

The area in front of the warehouse was as chaotic as a vegetable market.

As it turns out, even with the price increase, there was still no worry about sales.

The potion for reducing sensitivity is in short supply; any amount produced is sold out within seconds.

Because the Capricorn gang itself also needs to consume the potion of dullness, the remaining portion will be sold.

Chen Bei rested in the warehouse for less than half a day before Capricorn came to him again, handing him a bottle of freshly made desensitizing potion.

"Are you forcing me to go out and hunt violet crocodiles again?" Chen Bei asked first.

“Brother, this is called ‘the capable should do more.’ It’s a good thing to be useful; useless trash will only be abandoned by the times,” Capricorn grinned.

"Okay, nothing more to say. I'll go."

Chen Bei agreed and walked towards the warehouse entrance.

The Capricorn accompanied them to see them off, which was a gesture of respect.

We arrived at the warehouse entrance.

Then a black beast with a spiked bucket on its head came over, but was stopped by Capricorn's companions.

"You have to queue to buy the potion of dullness!" shouted the player blocking the way.

“I have glowing glands; I need to exchange them for a potion to dull my senses,” the black beast said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the attitude on this side immediately changed.

The luminescent glands are the key material, and the more the better.

Capricorn pushed aside his companions and personally received the Black Beast, treating him with exceptional courtesy, and discussed the trade ratio with him.

Black Beast didn't look at Chen Bei, and Chen Bei didn't interrupt Black Beast's transaction; instead, he left directly.

The Black Beast's actions served as a reminder to the players.

If you're reluctant to spend money, you can trade using glowing glands.

The prerequisite is having the ability to hunt dangerous violet crocodiles.

Now, purple crocodiles have become a hot commodity.

Someone else spoke in the group, suggesting another possibility.

The map in this game is so big; it's a modern city on scale.

There are likely multiple ways to reduce your spiritual vision value.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

We still need to explore the city and find a solution.

If a second way can be found, it will benefit the public.

The Templars, in particular, strongly supported this argument.

Capricorns are so fearless because of their monopoly.

Once a second way to reduce spiritual vision value emerges, this monopoly will be broken.

Capricorn's situation will take a sharp turn for the worse!

-

Underground city.

Chen Bei explores the map alone, searching for the whereabouts of the Purple Crocodile.

He has explored a large area, but still hasn't found it.

He encountered other monsters, all of whom became victims of his sword or gun.

During this time, the management group mentioned that there is indeed a second way to reduce Spirit Vision in the game.

However, no details were provided; it was only mentioned briefly.

Chenbei will pay close attention to intelligence in this area.

-

at the same time.

The black beast, whose spiritual vision had just been lowered, used his special methods to capture the entire family and bring them to his dormitory.

This family consists of NPCs, a large family of five.

Players can manipulate these ordinary NPCs at will; they pose no threat whatsoever.

This wasn't the first time Black Beast had done something like this; he handled the whole process with practiced ease.

The reason for doing this is to obtain a morbid sense of satisfaction.

In the past, it was always the games that tormented him; only when he tormented NPCs did he feel like he was tormenting the game itself!

Black Beast does this in every game.

The reason why this game has been delayed is...

It's because of the limitation of spiritual vision value.

It's inconvenient for him to take action.

His recent transaction with Capricorn caused his spiritual insight value to drop significantly.

This is what provides the premise for indulgence.

-

Several hours later.

Blood was everywhere.

The black beast itself was completely stained red.

He looked up, and a look of utter satisfaction appeared inside his metal helmet.

To his surprise, this time it did not cause an increase in his spiritual vision value.

Or rather, the death did not trigger any strange events.

As long as no strange events occur, the spiritual vision value will naturally be fine.

Black Beast pressed the remote control and summoned several cleaning robots.

These cleaning robots each have their own specific tasks; some are responsible for moving corpses, while others are responsible for cleaning up bloodstains.

Black Beast watched the robots bustling about, savoring the lingering afterglow.

Just then, a cold voice rang out.

"Lost lamb, I have chosen you."

"Who's speaking?" The black beast was startled and looked around.

But there wasn't a soul in sight.

You can't see anything else either.

The voice rang out again: "I've taken a liking to you."

"Who's speaking?" the black beast demanded.

"You have a lost heart, and you need proper guidance and a faithful sacrifice. Bring those like you to me. Sacrifice them to me. Afterward, I will grant you extraordinary spiritual insight."

"What nonsense! Having too high a spiritual vision value isn't a good thing."

"No, you're wrong. Extraordinary spiritual vision allows you to see the truth of the world. This is a world that eats people."

"I don't need that kind of truth."

"Only the weak are driven mad or devoured by the truth. You won't fall to that level. Because I see your potential. You have the qualities to become extraordinary. It's up to you to choose between being content with mediocrity, forever kept in the dark, living a muddled life, or to raise your head, open your eyes, and see this world clearly."

"What are you talking about...?"

“You know what I’m saying. Come on. Bring them here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

"Are you referring to those players when you say 'them'?"

"Yes, that's right, those are people like you. The ones you just killed are worthless in my eyes."

"Where are you?"

"I am in a tunnel in the northwest of the city. Ordinary people cannot see the tunnel, but I will make it visible to you. Perhaps you can come here yourself first, witness with your own eyes what an unattainable existence is, and then make a decision."

"Northwest... tunnel..."

The black beast's expression changed, and it hesitated.

But he quickly made up his mind.

How bad could it be?

Being in a game is like being a lab rat at someone's mercy, living in constant fear, never knowing which game you'll fall in.

No player can survive to the end.

At most, he'll just erect a statue for himself, like a legendary player.

Taking this gamble might bring unexpected benefits.

The black beast strode away, heading towards the northwest of the city.

The way they traveled was by "borrowing" a car from an NPC.

We drove a long way northwest and finally found the tunnel.
