As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

Despite being reminded by Pi Xinjie, Liu Ren still took a car to the special shop that sells ghost tools and tricks.

Since his predecessor was not qualified to come to such a place, this was his first time here.

The special shop is located within the designated area after the [Survival Tower] is unlocked.

This area, as the name suggests, is where people can "survive".

Therefore, all kinds of shops are available.

They sell food, clothing, shelter, weapons, etc.

Most of the shop assistants are NPCs.

They only accept life points.

This place also has special entertainment venues run by our gang.

Apart from the upper and middle classes, the lower-level members of the gang basically don't have the luxury of spending money here.

They could only go to the gang's "canteen".

That is, a restaurant owned and operated by the gang itself.

Prices there are cheaper, and as for the variety of food... it's basically just for filling your stomach.

Second-rate gangs like the Sky-Piercing Gang have a large number of low-level members.

Although Liu Ren's predecessor had no concept of this, based on his impressions, Liu Ren deduced that the number of lower-level members of the Qingtian Gang was at least tens of thousands.

Furthermore, the term "bottom level" here is not simply defined based on the status of the p-level.

His previous situation of having no money in hand can also be considered as being at the "bottom".

Because he was at the bottom, Liu Ren had to figure out a lot of information on his own.

When he stood at the entrance of the special store, the help that the memories of his predecessor could provide had basically reached its limit.

"Please show your identification."

After Liu Ren stepped through the gate, a notification popped up in front of him.

Liu Ren raised his left hand and showed the central terminal.

After the scan, his identity information gradually emerged.

Name: Liu Ren

Affiliation: Sky-Piercing Gang

"Privilege Level: p5"

"Confirmed."

After the last line of text was displayed, all the floating windows disappeared.

A robot with wheels on its legs walked out of the store and respectfully said in a mechanical voice, "Welcome to our store."

"..."

It turns out that you need to verify your identity information before entering the store.

I see……

If you're not a member of the faction, wouldn't you be unable to even get through the door?

Liu Ren quickly processed the information he had gathered in his mind before asking, "Does your shop sell ghost artifacts?"

"Yes, guest."

Are there still any ghost items for sale?

"I'm sorry, sir, our inventory of ghost items is sold out. The number of ghost items available for sale is currently 0."

"Are there any other tricks?"

"The inventory of tricks has also been cleared, and there are currently 0 tricks available for sale."

"..."

They really are sold out.

Although he had expected it, Liu Ren still frowned.

Wouldn't that mean we'd be completely tied to any powerful force?

Without embracing the unorthodox, one ultimately remains ordinary.

They had no means of making a living in the courtyard.

Even if he were incredibly strong in martial arts, he would still be far from being "safe".

There were frequent conflicts between gangs, with minor skirmishes every three days and major clashes every five days.

The battle for ownership of the Beacon Tower has been fought with lives at stake.

If you're not careful, you could easily get caught up in it.

Liu Ren hated the feeling that his fate was not in his own hands.

However, at present, there doesn't seem to be a better way to solve this problem.

After leaving the shop selling magical tools and tricks, Liu Ren glanced at the sun in the sky and sighed.

at this point.

Let’s eat first.

So much has happened this morning.

……

Liu Ren went into a nearby restaurant.

I also observed that my identity was verified here.

There was no more pop-up notification.

The reason the confirmation pop-up was just now was probably because the original owner never came...

"Please come in, sir." The robot in charge of reception led Liu Ren in.

The first floor is already full.

It was lunchtime, and almost all the middle-level members of the Qingtian Gang came here to spend money.

As soon as Liu Ren entered the room, someone noticed him.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Liu? What's up? You got your money back after killing that bastard? Now you have extra money to eat here?" someone said mockingly.

Liu Ren glanced at him but ignored him.

Within the same gang, fratricide is strictly prohibited.

This rule is quite strict.

This is also the biggest reason why Chen Yang didn't take direct action against Liu Ren before – if the crime wasn't established first, even if it was him, he couldn't be directly targeted.

It's easy to mess things up.

Of course, if you can't resort to violence, you can still mock and provoke.

After that person started, the others drank and gradually brought up Liu Ren's glorious past achievements as topics of conversation.

"After licking for so long, he got killed right after we slept together. How despicable—don't you think?"

"Heh, and I heard they even betrayed information within the gang, but they refuse to admit it to the death."

"He can sleep with women from the Golden Crow Group; the leak during the last operation was definitely his doing!"

"I don't know why the Prison Department didn't find out."

"I initially thought he was just a clown, but it turns out we were all wrong—this Tamah is a traitor!"

"Trying to prove her innocence? Ha! She clearly colluded with Teng Ling all along!"

"Now that the only witness is dead, there's no one left to accuse this bastard!"

"What a good plan!"

"..."

Liu Ren ignored these guys and silently went up to the second floor under the robot's guidance.

There were far fewer people on the second floor.

Of course, the price is also much higher.

Liu Ren picked up the menu, looked at the familiar Jiuhuang cuisine, and casually ordered a few dishes he had never eaten before.

Then she opened the live stream room that only she could see and started scrolling through the comments.

[How could the streamer tolerate this?]

[We cannot tolerate this; fratricide is strictly forbidden within our faction.]

This is true for almost every faction.

Are there no exceptions?

Yes, but for those who aren't even in the top tier, third-rate or even substandard, the requirements aren't as strict.

And then it was all gone.

[There was a top player who tried to start with a third-rate or even insignificant faction, but the result was disastrous.]

Without the power of the Beacon Tower, they lack even the foundation for self-sufficiency, spending their days in hiding, colluding with larger, third-rate powers, and attempting to cause trouble.

【Then what? 】

And then? Almost none of them succeeded.

[To ask such a question, you're punished by having to watch all those compilations of "Eternal Night" again!]

No way! Those compilations are just not good at all!

[There's nothing sensational about it, nothing erotic, nothing action-packed; I honestly don't know what's so interesting about those fragmented videos.]

[System notification: Your live stream has reached 40 viewers and is currently featured in the trending topics section. Keep up the good work!]

【…】

In addition to the information in the border platform's live broadcast room, Liu Renshun also used his consciousness to scan the situation of the "Eternal Night" channel on the border platform at that moment.

No surprises.

He stormed straight to the top of the popularity chart.

Although 400,000 online users is still a far cry from the millions of users on other tags.

But in "Eternal Night," he is already the first to have a gap in his career.

It hasn't even been an hour since the broadcast started!

However, upon realizing the time issue, Liu Ren discovered something else.

"Eternal Night" is a single-player game.

The time inside, compared to reality, is 1:24.

In other words, at this very moment, only a few minutes have passed outside?

But in Liu Ren's own experience...

He did indeed spend the morning there.

"..."

It seems that "Eternal Night" was indeed not man-made.

When it comes to time and feelings, Liu Ren doesn't think any other company can achieve what it has done.

When the robot placed the plate full of food in front of Liu Ren, Liu Ren was stunned for a moment.

So fast?

He glanced at the nimble robot, then at the delicious-looking shredded pork with garlic sauce on the table, and swallowed hard.

Liu Ren picked up his chopsticks and took a bite.

His taste buds were instantly assaulted.

Having grown accustomed to pre-cooked meals, my tongue is finally tasting the flavors it should be tasting.

"...This is a bit too authentic, and so fast too."

Liu Ren couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He immediately disregarded the live stream camera and began to eat heartily.

He had forgotten how long it had been since he last ate such a freshly cooked, piping hot dish.

With the advent of the AI ​​era, many products targeting the grassroots have become mass-produced.

For example, food, the kind that's mass-produced, is very cheap and can fill people's stomachs.

But to say it's "delicious" is far from accurate.

This is why people can still make do even with low wages.

For someone like Liu Ren, who happens to be perched on a stinking ditch, survival, if it's simply about ensuring his own survival, is easy.

But life is hard.

Previously, Liu Ren would never have imagined that he would be driven to such a desperate situation in reality.

In the game, you can relive "life".
