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

Looking at the contract that had been successfully signed, Zhong Yanchang revealed a smile.

"I wish us a pleasant cooperation, Mr. Liu~ Well then, see you again in two days on the periphery of the p7 block."

Looking at the disconnected call, Liu Ren lay down on the bed and let out a long sigh.

"..."

After recalling everything that had happened since entering the game, Liu Ren still felt a sense of unease.

He always felt that Zhong Yanchang's scheme was not as simple as he had seen it.

Although this strange contract can indeed prevent the Golden Crow Group from falling into the hands of the Sky-Piercing Gang in the entire Lower Three Districts, and shift all the pressure onto the Sky-Piercing Gang itself.

but……

Is it really that simple?

The two blocks in the upper four areas have not been opened yet.

The results for the other two blocks have already been generated.

Why did the Sky-Piercing Gang and the Golden Crow Group stop?

Was it a coincidence?

Liu Ren waited in his room until nightfall.

There has been no news of war breaking out in the other two blocks of the upper four zones.

"..."

Strange.

So weird.

The second day of the eternal night, evening.

Liu Ren slept intermittently throughout the night in his room—he dared not go into a deep sleep, so he used a method of alternating between deep and light sleep to allow his brain to rest.

Nothing happened all night.

The entire Sky-Piercing Gang was completely silent.

The third day, in the morning.

Liu Ren got up to wash up, then turned on his live stream and went downstairs for breakfast.

Liu Ren spent the entire night and afternoon inside.

But for the audience outside, only a few tens of minutes had passed.

[A few tens of minutes apart feels like three years!]

[Host, with such advanced technology as "Eternal Night," wouldn't it be better to just keep the livestream running without taking a break?]

You've got a clever plan.

What are your survival plans for today?

If I remember correctly, this should be the third hour of the streamer's broadcast, and the third day in the courtyard.

"...Today's survival plan is to eat, drink, and chat," Liu Ren replied after glancing at the comments.

[Host, how can you be so lazy?]

Eating and drinking...it seems only you could eat like that.

The guy next door is still licking the soles of his feet. It's making me cringe.

[I didn't think much of it at first; there were plenty of people who fawned over others in real life decades ago. But after watching Wen Dao Ge's livestream, I suddenly couldn't accept it anymore.]

Is this the legendary saying that it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality?

Watch cyber live streams and experience cyberpunk luxury.

[I wouldn't call myself cyberpunk; I'm pretty frugal in real life too.]

Don't you all need to go to work?

Go for it! I'm just watching the live stream while slacking off, aren't I?

[What a great paid time off!]

So, how's the battle for the beacon tower between the Sky-Piercing Gang and the Golden Crow Group going? It's been a whole night in the Midgard, nothing's happened yet?

The barrage of comments asking about serious matters immediately brought the topic of the live stream back to reality.

Yeah, it's been a whole night, they must have finished playing by now, right?

[Stop joking, if they really fought, the streamer would definitely start broadcasting.]

[Maybe the streamer missed it?]

【…】

“I didn’t miss it. I didn’t dare to sleep too deeply last night. Speaking of which, this was my first night sleeping in ‘Eternal Night’, and it was really torturous.” Liu Renshun complained. “Also, the Golden Crow Group and the Sky-Piercing Gang didn’t make a move all night. The remaining two blocks in the Upper Fourth District haven’t started fighting yet. I guess both sides are planning to wait until the P7 block is settled before making a move.”

"Also, I'd like to tell the viewers who just entered the live stream that I have signed a secret agreement with Zhong Yanchang."

Liu Ren casually showed the contents of the secret contract.

I also explained the effect of the Trick Pact.

[Holy crap, isn't this practically using someone's head as collateral?]

If only this thing existed in real life, I could just use a fraudulent contract for labor contracts, and see if those idiots would still dare to use supermarket loyalty cards to replace my wages.

Having a points card is good enough; at least I'm not in debt.

[It's good enough that you owe them money; at least they didn't make you take out a loan to work.]

"You're lucky you got a loan to work; at least you're not unemployed."

Being unemployed is better than being a cyber slave.

Being a cyber slave isn't so bad, at least I have food to eat. If I can't pay back my debts, I'll starve to death next month.

Why are you still watching the live stream here?

[Isn't this just a side trip to see if there are any cyber slave workers available?]

[Starving to death is better than risking your life like a streamer for 100,000 yuan. They go and die silently, and in a most painful way.]

[Speaking of which, why are there always vacancies for Tengfei's livestreaming positions?]

Of course, there's always plenty of consumables available.

[If there are already "limits" to take-off, why are we still hiring so many consumables?]

[Who knows? Strictly speaking, Tengfei can't get all the profits from "Boundary," even though they're all under the Tengyun Group; they still have to share in the profits.]

[Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. They're all bad stuff anyway.]

Anything associated with the character "Teng" is bad.

[You're making sweeping generalizations... good for you!]

After reading the live stream chat for a while, Liu Ren said, "Anyway, today should mainly be about chatting. There won't be any fighting, at most..."

"Huh? I came here to watch you fight. What's the point of watching if you don't fight?"

[Yeah, Wen Dao, let's get to the fight!]

Find a few NPCs and beat them up.

[NPC: ?]

【Or you could check out the Japanese quarter; isn't the sex industry there supposed to be quite developed?】

[The minister seconded the motion. 】

[It seems like she's involved in the sex industry everywhere she goes.]

But to be fair, their industry, well, it's actually pretty good.

[Go and criticize it immediately.]

Seeing the barrage of comments telling him to find a brothel, Liu Ren was both amused and exasperated: "I only have one day, I definitely can't go that far. Besides, there's my mortal enemy, the Red Demon, in the Japanese-occupied territory. Going there would just be asking for trouble."

There has to be something to do.

Are you going to switch to mukbang (eating broadcasts)?

Although, it's not entirely impossible.

[Isn't the Xuan Yin Society full of beautiful women? And it's nearby.]

"...Yeah! You're a genius!"

[Brother Wen Dao! Go to the Xuan Yin Society!]

There are many women there!

[Have they never seen a woman before? Don't forget, the streamer just killed members of the Xuan Yin Society two days ago, and now he's gone again. He's already out of Qingtian Gang territory; he probably won't be coming back.]

What's there to be afraid of? The streamer is that good.

[That’s right.]

【…】

"I can't go to the Xuan Yin Society for the time being. One reason is the risk, since I haven't entered the realm of the supernatural yet. The other is the impact. Right now, the East First District is fighting to the death over a beacon tower, and it wouldn't be good for me, a member of the Qingtian Gang, to go to the Xuan Yin Society."

It's no fun if we can't go anywhere.

"It's alright, there's another place I can take you to."

Remembering the system notification he received after killing a monster, Liu Ren immediately had an idea.

Where is it?

[Could it be some kind of weird place?]

There aren't many interesting things in the atrium, and the entertainment options are limited and uninteresting.

So where exactly is it?

Seeing a bunch of question marks, Liu Ren didn't keep them in suspense and replied directly: "The Tower of Imprisonment."
