I'm bad, but players love me

"One is my friend, the other is her..."

Dim concentrated on listening to every word the two said, but the increasing distance made the content of the conversation increasingly vague. She wanted to follow closely to hear clearly, but she was worried that if she went up, they would kill her directly in there.

A place like a slaughterhouse has plenty of knives and meat. With one cut, everything is a pile of dead meat. Dim didn't dare to gamble, so she timidly put on her pitiful look and stood back beside Ah Dai.

As a player, Ah Dai could only see the other party plotting for a while, and then Dim came running to report that this person knew where Yun Shuo was, but he had to wait for her to put the fish in the store first.

"Is the ugliness of the land due to the length of time it takes to be in the water? A quest to find Yun Shuo requires two NPCs to complete? Did this guy just cheat me out of my meal for nothing?" Ah Dai complained in the live broadcast room, "It really is a relationship-based society, isn't it?"

In Dim's opinion, it took a long time for Awen to come out, but in A'dai's opinion, he just went in for a while and then came out of the butcher shop. He also changed his hairstyle and changed the clothes that were stained by the fish.

Dim was a little confused by Awen's expression after he came out, but one thing was certain: after staying there for such a long time, Awen definitely had something bad in his mind.

But she couldn't really tell the noble behind her that Awen was up to no good. She'd seen it all, a bulge under Awen's clothes. Even if the noble could run away, she might not be able to. People are so vulnerable to being killed by a single blow.

Dim suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard in the tavern before: "Those people in the ELO organization don't care about their lives. Don't confront them unless you have something to worry about. They just want to live a good life and won't mess with you unless you have something to worry about."

By the way, the two businessmen who were talking hadn't been to that tavern for a long time. They used to come here every day, ordering a few glasses of whiskey and chatting there until midnight. Maybe they liked other shops now.

As a result, Awen took the two of them directly to the trash can, then took out a set of old clothes from under his clothes and handed it to A-Dai.

Then she said before Dim could ask any more questions: "Put it on, otherwise you can't get in."

"I just got this gear, and I haven't worn it for long." After equipping the clothes in the equipment bar, Ah Dai was shocked. "Oh my god, this piece of clothing has no defense value at all. How is this different from running naked?"

Ah Dai followed Ah Wen's steps closely. At this moment, she was looking forward to directly entering the ELO base camp, attacking the enemy directly, and eliminating the core members of ELO in one fell swoop.

In Ah Dai's imagination, those people should be a group of empty-minded, lazy thugs, and the place where they gather should be dead no matter what.

But the scene before her was completely different from what she had imagined. Everyone she saw on the road was in good spirits. She didn't know how to describe it. That kind of vigorous vitality was devilishly infectious, enough to make even an old man forget his real age.

Unlike the outside world, which is not dead but does not inspire people to strive, everyone here moves with full hope, driven by the belief and certainty that their efforts can change their destiny.

"Is this the 'Peach Blossom Spring'? It feels completely different from what I imagined. Does anyone in the comments know why? Could it be the setting of the ugly place? I really think this place is so harmonious." Ah Dai muttered to herself. She no longer hurried on with her head down, but walked and stopped at the side, intending to tease passersby.

[A-Dai, promise me you'll download the anti-fraud app, okay? This is obviously very dangerous.]

There aren't many children this innocent these days.

[Most cults, when you first meet their members, you will feel that they are nice people, but you will soon find out that it is all an illusion.]

[The term "emotionally stable lunatic" best describes them.]

Listen to me, Ah Dai, just find someone and start cursing at the commander. If they think you're sick, that's normal. If they curse back at you, or even try to get physical with you, you're definitely a cult.

"What kind of devilish behavior is this? Even a normal person would beat me, right?" Ah Dai controlled the character to move forward, and suddenly picked out the "search" symbol in the grass.

After picking it up, I found it was a book. [You have obtained [a damaged diary].]

After clicking on the inventory, vague information came into view.

[One, two, three, ...one word at a time]

The first piece of paper was only half rotten, and the handwriting on the next dozen or so pages was so blurry that Ah Dai just clicked on them hastily.

I wanted to join ELO, but was rejected. The commander said I was too young and it wasn't my place. But... he encouraged me, telling me to eat well and grow taller so I could get by. After all, most people in the slums don't know their birthdates, so anyone who's 1.4 meters tall is considered an adult.

Today's food is low. We're running low. Students are guaranteed food, so I saved some and gave it to the old lady next door. She patched up my clothes, and they look like new.

The handwriting on the paper was indeed quite childish, and all the characters were rounded. As the saying goes, "the handwriting reflects the character of the person", I think he is also a well-behaved child. Ah Dai couldn't help but sigh, "He seems to be a good and obedient student."

The words on the next page are basically blurry, and the few words that can be vaguely recognized are:

[Food is here... Yun Shuo... You're right, those people deserve to die!]

After this passage, all the remaining papers were covered with phrases like "Damn it! Damn it! Kill, kill, kill!!"

A-Dai, who originally thought that the commander had done something humane when he saw him not allowing the child to enter ELO, was almost confused by the contrast.

Everything was going smoothly just a moment ago, but suddenly you went crazy. If you say there is no problem with your ELO organization, I won’t believe you!

"It also mentioned Yun Shuo. I guess he's not a good guy either. Judging from the following words, Yun Shuo should also be a member of the brainwashing army. He is definitely not just an unlucky guy who was fooled, but a complete accomplice."

Thinking of this, Ah Dai was a little worried whether he could still see Yun Shuo. It seemed that the other party's status was extremely high. Would that NPC let him in?

Chapter 41: Players Explode Gold Coins

What Ah Dai was worried about would never happen. Yun Shuo was waiting for her. At this moment, he was sitting quietly on a chair, waiting for Ah Wen to bring someone over.

"Commander, don't we really need more people? Wouldn't it be bad for you to confront her alone?" Willis was so anxious that he was running around in circles. It wasn't because he was worried that Yun Shuo couldn't beat the adventurer named "A-Dai", but mainly because this matter was too unsafe.

In Willis's opinion, Yun Shuo has been on the brink of death for many days. Before, he did not have the ability to protect him and could only let his commander take the risk. But now he finally has the ability to protect him, but he doesn't want to kill him. How can he not be anxious?

"If anything happens to you, the ELO organization will most likely fall into chaos." Willis looked at Yun Shuo's calm expression and couldn't help but persuade him again.

"Aren't you here?" Yun Shuo calmly turned a page of the book in his hand and said, "To be honest, sometimes I really think that this is enough. We just need to protect the inside and let the outside go. But..."

"But we have to resist because their knives are always hanging over our heads and can chop us down at any time. We only want to farm, but the problem is that our land is not ours, at least they don't think it is ours."

"The only solution is to drive them off our land. Come on, don't you have enough to do? Get to work, the people here are counting on you."

After driving the people out, Yun Shuo asked the system, "Why can we only receive blessings in the temples of those nobles? If we also build a statue of the god, can we also receive blessings?"

"Host, I'm here. Actually, this is impossible, because there's only one true temple in the city of Kori. The gods designated that location as the temple, and the city then existed around that area. This is why the layout of most cities, including Kori, resembles an irregular concentric circle."

"How do gods exist?"

[What are you thinking? No matter what you're thinking, I advise you to give up that dangerous idea.] The system felt for the first time that its current could flow so fast, and immediately interpreted the hidden meaning in Yun Shuo's words.

Damn it, he actually wants to kill God!

[Deities have nothing to do with whether or not people believe in them. They grant divine power simply based on preference. The existence of a deity statue is more like a live streaming platform. The deity is the wealthy, and divine power is the money. Whether the wealthy pay or not is secondary, but no matter what, they have to know about this female anchor.]

Yun Shuo continued to ask, "Then why is this game called 'Faith Crisis'? For gods, this kind of crisis situation cannot happen under any circumstances, right?"

[This is a later setting, I don’t know either.]

Yun Shuo did not ask any more questions, but spread out his hands and observed the black aura that gathered in his palms and then rose up in the sunlight.

Yun Shuo was silent, but the system that was called out by him became restless.

What is this? Why does this villain possess something I don't know about? Is this also a later setting? But, logically speaking, this world, besides the existence of divine powers, doesn't have demons, Satan, or anything like that.

The inquisitive system chose to go straight to [Host, what is this? ]

"Well, I don't know either." Yun Shuo closed his palms, then suddenly threw out a big melon, "By the way, I might have to kill a player later."

Huh? Thanks for letting me know!

The system was furious. [Host, if you don't want to live, can you please not drag me along? Every player who can enter this level has divine power. How are you going to kill them? Tell me how you kill them? Even if someone stands there and lets you hit them, you might not be able to break their defense.]

I'm so tired of hearing about whitewashing value. You don't care at all, right? You keep giving me promises, saying things like, "In a few days, the players will all be crying and saying they were wrong." But what's the result? Others at least come up with a plan when they give promises, but you just talk the talk! Why am I so miserable?

The system was crying out for help, but Yun Shuo was waiting for the players to get gold coins.

In the "Undercover" copy, Yun Shuo consciously killed Ah Dai, and then the plot of the game made him repeatedly kill multiple players in a state similar to parallel time and space.

It was nothing at first, but Yun Shuo suddenly found that there were a lot of equipment in his small basement. Only then did he realize that killing players would cause equipment to drop on the spot. The reason why he, the main body, did not notice it was simply because Ah Dai was too poor and nothing dropped.

Most importantly, it was still the early stages of the game, and players were somewhat protective of the land, so the items that dropped were all good. Although items blessed by divine power were still rare, they were still valuable enough.

This kind of painless equipment-farming job is really something that everyone would envy, but it's a pity that Yun Shuo only learned about this news after returning to ELO, and he wasted many opportunities to farm equipment in vain.

Now Ah Dai came to him on his own initiative, and Willis asked him not to see her. How could he not see her? This person is his "God of Wealth" and he is just waiting to get gold coins from her.

Before entering Yun Shuo's location, Dim suddenly clutched his stomach, curled up into a ball, and kept shouting, "Ouch, I can't take it anymore. I... I have to find somewhere to go... Um... Sir, I'm leaving now."

Awen, who had just said two minutes ago that she would be there soon, could naturally see that Dim was pretending, but no matter how angry and resentful she was, since Dim had taken the initiative to back down, she couldn't say anything more.

She called a brother over and whispered in his ear, "This person is a suspect. Please take her to jail. After I report to Mr. Willis, we will discuss the specific measures."

The other party immediately came over with a hearty laugh and shouted, "Don't mess around, I'll take you to the toilet." Then he grabbed Dim's arm, like an iron clamp making it impossible for him to break free.

"No, I can go by myself." Dim laughed awkwardly, but a gun was quietly pressed against her stomach, and she immediately changed her words, "Thank you, brother."

"Hehehe, no trouble, no trouble." The person on the other side also responded very cheerfully, if you ignore the gun he was holding below.

Ah Dai watched Dim walk away in confusion. Seeing that Ah Wen was still walking forward, he quickly popped up a dialog box, [Shouldn't we wait for her?]

And Awen just said, "It's almost too late, we have to speed up." Then he hurried forward.

Ah Dai became anxious when he heard this and hurried to catch up.

Chapter 42: What are you waiting for?

After leaving Ella, Yun Shuo changed into the black clothes that covered him tightly, as if he had no idea that the guy walking in front of him had bad intentions.

He gestured towards the chair opposite him, his attitude frank and his words gentle, completely lacking the disdain and arrogance he had when he sat next to Ella before. "Please sit down, Miss Dai."

"I never thought we'd meet again like this, you traitor!"

Ah Dai immediately framed someone with a crime. Although she had already decided to get rid of Yun Shuo, the plot of this conversation was mandatory.

"Is it true that all villains die because they talk too much? Can we come up with something new and novel? This plot can't be skipped." Ah Dai was just planning to arrange a "jump kill" for Yun Shuo as soon as they met, so that he could vent his anger for being killed directly, but the plot point was stuck.

Yun Shuo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ah Dai, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips, "I don't dare to be a traitor. I'm just a little tougher than you, so I didn't become someone else's running dog."

[Running dog? Do you truly believe your ELO organization is just? Your commander, driven by his own desires, is about to wage war against an undefeated force, attempting to write his own chapter with the blood of ordinary people. Even so, will you still choose to follow him?]

"Yes," Yun Shuo replied as a matter of course. "How can you determine who will win without a fight? Just like you want to kill me, how can you know the outcome without a fight? From the moment you entered the ELO organization's territory, your every move has been under my surveillance."

At this time, two options appeared on the screen, one was [Battle] and the other was [Continue Chatting].

Ah Dai hesitated for a moment. Now that he had entered the plot, he naturally wanted to know as much as possible. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to keep the questions in his heart.

[You knew it was me, so why did you still want to see me? ]

Yun Shuo did not reply immediately, but untied the scarf wrapped around his face one by one and took off a mask.

Ah Dai looked at Yun Shuo in bewilderment. "Is this face so unapproachable? Why are you covering it so tightly? You can't have added another layer of protection because you realized that the scarf was easily falling off when you just wore it before."

Yun Shuo was still moving slowly, and only after putting all the obstructions aside did he speak: "Because I'm also curious about the approximate level of your strength. In other words..."

He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly apart, his eyes filled with indifference and disdain. He tilted his head slightly and asked softly, "Do you deserve to kill me?"

As soon as the words fell, the two immediately entered combat mode.

"Seriously, it's easy for me, Ah Dai, to kill you. Who am I? I have supernatural powers, okay? And with that, you can still kill me in seconds?"

【A-Dai, stand up! 】

[It's time to let Yun Shuo understand Ah Dai's hand speed and what strength is! ]

【Let him go crazy again! 】

[No more words, it feels so good! ]

Ah Dai's eyes were fixed on the computer, his fingers moving quickly on the keyboard and mouse, his face full of confidence.

But she soon found that she couldn't move at all. No matter how she controlled the character, she could only sit there as if she was frozen.

"No, am I stuck? Stuck at this time? No! I can't move, I can't move at all!"

Ah Dai was so anxious that she clicked around with her mouse. Although she couldn't fight, she could still talk back, so she could only quickly pop the dialog box over. [What did you do?]

"It's just a little bit of medicine." Yun Shuo smiled as he approached the frightened Ah Dai. Then he passed by her and opened the window. Looking back in the bright sunshine outside, he smiled and said, "How is the new product developed by ELO? While you can still speak, why not give me some feedback?"

I can’t give feedback in the game for the time being, but A-Dai’s feedback in the live broadcast room is really wonderful.

"No, who on earth is capable of playing this game? No matter how bad I am, I can't be killed every time, right? This Yun Shuo is a psychopath, right? If you have what it takes, come and fight me with bayonets! What are you doing here releasing poison gas? Can you fight me openly? There's no one like you!"

Ah Dai looked panicked, covering her face with her hands in despair. Her ponytails had been twisted into jellyfish shapes in despair, while she kept muttering, "Cheating, he's cheating... There's no such thing in the setting."

[There's no poison gas, but there are tranquilizers. I remember someone getting hit by one.]

[No wonder he wears that mask-like thing, apparently he's trying to protect you.]

【Yun Shuo: I'm chatting with you to delay time, what are you chatting with me for? 】

[I should have gone straight in when I could have fought before.]

[Yun Shuo: I'm waiting for the medicine to take effect. What are you waiting for?]

[Which villain would talk to you about martial ethics? ]

Ah Dai shook her head in despair and sat back in front of the computer. She smiled bleakly and said, "From now on, nothing can shake me in the slightest."

In the scene, Yun Shuo had already pointed the gun at Ah Dai's head. Ah Dai was ready to accept her fate, but she still said stubbornly, "Sooner or later, you will regret supporting such a cruel commander. Today, although I die, justice will not die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Shuo suddenly lowered his arm.

"No way? He finally has a conscience?" Ah Dai pushed his messy hair aside, "I told you I'm still good at talking."

But he found that Yun Shuo just bent down and put the bullet at the player character's temple in a more comfortable posture.
