I'm bad, but players love me

"Ella compared herself to a lighthouse at night, while Yun Shuo said the sun had risen, implying that the world no longer needed a lighthouse."

"Honestly, if a real fight breaks out, I'd be hard-pressed to abandon all the infrastructure I've worked so hard on. I've been working on it for ages. Okay, I've done my analysis. Now, it's time to get down to business."

Gouzi logged back into "Crisis of Faith" and the dawn of the next day had arrived.

For the first time in years, the beer hall opened its doors to the public at dawn.

"Remember, our only goal is to recapture those civilians who were forcibly abducted to serve as soldiers. Don't do anything else, not even a single thing. Otherwise, you will become the murderer who causes the unnecessary death of everyone here! Did you hear me?!" The boss took off his suit vest, stood in the same position as last night, and shouted loudly.

The beer hall was packed with people, each holding a gun. As the boss finished speaking, everyone raised their guns and shouted in unison: "Got it!"

"Take as many bullets as possible. Remember, each of these bullets can increase your chances of survival. Don't forget the explosives!" The boss kept reminding everyone like a mother reminding her child on the first day of school.

Because the location of their operation this time is the homes of various nobles, the situation is urgent because those poor young people will soon be sent to the military camp together, and by that time, it will be really powerless to save them.

They couldn't possibly go to the military headquarters and demand the return of the people, could they? They'd never seen anyone do that, even if they were sending themselves to death.

The sky was not yet fully light, appearing a dark blue, but no one could sleep that night.

They marched towards their goal in a mighty manner.

Two sleepy guards were holding Springfield rifles and knocking their heads against them until loud footsteps came to their side. One of them opened his sleepy eyes impatiently.

After the "bang bang" gunshots, they were no longer forced to stay up late and were completely immersed in sweet dreams.

The body was kicked away casually, but the gun in his hand was secretly confiscated and carried on his back as a spare.

The continuous gunshots did not seem to wake up this magnificent manor, and everything was still quiet.

The boss led them deeper into the manor. She had bought relevant information long before, and the seemingly complicated terrain of the manor was just a piece of cake for her.

She was so smooth that she quickly found the people trapped in the cages.

They all seemed to have been whipped, and some were even so unconscious that they hid when they saw the light. They all huddled in a corner of the cage, looking at these people with guns in horror.

A man hurriedly pushed through the crowd and rushed towards the cage, but he carefully took out the wire and repeatedly fiddled with the huge lock outside the cage.

Less than five seconds later, after a crisp "click", the man put the lock on the ground. He checked the people in the cage in the moonlight, then shook his head in disappointment, "No, they are not my daughters."

The boss helped the dejected man up. "But they are other people's daughters. Come on, get them out. We have to speed up."

After all, the torture was relatively short, and the little girls quickly climbed out of the cage with the help of each other.

The group's departure did not wake anyone up, as if there were no other living people in the manor except the two guards.

The boss felt strange and even wondered if this was a conspiracy.

But some people in the group found their own children, who were crying bitterly. However, in order to continue to rescue other people's children, they could only continue to move forward while crying silently. Some people even hung their previous trophies - two rifles - on the children, hoping that they could protect themselves.

Everyone was rushing to go, but I, the one who first proposed it, had to back out halfway. The parents who found their children wouldn't say anything, but those who didn't would probably never listen to me and go back.

Rather than letting these people who can't even use guns well go to die in vain, adding myself will at least bring some think tank and experience with me.

The boss sighed and thought it would be better to solve the problem quickly under the moonlight.

According to the old rules of the weather, there has been smog in recent days. Although it is not so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you, the visibility is not high. As long as the sky is not completely bright, it is not difficult to save most people's lives. She still has this confidence in herself.

But the strange thing is that nothing happened during their journey. The whole process was the same: kill the guard - find the cage directly - rescue the person - run away.

This was too strange, as no noble had noticed their whereabouts. If it had been just one or two, the boss would have chalked it up to good luck, but when it happened five or six times in a row, it was unavoidable that people were uneasy.

But no one noticed this. The joy of saving others clouded their minds. All they wanted to do now was to rush to the last noble family - Luo Lan, to rescue their companions.

Chapter 69: Sure enough, something strange happened

"Hurry up, it's almost dawn!" The boss looked worriedly at the sun that was slowly peeking out from the clouds not far away.

How much longer would they have? An hour? Less than half an hour? Those damned fogs also hindered his judgment of time.

The ominous premonition was like vultures circling high in the sky. They were waiting and could descend upon him at any time and anywhere, just like those damn noble guards could appear beside him at any time and anywhere.

The boss reiterated, "Once daybreak arrives, we must retreat! Regardless of whether we successfully rescue the remaining children, our top priority now is to save our own lives. Remember this!"

The rescued children were all taken back in advance, and people just reverently kissed the foreheads of their children whom they had not seen for many days, and whispered: "My dear children, please believe that I will definitely go back and reunite with you." Then they watched their children leave safely.

They gripped their guns tightly, secretly counted the remaining bullets in their bodies, and resolutely followed the team forward.

From time to time, someone in the team would come there to ease the atmosphere, and the many easy rescues made some people feel that these nobles were nothing special.

"It's said that these noble gentlemen are different from us. It's already this late, and not a single person in the whole house is out of bed."

"Don't underestimate them, they are nobles."

"What's wrong with the nobles? Haven't we met anyone capable of fighting them yet?" The man raised the gun in his hand. "No wonder it's so expensive and always out of stock. This thing is really useful!"

Someone else chimed in, "That's right. Noble or not, they should at least have a chance to fight back. They fired one bullet, and they went straight after that god before they even saw us."

"It seems to be called the God of Machines."

"Oh yes, yes, that's her."

As a human being, there is some heroism in him. Although he failed to fight any big battles, he still felt happy to rescue the weak and pitiful oppressed.

"These nobles are really not human beings." Every time Gou Zi entered a noble's house, he would say this.

Logically speaking, after the same plot is repeated five or six times, no matter how novel it is, it will become boring.

But what Gouzi didn't expect was that the nobles in "Crisis of Faith" could be so perverted. They tortured people in so many different ways, and they were all perverted methods that didn't hurt the root of the problem but could definitely make people behave.

That's right. After all, people are still needed to go to the battlefield and fight for them. How can they be tortured to death or disabled?

Since I mentioned it, Gouzi also asked a question, "No, I remember this was a female-dominated game? With such cruelty, is there really anyone who would be willing to play it?"

The bottom line for being ugly is quite flexible. Currently, the ELO team is mostly male, so why do you want to create something that will please the men?

[Don't overthink it. Why can't girls just be intimate with other girls? Maybe it's just a special plot to satisfy a certain type of person?]

So, why do you think there are so few female characters in the noble faction, which has more female players? I think there are only Ella and Lumi, and the rest are just male characters.

[These two are just to give players a high status. What is "upward socialization"?]

[Speaking of which, where's that new character, Yialos? Why haven't we seen him yet?]

[I know this question. If you talk more about guns, this person will show up on their own. He's a gun enthusiast. I don't recommend saying his guns are bad, as it will seriously hurt your favorability.]

Gouzi was just about to give it a try, but his hand trembled and he was thrown straight into the plot. "Forget it, let's wait until we return triumphantly and see if we can raise Ialos's favorability. I've already drawn him, but his favorability is low, so he's really rubbish to play with. The initial value is too low, I'll see if I can use it after upgrading, after all, he's just a three-star character."

The boss successfully killed the sentries again and found the imprisoned girl.

The skilled locksmith opened the door again, but this time he was not faced with the girls' timid gazes and tentatively extended hands, but a dark and deep muzzle of a gun.

Death happened in an instant. The locksmith fell down limply before he even had time to think about what happened. The blood from his heart slowly soaked into the clothes his child bought him after he earned his first money. He hoped that this piece of clothes would allow his child to recognize him as soon as possible, even though it was a very ordinary style of clothes.

The people who had been going smoothly all the time were panicked at this moment. Although Gou Zi, the player, was surprised, he quickly cooperated with the pub owner to deal with these guys.

It wouldn't be that hard to hit someone in a cage, not to mention it wasn't the first time the dog had played a shooting game.

The boss had no time to comfort these civilians whose hands were shaking. They had not received any training at all, so it was inevitable that they would panic, but now was no longer the time to play house.

It's all a conspiracy.

Those ignorant sentries and these girls who had prepared in advance were all bait prepared by the nobles. The nobles before were not awakened by anyone at home, but no one was home at all.

No wonder the obvious gunshots didn't wake them up. I guess everyone had left a long time ago.

But now they have been completely blocked in this dungeon by these people.

The boss didn't even need to show his head to see what was happening at the dungeon entrance. He knew that those people were like cats guarding a mouse hole, just waiting for his group to show their heads. As soon as they showed their heads, everyone would die.

Gouzi originally wanted to ask, why did you take action now? Isn’t it a loss that so many people died?

Suddenly, he realized something: those nobles might not even consider those sentinels as human beings. It was just the loss of one or two consumables, so what was there to say?

Dim was forcibly pulled awake from his sleep, thinking that this was another new trick that his master had come up with out of his mind. However, the housekeeper came up and gave each of them a gun, and asked them to lie down in the designated place and wait.

Dim waited in confusion from dusk till dawn. Just as he was about to take a nap, he heard a loud gunshot at the door.

This frightened him so much that he subconsciously wanted to get up and run, but when he saw that everyone around him was still lying down, and thought about the gun in his hand, he decided to lie down obediently.

A large group of people sneaked in through the door. No one noticed the people hiding in the newly built garden, and they all rushed into the dungeon in a hurry.

Thinking of the guys who were caught two days ago, Dim instantly understood.

It was obvious that these guys were from ELO. Speaking of this, Dim got angry.

That stupid Awen, don't you even realize what a piece of shit organization you joined? You just entered with such fanfare? Only a complete novice would do such a stupid thing.

Although I had a falling out with someone before, there is no overnight hatred between sisters.

Dim was too embarrassed to admit that he was really moved by Yun Shuo's words. His body had honestly returned, but his heart might not have gone anywhere.

Seeing the butler coldly saying that he wanted to shoot everyone in the dungeon, Dim's eyes widened.

No, what if Awen is in there? She is really proactive in doing things.

She quickly rushed to the front, her eyes rolling, and she opened her mouth to the butler, "Master Butler, please forgive me for being blunt. Why don't we just let them surrender? These are all human beings. Didn't you capture a group of them not long ago? They can be of use to you at least."

The housekeeper looked coldly at Dim, who was smiling coquettishly at her. "What? Do you have a way to make them surrender? Then why don't you guess whether they have weapons in their hands. And guess whether their surrender is sincere or false?"

"This……"

"What the hell!" the butler shouted angrily. "Why should we waste our time and energy on these guys? Also, although I've given up hope on your stupid brain, you have to understand that only people like you would call people like them 'people'. After all, you're equals, right?"

Dim simply lowered his head, as if he had no self-respect at all. In the face of such direct insults, he still smiled flatteringly and happily, "Yes, Master Butler is right."

No, we must find a way to rescue them.

Dim's eyes darkened, and he was about to argue again. "But they have guns after all. If we resist stubbornly, it would be terrible if they get hurt. This garden has just been repaired. If they accidentally destroy it, the master might be angry."

For those nobles, the lives of their servants were the least important thing, not even as trivial as a scratched nail.

Dim's words did make the butler wary.

"Then you try it." The butler signaled everyone to step back two steps and let Dim stand in the front.

Dim didn't have a loudspeaker, so he could only curl his palms and make a sound. "Listen up, everyone inside! Just put down your guns and give up resistance! Our honorable Lord Luo Lan will never harm you! Put down your weapons and you can live! If you insist on resisting, you will die!"

The sound entered the dungeon, and many people hesitated. They all looked at the boss who was in deep thought, but the boss did not respond at all.

"Enough!" Someone couldn't help but break the silence. "What should we do? Putting it off like this isn't a solution."

Gouzi knew it was time for him to make his grand entrance. He stood up and said, "We only have one way to go, and that is to fight our way out! With the guns in our hands!"

"But……"

Dim's shouts continued to be heard from outside, "Think about your family, think about your future!"

"Do we even have a future?" Gouzi continued, "Wake up! These people won't let us go! If we want to survive, there's only one way! Concentrate fire, aim at the cave entrance, and kill every last one we can!"

Everyone was shocked by this statement. They looked again at their leader, the beer hall owner, who took a deep breath and stood up. "I agree with the idea that I'm Yun Shuo's dog. There's only one way out now, fight our way out!"

He turned to the person beside him and asked, "Where's Yialos? He's more skilled with guns than I am."

Everyone looked at each other, "We've never seen him."

Damn traitor! We agreed to fight together, but now we can't even see him! As expected, none of the gun dealers are good.

"It's okay, we won't care about him." The boss patted the dog's shoulder. "Good job. With your courage, if we can get out of this alive, I will work with you in the future!"

After saying that, the boss took the lead and walked forward, "Let's go! Kill those bastards who are worse than pigs and dogs!"

"Kill!" Gou Zi shouted murderously along with the others.

At this moment, everyone was ready to die.

At least the child had escaped. My death was worth it!

Dim was very panicked when he saw that there was no response from inside for a long time. Not to mention the old butler's eyes that were like needles piercing his back, just looking at the current position, if the people inside were unwilling to give in and would fight to the end, he would definitely be the first to be finished.

Dim gnashed his teeth and thought: Oh my god, please agree. You damn Awen, I really risked my life to save you.

But she had to turn her back and give the housekeeper a smile to comfort him.

Just as Dim was shouting until his voice was almost hoarse and was preparing to run away in fear, fearing that he would be killed, gunshots were heard from behind him.

Dim was so frightened that he jumped up, his hands raised to his head uncontrollably, and his legs jumped up in a horse stance. "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I haven't killed anyone yet!"

Yun Shuo didn't expect that Dim would be so funny when he saw her again after their last separation.

He raised his hand to signal for the attack to stop. The noise was so loud that the people inside should have noticed it.

Just as Gouzi was about to lead the charge, there was a burst of gunfire outside. Then the familiar voice that had just urged them to surrender rang out again, but the words it said had become "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Everyone in the dungeon was stunned. What should they do? Go out, or stay? Are there friendly forces outside?

As the newly promoted "boss of bosses," Gouzi naturally had to lead by example. "I'm going to go out and take a look. If I wait a long time and they don't come back, it means those people outside are not good people."
