The tower cannot be seen at the top, and the intricate black and white strips intersect with each other, making it difficult to determine one's position.
"This is a kind of cover!" Cheng Peng instantly determined the reason for painting the room in such a strange color - no matter how powerful a person is, he will lose control of the space to a certain extent when he suddenly comes here from the outside world.
, causing the shot to lose accuracy.
It seems that the Greed Island is really not peaceful. Even the game administrators have to use various methods to protect themselves... After taking two steps in the black and white space, Cheng Peng opened the door in front.
.
"Welcome, Mr. Cheng Peng." Facing us are countless horizontal bars that are completely opposite to the previous ones, the same blurred black and white - no, there are subtle differences in color... And in the center of the room, there is a suspended
Behind the technological console, a girl wearing a sci-fi style helmet sat, and the words of welcome came from the girl's mouth.
In the next few minutes, the girl explained the rules of the game to Cheng Peng in detail - in fact, it is easy to understand. Each player has a special set of equipment. The record card is used for character information, and the matching ring is in
A special magic book can be summoned in Greed Island.
"In this world, valuable things can only be saved as cards. You can turn anything you obtain into cards at any time, and you can also turn them back into their original form at any time - but please remember: 1. Cards turn back into cards.
The original card cannot be turned into a card; 2. The number of cards for each item is limited. If the existing card exceeds the limit, it cannot be turned into a card; 3. The card will automatically turn into the original card ten minutes after leaving the magic book.
; 4. If the character dies, the magic book will disappear and the cards in it will also disappear... That’s all the instructions, I wish you a happy game!"
Cheng Peng listened to the explanation attentively, then thanked him and left the tower.
In front of him was the vast prairie, and behind him, the building that he thought was a tower turned out to be just an ordinary thatched house.
Cheng Peng felt that someone was spying on him in the distance, but he didn't pay attention. Instead, he just found a place to sit down and browsed the beautiful scenery around him.
After a while, Wang Ji also came out.
"It's the same setting as the original work." Wang Ji said with a smile, "This seems to be very beneficial to us."
"Oh? What's the advantage?"
"Most of the players in Greed Island are not very powerful hunters. With your strength, you can grab all the cards by force!" Wang Ji said with a smile on his face, "Even if we don't get rewards for clearing levels,
, at least having more cards makes it easier to exchange information with others."
What he said makes sense.
No matter what the rules of the game are, force is always useful as long as it is not a world of entertainment life.
Take Hisoka for example, if Cheng Peng and Zhou Dong hadn't joined forces and had enough force to capture him alive, how could he have surrendered? Threatening with words instead of strength is not the usual style of the evil people in this world——
He said words that looked fierce but were actually weak, and finally took out Batra's business card, which all proved that he had given in.
In fact, according to his character, he should have directly resisted and tried to kill Cheng Peng and Zhou Dong. Unfortunately, neither of these two people was weaker than him. The two of them joined forces to give him no chance to fight, so he
Will be so honest.
But even so, if Cheng Peng and the others insisted on arresting Xisuo, this arrogant guy would still rather commit suicide than be arrested without mercy.
As a plot NPC, he will not die outside of the plot, so Cheng Peng and Zhou Dong can't really kill him for a while; if they catch him, he will commit suicide... so this matter becomes unsolvable
Cheng Peng and Zhou Dong basically have nothing to do with Xisuo - they can blast this guy once, twice... but after all, they can't blast something too good. They want to use this to get enough money to buy "Greed"
The tens of billions of ringbacks for the "Island" game console are nothing short of a fantasy.
But in the end, the threat of force still played a role.
Cheng Peng's eyes and words all proved that "even if he won't be killed, he will at least be beaten." Of course Hisoka didn't want to be beaten - and it was probably not beaten once, but "beaten every time he encountered it", so he
I had no choice but to take out something to redeem myself.
"I really didn't expect to get the opportunity to enter the Greed Island directly!" When Cheng Peng informed Wang Ji how he got the business card, the intelligence businessman sighed, "I thought you had to try to buy a game console..."
"That's what I thought too." Cheng Peng said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be solved all at once, but now I owe Xisuo a favor!"
"What kind of favor is there to talk about with an NPC—and a villain NPC? It's fine if you don't kill him! If you ask me, this card is just money to buy his life, there is no such thing as a favor."
Cheng Peng smiled and said nothing.
Everyone has a different attitude towards life. Wang Ji's attitude is similar to Xu Tu's. He does not regard NPCs in the virtual world as human beings. Cheng Peng's attitude is different. Even if the other party is an NPC, even if the other party is a bad guy, it should be regarded as a favor.
It still needs to be calculated.
He originally only planned to capture Hisoka in exchange for two billion, but in order to raise enough money to buy a game console, he didn't know how much time and energy it would take. As a result, Hisoka helped him solve it all at once... Even if he didn't think about it from now on
In the few months between the big auction in Youkesin City, even if you only estimate the value of the "Greed Island" ticket at the lowest price of 10 billion, you will get an extra 8 billion out of thin air.
!
Eight billion nuns is a huge sum of money, and Cheng Peng thinks it is a good deal to save Xisuo just for this money.
"I always feel a little silly..." Wang Ji naturally saw Cheng Peng's attitude, shrugged his shoulders and muttered in a low voice.
But although he disapproved of Cheng Peng's behavior, he couldn't help but trust Cheng Peng even more because of it.
A person who can be fair and principled even to NPCs can naturally treat players the same way. At the very least, he is much more reliable than those who are openly selfish!
Even those who are selfish and dishonest still hope to make friends who are honest and trustworthy - it is precisely because of this that Cheng Peng has so many friends.
It was precisely because of this that Wang Ji did not stop Cheng Peng from letting the player who tried to attack them with magic leave after an hour.
It's funny to say that the guy used flying magic to come to the "birthplace". After seeing Cheng Peng and Wang Ji, he first summoned the magic book - probably intending to use magic to spy on whether the two had cards, but he hadn't yet
Before he could cast a spell, Cheng Peng pushed him to the ground and slashed his neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious immediately.
So when Wang Ji poured cold water on him and woke him up, he found that he had been tied up and two newcomers who thought they were fat sheep were looking at him unkindly.
"I don't like people plotting against me." Cheng Peng said, although his tone was not serious, but combined with Wang Ji's fierce eyes next to him, it seemed very convincing, "Those who want to plot against me have to pay a price."
The man looked desperately at Cheng Peng and Wang Ji - especially the magic book in Wang Ji's hand, which was his magic book.
Without the magic book, it would be impossible for him to escape even if he wanted to.
"Tell me, what price do you want me to pay?" The self-proclaimed veteran sighed and said dejectedly, "Why are you so powerful a novice? I originally thought that all the master hunters have already played the game.
It’s a chance…”
"Hand over all the cards!" Wang Ji shouted proudly.
The man raised his head with a sarcastic smile on his face: "I handed it all over, so I can die, right?"
Having his dirty thoughts revealed, Wang Ji couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In anger, he raised his fists and knocked the man to the ground, giving him a severe beating.
Fortunately, this guy also practiced "Nian". With the protection of Nian, Wang Ji's hard punch to the flesh only hit him as big as a pig's head, but he was still able to stand up.
"Okay, let him go." After Wang Ji was a little tired from the beating, Cheng Peng broke the rope on the man with one palm, "I have learned a lesson, I believe he will learn well next time."
Wang Ji did not object to this decision - he also saw that this guy was the type who would rather die than hand over the card. Even if he killed someone, he would not get anything. Although he felt that it would be okay to kill this guy directly.
There was nothing wrong with it, but since Cheng Peng planned to release him, he accepted Cheng Peng's approach.
"There are many types of enemies." After the pig-headed guy left in the light of magic, Cheng Peng explained to Wang Ji, "There are no more than 800 players in Greed Island, so why bother with this?"
Why kill people because of conflict? This guy just wants to use magic to steal our cards. Even if he succeeds, he will not pose any danger to us. But if he dies, maybe the next person who comes in will be someone who is really good at killing people and grabbing treasures, or even
Maybe a master... Even though we are always enemies, such enemies are better than more dangerous enemies."
Wang Ji nodded in agreement. Cheng Peng's explanation was not only timely, but also very convincing. Although Wang Ji himself was a little selfish and didn't care much about credit issues, he was not the kind of person who said, "Anyone who stands in my way, whether it's a god or a Buddha."
He is not a cold-blooded person who can kill fairies, fathers, mothers, and wives with one blow, nor is he an ignorant boy who daydreams about "I am born to defy heaven," so he accepted Cheng Peng after some thought.
point of view.
In the next few days, the two followed the clues that Wang Ji had found and walked all the way in the "Greed Island", and finally came to a small town located in the north of the Greed Island.
This town is very small, with only a few players in it, and one of them is the player who informed Wang Ji of this information.
This man was a Frenchman named Phil. He gave himself a Chinese name called "Li Xiao", and his ID on the forum was "Big Sword Bear" - when Cheng Peng and Wang Ji saw him,
He was wearing a bearskin and carrying a broad sword, sitting by the lake fishing.
"You guys came much earlier than I expected." After the two explained their intention, the player who insisted that Wang Ji go to Greed Island to meet him before he would explain everything smiled and picked up the empty fishhook, "Let's go, let's go to the humble house first.
