Chapter 1194 Target: Liu Sheng
But taking action is not easy.

Moreover, now that only Lin Jiuniang is left, they need to be even more careful and cautious.

Ideally, it should hit the target on the first strike.

Even if we can't kill them all, we must at least inflict significant damage on the new world.

It could even break your spine!
In the end, they can only fall one by one like dominoes.

Thinking about it this way, there's only one goal—

Clan Chief Liu Sheng.

According to her observation, this group of people only came together under Liu Sheng's organization, and they didn't resemble each other at all, despite talking about being family.

And those strange creatures were said to have been able to be reborn because of Liu Sheng.

The current miracle of Hongtu Building is also based on Liu Sheng.

Without Liu Sheng, the building will collapse.

Moreover, Liu Sheng is not considered strong among the members.

Lin Jiuniang could see clearly that Taibai Sword Immortal, Liu Hongshan, and Li Ming were the strongest among them.

If she wants to make a move against these people, she'll probably have to think it over carefully.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Sheng really is an ideal partner.

Therefore, Lin Jiuniang also gave up on taking action against Zhang Lan.

Even though we see them often.

If they were to target Zhang Lan and fail to achieve their goal in one strike, they would instead expose themselves, which would be a bad deal.

If you're going to choose, you should definitely choose the bigger one.

But the only problem is—

Liu Sheng doesn't appear often.

She occasionally appears, always accompanied by a group of people. Although she doesn't talk much or show off, she has a certain inexplicable charm that makes her instantly recognizable.

Lin Jiuniang could only observe from a distance and could not get close.

However, there are also benefits to observing for a long time.

She knew at least some information—

(1) Liu Sheng likes to eat walnut shortbread.

(2) Liu Sheng likes to recycle garbage and seems to have some hoarding tendencies.

(3) Liu Sheng never sleeps, as Melody revealed, so it is impossible to catch her in her dreams.

(4) Liu Sheng is a homebody who basically stays in the garage. Even when she recycles garbage, she does it using a few strange flying devices.

Oh, and she made those strange flying machines too.

This leads to the next piece of intelligence—

(5) Liu Sheng has extremely strong hands-on skills.

She was in charge of the renovation plan for the Hongtu Building, but she communicated ideas remotely with other New World members and team leaders via computer, so she rarely had to show her face.

Furthermore, the renovation plan utilizes a large number of cards.

The quantity is extremely large and the repetition rate is extremely high, which does not conform to the randomness of opening boxes.

It's highly likely that they all originated from Liu Sheng!
Could she possibly make cards?
Lin Jiuniang found it hard to believe.

But there doesn't seem to be any other explanation.

(6) Liu Sheng seems to be able to resolve the obsession of the ghost.

This ability is similar to the Purification Realm of the Infernal Palace, which can purify evil spirits for the use of the Infernal Palace.

That's why these strange creatures were willing to follow the new world.

Taking all this information into account, Lin Jiuniang felt a strange emotion rising within her. She felt that killing such a person directly would be a waste.

But they're not easy to kill either.

Her bloodline always followed, but was quickly detected and could only be swiftly annihilated without leaving a trace.

Therefore, Lin Jiuniang could only wait for Liu Sheng to be alone.

For her, it's fine to wait until the very last moment; there might be other teams colliding with the New World in the meantime.

In the end, she got the bargain.

However, this wait lasted for almost half a month.

As the safe zone shrinks, the chances of the remaining surviving teams encountering each other increase significantly, and battles are likely to occur from time to time.

To Lin Jiuniang's disappointment, she did not encounter the new world.

I don't know if it was luck or if I deliberately avoided it.

But is that even possible?
Lin Jiuniang was unsure.

In short, because it had never encountered any rivals, the new world quietly completed its transformation and upgrade.

The Grand Mansion has truly become an aircraft carrier with armed forces. It even armed a portion of the monsters into a guard force by looting numerous treasure chests.

If things continue like this, wouldn't the New World have an even greater advantage against other teams, making it even less likely for Lin Jiuniang to take advantage of any loopholes?
Fortunately, opportunities always come unexpectedly.

……

Lin Jiuniang was asleep.

Suddenly, I felt weightless, as if I had fallen into another dimension. The fragrance of flowers reached my nose, and when I opened my eyes, I was greeted by sunlight streaming in. I was standing at a crossroads.

The streets were lined with cherry blossom trees that were only found in the residences of top nobles. Lin Jiuniang had only seen them at the Izeta Group before, and had never seen so many.
Clumps and clusters, like a pink ocean.

A gust of wind blew, scattering petals like rain. Only then did Lin Jiuniang realize that she was wearing a bright red halter dress, revealing fine, dense scars on her arms and legs.

It was still her body.

However, this dress is completely not her style.

She was even wearing a pair of red high heels.

A brightly colored villa stands nestled among cherry blossom trees in the distance.

Like other games, although the surroundings are set up to look real, they are all just decorations, and you will encounter invisible walls as soon as you walk over them.

The only option was to head towards that villa.

As she took a step, a gust of wind, seemingly from nowhere, blew by, lifting her skirt and scattering romantic pink petals among the fabric.

In an instant, my vision was filled with many stunning sights and red hearts.

It seems the audience really liked her outfit.

However, Lin Jiuniang simply pursed her lips and gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands.

Once upon a time, she was a top-tier figure on the colorful planet, but now she has to wear clothes she doesn't like and be the butt of people's jokes.

But what choice does she have?

Walking through the snow-white fence gate outside the villa, and following the heart-shaped path paved with pebbles, you'll find neatly trimmed lawns on both sides, as well as a garden adorned with blooming flowers, and in the garden stands a small pinkish-green wooden house.

At the end of the heart-shaped path is a large red door.

There were many slippers placed by the door, along with a small sign that read:

Please choose a pair of slippers.

Lin Jiuniang saw that these slippers came in various sizes, seemingly divided into women's and men's styles, and in five colors—red, orange, yellow, green, and purple.

It seems there are 10 people participating in this game.

Ultimately, she chose the red women's version.

Stepping inside, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere with greenery, heart-shaped cushions, and cute decorations. Sunlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a view of the beautiful garden outside.

Everything was so beautiful it felt like a lifetime ago.

Lin Jiuniang almost forgot that she had come here from that dark and terrifying cold night.

There was also a small blackboard with the rules of the cabin written on it.

Rule 1: Please create a positive first impression and refrain from attacking each other.

[Rule Two: This is a small cabin for everyone to live in for seven days. Please keep it clean and hygienic.]

[Rule 3: With ingredients in the refrigerator and cupboards, feel free to cook a delicious meal and enjoy our wonderful life together.]

[Rule 4: The second floor is a rest area. Each person should select one room. Please be sure to rest in your room after midnight to avoid affecting the itinerary for the next day.]

Rule 5: Please follow the program's schedule. Those who disobey will be removed from the cabin.

"Seven days?"

Lin Jiuniang was surprised.

This is the first time I've participated in a game that lasts this long.

Judging from these rules alone, they seem quite warm and normal. Of course, she wouldn't believe Gao Wei and guess that something must be hidden beneath the surface.

She went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and cupboards, and saw that there were indeed a wide variety of ingredients and drinks.

Seeing the full cabinet of liquor, Lin Jiuniang simply poured herself a glass of whiskey.

The icy liquor slid down my throat, leaving a burning aftertaste that instantly cleared my muddled mind.

Lin Jiuniang breathed a sigh of relief. It had been a long time since she had drunk such good wine.

It seems there are some benefits to entering this game.

Holding a wine glass, I wandered around and saw a terrace next to the living room. Outside was a lake with a beautiful view, but I encountered an invisible wall when I tried to cross the terrace.

There is a staircase leading to the second floor.

The long corridor has ten rooms on both sides, all furnished with the same beds, cabinets, and desks.

There was a small blank sign at the entrance.

She chose one.

Write your name on the small sign.

At this moment, Lin Jiuniang heard a sound below and knew that someone else must have come, so she quickly went downstairs.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw the girl bending over to look at the rules of the small house, and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"It's you!"

The girl looked up at the sound, and a pair of bright eyes immediately fell on her, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"You are……"

Although the other party didn't recognize her, Lin Jiuniang certainly did—

This is Liu Sheng!

She was wearing a light green puff-sleeved dress, a light green headband, and green slippers.

She was charming and lively, like a tender bud sprouting in early spring, completely different from her usual simple and casual appearance.

Lin Jiuniang also regretted calling out the other person's name so quickly. Remembering that she was still hiding on their boat, she felt somewhat awkward and forced a cold smile.
"My name is Lin Jiuniang, do you remember me?"

"So it was you." Liu Sheng realized.

"It seems Chief Liu has a bad memory, having forgotten those you caused to be displaced. Hmph, if only we could fight each other..." Lin Jiuniang's words were full of threat.

Liu Sheng simply smiled calmly.

At this point, more people started arriving.

For Lin Jiuniang, they were all acquaintances she had dealt with countless times over the years.

First up is Gu Huaizhi, dressed in an oriental-style long gown.

Hailing from the Gu family of Changning, known as the "Fragment of the Six Classics," he has already unlocked three realms.

If it weren't for the flowing ink writing covering half his face, his figure and demeanor would truly be as handsome as bamboo.

Following closely behind was a girl dressed in an equally delicate and adorable manner—

She wore a sky-blue babydoll dress, had a round baby face, a round nose, and a pair of round almond-shaped eyes.

At first glance, it matches the outfit quite well, like a doll that stepped out of a shop window.

However, after she appeared, Gu Huaizhi and Lin Jiuniang only glanced at her cautiously and did not dare to get too close.

Of course.

This is Hananoin Unsho.

Hananoin Kazune's younger sister joined the Mukengu and became Tenkai Seiji's deputy.

Unlike Tenkai Seiji's eccentric yet righteous style, Hananoin Unsho is a little liar full of lies.

But because of her abilities, many people only realized they had been scammed after they had already been taken advantage of.

Therefore, no one wants to provoke her.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Hananoin Yunshang pouted and looked aggrieved. She turned around and ran to Liu Sheng's side, acting pitiful like a neglected little animal trying to get close to him.

Lin Jiuniang silently rolled her eyes.

She believed that with Liu Sheng's intelligence, he would definitely be able to see through the little madman's disguise.

Sure enough, not long after, Hananoin Unsho sat down to the side, her eyes brimming with resentment towards Ryusho.

And then came—

Zhu Hengzhi, a neuroarchitect from an ancient Eastern country, is in charge of Bell Labs' mind simulation project.

He still appears in the form of a digital life form, but the white lab coat he wears that he never changes is now replaced by a well-tailored suit. He looks refined and even has a touch of shrewdness.

The only physical thing on her body was her pair of red slippers.

Lin Jiuniang couldn't help but take another look.

Erica Drows, the "gravity hunter" of the Tyran family, has dark skin and deep, captivating features. Dressed in a white shirt and suit trousers, she exudes an intellectual and capable aura.

Li Chuan Kong, the master of Li Chuan Pavilion, has a gentle and refined appearance. He wears a black long gown and his dark gray hair is casually tied on top of his head with a wooden hairpin, which is quite in line with the title of "Master Calculator".

Kirigiri Muneshiki, the "Shadow Assassin" of the Kirigakure clan, rarely appears in the public eye. It was only when Gu Huaizhi asked him for his name that everyone realized that this was the boy who had been hiding in the shadows for so long.

Only now do we see that he is a fairly handsome young man, but his face is so pale it's almost transparent, as if he hasn't seen the sun for years.

He was dressed in a white shirt and jeans, looking like an ordinary, sunny young man, but judging from his tense expression and the small gestures of constantly tugging at the hem of his shirt, he was clearly quite uncomfortable.

Sophie Faith of the Faith family is as noble as ever.

She was wearing a pink outfit, with a sparkly jacket on top and a matching short skirt on the bottom. She had a large pearl necklace around her neck, diamond hair accessories in her hair, and earrings that swayed gently with her movements.

With every glance, she seemed to radiate light.

Lin Jiuniang noticed that when Sophie saw Liu Sheng, her expression was somewhat unnatural, but she still nodded stiffly as a greeting.

She silently kept it in her heart.

Equally unnatural are the relationships between Sophie and Liu Sheng, Erica and Sophie, Hananoin Yunshang and Gu Huaizhi, and Li Chuankong and Zhu Hengzhi.

They had obviously faced each other in the game or outside of the game.

Especially Li Chuankong and Zhu Hengzhi.

Although Zhu Hengzhi was still in that half-dead state of a digital life form, the gunpowder in Li Chuankong's eyes was so strong it was almost bursting out.

It's estimated that the conflict between the two occurred not long ago.

The last person to appear made everyone's expressions subtly change.

Before the person even arrived, their enthusiastic voice had already drifted in.

"Oh dear, I didn't expect to be the last one to arrive."

How is everyone?

The newcomer had a head of shiny obsidian-black hair, a perfectly curved mouth, and a pair of captivating phoenix eyes that seemed to be electrified.

His simple shirt and trousers did not diminish his good looks at all; on the contrary, the simplicity made his figure and appearance even more impeccable.

Even though Lin Jiuniang had seen him many times, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

She knew it was his ability at work.

Even after she came to her senses, her face still felt hot, and her eyes couldn't help but keep glancing at him.

Hananoin Unsho let out a scream, her face flushed with a mixture of infatuation and excitement.

"Aaaaaah! It's Valentine!"

Erica sneered, "Valentine, the famous planetary prince, the big star, I didn't expect you to be here too."

This person was Valentine Darian of the Darian Foundation.

"Oh, Erica, please don't mention my embarrassing nickname."

"Don't your fans like to call you that?"

That's true.

Valentine flashed a bright smile.

"So I don't mind my fans calling me that. But we're such good friends, and you're calling me that too, doesn't it sound a bit like you're making fun of me?"

"Heh." Erica crossed her arms and sneered.

Valentine, however, didn't seem to mind at all. Instead, he leisurely looked around and smiled:

"Speaking of which, all of us who participated in this game are quite good-looking."

That's not wrong.

The nobles of the Brilliant Star have undergone genetic selection, editing, and physical modification, so their appearance is generally not low.

The unknown can obtain even more resources for transformation.

However, many unknowable beings, in their pursuit of ultimate power, have long since deviated from human form.

Therefore, those present at this time who have regular facial features, intact limbs, and no obvious signs of deformity are indeed rare.

"Is it some kind of game based on looks?" Hananoin Yunshang's face was still flushed, and she held her face in her hands with her eyes blinking.

"That's quite possible."

Sophie raised her hand and touched the pearl necklace around her neck, lost in thought.

Just then—

Suddenly, a clear bell rang from the doorway.

Ding dong.
