Eternal Night

Chapter 362 Trading
(PS: I will update three times today. I will take two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I will postpone it by one day...)
Wu Xianxiao walked out of the haunted house. He shook off the pile of rotten flesh on his body with disgust. The smell was so strong that even he couldn't stand it, let alone others. They would probably vomit after smelling it.

"What a crappy haunted house, it's full of real ghosts!" Wu Xianxiao cursed, looked around, turned around and ran to a fountain not far away. After washing, his whole body still smelled of a rotting corpse, but he had no choice but to stand outside the pool with a grim face.

The rest of the people also came to Wu Xianxiao with bitter smiles. They were also more or less covered with the rotten meat, but they were not as miserable as Wu Xianxiao. However, there were about ten people with pale faces and black lips, and they seemed to be poisoned.

Wu Xianxiao did not have time to complain. He came up behind these people and slapped them all on the back. After just a few slaps, these people's faces immediately turned red and they trembled all over. An inexplicable heat current rolled through their bodies. They vomited blood in big mouthfuls with a sour and numb feeling. The blood was black and had a foul smell, but after vomiting blood, these people's complexion looked much better.

"...Okay, this is the last game. When it's over we will move on to the next weekend scene. I hope it will be a modern city so we can find a place to take a good bath." Wu Xianxiao said helplessly.

Naturally, everyone just smiled bitterly and were speechless.

To be honest, only Wu Xianxiao would have such a complaint. From the perspective of all of them, five games with strange rules have passed and none of them has died. Although there are also injuries, with Wu Xianxiao around, as long as they do not die on the spot, he can save them.

This means that no one of them has died so far.

Therefore, if someone else said what Wu Xianxiao said, it would simply be a pretentious whining, the kind of extremely Versailles-like arrogant speech, the kind that would get someone beaten to death if they walked down the street.

However, Wu Xianxiao felt no sense of incongruity when he said it. It was just like Chu Minghao saying go to the 0.5 or 0.4 dream world to kill a god and then upgrade the main brain. It sounded incredible, but at their level it was natural to say this.

Compared to Wu Xianxiao, the rest of the people were very lucky. No one died and they had no danger along the way. They didn't even put in much effort. They almost went through the five games quickly as if they were accompanying Wu Xianxiao. According to their own feelings, if it weren't for Wu Xianxiao, most of the more than 60 people would probably not have survived.

"There's only one game left..."

Everyone looked at the sky. The sun had begun to set, but it was still at least two hours before dusk. This time was actually plenty of time. Everyone felt at ease and started talking and laughing along the way.

"...I will definitely buy a house if I have the savings." Someone said, "Even though the Land of Redemption is vast and sparsely populated now, with only a few hundred thousand awakened people, how many people do you think are still sleeping on Gaia? Even if the government is hiding something, there must be at least a billion people, right? How crowded do you think the Land of Redemption will be by then?"

A woman shook her head and said, "Yes, it is a good idea to buy a house with savings, but have you ever thought about how much this 'savings' means? According to the current salary and welfare standards for civil servants announced by the government, it takes ten years of work without food or drink to buy a house by an individual, while renting a house from the government only accounts for less than one twentieth of the total income. It seems that the purchase of houses and land is free, but in essence it is a purchase restriction order. By the time you have saved for ten years, the price of houses and land will have risen to the sky."

Someone else sighed and said, "This is actually giving preferential treatment and benefits to people who enter the dream world. Only they can obtain a large number of points from the main brain, and then use the points to exchange for government credit funds to purchase houses and land. Not to mention the Extraordinary Guild, even individual Extraordinary people have the capital to buy houses and shops. There are even two Extraordinary people with titles who have each purchased a piece of land outside the city. When a large number of people are revived in the future, they can become rich just by collecting rent."

Everyone sighed, but someone retorted: "That's what they deserve. Don't you think about how terrible the dream world is? They also need to protect ordinary people who enter the dream world on weekends and have to work hard to make a living. That's what they deserve. If you have the ability, you can also enter the dream world and become extraordinary people. It's meaningless to say sour words at this time."

Most people nodded in agreement, while a few looked embarrassed but did not say much. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a dozen people in front ran up to them and looked at them with burning eyes.

Everyone was on guard. Wu Xianxiao took a few steps forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

But I didn't expect that these dozen people suddenly bowed, knelt, clasped their fists, and saluted...

It can be seen that these dozen people come from different eras and their etiquette is also different, but from their expressions to their actions, there is no doubt that they are sincere and excited.

One of them said, "Thank you for your help, sir. Without you, we would not have survived the game just now!"

There was another nobleman who looked clean and white, and dressed very luxuriously, but at this moment he was in a state of disarray. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am the Governor of the Abel Hive World. I was poisoned by a Chaos traitor, and I thought it was impossible for me to be loyal to the Emperor again. But who knew that I would have your help in this life-and-death transit station. I have no way to repay you, but I can only express my gratitude in my heart. After my resurrection, I will recite the Emperor's Words for you every day."

There was another man who looked like a soldier. He saluted and said, "I am the commander of a Foundation site. Although I have already prepared myself for death, there are still many things that I cannot let go of. This time, I am grateful for your help..."

"I am the captain of the Blue Sea Star Fleet, thank you..."

"I am..." These people revealed their origins one after another, and they all sounded extraordinary. There were only a few ordinary people among them. After saying this, their bodies gradually became illusory.

At this time, Wu Xianxiao hurriedly asked: "Can you be resurrected and returned to the real world as long as you go through the game once?"

A dozen people were all surprised, and then nodded. The man who just called himself the Governor said, "We are different from you adults. We are just mortals. We haven't died and entered the subspace yet. This is just a death transit station, so we can be resurrected and return after going through a level of training."

Wu Xianxiao began to feel unhappy, but he couldn't vent his anger on these people. He could only nod at them and clasp his fists lightly and said, "I didn't save you on purpose. It was just a coincidence. So... let's say goodbye now."

Everyone was smiling, with a desire for life in their eyes. They continued to thank Wu Xianxian, and then slowly disappeared.

At this time, Beelzebub said, "Sure enough, they came from all realms, different worlds, and different eras. They were randomly selected after death, so they appeared in this death transit station... And I guess, there may be many, countless death transit stations, and this is just one of them."

Naturally, this information was memorized by the professionals behind him, and it can be regarded as a supplement to the current human government's exploration intelligence of the dream world and the existence of the weekend.

Wu Xianxiao led the crowd to continue walking forward. At this time, fog began to slowly appear around them, and everything around them began to appear hazy. The sixty-odd people immediately became alert, but Wu Xianxiao continued to move forward without hesitation. At the same time, he said to the others, "Don't worry, the owner of this amusement park invited us to meet him."

As they were talking, an ancient castle that often appeared in fairy tales appeared in the fog ahead. As everyone moved forward, the castle became more and more realistic from its unreal state. At the same time, the castle gate slowly opened and the lights inside became brighter.

Everyone looked at each other, and seeing Wu Xianxiao's fearless performance, they gradually felt at ease.

Although everything here is bizarre and weird, they are facing a human super brain. Not to mention weirdness, even if you are a god, Wu Xianxiao can probably kill it easily, right?

With this mentality, everyone followed Wu Xianxian into the castle. As soon as they entered, they saw a long table in the hall on the first floor. The table was filled with delicious food. Although there were no maids or service staff, this scene clearly meant an invitation.

Wu Xianxiao walked to the long table and looked at the food on it. He nodded to the people behind him, then sat down at the front seat of the table. Without hesitation, he picked up the food on the table and started eating and drinking.

The rest of the people had a backbone and were naturally not nervous. They also sat down at the table one by one. They had been hungry for a long time, so they all ate and drank at this time.

"What a hero you are...Stranger, how about this feast be your last game?"

A shadow appeared at the head seat at the long table and made a low sound.

"...What's the price?" Wu Xianxiao asked without raising his head while eating a piece of barbecue.

The shadow laughed, and after a while he said, "You haven't sublimated yet, and you are even further away from the source, but you can use the power of the source... The outside world has become real again, right? I want to make a contract with you..."

"I will select the people you killed and put some of them into this amusement park as my 'performance', okay?"

Wu Xianxiao still didn't raise his head and continued, "What's the price?"

Shadow was stunned for a moment and said, "What?"

"I ask you."

Wu Xianxiao then raised his head and asked seriously, "What is the price you want to pay?"
