Doomsday survival game? I became a boss by picking up trash

Chapter 293

Sang Ning's debt to Yongjin's mother nest is not much, only about seven or eight hundred million.

Most players are able to afford it.

Even Sang Ning herself could sell something to pay off the debt.

However, selling to Yongjin Mother Nest always resulted in a loss.

Sang Ning did not refuse Song Yu's offer to pay off her debts. Without hesitation, the two quickly went to pay off Sang Ning's debts.

Then we prepared to head to Nanshi.

All that was left was a debt-ridden woman, weak, pitiful, and helpless.

……

"Song Yu and the others have left?"

Upon receiving the news, Cheng Xue immediately went to inquire with Chu Lang, Tang Hong, and the others.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Tang Hong frowned. Based on her understanding of Cheng Xue, Cheng Xue was most likely preparing to do something that Song Yu could not tolerate.

"nothing."

Cheng Xue smiled slightly, confirming that Song Yu had left.

As far as she knew, the players had experienced a dungeon called the Omnic Crisis, and Song Yu's AI came from that dungeon.

Cheng Xue pushed up her glasses and was about to leave when Tang Hong suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"how?"

Cheng Xue looked at Tang Hong with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"Whatever you're trying to do, I must warn you, what you're trying to do is not feasible."

Tang Hong spoke to Cheng Xue with a cold expression.

"You can't control me."

"Everything I do is for the future of humanity."

“You are players who cannot get deeply involved, but I am not.”

Cheng Xue forcefully pulled her hand back, regardless of Song Yu's reaction—whether he killed her, ignored her, or did something else.

It doesn't matter.

As long as her plan succeeds, that's all that matters.

On the other side, Song Yu was unaware that Cheng Xue had already set her sights on her, or more accurately, on her AI.

Cheng Xue is not a player; she is an ordinary person who belongs to the national team and is not on the same path as Chu Lang and Tang Hong.

Her targeting of Song Yu had no impact whatsoever. If Song Yu were willing to go easy on her and turn a blind eye, the situation for humanity would be much better.

Meanwhile, Song Yu and Sang Ning had already arrived in Nanshi.

Song Yu had never been to this place before, nor had she paid any attention to its situation.

Unexpectedly, while other places enjoy spring-like weather all year round, Nanshi was a world of ice and snow.

Song Yu glanced at Sang Ning beside her; this was the first time she had ever encountered such a noticeable change in the weather.

I wonder if the changes here are related to Sang Ning.

Song Yu was almost certain that this was related to Sang Ning, judging from Sang Ning's expression.

From the moment she stepped into Nanshi, she felt something was off.

"Has Nanshi ever been this cold before?"

Song Yu put on a thick coat and changed into her shorts, vest, and slippers in a random room before she felt a little warmer.

Boss-level emotional monsters can easily affect players, both physically and mentally.

Song Yu could not withstand the heavy snow in Nanshi.

"I think so."

Sang Ning stood by the window, snowflakes falling on her fingertips.

She probably can't remember either.

Thinking this, her past in Nanshi flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern.

Song Yu sat down on the sofa in the room, her hand on the armrest, and tilted her head.

Judging from Sang Ning's appearance, it seems she's already starting to be influenced by the emotional monster in Nanshi.

"Are you OK?"

Song Yu asked again.

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past."

Sang Ning shook her head; she wasn't that fragile.

Song Yu raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Sang Ning clearly looked like something was very wrong.

"Okay, I'll go out for a stroll then."

Since Sang Ning didn't want to say more, Song Yu wouldn't press her for details.

"Ah."

Sang Ning nodded.

Song Yu got up and walked outside. It seemed that Sang Ning still needed to adapt to Nanshi, so she didn't want to disturb her.

Stepping out of the house, a chill hit her face, and Song Yu couldn't help but pull her clothes tighter.

It's really cold.

Exhaling a puff of white breath, Song Yu strolled along the snow-covered road.

Nanshi seems no different from the other cities; there are no emotional monsters there.

She also has a unique personality.

Just as he thought that, a figure flashed past Song Yu's sight!

This is such a slap in the face, so embarrassing.

Song Yu frowned, thinking of that fleeting figure from just now.

She was certain she wasn't human, but how could she look exactly like one?

and……

Song Yu glanced back in the direction she had just left. Sang Ning was still standing by the window, quietly watching the huge block of ice in the city center.

The ice cubes were falling in small pieces; because of Sang Ning's arrival, they would soon hatch.

"..."

Song Yu decided to go and see for himself.

If I remember correctly, Sang Ning owns several gardens in Nanshi.

She is the only truly wealthy woman among the four of them, an incredibly rich woman.

Although they've never been on the rich list, their net worth might not be inferior to those on it.

Furthermore, Sang Ning, like her, has no family.

A single woman with enormous wealth...

Following the trail of the figure from before, Song Yu soon arrived at a garden of considerable size.

Looking up at the majestic gate of the garden, Song Yu felt that it was not only quite large, but also quite old.

The moment the garden gate was pushed open, an invisible wave of energy immediately rippled outwards!
Song Yu was so shocked that he couldn't help but take a step back!
But the next second, the scene in front of her changed dramatically!
The surrounding environment became antique and solemn, with staff members dressed in the same modern uniforms coming and going.

Song Yu had no idea whether he was in ancient times or the modern era.

She stood in the middle of the courtyard, looking around blankly.

As Song Yu entered one deep, overlapping mansion after another, a sense of suffocation immediately overwhelmed her, and she felt deeply confined.

It is an invisible yet all-pervasive constraint, extremely oppressive.

Kneel down—!!!

A stern, angry voice, carrying an unquestionable tone, boomed out like thunder!
"?"

She knelt down?

Song Yu pointed to himself in confusion. Who said that?
[You unfilial son, kneel down now—!!!]

Song Yu stood in the middle of the atrium. The staff who had been coming and going just moments before immediately surrounded her, staring at her expressionlessly and repeating the same sentence over and over again.

Kneel down—

Kneel down—

Kneel down—

They kept approaching, and the terrifying pressure forced Song Yu to kneel down. The irritable voice kept repeating the words that made her kneel down.

Each sound was more terrifying than the last.

The scene before her also changed accordingly.

The room in front of the courtyard has been transformed into an ancestral hall, where countless memorial tablets are placed.

Upon closer inspection, Song Yu also saw the names of her maternal grandfather and great-grandparents on it. Song Yu's expression was strange; she almost laughed.

This is a remnant of feudalism.

【Please administer family discipline!】

At a command, countless staff members wielding sticks and rulers emerged from the rooms on both sides.

[You unfilial son, why don't you kneel down and kowtow to your ancestors to apologize?!]

The staff all had stern faces and extremely cold expressions. As they drew closer, a sense of tension and fear inexplicably arose in my heart.

Suddenly, Song Yu's vision was filled with images of countless oppressed, imprisoned, and devoured humans in a miserable state.

Humans whose mouths were sewn shut for smiling at the opposite sex, humans who were beaten for forgetting to greet their elders, humans who were eaten by their so-called relatives for not having parents, humans who were dismembered after gambling away their entire family fortune for cursing...

All residents living here are required to kneel and worship at the ancestral hall every morning and evening.

Those who kneel improperly will have their knees cracked by frostbite; those who fail to recite the Classic of Filial Piety will have ice spikes on their tongues; those who are absent three times will have their entire family frozen into ice statues to eternally guard the ancestral hall...

"..."

Looking at the scene before her, Song Yu remained silent, then let out a heavy sigh.

"Although I don't know where you came from, you feudal remnant, but as a successor of socialism and a citizen of the new era, you don't need to kneel before anyone, okay?"

"And I don't need to follow your nonsense."

"This is a right granted to me by law."

Song Yu stepped forward, speaking casually, and reached out to snatch the stick from one of the staff members' hands.

"How dare these feudal remnants act so arrogantly?"

A stone appeared in Song Yu's hand. With a flick of his finger, the stone shot out and crashed heavily onto the memorial tablet of someone unknown!

She respects her ancestors, but not in this way.

A person must first be a human being before they can talk about anything else.

The moment the stone landed on the memorial tablet, it burst forth with an extremely dazzling light, radiating brilliance!

The ghosts and monsters illuminated by the light had nowhere to escape; they screamed and roared as they vanished in the light!

When everything calmed down, Song Yu found that she was actually still standing at the entrance of that garden.

The stone she threw out had turned into a pile of black ash.

This thing is quite useful, but unfortunately it's a consumable item, and she doesn't have many left.

She had only intended to give it a try, but she never expected that the Tower of Legal Rectification would be so effective in dealing with this feudal remnant in Nanshi.

The stones she threw were items she obtained when she destroyed the Tower of Legal Justice in the capital.

Its core fragment.

This is not the obvious purpose of this fragment.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Back then, they could use the first version of the Marriage Law to deal with the Tower of Legal Rectification.

There's a certain degree of restraint between these emotional monster bosses.

Another core fragment of the Tower of Legal Justice appeared in Song Yu's hand, which she tossed up and down.

And so, Song Yu entered the garden openly and legitimately.

Snowflakes fluttered down, white walls, black tiles, brown trees, winter plum blossoms, and withered lotus leaves—every step revealed a new scene.

Extremely beautiful.

But it was very quiet here, quiet only by the sound of Song Yu's heartbeat.

There was no one there.

Snowflakes fell gently on Song Yu's head and shoulders. Standing in front of the cave window, she finally discovered the only living creature in the garden.

A little emotional monster.

The little girl stood barefoot in the snow with her hair down, her eyes big and her face expressionless.

It looks a lot like Sang Ning.

Song Yu now knows what Sang Ning's greatest fear is.

This guy didn't have a very happy childhood either.

Song Yu looked at the little emotional monster, took out a few prop candies from her space. They were only good for eating and had no other use. She had gotten them from a dungeon before.

She placed the candy on the hole in the window and turned to leave.

There's no need for me to stay any longer.

This thing is hard to kill.

Even though it's a modern society, there are still quite a few remnants of feudalism, and those people will continuously provide energy for this emotional monster.

Their fears also nourish this emotional monster.

To kill these emotional monsters, we all have to work together.

Song Yu had no interest in this city, a remnant of feudalism, and naturally did not intend to spend too much time there.

I think I'll just go back to Marriott City.

Sang Ning, Sang Ning, just stay here by yourself.

She has to face it eventually.

Song Yu thought to himself with relief.

She's just sitting here with nothing to do; she can't exactly kill this boss monster.

It's unknown how long it will take for a new boss monster to be created, and the dungeon might not be available for ages.

Song Yu stroked his chin, still needing to find a way to take down Yongjin's mother nest and release Sister Shen.

Otherwise, who knows when that emotional monster she's bound to will—

Song Yu narrowed his eyes. No, not necessarily.

The birth of the Emotion Monster is related to emotions and human emotions. Since Sister Kidney's emotions fluctuate so easily, the BOSS monster she is bound to may have already been born.

Song Yu nodded emphatically. Where was Xiong Yuanfeng's ancestral home?

She carefully recalled a place name, and after having the mechanical worm source virus send a message to Sang Ning, she immediately went to Sister Shen's original place of residence.

But she missed her target.

There was nothing in Sister Shen's hometown except for a bunch of countless emotional monsters.

"Find me where there are BOSS-level emotional monsters."

Song Yu released a large amount of mechanical worm source virus. Sister Shen must have a bound emotional monster, she just doesn't know where it is.

The national team probably knows, but they certainly won't tell her.

They couldn't wait for the dungeon to arrive.

Song Yu felt it was necessary to remind the other players about the conditions for the dungeon to appear.

A smug smile spread across her face. She had just swindled the national team out of money and then immediately spread the news. They must be furious.

Song Yu didn't actually have any ill will towards the national team; the two sides just had some conflicts of interest, not the kind of irreconcilable feud.

We won't be involved in this anymore.

Song Yu's future is bright; he won't stay in this instance.

Once the instance arrives, it will no longer be a concern.

Countless mechanical worm-like viruses flew out from Song Yu's palm, blending black and white together, representing mechanics and gardens, science fiction and ancient style.

A very magical scene.

It has a Chinese cyberpunk feel to it.

An umbrella appeared in Song Yu's hand. The scenery was beautiful, but it was freezing cold.

Let's go first and talk about it later.

There are so many cities with normal temperatures; there's no need to stay here and freeze.

Before leaving, Song Yu went to the bottom of the large block of ice in Nanshi.

The towering ice block resembles a monument.

Sang Ning is here too.

She's almost turned into a snowman.

Song Yu was trapped in the illusion by the Emotion Monster. It seemed like only a short time had passed, but in reality, two or three hours had gone by.

I hate these kinds of uncontrollable monsters that can control time the most.

Song Yu pursed his lips.

Sang Ning, who was as still as an ice cube, seemed to only then notice Song Yu and turned her eyes to look at her.

Neither of them spoke; Song Yu didn't ask, and Sang Ning didn't say anything.

However, Song Yu could roughly guess what had happened to Sang Ning, and Sang Ning also knew that Song Yu knew.

Sang Ning was probably the only son in a strict and extremely wealthy feudal family.

At the very least, she should be her mother's only child.

It's easy to imagine that Sang Ning's childhood wasn't happy.
