Immortal I Speedrun Supernatural Game

Chapter 447 Hello, Let's Be Friends

"Alright, I'll think about it later."

After saying this, Wu Wang turned and left.

As the ghost uncle watched his retreating figure, he suddenly said, "Oh right, you haven't formally introduced yourself yet."

"My name is Ghost Lion. My Ghost Thief Gang was arrested for smuggling unique resources from different worlds. Friend, what brought you here?"

Here comes an essential part of prison life.

Even in real-world prisons, there is a strange yet inexplicably reasonable hierarchy of contempt.

Criminals such as gang leaders, drug lords, and white-collar workers in finance have the highest status.

Secondly, there are medium-level criminals such as robbers, armed robbers, and gang members. Thieves can also be included in this category, after all, it is also a "traditional craft". Although they may be looked down upon, it is barely acceptable, after all, it is a skilled job.

At the very bottom are sex offenders, who are the most despised and attacked group in almost all prison ecosystems. Even other criminals consider their crimes to be "dirty and unforgivable." Their behavior violates a certain "bottom line" that exists even among criminals.

Of course, informants, informants, or mentally ill patients who have no ability to protect themselves are also considered low-level criminals.

After all, those who betray trust and cooperate with the police are seen as the biggest disruptors of the "rules" of the entire criminal community and will be subjected to extreme contempt and retaliation.

In conclusion, the hierarchy of contempt in prison is a complex ecosystem comprised of violence, resources, crime types, and a distorted sense of honor.

The more serious your crimes are, and the more they highlight your personal strength rather than simply bullying the weak.

Then their status in prison will be higher.

Someone like Uncle Ghost, who leads an entire criminal gang and can commit crimes across the world, is naturally respected among criminals for his connections and methods.

However, Wu Wang was only slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He then turned around, grinned, and asked in a gentle smile, "What did I do to get in here?"

"It's just that it destroyed the world."

"I also flirted with a few Venerables, and they banished me to the [Forsaken Land], but I came back alive. Now I'm in prison to slowly pay off my debts."

His seemingly gentle smile became increasingly sinister and terrifying after those few words, and even Uncle Gui and the others vaguely saw a kind of extreme madness in him.

Watching Wu Wang's departing figure after he finished speaking.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a cold sweat slowly trickling down their backs.

"Uncle Ghost... is he... trying to scare us?" Even the female criminal who had just been playing the good cop couldn't help but ask, her voice trembling slightly.

Uncle Gui remained silent in response.

Even though this is a prison, full of unruly criminals, no one dares to speak arrogantly to the Venerable One who reigns supreme over all worlds.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the arrogance and conceit in the kid's eyes when he said he was flirting with the Venerable One was too real.

The other party was genuinely mocking the Venerable One!
It's hard to tell whether it's just youthful arrogance or genuine emotion after real interaction.

Moreover, it has destroyed the world...

These five words are not just empty words; they represent the most serious crime in the entire Demon Prison.

In that instant, Wu Wang's image became mysterious and unpredictable among Uncle Gui and the other criminals, coupled with his previous rule-breaking actions.

Without a doubt, this serious criminal, who was being held in a special room, was a truly dangerous individual!
They are even more dangerous than those serious criminals who were previously imprisoned normally outside the prison and were imprisoned again because they offended the prison guards or committed another crime!

Yes! Why was he immediately locked in a special room as soon as he entered the Demon Prison?!
There must be some reason!
Who exactly is he?!
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After Wu died and left.

Not far away, the players who were taking advantage of their running exercise to walk side by side around the entire playground and observe all the criminals also turned their attention away.

Wu Wang was a serious offender in a special room.

His every move on the playground naturally attracted the attention of many criminals.

So, it was only natural that the players saw him walk over and play basketball.

However, after he lay down, the members of the Ghost Thieves who surrounded him blocked his view, so the people outside didn't know what they were talking about.

But there's no doubt that the Ghost Thieves are now involved with him, which is giving players a slight headache.

"What should we do? When should we contact the Ghost Thieves?" Baili Dao asked from the far left of the running group.

The players were divided into three different cells: Baili Dao and Beilang shared one cell, Tiancan and Dique shared another, and Jiang Xiaoming, the unlucky guy, shared a cell with a stranger.

Each of them had some clues about their own identities and extra missions in their respective rooms.

Yes, an extra task.

This item is separate from the main and side quests provided by the game itself; it is obtained from NPCs or similar entities within dungeons.

Generally speaking, the rewards are not obtained later in the settlement area, but are provided by the NPC on the spot.

Just like the [Teeth of the Nargacuga] that Wu Wang obtained from King Bluebeard's treasury during the [Spirit Disaster Joy Show] selection phase.

He did indeed get his hands on it on the spot and actually brought it out.

Since it was just a casting material and not a ready-made weapon, Wu Wang contacted a chief casting master of the Bureau of Strange Events through the Xie Zhi while waiting at Xiao Xiao's villa the day before the public beta, asking him to help turn this thing into a weapon.

Previously at headquarters, he wanted to contact Xie Zhi to ask if the equipment had been successfully crafted.

The quests that players are currently struggling with stem from this very issue.

Based on the clues from Jiang Xiaoming's side—

They knew that there was a gang called the "Ghost Thieves" in this devilish prison.

The leader of the other side was a very influential guy who could get his hands on many things that others couldn't. If you were willing to pay the price, he could even help you get some weapons, and even get a few prison guards to turn a blind eye to certain excessive behaviors.

Of course, these weapons are certainly insufficient for a direct confrontation with prison defenses.

But when used against other unarmed criminals, it's like a game-changer.

Jiang Xiaoming's imprisonment due to his identity appears to be related to this criminal gang.

So, the other four, including Baili Dao, thought they should make contact with this "Ghost Thief Gang" and try to get some temporary items or weapons from them.

After all, if you want to reclaim what belongs to you in the storage room, you can't just rush up empty-handed and steal it, can you?
If they're lucky, the Ghost Thieves might be able to take the items out of the storage room on their own.

But now the other party has become involved with serious criminals.

Would contact with the Phantom Thieves also be considered a violation of prison rules?
“Let’s do it now. We don’t have time to keep observing. We have to take action eventually.” Tian Can said after a moment of contemplation, “Besides the Ghost Thief Gang, there’s also the Sunset Gang in the prison that we need to keep an eye on.”

“If the Ghost Thieves are the gang with the most comprehensive intelligence and resources here, then the Sunset Gang is the most powerful violent group in terms of direct combat,” Di Que added.

North Wolf nodded as well.

"Indeed, if the [Doomsday Prophet] wants to escape, judging from the way he previously caused the massive riot in the [Mortal Prison], he must have joined forces with the gangs in the prison. In that case, he will inevitably come into contact with one of these two gangs here."

As for why it wouldn't be contact between both sides.

Naturally, it's because Bei Lang's own identity is related to the [Remnant Sun Gang].

He knew perfectly well that there was a deep conflict between the Ghost Thieves and the Remnant Sun Gang, and that there was absolutely no inclination for the two to join forces.

Therefore, you can only choose one of the two options: [Doomsday Prophet].

"Then it's settled. Di Que and I will go and make contact with the Ghost Thief Gang. If Bei Lang has connections with the Remnant Sun Gang, then you and Baili Dao will go there."

"As for Jiang Xiaoming... just stay away from us and don't cause us any trouble."

Tiancan quickly arranged the selection.

Furthermore, his contempt for Jiang Xiaoming was plain to see.

In the eyes of this level 30 veteran player, the pressure from the Nightmare difficulty dungeons is already immense, not to mention having to guide a complete novice.

Furthermore, given that the other party's identity suggests he doesn't get along well with the [Ghost Thieves], there's no need for him to show up and cause trouble in front of them.

But to say that we should leave the trouble to Beilang and Bailidao... that would be rather impolite.

After all, these two are members of the Bureau of Extraordinary Events, and their ability to solve dungeons is quite competent. We'll need to cooperate with them to retrieve the items later.

Therefore, Tiancan felt that letting Jiang Xiaoming fend for himself was the best course of action.

Newbie, haha.

Only those who survive can be considered newcomers to the Necropolis player class. Those who die are merely stepping stones discarded on the path of human evolution.

His decision would seem perfectly reasonable to most players of the Necropolis faction.

However, Baili Dao and Beilang, the two righteous individuals brought along by the Xie Zhi, felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Xiaoming's plight.
They offered to take the unfortunate fellow along.

He glanced at the disdainful look in Tiancan and Dique's eyes.

Jiang Xiaoming sighed and said, "Forget it, Brother Baili, Brother Beilang, what the boss said makes sense. I can't help much with the dungeon strategy. Not causing trouble is enough. You guys go ahead. I'll just go a little further away."

He is a person who is quite self-aware.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to adapt so quickly to suddenly entering a dungeon or even a prison environment.

Jiang Xiaoming, who makes a living by stealing, knows very well that not attracting attention is the best way to survive.

The same applies even in prison.

The old adage "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" is truly accurate. It's safer to keep a low profile and do nothing than to follow experienced players of the Necropolis.

After Jiang Xiaoming finished speaking, he broke away from the group and ran off to do pull-ups and other exercises on the sandy ground in the distance.

The two, despite their physical limitations, didn't waste any time.

They headed straight towards the basketball court.

Just before the female criminal gang, who was about to step onto the court again to dunk against the animal-headed criminals, reached the edge of the basketball court.

Di Que suddenly noticed something strange and asked in a low voice, "Hey? Where did that serious criminal go? How come I can't find him after turning around?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Can turned around and looked at himself.

Yes! After leaving the basketball court, the other person seemed to disappear without a trace within just a few words in the player chat.

That's really strange...

But it's also possible that the playground is just too large and there are too many criminals, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location in a short time.

Before Tiancan could even voice his thoughts, the female criminal's men had already noticed their approach.

A guy with a turtle-like head pointed in the direction of the broken sky and earth, and the female criminal who seemed to be the center of attention also patted the basketball.

Then it suddenly slammed down on the two of them.

Of course, this is a dynamic state, but ultimately it's just passing the ball.

Fortunately, Tian Can reacted quickly, immediately raising his hand to catch it. He casually patted it on the ground and tossed it back, saying, "The welcome ceremony for all of you from the Ghost Thieves is a bit special."

"What are you doing?" Turtle Head said in broken Chinese.

He is not very good at communicating with people.

Upon hearing the distinctive accent, Tian Can was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "We've heard that the Ghost Thieves have connections everywhere, and there's nothing you can't bring into this Demon Prison."

"I came here specifically to get to know you all and see if you're interested in making a deal to bring some things out for us."

However, this statement had barely been made when...

The female criminal who had just lost the basketball came closer and carefully examined Tiancandique from head to toe.

For some reason, she sensed a composure in these two people that was different from that of other criminals; their eyes didn't even show the weariness that had been smoothed out by the devil's prison.

Even someone like Uncle Ghost, who was already doing quite well in prison.

The weariness in his eyes still lingered from being confined for too long and wasting his energy on the playground every day.

But these two people are so energetic.

Just like...

"Just like that monster from before?" she muttered to herself.

Di Que's hearing was quite good; he raised an eyebrow and asked, "Hmm? What monster did you say?"

This brought the female criminal back to her senses.

He stared at the two of them with sharp eyes.

He said coldly, "Nothing much. You want to make a deal with us? Sure, just do one thing right now in front of me."

Tiancan and Dique exchanged a glance.

They could see a hint of secret delight in each other's eyes.

Since it's being done right now, face to face, it probably won't be too difficult or require too much effort.

I reckon it's just a formality, at least to show that we have no ill intentions.

So they both said in unison, "You say it, we two have no problem."

The next second, the female criminal said expressionlessly—

"You two stop exercising now, and once you're completely drained of energy and collapse, just get up as fast as you can. Otherwise, forget it."

Tiancandique: "?"

They thought they had misheard.

But they found the other person was unusually serious.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly—

Damn it! Do you want to listen to what you're saying?
Is doing something right away considered breaking the rules? Are you crazy or am I crazy?

A deathly silence fell over the air.

The female criminal was wondering why they didn't stop exercising and break the rules; Tiancan and Dique were wondering how they dared to stop exercising and break the rules.

For a moment, both sides felt that something was wrong with the other, and the situation became deadlocked.

Yes, what exactly is wrong?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Jiang Xiaoming, who was exercising alone in a corner of the playground, was sweating profusely.

He was always just an ordinary person with a normal physique.

They may even appear somewhat thin due to a lack of exercise, and their physical fitness may not be as good as that of a normal person.

At this stage, without the upgrades and stat allocations of players who have experienced the Spirit Disaster, his base stats are already quite high. In this kind of place where exercise would cause his energy and spirit to be consumed exponentially, he is already finding it difficult to keep up after just a short period of exercise.

Suddenly, he felt his breathing become erratic.

Immediately afterwards, everything went black, and then his center of gravity shifted forward, making him feel a sense of foreboding.

Oh no! I think I've fainted due to low blood sugar! If I fall face-first, will I die instantly?!

He remembered there was a sharp, protruding spot right in front of this location!

Just when Jiang Xiaoming thought he would end his life in this absurd way.

A strong, powerful hand reached out from behind, firmly grasping his shoulder to help him steady himself, and even kindly asked, "Friend, are you alright? Be careful."

Jiang Xiaoming was panting heavily, his vision still blurred from the low blood sugar.

He said gratefully, breathless, "Thank you... I... I'm okay, I'll be exercising for half an hour soon... I can rest for a few minutes now..."

Unexpectedly, the other person's tone suddenly turned playful, and he patted him on the shoulder, saying, "No, you're in a bad mood. Talking to me is against the rules."

"So? Do you want to live now? If you do, then listen to me. Otherwise, you can come and be my roommate."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoming seemed to feel a cold sweat break out on his back, and his eyes immediately became much clearer.

Stiffly turning his head, he was shocked to see a familiar figure supporting him—the target he and the other players had just observed, the serious criminal in the special room!
Wu Wang said with a chuckle:

"Hello, shall we be friends?"

Instantly, Jiang Xiaoming's expression turned to one of utter despair, a pitiful look on her face as if a virtuous woman was about to be violated.
"Don't come over..."
