This bug is amazing!

Chapter 106 Finding a way to make a profit from him

The crescent moon hangs high in the abandoned city, bringing only a very limited amount of light to the ground.

In the pitch-black little house.

Tang Hulu and Wang Meng huddled in the corner, with clean bedding they had looted placed beside them.

"Can you smell anything?"

Suddenly, Tang Hulu asked Wang Meng a question.

"It tastes like candied hawthorn."

"My taste? Or the taste of candied hawthorn?"

"None of them taste like Little Tang's gourd."

A blush crept onto Wang Meng's face, but she couldn't see anything in the darkness.

Tang Hulu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "How could that be? It smells more like you to me, salty."

Wang Meng shyly snuggled into Tang Hulu's arms.

"That means we're on the same wavelength and think alike," she said.

Then, she put her arms around Tang Hulu's neck:

Do you remember the first time we met?

Tang Hulu also put his arm around her waist: "Of course I remember. That [Passion Hotel] instance didn't give players any ID tags. And since your face was covered by your long hair, I mistook you for a female ghost."

"Then you got stuck when you were climbing through the window, so I treated you like a female ghost and beat you up. Later I realized you were a player. You cried for a long time, and I comforted you for a long time."

Wang Meng smiled shyly and kissed Tang Hulu.

I still want to cry today.

clap clap clap!
The saw-wielder's shoes had somehow flown off, and his bare feet made a crisp sound on the road.

The snow leopard was in no better shape. He had long since put away his large sword, which was hindering his movements, but he was still being chased like a mad dog fleeing in panic.

Behind them was a horde of zombies, led by a "big plate chicken" zombie.

This brings us to one of the dangers of nighttime.

It's a new moon now, and under the moonlight, visibility on the ground is close to zero.

Humans are essentially blind at night, so they have to turn on the lights if they want to escape.

But once the lighting equipment is turned on.

It's like yelling at a zombie, "I'm here, come and eat me!"

Therefore, the two of them running around with flashlights would only attract more and more zombies, putting themselves in a difficult situation.

The fifth floor of the abandoned building.

Ji Yi held the bowl, leaned against the bed, and ate the rice with the flavor of roasted meat with relish.

"Haochi ah Haochi".

The restaurant I went to with Hsieh Chia-yi tasted exactly the same.

In the darkness, Ji Yi could see the two snow leopards being chased by zombies.

That's hilarious! This scene is so appetizing!
Miss Cat, holding the Ghost Eye in her hand, had clearly noticed the situation on the street outside the building.

Aren't you going to save them?

She asked Ji Yi.

She didn't know when it started, but she inexplicably developed a sense of dependence on Ji Yi.

So much so that she had to ask him about such trivial matters. Thinking about it carefully, Ji Yi probably just wanted to have some fun out of a perverse sense of humor, without any real plans.

Sure enough, Ji Yi spoke up quickly:
"It's really funny to see two idiots being chased by zombies."

Miss Cat: "."

Seeing this, Ji Yi waved his hand and said, "Relax, just think of us as tourists. With the Chosen One Tang Hulu here, what danger could there be?"

In fact, the zombies outside are quite a threat.

[Class B zombies possess the ability to harden their bones, making them impervious to blades and bullets. However, they are slightly less resilient, and their weakness lies in high-intensity blunt force trauma.]

How do you compare to players?

Based on overall assessment, his strength is roughly equivalent to that of an average level 20 player.

Hmm, it seems that the zombie classification here is similar to the disaster classification in island nations.

Judging from Ji Yi's current stats, her base attributes are stronger than those of a level 20 player. Combined with her skills, she is more than capable of competing with an ordinary level 20 player.

It can't compare to an all-around monster like Zui Wan Gu Hong, but it's quite adept at fighting B-level zombies.

Judging from the current situation, this B-level zombie is the most dangerous one in the vicinity.

As expected, it's a normal-level dungeon. It's my first time playing on such an easy difficulty, and I'm actually a little unaccustomed to it.

Calmly finished eating the rice.

Ji Yi looked behind her: "Have you all finished eating? Don't attract even higher-level monsters."

Aya licked her lips, savoring the memory for a long time.

In the midst of the apocalypse, such delicious food moved her to tears.

"This rice is so delicious, can you make more? I can trade you other supplies for it!"

Ji Yi glanced at her:
"You can't always be this lucky. Be grateful if you can eat here once. Oh, and remember to pay for my cat sister. Don't eat for free."

Aya immediately lowered her head.

Ji Yi smiled gently. In a world where humanity is doomed and zombies roam, there are still such simple and honest people.

We haven't asked Aya about her identity or the information about the shelter she's in yet.

There's no rush now. We can ask again on the way tomorrow. We should get some rest tonight.

"They're about to collapse. Zombies are surrounding them on both sides of the road. If this continues, they'll die here."

Miss Cat said to Ji Yi.

"Saving them might expose us."

Ji Yi merely offered a reminder.

Miss Cat's expression was complicated, and it was unclear what she was considering.

"But since Miss Cat has spoken up, let's help them out. Players should unite and help each other, that's what you taught me."

In the darkness, Ji Yi walked towards Miss Cat.

Aya naturally couldn't see anything.

Ji Yi leaned close to her ear.

"Is Mr. Giba going to take advantage of me again?"

She felt like she had gotten used to Ji Yi whispering in her ear.

Unexpectedly, Ji Yi did not touch her.

"There's something I'm actually embarrassed to say, but I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Miss Cat suddenly became alert: "You want to see me?"

"No no no!"

Ji Yi quickly shook his head and whispered in his ear, "I met a girl in real life, and I feel quite fond of her."

Miss Cat: "Is she pretty?"

Ji Yi nodded vigorously: "That's perfect! You're my only female friend. Could you give me some advice later? Like dating ideas, how to please women, etc. It would be best if it's easy to put into practice, and it wouldn't seem like I have too much of an ulterior motive."

Miss Cat: "What's the purpose?"

Ji Yi: "Go after her, sleep with her."

Miss Cat: "."

Ji Yi: "Hey, don't look at me like I'm a pervert. I'm serious."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as your agreement. I'll go and rescue those two idiots first."

talking.

Ji Yi took out the prop: [The Noisy Teddy Bear].

Enabled.

Thrown out the window.

Landed gracefully.

Then, the teddy bear's eyes lit up with a red light, and it spoke:

"Hey! You stupid zombie over there! I'll fuck your ass! You bunch of sons of bitches! Why aren't you coming over here to lick your bear grandpa's ass? A bunch of bitches can't even put together a complete brain, just like a bastard looking for food everywhere &%￥**（%￥））."

The teddy bear made a noisy and vulgar swearing sound as it ran away.

Some of the words were so unpleasant that the two ladies in the room couldn't help but frown.

But the results were surprisingly good.

All the zombies were drawn to the scene and chased after it into the distance.

The zombies, especially those who eat big plate chicken, are most annoyed by it.
"You're the one who eats poop! Your whole family eats poop!"

The massive zombie army fled into the distance.

at this time.

Ji Yi stood on the fifth floor, shining a flashlight on Xue Bao and his companion. The flashlight flickered.

Those two were clearly not fools; they immediately ran towards the building where Ji Yi was.

About ten minutes passed.

The two found the room where Ji Yi and the other two were resting.

The saw-wielding man laughed heartily: "Haha, thanks to your help just now, otherwise Brother Snow Leopard and I would have almost capsized in the ditch."

"Don't just thank me verbally. That teddy bear was a high-quality prop. We used it to save you, so we should at least offer something in return, right?"

Ji Yi spoke.

The two players looked in that direction.

The snow leopard frowned almost imperceptibly: "Level 10 players? Hmm. Because you're weaker, your cautious strategy actually saved you."

Ji Yi was amused by this attitude.

He remembered that he first entered the rankings of the Demon Tower, and then played the trick on Zuiwan Guhong. He should be a celebrity in the player circle, right?

"Don't you two recognize me?"

Ji Yi asked.

The saw-wielding man and the snow leopard exchanged a glance, then asked, puzzled, "Who are you? Why should we know you?"

It seems that not all players enjoy browsing forums.

That's fine, so as not to make myself too famous and seem ostentatious.

"Hehe, it's normal that you don't recognize a level 10 nobody. I was just joking with you two. Let's get back to the topic, that teddy bear..."

Snow Leopard waved his hand dismissively: "It's just a high-quality item, here you go."

Something was thrown over.

He tossed it casually, not intending for Ji Yi to catch it at all; he just wanted her to pick it up herself.

This is a subconscious form of protest.

In the minds of most players, level equates to influence and status.

Even if players are harmonious and friendly at the beginning, a hierarchy of contempt will naturally form over time.

For example, Chicken Leg is a level 6 hardcore member on Bilibili, and he does this and that when he sees level 2 or 3 alt accounts.

He would then type out even colder words on the cold keyboard:

"The flavor of B has changed, I forgot the rest, anyway, little devil, get out of here."

In the eyes of some advanced players in the hyperdimensional game, low-level players are either stupid or lazy and cowardly, so they always get mediocre dungeon ratings and drag higher-level players down to get points, resulting in low levels.

This contempt led the two snow leopards to not take Ji Yi seriously from the bottom of their hearts.

Only this female player named "Schrödinger's Cat" is decent; level 14 isn't bad, considering she's a female player.

Girls are bound to be more delicate, I can understand that.

The props thrown by the snow leopard flew high into the air.

Ji Yi dodged and caught it steadily in his hand.

He was incredibly fast, but in the darkness, no one noticed his uncanny agility.

【Name: The Mysterious, Cloudy Gem】

[Type: props]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: None]

[Note: It seems to contain some kind of mysterious power; it might be usable as an alchemical material.]

Ji Yi held the gemstone, almost wanting to laugh.

Trying to fool him with this useless junk would normally warrant a good beating.

But don't tell me yet.

This time I really got a bargain.

Hand it to Miss Cat.

"Refine it for me, and I'll give you a processing fee."

Miss Cat nodded silently. Usually, items with these kinds of notes can be used to refine good things.

For example, a dilapidated axe was forged into a perfect one, and a perfect eyeball was forged into an epic one.

Ji Yi really got a great deal this time.

Thus, the four players and one NPC temporarily maintained a semblance of harmony.

Everyone slept soundly tonight.

The next day.

It's just dawn.

The five decided to set off.

"I'm the highest-level player here, so you can follow my commands without any problem, right?"

The snow leopard asked the group.

[Can I skip this part and fast-forward to the scene where the most foolish and incompetent person is vying to be the team leader?]

'You have time to complain, but could you help me see if there's any value I can extract from him?'

Hehe, you're so naughty, but I love it.

The snow leopard possesses a perfect-grade spirit spring amulet that can store spiritual energy and be used at will, thus compensating for your only weakness.

It was just a casual question, but it actually led me to discover something great.

Due to the lack of spiritual power, the divine ability of Tuoka Technique cannot be used at will.

The effect of the Blade of Destruction cannot be activated.

Ji Yi actually had some ideas.

Of course, they certainly wouldn't use theft, robbery, or fraud.

Ji Yi was lost in thought.

"It seems everyone has no objections, so I..."

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Aya stepped forward: "Mr. Ji is very capable. He is a survival master. I think he should be the team leader."

Snow Leopard & Sawman: "?"

The saw-wielding man asked uncertainly, "Aya, are you sure? He's a survival master, that's impossible, right?"

It's no wonder he was suspicious; a truly skilled player wouldn't only be level 10.

Unless you're one of the newest players.

But he remembered that the new batch of players had only been in the game for less than a month.

Even if you train day and night, it's almost impossible to reach level 10 in less than a month.

Therefore, it must be an older batch of players, that is, those who joined a year ago, which makes sense.

Um.
Sure enough, no matter how you look at it, Ji Yi couldn't possibly be a survival expert.

The snow leopard's psychological journey was similar.

They even started imagining that Aya was just attracted to the guy because he was handsome, and that she had all sorts of biases towards him.

Stupid woman, all she knows is looks, she can't even tell who's the king or queen.

at this time.

Ji Yi stepped forward.

His attitude was humble and docile, a stark contrast to his usual carefree demeanor.

"Aya, you flatter me. In this chaotic world, I only know a little about survival and have learned some reconnaissance skills to barely make a living. How can I compare to these two brave warriors who fought against zombies head-on?"

Xie Jiayi secretly rolled her eyes at Ji Yi.

She knew Ji Yi's character best and guessed that he was plotting something bad again.

Especially the attitude of the Joker in the last instance, who incited players on the broadcast, was quite impressive.

However, she still didn't say anything this time.

The two high-level players never showed any respect from beginning to end, even though Ji Yi had saved them.

Such a person, if she lets the "clown" play her tricks, she certainly wouldn't care.

Ji Yi continued:

"I've done some research, but I'm definitely not up to the task of leading the team. How about this, Brother Snow Leopard, you're undoubtedly the leader, and I'll be in charge of scouting and finding a suitable route forward. What do you all think?"

The snow leopard had a look on its face that said, "You're pretty smart, kid."

"So you've focused all your skills on reconnaissance, no wonder. Don't worry, as the team leader, I'll definitely keep the team safe."

"That really depends on Brother Snow Leopard, and also Brother Joyful Saw."

Great, the team is harmonious again.

　I'm writing slowly; I'm trying to figure out how to write a low-difficulty dungeon.
