This bug is amazing!

Chapter 185 Seizing the Preparations
Pangci and Xiaomang were stunned. What was Brother Ji going to do?
However, the two didn't ask any further questions. At this point, their only hope of survival lay with Brother Ji.
They were indeed reluctant to use the logout button, as it was something that required playing more than a dozen dungeons to obtain, so they avoided using it if possible.

The two did not follow into the melon field, but stood by the roadside and watched from a distance.

"Old man, how much are these melons?"

Seeing that the old farmer in front of him did not move, Ji Yi repeated himself.

Then, the old farmer, who was leisurely lying on the chair, glanced at Ji Yi and said: "15 yen, 30 jin."

Ji Yi did some mental calculations.

That's quite fair; it's even within the market price range.

Ji Yi thought for a moment and then said, "I don't have any money on me. Do you think I can trade you something?"

Upon hearing this, the old farmer's eyes revealed a hint of interest.

He sat up, a sharp glint in his deep-set eyes.

What are you going to offer in exchange?

Seeing that there was room for discussion, Ji Yi suppressed his joy and said mysteriously:

“I can give you anything: skin, flesh, soul. And see those two idiots on the roadside? They can be our bargaining chips too. But I’m planning to bet you on those.”

Ji Yi's voice seemed to have a certain allure.

[Skill effect "Bewitchment" activated]

This was stolen by Ji Yi using the [Card Copying Technique]. Unfortunately, it can only copy one temporary skill card at a time. The next time it can be copied, the other party needs to use it again.

Ji Yi's voice continued:
"If you win the bet, I can give you all of the above. But if I win, I need your help with something. Of course, this isn't mandatory; if you find it difficult, you can refuse when I ask you for it."

Ji Yi offered a condition that seemed to put her at a disadvantage.

But from the old farmer's perspective, this is perfectly reasonable.

These people were entirely at his mercy, subject to life and death, plunder, and were completely under his control; the relationship was inherently unequal.

In other words, he has no interest in attacking others; otherwise, if a fight were to break out, these few people wouldn't even be enough to fill his teeth.

The fact that the old farmer could not directly rob the other party of their soul as a wager was quite tempting.

"Can."

He said in a hoarse voice.

"What do you want to bet with me? Card games? Mahjong?"

The old farmer said leisurely, "Let me make this clear first: if you want to play with these things, please bring them yourself. As you can see, this old man is so poor now that all he has left are watermelons."

Ji Yi shook her head: "Why bother with all that? Let's just bet on the length of their **."

Old farmer: ?

He paused for a moment, then a hint of annoyance flashed across his face:
"Are you here to make this old man happy?"

A murderous intent suddenly erupted.

Before you utter those shameless words, I actually want to remind you of the story behind why this old man is single.

"."

Ji Yi quickly changed her tune: "No, it was just a joke."

As the data analysis tool displayed all the old farmer's information before him, Ji Yi quickly came up with a new way to compare the data.

"How about we compare who's taller?"

The old farmer narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and then a look of joy quickly appeared on his face.

He remained lying in the chair the whole time and never stood up, so he felt that Ji Yi definitely didn't know something.

The old farmer himself is 1.84 meters tall, which is considered outstanding among people in the island nation.

Ji Yi was clearly a little shorter than him.

After all, he had watched Ji Yi walk over, and he knew perfectly well how tall Ji Yi was.

"Okay, old man, I agree."

The old farmer was about to stand up when he thought about it again and looked at Pangpan and Xiaomang by the roadside.

He beckoned: "Come here, someone."

Pangci and Xiaomang seemed a little lost until Ji Yi looked at them and nodded slightly twice.

After a brief exchange, Xiao Mang quickly headed off across the fields.

Panties remained where she was, gazing worriedly in the direction of Ohiko City: "Is there enough time?"

It's no exaggeration to say that Ye Luoyanyu possessed an SS-level ghost story, and it would take more than ten miles to catch up in an instant.

In other words, they may appear to be safe now, but they could be suddenly ambushed and killed in an instant, without even having the chance to use the logout button.

Where does Brother Ji get his composure from?

Thinking of this, Pantsu gripped the logout button in her hand even tighter.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mang had already walked up to Ji Yi and the old farmer.

"Brother Ji, you called me here..."

"Hey, come over here and see who's taller. By the way, the rule is that neither of us can wear shoes, and of course, standing on our toes is no way either."

The old farmer's tone carried a hint of impatience, clearly finding the childish comparison uninteresting.

But the thought of so easily obtaining these people's souls made him patient.

The idea that ghost stories can interfere with a player's reality, such as taking away limbs or souls, is not actually an ability inherent in the ghost stories themselves.

This all stems from the subconscious layer added to them by the [Nightmare Level] dungeon.

Theoretically, all instances are real worlds, but the dimensions of the game are clearly higher than these worlds, which is unrelated to combat power.

Therefore, the ghost stories are interested in taking away the player's real flesh and soul, which is usually an additional cost caused by the difficulty of the dungeon. The difficulty of the nightmare dungeon is not only the loss of level upon death, but also the many penalties that may be encountered along the way.

"Okay, let's stop dawdling."

Ji Yi glanced in the direction of Dayan City: "After all, time is running out."

As he spoke, he took off his shoes and socks, and then rolled up his trouser legs.

"Come on, let's compare back to back."

As Ji Yi spoke, she turned her back to the old farmer.

The old farmer sneered at this, and his slightly hunched posture snapped straight up, chest out and head held high. He was indeed a bit taller than Ji Yi.

He pressed his back against Ji Yi's, and with a cold laugh, raised his head:
"Alright, let's announce the results now."

He glanced sideways at Xiao Mang.

But Xiao Mang's eyes widened, and he looked completely at a loss.

"Speak up, are you mute?"

The old farmer frowned, wondering whether he should turn this seemingly dim-witted boy into a watermelon.

Xiao Mang finally spoke up: "Brother Ji won, he's a little taller."

The old farmer flew into a rage: "You bastard! Are you lying through your teeth?! How could I possibly compare?"

He roared and turned around, then saw Ji Yi, who was half a head taller than him.

The old farmer was stunned. This was impossible!
He looked down along Ji Yi's head, but his vision was quickly drawn to something else.

Beside the melon field, a strange cradle appeared.

And a section of the lower leg is slowly being swallowed by the cradle.

The scene looked quite bizarre, as if the space inside the cradle was endless, like an abyss.

thigh?
Whose leg is this? Mine?
The old farmer looked down at his thick, muddy feet; his feet had not been cut off.

Then look at Ji Yi.

The legs, which were originally perfectly normal, have turned into completely blackened skeletons.

It was covered with only some indescribable flesh and blood, followed by a very thin, translucent layer of skin.

The old farmer's anger did not subside upon seeing this; this kid actually dared to play such a trick on him.

Regardless of the circumstances, Ji Yi cannot be considered to have committed a foul, and judging from the result, Ji Yi did indeed win.

But what good is winning?

If Ji Yi wins this verbal bet fair and square, that's fine. But if he's playing these petty tricks and wants to renege on it, then he should just renege.

Just as he was about to make his move against Ji Yi and Xiao Mang.

"He's coming, help me block him."

Ji Yi suddenly spoke.

Suddenly, the old farmer found his body defying his will and walking away into the distance.

"What exactly is going on?!"

【Title: Winners Attend the Table, Losers Eat Dirt】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect 1 "Let's Compare": Choose a unit to compare the strengths of both parties. This can be tangible or abstract, but both parties must agree on the outcome; otherwise, the comparison fails. (Note: This effect is not mandatory; the other party has the right to refuse the comparison.)]

[Effect 2 "Winner Takes All": The victor can take one item from the loser, which can be a tangible or abstract object (only applies to the current instance)]

"What I choose to take is..." Ji Yi said calmly.

"Your freedom for one day."

Ye Luoyanyu possesses divine skills; does Ji Yi not have them as well?

Even with skills that have a high ceiling and a low floor, Ji Yi can still perform at an extremely high level.

However, the conditions for activating this skill are relatively harsh. When there is a large gap in strength, most supernatural tales are too lazy to discuss the reasons with you and you often have to follow their own logic.

The only thing Ji Yi could control was the Ghost Tower, but because she needed to restrain Hei Yi, she couldn't rashly take away the Ghost Tower's power, otherwise the consequences would be hard to predict.

Therefore, for now, we can only use whatever is available at hand.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Yi didn't waste any more time. Instead, he looked at Xiao Mang and said, "Time is running out. If you want to live, do as I say. I need to take something from you temporarily."

Xiao Mang: "Huh?"

Before he could react, Ji Yi looked at Pangci and said, "You too, come here and get ready to fight."

After a while.

Ji Yi looked at her panel.

【Ji Yi: LV.14】

[Spiritual power: 62]

【Speed: 131】

[Agility: 38]

"It's better than nothing."

Looking at Pangci and Xiaomang again, all three of their values ​​had returned to zero.

Their faces were full of bitterness.

"Why do you all look like wronged little wives? These stats will be returned to you after the dungeon ends."

Ji Yi sighed.

"No, Brother Ji."

Panties seemed to have lost her confidence as she spoke: "Brother Ji, why did you have to compare Guan Yu of all things?"

Xiao Mang also said dejectedly, "I could have endured the darkness if I had never seen the light."

Ji Yi: "."

Is it really necessary? He didn't think that much about it; it was mainly for convenience when making comparisons.

After all, comparing weight or height is not always appropriate, and doing it one by one is inefficient.

"Alright, you two stay a little further away, he'll be here soon."

As Ji Yi spoke, ten syringes appeared in her hand.

The Nascent Soul stage experience card is ultimately too rare, so it should be saved whenever possible. It wasn't even used when the Ghost Tower faced a greater threat, let alone now.

His gaze swept across everything in his personal panel that might be useful, while Ji Yi injected himself with one synthetic steroid after another.

[Used: Synthetic steroids]

[Gain a large amount of basic stats]

[Used: Synthetic steroids]

[Gain a large amount of basic stats]

[Already used]

With a clanging sound, empty syringes were scattered all over the ground.

His body had grown to 2.5 meters tall, and the mutated flesh seemed to have undergone a subtle chemical reaction with the steroids, becoming abnormally large and significantly stronger than the rest of his limbs.

Despite feeling a surge of energy throughout her body, Ji Yi did not feel at ease.

He calmly gazed in the direction of Dayan City; the data eye provided the latest updates:
It seems Ye Luo Yan Yu has finally solved his inability to move, although he paid a price.

【Title: Fallen Leaves in the Misty Rain (Reborn, Possessing, Stitched-together Ghost)】

[Danger Level: Extremely Dangerous]

Rating: SS

Based on his current fusion progress, Ye Luo will arrive on the battlefield in three minutes.

'Three minus signs? If it goes any further back, it should drop into the S row.'

Ji Yi thought to herself, but she still did not underestimate Ye Luoyanyu.

Even an SS-level goalkeeper is still a double S-level goalkeeper, a terrifying level that can destroy half a city with a flick of the finger.

Ji Yi has only barely reached the threshold of S-level, and is far behind Ye Luo.

Whether it was the effect of the pesticide or not, Ji Yi felt a surge of irritability.
"Damn it, isn't that idiot delivery guy here yet?!"

The cursing had barely left his mouth when...

Suddenly, I felt a finger poking my waist.

Turning around, I saw a guy with a bull's head and a human body, dressed in a deliveryman's uniform.

【Name: A Top-Tier Delivery Service Card】

[Effect: Pay a fee to purchase what you want and have it delivered (delivery within two hours), no cooldown time]

"Hello. The idiot deliveryman has arrived."

The big shot looked up at Ji Yi, his face full of flattery and humility.

He clearly remembered that his clients didn't have such a ruthless character. This tall, muscular man was almost as intimidating to him as the convenience store owner.

He tried to be as obsequious as possible, but because it was a bull's head, Ji Yi could hardly discern any expression.

"I clearly ordered expedited delivery, but it's only arriving now. The efficiency is too low."

After Ji Yi finished speaking, she snatched the package from the big shot's hand and said, "Get lost."

The expert looked somewhat embarrassed: "You chose cash on delivery."

"Ok?"

Ji Yi looked at the expert and suddenly had an idea.

He chuckled and said:

"If you want to pay, fine, let's have a competition. Win or lose, I'll pay you."

The expert's voice trembled slightly: "What are we comparing?"

"height."

"what?"

The big shot looked up at the 2.5-meter-tall Ji Yi: "This..."

Ji Yi's tone left no room for argument: "Compare?"

"Then let's have the competition. You won, so now you can give it to me."

"can."

Ji Yi readily paid with the game coins in her hand.

Immediately afterwards, a system announcement popped up in my ear:

[Skill Acquired: Multidimensional Travel]

【Name: Multidimensional Travel】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Effect: Allows for spatial travel.]

[Eligibility for study: Employees of "▇▇ Express" company]

[Note: The Deliveryman's skill has been stolen by player "Ji Yi" and is only effective in the current instance.]
