I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 362 is so exciting (26)

Reaching the window, Meng Lingyi noticed seven fireworks shooting into the night sky, illuminating seven directions.

There, a black void gate appeared; by passing through it, one could leave with the supplies in their backpack.

Players who find high-value items will naturally choose to leave, while players who find low-value items will want to stay and take a gamble.

The problem is, others know that too.

He was in a high position, so he could see that some players were already carrying bulging packages, happily preparing to leave, when they were suddenly beheaded by a sword flash on the way to the outside world.

Seeing that the other person's head had already fallen off the bridge, Meng Lingyi knew that there was no point in trying to save him.

Then, someone emerged from the shadows and quickly searched the victim's backpack, but the attacker gained nothing from the search.

The small magical artifact was thrown from a distance, and upon landing, it blasted the person into the air. Both the person's own package and the deceased's package became new spoils of war.

In just one minute, more than a dozen battles broke out at this retreat point.

As the void gate in the distance began to flicker, more people started to evacuate. They took advantage of the others being attacked to leave, and some of the bolder ones even managed to steal some items in the chaos, which then sparked new conflicts, making the place extremely chaotic.

When the void gate disappeared, several areas instantly turned gray, and an invisible force field enveloped those areas, instantly turning players who couldn't dodge into nothingness.

A few minutes later, the loot on the ground will also disappear and never return.

Although the server has only been open for a short time, some players have already mastered the rules and become unrestrained.

Furthermore, each player can choose to hide or show their name. Most players chose to hide their name, so they could quietly loot other players' inventory without worrying about being resented.

In addition, players inside the restricted area will die, but non-player characters inside the restricted area will not.

They will be teleported to other areas, where they will receive minor enhancements, increasing the value of their loot and giving them a chance to obtain usable or enhanced items.

Seeing the players hiding in the shadows again, Meng Lingyi felt her breathing become rapid.

Something ingrained in his instincts was awakened, making "him" feel his heart racing and his consciousness becoming heightened.

Hunting is a human instinct, and this dream simulates that hunting process.

Everyone is both prey and hunter. The black factory has become a vast hunting ground where everyone can fight and risk their lives without restraint, and then leave with their spoils.

Death is everywhere, and the shadow of losing everything has always loomed over this place, making Meng Lingyi feel an unprecedented excitement.

He rushed into a room and searched it rapidly, turning over everything with incredible speed, and luckily found a green item there:
【Sharp Cicada Silk】

[Quality: Green]

[Value: 5000]

[Durability: 90/90]

[Effect: Extremely sharp cicada silk, can be imbued with one attribute, and can be used as weapon and recyclable trap material.]

Just as Meng Lingyi equipped the item, she heard footsteps.

The footsteps were hurried and rushed this time, and judging from the sound, they didn't belong to a non-player character, but to a player.

The direction the other party was pointing was very clear: it was the room where he was.

The enemy has already figured out my movements, and their goal is likely to eliminate me as soon as possible. Once the first retreat points appear, this battlefield will be sealed off, and subsequent players will be unable to enter.

Whether for a safe evacuation later or to continue looting the resources here, the fewer players left behind, the better.

When a player is exposed for various reasons, they should either quickly relocate or immediately begin setting traps to prepare for a counterattack.

Dream Zero One chose the latter.

He divided the golden cicada silk into two portions, placing one portion at the doorway and holding the other in his hand.

The other party's recklessness suggests either they've found some valuable items or they're extremely confident in their abilities.

Since running away now would make us vulnerable to being sniped, we might as well stay here and take care of the other party; we might even make some good discoveries.

Thinking of this, Meng Ling reached for her waist.

He entered the game as a player of "Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu" and his special ability is the four demon-subduing orbs on his waist.

One is Bai Ze, which can tell you the approximate location of a high-value item every time you use it, and refreshes the count every time a retreat point appears.

One is Suzaku, which temporarily imbues weapons with a fire effect, but it also causes the weapon's durability to decrease faster. The number of uses refreshes each time a retreat point appears.
Riding the Yellow Light grants the user a five-second ethereal state, allowing them to pass through physical barriers such as walls, but also slows their movement speed and increases the damage they take from magical attacks. This effect can be used once per battle.

Dijiang can sing, and hearing his singing can restore his condition. However, his singing is very loud, and he will be discovered quickly. The number of times he can sing is refreshed each time a retreat point appears.

In addition to these, "he" can also use Abyss Coins to strengthen the base, giving it special effects and unlocking more features.

He touched the Vermilion Bird's Demon-Subduing Orb, and the power of the flames began to spread across the Golden Cicada Silk.

When the door was kicked open, Meng Lingyi did not go out. Instead, she activated Chenghuang, and her body immediately turned into mist, passing through the wall and standing in the corridor.

He quickly ended the state, and saw that the other party had noticed the trap on the ground and was about to dodge it when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

When the other person turned around, he saw a burly man dressed as an idol singer standing behind him, with the golden cicada silk already wrapped around his neck.

The magical artifact in his hand was already activated, and invisible finger force immediately burst forth, but it only grazed Meng Lingyi's shoulder and completely prevented Meng Lingyi from hanging the Golden Cicada Silk around his neck.

With a scream, the opponent's unprotected head flew into the air, and the magical weapon in his hand fell limply to the ground.

With a look of resentment in his eyes, the player's corpse turned into a box and fell in front of Dream Zero One.

Having collected the Golden Cicada Silk, Meng Lingyi looked at the box in front of her and suddenly shouted excitedly.

"It worked! I knew I could do it!"

"Ha, who's in charge now! Tell me, who's in charge now!"

"He's looting the chest! This guy's got some serious fat! Five thousand gold-devouring ant eggs, ten spirit stones totaling thirty thousand, fifteen emergency spirit herbs worth thirty thousand, that's a hundred thousand in total!"

However, the other party had clearly placed the magical artifact in a safe compartment, so it didn't fall out, which is a pity.

But it doesn't matter. The income of 100,000 directly made Meng Lingyi richer, and he could use some things now, which greatly enhanced "his" strength.

The substantial rewards boosted his confidence and gave him even more motivation to continue.

This dream was so exciting!
