Upon seeing someone appear, the four of them stopped one after another. Paliston was quite interested, Jingyang looked gloomy, Xiaoshi looked at the newcomer with curiosity, and Kubi's face was mostly covered by his long hair, but it was estimated that he didn't have any expression either.
"It's been a long time since we've encountered uninvited guests..." The burly, squinty-eyed Lei Zha stopped in front of them.
He was about to give his opening remarks when he suddenly noticed a murderous intent emanating from the boy standing next to the girl with glasses among the four people in front of him.
But this murderous intent was not directed at him.
Sensing the murderous intent emanating from Jing Yang directed at him, Kubi's pupils constricted sharply. He tried to react, but his body was completely out of his control.
Users with manipulation abilities are just that unreasonable.
After realizing that he had been affected by the opponent's manipulation ability, and that he had no idea how the opponent was controlling him, Kubi understood... he was probably going to die.
However, this murderous intent appeared only briefly and vanished in an instant. It seemed that Jing Yang had only acted on a whim and quickly abandoned it.
"He's worried about the survivors of those ships!" Kubi immediately understood. "He's unsure if killing me will immediately cause the lifeboats I copied, or even the island made up of countless Paliston replicas, to disappear..."
"But why did he suddenly feel murderous intent towards this Phantom Troupe member the moment he saw him?" Paliston wondered silently.
Kubi could guess what Jing Yang could guess, but he was a little puzzled by the timing of Jing Yang's murderous intent. He glanced at Jing Yang's expression out of the corner of his eye, but there didn't seem to be any particular reaction.
Murderous intent or malice will be truthfully reflected in one's "qi" (energy). Top assassins can train to conceal their killing intent to the greatest extent possible until the moment they strike, when there is nothing left to hide. They also compress the moment the killing intent bursts forth as much as possible. Ideally, the moment the killing intent appears, it signifies the target's death, and the target doesn't even have time to react before their life is taken... It is said that the famous assassin family, the Zoldyck, possesses such professional skills. But Jing Yang undoubtedly lacks such experience and control.
Of course, these were just fleeting changes. The quick-witted Paliston and the person involved, Kubi, would draw many connections, but Leiza didn't care.
Lei Zha, hands in his pockets and squinting, said, "This newcomer doesn't seem friendly. It's making me nervous."
Little Drop raised her hand and asked curiously, "Excuse me, who are you? Is this Greed Island?"
Since she asked this question... Lei Zha asked, "Let me ask you first, did you drift here from the sea? Logically speaking, it's impossible to drift to this island just by going with the tide."
“Don’t answer questions with questions,” Paliston asked with a smile. “Logically speaking, would anyone have discovered our landing so quickly and found us so accurately?”
With a flutter, three birds flew down from the sky and landed next to Jingyang and Xiaodi respectively.
Leizha squinted and said, "I am Leizha. This is indeed Greed Island, and I am one of the developers of this game."
“I’m mainly responsible for the game design of the Emission System…” he said, while rummaging in his shorts pocket, “moving with spells, and… dealing with external enemies.”
Upon seeing this situation, Jingyang immediately recalled a scene from a comic book and quickly said, "Wait a minute!"
Seeing Lei Zha looking over, Jing Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "Who said we're foreign enemies? Who said it's impossible for us to have drifted to this island? We drifted here! If you don't believe me, go to the beach and see. The lifeboats haven't drifted far yet. There's plenty of evidence. We're refugees, okay? You big-eyed guy, are you even being reasonable?"
Chapter 68 finally brought some peace and quiet.
Swoosh, swoosh...
Two white lines flew through the night sky, with two figures on top, as if they had just wandered into the wrong place from the Dragon Ball set, flying over in the darkness... Thud, thud, the two swiftly arrived and landed beside Leizha, both burly men with fierce faces, but wearing comical hats.
They brought food and hot water, and as Lei Zha had instructed, handed them over to Jing Yang and the other three. They were still somewhat incredulous, though, "There really are unlucky souls who drifted here?"
“This is the first time I’ve seen one either,” Leizha said, squinting as he returned from the beach. “It is indeed an ordinary lifeboat, but that’s precisely why it shouldn’t have drifted to this island.”
“That makes a lot of sense.” Jing Yang accepted the hot food and water without any hesitation and shared it with Xiao Di. He picked up disposable chopsticks and said, “But Nen ability isn’t something so inconvenient. What is impossible? Take this guy,” he pointed the chopsticks at Kubi, “his ability is to copy any item. Isn’t that convenient? Isn’t that useful? Aren’t you envious?”
"With his help, even with just one lifeboat, we can drift as far and as long as we want..."
Jingyang and Xiaodi ate to replenish their energy. Kubi continued to starve without any human rights. Paliston, on the other hand, looked at the two burly men with fierce faces flying towards them. He recalled Leiza's self-introduction earlier, "I am mainly responsible for the game design of the emission type, using spells to move," and he understood a little bit about the possible gameplay of this Greed Island game.
Since this Leiza claims to be in charge of the release system, it means that this game has multiple developers, each responsible for different areas...
Is the Conjuration system responsible for creating terrain? Items? Or even various NPCs within the game?
Is there a specialization system? If so, is it responsible for setting the overall game framework and rules?
What about the reinforcement system? Are they responsible for the strength of things like "monsters" and "skills" in the game?
Just then, Leizha saw that Jingyang and Xiaodi had almost finished eating, while Kubi and Paliston showed no interest in eating. He squinted and slowly said, "I told you, this is the first time I've ever seen people like you who actually drifted to this island. In fact, this is the first time I've ever served food and hot water like this."
Xiao Di put down her chopsticks and looked at Lei Zha. Jing Yang finished his meal in a few bites and wiped his mouth.
“In other words, the so-called ‘external enemies’ refers to all those who land on the island from the sea.” Leizha reached into his pocket again and pulled out a card. “I apologize for the poor hospitality, but that’s enough for now. From now on, since they are ‘external enemies,’ we must follow the rules.”
"You're not a martial arts master!" Jing Yang, who had just eaten about 40-50% of his fill, stared with dead fish eyes as he and Xiao Di looked at the card that Lei Zha was showing them—'Exclusion'.
Besides the spell name and other sequence information, the card also has a large image with the text "Administrator Only" and a brief description of the spell card's function: "Send all those who have entered Greed Island by improper means to a certain place on the continent of Ezhen."
In the comics, the Phantom Troupe members sailed to Greed Island, and on the same dark night, they encountered Leiza. In the end, Leiza used this card to instantly "expel" them.
"This is a special spell that only the master of the game can use. To deal with external enemies, you need to use special items."
Lei Zha acted like a referee showing a yellow card, holding up the administrator spell card "Exclusion," and even explained to Jing Yang and the others what he was going to do next, making people suspect that this explanation was some kind of constraint imposed by the spell card.
"I'm sorry, I must ask you to leave..." Lei Zha said slowly.
boom!
Suddenly, Kubi walked uncontrollably toward Jingyang, and then Jingyang slapped him on the forehead, knocking him to the ground.
This situation was unexpected not only by Paliston but also by Leiza. The two burly-faced guys who flew over using skill cards were even more puzzled.
From an angle they couldn't see, on Kubi's forehead, which was covered by her long hair, the rose-gold star had already disappeared after touching Jingyang's hand...
Jing Yang understood that he and the others would soon be eliminated by Lei Zha using the 'Elimination' spell card, so he wanted to remove the star from Kubi's forehead before that happened. However, in the brief pause Lei Zha made in surprise, he suddenly noticed the description of the 'Elimination' card Lei Zha was pointing to: "Send all those who entered Greed Island by improper means to a certain place on the continent of Ezhen..."
The continent of Ezhen? Isn't that the continent where the Kingdom of Kajin is located?
My buddy flew all the way here, got into a plane crash for no reason, and then spent a whole day at sea in a lifeboat. He finally made it to this island, only to be sent back to it by you with a "plane ticket"? And it's the last place he wants to go, the stronghold of the Kakin Kingdom!
Just as Leizha was about to activate the 'Eliminate' spell card, Jingyang shouted, "Stop the card!" and kicked Kubi, sending the guy, who had just escaped the control of the star and was both bewildered and weak, flying towards Leizha. "This guy is a member of the Phantom Troupe, worth hundreds of millions. He's yours..."
The two burly men, all "summoned minions" of Leiza, were both surprised and suspicious upon hearing this, their eyes gleaming with desire as they looked at Kubi. Leiza, however, remained unmoved, saying, "We're just a game operator, not a law enforcement agency. You've got the wrong people. Use the platoon—"
Seeing that he and Xiao Di were about to be "repatriated" and sent to the territory of the Kajin Kingdom at the speed of light, Jing Yang had no choice but to shout, "Mr. Jin's disciple asked me to pass on a message to you!"
Upon hearing this, the others were puzzled.
Mr. Jin?
Even Paliston's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Even more surprisingly, Lei Zha stopped what he was doing. Instead of immediately using the special spell card "Exclusion" from the Authority Dog, he frowned slightly, exuding a dangerous aura. He opened his eyes, which had been narrowed, and looked at Jing Yang who was speaking.
Of course, everyone else was watching Jingyang too. This included Kubi, who was full of escape plans, and Paliston.
"Why are you still here?" Jing Yang turned to look at Paliston, then pointed at him and said earnestly to Leizha, "Don't misunderstand! This shameless bastard is just trying to hitch a ride on our lifeboat; he's not one of us..."
Before Jingyang could finish speaking, Leizha had already raised the 'Exclusion' card again and pointed it at Paliston, saying, "Use 'Exclusion'."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dense aura surged from the card in his hand.
Paliston looked bewildered as Jing Yang waved to him. Suddenly, Paliston transformed into a puff of white smoke and vanished into thin air...
Jingyang suddenly felt a sense of relief and wanted to clap his hands in celebration, "Finally, some peace and quiet!"
Whoosh!
Just as Paliston was being expelled, Kubi transformed into a blur and leaped away, attempting to escape.
Without even looking, Leiza banished Paliston, then raised his hand and released a ball of Nen. Like playing beach volleyball, he tossed the ball high into the air and then punched it away!
boom!
The Nen ball transformed into a killer volleyball, chasing after the fleeing Kubi and striking him with a deafening boom.
Kubi was blasted away and rolled to the side, his clothes torn to shreds. Although he managed to curl up into a ball to defend himself, his body was covered in blood...
Jingyang noticed that Kubi used this defensive stance to prioritize protecting his vital hands. Moreover, although he was seriously injured by Leiza's casual Nen bullet, it wasn't life-threatening.
It seems that Kubi, who can casually create 50 abandoned buildings and flood Palistan replicas to fill the sea, certainly has considerable Nen.
Even more impressive is Lei Zha's strength... Jing Yang knew that this former death row inmate, personally arrested by Jin = Freecss, was formidable, but seeing him in person revealed just how formidable he truly was!
After the fierce Leiza stopped Kubi's escape, he raised the 'Exclusion' card again, looked at Jingyang indifferently, and glanced at Xiaodi, who was already holding the materialized vacuum cleaner in a defensive posture.
"Mr. Jin's disciple?" Lei Zha asked.
“Arantelle = Blanchett, King = Freecss’s disciple! You must know him, right?” Jing Yang said quickly.
"Go on."
Lei Zha temporarily put down the "Exclusion" card in his hand, thinking to himself, "So the famous founder of Blanchett's Company is actually King's disciple?"
"What does he want you to tell me?"
"Well, that's a long story..."
Jingyang exchanged a glance with Xiaodi, who was looking over from the side, and the latter was full of question marks.
He sighed.
This is so mushy, how do you continue with the embroidery?
Chapter 69 Lei Zha, you just wait!
"We inadvertently triggered the divine inscription left by Jin and entered the tomb of the True Martial King, Viktor Hugo..."
Jingyang ultimately didn't completely fabricate the story, simply recounting their experiences on Ghost Island. Of course, in the version he told Leizha, Jingyang intentionally obscured his identity, portraying himself as a civilian hunter, similar to Xiaodi, hired by the Okima government. He then entered the ancient tomb during a mission, discovered Jin's message in the tomb chamber, and later became acquainted with Jin's disciple, Arantriel, and so on.
Lei Zha dismissed the two burly men he had called to help him and listened to Jing Yang's explanation alone.
Jin is a relic hunter; he knows that.
However, he didn't know much about Kim either.
Leiza was originally just a death row inmate with a history of murder. After being arrested and imprisoned by Jin, he was hired by Jin to work on Greed Island as one of the game's developers.
Jin is an extraordinary strongman; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to beat me so badly back then.
King was a genius with wildly imaginative ideas; otherwise, the Greed Island he stood on, conceived by a group of people out of sheer fantasy, might never have become a reality.
Leizha's understanding of Jin was basically limited to Jin during this period. At that time, Jin was around 20 years old.
Now, he learned from this boy that King had a protégé who was now one of the world's richest men and the founder of Blanchett's company...
Jin's footsteps have truly never stopped.
As a hunter, what is King still searching for after leaving Greed Island...?
Lei Zha listened to Jing Yang recount his experiences on Ghost Island, and even when he heard about some of the deeds related to the True Martial King, his expression did not change.
