Excessive ferocity due to caution

The room was silent.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Yi's actions could also be considered cheating.

However, it did not violate the rules of the game.

There seemed to be dark shadows lurking outside the window, but without the clown's command, they couldn't come in.

After a long while, the clown slowly placed his left hand fingers into the guillotine, and with a crisp sound, his finger was cut off!

Everyone was incredibly excited. The clown's action meant that he had admitted to losing the tenth round of rock-paper-scissors!

They...don't have to die!

Looking up, the clown watched with great interest as Zhao Yi took out gauze to bandage his blood-soaked hand.

"Mr. Zhao, I want to know... when did you start plotting against me?"

Zhao Yi shrugged.

"It started when I cut off my third finger."

"As everyone knows, rock-paper-scissors is a game of luck."

"Since it's a game of luck, there can't be a winner every time. The fact that you keep beating me clearly means you have your own cheating methods."

"So in the fifth, seventh, and eighth rounds, I deliberately changed my rock-paper-scissors game behind the black cloth."

"But unsurprisingly, I still lost."

"So at that time, I guessed... you must have X-ray vision."

These were actually feints that Zhao Yi deliberately made to conceal his abilities.

He will not reveal his ability to see NPC data.

"At that moment, I suddenly realized that to beat you one last time, I had to set a trap to strip you of your X-ray vision and force you to play a fixed game of rock-paper-scissors... Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Zhao Yi explained his thoughts in detail, and the clown couldn't help but clap his hands in admiration:

"So, when you cut your seventh finger, you deliberately chose the thumb of your right hand in rock-paper-scissors, making everyone think that you could only choose scissors or rock for the last round of rock-paper-scissors."

"So after I close my eyes and can no longer use my X-ray vision, I will definitely play the stone in order to be sure of winning the game."

"In the end, you cut off your own finger ahead of time, turning your scissors and rock into paper..."

"I must say, Mr. Zhao, your move was truly brilliant!"

"This is the most fun rock-paper-scissors game I've ever played!"

The clown stood up, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed to the group.

"I will keep my promise."

"From now on, this general store will provide you and your guild with all the goods inside for free indefinitely."

"And I owe you a personal favor..."

"Furthermore, after you leave the general store, I will grant Mr. Zhao three talent points according to the game rules, and the others one talent point each... This is also a personal matter!"

Private gift means that these three talent points are not included in the open world quests.

Everyone clenched their fists in excitement!

The clown came to the door and personally opened it for Zhao Yi and his group of five.

As the group left the room, they were enveloped in a warm, pure white light!

……

[Congratulations to Zhao Yi, Fang Bai, Bai Shuiji, Liu Han, and Tian Tian for successfully unlocking the new guild scene – the General Store. A ten-meter radius around this area within the station will be a safe zone, and players within this zone will not be harmed!]

……

The announcement caused a stir among all the players in the guild!

"Someone actually unlocked the general store?"

"Holy crap! Wasn't that underworld place supposed to have killed thousands of people?"

"Yeah, I remember we were going to play some kind of rock-paper-scissors game with the clown... basically, every time someone went, they died!"

"Are this year's rookies that amazing? They actually crippled that clown idiot?"

"Damn... Zhao Yi is number one on this year's newcomer list, no wonder he's so awesome!"

"Finally, we won't have to eat the food from the base's warehouse anymore... we were absolutely sick of it!"

"..."

Outside the station, Xiang Weishan stared at the grocery store inside, his face extremely cold!

He clenched his fists tightly, unable to understand.

Why didn't Zhao Yi die?!

I clearly gave him the wrong information... so why did he win?!

Could it be... that he saw through my scheme?

In an instant, a variety of thoughts surfaced in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Weishan immediately called over his underlings and whispered a few words in their ears. The underlings nodded and bowed and headed towards the crowd in the distance.

Zhao Yi and his group reappeared inside the general store. Bai Shuiji touched his body, trembling with excitement!

I... won the gamble!

Not only did they survive, but they also gained a talent point for no reason!

Without hesitation, she added it to her strength attribute!

Don't underestimate this power.

It increases all attributes related to physical constitution!

Liu Han and Fang Bai were equally excited. They were thrilled to have Zhao Yi as their backer!

"Brother Zhao, why don't we go back to the guild headquarters first... your hand injury is more serious!"

Fang Bai was not a treacherous person who would betray his principles for personal gain. Instead of prioritizing completing the Butcher Game, he sent Zhao Yi back to the guild to recover from his injuries.

Whether it's an injury from a world quest or an injury from a dungeon, as long as it's not accompanied by some mysterious power, it can be repaired at the guild headquarters.

However, Zhao Yi didn't seem to care about the injury on his hand. He stood at the entrance of the general store, looking at the butcher shop on the second floor in the darkness, which was lit with a dark red light, and seemed eager to try it out.

"It's just a little bleeding, nothing serious."

The clown appeared beside Zhao Yi at some point, looking at the butcher shop with him, his tone somewhat meaningful.

"There's a madman living there."

"He's not as rule-abiding as I am."

Zhao Yi seemed to be deep in thought.

"Is there anything he wants to do?"

Xiao Fan smiled slightly and patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder.

"The butcher is looking for his daughter."

After finishing his sentence, the clown turned and went into his shop, sat down at the counter, and greeted several players who came over.

Zhao Yi walked towards the butcher shop, with Fang Bai and the others following closely behind.

Having tasted the sweetness of the clown game, they had even more confidence in Zhao Yi and were naturally willing to follow him.

However, when Zhao Yi was heading to the elevator on the second floor, he was blocked by more than a dozen players.

"Zhao Yi, you've already completed a game and received your reward. Shouldn't this task be left to someone else?"

A young man with green hair spoke in a provocative tone.

To be honest, he himself wouldn't dare to take on this task.

After all, more people die in the Butcher game than in the Joker game!

Therefore, the Butcher game is even more dangerous than the Joker game!

But they don't do it themselves, nor do they want others to do it.

After all, everyone is still on the same starting line, and there is no significant gap. Once the snowball starts rolling, it will only become more and more difficult for them to catch up with the leading players in the future.

The leader of the "Honest Guild" doesn't care about anything, which means that although the guild seems to be a mixed bag with loose members, the internal competition is actually more intense and brutal!

Not long ago, they saw a lone player with a broken leg being thrown to the butcher at the meat shop!

In this world overrun by ghosts and monsters, humans are no better than ghosts!

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"If we don't go... then you're the ones who should go?"

Fang Bai was not intimidated by the number of people on the other side. His originally round face was now full of ferocity!

He knew all too well that without the constraints of the law, people would have no bottom line.

These guys, instead of striving to become stronger, try to gain an advantage by weakening others. They're truly selfish and disgusting!

"Heh, world quests belong to everyone. You want to hoard the rewards for yourselves? How selfish!"

This green-haired guy was no pushover either. He pulled out a sharp dagger, his face flashing with a fierce light. A group of players behind him also surrounded him, taking out some cheap weapons from their inventory, not intending to let Zhao Yi pass.

Zhao Yi didn't retaliate, but instead pointed his remaining middle finger at the green-haired man and gave him a bright smile.

"You know what? I can kill you with just one finger."

Green Hair was taken aback by Zhao Yi's smile. After all, he was a small leader with many subordinates watching him. With Zhao Yi's words, where would he put his face?

"WCNM!"

Green Hair angrily stepped forward with his knife, wanting to teach Zhao Yi a lesson, but he didn't know that Zhao Yi's strength was already as high as 21 points!

And he... is still in single digits!

Just as he raised his knife, Zhao Yi had already moved with a swift step to the green-haired man's front, turned around, bent down, and delivered an elbow strike to the green-haired man's liver. The latter immediately turned into a hunched shrimp with his eyes bulging out!

The next moment, Zhao Yi used a powerful Lushan Rising Dragon Strike, accurately stabbing his middle finger into the green hair's nostril!

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and in that instant, Green Hair felt a strange and wonderful sensation.

A mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy emotions surged into his mind in an instant.

This feeling is like when I was a child, my beloved grandmother was wearing that brightly colored floral cotton-padded jacket, carrying a basin of poop and looking for me everywhere, wanting to feed me.

The mysteries within are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

He instinctively dropped the knife in his hand, covered his face, and tried to pull out Zhao Yi's middle finger!

However, the next moment, he found himself being lifted into the air and thrown by a tremendous force toward the distant steps!

Suddenly, the large, bleeding nostrils felt an unprecedented emptiness.

boom!

He slammed hard onto the ground, feeling completely disoriented. Only then did the excruciating pain spread from his nasal cavity all the way to his brain. He covered his nose and cried out in pain, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Zhao Yi!

Other people who had gathered around couldn't help but slowly take a few steps back!

Zhao Yi looked at his left middle finger, which was covered in blood and snot, and couldn't help but wipe it on Fang Bai's clothes. Fang Bai was stunned for a moment, then finally reacted and jumped up and down, saying:

"Damn! That's too much, Zhao Yi!"

"I respect you being number one, but you can't just rub such disgusting stuff directly on me!"

"I have paper!"

Zhao Yi looked at his middle finger and chuckled:

"It's alright, I've already wiped it clean!"

Fang Bai: "..."
