Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

There's definitely something strange about this realistic dungeon—

**

There will be another update this afternoon.

I had hot barley tea with chrysanthemum and rock sugar in the morning, it was so delicious! You should definitely try it if you have the chance! (=?ω?)ノ

Chapter Twenty-Four: They're Just That Bored (Remember to check your monthly passes at the end of the month!)

There are rules for entering the dungeon; you can't just go in at will.

Only those who break the rules get arrested.

Unlike other places, such as the study, kitchen, and back garden, each place has a clear objective. You can go to these places to talk to real NPCs. Some are for money-making tasks, while others can increase the favorability of real NPCs and obtain more information about the scene.

For example, the secrets of different characters—

Yes, every character has a secret that is unknown to others, which is also their weakness.

By exploiting weaknesses, one can coerce the other party into obeying.

It could belong to an NPC, or it could belong to a player.

The fact that the eunuch and the imperial concubine were childhood sweethearts and in love is Bai Weiran and Qin Ning's weakness.

Once discovered, the imperial concubine will lose power.

The purpose of other locations is to gather information and make money, so what is the use of the dungeon?

Was a special place set up to detain people?

If no one breaks the rules, the dungeon will remain empty and useless.

This is unreasonable. To build a real set for a dispensable purpose, there are only six real set locations in the entire show, one of which is the dungeon. Not to mention that there are two jailers in the dungeon who are playing dice and gambling in front of Bai Weiran and Wu Ji, getting carried away with the performance.

"Come on, Lao Li, I've been beating you all night, I'm getting embarrassed—"

"Ugh! What bad luck! I keep losing every single game. I don't believe you, let's try again!"

Bai Weiran leaned against the railing, scrutinizing the two prison guards.

There's only one reason why the dungeon might not be useless—that is, according to the rules or the storyline, there will definitely be players who are dragged here for violating the rules.

Bai Weiran pondered, recalling the concubines who had come to pledge allegiance to the Imperial Concubine.

It's highly likely that there are not only traitors from Wu Ji's side, but also traitors from third-party forces.

As he was thinking, he turned his head and found that Wu Ji had somehow gotten very close, his fan covering half of his face, revealing a sneaky expression.

Bai Weiran turned his head, closed his fan, tapped the handle in his hand, and chuckled.

"Whispering to my father-in-law, do I look handsome today?"

"Get out of here."

They were so close they'd practically kiss without a fan to shield them, but Bai Weiran knew he had no interest in that.

Wu Ji shrugged and quickly took two steps back.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Weiran asked him.

Wu Ji chuckled, "Whatever you're here for, Father-in-law, I'll do."

Two expert gamers engage in a battle of riddles.

Translate these two sentences, and it basically means—

Bai Weiran: [Are you here to investigate clues about a third-party force?]

Wu Ji: [If you can come and investigate, why can't I?]

"Does that mean you'll do whatever I do? Will you come with me?" Bai Weiran asked again.

Wu Ji fanned himself, remaining noncommittal.

"We'll see how things go. Everyone should just do what they're supposed to do. They don't necessarily have to follow their father-in-law's wishes."

"Would you like to team up with me?"

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to do what you said.

"Will you get in my way?" Bai Gonggong questioned.

The gray-haired prince chuckled and patted his sleeve. "Eunuch, don't forget your own stance. What is your stance, and what is mine?"

Will you get in my way?

"Of course, you're one of the Imperial Concubine's people, and I'm from another faction. I'll definitely try to get in your way."

Their eyes met, there was no gunpowder, but undercurrents were surging.

He's a longtime friend, but he speaks very little and talks a lot of riddles, leaving the two jailers outside completely bewildered.

No, brother, what are you two trying to figure out?

Bai Weiran and Wu Ji glanced over, and they quickly realized the importance of an actor's self-cultivation.

"This little bit of money isn't enough for me to win! Old Li! I think we should just give up!"

"Sigh, I knew it! That prisoner who was dragged out the other day died a violent death—it's bad luck! I can't use my luck to gamble; I need to find a benefactor to lend me some good fortune! But where in this world is there a benefactor willing to lend luck to someone like me? Sigh, sigh, sigh, sigh—"

The two talked loudly while glancing at Bai Weiran and Wu Ji.

The implication is clear.

The organizers gave each character a silver note, with the number of notes varying depending on their status and position.

Bai Weiran and Wu Ji are of higher status and start with more silver notes, but their disadvantages are also obvious: many money-making side quests will refuse to let them do them.

If you want to ask a young eunuch for a task, he will grovel and shout, "No, no, you're too kind to me! I don't understand anything!"

The dungeon was clearly not a legitimate business; it was a gambling den.

Wu Ji leaned on the railing, unfolded his fan, and smiled.

"Young Master Bai, this reminds me of when we played games in high school."

Bai Weiran remembered it too.

A game he and Wu Ji used to love playing was called "rock-paper-scissors clapping".

To put it simply, the game is quite simple: two people hold hands with one hand and play rock-paper-scissors with the other hand. The person who wins the game slaps the back of the other person's hand.

At first, everyone was very reserved, and they played rock-paper-scissors slowly and gently.

After a few rounds of winning and losing, both sides became impatient and their competitive spirit flared up. They played rock-paper-scissors and slapped each other's hands faster and faster, sometimes hitting each other forty times in a minute.

It was a simple game, almost boring, but both of them laughed.

It truly meets the basic characteristics that a game should have.

The gameplay is clear, suitable for all ages, and anyone can pick it up.

The thrill and reward mechanisms are also very clear: winning means you get to show off and become a thug, while losing means you get beaten up and wail in pain.

Many people roll their eyes and say this game is boring when they hear about it, but these two were that boring before, and they are still pretty boring now. They work diligently in the game industry, but players criticize them and the game developers should be sacrificed.

“It’s been a long time since we were on opposing sides. How about we have some fun today? You don’t mind, do you?” Wu Ji’s eyes flashed with provocation.

"Young Master Bai, is it because you're getting old that you can't handle the fun anymore?"

His smile revealed the youthful spirit he once possessed.

Bai Weiran smiled, pursing her lips.

"Boring, I've long forgotten what happened back then."

A few minutes later, the two jailers huddled to the side, watching Bai Weiran and Wu Ji, who had taken the lead in a fierce dice game, looking completely bewildered, trembling, weak and helpless.

No, what's going on with you two teaming up to beat the NPCs to a pulp first, and then the two of you gambling heavily against each other?

Bai Weiran threw the dice, which clattered in the bowl. He remained calm, but his words were provocative.

"Are you sure you can do it? Wu Ji, I'm asking you, are you sure you can do it?"

"Am I up to the task? Young Master Bai, I'll come to your house tonight and show you whether I'm up to the task or not—"

Men enjoy talking big for a moment, but when a yandere abuses her husband, it's like going to his doom. Wu Ji's ears start bleeding, and the blood drips into a bowl, rolling out a bowl full of human blood dice. The two actor-turned-prison guards are terrified, screaming and yelling, and searching the room for a first-aid kit to bandage Wu Ji.

Both of them were driven by their competitive spirit, and the battle escalated from the dungeon gambling table into the main storyline.

A high-energy, overpowered game designer friend, their love-hate relationship is one where no one else can interfere.

Qin Ning even seriously doubted for more than ten minutes that Wu Ji might be the person she should be wary of.

But in the end, both Wu Ji and Bai Weiran suffered heavy losses.

Today's update, brothers!

Ugh, Bai Shao and Wu Ji are so boring! But I love how boring they are!! Only those who've been bored together can be called brothers ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Chapter Twenty-Five: Reason Loses to Emotion (4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

In this live-action RPG, Bai Weiran and Wu Ji performed a series of impressive maneuvers, only to find their score was 0-5.

The two engaged in a battle of wits, using their collective intelligence to uncover the traitors planted in their respective camps. They continuously persuaded and turned against each other, with more people defecting to Bai Weiran's side. However, some members of Wu Ji's camp learned about the eunuch's unknown past with the imperial concubine by completing tasks with the old eunuch NPC and raising his favorability to the highest level.

Wu Ji's camp had seized upon Bai Weiran's fatal weakness, intending to accuse the Imperial Concubine of having an affair with the Duke—

In a moment of extreme urgency, Bai Weiran took out the prop, the Golden Cup.

There are two ways to use the item [Golden Cup].

One method involves the poisoner secretly hiding the "golden cup" in the room of the person in question and informing the organizers. If the poisoner fails to discover the poison overnight, the room's occupant is declared dead by the organizers the following morning.

One method is to announce that if used directly, the user will die on the spot.

Bai Weiran obtained the Golden Cup from his own people the very next day, but he never used it, holding onto it tightly. This was a very cunning move, because no one was using the Golden Cup, and the enemy camp was uneasy, busy searching rooms every night. Bai Weiran cleverly used this opportune moment to turn Wu Ji's people against him.

On the last day, when Wu Ji was about to expose the affair between the eunuch and the imperial concubine, forcing the imperial concubine to lose power, Bai Weiran delivered a righteous and awe-inspiring rebuttal. Finally, he took out a golden cup, declaring that he would die to prove his innocence with the imperial concubine.

Everyone was stunned.
