This task is clearly a team effort.
Players need to divide their roles and collaborate.
Those with more teammates will undoubtedly have the advantage!
Watching Xie Tengfei's confident demeanor, Lin Xun exchanged a glance with Lu Ming.
Taking advantage of the distraction caused by Ghost Madam's Attract, the two slipped to the back of the crowd.
Everyone was drawn in by Ren Tou's Attract, leaving the rear of the crowd as a blind spot.
Lin Xun whispered to Lu Ming, "This task clearly favors Xie Tengfei."
Lu Ming peered over the surging crowd and caught sight of Xie Tengfei's somewhat proud face. "No wonder he chose to team up right from the start."
Lin Xun cautioned, "Be careful around him; don’t trust him too much."
Lu Ming replied, "I never trusted him from the beginning."
"So what does he mean to you? I can bet he’s not a teammate."
"In this game, you don’t need teammates; you need stepping stones."
Upon hearing Lu Ming's response, Lin Xun displayed a puzzled smile.
"What do you need me to do?" Lu Ming asked.
At that moment, Lin Xun noticed that Lu Ming was no longer wearing a ring on his finger.
“Delay his task progress!” Lin Xun said.
Lin Xun and Lu Ming returned to their respective positions.
No one noticed the transaction between them.
[The exchange of two scheming boys!]
[Why does Lin Xun have such deep hostility towards Xie Tengfei?]
[With a Killer by your side, are you scared or not?]
[I always feel that Lu Ming is not simple!]
[Wow, you’re so smart! I noticed Lu Ming was extraordinary right from the start!]
[Stop being so sarcastic! Which Game are you from? Do you dare to step up and fight?]
[Quiet down! Let’s focus on the Live Broadcast; harmony brings wealth!]
The crowd dispersed, each searching for clues.
Lin Xun took Hua Tian to the backyard Small House.
Upon reaching the door of the Small House, they heard a dull chopping sound coming from within.
The Ghost Chef was chopping meat while complaining, “After being an NPC for so many years, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a peculiar situation. What do you mean by Three-No-Stick? You look like a Three-No-Stick to me! You’re making me lose face in front of the newcomers! I’m going to lose popularity again in the next Gold Medal Employee selection!”
Lin Xun pushed the door open and politely said to the Ghost Chef, “Then I’ll order stuffed bean sprouts next time?”
The knife of the Ghost Chef sliced through the air with a whoosh, narrowly missing Lin Xun's ear.
Fortunately, Lin Xun reacted quickly; otherwise, he would have lost an ear.
The Ghost Chef's blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Xun. "You dare to come here?"
Hua Tian tightly gripped Lin Xun's sleeve, signaling him to leave.
Lin Xun remained calm and said, "Xie Ruyi has been dismembered! I suspect it was you who did it!"
I did it?
Is that part of the script?
How come I didn't know about this?
The Ghost Chef immediately grew anxious. "Don't talk nonsense!"
He was merely a supporting character in the script, while Xie Ruyi was the main character.
There was no interaction between them at all.
How could he be accused of dismembering Xie Ruyi?
"It's very difficult for an ordinary person to dismember a body. It often takes a long time, and who would carry a knife around with them?"
The implication was clear: the Ghost Chef was an expert at dismemberment and likely had a knife on hand, making him a prime suspect in Xie Ruyi's murder!
"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Has your kitchen knife decreased in number?" Lin Xun asked again.
Ghost Chef was taken aback.
Wait a minute, asking about the kitchen knife is part of the plot after completing the dismemberment task.
What’s up with this player…
How did they skip ahead in the story…
"Not for now," Ghost Chef replied hesitantly.
Not for now?
"So that means it will definitely decrease later?"
Help, should he answer or not?
If the player had asked this after completing the search for the body parts, he would have to respond, but the plot point hadn’t arrived yet. How could he answer?
As Ghost Chef hesitated, a Black Crack suddenly appeared behind him!
A massive Black Right Hand seized Ghost Chef tightly and pulled him into the crack.
The tear in space vanished in an instant.
Inside the Small House, the Head of the Group stared in shock at everything unfolding.
"Damn it, not again!"
Lin Xun couldn't help but complain.
He was now almost certain that the enormous hand belonged to the administrator of the Game.
The appearance of the dark hand signified that a bug needed to be fixed!
Ghost Chef had vanished, so who could they ask about it?
After exchanging a glance with Hua Tian, his gaze shifted back to Ren Tou.
"Do you guys know anything?"
The Ren Tous shook their heads vigorously!
They were just ordinary, unremarkable Ren Tous.
They couldn't speak!
They knew nothing at all!
Hua Tian understood that Lin Xun had always been someone who didn't play by the rules.
But this was pushing it too far...
What was going on?
Was it because the plot had progressed too quickly, leading to a System bug, and the System forcibly taking NPCs away to eliminate the bug?
This was already the second time, wasn't it...?
The first time was because he had pulled out a pair of pants, which caused the Oiran Ghost to go berserk...
Watching the Ghost Chef disappear, Lin Xun felt a bit lost.
"Forget it, let's tackle the Side Quest first."
"Side Quest? Did you pick up another Side Quest?"
Lin Xun nodded and then walked into the Ghost Chef's Small House. After navigating through countless bones and chunks of flesh, he found the Ghost Chef's Small Vault inside a shoebox where the Ghost Chef kept his shoes.
He then pocketed the small gray pouch.
"Can we just take NPCs' things like that?"
Isn't that against the rules?
"In this Game, an NPC has its own domain. Once an NPC disappears from that domain, anything within it becomes unowned."
He had already verified this statement in the Cowherd's room.
【No wonder the pouch he took out was embroidered with a cow symbol.】
【Isn't this kind of robbery considered a violation?】
【Isn't this stealing?】
Lin Xun smiled slightly.
"And besides, I am currently on a mission. Xiao Yu asked me to gather a thousand taels of silver within three days. If the rules really think I am in the wrong, then the one who should be punished is Xiao Yu, not me, because I am being forced!"
In a distant room, Xiao Yu was busy crafting a voodoo doll when, out of nowhere, she sneezed.
“Is someone talking about me? Damn it!”
With that, she jabbed the doll in front of her with two more needles.
【89757, please report to the BOSS room.】
“Me? The BOSS room? Why?” Xiao Yu, or rather 89757, set down the cloth doll, her face filled with confusion.
Logically, no other NPCs were allowed in the BOSS room.
【The BOSS has repeatedly attempted to leave the BOSS room. To prevent the BOSS from escaping and disrupting Game, System has decided to change the BOSS candidate.】
Am I going to become the BOSS?
Excitement flooded Xiao Yu’s face.
Just recently recognized as an outstanding employee, she was now being given the chance to become the Dungeon Boss. It was incredibly lucky!
Typically, outstanding employees had to undergo three evaluations before they could even dream of becoming a Dungeon Boss.
This time, it was unclear what had happened with the current Dungeon Boss. She seemed so uncommitted, always trying to leave the BOSS room.
Yet it was precisely because of her reckless actions that Xiao Yu found herself with this opportunity.
Xiao Yu closed her eyes.
The excitement that once lit up her face suddenly vanished.
After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes.
She shook her hands and feet to adjust to her body, then picked up the stuffed toy that had been placed on the table.
With a disdainful glance, she tossed the toy into the nearby trash bin...
...
Lin Xun took out all the silver from the space.
Looking at the pink pouch embroidered with a cow, Hua Tian suddenly understood why Lin Xun had money to pay Ghost Chef...
Including Ghost Chef's private stash, there was a total of 520 taels.
"Wow, being a Cowherd makes so much money, while being a chef is so poor..." Lin Xun complained.
Where would the remaining 480 taels come from?
[You took someone else's money and still complain about their poverty; you really are a jerk...]
[Player, do you know how to write the word 'shameless'?]
[Key point: Being a chef doesn't make money! Suggesting chefs switch careers to become Cowherds!]
