Weird Regulator

Ji Li walked all the way inside. Although he did not lift the curtain to peek like Gao Mingjie, he was listening to the game sounds and the performance of the players in each compartment.

The reason why he came here with a clear purpose was because Cheng Ming had mentioned this game to him before - "Kill the Demon".

A few years ago, Cheng Ming played this game when he came here for tourism.

Simply put, "Kill the Demon" is a level-breaking game.

Electronic demons and game players sat in front and behind a table, and the props for players to break through the levels were a toy shotgun.

In each level, players will face different demons, and find out their weaknesses through their performance, so as to buy bullets with corresponding attributes, and kill them to go to the next level, and so on.

Players who refresh existing records or pass the level directly will receive the final reward of this game.

According to Cheng Ming, he only fought 4 demons in his first play.

Even if it took one night, he finally stopped at the sixth level, and the highest record holder only reached the eighth level.

The reason why the game is so difficult is that in addition to the difficulty of finding the demon's weakness in the later levels, there is also a problem of gold coins for buying bullets.

At the beginning of each level, the system will automatically give 1 gold coin in the game, and the reward for killing the demon is 2 gold coins.

This is the fixed gold coin income of the player, but the bullets that need to be purchased are of different prices, and some even require four gold coins.

Therefore, one of the difficulties of this game is that it is necessary to reasonably manage the gold coin inventory. The waste of gold coins in one level may lead to the defeat of the subsequent levels.

Gao Mingjie was frightened. He heard many ghost screams from the electronic screen, and also heard the abuse or roars from the players.

But he knew very well that if he played this game, it would definitely not be as simple as a game.

Demons are real demons, and death is real death.

"Store... Store Manager, are we all going to play this game?"

He really couldn't help it, and finally had to ask this question.

But Gao Mingjie's worries were obviously unnecessary. Ji Li seemed to have observed enough, so he opened an empty room, entered it and sat at the table.

"Just stand beside me and watch. I will call you if I need you."

This game is almost entirely mental calculation, which is a natural choice for the clerk.

Ji Li will not waste Hongfu's luck, nor will he let Gao Mingjie waste gold coins. He will do it himself.

As for why he rushed here so eagerly, there was another reason.

"Hongfu, is thirty gold coins enough for you?"

Before the game started, Ji Li found thirty gold coins from the gold bag, handed them to Hongfu and asked.

Hongfu grinned and immediately made a promise, confidently saying:

"It's called an indoor game area, but it's actually no different from the game hall I played when I was a child.

Along the way, I have scanned several old games that I was familiar with at the time, and they are all good ways to 'make money'."

Hongfu, who is blessed with great fortune, is like a fish in water when he comes here. The total commission of the seventh branch ranks second, second only to the first branch.

But this advantage is fleeting. Ji Li can imagine that those branches that go to outdoor projects and large projects will get more generous rewards once they win.

Therefore, Hongfu's luck must be cashed in as soon as possible.

If it's a little later, I'm afraid that this place will be targeted by some people.

Ji Li secretly complained in his heart: "Indoor game area, a cashing place with huge loopholes, time must be fast."

Hongfu left and the game started.

...

In the compartment, it was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Two faint panting sounds were like a pair of hunters searching in the dark, trying to catch the weakness of the devil in the vastness.

But I don't know since when, there seemed to be a breath that shouldn't exist in the darkness.

The breath was cold and damp, adding a breath of moisture to the dry environment, causing a touch of water drops to appear on the faces of the two breathing living people unconsciously.

Suddenly!

Someone's mouth and nose were pressed tightly by a pair of wet and sticky palms, which suppressed his breathing and accelerated his heartbeat.

This extremely depressing environment and visually repressive scene had little effect on this person, because his heart was not his heart.

On the contrary, he used the skin on his face to sense the two hands in reverse, which were extremely smooth, as if they had been soaked in water for a long time...

"Zizizizi!"

Half a minute of darkness was about to torture the other person in the room to a mental breakdown, but the electronic screen in front began to make an extremely harsh noise.

This was a sign that the game was about to be officially launched.

"Shua!"

The screen was completely lit up, with four pale words on it - "Kill the Devil", and a red mark in the upper right corner: "Level 1".

At the same time, the person whose mouth and nose were blocked only felt that his face was scratched by something very rough, which was slightly stinging.

The light source came from the front.

A swollen and mutated head, staring at a swollen, pale ghost face, appeared in the center of the screen, staring at the person in front with a pair of bloodshot and bulging eyes.

...

Five gold coins rolled into the machine along the switch box on the table.

Below the ghost face, a white box appeared, which read: "Player 17773, start the level."

Ji Li sat at the table in a very relaxed posture, staring at the ghost face on the screen, which was the only one on the screen, and slowly lit a cigarette.

After what happened just now, Gao Mingjie had collapsed a little, but he was still calm and did not shout.

It took about a minute for him to start watching the information on the screen from a non-player's perspective.

The swollen ghost face occupied three-quarters of the screen, blinking and breathing, but the face was extremely terrifying, as if waiting for the player's failure.

At the same time, there was a gold coin pattern in the upper right corner, with the suffix "1".

This is the first level, the basic gold coins prepared for Ji Li, a new player, to buy bullets.

Although Gao Mingjie did not play, he was more eager and aimed his eyes at the table.

A low-quality plastic toy gun was placed on the left, and there were two rows of buttons on the right.

Among them, three buttons in the first row were lit, marked as:

"Lighter", "Scissors", "Salvage Tube".

In addition to these three, some of the button props behind were gray, which means that they cannot be purchased with the existing gold coins.

"Clues, hints..."

Gao Mingjie recalled the performance of the ghost face in the past half a minute, trying to use his brain to think out the opponent's weaknesses, so as to buy the corresponding bullets and kill him.

These three props are actually used to empower the bullets. As long as the corresponding restraining props are selected, it can be killed directly with a gun.

Gao Mingjie can think of this, but he really can't think of what the weakness of this ghost is.

And Ji Li is also thinking in his heart, but there are a lot of angles to consider.

Because this first level is not the same as what Cheng Ming described to him at the beginning.

When traveling before, Cheng Ming's first level was a very simple blood-dripping vampire without physical interaction.

But obviously, due to Ji Li's identity as a clerk, the game has undergone a lot of changes. Not only has there been more supernatural physical interactions, but even the ghosts have been changed.

However, although the order of the ghosts has changed, this ghost is not unfamiliar. According to Cheng Ming, it should have been the ghost of the seventh level before.

That is, the last ghost Cheng Ming saw, but there was no final obstacle to passing it.

The ghost in the seventh level was moved to the first level, which shows that for the store clerks, the difficulty of the game has been separated from reality.

Ji Li only has one gold coin, and he has to choose one of the three props.

This situation is obviously also deepening the difficulty, because Cheng Ming said that at that time, he could actually unlock 8 props.

At this moment, Gao Mingjie also came up with an idea while thinking on the side. Seeing Ji Li hesitant, he tentatively said: "Manager, I felt the moisture in the dark just now, and it has a swollen face. Is it possible that it is a drowned ghost?"

A very simple idea, but extremely reasonable, even Cheng Ming thought so at the time.

Indeed.

Through various performances, the evidence that it is a drowned ghost is very sufficient.

So if based on this point, its weakness should be the opposite of the concept of "drowning".

Gao Mingjie's attitude is clear. If he chooses, it should be "lighter".

This choice is similar to Cheng Ming's choice at the beginning. At that time, he chose the "flamethrower" purchased with 2 gold coins.

But the ending is failure.

Of course, this is not a reason not to choose a lighter.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Li slowly moved the hand holding the cigarette to the button of the "fishing tube".

Gao Mingjie was breathing hard and found that the ghost face on the screen seemed to show an urgent expression. He was shocked.

"Could it be..."

But then, Ji Li suddenly took action and pressed the button, but he finally pressed "scissors".

Before Gao Mingjie could react, Ji Li directly picked up the toy shotgun and shot at the screen.

Unexpectedly, the ghost face on the screen was like being shot. The whole face trembled violently, and pieces of flesh fell off the face.

The ghost face also slowly retreated when it was shot, and finally revealed its complete ghost body.

A naked and smooth female corpse, with swollen and white skin, looked like a drowned ghost.

But Gao Mingjie was surprised to find that the ghost girl's wrists and ankles were tied with thick hemp ropes, including her neck, which was also tied with a thumb-thick hemp rope.

From then on, Gao Mingjie realized that the ghost girl was not drowned, but a strangled ghost who was strangled to death and then sank into the river!

He looked at Ji Li in shock, with a complicated look like looking at a monster, because he couldn't think of why Ji Li could think of this.

Including, how could scissors restrain this strangled ghost?

But then, what Ji Li did shocked him to the extreme.

On the first level settlement page, Ji Li first looked at the player's ranking list, and after looking at the name of the first record holder for a while, he took out a pistol from his arms.

This gun is not a toy gun.

Ji Li held the gun and looked at the stunned Gao Mingjie, and said coldly:

"This is a LAN game, and the player rankings can be adjusted by themselves.

Go find the game administrator, I want him to delete all records except mine."

Gao Mingjie was stunned, his brain buzzing.

"Delete all records... only Ji Li is left... then he only needs the first level to become the highest record..."

At this moment, he finally realized what a genius is.
