Lu Shi stopped drawing the array and jumped into the deep sea without hesitation.
When he found the great white shark that was aimlessly roaming the seabed, Lu Shi fearlessly charged towards it.
He enlarged his body, and kept enlarging it, until he was the same size as a great white shark.
He then embraced the great white shark and, in the deep sea, gave it a long kiss.
Once he regained consciousness, Ye Bugui ended his skill without hesitation, and the two returned to the amusement park.
At this moment, the others were still in their terracotta warrior form, looking at the two of them with confusion, clearly unaware of what had just happened in the black mist.
They never imagined that the once arrogant witch would now be lying on the ground, dead.
Black Scorpion also died, but she was probably killed by the witch in the previous instance.
"What do you plan to do next?" Ye Bugui walked to Lu Shi's side, gently licking his lips. Besides the saltiness of the sea, there was also the taste of Lu Shi. "Whatever you do, I will support your decision."
Lu Shi laughed: "I won't do anything. My intention was just to intimidate them. Now, let's release them."
"Aren't you afraid of them, or do they want to continue targeting you?" Ye Bugui asked.
"I'm not afraid." Lu Shi shook his head: "They can't hurt me. But if they foolishly hurt you, I won't forgive them either."
After speaking, Lu Shi snapped his fingers, and all the terracotta warriors instantly cracked open, and the people inside regained their vitality.
Just as Lu Shi had guessed, the group of people looked at him with fear in their eyes.
They will fear themselves, distance themselves from themselves, and will not unite against themselves until a leader is appointed.
Because they now fully understand how insignificant their power is in front of Lu Shi.
As for how they cursed and hated him in their hearts, Lu Shi didn't really care anymore.
"let's go!"
As expected, most players chose to run away. More than resisting, they were now afraid of being purged by Lu Shi.
Only Modi walked over with a smile. He looked at Lu Shi with surprise and gave him a thumbs up.
"As expected, you were holding back when you were playing with us. You're the one who will win this game."
Lu Shi was somewhat surprised; he had thought Modi would distance himself from him.
However, Lu Shi was still very happy that another person who wasn't afraid of him had appeared:
"You mean the God-Chosen instance? I don't think it's that simple. I'm not strong enough to override the rules."
“That’s true.” Modi nodded. “But your last move was so cool, turning everyone into terracotta warriors. No wonder you’re the Demon Lord.”
Ye Bugui smiled and walked to Lu Shi's side: "Thank you for your concern. But he's a bit tired today, so I'll take him back to rest."
As he spoke, Ye Bugui naturally took Lu Shi's hand, as if to assert his sovereignty.
Modi understood Ye Bugui's intention and immediately backed down, saying, "Of course, I wish you a long and happy marriage."
A note from the author:
Thank you so much for your support! I will continue to work hard!
Chapter 103
☪ A Curse Invading Reality
The holiday event has ended ahead of schedule.
This unexpected incident was ultimately characterized by the system as follows:
bug.
And Lu Shi...
The holiday event has ended ahead of schedule.
This unexpected incident was ultimately characterized by the system as follows:
bug.
Lu Shi and Ye Bugui's five-person team, as the ones who cleared the bug, earned a huge amount of points.
They are undoubtedly the biggest winners of the holiday event.
As beneficiaries of the existing system, they quickly became seen as official shills by a small group of conspiracy theorists.
"Honestly, I now suspect that the witches were deliberately designed by the system. It was just to allow Lu Shi to gain a lot of points in a natural way."
"That's right, did you see the list? He and Ye Bugui are both in the top ten! What does this mean? It means that as long as nothing unexpected happens in the next month, they can be guaranteed a spot in the God's Chosen instance!"
"What are we fighting tooth and nail to survive in this game? Isn't it all for winning the Chosen One dungeon and getting a chance to make a wish? But now, they're telling us the spots are predetermined! It's so frustrating!"
"What should we do then? Should we just give up? In reality, giving up might just mean getting fired! But here, giving up means we'll just die!"
"Oh well, whatever. Humanity only has a month left anyway. Believe it or not, the first thing that Demon Lord will do after clearing the Chosen One instance is to turn our world into his backyard!"
These comments flooded the player forums, constantly stirring up players' emotions and making their impression of Lu Shi worse and worse.
However, given that Lu Shi's strength is simply too overwhelming, netizens with self-awareness can only vent their frustrations on the forum.
When they encountered Lu Shi in the game, they still acted as if they were avoiding a plague.
"Ignore those people." Having cleared another new dungeon, Ye Bugui felt himself getting stronger and stronger.
Especially his physical abilities; even without the aid of props, some minor bosses cannot defeat him in hand-to-hand combat.
Lu Shi nodded, and judging from his expression, he seemed to genuinely not take those people's words to heart.
“I know.” Lu Shi paused, then added, “You don’t need to worry about me. I can’t break down because of what those people said. I’m not that fragile!”
Ye Bugui on the other side immediately laughed: "Of course I know, we're overjoyed! After all, the God-Chosen Dungeon is already beckoning us."
Lu Shi smiled, a rare occurrence, when this was mentioned.
"I have already thought about my last wish."
“Let me guess,” Ye Bugui said, walking behind Lu Shi with his hands behind his back. He whispered in Lu Shi’s ear, “It’s not about saving all of humanity, is it? Let me tell you first, the more outrageous the wish, the higher the price you have to pay.”
"I know." Lu Shi nodded calmly. "I will do what I can."
Not far away, the members of the Demon Lord's Fortress Guild watched as their guild leader and vice-leader stood at the dungeon exit, chatting and laughing. They were all too familiar with this scene.
"Their score is already far ahead, why don't they keep running the dungeon?" a new player asked.
"It seems to be collecting pollutants," Han Ran said softly, a noticeable scar on her face.
When she got closer, it became clear that her back was covered in wounds; she had just emerged from an S-rank dungeon.
Although Lu Shi and Ye Bugui did not force him to, Han Ran still hoped that he could enter the top ten and become a member of the God's Chosen instance.
“Contaminants…I think I’ve seen them on the forums before.” At this moment, a female player whispered, “Anyway, I’ve heard that there have been a lot of inexplicable supernatural events abroad recently.”
"Really?" Han Ran suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something. "But we've almost never heard of it in our country, right?"
Zeng Fugui patted his stomach and walked over, saying, "Just tell me straight. It was because they dealt with the pollutants that no supernatural events occurred."
"You guys don't know this, but the system is trying to invade our Earth through pollutants. I heard Lu Shen and Brother Ye analyze that this system is very likely some kind of mysterious alien force."
"Huh?" Many players had question marks on their faces. How did this get involved with aliens again?
"This alien force attempted to invade Earth, but it has not succeeded. It has only managed to create a breach. And this breach is the Infinite Wish Game that we are in."
Seeing the skeptical expressions on many players' faces, Han Ran cleared his throat and said, "It's true. Of course, don't tell anyone else."
"So, our guild leader isn't a bad person at all. He's actually a very good person who's been quietly working hard all along?" A player immediately became self-satisfied. "There's no need for that," Han Ran smiled and said, "Brother Lu really doesn't want you to mythologize him. Just treat him like an ordinary person. After all, he also has his own selfish motives."
At this point, they all looked over at the two people chatting and laughing, the air thick with the sweet smell of romance.
Everyone understood.
Everyone is filled with hope for the future and looks forward to the arrival of the God-Chosen instance.
...
December 23rd.
There's only one week left until the New Year.
Xiao Wang yawned, ate a hasty breakfast, and then ran wildly into the subway station.
The subway was as crowded as ever, and the office workers looked sleepy, their faces showing their weariness of life.
Xiao Wang thought to himself, "This is just another ordinary day."
As always, he used his physical advantage to squeeze into the innermost part of the carriage, at least finding a space where he could free up his hands to watch videos.
His Green River Video website promptly recommended a web movie that had just been released today.
"Horror movie?"
Xiao Wang scoffed. He knew all too well how bad the quality of domestic horror films was.
However, thinking that watching a funny horror movie early in the morning to refresh himself wouldn't be bad, Xiao Wang clicked on that movie.
"Malice," what a pretentious name.
However, after the video started playing, Xiao Wang's eardrums were suddenly stimulated.
He threw his phone down, squatted on the ground in agony, and covered his ears with his hands.
Just now, he heard a strange audio recording, which sounded like a group of people screaming.
"Hey, are you alright?" Someone nearby offered a helping hand to Xiao Wang.
"It's nothing." Xiao Wang shook his head, revealing a miserable smile. "It's just tinnitus, I've been too tired lately."
Xiao Wang was puzzled because he had already explained himself clearly, so why was the kind person on the other end still staring at him so intently?
It's as if I have something to say to myself.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Wang pointed to his face. "Is there something on my face?"
The man shook his head: "It's nothing."
Xiao Wang picked up his phone again, plugged in his earphones, and started watching a movie.
Just as he had guessed, it turned out to be another clichéd horror movie.
The story is once again sparked by a group of protagonists who love to court death. They run into a remote mountain village, where they disobey the villagers' warnings and break the seal on the evil god worshipped by the villagers.
