Chapter 73 - 73 70 3 Million Bounty

73: Chapter 70: 3 Million Bounty 73: Chapter 70: 3 Million Bounty “Shit, no, nooo!” I Don’t Eat Beef was screaming hysterically, but there was nothing he could do, watching as his body was turned into a bloody mess under the gnawing of wild dogs. The screen turned blood red, and the word “DEAD” was written in large font. [System Prompt: You are dead!] The screen in front of him turned into a bloody image, I Don’t Eat Beef watched as his body was torn apart by wild dogs, completely numb. He had known there was a good chance that the other party wouldn’t let him go, but for that slight chance of survival, he had to gamble, betting that the other party wouldn’t go to the extremes. However, it was clear that he had lost the bet. “Fuck your mother, Ximen Wuhen!” he cursed at the screen, but unfortunately, it was of no use; he couldn’t even make the other party hear his voice. I Don’t Eat Beef, furious, stood up, his whole body trembling. Although he didn’t know how the game’s death translated into reality, it was obvious that he was done for. The thought that he could be so bewitched as to die over a game made I Don’t Eat Beef so furious he couldn’t contain it. “You dare mess with me, Ximen Wuhen, I will make sure you’re dead, you fucking wait!” He paced around the room, but had no idea where to start; he didn’t even have the other party’s contact information, how was he supposed to kill him? This guy was too damn cunning, was he really going to die like this? No, that couldn’t be right, maybe it wasn’t true, dying in the game and then dying in reality, how could such outrageous things be true? He talked to himself, recalling more clearly the game’s introduction he had seen when he obtained the activation code. His expression suddenly became desolate again. Was he really going to die today? Suddenly an idea struck him; right, he had Wang Kai’s WeChat ID. He hurriedly made a video call. The screen showed the face of a naive middle-aged man. “Look buddy, what’s the meaning of this? I already told you, the deal’s done with no offline transactions.” “I’m dead!” I Don’t Eat Beef got straight to the point. Wang Kai was startled, “What? Man, I warned you the monsters in this game are fierce, why didn’t you believe me?” “I was killed by Ximen Wuhen.” “Well, take it easy, brother.” “Tell me, Wang Kai, does this game really kill people? Tell the truth, don’t lie to me.” “…I’m sorry.” I Don’t Eat Beef’s heart sank. He had so hoped that the other party had been deceiving him, that all he had been told before was just to fool him, but now he finally realized that he was truly done for. “I want that bastard dead, one million, kill Ximen Wuhen for me,” I Don’t Eat Beef gritted his teeth and said. Even if he died, he couldn’t let that bastard get off easily. The expression on Wang Kai’s side of the screen first showed interest, then he spoke with reluctance, “It’s not that I don’t want the money, brother, but what can a small level 1 character do to kill anyone?” “Two million, I don’t care how you do it, level up yourself or hire someone, just agree, and two million is yours.” “I can hang up a bounty for you. This game has an assassin guild. With 200 silver taels, killing a level 10 or so character should attract many assassins and thieves to take the job, but let me clarify, it might take some time, I can’t go to the State Mansion in a short time, I need to wait for the caravan to pass.” “Three million, get him within a week!” Finally, Wang Kai couldn’t resist anymore and, after a serious consideration, he agreed, “Alright, three million, within a week I promise to take him down, I’ll send someone right away. Just relax, brother, but you have to pay me first.” “Alright, I’m trusting you this one time, brother, I can tell you’re a reliable person, don’t let me die with regrets!” I Don’t Eat Beef was not sure how reliable Wang Kai truly was, but he had no other options left. He didn’t have much time left. He transferred the money right away. “What advice do you have for my situation?” “Hurry up and make a will. If you have anything to say to your children and family, do it quickly. Although death from the game comes within 24 hours, sometimes it could happen within an hour or two.” “I understand, everything is in your hands now, old pal.” I Don’t Eat Beef hung up the phone, looking bewilderedly at the empty room. Ever since he had money, he had divorced, and his two children were studying abroad, not by his side. He was utterly alone, and before death, he didn’t even have someone to talk to. Maybe the other party was really deceiving him? He thought, not without a sense of wishful thinking. He took out a fifty-year-old bottle of Maotai from his liquor cabinet. He downed it in one gulp. Good liquor, damn, it’s truly excellent! Right, the will. He quickly picked up pen and paper and started writing, but staring at the blank page, he didn’t know what to write. Everyone is going to die, what’s the use of saying more? He picked up the card, wanting to cry but with no tears, cursing this damned ghost game. He had thought he would soar to the skies, but it turned out he was doomed to eternity in hell. Woof! A dog’s bark startled him, and he quickly turned around, but there was nothing behind him, only the empty room. For some reason, the light in the room seemed dimmer, though it was clearly morning and everything was shrouded in grey. Woof woof! The piercing barks got closer, sending shivers down his spine. It’s over, the time has come! I Don’t Eat Beef felt a surge of despair, instinctively backing away, then suddenly remembering something, he crushed the card in his hand. He couldn’t let his family see this ghostly thing. The next second, intense pain suddenly shot through his arm as if an invisible beast was biting him. Get off me! He yelled, flailing his arms trying to shake off the unseen enemy, but the intangible beast was unblockable and kept biting, again and again! Tearing at his flesh incessantly. Consumed by fear and despair, I Don’t Eat Beef flailed his arms in vain as wounds from invisible bites materialized on his body, blood gushing out, and in a blink of an eye, he collapsed on the floor… Finally, the room fell silent, leaving only the gnawed, unrecognizable corpse quietly lying there. —————— Xiao Jie dragged the mouse, forcefully throwing the pig feed into the pig crowd, watching a few pigs rush over and devour the feed, a happy icon popping up above them and he breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first day trying to feed pigs, and for this, he had specifically looked up how to feed pigs online. However, he soon realized that feeding pigs in the game was entirely different from reality; it was like a mini-game of throwing pig feed. Players needed to throw the feed into the pigpen. Pigs near the landing spot of the feed would swarm over it, and if he threw the feed too closely together, some pigs couldn’t get to it, while others ate too much, ultimately leading to a failed feeding attempt. There were 50 dollops of pig feed to throw in a single game, each dollop allowing the pigs to munch 6 times, and each pig needed to eat 5 times to be full. Ensuring all 50 pigs were satisfied was somewhat challenging. Luckily, Xiao Jie knew the Beast Language Skill. Each time a pig was full, he would call it out, letting the remaining pigs continue eating, making it much easier to pass the level. Of course, he also had to threaten those disobedient pigs occasionally, like threatening to turn them into ham and bacon and feed them to the dogs. It was pretty effective. [System Prompt: Through the long-term process of [Feeding Pigs], you have gradually mastered the ability to attract wild animals by throwing food and gained the skill [Beast Temptation]. [System Prompt: Due to your prolonged contact with ‘pig’ type creatures, your [Beast Knowledge] skill has been updated with new content.] Finally comprehending it, Xiao Jie hurriedly opened the skill bar to check it. [Beast Temptation (Life Skill) Usage: Throw food on the ground to attract nearby wild animals. The temptation effect depends on the type and level of the food. Skill Description: Beasts are dumb creatures with low intelligence. Their craving for food makes them easy to tempt, and throwing food on the ground will naturally attract those greedy predators.] This skill could be useful, especially for hunting. He could use it to set bait and attract wild animals, setting up an ambush and the like. Too bad half a day of feeding pigs didn’t lead to Satori; it seems that achieving Satori isn’t that easy.
