The Terrifying Power of the Curse, and the Arrival of a New Event!

Gao Linzhi can currently only activate Advanced Inspiration, and can only see a small portion of the content within the light.

One of the bright lights revealed a top-tier restaurant, brightly lit and extremely luxurious.

At this very moment.

A person with an indistinct face is eating alone.

The table in front of me was covered with all sorts of live animals and sashimi.

The tuna's mouth is still opening and closing.

The big crab was still waving its claws.

Giant Octopus with eight tentacles wriggling.

The man came up, grabbed the wriggling Giant Octopus, and bit down hard on its delicate head.

The octopus struggled in pain.

He burst into laughter.

The more you struggle, the happier I am to eat.

He simply swallowed the entire octopus whole.

He likes this feeling.

Using its strong teeth, it vigorously crushed and ate these small creatures, bite by bite.

Unfortunately, it's not human.

Yes, his name is "Ya Zi", but he actually wanted to be named "Taotie", but that name was already taken by someone else.

He frantically devoured the poor octopus.

And he was swallowing the octopus whole into his esophagus.

Suddenly, the octopus's two tentacles seemed to have formed a cooperative partnership by accident.

They forcefully pried open the closed cartilage of the Ya Zi's trachea inside the other's throat.

The trachea and esophagus share a common pharyngeal passage.

When a person swallows, there is an epiglottis above the trachea that automatically closes the trachea downwards.

And now, while he was chewing, the octopus's two tentacles pried open the cartilage and burrowed inside.

Most of an octopus's nerves are located on its tentacles.

At that moment, the two tentacles, like moving snakes, forcefully burrowed into the trachea.

"Ah!"

Ya Zi immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.

He reached out and pulled the octopus out of its mouth, but both tentacles broke off.

It's still drilling into the trachea.

He coughed desperately.

A severe cough.

However, it was to no avail.

These tentacles are alive, and they even have suction cups; they'll only burrow deeper and deeper.

Before long, he felt a sense of suffocation.

But he immediately held his breath, picked up his phone, and started sending text messages.

Before long, a group of doctors rushed over, isolated the crowd, and began performing surgery on the spot.

They cut

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi immediately understood.

The other party has a very high physical condition.

They won't die from holding their breath for a few minutes.

Even if the octopus tentacles burrowed into the lungs, it wouldn't cause much of a problem, just a lot of discomfort.

After several minutes of surgery, the doctor used an electric drill to open his throat, then dripped in a special drug to paralyze the octopus's wriggling tentacles.

Only then was it removed.

After removal, suturing begins immediately.

As a result, suturing also became a problem.

"No need for stitches, I'll just take some blood-thinning medication."

The "Ya Zi" spoke, but its voice was very muffled.

He stood up and asked the doctor to align the opening in his throat.

Then he drank a bottle of Red Potion.

Before long, the opening in his throat healed on its own.

The doctor was immediately shocked.

"What, what is this?"

"Hehe, the latest cutting-edge technology, a lab product."

Clearly, the doctor also didn't know about the game.

The doctors then left, filled with immense curiosity.

"I never knew such technology existed."

"It should stimulate cell division to quickly heal the wound, but this is too fast."

"Even a lizard's regenerative abilities aren't that fast."

"Yes, it's incredible."

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi couldn't help but shake his head.

As expected, the effectiveness of a curse depends on the strength of the opponent.

This kind of misfortune, if it happened to an ordinary person, would almost certainly mean death.

Because by the time the doctor arrived, he had basically suffocated.

The player's powerful physique naturally allows them to resist the octopus.

Unfortunately, he didn't see this person suffocate to death.

However, if this guy continues to court death, he'll eat another live creature next time.

That living thing is drilling into his brain; let's see how he can resist then.

Unless his physique is strong enough to protect even his brain.

He then looked at the second bright light.

The person was playing a game.

The player, whose ID was "United Association *Chaofeng" above their head, was fighting a boss. They could have killed it normally, but in the last few dozen hits, they kept missing.

The consequence is that your health drops rapidly.

Terrified, he turned and ran, frantically gulping down the medicine.

"Damn it, if I'd known, I shouldn't have handed over the island's first Revival Stone reward last time."

"They talk about unified allocation, but it's all just for those with connections!"

"Damn it, if this keeps up, I'm going to follow that Canxue and rebel!"

"Sure enough, you can't get by in this organization without connections. It's better to be a lone wolf; at least you keep all the loot."

Seeing this, Gao Linzhi finally felt a little relieved. At least he had planted a thorn in the side's side.

He then looked at the third bright spot.

"The United Association * Suanni," the other party is currently in the real world, attending a banquet.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, the dazzling lights, and the comings and goings of beautiful women and handsome men, a vibrant atmosphere prevails.

An old man stood there, raising his glass, and clinked glasses with the other person.

The next moment, both of them were poisoned.

However, "The United Association * Suanni" recovered quickly and took one pill, then gave another one to the old man.

However, the old man still stared wide-eyed, looking up at the sky.

"Mr. Wu, what's wrong?" A group of people gathered around.

"Oh no, it's poisoning!"

"Based on my observation, you're the one who poisoned me!" A little boy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere pointed at "The United Association * Suanni" and whispered, "If you don't want me to produce evidence, give me 20 kilograms of gold."

"Sorry, I just finished Medicine Making in the game and forgot to wash my hands," the "United Association * Suanni" said with a look of shame.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that he didn't intend to apologize.

It's like saying, "You died because you were too weak, it has nothing to do with me."

It's like when everyone's drinking together, and you die from drinking. I bear some responsibility, but not much.

"What a pity!" At this moment, passersby gathered around.

"Sigh, it's all because Mr. Wu was too greedy!"

"That's right. If Mr. Wu had used a Game Poster to become a gamer earlier, he wouldn't have died."

"Then why didn't he use the Game Poster to become a game player?" someone wondered.

"The reason is simple: each person can only activate their game account once, and once activated, it's for life," someone explained.

"Mr. Wu has always been a perfectionist; he wanted to get a Game Poster with a very high serial number."

"I heard he set his sights on that Canxue target, paying a large sum of money to reserve a spot; he's trying to acquire a golden talent."

"Good heavens, that's really greedy."

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi couldn't help but sneer.

I see.

It seems the Dragon Fruit divination went slightly wrong.

But the curse was reversed at the moment of its execution.

Now this guy is dead because of his greed.

Many people in positions of power are like this; they are not stupid, but they are too greedy.

Earning 100 million wasn't enough; they wanted to earn 1 billion or 10 billion, and eventually went bankrupt.

Can you call them stupid?

They died simply because of their own greed.

If he had become a gamer earlier, those Poisons certainly wouldn't have been able to kill him.

Even if you kill him, given his status, he would have Revival Stone available.

Many of the valuable items in the game now only affect the player.

Players can become very strong in a short period of time, at least enough to withstand poison.

"What a pity. If he had held on for just three more seconds, I could have cured him," Suanni said, shaking his head.

"Hmph, you clearly killed this person, you have to pay compensation!" the little boy said, pointing at him.

"Get lost!" Suanni kicked the other person away.

At that moment, a group of men in black entered the scene, covered the body with a white sheet, and then carried it away.

During the banquet, many important figures frowned.

"It seems we can't wait any longer."

"Yes, he died so suddenly and inexplicably. Among us, Mr. Wu's wealth would easily place him in the top ten!"

"What a pity, all gone in an instant."

"He brought this on himself. If he was going to wait, he should have stayed home and waited, instead of coming out to eat, drink, and have fun."

"In short, hurry back and find a game qualification with a high number so you can become a player as soon as possible."

"That's right."

In a short time, the huge banquet came to a swift end.

When Mr. Wu's family rushed over, the place was already deserted.

The body, the murderer, and the passersby have all vanished.

Gao Linzhi thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

In such a short time, a big shot who was previously only seen on television and the internet died.

He died just as hastily as an ordinary person.

Like a monarch who drowned in a latrine, leaving one speechless.

Indeed, the poor people's sense of ease comes from the fact that the rich will also die just like them.

But that won't work in the future.

The game contains many methods for Immortality.

Seeing this, Gao Linzhi finally felt a great deal of relief.

However, he realized that he needed to become stronger.

Now that I think about it, getting Gold Quality talent definitely needs to be put on the agenda.

Aside from his one Dark Gold Talent, the highest of his other five talents is the purple, upgradable Chang Tian "Absolute Dodge," which is currently at the Master Level and has a 25% evasion chance.

This demonstrates that a talent of Gold Quality is absolutely formidable.

How do you find people with Gold Quality?

Gao Linzhi thought about it for himself, but had no idea.

It seems we still have to leave it to them.

So he called over a few people, including Wuliao.

How do I find someone with Gold Quality talent?

The Puppet Best shook its head and said, "I can't see people clearly, so I can't say."

"Most of the Gold Quality players are elites, though there are also some who are content with ordinary lives." Bored, he thought carefully, "Bringing these people into the game won't be easy."

"Yes, they all have a lot of influence offline, and the key thing is that once you get in, it's very dangerous."

"It would be great if we could mass-produce players with the potential for gold-level talent," Xu Gou suggested.

"Is there any way?" Gao Linzhi asked.

"It can be done by modifying memories."

"No, modifying memories can only temporarily grant someone a certain ability, but it's not their inherent potential. Their mind and body don't support it." The Puppet Best directly rejected this shortcut.

Xu Gou thought about it for a moment, and realized that the Skill Stone and Talent Stone he had recently acquired were indeed of low quality.

Those participants who were put to the test, even with altered memories, could only pass the test; their actual potential was not high.

"It seems we still need to search for these talents offline," Gao Linzhi said thoughtfully.

"Yes, boss, there's a way to cancel your game account now, unlike before when people had to kill someone to cancel it," Qingcheng*Bored.

Gao Linzhi nodded. He had heard that it was possible to glitch through the game character login screen and then log out of the Game Character.

This is what a normal game should be like.

Remember, any organization that only allows entry but not exit is, needless to say, not a legitimate organization.

"Alright, you guys get back to your work."

Everyone left.

Gao Linzhi began organizing his skills again.

At this moment, a game notification appears.

"Ding! Respected Noble 23, a new event is coming soon!"

"Oh, great, another event!"

Gao Linzhi was very happy.

As expected, the ranking event has become a regular occurrence.

This is normal; this is a great opportunity to make money.

Many online games collaborate with other famous characters in order to make money.

He immediately read on.

"Sacrifice Event."

"After the Grand Voyage, new business opportunities will emerge."

"A new crisis will also emerge."

"For the safety of the villagers, the village must hold a grand sacrificial ceremony!"

"After the sacrificial ceremony, the village ancestral hall will have the opportunity to be upgraded."

"Players need to contribute sacrificial materials and upgrade materials; the more they provide, the higher the upgrade level of the village shrine."

"It will be able to protect more villagers and resist higher-level monsters!"

Gao Linzhi became excited upon seeing this.

"Island Ranking: First place reward includes 5 Shrine Spirit Tablet, 1 Revival Stone, 5 Free Attribute Points, and a number of materials."

Second place: Rewards include 1 Shrine Spirit Tablet, 1 Free Attribute Points, and some materials.

"..."

"Ten spirit tablets can be exchanged for the Island Master Title, which lasts for one month and can greatly increase the loyalty of the villagers."

"Overall Ranking: First Place Reward: Title: Lord of a Hundred Islands, lasting 30 days, capable of intimidating monsters below Blue Tier, and granted access to ten nearby islands. Rewards: 5 Revival Stone, 30 Free Attribute Points, and a quantity of materials."

Second place...

Upon seeing this, Gao Linzhi became even more excited.

It even has a title and can travel to nearby islands.

In this way, they can make a fortune.

Just as he was looking at it, Xu Gou suddenly knocked on the door and came in:

"What's up?"

"Boss, someone has contacted me urgently, wanting to buy the list at a high price. They'll try their best to accommodate your offer."

"Hehe, so they're tacitly acknowledging that I'll be on the list?" Gao Linzhi chuckled.

He wasn't surprised that others could also get the news quickly.

"Yes, of course they didn't mean to recommend you for admission, they just asked you not to aim too high on the list, just get second place." Xu Gou said nervously.

"Alright, what kind of compensation can they offer?"

"They can offer you all the top ranking rewards except for the game titles, and even double them."

"Free Attribute Points can be obtained too?"

"They obtained valuable Attribute Stone that can add Free Attribute Points, but a player character can only use a maximum of 100 points."

"Indeed impressive." Gao Linzhi felt a chill run down his spine.

Those guys' power and resources are truly unfathomable.
