Exposed Players, the Battle for the Number-One Spot!

However, despite his imposing demeanor, Gao Linzhi still made an offer.

"Tell them that in addition to making up for the top spot reward, they must also kill those who threaten me."

"That's all."

"Yes, sir." Xu Gou immediately left.

Half a day later.

In the Official Built-in Group.

"Have you heard? That Canxue is willing to give up the top spot on the overall rankings for this Sacrifice Event?" Empty 2086 asked in surprise.

"How surprising! Doesn't he always come in first on the list? Why isn't he taking it this time? Is he unable to?" said "Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao."

"Haha, this is Sacrifice Event, which requires sacrificial materials and upgrade materials. It tests the strength of the forces. He has just risen to power. How many people does he have under his command? How many materials can he collect?" "Love Follows the Wind" said.

"Damn, Young Master Feng spoke up!"

"My son has finally come out. Where were you in seclusion before?" Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao.

"Screw it, I just finished the fourth stage of the main job questline and I'm about to advance to Expert Level!" Love Follows the Wind boasted.

"Damn, Expert Level profession requires level 55! Where are you going to fight monsters of such a high level?" Empty 2086 exclaimed in surprise.

"Heh, you're just bragging. What he calls 'immediately' is probably months, maybe even a year or two," said Riding the Wind to Beat Luo Shao.

"Damn, you're forcing me to take screenshots for you guys, huh? Screenshot. JPG." Love Follows the Wind said disdainfully.

[Level: 52]

[Spirit:**]

"Damn, if you're so capable, then don't censor it!"

"Exactly, they didn't even bother to censor everything, which still reveals their mental state is in the double digits, doesn't it?"

"Only a two-digit level of mental capacity? That's brain-dead!"

"Hahaha..."

For a moment, the group chat was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have posted!" Love Follows the Wind then went offline.

"This kid's level has skyrocketed so high, is he not planning to hold onto his Level Lock anymore?"

"Yeah, the level is too high. Even when fighting level 20 to 30 bosses, there are no loot drops."

"He's probably trying to climb the charts."

"Yes, the rankings are getting more and more frequent now. It hasn't been that long, and there's another Sacrifice Event."

"Have you noticed that the game's official team seems to be using us to do something? These activities are all connected."

"Yes, it started with siege activities, which were actually to test which villages had potential. Then came the Grand Voyage, which was to prepare for the future maritime trade of the dynasty. Now we have Sacrifice Event to upgrade the village ancestral halls."

"In short, it has the implication of establishing a base."

"Yeah, looks like we can't keep Level Lock 11 anymore. I'm still stuck at level 11."

"I was stuck at level 19, but I can't stay there any longer."

"Let them all break, the sooner they break, the sooner you can enjoy them."

"Damn, that's a clever thing to say."

"Salty, right?"

Level Lock are mostly for dealing with island bosses.

Because the level is too high, there is no experience or loot when fighting bosses.

And the resources produced by the BOSS on a daily basis are quite good.

Experience, materials, rare items, and precious items with an extremely low probability of appearing.

If the experience card is level 11, it means the island's boss is level 7 or higher.

If you're stuck at level 19, then you're targeting bosses that are level 15 or higher.

Generally speaking, once you're more than 4 levels above a boss or monster, you'll get very little experience and almost no loot.

This is to prevent high-level players from refreshing the starting village, thus preventing new accounts from developing.

The Player <Archipelago> forum also became very active.

"Goodness, another new event!"

"Damn, Sacrifice Event to upgrade the ancestral hall requires sacrificial materials and upgrade materials? I usually just sell them all!"

"Luckily, I usually keep them saved."

"Damn it, the Corporate Players are widening the gap again. This won't do; I can't beat them in a one-on-one fight."

"We must form a guild, support one guild collectively, and let the strong lead the way for the weaker ones."

"Hellish joke: The strong lead the strong, Liu Bang leads Han Xin, Zhu Yuanzhang leads Li Shanchang."

"Damn it, this game is garbage, it's a waste of my youth, I'm not playing it anymore!"

"I'm quitting. Give me the poster announcing my game account cancellation. A single poster sells for a hundred million on the black market now."

"You think you can buy it for 100 million? You've definitely been scammed. It'll start at least at 1 billion!"

"Yes, there are many auctions going on right now, especially among wealthy old men who are bidding like crazy. Haven't you noticed how many murder cases involving the wealthy have been reported recently?"

"Yes, there was an old man named Deng who originally bequeathed 2.1 billion to his children in his will, but later regretted it and ended up being sent to his death by his children. He's currently in court."

The discussion quickly went off-topic.

And in a hidden post.

The group was still discussing it.

"That person set conditions: in addition to receiving the other top-ranking rewards, he also had to kill the person who threatened him."

"Damn it, isn't that telling us to commit suicide?"

How dare he make such a demand?

They were furious.

"Damn it, is there really no way we can deal with that guy?"

"This bastard is completely different from those civilians who erupted in rebellion before."

"He doesn't indulge in eating, drinking, or merrymaking; he doesn't fall for seduction; he doesn't have brothers or friends; he's all alone, doesn't marry, and doesn't have children."

"We simply cannot find any weaknesses in his interpersonal relationships."

"Damn it, what's the point of living like that?"

"According to psychological experts, he can satisfy most of his emotional needs simply by showing off in the game."

"Damn, so he's a game addict. In that case, let's give him an even more fun game and show him that women are way more fun than games."

"It's no use. Our undercover agents were tasked with finding him a match, arranging for several very beautiful women to encounter him, but he didn't react at all."

These people naturally didn't know that Gao Linzhi was playing Game Character, so they couldn't possibly react.

"Damn it, this guy must be Yang Wei."

"Yes, Yang Wei, we should quickly find him an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take a look."

"It's also possible he underwent genetic modification surgery."

"However, according to the hospital's examination records, we found no information about his surgery."

This group of people gave Gao Linzhi a good thrashing from behind, venting their frustration.

Once time passes, the problem will still need to be solved.

"Are we really going to agree to his demands? If so, we should kill the person who's threatening us," someone couldn't help but say.

"That's impossible; the scope he's referring to is too broad."

"If he only specifically names a few people and orders us to kill, we can find some decoys, or simply kill a few real people to get by."

"Now he says he's going to kill all the people who threaten him, and there are plenty of them. And if they don't threaten him today, they might threaten him tomorrow."

"Damn it, that means he wasn't sincere at all."

"That's right, he wasn't sincere at all. He brought up this condition in the first place just to embarrass us!"

"Damn it, does he really think he's number one on the overall leaderboard?"

"There's no need to beg him to give in. If all the major companies controlled by the United Association unite and concentrate their resources on one person, they're sure to snatch the top spot."

"Okay, let's do it that way."

At the same time.

Xu Gou arrived in Xu City and was strolling through the streets.

He is searching for people with the potential to possess Gold Quality talent.

Choosing such individuals from among the elite is the best approach.

But Xu Gou knew those people were often not easy to fool.

So he took a different approach and decided to start by observing the common people.

We'll consider what to do next; of course, he can't do it alone.

We'll need to rely on the local bullies then, and it just so happens that both the Liang Clan and Xu Clan have become the master's dogs, so we can make good use of them.

So he got on a bus.

In any case, buses are one of the places where ordinary people are most likely to be.

The bus was crowded, but the good news was that the air conditioning was on full blast, so it wasn't stuffy.

He frowned immediately.

He hadn't taken the bus for several years, and he wasn't used to this cheap mode of transportation.

He knew that for the sake of profit, it was impossible to avoid crowding; each additional person meant one more ticket sold and one more subsidy.

Public transportation subsidies are based on the volume of passengers transported.

He stood in the narrow space, surrounded by people on both sides.

Each person held onto the handrail with their left hand, held their phone in their right, and looked down at it.

Every time someone gets up from their seat and gets off the bus, it causes a slight commotion.

Often, several people would go together to rob it, and naturally, no major conflicts would occur.

The bus sped along the designated lane.

After some time, two more men wearing black masks boarded the bus, one tall and one short.

Xu Gou glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind.

He simply observed the crowd moving up and down.

Most people looked tired, indifferent, and sullen, with no sign of excitement.

Only a few young men and women were there, excitedly discussing various topics.

"Have you heard? Jincheng Mining is hiring again," a young college student said.

"I'm not going to the mines."

"The salary is very high; I heard the starting salary is 15,000."

"Fifteen thousand? The internship I found only pays 4,000. What are the requirements?"

"A bachelor's degree is sufficient."

Xu Gou smiled slightly; Jincheng Mining was an enterprise owned by the Xu Clan.

The reason for the high salaries is that they are investing in gold at any cost.

Gold is actually distributed in many places in the Earth's crust, but the cost of refining it is too high, which means that no one mines those low-grade gold mines.

However, the value of gold has increased dramatically in the Skyfall Game.

Even low-content gold veins are worth mining.

After all, these days, as long as there's goods, there will be buyers.

As a result, many people are hoarding and speculating on goods.

Many people who hoarded gold in the early years made a fortune.

Of course, they didn't know that once they sold the gold, they would suffer huge losses.

No matter how much money you make, you'll still lose money.

Many people looked tired as they swayed back and forth on the bus.

Suddenly.

Gunshots rang out from the confined space!

"Bang! Bang!"

Everyone was stunned.

"Who brought firecrackers on the vehicle!" someone complained.

"Damn it, this is a gun, not a firecracker!" the tall, masked man shouted angrily. "Show me some respect!"

"IP, IC, IQ card, tell me the passwords for all of them!"

"Let me tell you, you've hit the jackpot!"

"We're robbing people!" the short, masked man shouted, brandishing his homemade pistol.

Xu Gou glanced over and saw the crowd surging to both sides, making way for the two guys.

Many people were lying on top of others.

The two men's homemade pistols were very crude; they were just two iron pipes tied with wire. I don't know how they made them.

He frowned slightly.

I remember that when the Xu Clan used to govern Xu City, although they were strict, the overall public security was still very good.

Robberies and thefts were virtually nonexistent.

After all, this greatly affects their ability to make money.

Only a few places are considered no-man's-land, where there is no law and order whatsoever.

Upon seeing that it was a real gun, everyone immediately fell silent, trembling with fear.

The two were very pleased with themselves.

"Damn it, the Xu Clan is in trouble now, and they're not caring about anything anymore."

"I'm going to take this opportunity to rob someone!" the tall, masked man said deliberately.

As he spoke, he pointed the gun at a person next to him and said, "Give me the phone, the cash, everything."

"Here's your phone, but I don't have any cash. Let me take out my SIM card first." The person he was pointing at was an office worker who didn't seem to have fully woken up yet.

"Damn it, I'm robbing you, not making a deal!"

"Bang!" The tall, masked man fired a shot at the office worker's thigh.

"Ah!"

A trail of blood immediately flowed from the man's suit trousers, and a spray of iron filings splattered across half of his body.

The office worker screamed in pain, "Don't kill me! I'll give you everything, all of it!"

Despite the excruciating pain in his leg, he quickly handed over his phone, took everything out of his pocket, and even handed over a set of keys and identification documents.

The tall, masked man only took his phone. "Get lost! Next!"

The office worker endured the pain, pressing his hand against the wound, hoping the robbery would end quickly so he could go to the hospital.

There are arteries in the thigh; if injured, it can be fatal.

Having learned from the previous example, the remaining people obediently handed over their cell phones and a small amount of cash.

When the tall, masked man walked up to an ordinary college student wearing glasses, he still reached out his hand.

The bespectacled college student looked frightened and timidly said, "Uncle, I need to use the restroom. Can I get off the bus to use the restroom?"

"Go to the toilet? Go to the toilet my ass!"

The tall, masked man laughed in exasperation, as if the other person thought he was stupid.

Instead of wasting a single bullet, he chose to kick it.

That kick landed hard on the college student's waist.

Just as everyone was holding their breath for the college student, he remained completely still.

On the contrary, a hint of violence flashed in the college student's eyes.

He reached out and aimed at the tall, masked man, unleashing a four-finger Thrust, a Lightning Release: Four-Finger Piercing Hand...

This sudden Thrust was like a needle piercing tofu, going straight into the chest of the tall, masked man.

The tall, masked man was stunned.

He stared in disbelief at his chest, his right hand reaching for the trigger, but the excruciating pain drained him of all strength, and he collapsed backward.

"Murder!" The person next to him, splattered with blood, screamed in terror and shrank back as fast as he could.

"Big brother!" The short, masked man's eyes immediately turned red.

He immediately pulled out a homemade pistol and fired at the college student!

However, before the bullet could even fly, the bespectacled college student, with the same thrust, pierced through his chest.

"No, impossible, how could you be so fast?"

The short man wearing a mask suddenly followed in the footsteps of the tall man.

Xu Gou watched this scene with great interest.

Clearly, this is a gamer who has just gained power.

The method used was likely game skills.

All I can say is that the other party was very Fortune.

If it had been exposed a few months earlier, this bespectacled college student would have been finished.
