Breaking the Deadlock: Someone Had Succeeded

"That's right. Only by doing this, by risking our lives, can these Company Executive Players get more preferential treatment in game activities and game design."

"That's right, the game operators are indeed introducing gameplay features that are more favorable to Company Executive Players."

"For example, the alliance mechanism is actually designed for Corporate Players."

"This is more beneficial to companies than to individual employees."

"That's true."

These high-level players sighed.

They belong to the category of professional gamers, the legendary high-level players.

They have all won championships in world-class competitive sports.

Therefore, when game qualifications were not in short supply, they were recruited by executives of large companies through various means.

They cannot resist the other side.

Because offline, their parents, family, friends, and classmates are all under the control of the other party.

Even if they do nothing, they still have tracking chips and various other means of control installed in their bodies.

Just like the Boys, having nuclear weapons hidden in one's private area is not a joke.

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Have you noticed that, despite seemingly being a free agent, the 'Canxue Boss' actually runs a company?"

"It's just that he didn't use as many coercive methods."

"That's right, to put it bluntly, he's no longer a free spirit."

"We can no longer view him with the perspective of a casual observer. The difference between him and those Company Executive Players is that he lacks experience and depth."

"Yes, the Company Executive have deep roots; each of them comes from a powerful and influential family."

"Although the direct line often ends up dying out, there are still many, many branch lines."

"However, I heard that the Canxue Boss is still unmarried and doesn't even touch women."

Someone couldn't help but laugh and say, "Some people say he's a eunuch."

"Perhaps it's because of his talent that he has to remain a male chef?"

"Heh, you bunch of idiots," someone scoffed, "That's a very Gao Ming habit of his."

"Having a woman means having a weakness, and that makes you vulnerable to being taken advantage of."

"After all, the presence of a woman inevitably means there will be someone with whom you will have intimate contact."

"Normally, I can use a double or a puppet, but when I'm with a woman, I definitely use my real body."

Everyone suddenly realized, "That's right."

"Once his true form is contaminated by a female spy or assassin, it could potentially kill him."

These people were right.

This is precisely the fundamental reason why Gao Linzhi chooses not to touch women.

He's from a generation that grew up watching the Legend Chu Liuxiang.

At this very moment.

Someone messaged Gao Linzhi privately. "Boss, some people have bad intentions."

"They want the mission to fail intentionally, and then use that opportunity to force the game operators to compel you to take action personally."

"How malicious their intentions are!"

Gao Linzhi smiled.

He wasn't surprised by this.

It's perfectly normal for there to be bad people among humans.

"They wanted to fail on purpose, so they deliberately failed."

"I can still go online here, so why should I care?"

"As for the game operators, they have no right to force me to do anything."

Gao Linzhi possesses the power of time travel, which compensates for the flaws in the Game System.

To some extent, he was actually a participant in the Game System, and could be considered a shareholder.

A pay-to-win game can ban Ordinary Player's accounts at will, but it dares not touch the accounts of those super-popular players.

It's even more impossible when a super influencer is also a company shareholder.

Gao Linzhi knew very well that he entered the game through the game's core system.

The core system of this game is something that the game operators cannot interfere with.

The game operators can only offer suggestions, such as organizing ranking events or adding DLC.

They do not have the right to ban accounts.

Gao Linzhi didn't think much of it after hearing it.

He then turned around and left his Game Character online to AFK.

His own body continued to diligently cultivate the techniques of the Skyfall World.

He wanted to truly understand these mysterious forces at the bottom of society.

In the past, cultivation was difficult in the real world.

But now, strange things have invaded Blue Star, and mysterious forces have also appeared.

His cultivation is already showing signs of progress.

Furthermore, with the enhancements and modifications to his body from the game, it can be said that his cultivation of the Skyfall Technique is now vastly different from what it used to be.

Not long after.

In the bizarre story instance, white light began to emerge.

The first players to enter, often as cannon fodder, died immediately upon entering.

They revived at the East Wolf Village.

Seeing this, the others were relieved.

"Haha, once we're resurrected, we can escape, so there's nothing to worry about."

It's obvious they recruited some cannon fodder players to infiltrate the game.

They wouldn't care whether these cannon fodder lived or died.

If these people are imprisoned in a strange space after death, then they're in trouble.

After confirming this, these high-level players were finally ready to take to the field themselves.

Of course, they were just making preparations; they would never rashly go in.

They started collecting strategy guides.

Gao Linzhi, having received the news, also logged back online.

He wanted to observe this strange intensity.

Gao Linzhi stood on the rooftop of the Safe Zone building, looking at the entrance to the strange dungeon from afar.

Soon, high-level players dispatched another group of elites.

Compared to those cannon fodder players who died as soon as they entered, two whole hours passed and no one came out dead.

Clearly, the elite players they sent out were indeed formidable.

At this point, some of the eliminated cannon fodder players couldn't wait to start showing off and bragging in the public chat.

Of course, anyone who dares to boast about their experiences is definitely a scatterbrain, and one without any brains.

Among those cannon fodder players, most were Corporate Players, and a small number were clueless individual players who were easily swayed into joining.

There are many, many people like that.

So many scams every year are designed specifically for them.

And at this time...

Immediately, someone offered them gold and asked them to share their strategy.

"Brother, tell me, what's the situation inside?"

"@World's Number One Drop, here's your 5 gold coins."

"Thanks for the generous five-gold reward! It's very dark inside; you can't see anything once you're inside," the man said immediately.

"My vision, hearing, and speech have all been blocked."

"It's like I've become Blind Man, deaf, and mute."

"I was terrified at the time. I wondered if I had really gone blind?"

"Then I started groping around randomly, and my hand touched something that looked like a needle. The system then notified me that I was dead."

"I was trapped in a strange spatial confinement, but thankfully the Game System is great. My first death removed the negative buff for free, and I can choose to revive on the spot or return to town to revive."

"Of course I'll choose to go back to town and respawn."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately realized the difficulty involved.

"Holy crap, this weirdo can strip a person of their five senses right off the bat!"

"Yes, hearing, sight, and speech—to turn someone into Blind Man, deaf, or mute person, that's ruthless."

"So, to solve this dungeon, we can only rely on touch and smell to move forward."

"With just these two things, it's simply impossible to crack the code."

"Ordinary people really can't do it."

"Furthermore, the loss of your voice means you can't easily communicate with others, nor can you use sound to determine location."

"There must be a lot of traps in that dungeon. Sending a Blind Man, deaf, or mute person in would be suicide."

"No wonder you died so quickly."

After reading it, Gao Linzhi had to admit that this strange creature was indeed very insidious and cunning.

Ordinary players are no match for it.

It's impossible to break through this defense with sheer numbers.

We can only rely on elite tactics.

It means that small teams explore one by one, gradually piecing together the puzzle.

Cannon fodder won't get any puzzle pieces; they'll just die for nothing.

However, the Game System has also made every effort to provide support.

The players weren't wiped out inside.

The purpose of invading the game is to obtain the World Source, not to torment the players.

A chess piece will not be sacrificed casually as long as it still has value.

There are still 100,000 people here.

There should still be a chance to completely crack the bizarre instance.

Three hours later.

The second batch of elite players began to return one after another.

They also spoke on the event channel.

This must have been permitted by the Company Executive Players, in order to highlight the importance of their Corporate Players.

"I'm a little Fortune than them," said one of the elite players, referring to the strategy they had discovered.

"Although I can't see, my mental attributes are quite high, so I can still sense my surroundings."

"Spirit?" One player's eyes lit up.

"Yes, I have 300 points in my mental attribute, which is enough to sense the situation within a 30-meter radius. Although it's not very clear, and what I see is in black and white, it's still not bad."

"I sensed that I was surrounded by a Thorns."

"I carefully avoided them."

"Then I slowly explored it."

"Not long after, I sensed something soft appearing on the ground."

"It then pounced on me."

"I went up and gave it a left front kick and a right roundhouse kick, sending it flying."

"However, this angered the soft thing."

"It wrapped itself around me; it felt like a snake."

"Or rather, it was an octopus that strangled me to death."

"I see." Everyone suddenly realized.

No wonder the cannon fodder players at the beginning said they touched a needle; it turned out to be Thorns.

At this moment, another elite player said:

"I'm doomed, my mental attribute isn't high enough."

"It's just that he has a high physique."

"After I went in, I still couldn't see or hear anything."

"I thought it was dark, but for some reason, I suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to sleep."

"I just lay down on the ground. Because of my tall stature, I've always slept very well."

"I can fall asleep instantly."

"However, while I was asleep, the game notified me that I had died."

Upon seeing this, the crowd began to discuss it animatedly.

"It seems this anomaly is not only proficient in spatial manipulation, but also in mental attacks."

"Yes, the so-called deprivation of the senses probably means blocking their neural perception."

"It can even make them see hallucinations."

"If you're under an illusion, you'll lose your sense of perception. How will you then solve the dungeon?"

And so, as one player after another died, they were all resurrected.

Everyone was in the chat channel, sharing their experiences.

Their experiences were largely the same.

Once inside, you can't see, hear, or speak; you can only rely on touch and smell.

Only those with high spiritual attributes are qualified to explore.

"If that's the case, then the only way to solve this problem is with a mage-type player," one player said.

And at this time...

Finally, someone revealed the key point:

"Listen up, everyone, I've just found out the background of the story."

"The origin of this strange story is an incompetent husband."

"He was killed because his wife had an affair with her lover, similar to Wu Dalang."

"Your loss of hearing and sight is actually an indication of your husband's condition."

"This implies that he knows nothing about his wife, like a deaf and Blind Man, unable to see her affair."

"And his inability to speak means that even when faced with such a terrible situation, he did not blame his wife, but chose to forgive her..."

"Good heavens, I'm speechless."

"What a bastard!"

Everyone fell silent.

"That's right, that should be it."

Gao Linzhi nodded; this information was the same as what he had received from Li Gun.

"If that's the case, how should we solve it?"

"Hehe, history has the answer. How did Wu Dalang solve it?"

"You can't rely on him alone, unless you have a Wu Erlang."

"Just like Wu Dalang, what did Wu Dalang say at his last moment?"

He said Jinlian told him, "You should serve me well, and when Erlang returns, I'll give you a letter of divorce."

"As it turned out, his words became his death warrant."

"Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing were worried that Wu Dalang would find out about their affair when he returned, so they decided to go all the way and kill Wu Dalang."

"And that's still the case now; simply turning a deaf ear won't solve the problem."

"That mistress will conspire with her lover to kill you."

You must find your own Wu Song.

"In other words, finding Wu Song will allow us to solve this strange dungeon."

Gao Linzhi nodded.

This person's analysis is excellent.

This went on for three days and three nights.

But no one seemed to know what to do with this bizarre instance.

On the contrary, many players experienced side effects.

That means their mental attributes are damaged, and they are prone to oversleeping.

Some people's XP even changed, showing signs of being NTR'd.

This is very serious.

Gao Linzhi was not in a hurry about this.

He never believed that he was the only one who could solve the world's problems.

Really.

One week later.

Game hint.

"Ding! Congratulations to player 'The Laziest Person in the World' for successfully solving this bizarre dungeon."

"The anomaly has been successfully banished."

Players can now log in and out normally.

"To compensate players for their losses, we are now increasing the drop rate of bosses. In the coming week, there will be a 5% chance of obtaining Revival Stone and Skill Book when defeating bosses."

This compensation is quite good.

A 5% chance is already very, very high.

After all, there's more than one boss.

Of course, the BOSS has a long respawn time.
