Empty 2086's Escape, and the Uniqueness of Wolf Snake Island

At this very moment.

In the Skyfall Game.

Along a riverbank, willows sway gently.

Look closely, there's a young man being chased.

He was facing five high-level players, each above level 50.

The young man in front of me is Empty 2086.

He angrily addressed the five men, saying, "You bunch of bastards, how dare you be so aggressive!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll broadcast the despicable things you've done live on the event channel?"

"There are now live streaming channels in the game!"

"Hmph," the leader, an old man, sneered, "Zhao Kong, go ahead and announce it if you want."

"Such a precious treasure, Talent Stone that allows one to become ethereal and concealed, should not have fallen into your hands."

"You're just a collateral branch of the Zhao family; it's a waste to use you for yourself."

"It should be handed over to us so that we can make good use of it."

Upon hearing this, Empty 2086 became extremely angry.

He never expected these people to be like this.

Even though he knew it was scripted, Empty 2086 was still genuinely furious.

Because he knew this thing would actually happen.

The five family members in front of me are completely playing themselves.

Because these people had no idea it was a script.

The only people who knew this was a script were him, the planners of the five major companies, and the heads of their families—no more than ten people in total.

Of course, these five pursuers were not included among these ten people.

You should know that they all share the surname Zhao.

The leader Zhao Wu, and he was from the eldest branch of the family. According to seniority, he should be addressed as "Third Uncle".

He originally respected his family and always felt safe and a sense of belonging.

Their family has a strong sense of unity.

After all, his gaming qualifications were granted by his family through fair competition.

He was very proud of his surname, Zhao.

This is a very ancient surname, and the family has a complete genealogy spanning more than dozens of generations, continuing unbroken from the Warring States period to the present.

However, now, simply because of a script, he felt a genuine disgust for this family.

He now fully understood why those independent people despised these aristocratic families.

Because these powerful families are truly rubbish.

For their own benefit, they don't care about true fairness and justice at all.

Previously, this injustice had not befallen him, and he had countless reasons to defend his family.

But now, under this script, he was shocked to discover that there wasn't a single person speaking up for him!

You should know, this is quite obvious.

He obtained a Gold Tier Talent Stone by himself, and using it automatically created a talent slot.

This thing could potentially change the future of a Game Character entirely.

He then found himself playing himself.

"You bastards!"

"Since that's the case, and you won't let me have an easy time, then let's fight to the death!"

He then started his personal live stream on the event channel.

"Hey everyone, this is Empty 2086."

"Today I choose to leave."

"I now relinquish everything of the Zhao family. From this day forward, I abandon the Zhao surname and adopt Kong as my surname!"

"Let's all verify this."

Empty 2086 still has a strong reputation.

After he started his live stream, thousands of people quickly flocked to it.

At this time, many casual users were chatting in the event channel, and they immediately noticed that someone had opened a live streaming room.

"What's going on, Kongkong Kong? What happened?"

"Yeah, how did they suddenly leave the family?"

"The big boss Kongkong is actually a member of the Zhao family? I just found out."

"Here's what happened. Everyone, please tell me, is there any justice left?"

"I've worked so hard for the Zhao family, and yesterday I fought a boss and got a treasure."

"But they want to force me to hand it over."

"If it were just an ordinary treasure, it wouldn't matter, but this treasure is a perfect match for my talent."

"However, they refused to let me take it, claiming I was only a collateral branch, and insisted on giving it to the main branch, which was completely unsuitable for me!"

A group of players immediately got excited. "Holy crap, this is the legendary classic 'powerful family suppresses' technique!"

"I'm seeing reality!"

"Let's eat some melon seeds!"

Empty 2086 sneered, "Now, let's not say any more words."

"The greatest effect of this treasure is that it will automatically disappear into the void when encountering a Lethal Strike attack, three times a day."

"It also grants a 15% boost to all hidden skills."

"And my talent is related to concealment."

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately shocked.

Gao Linzhi, who was watching the drama unfold, was also shocked.

Sure enough, good luck happens to everyone, not just me.

Isn't this just a beggar version of Obito's Kamui?

Three chances a day is already a lot.

Gao Linzhi was tempted.

He immediately continued reading.

Inside the live stream room...

Empty 2086 continued indignantly, "However, they don't award prizes according to talent."

"Whoever is suitable for it should use it."

"And I was the one who looted this!"

Just then, a wandering scholar suddenly sneered, "Hmph, you're only reaping what you sowed."

"Since you've already revealed it, why did you tell others?"

"Don't tell me you don't know the principle of a child carrying gold through a bustling market!"

"That's because I was acting with them, but I was the main damage dealer for the BOSS."

"Just as I thought, you actually only managed to defeat the BOSS thanks to your family, but you stole the loot, and now your family is demanding it back," someone said disdainfully.

Gao Linzhi nodded.

This is the truth.

The truth is hidden in the details.

"That's not how it is. Actually, my family sent people to monitor me. In short, all you need to know is that this thing belongs to me!" Empty 2086, feeling very aggrieved.

There are actually two layers to the truth.

On the surface, it appears that the family members acted as meat shields, while he, as a hidden assassin, dealt the final blows.

However, in reality, this treasure was provided by the five major companies and was a prop from the script.

However, only he and a few others knew this.

The five people in front of them all thought it was dropped by a boss.

Sure enough, at this moment, the old man in front of them spoke:

"That's right, the eyes of the masses are discerning."

"Actually, this treasure was originally dropped during a family event, so it should naturally be handled by the family."

"If you were the one who knocked it down, would you have told us?"

"How could your family possibly know what's in your Game Backpack?"

Many players commented, "That's right."

"I see."

"The truth is indeed not so simple; reality is not a novel, and it is not one-sided."

"Both sides have disagreements."

"In any case, this family and company are completely unreliable when it comes to the huge profits of the players." At this moment, a shill began to make his move.

"They only distribute benefits based on personal relationships."

"That's true. In normal times, they can distribute profits according to the usual rules and regulations, but the profits in the game are too great, and they can easily involve one's life or fortune."

"That's right, that's exactly it."

And at this time...

As more players joined, the number of people supporting Empty 2086 began to increase.

"Kongkong crap, isn't that the legendary Kongkong?"

"Kongkong suffered such a terrible fate?"

"Isn't this just too frustrating?"

"If you're bullied even without a family, and you're still bullied even with a family, then what's the point of having a family?"

"That's true, that Canxue veteran is really shrewd; he went the Lone Wolf Path early on."

While everyone was commenting, the five people had already started fighting with Empty 2086.

Clearly, Kongkong was completely at ease.

He always managed to dodge the opponent's attacks.

But instead of retaliating, he took a moment to say in the live stream, "Everyone, I want to apologize to you all."

"Only today did I realize the shamelessness and ruthlessness of these aristocratic families."

"I'm leaving the family now!"

"Not only that, I'm going to get revenge on them!"

"Guys, stay tuned!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads.

"Heh, it seems even Kongkong Kong can't hold on any longer."

"Who would have thought that this person could rival the top-ranked player with Canxue?"

"That's the truth. I knew all along that those family companies were unreliable."

"You can only rely on yourself to play this realistic game!"

"That's right, it's obvious that only I can rely on myself."

And at this time...

As everyone watched, the competition between Empty 2086 and the other five people became increasingly intense.

Not long after, Kongkong suddenly disappeared.

However, the five people were not in a hurry.

The old man took out a bead.

"This is the Revealing Pearl, the nemesis of your talent!"

"You still want to escape?"

"How is that possible?"

A beam of light emanated from the bead, and then Empty 2086 revealed its form.

"Hmph," the old man scoffed, "Zhao Kong, you only succeeded because of the Zhao family's influence."

"Even your qualification to play this game was obtained through your family."

"Without the Zhao family, you wouldn't even be qualified to play this game, okay?"

"Your family raised you, so it's only right that you give back to your family!"

"You dare to resist now? Tell me, don't you deserve to die?"

And at this time...

Many casual observers immediately began to laugh.

"That's what they say, you have to work for whoever pays you."

"That's right. Since you got your gaming privileges through your family, you must have killed some of us lone wolves to obtain them."

"Now you want to be a freelancer? How ridiculous!"

Empty 2086 was immediately enraged.

But thinking about the script, I had no choice but to endure it.

Clearly, he has quite a reputation.

However, his reputation among the laymen was entirely infamous.

This is incomparable to Gao Linzhi.

Because Gao Linzhi relies entirely on himself, many people, even if they are dissatisfied with Gao Linzhi's self-centered approach, cannot bring themselves to despise him.

At this very moment.

Representatives from the five major companies were also watching the live stream.

They felt somewhat displeased by the current public opinion.

"This Kongkong doesn't seem to be very popular among casual players; he has quite a bad reputation."

"Heh, a bad reputation is still a reputation."

"You're wrong. It may seem that way just by looking at the comments, but actually most people haven't said anything."

"Many people don't care about that at all; they only care about the other party's strength."

"That's how independent people are; they gloat whenever a strong person falls on hard times."

"And this scene right now perfectly proves Kongkong's strength."

"Let him continue following the script."

Not long after.

Kongkong seemed to have heard something, and he immediately unleashed his full power.

He knew he couldn't gain a great reputation, so he had to impress others with his strength.

Let them know that they can stand up to the powerful families.

In this way, he can better utilize these scattered individuals to achieve his final victory.

The opponent used a bead to make him visible.

But he wasn't worried.

He then, despite the attacks from the others, used his incredible speed to attack the old man holding the beads.

He wielded a dagger, and his attack speed was as fast as the wind.

The person moved back and forth.

Like a highly agile assassin.

In just over ten rounds, the old man was killed and resurrected.

The old man immediately flew into a rage, yelling in the event channel, "Impossible! Why is this happening?"

"My strength should be about the same as yours!"

"I can't possibly only last ten rounds!"

He was naturally unaware that this was because the family patriarch had completely revealed his weakness to Kongkong.

Kongkong immediately used a targeted skill.

He knew exactly where the other party's weaknesses lay.

Therefore, it can deliver a fatal attack.

It's fair to say that the five people who came to hunt them down were merely pawns, background figures.

Of course, they were completely unaware of the situation.

Because only performances under such circumstances are truly authentic.

Otherwise, it will feel too fake to the audience.

Everyone's smart enough to see it.

Empty 2086 scoffed, "Hmph, you people just stay home eating, drinking, and having fun all day."

"You Direct Descendants can level up just by buying monsters."

"They have no idea how much effort I've put into practicing techniques to level up."

After killing the old man, he chose to disappear again.

After becoming invisible, the other four panicked because they no longer had the Revealing Pearl.

They couldn't see each other and could only defend themselves back to back.

The next moment, Kongkong reappeared above the four of them.

With a single dagger strike, he killed another person.

And just like that, he killed all five of them.

They chose to respawn in the Safe Zone immediately and never dared to come back.

Kongkong then fled all the way to Wolf Snake Island.

They then entered the Safe Zone on Wolf Snake Island.

For this reason, he even made a special trip to visit Gao Linzhi.

Gao Linzhi naturally received them normally and did not take the opportunity to kick them while they were down.

Because he sensed that something was going on behind the scenes.

There's no need to waste time and effort.

Moreover, individuals with potential like Empty 2086 are also explorers on his path to Immortality.

Pioneers of a great era.

Gao Linzhi would not suppress the other party arbitrarily.

"Thank you for taking me in, Boss Canxue. I will do my best to fulfill any requests you may have in the future," Empty 2086 said gratefully.

"No problem, no problem. This is a free Trade Island. As long as you can afford it, you can stay as long as you want," Gao Linzhi said with a smile.

"That's natural." Empty 2086 breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the script, only Gao Linzhi is the most likely to withstand the pressure from the Zhao family.

Elsewhere, you have to pay an extra price, like being someone else's dog.
