Charging Gold, Charging Influence!

Gao Linzhi, however, smiled.

That's right, I can do that.

He then got up to pay at the counter, throwing down a 20 yuan bill.

At this moment, the owner gave him a second look and gave him 5 yuan in change.

Gao Linzhi realized immediately that it was counterfeit money.

Gao Linzhi didn't make a scene on the spot, but he did make a mental note of the shop.

He then walked out of the shop and saw the inspection personnel. They were already very close to him.

But he still walked unhurriedly.

At this moment.

Suddenly, the ramen shop owner rushed out and shouted at his retreating back, "That person is suspicious!"

"He's a young man paying, and he's not using his phone!"

Gao Linzhi turned to look at him and stopped.

He saw the owner fawning over the Security Team Leader who was inspecting, saying, "Team Leader Xu, you guys sent a notice in the shop group earlier, saying to pay close attention to customers who don't pay with their phones, especially young people."

"This guy isn't using his phone to pay."

"Good job. Once confirmed, you'll get a bounty."

The next moment, the Security Team Leader waved his hand, and a group of fully armed security personnel, holding submachine guns, surrounded Gao Linzhi from both sides.

Gao Linzhi wasn't in a hurry.

He just thought, As expected, it's easy to get exposed once you enter the city.

Many things that are usually insignificant are magnified infinitely in the eyes of others.

Because they don't care if you're innocent or not.

He then suddenly accelerated and charged towards the group.

"Whoosh!"

With 110 Constitution, his speed instantly surged to 200 kilometers per hour!

He directly smashed the shop owner who was still waving his hands, and then disappeared into an alley in a flash, vanishing without a trace.

Everyone only saw a cloud of dust.

The Security Team Leader hadn't even had time to fire!

Because the mission priority was to capture alive, and then to kill.

If they caught him, they could interrogate him about where the game poster was most likely to drop after his death.

When ordinary players were killed, the game poster didn't drop right next to them.

Instead, it would drop in a place the player had visited before.

Gao Linzhi sped out of the city and plunged back into the mountains and forests.

It could be said that with an off-road speed of 200 kilometers per hour on flat ground, there were basically few enemies left.

He then summoned the Corpse Vine.

This pet, if it fought head-on, couldn't defeat many players and couldn't withstand gunfire.

However, if placed in a real-world city, it would be an unconventional existence!

By burrowing underground, it could enter many places silently.

After all, in modern cities, the sewers were connected everywhere.

"Bury yourself underground, take advantage of the night, and sneak into those uninhabited villas. Go in quietly, without making a sound, swallow all those shiny gold things, and bring them back to me."

The Corpse Vine opened its bloody maw, nodded its head, and then burrowed into the ground.

Gao Linzhi, meanwhile, moved to another location.

He didn't have to worry about the Corpse Vine not finding its way.

Its intelligence was very high.

Night fell.

West District of Xu City, a wealthy neighborhood.

Dozens of villas were located by a man-made lake.

Only a few of them had lights on; the rest were dark.

When the owners were not home, it was convenient for certain nocturnal creatures.

Before long, a dark, grassy head emerged from a sewer opening.

The grass head looked around, then continued to burrow into one of the villas.

Shining gold, shining gold.

The grass head only had the words its master had spoken in its mind...

Soon, it burrowed from underground into the villa.

It continued to burrow, heading towards the living room.

Popping its head out in the living room, the newly renovated, expensive floor immediately had several holes.

It then looked around and discovered a golden Buddha statue.

It swallowed it in one gulp.

Then it went to the bedroom and saw a pair of gold rings on the nightstand, and swallowed them.

It then looked at the bed and saw a glittering gold necklace, and continued to swallow.

"Ah!" a sharp female voice screamed!

"What's biting me!"

The grass head was so scared it immediately burrowed back.

It ate corpses, not living things.

Let's try another one.

The bedroom light in the villa turned on.

A woman was lying on the bed.

She looked up and felt a chill run down her spine.

A deep, dark hole, covered in slime, was clearly visible on the floor.

And this was a luxurious marble floor!

"What's going on? Why is there such a big hole in my house?"

Terrified, she immediately called security.

Soon, security personnel arrived quickly.

It only took five minutes, and the department manager of security led the team personally.

"This must have come from that place!" The department manager knew it couldn't be a creature from the planet after just one look.

He naturally knew about the existence of the game, Skyfall World.

This was clearly the work of a monster from the game.

Now the problem was, had the game invaded reality?

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He knew how terrifying the monsters in the game could be.

Demonic Creatures were one thing; they could be killed with physical attacks.

However, Anomalies were impossible to kill; you could only find their patterns to avoid and contain them.

Fortunately, his intuition told him that this one was likely a Demonic Creature.

He quickly took photos, recorded a video, and got the woman's statement, then submitted it to the Chairman through the company management platform.

Dawn arrived.

Qi Hui stood in a cave. After a night of effort, the Corpse Vine had brought him a full fifty kilograms of gold ornaments.

It had avoided places with high security measures, where security personnel patrolled with guns.

After all, it could easily be killed by gunfire.

Its Constitution wasn't as high as Gao Linzhi's.

Fifty kilograms might sound like a lot, but it wasn't very large, just a palm-sized lump.

This was because gold has a very high density.

"Good, good. I'll let you eat all those corpses back at base."

Previously, when Gao Linzhi was farming monsters, he hadn't let the Corpse Vine devour them to prevent others from noticing anything unusual.

But now, he could just charge forward without any worries.

Just like those super-rich players in games, they didn't worry about being ganged up on.

He quickly put the gold into his backpack, then recalled the Corpse Vine.

He didn't continue with it.

This method could only be used once.

Because this was the era of big data, after this action, the relevant information would definitely be shared with other companies.

They will definitely take action and confiscate all gold ornaments.

Gao Linzhi entered the game.

"Deposit fifty thousand gold!"

Fifty thousand gold is fifty thousand grams, which is 50 kilograms.

"Ding! Congratulations, player, on successfully depositing 50,000 gold. You have received 500,000 Skyfall Stones."

"Your Noble Privilege level has been upgraded to 8."

"The privileges you enjoy are: no experience deduction for forced logout, 100% increased experience from fighting monsters."

"Pet breakthrough chance increased by 100%."

"Mini-map will issue danger warnings 1 hour in advance."

"Daily death penalty waived five times."

"You have obtained advanced auto-battle privileges, consuming 10 Skyfall Stones per hour. The higher the level, the higher the consumption."

Alright, now that I have money, I can desperately push for influence again!
