"Ooooh——"

Outside the village's Digital Egg room, three Goblinmon hugged Digital Eggs, jumping and waving wooden sticks in their hands.

A Lie had tried to stop them, but only when facing Goblinmon alone did he realize how lucky he had been to win before.

--Koromon's bubbles are crucial!

Goblin Strike!

Boom!

A fireball flew and hit the corner of the roof. A Lie was still racking his brains for a solution when the area above him suddenly lit up.

Bang!

A broken piece of wood slammed down in front of him. He subconsciously took two steps back to avoid being hit by the subsequent collapse.

The splashing dust and flying wood chips made it hard to believe that this was all fake.

Crap! That scared me!

Is this for real? That's too dangerous!

The audience in the live stream was also frightened by the falling debris. They did enjoy watching the excitement, but they were essentially gathered in this live stream because they recognized A Lie.

Moreover, the uproar only counted as a good show when the consequences were within a controllable range.

If A Lie were accidentally injured, they would be the most heartbroken.

Now that they could see the danger of the scene through the live stream, most people started to worry about A Lie.

This money is hard to earn!

They didn't even know that A Lie and Qian Lai weren't getting any money at all.

Of course, Liang Xing didn't care about the revenue from A Lie's live stream, and Qian Lai was more interested in experiencing high-tech products.

Not only was Liang Xing not paying them, but no one would refuse even if they had to pay!

Those who ranked high on the gift list in A Lie's live stream wouldn't even have the chance to pay if they wanted to.

But only this kind of realistic scene could truly be considered a full-fledged experience.

"Huff--huff--" A Lie didn't have time to pay attention to the live stream's comments, taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

He could clearly see Liang Xing standing outside the camera's shooting range, but the Goblinmon didn't attack him.

This in itself showed that everything was under Liang Xing's control and within the scope allowed by the program.

"What's there to be afraid of if it's fake?"

A Lie muttered to himself, partly to reassure the audience, and then bent down to grab a handful of wood chips.

--The word 'fake' will definitely be cut out when the program is officially broadcast, authenticity is what creates immersion~

"Ooooh——"

One of the Goblinmon put down its Digital Egg and cautiously approached the room where A Lie was hiding.

Swish!

"Take this!"

Throw the wood chips first, then speak.

The Goblinmon's eyes were distracted by the wood chips before it heard the sound, and its subconscious counterattack hit the wall. A Lie, however, staggered and pushed down the broken wood.

This feel... it really is fake!

The feel of the Holographic Projection simulation is definitely different from pushing real broken wood.

After all, there's no real sensation.

But don't think that knowing it's fake means you can withstand it. The pain brought by psychological suggestion can even last longer than the real thing.

After all, in a real situation, being buried by falling objects from a height could instantly lead to death, but psychological suggestion is a continuous pain and suffocation.

Although not fatal, it is definitely unforgettable.

Liang Xing doesn't want the participants to confuse reality and illusion.

You have to understand that this kind of injury, which would be fatal in a real situation, should not be attempted lightly without the resolve to risk your life!

A Lie wanted to pursue, but the broken wood obviously couldn't cause fatal damage to the Goblinmon.

The blindly waving wooden stick and the support from other Goblinmon in the distance forced him to retreat.

Goblin Strike!

The old-fashioned attack, but the effect is undiminished.

The wall was blasted open, although not broken, but the precarious appearance left it with no capital as a cover.

The truth is that Liang Xing didn't dare to randomly cover the building with blank space in places that were within reach.

This is different from a fence. The earthen wall could very well withstand the Goblinmon's attack, so Liang Xing naturally didn't need to take risks.

Psychological suggestion can only be considered creating something from nothing, but it can't eliminate the reality that already exists.

Meanwhile, Qian Lai and the others near the fence were drawn back to provide support, giving the prop team ample time to synchronize the virtual with the real.

Once this period passes, Qian Lai will even start to doubt whether his original guess was correct!

Speaking of which, while A Lie was fleeing in a sorry state, Qi Tian and the others had only run halfway when they heard an explosion coming from the direction of the Digital Egg.

Apart from Qi Tian, the little ones present were all child stars, and their environment determined that their knowledge was different from ordinary children.

The three thought about it and simply returned the way they came!

"Uncle A Lie!" Qi Tian saw A Lie's disheveled figure and was just about to provide support when Ning Jing grabbed him.

"Let's go around and protect the Digital Egg first!"

A Lie's route was clearly intentional. Since the addition of the three little ones would definitely not have a decisive effect, it would be better to solve everyone's worries first.

"There!"

Not far away, the three saw the Digital Egg on the ground.

Because it was inconvenient for the Goblinmon to chase while holding the Digital Egg, it was temporarily placed on the ground.

With this level of intelligence, how could they know anything about feinting?

It was purely a matter of splitting up, with insufficient time control on both sides, resulting in the front line almost being wiped out while the sneak attack from the rear was only just arriving.

These Demon-type Virus-type Digimon, born from viruses and redundant data under Liang Xing's guidance, are the most common in the Digital World.

Anyway, the data used to attack the Liang Xing Toys Factory's official website is basically used by Liang Xing as nourishment for the birth of Goblinmon.

Of course, other Virus-type Digimon are also born, but under Liang Xing's guidance, the number of Goblinmon born is the largest.

Originally a gregarious Digimon, its appearance is also suitable as a villain, so it can be considered making the best use of its talents.

The Goblinmon did not disappoint Liang Xing, and even gave Liang Xing a huge surprise.

The last time the Goblinmon attacked Qi Tian and A Lie, one of the Goblinmon escaped using A Lie's phone.

Originally, Liang Xing thought it had returned to the Digital World, because the underlying logic does not allow Digimon to wander outside.

But coincidentally, that Goblinmon was still recuperating—in order to cope with the possible battles upon returning to the Digital World, A Lie had turned off his phone and sent it for repair.

With the phone turned off, there was naturally no data flow, and with no flying camera to assist, the Goblinmon was trapped inside A Lie's phone.

By the time the phone was repaired, A Lie had already switched to a new phone for live streaming.

Under normal circumstances, the Goblinmon, which had reconnected to the data, should have continued to return to the Digital World.

But A Lie had already obtained the Digivice at this time. Strictly speaking, the network near him was also an extension of the Digital World, so the Goblinmon was naturally not considered a wanderer.

Moreover, one option was to brave thorns and fight bravely with other Digimon to return to the Digital World; the other was to have good food and drink with no supervision.

Even if the Goblinmon wasn't very smart, it would still make this choice.

And A Lie's Choromon had no chance to enter the network before. Even if it entered and stayed for a while recently, the difference in strength still made it impossible to discover the hidden Goblinmon.

It wasn't until A Lie was chased again today that the Goblinmon took advantage of his misfortune and successfully avenged himself!

Unfortunately, the brothers didn't stop there.

Thanks for the monthly ticket from Tian Yuan Di Xuan! Thank you for your support!
