I rely on copies to build infrastructure

Zhang Hongtu was racking his brains to think of a countermeasure, but the situation waited for no one. Before he could figure out a solution, the midnight bell rang mercilessly.

The bamboo pole male consul reappeared at the entrance of the food street.

He staggered, seeing Astad who had appeared in the underground city yesterday, a smirk appeared on his pale face.

"Good evening, Mr. Asted, it is a great honor to have you again."

The bamboo pole man looked behind the opponent.

"Why didn't you see the leader of your society?"

"I heard that Mr. Barbaroa came to my jurisdiction today. I planned to come up to greet him in person, but the city lord asked me to discuss the steam festival. It's this time when I'm busy, so I can only neglect it."

He said he was sorry, but his bamboo pole-like body stood up straight, without any embarrassing movements.

Astide disagreed with his political faction, and fought countless times overtly and secretly, knowing the other party's character well.He was angry in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, only smiled.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Barbaroa has a big heart, and he won't care about such trivial things."

"Today is an impromptu idea. Before that, your party has repeatedly said that the steam festival is in dismal business. We should also come to support it."

In terms of verbal disputes, Ganas is not Astide's opponent. He didn't take advantage of it, but was pissed off.

But he couldn't tear himself apart right away, so he had to vent his anger on the inferior people who were better at bullying. The civilized stick flew up, pointing at several players and cursing.

"You, you still have your things?! Are you still waiting for the master to ask you to send them up?!"

So all the players served the food like quails.

Today, three stores are sold out. In addition to No. 6 and No. 17, No. 10 shop is also a sudden force. Store No. 10 is a combination of two women and one man. The division of labor is clear and the number of people is dominant. It has successfully entered the first echelon of sales in this field.

These three stores could not produce finished products to Ganas, but they avoided the disaster of being beaten by the Bamboo Consul.

The rest of the players were in bad luck. Ganas was in a particularly bad mood tonight. A little problem would be magnified countless times.

Ganas didn't feel much happy about teaching the inferior people a lesson.

It is difficult for people living in the wasteland world to have positive emotions. They face a dark gray world every day. They are depressed and dull, and there is no hope. It is strange to be in a good mood.

So he decided to start his favorite project, punishing inferior people who don't work hard.

He walked back and forth on the food street twice, determined the scores of all the shops, and finally stood in front of the No. 7 shop.

"5.1?!"

Ganus' cane tapped the metal display.

"I remember this one. I used molasses yesterday and got the highest score of the day..."

"You three, you really disappointed Master Ganas!"

As he spoke, he knocked the display board away with his cane, and his cold and sinister gaze swept over the three players.

"Yesterday you passed the test with molasses. What did I say, master? This is opportunism! I reminded you to work hard and don't always think about taking shortcuts... How did you repay the master in the end? You are obsessed with it! It's a fluke ! Not enterprising!"

"I'll give you one day. What you took out is still yesterday's stuff. I think you didn't pay attention to the great Wasteland City. You must be punished!"

Zhang Hongtu was terrified when he heard this, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He had a hunch that something bad might happen this time.

This is his second dungeon, the first time he cleared the level in a daze, but overall there is no danger, but it is a bit scary, how can it be like this one that kills people as soon as it comes up? !

He peeked at his companions standing beside him, only to find that the other two were not worried at all, and they just lowered their heads in a look of fear, as if the threat from the Bamboo Archon was just a routine procedure.

Just listen to Ganas going on.

"However, my lord is still kind, and I will treat each of you equally. Just...according to yesterday's rules, the three of you will choose one person to be punished, and the remaining two will make up for it tomorrow!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hongtu felt a "thud" in his heart.

The time he was most worried about had arrived, just as he had expected, the bald mercenary and the tall, thin man pointed at him in unison without hesitation.

"My lord consul, we have already elected him, and he will bear all the punishments."

Zhang Hongtu's fingers that had just been lifted trembled and fell down again, and his whole body felt cold.

He should have discovered it a long time ago, this is simply a conspiracy, a conspiracy to treat him as a scapegoat!

The reaction of those two people was too proficient, it was definitely not the first time they came in, and it was definitely not the first time to form a team, they were targeting a novice fool like themselves!

On the surface, they form a team of three, but in fact, the two have already formed an alliance, and they only focus on gathering materials. If they encounter someone who needs to be sent to death, they will push the remaining person to block the disaster, and then eat the meat alone!

When the dungeon comes out, they can say that Zhang Hongtu committed suicide by committing a taboo, and then enshrines his hard-earned gains to the master. These two people just treat Zhang Hongtu as a working machine!

Master... Why did the master introduce such a person to him?Their evil deeds...Master, master, old man...do you know? !

"Oh, it's you."

Ganas turned his head, the four compound eyes locked on Zhang Hongtu.

"Tsk tsk, the texture and color of your body probably won't look good."

"But there's no other way. Who made your friend choose you? I hope your body fat can be more fire-resistant. It's your last value."

Zhang Hongtu was in despair, he began to tremble uncontrollably, and he couldn't even stand still.

For the first time in his life, he felt that death was only one step away, and he could almost hear the sound of the arm joints of the bamboo pole consul.

If he doesn't do anything... he will be like the two players from yesterday. His bones were broken, his flesh and internal organs were mixed, and he was thrown into the melting pot and burned to ashes.

This time, it will definitely die!

Zhang Hongtu gritted his teeth and viciously turned the jewel on the wrench finger.

The next moment, time suddenly froze.

The finger on Zhang Hongtu's finger flashed with dazzling light, his plump figure disappeared, replaced by a faint shadow, right where he was originally standing, and gradually condensed into a solid body after a few seconds.

But everyone didn't realize that they were like statues, maintaining the state a second ago, except for Xi Ren and Qin Lu who was held by him.

Qin Xiaolu blinked, still a little confused.

At that moment just now, although he knew something was going to happen, he was completely helpless until Xiaoren's fingers grabbed him.

Just like being awakened suddenly during a nightmare, Qin Lu's mind suddenly cleared the moment his fingertips touched him.

Before he had time to say anything, he witnessed an astonishing scene. Zhang Hongtu, who was standing opposite Ganas, disappeared, and was replaced by another strange middle-aged woman, whom he had never seen before, and definitely not the one in this game Any player!

Qin Lu shook his head and found that he could move freely.

He wanted to take a closer look, but his hand was held by Xiaoren. He raised his eyes and saw the other person shaking his head at him.

--Do not move.

Xi Xiaoren said to him silently.

Qin Lu didn't dare to move.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and found that the middle-aged woman had deep forehead lines and a vicissitudes of life. She was holding a basket in her hand, as if she was selling wild vegetables.

But like other players, she was frozen in time and remained motionless.

Her body appeared little by little, gradually becoming a reality from a phantom, and there were also unknown fluctuations during the period, as if the energy that pulled her over was not stable, and it took a long time to transmit completely.

Time began to flow slowly.

Standing in the field, Qin Lu felt a strange feeling he had never experienced before, as if his perception had been magnified countless times in an instant, and any changes around him had been deliberately elongated, entering a slow-motion state.

So he witnessed the bamboo pole consul, reaching out his hand at an extremely slow speed, grabbing the middle-aged woman who appeared on the scene inexplicably, and raised it high.

The bamboo basket in the woman's hand fell to the ground inch by inch and rolled to Qin Lu's feet.Its owner's body was folded, broken bones and blood sprayed in the air, forming a blood rain composed of countless small particles.

The middle-aged woman screamed in pain, but no one could hear her.She was stuffed into the cannon barrel, thrown into the big melting furnace with a bang, and turned into an orange fireball. The dots of light erupted suddenly, and then slowly dimmed in the night.

A life, just like that, disappeared without a sound.

Qin Lu's eyes swept over everyone's faces.Some were horrified, some were fortunate, and some people looked at Boss Zhang's companion sympathetically.But the two of them were very calm, with no expression on their slightly drooping faces, as if the scene in front of them had long been accustomed to them.

The fire light disappeared, and a satisfied smile appeared on the face of the bamboo pole man Ganas little by little.He slowly retracted his cane, and when he was about to open his mouth to say something, time stopped again, and Zhang Hongtu's figure slowly returned to the field.

Everything is back to normal.

Ganas proudly intimidated the players again. The players were as cowardly as quails, and they cast sympathetic eyes on the trio of Boss Zhang.

From the beginning to the end, no one found out that the bamboo pole male consul had burned the wrong person, and no one questioned why the No. [-] store that burned one person still had three clerks, as if they had four players before.

Poor that unlucky middle-aged woman who has become a scapegoat for no apparent reason, and no one has discovered his existence.

Qin Lu: ...? !

Qin Lu blinked, feeling that everything in front of him was unreal.

He now finally knows where the dungeon's failure point is!Because of some kind of mysterious existence, cheating players like Boss Zhang can directly pull people in from outside the dungeon to die for him!

No wonder the fault prompt says "Player data fault"... Could it be a fault? !Those who should have reduced their staff did not, and those who died were innocent people outside the system.The system data has decreased, but the number of people in the game has always remained the same. If it is like this every round, how many people have died in vain after running the dungeon over the years!

Thinking of the woman's silent wailing just now, Qin Lu's heart was filled with anger, and for the first time in his life, he felt that the work of restoring copies was valuable.

Those people are too much!
