Chapter 189 Dawn Guild
Chapter 189 Dawn Guild
Jiang Qi's faked death was like a meticulously planned game of chess.
This was not only to lower Bai Xiaoyu's guard, but also to find a better way to get all the players into the same camp.
In this way, they can escape the shadow of death in this life-or-death game.
On the surface, the Monster Guild continued to enjoy the amusement facilities in Paradise Lost as usual.
Jiang Qi, meanwhile, was secretly and quietly planning and strategizing.
While the carousel ticket collectors were busy cleaning up the mess, some guilds, knowing they had no hope of getting on the carousel, had no choice but to find another place to play.
A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from in front of the stall on the east side, his face covered by a strange, faceless mask, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
A banner was erected on the stall, with a large string of characters prominently displayed at the top.
Still hesitating about which activity to choose? Just follow me and you'll be victorious.
The Dawn Guild was the first to notice the existence of the stall.
Yu Zhi and her two remaining teammates walked aimlessly, racking their brains about what to do next.
Originally, there was an open space to the east, but a small stall suddenly appeared, which was hard to ignore.
She paused, then walked straight toward the stall.
"Hey, President Yu, where are you going? Did you find a project you like?!"
A slender hand gently tapped the banner, and a slow voice asked, "Excuse me, is this true?"
His tall, slender figure remained silent, exuding an air of mystery.
Silence means consent. Yu Zhi withdrew her fingers and gently rubbed the calluses on her fingertips.
Such help comes at a price, a fact that any intelligent person understands.
"Speak, since you've chosen to help, what do you need us to do?"
Yu Zhi's teammates remained skeptical, firmly believing that no one in the dungeon would offer help for no reason, and that fighting each other was the norm most of the time.
Dungeon monsters are even less likely to offer help on their own initiative.
They all shook their heads, "President Yu, even if we're down on our luck, it's not that bad..."
"Alright, alright, please be quiet for now. I have my own rhythm."
"As long as he can lead us out of the instance, the guild's overall losses may not be too severe."
Yu Zhi interrupted the two team members in a gentle voice.
The tall, slender figure finally moved. Jiang Qi stretched out his arm, gesturing for the other person to sit down.
"I don't need you to do anything earth-shattering, just enjoy your trip normally."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhi immediately pulled her teammates to sit down, her eyes fixed on Jiang Qi's well-defined fingers.
"Who are you, and why are you helping us?"
"Don't worry, I won't harm you."
Having already fallen into dire straits, the Dawn Guild had no choice but to trust the tall, slender figure wearing a faceless mask before them.
They still had no idea what kind of existence the person in front of them was in the instance.
At the same time, they also need Jiang Qi to show some sincerity.
But he couldn't guarantee it with his own life.
The two teammates who had narrowly escaped death were having a mental battle.
Gradually, Jiang Qi's stall attracted two more guilds.
They already knew the nature of the Nightmare Game, so they didn't believe Jiang Qi at all.
"You're not one of those players trying to scam people, are you? Why are you being so kind?"
"Let me make it clear beforehand that I am not extorting you, nor will I make things difficult for you."
"I will help you successfully escape the instance."
"And the compensation isn't much either."
"Please choose a guild that trusts me. After the dungeon ends, each member should bring their most valuable item or 100 points to this place."
As he spoke, Jiang Qi took out a crumpled piece of paper and handed it to Yu Zhi, the player in the lead, tacitly acknowledging her as the guild leader.
Yu Zhi accepted it without hesitation, her lips trembling as if she wanted to ask something, but she forced herself to suppress it.
"Don't ask any unnecessary questions, just start exchanging."
"Trading this for my own life is a sure win."
Some players, unwilling to give up, directly confronted Jiang Qi.
"Are you trying to make empty promises to us? It would be strange if you suddenly appeared here and set up a stall."
Jiang Qi didn't care at all, ignored his words, and continued talking.
It's quite difficult to completely convince these players.
"Your death in the game will not have a significant impact; it will not affect your life or death."
"But during your childhood, you are someone who needs extra care and protection."
This is a way out left for players who are struggling in the game.
"I can guarantee your survival. I think this deal will be entirely beneficial to you."
One guild decided to join in the fun, thinking they wouldn't lose anything.
"How can we believe you based on just your word?"
"You don't have to believe me. This is just a bet, a bet that I can get you out of the instance."
"If you die, I will get nothing. Besides, this is just a suggestion. Whether you agree or not is your personal business. I will not interfere."
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, they should take the gamble.
If they could escape death, they would gladly give up their most precious possessions.
Such a confident tone caused even the most determined players to waver, just like Yu Zhi.
At this moment, they had no choice but to believe in the faceless monster, with whom they had absolutely no connection.
However, if Jiang Qi doesn't produce anything of value to prove his point, then no one will believe what he says.
As if guessing the player's thoughts, Jiang Qi reacted quickly.
"I'll stake my life on it. Although my life isn't worth much, if I fail to leave the instance, you can still tear me to pieces, right?"
"Then just consider me a helpful monster."
"I'll be waiting for you at the usual place a day from now. I hope to hear good news from you. Come find me once you've made up your mind about this deal."
"I can also tell you the secrets behind Paradise Lost, which you will find interesting."
"Not only will you all survive and leave the instance without a single one missing, but you will also receive a high amount of points."
Jiang Qi's mouth was dry from talking. He coughed, pressed his fingers to his chin, and waved his hand to indicate that his time was up and he should pack up and leave.
He simply took the flag and disappeared before their eyes, leaving the players, still bewildered, staring at each other in disbelief.
