Xia Jing retracted his gaze and gave them a gentle smile: "Well, he is not a monster."
Jia Qing and Liu Yi: Damn, isn't he a monster? How could he be so ruthless? This smiling guy is so scary!
As if he had heard their thoughts, Xia Jing blinked and said innocently, "I controlled my strength and didn't even lose any points."
Song Yang, who had just had ten points deducted by the system, twitched his mouth: So you are very good?
The smile on Xia Jing's lips widened: "Same here."
Song Yang, Jia Qing, and Liu Yi: Do you have the ability to read minds?!
Jin Nan reacted, his eyes widened, and he got up from the ground in disbelief. He ran over, pushed aside a few people and looked inside the broadcasting room.
He turned his head and asked angrily, "You... do you know?"
The other three looked at him.
Know?
Know what?
Xia Jing also looked at Jin Nan, his eyes narrowed with a smile: "Your ability is very interesting. Is it control? Or is it just the ability to push objects through the air?"
Jin Nan clenched his fists.
Xia Jing: "Ah, it seems to be the latter."
Jin Nan: "You——"
Song Yang frowned and quickly glanced at Jin Nan: "He has superpowers?"
Jia Qing opened his mouth wide: "Is he a person with super powers?"
Jin Nan was panting and his expression was changing.
After entering Smiley City, countless ordinary human players realized that there are indeed many people with super powers in this world.
As long as you enter the dungeon a few more times, everyone will always meet one or two people - some can hear other people's thoughts, some have the ability to see through others, and the abilities of psychics vary.
Of course, no matter what the environment, people with special abilities are always a minority, but the density of people with special abilities in Smiley City is definitely much greater than that in the real world. This has led countless players to speculate, does Smiley City have standards for selecting players?
——There is no solution, and no one has found the answer so far.
"Taking the initiative to attack will earn you more points after you survive, but taking the initiative to attack also means risking your life."
Xia Jing's rough voice echoed in the quiet corridor.
He picked up the microphone, held it in his arms, lowered his eyes and stroked it gently, as if he was stroking his toy.
Song Yang's eyes swept across the microphone.
Jin Nan stared at him intently, realizing that his purpose had long been exposed by Xia Jing and that he was most likely being fooled. His face looked extremely ugly.
"Is there any way to ensure your own safety and earn more points at the same time? Although you possess superpowers, you also know that they are barely enough to protect you. The best your powers can do is to allow someone standing very close to you to be pushed in front of a monster with a simple push."
As Xia Jing spoke, Liu Yi and Jia Qing's faces darkened.
Anyone with such a "partner" around would be in a very dangerous situation.
Xia Jing was still chuckling: "But that's enough, isn't it?"
He raised his head.
Jin Nan gritted his teeth and his face flushed.
"Before you act, you'll assess your opponent's abilities, whether they possess powerful items, or whether they have high experience points. Once you've made a rough mental assessment and feel they're inferior to you, you'll act and feed them to the monster."
"If the opponent's abilities are ultimately stronger than you anticipated, you can use your special ability to deliver a finishing blow just as they're about to finish off the monster. Your ability can evade detection, and the system won't determine that you killed the player."
"If the opponent's abilities turn out to be weaker than you expected, then that's fine. Even if they die, you can use their battle experience to determine if you can handle such a monster. If not, you can simply run away."
"And your ultimate goal isn't to gain points by 'taking the initiative'."
"What you want is the human head, and the monster's body and attack parts."
Jia Qing and Liu Yi finally realized what was happening.
The parts of a monster's body can be roughly divided into two categories: attack parts and other parts of the body.
Attack parts can be picked directly from monsters. These "monster props" have many strange abilities, and many capable players will go to great lengths to obtain them while clearing dungeons.
Although the monster body pieces may seem useless, any player who pays close attention to the developments in Smiley City, even if they have never entered a safe house, knows the existence of the safe house and what the monster body pieces mean!
As long as players have monster body pieces that meet the standards, they will have the opportunity to enter the safe house when they encounter it in the dungeon in the future. They can also use monster body pieces to directly exchange for monster props that are completely unavailable in the official supermarket of Smiley City!
That's right – the only weapons sold in official supermarkets are ropes, knives, axes, etc.
But the small supermarket in the safe house is full of a wide variety of monster props!
Therefore, the monster's body parts and attacking parts are of great value to the players. Jin Nan obviously also had this in mind, but he insidiously treated Xia Jing as a knife in his hand!
What Xia Jing said almost hit the mark on Jin Nan's mind. He was so angry that veins were bulging out of his forehead.
He was afraid of death, but being afraid of death also meant that he wanted to quickly accumulate 10,000 points and leave this damn scary world.
If Teacher Zhang was a monster, then he would have occupied an excellent position in that classroom.
Eight players are in the same place, and he is in the last row, farthest away from danger. He can wait until most of the people are dead before rushing forward, getting as many head points as possible, and then find a way to get the monster body.
But Teacher Zhang is not a monster.
Later, Song Yang and the other two organized a group to go to the teacher's office, and Jin Nan also tried to get involved.
After all, if Song Yang and his team really managed to defeat the monsters, then the players could leave the dungeon.
If Jin Nan did nothing, his copy evaluation score would not be very high.
Even if all the other two people except Song Yang died, plus the heads of Huang Mocai and the other three, there would not be much left.
There would be no place for him in the monster's body.
Then wouldn't this copy be a waste of time?
It was at that time that Xia Jing proposed the campus radio room, and everyone realized that the announcer in the radio room might also be a monster.
Jin Nan quickly weighed the pros and cons and chose to follow Xia Jing.
His plan was very improvisational and rough. He even hesitated in the middle, but Xia Jing seemed to be deaf and could not hear his shouts. Jin Nan felt that it was God's will and that the fat man would die here today.
He thought about the whole process very quickly, so he thought he was doing it without anyone noticing. But now it seems that this young man named Xia Jing had guessed his plan from the beginning and played along with him.
If there really is a monster in the broadcasting room, judging from Xia Jing's relaxed look, all the benefits must have been taken by this guy alone!
Jin Nan was so annoyed when he thought of this that he reached out to grab Xia Jing's collar, but the next second, the black stand-up microphone in Xia Jing's hand suddenly cracked from the top, and a row of fine teeth appeared in the crack.
The pole suddenly stretched out, the upright microphone opened its mouth wide, and with a "hehehe" laugh, it bit Jin Nan's arm hard.
There was a crisp and loud "click" sound, and blood splattered out. Jin Nan wailed and struggled frantically with his arms. After several attempts, he finally got his arms out of the mouth of the microphone. By then, large pieces of flesh had been bitten off, and his white bones were faintly exposed.
Liu Yi and Jia Qing were both stunned by this sudden change.
Song Yang was also stunned. Although he had noticed the microphone and guessed something, he thought that since Xia Jing could take it out, it must be "dead"...
Jin Nan fell to the ground and rolled around. His face turned pale with pain, his whole body was sweating, and he kept groaning in pain!
The vertical microphone was still opening and closing its mouth with a "clicking" sound, and its two rows of teeth made a terrifying sound, mixed with "hissing" and "hissing" breathing sounds, as if it was still craving for more flesh and blood, as ferocious as a beast.
A nice hand landed on top of the stand-up microphone.
The microphone froze, and the mouth stopped moving, with a thin strip of bright red flesh dangling between its teeth.
The hand stroked gently again.
...The microphone obediently closed its mouth and slowly retracted its stem. In one second, it became a proper-looking microphone again.
Jia Qing and Liu Yi took a breath, took a step back, and their faces suddenly changed: "What, what is this thing--"
Xia Jing curled his lips and smiled: "I said that announcers are not monsters, but I didn't say that there are no monsters in the broadcasting room."
The announcer's voice was smooth and normal, completely different from the rough male voice they heard from the campus loudspeakers.
That's because the real monster is the stand-mount microphone.
It is this that changes the announcer's voice, adding a magical and brainwashing element.
As long as it releases the words "don't think about it", players will involuntarily want to think more.
Any other sound released through it will disturb the players and make them uneasy.
Jia Qing and Liu Yi had already huddled together in a corner—
No, what they meant was, are you holding a living monster like a pet dog?!
You're just holding a living monster and chatting with them?!
Is this a human? Is this a human? Is this a human?!
Song Yang was speechless for a moment.
He looked back at Jin Nan, who was lying on the ground and almost fainted from the pain. After a moment of silence, he gave Jia Qing a look, indicating that he should take out the medical supplies from the space bag.
Song Yang is not a saint, and he doesn't have too many good intentions.
If they were fighting now, let alone Jin Nan who just lost an arm, even if he died, he would be dead, and Song Yang would not be able to take care of him or save him. What's more, who would not care about life and death after entering a horror world?
But now is not that time after all.
Of course, he didn't say much about Xia Jing's actions.
Jin Nan deserved it, and the young man in front of him obviously could not be judged by common sense.
Song Yang just closed his eyes and felt it.
The game ends when the monster is killed or put into the player's space bag.
If the game ends, the player will be given the option to exit the copy in their consciousness, but now there is no such option.
I think so.
The monster in a two-star copy cannot be just a microphone monster.
The Microphone Monster is just a small secondary monster.
When Song Yang opened his eyes, he saw Xia Jing frowning and carefully stuffing the microphone into the sachet-like space bag, then putting it back into his trouser pocket. He couldn't help but laugh.
This person looks weird and doesn't seem to have any of the emotions of an ordinary person, but his eagerness to collect monsters is childish and cute.
Of course, Song Yang would also collect monster body parts and attack parts in the dungeon, but he was too lazy to compete with Xia Jing for just this one microphone monster.
He only asked: "How did you guess that Jin Nan has superpowers?"
Xia Jing calmly analyzed, "His intention to use me is obvious, and his method of verifying that I am weaker than his is just a brief test and observation. A person must have something in him to be so conceited."
"If his 'stuff' is a monster item he obtained from another dungeon, then everyone knows that using it on a player will be judged as cannibalism by the system, with points deducted and the player locked up in a dark room. The same applies if he personally frames a player. Besides that, his only reliance is on some of his abilities that allow him to evade system surveillance."
Song Yang raised his eyebrows: "Then how can you be sure that his ability is just a 'gentle push' and will not make you worse?"
"If he really has such a powerful ability, does he need to drag others down with him?" Xia Jing raised his lips.
If the monster really had such a powerful ability, with Jin Nan's greedy personality, he would have rushed forward to cut it into pieces and put all the parts of the monster into his pocket.
Indeed, Song Yang could probably guess the answer without asking.
But he could tell from Xia Jing's tone that this person was really playing the game, even playing with the players.
Song Yang shook his head, not sure if he felt more surprised or weird. He kicked open the door to the broadcasting room, looked around, and said to Liu Yi and Jia Qing, who had helped Jin Nan treat his wounds, "We still have some time. Let's search here together and see if there are any other clues."
The broadcasting room was not very large, and it took four people just over ten minutes to complete the entire inspection.
There was no clear gain, except that Liu Yi found a booklet of school rules and stared at it.
The author has something to say:
Microphone Monster: I'm very good.jpg
