I am the one running the game

Chapter 679: Royal Family = Source of Corruption
To be honest, Lu Xingshi never expected things to turn out like this.

One day, he would actually arouse public anger, and this anger would be aroused in a way that Lu Xingshi could not have expected.

"Is there something wrong with your brain or is it a stamp of thought?" Lu Xingshi didn't know what to say for a moment. He had slaughtered noble families and wealthy families, but he had never encountered such a thing. As a result, because of a single sentence, he had to go on a killing spree.

In Lu Xingshi's hands, Yunhe Kun turned into an endless artillery shell, and a large amount of water cannon torrents instantly submerged all those who rushed towards him.

He doesn't care whether the other party is a civilian or a guard. After all, these people are all professionals with extraordinary abilities.

When Lu Xingshi launched the attack, Gu Lianglian remained calm and looked at Lu Xingshi with a sneer.

She just couldn't believe that a peasant would dare to hurt her, a noble and honorable royal relative.

But soon, her confidence was not so strong anymore, because she was almost affected several times. If her followers had not sacrificed themselves to save her, she might have been hurt.

This made Gu Lianglian very angry. What made her angry was of course not the death of her followers. In her opinion, followers were not even as good as dogs. So if they died, they died. Anyway, she would not lack people to serve as dogs.

What made her angry was that Lu Xingshi actually dared to threaten her.

That’s right, she felt that Lu Xingshi was threatening her, otherwise how could he have almost harmed her so many times?

"Everyone is dead, what else do you have to rely on?" Lu Xingshi stepped on the blood and calmly looked at Gu Lianglian, who was the only one left. The other party still looked fearless.

"Rely on? I am a member of the royal family. This is my greatest support."

"You dare to hurt me?" Gu Lianglian said proudly.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he nodded and said, "It really won't hurt you."

He was not wrong, because he killed directly.

When Gu Lianglian heard this, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. A peasant is a peasant, how dare he go against the royal family.

"In that case, I will punish you by cutting yourself into pieces. I will make you pay for it if I cut you into pieces less than one." Gu Lianglian looked at Lu Xingshi with contempt in her eyes.

Since you refused to commit suicide when I asked you to, don't blame her for being ruthless.

She wanted to watch Lu Xingshi cut himself into pieces and die, only then could she calm down her anger.

As for the dead, to her, they were nothing more than a few dead untouchables and dogs. She could get as many as she wanted when she returned.

"Ah?" Lu Xingshi had never expected that the other party would actually say this. He now doubted whether the other party had low IQ or had a problem with his brain.

If it is the former, then it should be his fault. After all, with the aura of reduced intelligence, it is normal for him to have a low IQ.

But if it is the latter, it definitely has nothing to do with Lu Xingshi, but she really thinks so.

"Do all of you royal relatives share the same idea as you?" Lu Xingshi asked curiously.

"It seems that you still have evil intentions and dare not obey my orders." Gu Lianglian felt that Lu Xingshi didn't understand what people said. He was asked to commit suicide but he was unwilling to do it, and now he would not do it even if he was cut into pieces. Now he dared to do such a lawless thing. He must be crazy.

Otherwise, why wouldn't he listen to her?

"We can't communicate effectively." Lu Xingshi sighed. He asked her a question, but this was the answer he got.

"I guess you don't have any last words, so I'll just send you on your way."

As soon as Lu Xingshi finished speaking, a water blade emerged and directly cut off Gu Lianglian's head.

When the other person's head was broken, her expression was still one of disdain and contempt. She had never thought that Lu Xingshi still had the option of killing her.

[You killed the LV6 Source of Corruption, and gained +600 talent points, 1 Ancient Corruption Essence, and spiritual treasure materials: Heart of the Ancient Corrupted, Holy Spirit, and Ancient Corrupted...]

"What a pity, there's only...this much!!!" Lu Xingshi's voice was sharp.

He had to kill so many professionals to get 600 talent points, but it turned out that only one royal relative had 600 points.
"Is this reasonable? This is not reasonable."

At this time, Lu Xingshi finally understood where to fill the gap in the many talent points he needed.

It turned out that he was forced to kill the royal family members.

"The source of corruption is still the sub-body. It seems that the world has fallen to such a state, and it is the fault of the Dali Dynasty."

"The royal family is the descendant, and that empress must be the real source of corruption."

"At level 6, there are 600 talent points. The higher the level, the more talent points there are. It's really tempting."

Lu Xingshi quickly left the scene, and then found a safe place. He first fed the ancient fallen essence to Yunhezhu.

Then the Yunhe Pearl was directly upgraded to the next level.

The Ancient Corrupted Essence can directly increase the level by one level regardless of the experience difference.

It does look very precious, but in fact it is not precious at all to Lu Xingshi. There are many royal relatives in the Dali Dynasty. Not to mention others, there are two in Licheng.

Moreover, her level is higher than Gu Lianglian, whom Lu Xingshi killed, and can provide more talent points and spiritual treasure materials.

Then, these ancient fallen materials were sacrificed and refined into it.

As for the 600 points of talent, Lu Xingshi naturally maxed out his current talent points, and then there were more than 100 points left.

[Weapon Spirit Enhancement (200), Spirit Enhancement (1000)]

When Lu Xingshi saw this, he realized that he couldn’t click on it again, and even the number to strengthen the weapon spirit was not enough.

This time there were still two talents, but it was a new enhancement, which surprised him a little.

He thought it would be a follow-up talent to the water source series.

"The ancient fallen material should be able to provide a lot of amplification, but it hasn't been refined yet."

The longer the ritual time is, the greater the improvement to the spiritual treasure's skills will be.

Lu Xingshi doesn't think much of the ability of the Yunhe Pearl. Whether it is restoring physical strength or the dew of purification or life, they are just icing on the cake for him. Instead, after the skills are amplified, the attributes of the Yunhe Pearl can be enhanced.

This is the ability he really needs. Although it is a bit of a waste of time, when he was still a Dew Pearl, his ability was basically useless. It was a little better in the Yunhe Pearl stage and could release a river between the clouds. However, this was only a byproduct of Yunhe Kun's appearance.

If he didn't summon Yunhe Kun, he would have no way to bring out Yunjian Tianhe.

If the Yunhe Pearl were to evolve again, perhaps this defect could be corrected.

Lingbao Masters have many advantages, but also many disadvantages, and many of them are fatal.

If Lu Xingshi hadn't been cheating and hadn't had enough experience and ability, he would have been killed by Dew Pearl at the beginning.

The talent tree brought by absorbing the world core is indeed powerful enough, but the premise of this power is to have enough talent points. Without enough talent points, it will just be a waste.

Moreover, he was certain that the next time he reached the talent level of Yunhe Pearl's evolution, the talent points required would be enormous.

The best way is to connect them together, and then use gold coins as modifications to get it done in one step.

Of course, gold coins can be used to modify talent points, and Lu Xingshi can already import the data of the main account. The only function of the talent tree is to serve as a way to graduate the character in this game.

In fact, compared to the talent tree, Lu Xingshi wanted to extract its origin for research, that is, the core of the world.

In Lu Xingshi's perception, this thing is like a high-concentration world force aggregate that binds the world's rules. It is equivalent to a large energy source and database.

If he succeeds in analyzing it, then this world... will not fall into his hands. He has to get rid of the alien demons and the Dali Dynasty first. Otherwise, even if he gets it, it will only be an empty shell and will have no value at all.

"I have finally completed the refining of the heart of the ancient fallen one. It is worthy of the ancient prefix and the quality of the Holy Spirit." Lu Xingshi struggled for so long, but in the end he completed one material.

Before, there were 18,000 of them, and now they have all been refined. The difference is not only in quality, but also in level.

“But speaking of which, since the royal family members are the descendants of the source of corruption, why are they at such a low level?” Lu Xingshi was quite puzzled.

It can't be that difficult to upgrade, this shouldn't be the case.

...

"He's dead. A member of the royal family is actually dead. This time it's a big deal." Liu Shen's face was filled with fear, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Not far from him was Gu Lianglian, whose head and body were separated.

This is the first time such a terrible thing has happened in the ten thousand years since the empress came to power.

There had never been a case of death of a royal family member in the past.

"This is no longer a villain, but a national evildoer..." He was afraid that he was sent by Gu Liangxiu to kill such a person.

No matter how lawless and disregarding the law a person is, he would not dare to kill a member of the royal family. If such a noble person died in Li City, I'm afraid the entire Li City would have to be buried with him. No, not only Li City, but even the surrounding cities would have to be buried with him, except for the royal family. No one, whether human or animal, would be left alive.

"No, this matter must be reported to the Lord as soon as possible. It is no longer something I can handle." Liu Shen swallowed his saliva. He wanted to move, but he was unable to move because of fear. Even his legs were weak.

He actually knew that once he reported the matter to Gu Liangxiu, he... no, his entire family would die as a result.

Who made him see Gu Lianglian's body? Just seeing it was a great sin.

But he had to be loyal to the royal family. Even if he died, he had to tell Gu Liangxiu about this matter so that she could try to reduce her guilt in this huge disaster. In this way, it would be worth it even if his whole family died.

"Move, move! I can't stay here any longer." He roared in a low voice, then tremblingly took out a dagger-like equipment and stabbed it into his thigh.

As the pain broke out, he slowly began to move, heading towards the upper city at an extremely slow pace.
