Chapter 5 Gold Coin Burst

Happy Superman was dumbfounded.

What just happened?
Before he could even cast his spell, Chen Lai had already teleported in front of him, and the chair smashed directly into his eye.

A monster? This man.

Or is it that this guy's equipment for the base is much more expensive than his own?
He ordered six sets?
But isn't this a new instance? Normal players would only spend entry gear to test the waters first. Who would be foolish enough to spend a fortune on an instance without any major events?

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Happy Superman was sent flying backward by the heavy force.

Without the power of the curse, the cursed spirit is indeed invisible.

However, the cursed spirit is an objective existence, and it can withstand physical damage. As long as Chen can find the right position and hit it accurately, it will be fine.

Chen Lai chuckled. "Who made the players' IDs always displayed? Their heads are right below their IDs; it's hard to miss."

The boxes are clearly marked for you, why aren't you checking them?

"Wait, wait! I have inside information. If I tell you, can I save my life?"

The one-eyed cursed spirit slumped in the deep crater inside the Metropolitan Police Department, spitting out purple blood as he waved to [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon] while coughing up blood.

He was truly terrified. It would have been so much better to just retreat; the 50,000 worth of equipment could have been saved for later use. Now look what happened—he's run into the Metropolitan Police Department!

"Blocking X" is a term from the game Deep Sea, referring to the act of a malicious player ambushing others in key areas or near the evacuation point to gain a large advantage with a small investment.

"You also have inside information?"

Chen Lai's punch was a little slower, so he changed it to a grab, lifting Happy Superman up completely.

Toyokawa Yosuke and Kyoko, who were watching from the sidelines, Chen Lai was fighting against thin air, and he did it so realistically that he seemed to have such great strength in grabbing the air.

But could that strange dent in the wall really have been made by punching it?
After living in Shibuya for thirty years, Officer Kyoko feels her worldview has collapsed.

Regardless of what the onlookers thought, all Chen Lai wanted now was for this "Happy Superman" to give him a ton of coins!

Before making big money from the storyline, we'll just take a couple of bites from the players, treating it as a practice run.

"Yes! Yes! I've been in this instance for 27 days, and I was planning to leave today..."

Happy Superman looked at the fist the size of a sandbag in front of him with a mournful face, feeling deeply regretful.

"Tsk." Chen Lai interrupted his nonsense.

Seeing Chen Lai's impatience, Happy Superman quickly got to the point: "The Shibuya Security Building, the building next to the Hanzo Gate Line, has been seen by players today, with an unfamiliar sorcerer coming and going!"

"Those two sorcerers were acting suspiciously. One was an old woman with gray hair, and the other was a young biker gang member with blond hair!"

Chen Lai squinted. What a coincidence?

How did you find out about this?

"Forum, are you really a newbie? The first batch of veteran players here all used the Deep Sea Forum. They all came here to make money. Before we got our big stuff, we were all friends."

Chen Lai squinted. He roughly understood what the other party meant. The relationship between Deep Sea players was very complicated. They were neither purely enemies nor purely friends, but constantly changing.

In the early stages of a dungeon, players share some less crucial information to explore the dungeon. However, when major events occur and NPCs start dropping gold coins, their relationship gradually turns hostile because you don't know if the other player has valuable items in their inventory.

As for the [Deep Sea Forum], the original owner had registered and had an account, but Chen Lai received too much information after transmigrating and missed it.

"Thank you for your message, it saved me a lot of time."

Chen Lai thanked the other party and put down "Happy Superman".

"Need not……"

Before he could finish saying the last "thank you," a fist the size of a sandbag was thrown out, blasting the one-eyed cursed spirit to smithereens.

We're all players, surely we understand these little tricks?
What friends, what enemies? Players come in here for the money. Now that the blue cursed spirit has been crushed by Chen Lai, how could it not drop gold coins? The cursed power dissipated, and the blue cursed spirit's corpse turned into black ash and disappeared into the world, leaving only a round cursed spirit ball.

[Spellball: An aggregate of equipment carried by player Happy Superman, containing the spell power (wear) of the Fear Insect and C-grade spell power (wear), with a total value of 30000 yuan]

"There's even wear and tear. Is it brand new? As for this ball... it seems to be a product of Xia Youjie's spell manipulation technique. However, it's good that it's easy to carry."

Chen Lai gave a fair assessment and then put away the cursed spirit ball worth 30,000.

Now, Chen Lai's equipment is worth a total of 180,000, including himself and the newly acquired Cursed Spirit Orb.

The first step to recouping your investment.

"What was that light just now?"

Yosuke Toyokawa has sharp eyes; she saw the scene of Chen Lai taking in the cursed spirit orb.

Chen Lai ignored her and sat back down in front of the monitoring computer. This time, his goal was much clearer.

"The Hanzomon Line...from Shibuya Ward to Oshiage Station in Sumida Ward?"

Chen Lai squinted at the computer monitor. He really knew nothing about the terrain of Japan, and it was very difficult for him to find it now.

A stray lock of hair was tied up, bringing with it the scent of lilies.

"What are you looking for?" Yosuke Toyokawa sat down next to Chen Lai and asked him, tilting his head.

"Is the Shibuya security building visible on the surveillance footage?" Chen Lai asked her directly.

"Yes, it's right next to the Shibuya intersection, in this building. It has a glass observation elevator. Do you want to go there?"

"Thank you... Officer, come here for a moment."

Chen glanced at the somewhat shy Yosuke Toyokawa, then turned and waved to Kyoko, who was studying the deep pit in the wall.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Kyoko, her police uniform crumpled, was in a bad mood, and even knowing that the man in front of her was a monster, she still didn't treat him with any disrespect.

Her sense of justice wouldn't allow her to bow down to Chen Lai and his lawless thugs.

"This girl is now in your hands; her mission is complete." Chen Lai said to himself, ignoring the other party's attitude.

"Huh!?" Yosuke Toyokawa's beautiful eyes widened. What did this mean? Was this scumbag going to dump her?

"My suggestion is that you two buy tickets now and leave Shibuya. Don't come back tomorrow or the day after. You can watch the news, especially TV Tokyo."

Chen Lai casually gave the instructions, glancing at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

At 9 p.m. on October 30, there were still three hours until the next day, and 23 hours and 30 minutes until the start of the Shibuya Incident.

"So be it."

Chen Lai stood up, grabbed a blue police jacket that someone had left behind from the chair, put it on, and then made as if to leave.

"Wait a minute..." Yosuke Toyokawa raised his hand to stop her, but Kyoko grabbed it.

“That’s just how men are.” A wise glint shone in Xingzi’s eyes, her tone detached.

"They only care about their so-called great achievements, and have no place for women."

"However, what they call advice is actually an order. If you don't follow it, your fate will be very tragic."

Toyokawa's hand fell down unwillingly.
