We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 234 Exploitable Bugs, Negotiations at the High Level (4k)

Tang Wan clearly sensed that in some inconspicuous corner of this city, a terrifying supernatural force had invaded, turning everything into a deathly gray.

This supernatural force can even transcend the boundaries between the eerie city and the dilapidated main city, bypassing specially made tokens.

Even a typical seventh-tier challenger couldn't achieve this level of skill.

"How is this possible? As far as I know, there shouldn't be such a ruthless person..."

Tang Wan, who was never one to show her emotions, couldn't help but change her expression at this moment. Just then, a new encrypted message appeared on her phone.

After reading the message, Tang Wan's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she thought to herself, "Lu Ming?"

"I never expected it to be him..."

···········
A moment later.

Lu Ming and Tang Song arrived at the top floor of the central building together.

This is the headquarters of the Central Chamber of Commerce, towering into the clouds. Passersby can only look up at it, and the top is hidden in the clouds and mist, giving people a sense of etherealness.

Tang and Song were somewhat nervous.

At his level, he was simply not qualified to have contact with a big shot like the president of the chamber of commerce.

On the contrary, Lu Ming appeared very calm.

After all, no matter how strong he is, he is still just a challenger in this God's Space.

Others may have their own special methods, but he may not be without them.

Moreover, Lu Ming was confident that his abilities were far superior to those of the so-called seventh-tier challengers.

Especially after spending so long in the mysterious world of resurgence, he had seen many high-ranking figures, and every single one of them had to act like a grandson in front of him.
The feelings of tension and fear are rarely seen in Lu Ming now.

“Mr. Lu, please have a seat. My name is Tang Wan. If you don’t mind, you can call me Xiao Tang.”

As the president of the Central Chamber of Commerce, Tang Wan was not as aggressive as one might imagine; on the contrary, she was very peaceful, giving people the illusion that she was easy to get along with.

In fact, many big shots are like this. When you don't infringe on their interests, they are very easy to talk to and seem very amiable, so much so that most ordinary people are deceived by this appearance.

In reality, when you truly infringe upon the rights of powerful figures, these people are more cunning and ruthless than anyone else.

Tang Song stood awkwardly to one side, not daring to sit down without the chairman's order.

Tang Wan completely ignored his presence and focused her gaze on Lu Ming, who was facing her.

Lu Ming said indifferently, "Miss Tang, is there something you need from me? It can't be just a casual chat, can it?"

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wan's delicate face.

Her expression was natural, not stiff at all.

Although her features were delicate and beautiful, she was not like those fake people walking on the street.

Some experienced people can tell at a glance that Tang Wan's appearance is natural and has not been artificially altered.

"As expected of Mr. Lu, your observation skills are indeed sharp. Our Central Chamber of Commerce approached Mr. Lu to persuade him to give up the next team competition instance."

"Of course, we will also give you a satisfactory promise and will not let Mr. Lu give up in vain. This way, it will be good for everyone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but sneer: "Make me give up participating in the next team arena dungeon? On what grounds?"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Tang Wan's meaning was quite clear.

The team-based competitive dungeon she was referring to was, of course, the seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon.

To advance from a Tier 6 Challenger to a Tier 7 Challenger, simply accumulating points is not enough; you must also clear two 7-star difficulty horror movie dungeons and one 7-star difficulty team arena dungeon.

Judging from the Central Chamber of Commerce's intentions, they seem determined to win the next team competition instance, so they want Lu Ming, their potential "competitor," to forfeit.

Whether it's coercion or enticement, this behavior is not within the scope of the Main God Space's control and will not violate the rules.

Tang Wan wasn't annoyed when Lu Ming refused right away.

This was exactly what she had expected. After all, people with ability tend to have tempers, and it would be abnormal if Lu Ming agreed without hesitation.

She continued to smile and said, "Mr. Lu, please don't be in a hurry. What I just said was only our chamber of commerce's initial idea. However, Mr. Lu's supernatural methods of countering the invasion of the strange city have opened our eyes. We realize that our previous actions were really inappropriate for a big shot like Mr. Lu."

"Therefore, our chamber of commerce has decided to invite you to join our program and help us clear customs."

"What do you mean? Let me be clearer. I hate riddle people the most."

Tang Wan explained, "Simply put, it's about using a matchmaking system where our pre-prepared challenger teams collide with our own guild's challenger teams. Then, one side intentionally loses the team competition, allowing all the challengers on the other side to successfully complete the mission."

After a brief explanation, Lu Ming understood the Central Chamber of Commerce's approach.

There are already few challengers who dare to take on the seven-star difficulty horror movie dungeon, let alone those who have to compete in a team.

In this situation, it couldn't be easier to cause a matchup crash.

The difficulty of team-based competitive dungeons lies in the competition between two challenger teams.

The difficulty of the dungeon itself will be greatly reduced.

If Tang Wan's Central Chamber of Commerce can be successfully blocked, the other team will basically be out of luck, and the difficulty of the dungeon will only remain at the level of a typical six-star horror movie dungeon.

This is a rather cunning tactic.

It can also be said to be a very obvious bug.

However, since the main god space was already damaged and could hardly protect itself, and had too many bugs, it simply abandoned its existence and did not make any repairs.

As for the other team of challengers who were chosen to be sent to their deaths...

For a power like the Central Chamber of Commerce, this is nothing at all.

They could even capture five innocent people directly in the God Realm, tie them together, and throw them into the dungeon.

"In this high-dimensional space, without the protection of the rules of the main god space, it would be difficult for those low-level sixth-order challengers to slack off."

"In terms of productivity, there's already a surplus here, but any level six challenger is qualified to participate in level seven team competitions..."

"These upper-level shady figures exploit this for their own profit; the word 'conscience' is a joke to them."

Lu Ming's mind stirred slightly.

His previous reputation only garnered slight attention from the Central Chamber of Commerce, but they didn't take it too seriously.

They notified Lu Ming in order to avoid an unnecessary conflict as much as possible.

But now that they know Lu Ming's true strength, the people of the Central Chamber of Commerce have changed their minds and decided to recruit Lu Ming into their group.

If what Tang Wan said is true, then if Lu Ming agrees, he can only go along with it and get through this team competition dungeon.

However, Lu Ming could not completely trust these people; he didn't know how much of what they said was true and how much was false.

If you go into the dungeon with them, you're handing your fate over to someone else.

Taking such a risk just to avoid some trouble was simply not worth it for Lu Ming. So, without hesitation, he flatly refused, "I will not consider either the first or the second suggestion. There is no need for such trouble."

Upon hearing Lu Ming's words, Tang Wan first responded with a somewhat incredulous "hmm".

This was practically a windfall, and she never expected Lu Ming to refuse.

Tang Wan asked with a strange expression, "Mr. Lu... are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"No need, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Lu Ming's attitude was very tough and showed no respect.

But the more he acted this way, the less Tang Wan dared to say anything recklessly.

Because someone as arrogant as Lu Ming is either a fool or terrifying to a certain degree.

Lu Ming certainly couldn't be the former, so the only remaining possibility is the latter.

Tang Song, who was still standing to the side, glanced at Lu Ming in surprise.

He was already incredibly nervous just talking to Tang Wan, and no one expected that Lu Ming would so often directly reject Tang Wan's two suggestions.

When Tang Song looked at Lu Ming again, he found that the seat Lu Ming had been sitting in was now empty. Lu Ming had mysteriously disappeared from the spot at some point.

···········
Lu Ming didn't give Tang Wan any face.

There's really no need to give them face.

He didn't ask the Central Chamber of Commerce for help, nor was he afraid of these so-called seventh-tier challengers; he simply did whatever pleased him.

If any fool dares to cause trouble, just wipe them out.

"Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own; this saying is indeed true."

"The lowest-ranking sixth-tier challengers can only be used as expendable materials, using their lives to make the last bit of value... Whether they live or are used as materials by those who stir up trouble depends entirely on luck."

"No matter what, I can't cooperate with these people. I have to take my own destiny into my own hands, and I do have the ability to do so now."

···········
In a corner of the eerie city, a young man dressed in casual clothes, with a lollipop in his mouth, swaggered along the roadside.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he caught a glimpse of a pair of stunningly beautiful sisters out of the corner of his eye.

The two looked almost identical, with only minor differences.

Moreover, she looks very sweet, with fair skin, a slender waist, and long legs...
A woman with this kind of气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance or aura) is very rare, even in this eerie city.

"Damn, this place is definitely the right one! It's so much better than that crappy main city outside! No wonder so many people don't even bother with dungeons. They can enjoy beauties like these every day, why would they even bother with dungeons!"

The young man named Song Shi was not intimidated and greeted them with a smile: "Ladies, my cat can do backflips and lives nearby. Would you like to come up and have a seat?"

Before entering the Main God Space, Song Shi was a complete loser.

But now he has transformed into a successful person, and all his inferiority complex and timidity have been swept away.

Moreover, Song Shi had only been in this strange city for a short time, and he had heard that many of the residents here were artificial humans who could be used for pleasure at will.

So without thinking too much, he went up to strike up a conversation.

As it turns out, staying here is indeed a pleasure; even Song Shi's terrible flirting skills managed to keep people here.

Upon hearing the sound, the twin sisters stopped in their tracks and slowly turned their heads together, revealing stiff smiles on their beautiful faces.

"Okay, let's go upstairs and have a seat."

Both of them appeared extremely stiff and unnatural in their movements and expressions.

However, Song Shi did not think much of it.

After all, it's an artificial human created using advanced abilities, so it's normal for it to have differences in behavior compared to a real person.

The requirements aren't that high.

You can use it.

···········
A moment later.

A rich, sensual scent filled the dimly lit room, both alluring and decadent, with a powerful impact.

Song Shi didn't know if it was because of a recent health problem or some other reason, but he felt sore back and dizzy, and his head was spinning. After finishing, he felt extremely weak and couldn't get out of bed at all.

Fortunately, with soft, warm jade and a beautiful woman in his arms, he fell into a deep sleep with two beauties by his side.

Song Shi didn't wake up until midnight.

His body felt numb and cold, unable to move, and he couldn't even feel his limbs.

It took a lot of effort for Song Shi to finally turn his neck and look at his sister beside him.

That glance almost scared him out of his wits.

The woman sleeping with him under the same quilt was not a twin sister at all.

A head as white as porcelain, with empty, stiff eyes and a strange smile on its lips.

Beneath the swan-like neck was not a well-proportioned shoulder blade, but a porcelain vase with strange patterns.

The porcelain bottle felt incredibly cold to the touch, and there was a chip in one place from which flowed foul-smelling, viscous pus, blood dripping from the broken internal organs, and even... some liquids that originally belonged to the Song Dynasty.

Song Shi suddenly realized something.

These two beautiful sisters are not human, they are ghosts!
This place is called a bizarre city because, in addition to challengers and androids, there are also vengeful ghosts that have escaped from various dungeons.

You could say that Song Shi was very unlucky, or you could say that he was blinded by his own desires.

We actually encountered such a terrifying ghost.

It felt like something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything. His eyes widened as he tried to struggle.

But it was only then that he realized his body had also turned into a small porcelain bottle.

The internal organs were crammed into the porcelain bottle, barely surviving on the nutrients from the pus inside.

On a bed lay three heads, and three porcelain vases adorned with eerie patterns...

Lu Ming witnessed everything that happened here.

However, he did not offer any assistance, but instead chose to stand by and watch.

This scene made him realize that even in a bizarre city, it is not absolutely safe for ordinary challengers.

Jason, the Crystal Lake assassin we encountered before, and Aquarius woman now are both good examples.

"This place is not safe to stay in for long. We need to return to the higher-dimensional God Space and see when the new Seven Star Dungeon will appear."
