Chapter 23 The Drunken Beauty of Xiangxi (23)



The live broadcast on the left shows all the passengers arriving at the destination. They are lying on the ground with their legs spread out. Yu and An Qingzhen put their heads against the uppers of Bingjiu shoes, like believers worshiping.

The live broadcast on the right was frozen on the ground full of blood. The body of the white fox as huge as a calf was silent. There were only four passengers left beside Ghost B 49.

Moreover, these four passengers were all drained of most of their life by Yi 49. They were as skinny as a stick and their eyes were numb and lifeless.

On one side, everyone survives, while on the other side, only half of them are left, paying a heavy price.

Obviously, Bingjiu won this battle completely. But there was no smile on the faces of Shi Xiao and other onlookers.

"In these two beautiful trips to Xiangxi, the probability of the team being destroyed in the end is over 70%."

Bai Xiaosheng's tone was as calm as ever, without any emotion: "Bingjiu Regiment, when Bingjiu falls into madness, it will be destroyed."

"Forty-nine group B, 85% will be destroyed at the second scenic spot."

"In other words, as long as Bingjiu doesn't go crazy, the people in his regiment may survive?"

Shi Xiao quickly grasped the key points, his breathing was a little rapid, and his eyes were fixed on Bai Xiaosheng: "Is that right?"

"right."

Bai Xiaosheng said decisively: "Bingjiu's qualifications are extremely high, and he can stay so sane even when his SAN is lost. If Bingjiu can survive to the end, the survival rate of Bingjiu Regiment will reach 75%, and even 100%. There’s a five-in-five chance of everyone surviving.”

"Everyone...survives..."

When Shi Xiao heard this word, there was a hint of awe in his eyes, and the onlookers couldn't help but exclaimed in low voices, let alone everyone surviving in the beautiful Xiangxi, even if it was a normal dangerous journey, it would be almost impossible for everyone to survive. impossible things. If Bingjiu can really do this, he will definitely be snapped up by major brigades after this journey is over!

"such a pity."

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, put away the parchment, and finally glanced at Bingjiu on the live broadcast screen.

"With unconnected teammates, the SAN value is at least below 60... Bingjiu has started to go crazy."

* *

Crazy, all crazy!

Wei Xun took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but in fact he was gritting his teeth, and his voice sounded like it was being forced out from between his teeth:

"You mean, I need 800 points for a bamboo basket?"

"Eight hundred after discount."

Wu Laoliu hissed without giving in, his eyes fixed on Wei Xun in front of him, as if he was afraid that he would become a robber and rob the bamboo basket.

"Just a garbage basket, eight hundred?"

Wei Xun laughed, holding the rotten, moldy, and dim-colored dirty backpack in front of him, and repeated: "One, eight hundred?"

[Name: Moldy Baby Bamboo Back Basket]

[Quality: Tattered]

[Function: Can pretend to be a child, of course, a kid can also do it]

[Note: What? How much does this backpack cost? I wouldn’t even buy it if you gave me eight hundred for free! Even the most fooling children and imps will never like this kind of backpack! 】

After Wu Laoliu nodded warily, Wei Xun calmly put down the bamboo basket, flexed his wrist, and said in a kind and consultative tone:

"I think you should give this basket to me for free and beg me to accept it."

"What do you think."

Wei Xun thought that now that he had more than 1,800 points, he could finally be called a wealthy family.

But who would have thought that here in Wu Laoliu, the points would only be enough to buy two bamboo baskets!

One hundred points can be exchanged for one life. Calculated, a bamboo basket costs Wei Xun eight lives.

"boom!"

The sharp black claw tips pierced the counter in front of Wu Laoliu. The black and rotten wood was more brittle than paper. The broken rotten wood was densely packed with white maggots that looked like bran. Countless maggots were crushed to pieces, and the rotten wood was covered with a thick yellow and white slurry.

This disgusting sight makes people want to vomit, but Wei Xun, who has always been mysophobic, is indifferent this time. Cold eyes descended from behind the bronze mask and fell on Wu Laoliu. The old man's eyebrows trembled and his face turned ugly.

When Wei Xun was about to take another step forward, he sullenly uttered a string of dialects, speaking very fast, and finally changed into Mandarin: "A bamboo basket is a price, the above...the above purchases the goods, and ordered them ”

"oh?"

Wei Xun slowly raised his eyebrows: "Above?"

"right."

Wu Laoliu stared at him warily, his pupils suddenly shrunk to a single point: "Even if you kill me, it's still the price. If you want to do it -"

"Why are you such a waste?"

Wu Laoliu was stunned. Before he could react, Wei Xun slapped him in the face and slapped him:

"The price set by the above? You won't bargain with the price set by the above?"

With 800 points and a tattered backpack, Wei Xun couldn't afford the entire brigade.

It would be feasible if he could buy two first, sell them to tourists at a higher price to restore blood, and then go back to Wu Laoliu to continue buying them, repeating the cycle.

But the hotel doesn’t allow it! At the shopping point, Wei Xun only had one chance to shop, so he could buy as much as he could. After he left the store, he was not allowed to come in a second time to buy anything.

Like some sort of filter.

Only tour guides who have enough points and are powerful enough can buy enough items in the shopping store and protect the passengers. Just as Wei Xun thought before, on this journey, it is a hundred times more difficult for people to live than to die.

To be honest, Wei Xun no longer values ​​the 300 points he received from the accidental death of a passenger.

Such a difficult goal... will there be a hundredfold reward after completion?

The look in Wu Laoliu's eyes when he looked at Wei Xun instantly became dangerous, sinister, as if he had been quenched by poison.

"Stare at me? Does staring at me work?"

Wei Xun rolled his eyes and had an idea. He sneered: "Why, tell me, how many points can you earn from selling a bamboo basket?"

Wu Laoliu remained silent.

"You can't make any money at all, and you're even paying for it? Huh? You sold my bamboo basket at 20% off, so you lost a lot. Did you originally want to sell me several times the purchase price and make a profit on the difference?"

"snort."

Wei Xun hit the nail on the head, Wu Laoliu smoked two water pipes aggressively, but with a sense of bravado, he said in a low voice: "Anyway, if you want to go there, you have to buy a bamboo basket."

This sentence was a clear hint that the bamboo basket was an important prop to get through the upcoming difficulties, but Wei Xun remained unmoved. He turned around with his hands behind his back and slowly walked to a bamboo basket leaning against the edge of the house. I picked it up with my nails:

"Is this the bamboo basket I picked up by the stream? I think it's better than the ones you sell."

[Name: Moldy Green Bamboo Back Basket]

[Quality: Tattered]

[Function: Can pretend to be a child]

[Note: Oh, this broken thing is falling apart, the smell can kill a child! 】

The only difference between these two backpacks is the material. One is the 'Infant Bamboo' backpack and the other is the 'Green Bamboo' backpack. One can pretend to be a child and an imp, the other can only pretend to be a child.

Wei Xun raised his eyebrows. He originally thought Wu Laoliu was interesting because he knew how to bargain, and Wu Laoliu's performance further confirmed his suspicion.

He is not like the kind of NPC who issues tasks and is controlled by the hotel - his words and actions are more like a real person with his own ideas.

"A tattered bamboo basket is so expensive. Is it because there is a talisman hidden in the bamboo basket? Is there a curse engraved on the bamboo piece? Or is the material expensive? Who are you slaughtering as a fat pig?"

Wei Xun pretended to be disdainful and threw away the bamboo basket: "I know how to make this kind of rubbish. Wouldn't it be a huge profit to sell it to tourists when the time comes?"

"you?"

Wu Laoliu sneered, his withered cheeks twitching, like an old monkey with only bones left: "If you can sell things to tourists, why do you need me?"

oh?

Wu Laoliu knew the rule that tour guides could not trade with tourists at will.

"snort."

Wei Xun pretended to snort angrily, and his face turned cold: "The bamboo basket is too expensive, and I don't have the money to buy it. Anyway, the passenger died, and it was not me who killed him."

After saying that, he turned around and left. He glanced at Wu Laoliu's face from the corner of his eye, only to find that his eyes were even more fierce and resentful, and a bit impatient.

If Wu Laoliu looked at him before, he wanted to beat him up, but now his eyes looked like there were blades, wanting to cut Wei Xun's flesh and bones piece by piece.

Wu Laoliu was angry, not because of the quarrel, but because of what he just said.

Are bamboo baskets too expensive? Will the passenger die? still……

Why don’t you buy the bamboo basket yourself?

interesting.

Wei Xun, who walked to the door, pulled open his collar with one hand and gasped a few times. His hands with sharp nails could not rub his body as usual, and he inadvertently left a few red marks on his collarbone, like red plums in the snow. , very dazzling and confusing.

When the yellow value exceeded 10 and the live broadcast room was blocked again, Wei Xun gathered his clothes and turned back.

Seeing him go and come back, Wu Laoliu's eyes trembled slightly, but he did not look at Wei Xun, but looked up at the sky.

Seeing his actions, Wei Xun was even more convinced in his heart, but his face was still cold:

"Wu Laoliu, I plan to do a business with you."

Bamboo baskets are indeed very expensive...but this kind of bamboo baskets should be able to be made.

"I only do the business above, not my own business."

Wu Laoliu was unmoved and took a sip of saliva. If it weren't for the maggots in his eyes jumping like jumping beans, Wei Xun would have really thought that the old dog was indifferent. He chuckled and said lazily:

"It's up to you. If you don't do it, someone else will do it with me. But if you... you won't find this shop after passing this village."

really.

Wei Xun saw a deep hidden eagerness in Wu Laoliu's eyes. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but closed his mouth tightly again, as if he had become a speechless earthen, wood, and stone statue again, and closed his eyes. , as if ignoring Wei Xun.

"I don't care whether the passengers die or not."

Wei Xun strolled slowly in his small store, as if concentrating on looking at the things on the counter, and whispered to himself: "I brought them all to the first scenic spot alive, and even if the whole army is wiped out now, they can't blame me. "

Wu Laoliu suddenly opened his eyes, as if surprised or shocked, as if he couldn't believe that Bingjiu could bring all the passengers alive. He looked at Wei Xun like he was a monster, sneered, and closed his eyes again after his gaze came over, as if he didn't hear anything.

"I saved their lives. Of course I have to make a lot of money - but if someone makes more than me, I won't be happy."

The corners of Wei Xun's lips curved sharply, seemingly true and false: "Points are life. Whoever dares to take my life, I will risk my life with him."

Wu Laoliu opened his eyes again.

Wei Xun was just like a scientist observing small animals. While performing, he was still observing Wu Laoliu with great interest and analyzing the emotions in his eyes.

It's recognition.

Wu Laoliu agreed with his words.

Points are life? He also needs points?

Wu Laoliu purchases goods from above... Wu Laoliu purchases goods from the hotel, and then sells them to him at a higher price to earn money from the tour guide. The tour guide sells it to tourists at a higher price to make money from tourists.

Is it this chain of exploitation?

What is Wu Laoliu?

Wei Xun remembered that he had asked the hotel before coming, and the hotel's answer at that time was very ambiguous——

【Non-staff personnel】

Wu Laoliu is a non-staff member of the hotel, the tour guide is a regular employee of the hotel, and the tourists are the hotel's "precious wealth", so the hotel treats them differently.

It was impossible for Wu Laoliu to get much money from the hotel. He had more restrictions than the tour guide. He is at the bottom of this chain of exploitation.

He didn't want to die, otherwise he wouldn't have finally backed down from the bargain.

He was eager for points/or maybe the hotel had set a minimum sales quota for him, otherwise Wei Xun wouldn't have shown such a malicious look when he pretended to turn around and leave.

What exactly is Wu Laoliu? Is it a human? Is it a monster? What exactly are the so-called ‘indigenous people’?

Wei Xun aroused a strong interest in him, and the crazy factor in his blood could not be suppressed. Perhaps the alienation made his true nature more exposed, and Wei Xun wanted to go even more extreme to test his own death.

Wu Laoliu still didn't speak. He had a sullen face and took two puffs of water pipe. Suddenly he glanced at the top of his head, as if his eyes were cramped.

really.

"It's very cloudy today."

Wei Xun said slowly: "Even if there is a Jade Emperor above the clouds, he probably won't be able to see the human world."

The live broadcast in the hotel was blocked, Wu Laoliu must have wanted to speak accurately.

How interesting, not only to know about the hostel, but also to know that the hostel is 'supervising' their communication at all times.

Wei Xun licked his itchy canine teeth and pressed the tips of his teeth against his lower lip, pressing the pale lips to bleed. He was like a vampire duke hiding in the night, casually exuding an unconscious charm.

Even Wu Laoliu paused for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind and finally spoke in a low voice: "You must buy at least one bamboo basket, otherwise the whole army will be annihilated."

"Anyone can make this kind of tattered bamboo basket."

Ignoring Wu Laoliu's sneer and mocking eyes, Wei Xun said slowly and critically: "I think this bamboo basket is made of a special material, but this kind of bamboo should be everywhere outside."

Yingzhu Bamboo Basket and Yingzhu Miao Village are definitely related.

Wu Laoliu didn't refute, but the maggots under the dark wrinkled skin were squirming fiercely, rustling like they were holding a meeting. Wei Xun was not only reminding him that the bamboo baskets sold in the hotel were made of a special material, but also warning him that he could see the properties of the bamboo baskets, so don't try to fool him.

If Wu Laoliu could make a similar bamboo basket——

Wei Xun said slowly: "I'm too lazy to buy any of those broken bamboo baskets. I might as well buy freshly made ones from the aborigines at a low price -"

When he said these words, Wu Laoliu's body was as stiff as a stone sculpture, and his cloudy eyes were staring at Wei Xun. If you look closely, you can find that his stiff body is trembling slightly, and various cracks are opening on the skin. , and the maggots squirming crazily can be vaguely seen.

Understand, Aboriginal people and tour guides cannot make private transactions.

"Of course, the hospitable aborigines will definitely not ask for my money."

As soon as Wei Xun's words changed, Wu Laoliu's cracked skin closed up. Seeing this scene, Wei Xun had an idea.

"If you want me to buy this old backpack, that's fine."

Wei Xun said lazily: "Unless you buy one bamboo basket, you can give me ten more as gifts."

In an instant, Wu Laoliu's body tensed up again, as if he was afraid of something, and also as if his whole body was tense and on guard against something.

For a long time, nothing he feared or was wary of came to him.

It cannot be bought or sold, but it can be given away.

Even though Wu Laoliu's face was stiff and expressionless, his eyes were dancing like maggots breakdancing, revealing his excitement.

"But the bamboo baskets given as gifts cannot be so tattered."

Wei Xun said: "When you come to Xiangxi for a tour, you must bring back some high-quality specialties."

Wei Xun remembered the description of the baby bamboo basket [What? How much does this backpack cost? I won’t buy it even if you give me eight hundred for free! Even the most fooling children and imps will never like this kind of backpack! 】

Children and imps will never like it. This bamboo basket made of shabby material is probably not the best.

Also, hotels cannot provide travelers with much convenience when it comes to things like shopping points that reduce difficulty.

Maybe the best solution this time is not to buy a bamboo basket from Wu Laoliu, but to buy one and take it home. The tourists can cut bamboo according to the shape of the bamboo basket and make it themselves.

From the process of preparing corpses, Wei Xun could see that the hotel seemed to like doing this kind of "old craft" work.

Wu Laoliu's face twitched, and he smoked hookah silently. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly said hoarsely:

"Ten gifts are too many. I never do this kind of loss-making business."

"You buy two bamboo baskets, and I'll give you four. But for those two bamboo baskets, I'll sell them for one thousand and eighty yuan each."

"laugh."

Wei Xun turned around and left without hesitation. When he walked to the door in a few steps, he heard Wu Laoliu's hoarse and slightly urgent voice: "Why are you leaving! Bargain, bargain, pay back, you young man Why did you just leave immediately!"

"Buy two bamboo baskets and I'll give you six as a gift. That's great!"

"Buy a bamboo basket, and you give me nine as gifts. I'll pay you a thousand points for that bamboo basket."

Wei Xun turned around and leaned lazily against the door frame. When he saw Wu Laoliu standing up with a slap on the table, his body squirming like waves of maggots, he cautiously moved closer to the door: "I'm warning you, don't play dirty tricks again." , otherwise we won’t discuss it directly!”

"you you you you--"

Wu Laoliu was so angry that maggots were dancing in his eyes. He was so angry that he broke the hookah. He gasped for breath, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle. He looked fierce and terrifying. An invisible momentum spread, cold, oppressive, and creepy.

"What, do you want to buy it? I'm leaving if this business doesn't work."

Wei Xun was unmoved, but he felt that Wu Laoliu was showing signs of 'cracking' again, so he stepped back out again, almost half of his body was outside. Wu Laoliu slapped the counter angrily, and the counter, which had been poked by Wei Xun with a big hole, completely collapsed, and white insect corpses like white rice were flowing out.

"I'll give you seven bamboo baskets for the same price!"

Wu Laoliu finally said viciously: "I will sell you that bamboo basket for a thousand and a half, otherwise there will be no discussion."

"One bamboo basket, give me eight."

Wei Xun said obediently and hypocritically: "I fell in love with Brother Wu as soon as I met him. If you add another one, it will be a meeting gift for the juniors."

Compared with Wu Laoliu, an old cabbage, he is a well-mannered young man, so there is nothing embarrassing about calling himself a junior.

"There are only eight passengers in total! What's the use of nine bamboo baskets?"

Wu Laoliu was furious: "People who are too greedy will go to the eighteenth level of hell after death!"

"Is hell fun? I would like to see it."

Wei Xun smiled and said confidently: "There are only eight people here. I am also a human being. Can't I look at the bamboo basket?"

"you you--"

"Okay, anger will hurt your body, anger will hurt your body."

Wei Xun looked embarrassed, hesitating and reluctantly cutting his flesh: "Well, I am also in love with you, Brother Wu. I will add fifty-five, fifteen hundred and fifty to buy you a broken bamboo basket. You How about giving me eight, that’s enough for my brother.”

"Get out, get out of here!"

Wu Laoliu was furious, his angry fingers trembling slightly as he pointed at the door.

"Get out of here!"

Wei Xun followed Shan Ruliu: "Okay, okay, I'll get out."

Just as he walked out and was about to close the door, a broken bamboo basket was thrown out and hit him.

"Take your bamboo basket and get out!"

"Don't forget to come for lunch!"

Before the dirty bamboo basket could hit him, Wei Xun hooked it with the tip of his claws. Seeing that what Wu Laoliu threw was a "moldy baby bamboo basket", Wei Xun's lips curved into an interesting smile.

Whether his 'good business' with Wu Laoliu will succeed or not depends on noon.

Carrying a backpack, Wei Xun went back to the house to take a shower and go to sleep without any psychological pressure. He didn't wake up until noon.

The places where the tour guide and tourists ate were not in the same place. When Wei Xun wandered to Wulaoliu's stilted building to eat, he saw at a glance a pile of things covered with dry thatch under the corner of the table. He showed a tacit expression. Smile.

On the contrary, Wu Laoliu acted as if he had a guilty conscience and immediately closed the door tightly after Wei Xun entered, and even glanced at the sky timidly. Seeing Wei Xun squatting on the thatch, about to lift the thatch to see what was inside, Wu Laoliu's brows twitched, he hit the back of Wei Xun's hand with his bamboo chopsticks and roared:

"what are you doing!"

"Inspection."

Wei Xun smiled lazily. When his fingers touched the pile of things just now, the message that popped up let him know that there was something going on.

[Name: Exquisite baby bamboo basket]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: Can pretend to be a child, of course, a kid can also do it]

[Remarks: The locals in western Hunan weave a very strong and durable backpack, which is very popular with children and ghosts]

Unexpectedly, Wu Laoliu moved so quickly and actually prepared all the backpacks in one morning.

"What are you testing? Don't move around here!"

Wu Laoliu was bluffing, the maggots in his eyes trembling nervously.

"Take the bamboo basket and get out of here!"

After verifying that the bamboo-backed basket made by Wu Laoliu was indeed a prop, Wei Xun raised his eyebrows and glanced thoughtfully at Wu Laoliu's hand, noticing that he was actually twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.

The red light on the Buddha beads was shining brightly. It looked like it was of good quality, but it didn't look like something that should be found in western Hunan.

Wu Laoliu's sense of disobedience became even more severe.

Did he make so many bamboo-backed baskets in one morning, or had he had this idea for a long time?

So smart - so smart. Aboriginal people? Are you born aboriginal, or--

"Leave now, leave now."

Wei Xun drawled lazily, picked up the bamboo basket tied with hemp rope under the thatch pile, threw it over his shoulder, turned around and winked at Wu Laoliu before going out: "Brother Wu, do you still believe in Buddhism? "

"Nothing to do with you."

Wu Laoliu replied stiffly, but Wei Xun didn't care either.

"But let me tell you—"

Wei Xun lowered his voice and looked at Wu Laoliu without blinking: "If you ask me, Fodu also ferries people, and doesn't care about monsters."

Buzz——

A strange and permeating rustling sound occupied the entire space, like tens of millions of maggots squirming. At this moment, the walls, roof, and even the floor were covered with mottled white spots, as if the entire stilted building was covered with stilts. It is formed by the accumulation of maggots. Those thin, moldy black spots are actually countless pairs of eyes.

What Wei Xun just said touched the deepest taboo.

Wu Laoliu sat on the chair, his eyes as cold and numb as glass, and his whole person was like a stone wax statue, a puppet being controlled, but the sense of terrifying pressure coming from him was getting stronger and stronger.

He stared at Wei Xun, and the entire "stilted building" was staring at Wei Xun. Under this abyss-like abyss of cold malice, any pretense of calmness would be stripped away, revealing his true emotions.

"It's too cold here, it's so cold and dirty."

Wei Xun just trembled and complained: "Old man, although you can't be young again, at least you have to be a clean old man and be kind to yourself."

"If I were as old as you, I would definitely not live in such a shabby place."

The countless gazes focused on Wei Xun's arms, and although they were neatly trimmed, they still didn't look like long black nails that looked human.

He is never the only monster here.

The rich and deep malice gradually subsided and was hidden. Wu Laoliu trembled all over and blinked slowly as if he had come to his senses. Seeing that Wei Xun was still standing by the door, even taking two steps back, tilting his head to observe his expression with interest, Wu Laoliu slapped the table fiercely and threw his chopsticks away:

"Get out, get out!"

Wei Xun retreated to the door: "Really, it's obviously you who gave me something, why do you still have such a bad attitude?"

"Brother Wu, I feel very close to you as soon as I see you -"

"roll!"

boom!

The door slammed in front of Wei Xun, only one centimeter away from the tip of Wei Xun's nose. If he hadn't leaned back in time, it would have hit him in the face. Wei Xun was not angry, but rather happy. Humming a little tune, he got off the stilted building and walked towards his residence.

In the stilted building, Wu Laoliu was sitting on a chair, his eyeballs were as cloudy as broken glass, and he looked like an earth and stone sculpture again. A bunch of maggots emerged from his seven orifices and fell on the table. Gradually, Wu Laoliu's body shriveled up until the last piece of human skin collapsed.

The white maggots occupy the entire table. They squirm, touch each other, communicate in a language that humans cannot understand, and are so greedy and eager that they circle around the golden light spot in the center of the table that dances and floats as lightly as a firefly.

Those were 1,550 points that Wei Xun traded to him, but now, these points don't belong to him yet.

[Monster No. 38, completed the basic transaction and sold the moldy baby bamboo basket x1]

When the elegant and deep voice suddenly sounded in the stilted building, all the maggots stopped squirming at this moment, and stretched out like a group of rice and 'creeped' on the table, as if they were afraid of surrender.

[The moldy baby bamboo basket was purchased for 500 points and sold for 1,555 points. Number 38 deserves 1,055 points. Should all points be used for atonement? 】

Wu Laoliu lied after all. The purchase price of the bamboo basket was 500, not 1,000. The maggots nodded in unison, and the jumping golden light spots were reduced by half out of thin air. The remaining golden light spots merged into the maggots. The maggots' originally gray and white bodies were coated with a faint golden light, and they couldn't help but squirm, as if they were content. .

But when the sound sounded again, all the bugs froze.

[On the 38th, he secretly increased the purchase price to 1,000, committing the crime of 'deception', and it was the 33rd crime]

Boom——

There seemed to be thunder exploding in the sky, bright lightning piercing the sky, white light shining brightly in the dark and gloomy moment, all the maggots were struggling desperately and painfully, lightning fell one after another, the entire stilted building was crumbling, almost collapsed, and the struggling maggots sometimes merged together, Sometimes separated, chaotic to the point of being almost weird.

Why would the person in charge be punished this time? !

The maggot went crazy with pain. It didn't understand that privately increasing the price would not attract the attention of the person in charge as long as it did not exceed twice the purchase price. This is the conclusion it has reached after countless experiments. It has done this before, but this time it suffered retribution!

When half of the maggots on the table were reduced to ashes, the thunder and lightning finally stopped. The stilted building was filled with the stench of burnt protein. The remaining maggots collapsed on the table, twitching and convulsing, not yet recovering from the pain. god.

[You have committed more than ten crimes in total. On the 38th, you should have been punished by being deprived of your power and deported to the 30th degree north latitude to atone for your sins]

Upon hearing this, the maggots trembled all over, even more frightened than they had been tortured before. They squirmed desperately, as if begging for mercy and kowtow.

Suddenly, the maggots seemed to have made up their minds. The originally white and fat maggots suddenly shriveled up and became weak, peeling off a faint golden light. They spit out the points, their vitality was seriously injured, and they did not want to suffer such a punishment!

But as soon as the golden light floated up, it was suppressed by the invisible force into the bodies of the maggots. The maggots were frightened at first, then seemed to realize something, suppressed their fear, and crawled quietly on the table.

The maggots' performance of knowing what's interesting is quite correct. Because the mysterious and elegant male voice sounded again, indifferent yet full of meaning.

[Tourists are the most valuable asset of a hotel, and a tour guide who can bring them back completely is a valuable asset to the hostel owner]

[I hope that such a tour guide can return to me unscathed as soon as possible]

The pressure that only the maggots could sense gradually disappeared.

[Perhaps, it’s not far away when you find your name]

After these words, the terrifying power completely disappeared, leaving only the exhausted maggots spread out on the table.

After a while, the maggots regained their composure, and their small black dot-like eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Why didn't he receive the final punishment? He didn't even have his points taken away. He just had half of his body wiped out without any pain. All the answers lie in the last words of the male voice.

The maggots thought of the overly handsome white-haired tour guide. The powerful strength that allowed all the tourists to survive the first attraction was hidden under the pale skin. Even though the appearance was obscured by the bronze mask, the ascetic and cold temperament was even more impressive. There is a desire to torture and ravage him, making people want to hide him as a forbidden concubine.

Even being favored by the person in charge.

Lucky, unlucky?

The hotel owner’s valuable asset?

The maggots shivered violently, this was not something he could think about. There was a rustling sound, and the maggots slowly got into the skin. Wu Laoliu stood up shakily and sat in front of the table. His whole body shrank, and he was as thin as a paper man. It took him a long time to turn his eyes.

Name, name, his name.

Since becoming a monster, he has forgotten his real name. He only knows that he can only regain his name by playing the role of an 'aboriginal' and atone for his sins.

Become human again.

But the road is too long, so long that there is no hope.

but--

The omnipotent host of the hotel, what he says will never be wrong.

Picking up the chopsticks from the ground, Wu Laoliu, with a stiff face and a numb expression, took the rotten and moldy food on the table and ate it into his mouth.

He knows what to do.

* *

Wei Xun returned to the room, casually placing the string of bamboo baskets by the door, and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

Taking showers three times a day, there was no one but him. While soaking in the bathtub, Wei Xun casually picked up a string of water splashes with his fingers to summarize the information he got this morning.

This business deal between him and Wu Laoliu should be successful.

The hotel's "non-staff member" Wu Laoliu purchased a bamboo-backed basket from the hotel for 1,000 points and sold it to Wei Xun for 1,550, plus eight bamboo-backed baskets made by him as a gift.

He and Wu Laoliu did not trade outside the Travel Club. From the beginning to the end, the goods they bought and sold were only the 'tattered' bamboo-backed baby basket. The other exquisite bamboo-backed baby baskets were made by Wu Laoliu himself and 'gifted' to Wei Xun. .

Although Wei Xun still doubted whether Wu Laoliu's 'purchase price' was true, in any case, Wei Xun finally got nine bamboo baskets for only 1,550. Not only did the brigade have all, he could also get one Have fun.

In total, it's more than 170. It's just a waste of money. Wei Xun will not lose in any case.

Wei Xun looked at the bamboo basket and put it down again, thoughtfully.

Wu Laoliu needs points very much, this is one of them.

What does he need points for? Hotel mission, or something else?

Wei Xun didn't know if any tour guide had tried to do this with the aborigines before him. Even if there are, there probably won't be many. This is equivalent to taking advantage of the hotel's current situation. Wei Xun did this because he blocked the live broadcast. He pursues excitement and likes to commit suicide.

The premise of all this is that Wei Xun is not afraid of Wu Laoliu's pressure, and Wu Laoliu is afraid of the Maria butterfly tattoo on his hand, which makes Wei Xun lose 20%.

Wu Laoliu, who was in desperate need of points, joined Wei Xun's "complicity".

The hotel restricts various ways for 'aboriginals' to obtain points. This is the second one.

If the aborigines can only stay here and earn the price difference by acting as middlemen, not to mention how much time it takes and how much money they have to pay to the tourists, if the prices of these goods are so high, even the tour guides will not be able to buy too much. goods.

There are only a few perverts like Wei Xun who ignore any negative emotions. For most tour guides, points are life. The more points they have, the better. If a passenger dies unexpectedly, they can earn points instead. In this case, why should we purchase goods at shopping points?

As for the third point, it is the point that Wei Xun is most concerned about.

In the steamy bathroom, Wei Xun poured water on himself and breathed a sigh of relief.

What exactly is Wu Laoliu?

In the conversation just now, the final test gave Wei Xun a bold idea.

When the tour guide's death countdown reaches zero, he will turn into a monster.

Where did those monsters go?

"Maybe they are fellow travelers."

With the sound of splashing water, Wei Xun stepped out of the bathtub naked, letting the yellow value increase wildly, and the live broadcast was blocked again.

"Then we'll see if those bamboo baskets can be used."

There's nothing you can do if it doesn't work. If it costs 800 points for a bamboo basket, Wei Xun can only buy two at most. Why not give it a try now? If you win, all passengers will have a bamboo basket to use. If you lose, at least there will be a bamboo basket.

No matter how strong the passengers are, they are not invulnerable. They drove the corpses across the plank road and fought with the rotting corpses. They were mentally tense all night. Even if they were afraid of Bingjiu, they finally went back to the Diaojiaolou to rest for the whole day.

After lunch, the energetic travelers spontaneously divided into two teams to explore the area around Yingzhu Miao Village. They knew that the hotel would not be kind enough to give them too much rest, and the second attraction would appear no later than tonight.

Getting more clues before then will be more helpful in completing the next project.

Survive.

Maybe no one said it directly, but the atmosphere of the entire brigade was indeed changing subtly.

Miao Fangfei, the team leader, realized this the most. After exorcising the corpses, they truly looked like a team, a group, rather than a random group that could fall apart at any time.

If she was attacked by a zombie-turned-flying fox when she went to Wuluo Mountain again, most people might not run away, but stay and fight side by side.

This feeling is really good. People are always social animals. When surviving in desperate situations, a little bit of the warmth of the group and a little bit of encouragement from teammates are like a warm and burning light that attracts moths, making travelers unable to extricate themselves.

All this is due to tour guide Bingjiu.

Miao Fangfei was sincerely grateful to Bingjiu. No matter how crazy and terrifying his previous rumors were, Miao Fangfei believed in her own eyes.

Bingjiu is a very, very good tour guide.

She is lucky to be led by such a tour guide, and it is also the luck of all tourists.

It's time to thank him.

As the captain, Miao Fangfei did not participate in the afternoon search, but went to Bingjiu's residence. Wang Pengpai and the others all handed over their points to her, and Miao Fangfei shouldered the trust of the team members to buy the key items this time.

After completing the first attraction project, the passengers were all poor, but Miao Fangfei knew very well why Yu Hean and the others gave her so many points.

I want to give Bingjiu more points.

They were infinitely grateful to Bingjiu, but they were still afraid to approach him. At the same time, they were still worried about how to thank the tour guide. Tour guides always like to score points. This seems to be a common characteristic of all tour guides.

They have nothing to gain, so they can only use these meager points to express their gratitude. With a huge sum of money in hand, Miao Fangfei was thinking about buying props all the way here.

In dangerous journey shopping stores, props are sold for about 1,000 each, and tour guides usually sell them for 3,000 each after the price increases. This is still a situation where the tour guides and the aborigines are evenly matched, and the aborigines do not raise prices too much.

As the journey to Xiangxi is extremely dangerous, it is unclear whether the items sold in shopping stores will be more expensive. According to the previous judgment, there is a high possibility that the price of Wu Laoliu will be increased if Director B fails to suppress it. In this case, the purchase price of the props will be very high.

Although Director C is not a pig migration guide, he certainly cannot engage in loss-making business.

Miao Fangfei estimated the base price of the props to be upwards of 5,000. Everyone agreed and everyone could afford it. It won’t be a problem if it goes up again.

Shi Tao had the fewest points, only about 4,000. Miao Fangfei thought that she had more points. If the price of the props was below 6,000, she could borrow points from Shi Tao.

The next project is always better with props.

"Come."

Wei Xun heard the knock on the door and invited the cautious Miao Fangfei in. Both of them knew what they were going to do. Miao Fangfei stared at her hands and did not dare to look into Wei Xun's eyes. Wei Xun rarely said anything immediately.

Just now he was thinking about what price he should set for the backpack.

The most important question before this is whether Wu Laoliu's bamboo basket can be used as a key prop?

"check it out."

Wei Xun simply didn't think about it anymore. He casually picked up a bamboo basket and stuffed it into Miao Fangfei's arms.

Seeing how she was in a hurry and didn't react at first, but the next moment her eyes lit up and she hugged the bamboo basket tightly, Wei Xun felt something was wrong.

There is drama.

"This bamboo basket sells for 1,000 each."

Wei Xun spoke slowly, always paying attention to Miao Fangfei's expression. He got 9 bamboo baskets for 1550, which totaled more than 170 points each. Wei Xun really dared to increase the price tenfold to sell takeout.

But when buying and selling, you have to bargain. If he directly sets the price lower, then there will be no room for bargaining?

Wei Xun is very conscientious, and his psychological price is 500 points for a bamboo basket.

Sure enough, 1,000 points is too expensive?

Wei Xun looked at Miao Fangfei's dazed expression and didn't feel surprised at all.

Wei Xun had long known the stingy nature of the hotel. He only gave one or two hundred points for completing the task with such difficulty. The passengers probably got even less. Even Shi Tao, who had a master brother, only had 1562 points at that time.

1,000 points is an unaffordable price for travelers.

But it’s okay, Wei Dashan is not a devil, so he can definitely get a discount!

"Discount--"

"Discount--"

Wei Xun and Miao Fangfei spoke at the same time. Wei Xun raised his eyebrows, indicating to Miao Fangfei to speak first.

Miao Fangfei is an honest person, and the price she mentioned should be the most affordable for tourists. If it's not too much, it's not that Wei Xun can't accept it——

"With a discount."

Miao Fangfei still didn't come back to her senses. She opened her mouth several times without making a sound. Under Bingjiu's "encouraging" gaze, she clenched her fists, took a deep breath, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and said carefully:

"Look, how about fifty percent off?"

"Fifty discount won't do."

Wei Xun didn't even want to refuse: "50% off -"

His voice stopped suddenly, and he looked at Miao Fangfei like a fool, unable to believe his ears.

"How much discount do you think?"
