Chapter 131 - I’m Here to Save You (2 More! Please Subscribe! Please Vote Monthly!)

Suddenly, a post caught his attention.It was Lei Shenhao making a comeback!

"Recruiting professional players from Rolling Stone City, idle masters, regular players, to help slay monsters, starting at 1000 yuan per day."

Changing tactics?

Fang Yu clicked on it for more details.

Turns out it was the typical tycoon routine.

Hiring hitters, seeking out demons, then righteously ganging up and leaving the last hit for the tycoon.

In this game, the one who lands the final blow gets the lion’s share of experience points, so theoretically, this operation is feasible.

Well, theoretically.

Because they can’t see the health bar at all!

To gauge how injured the demon is, they’d have to rely solely on their eyes.

And to think, they’re counting on the tycoon to deliver the final blow...

How many people would have to die as meat shields against the demon’s attacks to allow for the tycoon to finish it off perfectly?

This is like burning cash to figure out the exact moment to slay the demon.

Lei Shenhao, should you even need to ask?

If this tactic were put into practice, it’d be insanely lavish—a level of opulence beyond what the average rich player could afford.

Fang Yu was suddenly intrigued, so he bookmarked the post to follow any updates.

Moreover, he noticed a problem with Lei Shenhao’s strategy.

He’d overlooked an important factor—NPCs.

If not mistaken, there’s the Foolish Underworld’s government forces, various sects, and local family powers everywhere.

A bunch of you waltzing in to besiege a demon is bound to catch the NPCs’ notice.

Once NPCs join the battlefield to help slay monsters, the whole last-hit business gets even more complicated.

Also, there’s another issue.

With so many people involved, how will they locate the demon among the crowds of Rolling Stone City?

They can’t possibly... plan a mass killing spree to find the demon, right?

Surely, they can’t be that foolish?

Lei Shenhao’s post didn’t divulge the details, so Fang Yu could only speculate.

Anyway, it’s entertaining; just sit back and enjoy the show.

The luxury of a tycoon’s strategy can still bring joy.

Though when it comes to leveling up, they take shortcuts that ordinary folks wouldn’t.

Fang Yu suddenly realized.

A tycoon like Lei Shenhao actually needs elite talent like him.

His ability to see demon health bars alone is worth a fortune.

Not to mention his investigative ability to identify who’s a demon directly.

Hey!

Thinking about it, I’m a treasure trove!

Fang Yu felt somewhat smug.

Too bad Lei Shenhao, in his second game, incarnated not in Tianyuan Town but some Rolling Stone City.

Otherwise, Fang Yu wouldn’t mind burying the hatchet and giving Lei Shenhao a chance.

After all, who could resist money?

Cooking, making meals.

Eating, washing dishes.

After finishing this routine, it was almost dark.

Fang Yu quickly returned to his room, put on the gaming helmet, and re-entered the game.

Foolish Underworld.

Li Baizhen’s courtyard.

"I have a mission for you,"

"Boss, what mission? Just tell me!"

Shi Chengxin spoke eagerly.

"If it’s a mission from you, I’ll complete it even if it costs me my life!"

"Good brother!"

Li Baizhen was moved and patted Shi Chengxin on the shoulder.

"Actually, the mission isn’t that hard, but you must keep it absolutely secret!"

Shi Chengxin thumped his chest.

"Boss, you know me, I’m famous for keeping tight-lipped! Leave this kind of secretive mission to me, I’ll make sure there are no slip-ups!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Of course, I know you. Others may say you’re carefree and unreliable, but after all these years as brothers, how could I not know you? Out of all my followers, you’re the best at keeping secrets!"

"Exactly! I even helped you deceive our sister-in-law when you went to Yanliu Lane that time!"

Cough!

Li Baizhen coughed: "Let’s talk about the serious business! The task I want you to do is actually quite simple."

"Two days ago, while I was chasing a demon, I captured a severely injured Blood Demon alive."

"I’ve been confined to my quarters, staying in the prison the whole time, trying to get some information out of its mouth..."

Shi Chengxin suddenly interrupted: "Did you find anything out?"

Li Baizhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"No."

"It’s very tight-lipped."

"Despite my rigorous interrogation, it hasn’t revealed any information."

"So, I plan to use another method to make it spill the beans!"

Shi Chengxin was confused.

"Make it spill the beans itself? How?"

Li Baizhen smirked.

"Simple, tonight I’ll send some particularly aggressive prisoners into the jail to stir up trouble and cause chaos."

"Then, take the opportunity to use my key, pretend to be the Blood Demon’s demon companion, unlock the door for him, and rescue him."

"Finally, here’s the key point."

"After you rescue him, send him out of the Foolish Underworld and then pretend to leave."

"Actually, I want you to secretly track the Blood Demon, see where it goes and who it contacts."

"I want you to jot down all this information, and if possible, find their demon hiding spot and then report back to me."

"That way, without having to say a word, the Blood Demon will have delivered the intelligence about the demons right into my hands!"

Li Baizhen went on with his speech.

Shi Chengxin’s eyes had already grown wide.

His mouth formed an O-shape.

As if quite shocked.

Then coming back to his senses, Shi Chengxin gave a thumbs up.

"Boss, this strategy of luring the snake out of its hole is brilliant!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Of course! Otherwise, how could I be your boss?"

Handing the key to Shi Chengxin, Li Baizhen said with a laugh: "Alright, go and prepare. We act tonight, remember, don’t tell anyone else."

"This matter, only heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, understood?"

Shi Chengxin naturally nodded repeatedly.

"I got it, Boss! Rest assured! Tonight, you can count on me!"

After giving a few more detailed instructions,

Shi Chengxin left.

Li Baizhen watched Shi Chengxin’s retreating figure, his thoughts profound.

At this moment, the sky had already gradually darkened.

"It’s time to start the plan."

In another small courtyard of the Foolish Underworld.

Yue Guang and other demons were gathered, discussing something.

"According to the latest information we’ve gathered, when Li Baizhen returned to the Foolish Underworld two days ago, he was holding a... demon’s head."

"There is no doubt, one of our own has been captured!"

"I need a plan, to figure out how to rescue him!"

No mistake.

That was the Blood Demon!

Based on the timing and descriptions from those who saw it, that head was indeed the Blood Demon’s.

What Yue Guang didn’t expect was that the Blood Demon, reduced to nothing but a head, could still be alive.

Now it was still locked up in prison, enduring cruel torture.

Fists clenched.

The Blood Demon had already proven its loyalty.

Now, it was time for me to figure out a way to rescue him.

But faced with Yue Guang’s proposal for the rescue.

The others in the room were silent.

Suddenly, the strongest among them, Tang Shan, spoke up.

"Yue Guang, a demon isn’t worth the risk."

With Tang Shan leading, the others joined in agreeing.

"Yeah, rescuing someone from jail is too risky."

"Right, right, we just caused a big commotion the day before yesterday, now going to raid the jail is like walking into the line of fire."

"I have no objection to looking for opportunities at the jail, but to rescue... I think it’s better to let our comrade-in-arms be freed first."

Yue Guang’s face darkened upon hearing these words.

He gathered the demons under his command through the status of a Pure Blood Demon.

But the demons who pledged allegiance to him were not wholeheartedly loyal.

Everyone had their own scheming.

Compared to Yue Guang’s commands, the idea of saving someone, they would rather preserve their pathetic human disguises.

The only ones who truly obeyed his orders were Lin Xiaosheng’s group.

And naturally, the Blood Demon as well.

Yue Guang’s face turned gloomy as he said coldly.

"I’ll repeat it once more, prepare for the jailbreak, to save him. This is an order!"

"Unless you all want to face Lord Lan’s questioning at our next gathering about why you wouldn’t obey my command?"

Hearing Yue Guang mention that high authority, everyone’s face changed color.

Yue Guang’s position was like Shuang Xuyao’s, like Red Moon Demon’s.

A small leader of a group of demons.

Above them were the truly terrifying ones.

Everyone fell silent.

Only then did Yue Guang continue.

"Tomorrow, I’ll have the rescue plan ready. You just need to follow the actions but..."

Tap tap tap.

Someone was approaching from outside, interrupting Yue Guang.

Seeing the newcomer, Yue Guang was not polite, speaking directly.

"You’ve arrived just in time, let me tell you the current situation..."

"No need."

Shi Chengxin interrupted directly.

Shi Chengxin’s rare assertiveness made the others look puzzled.

Then, they saw Shi Chengxin revealing a key.

The key to Cell No. 10 in the A-grade prison area.

Everyone fixed their eyes on it, all of them suddenly widening their eyes.
