Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

--new player?

——It looks so familiar. I also know 123. Who is this?

——Linda.

——Linda.

——Yes, Linda, she looks very much like a mixed-race child.

——Looks like a mixed-race person.

——Not a new player, no live broadcast room.

——Linda was eliminated?

——That copy doesn’t have it. If it is eliminated, it will be other copies.

——So, Linda is an NPC?

——Island owner???

"Hello." Lin Xi smiled and asked. "What are you doing?"

Linda used her hand to lift her slightly curly hair and said, "One of my earrings fell off. I'm looking for it."

After that, Linda smiled again and said, "Welcome to Qingka Islands. I have prepared a perfect room for you. Do you want to go and see it together? You can also watch the live broadcast in the room, which is very interesting."

——Damn, it’s really an NPC.

——She became an NPC and still recognized 123, which means that NPCs also have memories of the past.

——She seems to be the owner of the island.

——That’s right, other NPCs all said that “our island owner” had prepared something, but she directly said “I prepared it for you”.

——It couldn’t be that the dead island owner was also a woman!

——I don’t know clearly or what I want to know. I am very confused now.

"Are you the island owner?" Lin Xi asked directly.

"Yes!" Linda said. "There are six islands in the Qingka Archipelago, three of which have been developed. I am in charge of this island, and the other two are in charge of the other two islands."

"Do you know the other two people?" Lin Xi asked.

"I've seen them in the video," Linda replied. "One is a man in his fifties, slightly plump, very white, and not bad looking. The other is a very handsome young man, very handsome."

"That man in his fifties has a mole on the tip of his nose?" Lin Xi asked.

"Yes, I like to wear casual clothes." Linda replied.

——I remember the first man who was killed by 123 with a hammer.

——Yes, he looked back.

——He looks very ordinary and is not noticeable in a crowd.

——It’s not that disgusting, but I didn’t expect it to be so perverted.

"What are the characteristics of that handsome young man?" Huang Jingjing asked.

Linda thought about it carefully and smiled charmingly: "Nothing special about him, just handsome. Oh, by the way, I have his photo, let me show you."

Linda said as she took out a photo from her phone and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi looked at it and seemed to have never seen it before.

I looked at the others, and I really haven't seen it.

"How about it, do you want to go to the hotel with me?" Linda said with a smile. "The performances in our hotel are really wonderful. By the way, I'll give you some tickets. If you don't want to watch the live broadcast, you can go to the scene to watch. They are all performances by handsome men and beautiful women. There is a beautiful woman who sings really beautifully, very ethereal, and plays the guitar very well. If you miss it, you won't be able to see it!"

As she spoke, Linda took out a few tickets from her bag, counted out five, and handed them to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi took it and looked at the others.

Why does it feel like the live broadcast and performance that Linda described are somewhat different from what they had seen on the two islands before?

"Apart from this, are there any other performances on the island?" Hai Mei asked.

"No more." Linda said, looking a little depressed. "My island is not as popular as the other two islands. There are fewer tourists. I don't know what kind of performances they put on that are so attractive."

"Okay, let's go shopping first. If we have time, we can go and watch it. If we don't, forget it." Lin Xi said, and then said, "Maybe we can see it on the big screen while we're shopping."

"Yes, you can also see it on the big screen." Linda said. "It doesn't start until 2 pm, you can go shopping first and help me find my earrings."

Linda said, lifting her hair to show them her earrings: "Like this."

Lin Xi said: "We will pay attention."

Linda was probably tired of looking, so she stopped looking, waved to them, and turned away.

Watching Linda walk away, Huang Jingjing asked, "Teacher Mu, do you know her?"

"The players who entered the same dungeon before should have been eliminated and become NPCs." Lin Xi said, and then asked, "Do you think the other island owner escaped to this island?"

"What you mean is that this island is normal, Linda is not a bad person, and the reason we failed to complete the mission is that one of the island owners ran away?" asked Haimei.

"It's very likely." Lin Xi said. "We saw two helicopters, one was closer and very large, and the other was farther away and its size could not be determined. I suspect that the tourists took the larger helicopter to the second island, and the owner of the first island came to this island. The owner of the second island, who I shot dead, was killed so easily because the tourists were only interested in watching the live broadcast and had not yet told him what happened on the other island."

"Moreover, the three islands may be competing with each other secretly and don't care about the affairs of other islands." Huang Jingjing interjected.

"However, we can't completely trust Linda's words. Everything depends on the situation." Lin Xi said. "Now, let's walk around and look for a map."

"Okay." Everyone else agreed.

A few people walked along the beach for a while, and as they walked, they lowered their heads to help Linda find the earrings.

"There's something here." Xiaonan said, bending down to pick it up.

"There's actually a note." Lin Xi laughed. "After what happened yesterday, I thought there were no more clues or taboos!"

Xiaonan opened the note and saw a number written on it - 4.

"What do you mean?" Linlin was puzzled.

"It means that Linda might be lying." Hai Mei said. "There are four developed islands and four island owners."

"She may have told more than one lie." Lin Xi said thoughtfully. "The island owner who was in his 50s was real, and he is dead. The other island owner may not be that handsome guy. No, that handsome guy is also an island owner, but there is another one who is the real owner of the first island."

"Linda protected the owner of the first island, but showed us the photo of the fourth owner?" Huang Jingjing said. "Why?"

"They want us to kill that handsome guy." Hai Mei interrupted. "Reason? Love turned into hate? Or maybe that handsome guy's philosophy is different from the other three."

"Let me sort it out. There are four developed islands and four island owners. Linda, the one who died, and the owner of the first island all rely on exciting and perverted methods to attract tourists. They might even sell the tamed women or men to perverts for profit. But the fourth island owner is different from them. Linda learned about us from the first island owner and also knew Xiaobei, so she lied to us. In this way, we will not only let her and the people on this island go, but we may also kill that handsome guy." Xiaonan said.

"That means the owner of the first island and the handsome guy are both on this island," Hai Mei said. "If we use the same method as before, we might kill the handsome guy as well."
