Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

——Players really can’t think of so many things. They can’t enter a dungeon and use a silver needle to test for poison!

——Why not? Isn’t there someone in a certain copy carrying drug testing tools?

——But most people don’t carry it, nor do they think so.

——Yes, didn’t 123 also eat the cake given to her by the fifth brother?

——That’s right, no one would have thought that NPCs would poison other NPCs.

——It seems that I have to be careful in the future. Not only players can poison, but NPCs can too.

——Rong Yan is also miserable, how could it become like this!

The audience in the live broadcast room were discussing when they heard a "ding" sound: "Congratulations to all players for completing the task of finding all the surviving players."

Just such a cold sentence, nothing else.

Even if the system doesn't notify them, they know that they have completed the task.

"I've only completed two tasks, and there are still three to go." Huang Jingjing sighed. "Why do I feel that the last three will be more difficult to complete!"

"Peace is the hardest one," said Lin Xi.

"I suddenly feel like fishing isn't that fun anymore," Huang Jingjing said as she threw her fishing rod into the lake. "How long are we going to stay here?"

"It's OK, at least there are no taboos and it's not that tense." Lin Xi said. "Come on, let's go fishing, just like we are outside, on vacation."

In the morning, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing caught five fish in total, three big ones and two small ones. At noon, the two of them stewed the small ones into fish soup.

There are also leftover vegetables, steamed buns and porridge from the morning.

"I've decided that next time I go into a dungeon, I'll bring in some rice and steamed buns, and also get an electric rice cooker so I can cook porridge and rice." Huang Jingjing said as she ate. "These are still delicious. I've eaten too much convenience food, and that's enough."

"The main thing is that even after we bring it in, we may not have time to make it. For some copies, there is not even a place to cook," said Lin Xi.

"That's right." Huang Jingjing said.

After dinner, the two of them looked in the live broadcast room to see what other players were doing.

Hongyu and Du Ruo were still in the palace, accompanying Princess Rui to attend a palace banquet. It was not yet the maids' turn to eat, but the two of them had already taken turns eating the food in the summoned copy.

Hong Xia was in a concubine's courtyard and did not attend the palace banquet. She was very relaxed today. She watched the little palace maid clean up and everything was fine.

Seeing that the live broadcast room was open, Meng Zhiyuan and his friends stopped hanging around the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, as they had already checked out most of the spots anyway.

Lin Xu returned to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, while Meng Zhiyuan and Xiao Ci went to look for the Lin brothers separately.

Xiao Ci went back to Lin Chiheng's yard to wait for Lin Baichuan, while Meng Zhiyuan went to look for Lin Zhiqiu.

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing, two idle people, had a good nap.

After taking a nap, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing went for a walk by the lake, but still found no clues, so they came back to prepare dinner.

There was rice here, and they cooked porridge, steamed buns, and Lin Xi baked a few pancakes. They were not the hard marching pancakes, but soft pancakes.

There were also some vegetables that Lin Zhiqiu brought over. Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing didn't leave any raw meat or the like in the copy, so they summoned some convenience foods.

Roast goose, dried shrimps, salted peanuts and the like, and two stewed fish.

In the evening, only Meng Zhiyuan and the other three and Lin Zhiqiu came back. Hong Xia couldn't come out. Du Ruo and Princess Rui went to the palace, and Hong Yu went to Deyue Tower to perform again.

Lin Xi understood Hongyu's thoughts very well. There were a lot of different people in Deyue Tower and there were many rumors.

While eating, several people praised the delicious dishes cooked by the two of them. Of course, the most important thing was to avenge the Lin brothers.

"I asked Zhiqiu, and they are very sure that Prime Minister Zhang is the murderer who killed their parents. As for who else is involved, they are not quite sure yet." Meng Zhiyuan said.

"Brother Lin, do you mean to investigate this thoroughly and work together?" Lin Xi asked.

"That's what I originally thought, but I was afraid of alerting the enemy." Lin Zhiqiu said. "If Prime Minister Zhang was killed by an assassin, the capital would definitely be under martial law, with a large-scale manhunt and the like."

"We can think of other ways instead of assassination," Lin Xi said. "However, there was a poisoning incident in his house recently, so he should be on high alert, unless he staged it himself to alert the enemy."

"Could it be that he wanted to kill his own mother and wife?" Huang Jingjing asked. "Otherwise, the death of a few working people in the mansion should not alarm the emperor!"

"Fuck, is it so cruel?" Xiao Ci blurted out.

"They probably wanted to take this opportunity to put the emperor on alert throughout the city and openly search for us brothers and sisters." Lin Zhiqiu said. "It seems that the emperor may not be the mastermind behind this, and may just have acquiesced to his actions. But if he is dead, it will be different."

"He could have avoided being assassinated by an accident or something like that." Meng Zhiyuan said. "Let us think about it. Leave this matter to us. Why don't you take your brothers and sisters and leave the capital first?"

"If it really has nothing to do with the emperor, we won't be in danger even if we are in the capital," Lin Zhiqiu said. "If it is related, it doesn't matter where we are."

"That's true." Xiao Ci said.

"Even if there's no emperor, there must be others." Lin Xi said. "Who are the people who are close to Prime Minister Zhang?"

"Minister Yuan from the Ministry of War, and...Prince Qing." Lin Zhiqiu said.

"Who is Prince Qing?" Lin Xi asked.

Doesn't the emperor have only two younger brothers left? Prince An and Prince Rui. Prince An is blind.

"He is the emperor's cousin." Lin Zhiqiu said. "When the emperor ascended the throne, the old Prince Qing made a lot of efforts."

Lin Xi, Huang Jingjing, Xiao Ci and Meng Zhiyuan looked at each other. It seemed that this Prince Qing needed to be investigated.

——Sure enough, getting clues from NPCs is the easiest and most direct way.

——You don’t even have to look for it, just ask.

——What if you encounter an NPC who deliberately guides you in the opposite direction?

——Maybe there will be.

——So far, not yet.

"Prime Minister Zhang, leave this to us. When we decide on a date, you can go find three or five close friends and get evidence of your absence." Meng Zhiyuan said. "As for the others, we will investigate them as well. You brothers and sisters should not show up for now."

——Brother Meng is really worried about Lin Zhiqiu.

——Brother Meng, wake up. Once you get out of the copy, you may never see him again in your life.

——Fuck, just watch the game properly and don’t make it so sad.

——Don’t worry, players are more rational and smarter than us, otherwise they wouldn’t be alive today.

"This is a matter between us siblings, you'd better not get involved." Lin Zhiqiu said.

"We will leave here, and you won't." Meng Zhiyuan said immediately.

——The copy cannot be closed, he will continue to stay in the copy.

——What happens if the copy is closed?

——If each copy is a world, even if the copy is closed, the people inside should continue to live.

——Everyone, there is no need to discuss this in such a profound way.

——Yes, we are just spectators, no need to worry so much.

——But I am really curious, is a dungeon a world, or is the NPC just role-playing?
