Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

After the meal, the nine people planned to go directly to the fifth floor.

But when I got into the elevator, I found that the fifth floor button was grey no matter how I pressed it.

They pressed the buttons for floors six to twelve, and without exception, they were all gray.

"The fifth to twelfth floors must be closed," Lin Xi said. "No wonder the first to third floors are so crowded."

The third floor not only sells food, but also some small appliances. The second floor has clothes, cosmetics, etc.

"But why is it shut down?" Huang Jingjing said, grinning. "Our mission is to find out the reason why this building is in such a bad state and restore it to normal!"

"The reason is easy to tell. Just ask around and it should be pretty clear," He Min said. "The key is to solve the problem and get back to normal, which seems to be a bit troublesome."

Several people came out of the elevator while talking.

"Let's go ask the merchants separately first." Lin Xi said. "Then we'll meet at the front door on the first floor and go outside to ask. If I'm right, we probably won't be able to find out anything from the merchants."

"Let's try it!" Guo Yuelang said. "If the merchant won't tell us, then there really is a problem."

——Hahahahahahahahahaha I suddenly want to laugh, what’s going on?

——You didn’t want to laugh, you just couldn’t help laughing.

——And laughed very loudly.

——I want to too, hahahahahahaha.

——This crappy game really looks down on the players, letting them do everything.

——Not only do you have to work, you also have to observe taboos.

——There are copies without taboos, so won’t this copy have one too?

——Have you ever seen a hotel stay without any taboos?

——Have you ever seen a hotel without taboos?

——Oh my god, I almost forgot.

——I would have forgotten it even if you hadn’t told me.

——But 133 and the others did not forget. When the handsome Xinxin left, neither 123 nor Teacher Huang closed the door.

——Handsome boy Xinxin came back without knocking on the door.

——The other players were the same, waiting in the corridor without knocking on the door.

——As expected, the players are better than us.

——Sure enough, I couldn’t survive the trial period after entering the dungeon.

As Lin Xi expected, after she asked four merchants, no one answered her questions, and the expressions on the merchants' faces were a little strange.

It is hard to tell whether they are unwilling to speak or they are afraid to speak. Some people want to say something but still don't.

Lin Xi sat next to a girl who was eating and took the time to ask. The girl looked around and lowered her voice.

"I heard that the building was built less than a year ago, and five people have already jumped from the fifth-floor bathroom," the girl said softly. "Many businesses have moved away, and those that haven't moved have all squeezed down to floors below the fifth floor."

"So that's how it is." Lin Xi looked like he finally understood. "I was wondering, how come it looks like a high-end mall from the outside, but inside it's like a grocery store, with not many customers."

"I heard from many people that those who jump off the building are customers who come here to spend money, so fewer and fewer people come here," the girl said. "But the things here are really cheap, so there are still people coming here."

——It turns out it’s not haunted.

——It must be haunted, otherwise why would businesses use small mirrors?

——Why did everyone jump off the building for no reason?

——When encountering difficulties, or suffering from depression or something like that.

——Then there’s no need to go to other shopping malls. Isn’t that a rip-off?

——It’s just that no one has seen a ghost, it doesn’t necessarily mean that there are no ghosts.

——That makes sense. Those people might have nothing to do. They just came here for a stroll and died.

"Did they all jump off the building during the day?" Lin Xi asked.

"I'm not sure either, I think so." said the girl.

Lin Xi nodded, thanked him, and didn't stay on the third floor for long. He took the elevator directly to the first floor.

Guo Yuelang and the others were already waiting at the gate.

Lin Xi didn't waste any time. She told everyone what she had found out while they walked out together.

"It's about the same as what I heard..."

Before Huang Jingjing could finish her words, she heard a "bang".

Lin Xi quickly turned around and saw people in the building running out.

People near the building also ran over here.

The nine people looked at each other and hurried back.

"It's her!" Lin Xi said softly.

"Know him?" Lichun asked.

"I just found out from her on the third floor." Lin Xi said. "Who knew she would die in such a short time."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he looked up.

All the windows from the second to the fourth floor were closed, only a set of windows on the fifth floor were open, and it looked pitch black.

"It looks like he jumped from the bathroom on the fifth floor again." Someone in the crowd whispered.

"Aren't all floors above the fifth floor closed? Neither the elevator nor the stairs can go up." someone else said.

"I don't know. I haven't been in there for a long time."

"I did go shopping, but who would dare to look at the stairs? Maybe it's not sealed properly!"

"It's terrible. I heard that many workers died when this building was first built."

"Yes, eight died," someone said. "At that time, there were rumors that this place should not be built into a shopping mall, but into a plaza with a fountain."

"I heard that eight more people have to die. This is the sixth one."

"Who would dare to come under such circumstances?"

"Everything in the mall across the street is expensive, but the business is booming," someone said. "The people who built this mall are probably crying their eyes out because they lost a lot of money."

"Haven't all the shops been sold? The ones who are losing money are the merchants who bought the shops!"

"Some are for sale, and some are for rent."

"Anyway, it's better not to go in there. It's too scary."

——That’s good, they don’t have to ask 123.

——This year’s NPCs are still very powerful.

——But it’s also scary. People would jump off buildings for no reason.

——It’s either without reason or it’s very weird, okay!

——Those merchants might as well move away. Why do they need to do business here?

——I guess some of them bought it and couldn’t sell it. Some of them bought it because they wanted cheap rent.

——The main thing is, it’s not the merchants who die, but the customers!

——Is the merchant warding off evil spirits because of the small mirror?

——I don’t know. I’m not sure.

Lin Xi and the others looked at each other and stepped out of the crowd.

"Shall we go to the shopping mall diagonally opposite?" asked Datang.

"Three people went to that mall, three people went to ask at other shops on the opposite street, and three people stayed on this street to ask." Guo Yuelang said.

Since Lin Xi, Huang Jingjing and Guo Yuelang had mobile phones, the three of them separated.

Lin Xi is in a group with Yu Shuangshuang and Lichun.

Huang Jingjing is in a group with He Min and Xiao Shuai.

Guo Yuelang is in a group with the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.

"We can keep in touch via mobile phone at any time," said Lin Xi.

"Okay." Huang Jingjing said. "You guys have to be extra careful on this street."

"We are all outside the Lanqing Building, nothing is wrong." Lin Xi smiled. "If those places nearby were also dangerous, there wouldn't be so many people coming and going."

But now, those people were watching the girl jumping off the building.

It turns out that people don't care about things that don't concern them, but they like to join in any fun.
