Infinitely Criticizing the Villain for Being Like My Ex-Boyfriend

When he woke up again, he was in an alley in a busy city. Zhang Chunliang sat up from a straw mat in a daze. There was no one around him.

Last night's experience left him with lingering fears. Ever since he heard the words coming from under the bed, he fell into a coma and thought his gaming journey was over.

But he didn't expect that after he woke up, he would face an even more outrageous scene.

"Young man, are you looking for a job?" The smiling old lady came up to him and stuffed a meat bun into his hand.

"It's not good to sleep here. Auntie sees that you are suitable for me, so I'll introduce you to a job. There is a place with food and accommodation, and it pays ten copper coins a day..."

Zhang Chunliang was in a shady corner. Logically, no one should have paid attention to him. However, after he woke up, a group of people gradually gathered around him.

"I'm looking for a worker here. Twenty copper coins a day. Just feed my livestock..."

"I need a book boy to grind ink... the price is negotiable."

"My kitchen is still short of a helper. Come and give it a try, young man. Money is not a problem!"

Kind faces surrounded him, and they stretched out their hands to pull his sleeves. The force was so great that he could not refuse, and the struggle seemed to tear him apart.

"Excuse me, everyone. This is my brother. We have found a job together."

The strong man pushed through the crowd, grabbed Zhang Chunliang's arm, and blocked him behind him.

In an instant, the surroundings fell silent. The smiling faces gradually became expressionless, staring gloomily at the person who came.

"Are you going to rob me?"

"Don't you know what first come first served means?"

“Give it back to me, give it back to me, give it back to me…!”

The citizens realized that the duck they had caught was about to fly away, so they stopped pretending to be who they were, their faces became distorted, and they moved closer to the two men.

"Please make way for us. We are late for work. The manager of the City Lord's Mansion will not forgive us." The man seemed unaware of the horrified changes in the citizens. He gave a bitter smile and bowed to everyone.

As if they heard the three words "City Lord's Mansion", everyone showed a trace of fear and slowly made way for each other.

The two hurriedly left and walked into a remote alley. Zhang Chunliang hurriedly looked back and saw some unwilling citizens staring at him and chasing after them step by step.

The man held him tightly, turning left and right in the winding alleys. He was very nervous, and his hand holding Zhang Chunliang was sweating.

Finally, the two got rid of the pursuit of the city NPCs and stopped in an empty corner.

"You're not dead yet?!" the man gasped, looking at him in disbelief.

"It was really thrilling just now. Thank you very much, Brother Chen."

Zhang Chunliang was also frightened and broke out in a sweat. After listening to Tingying's narration yesterday, he understood that the so-called work in this city was to find ways to kill players. He almost couldn't refuse just now and was dragged to "work".

"It's not a big deal. You saved my life once. Let's make up for it." The man waved his hand generously and looked up and down at the little saint father.

He was Chen Dayong, who had previously given Zhang Chunliang a copper coin and helped him survive the crisis for three hours.

"Why are you there? It's too dangerous! These citizens are not good people! A lot of players died yesterday. How did you survive? Oh, where is that rubbish you were with?"

Chen Dayong had a lot of questions in his mind, and he asked them out like a machine gun.

Zhang Chunliang told him the story of what happened yesterday, omitting the part about the tattoo gun and only saying that he happened to know a folk remedy for indigestion and it saved his life.

He paused, then mentioned Tingying again: "I don't know why, but I lost contact with her when I woke up today."

Zhang Chunliang did not reveal Tingying's identity as a woman. Since she dressed up as a man, she probably didn't want people to know her gender.

Unexpectedly, the man who was a little excited just now suddenly calmed down and looked at him with strange eyes.

"You said, you saw Tingying?" he repeated as if to confirm.

"That's right. We agreed to keep watch together last night, but she disappeared today." Zhang Chunliang was a little worried whether something had happened to her. After all, her appearance yesterday left a deep shadow on him.

"Impossible!" Chen Dayong frowned, as if he was thinking about something. He hesitated for a moment, and finally told Zhang Chunliang: "Tingying died yesterday. Several players saw it with their own eyes."

"What?" Zhang Chunliang was puzzled. He clearly saw a living person yesterday! He paused and said, "You must have seen it wrong. I saw him yesterday. He was indeed seriously injured, but he finally healed himself with props."

"But the key is that there is no possibility for him to survive." Chen Dayong recounted what a group of players saw and heard yesterday.

Tingying has always been a crazy gambler. He disdains to do odd jobs to earn a meager income. They will live here for ten days and cannot spend all their time on making money.

So he chose to go to the gambling house and make a small bet for a big gain.

"He gambled away everything he had," Chen Dayong recalled. "He won a lot of money at first and rationally decided to stop, but then the owner of the gambling house told him he needed to pay a 10-copper table fee."

Zhang Chunliang seemed to realize something and frowned.

"After he paid the fee, he suddenly became a different person. He decided to gamble again, contrary to his usual behavior. Then he started to lose money endlessly. He lost all his coins. He was so desperate that he even took out his own props as collateral, but he also lost everything. It was like he had completely lost his mind."

Chen Dayong said solemnly, "Later, he started to mortgage himself. First his legs, then his heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and then his head... When we left, his head had been made into a human head lamp by the boss and placed at the entrance of the gambling house, saying 'Welcome' to every guest."

The vivid imagery described by Chen Dayong was so vivid that it gave Zhang Chunliang goosebumps. He noticed a strange thing in this story - the copper coin.

"I suspect there's something fishy about the copper coins the system gave us." Chen Dayong also came to this conclusion: "Tingying won all chips at the time and didn't have time to exchange them for copper coins. He used his own money to pay the stage fee, and then he lost his mind."

"We must figure out the function of copper coins. I've got some ideas..." Chen Dayong's face looked a little ugly. He seemed to remember something. "By the way, is the copper coin I gave you before you left still there? Take it out and let's see."

Zhang Chunliang then remembered that he still had one coin on him. He quickly searched his entire body, and finally his face turned pale. He murmured, "It's gone... It was that "Tingying"... She took my coin."

Chen Dayong cursed in a low voice.

"It seems that they took it away when I was asleep. It was her who did it yesterday!" Zhang Chunliang said to Chen Dayong anxiously, "The system reminded me when I was asleep that I had no copper coins and lost my citizenship. Now I only have one and a half hours to live!"

This was a bolt from the blue, which meant that Zhang Chunliang had to find a job within an hour and ask his boss to advance his wages!

But there are no normal jobs in this city. Once you go to work, you might just die in a different way!

The two were at a loss.

"Now you only have one place to go." Chen Dayong made up his mind and looked at him.
