Gazing at the account charging talisman, Zhao Yao could not decide whether to wear it or not.
He went into deep thoughts while staring at the talisman.
“This game… I suppose there’s no bloodshed and no real harm.”
Zhao Yao thought about the game design. He did not participate in the fighting but he observed Matcha and the supercats fighting. There was no indication of bloodshed or harm done. He had to base his guess on the Closer pet’s skill and the visual effects.
“Using money to heal damages… Damages are like a black hole… No one apart from the games company can determine the extent…”
“Can’t the games company deduct any amount they like?”
Zhao Yao decided not to use the account charging talisman.
“Let me go in and check first. At worst, I’ll be defeated in the dungeon. Otherwise, I’ll lose a lot of money.”
Zhao Yao thought for a while before continuing forward. He went through the main door and arrived in a garden.
As he was about to step outside, the sky started raining.
“Raining?” Zhao Yao stepped out into the rain and vanished after flashing rays of light. He had died in the game.
Zhao Yao was dumbfounded when he appeared at the revival point of the Beginner’s Village. He had no idea how he died.
He contacted the supercats via Wechat and let them enter the Scripture Library one by one. He also told them not to use the talisman. He ran hastily back to the dungeon location.
The WeChat group was filled with messages of the supercats dying in the dungeon.
Elizabeth said, “The rain’s poisonous! I perished when I was exposed to it.”
Gaia said, “The rain’s damage is very high! Elizabeth only lasted three seconds before dying.”
Zhao Yao asked, “Do you have any way to shield yourselves from the rain?”
Gaia said, “I was shielded from the rain… but I died.”
Rice Cake said, “There’s poison in the air and I was poisoned to death.”
Matcha said, “Hahaha, I used Lightning to shield myself as I held my breath and charged across. Finally, it’s my turn…”
Matcha said, “S*it, I rushed into a house and it exploded…”
After receiving the supercats’ Wechat messages, Zhao Yao had a clearer idea of the dungeon.
Basically, the supercats all died the further they ventured into the dungeon.
There were no monsters to fight. Instead, countless traps caught the players unawares and they could only dodge or brace themselves for the damage.
When Zhao Yao met the revived Matcha in the dungeon, his progress into the dungeon had already stagnated.
“We can’t breathe as the air is poisoned. We can’t be exposed to the poisoned rain either. We can’t step on the ground as it has electrical traps. We can’t destroy the houses as the dungeon will explode…” Gaia explained the difficulties and said in a daze, “This is too difficult! This dungeon is too difficult! The designer has no intention for us to pass through!”
Zhao Yao frowned as he knew it was the game designer forcing them to use the account charging talisman.
“It’s telling me I can’t pass without charging my account and I can’t enter the Commerce City without money.”
“Hehe,” Zhao Yao sneered and said, “I’ll deposit money and meet up with you later.”
Zhao Yao was decisive. If he could spend money and get through the dungeon, he would do it. He was a rich player and he was going to charge his account with money.
“I’m going to use the items in the Commerce City to increase my profile and accumulate the energy for evolution,” Zhao Yao thought. “Humph, when Diana’s evolution level is high enough to defeat the alien cats, I’ll win back all the money that I have lost.”
Zhao Yao stepped into the dungeon and tore his talisman.
Countless bright lights formed a screen with rows of words that became an agreement.
Zhao Yao read through the agreement, which was to use his money to heal his damage. If he did not have enough money, he would not be able to leave the dungeon. Even if he died, he would be revived in the dungeon.
He could also draw up his bill anytime and give up conquering the dungeon.
Zhao Yao looked at the panel which asked repeatedly for confirmation of the payment.
“This virtual game… Is it for people to play?” Zhao Yao agreed and the agreement broke into many pieces and became a panel above his head. It showed zero.
“This! Could it be…” Zhao Yao squinted his eyes and strode towards the deep end of the dungeon.
Poisoned rain fell but Zhao Yao was unharmed. He looked at the number above his head and it was increasing by the hundreds. Even the air smelled of money.
Seeing the numbers increasing rapidly, Zhao Yao got a fright and bolted. Under the protection of his money, he was unharmed and he went through numerous doors. Finally, he arrived at the deepest end of the dungeon and a shiny golden door appeared before him.
Zhao Yao noticed that the number above his head had reached more than 5000.
“D*mn, it’s more than 5000 already?”
He touched the number above his forehead and said angrily, “5000… gone like that?”
Zhao Yao opened the huge door reluctantly and blinding golden light came out, causing him to squint his eyes. He saw a golden hall and as he was about to enter, a hand grabbed his calf.
Zhao Yao was stunned as he looked at the man grabbing his calf. He said, “Don’t go in. Don’t go in!”
Zhao Yao looked at the name above his head and it said, “My family owns a gold mine.” He was a rich game player.
Zhao Yao was shocked and he thought about the agreement he had agreed to. Zhao Yao looked at him and said, “Hey? Are you a player? Are you trapped here because you can’t pay?”
He nodded his head wildly and said, “Never ever go inside. The dungeon is not meant to be conquered! Once the damage is more than what I can pay, I have to stay here forever.”
Zhao Yao looked speechless at him. This game was ruthlessly trapping players who could not pay up.
He continued and said, “There are more dangerous and powerful traps inside. Even millionaires were made bankrupt by the traps.
This is just the beginning. Besides the traps, there are many rare and powerful creatures that will surround and attack you. Even a billionaire will lose his entire fortune and be trapped in the Scripture Library with no hope of seeing daylight.”
Zhao Yao asked, “Why are you so excited about the account charging in the game?”
