Chapter 102: Salted Fish Player

Novel by Three Hundred Jin's Smile

Not only were the spy agents speechless, but even Xu Zhi, sitting in the orchard, was speechless. These people are truly wild; how can they get so hyped up over anything?

However, countless people became increasingly excited.

"I've learned the survival strategies from the big shots! We're originally parasitic organs, so we need to find a way to coexist with nearby giant beasts and become one of their organs. My strand of hair will also try to parasitize a giant beast and become a prominent 'antenna' on its head!"

"The one above, you're too conspicuous growing on the head! It's easy to expose your identity to red-name players. You must hide. As hair, why don't you consider rooting yourself somewhere on the giant beast's body and becoming its... armpit hair?!"

"Guys, anyone looking to team up?"

"Yes, we ordinary organ players need to stick together for warmth! After all, we have no conflicting interests and won't kill each other, because we aren't muscle tissues that can integrate organs."

"Private message sent."

These people no longer dared to screenshot and post openly, nor did they dare to ask for too much help from netizens. They all chose to hide and communicate privately.

In fact, being discovered after only raiding more than twenty people was much faster than expected. The spies had underestimated the talent among these online communities; although their thought processes were unusual, they were by no means foolish.

"These players have a good mentality, which is not bad," Xu Zhi mused.

Xu Zhi leisurely munched on an apple, chewing with loud crunching sounds. "However, even with their vigilance, most ordinary players would find it difficult to evade the professional tracking and investigation of those seven individuals. It's likely that fewer than thirty will survive, perhaps even only five or six."

Undoubtedly, this battle royale was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

It remains to be seen how many of these "sheep" can grow and transform into another "tiger" amidst the pursuit and pressure.

"However, fewer people is better."

Xu Zhi stated that he was a creator devoid of emotion. "After all, their 'evolving species task' is complete, and the Evil God has also been released into the grand sandbox world. These 'workers' are no longer useful. It's time to 'slaughter the donkey after it's done grinding' and use these seven individuals to clear out a large number of them."

"With major top research institutes backing them, those seven will undoubtedly do their utmost to develop within, advance the sandbox civilization, enhance their own power, and defeat their opponents."

Their competition will benefit him.

This is what you call 'the snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman profits.'

Xu Zhi's gaze shifted towards Chen Xi, wondering how she was doing; he still needed to pay some attention to her.

"Speaking of which, I can give her a good identity. Unlike other short-haired organs, as a strand of the Evil God's hair, it is extremely slender and forms a long lock of hair, barely able to substitute for muscle, combine various organs, secretly unite with various players, and become a leader... It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her the hidden fourteenth core player of the Round Table Conference."

No one else had expected to be broken apart and enter the organ recombination phase.

However, Xu Zhi had long planned for this, naturally allowing Chen Xi to seize the opportunity to choose hair. This way, she became a pseudo-muscle player, able to gather her own group of members and even compete with the others.

In a certain dark forest.

A scalp, with countless strands of hair, was fused together.

Chunzi Loves Learning: "Hahaha, we two sisters actually weren't separated; we're together!"

Tin Foil: "The scalp and hair still stick together tightly, so we have each other for company."

Chunzi Loves Learning: "So what should we do next? Should we play battle royale or Werewolf?"

Chen Xi thought for a moment and whispered, "I came here to enjoy the scenery. I plan to be a casual player who just appreciates the view. Fighting and killing really aren't suitable for girls."

Chunzi Loves Learning: "Then what should we do?"

Tin Foil: "How about we make money? Let's make money together, buy estates, live in luxury villas, research gourmet food, cook delicious meals together, go shopping, travel, explore the world! I want to see the beautiful phoenix trees deep in the great desert! I also want to see the Evil Eyes living in the swampy mud! I want to see the Clock Tower at the peak of Babylon's capital! And I especially want to see the legendary world-class creation, Adolf!"

This one already had a travel guide for the otherworld.

Chunzi Loves Learning: "Great! Anyway, they can fight their battles, and we casual players will just do our own thing, traveling the world in this other realm. These two organs will disappear without a trace from now on; we won't go back and reassemble with them, not even if it kills us... So how do we make money? Online, I saw some casual players like us who said they don't want to 'eat chicken' or compete. Apparently, they plan to raise two small animals, plant fruit trees, cross-breed them, and then brew wine to make money. After all, the wine in this world is too primitive and undrinkable, lacking mature manufacturing processes."

"Ah! Is he playing a farming simulation game? Brewing wine, farming, raising pets? Then our sisters' business opportunity is... writing novels!"

Chen Xi immediately stated that although she didn't play games, as a novel enthusiast, she was quite capable of writing stories. "Let's learn the native language and do translation work. The civilization of this native world is too impoverished; it has no wine culture history, no music, not even novels. All their books are rigid historical biographies and various serious witchcraft texts. The Alchemist Emperor, a transmigrator, brought technology, but we should bring ancient culture! Let's become 'plagiarists,' translating novels to make this other world's civilization vibrant, colorful, and rich."

Chunzi Loves Learning: "That's a great way to make money! I've read about protagonists in transmigration novels who also started by copying books. Books that would fit this world's culture, like 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,' 'Harry Potter,' 'The Lord of the Rings'—just thinking about it makes me happy! I can already imagine their surprised expressions."

Chen Xi grew even more excited as she spoke. "Isn't that interesting? We should also 'plagiarize' some quality Eastern books, like 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' and 'Journey to the West.' They're sure to be bestsellers here! We can travel around, act as bards, tell stories everywhere, and then sell books!"

The more they talked, the more structured their plans became, and they both decided to start learning the native language.

However, a problem arose.

Where would they get paper and pens?

Chunzi Loves Learning: "Isn't your hair population the pens? And isn't my scalp population the paper? If we both rapidly multiply our species, we can produce paper and pens! It's destiny! Heaven sent us here to spread books and culture!"

Thinking about it that way, it was indeed true.

The scalp could indeed serve as a piece of parchment.

And the hair, like embroidery needles, could continuously stitch out characters on the scalp, serving as pens.

Moreover, they could act like printers: by laying out a hundred pages of "paper" and having a hundred strands of "hair" perform unified actions, threading the needle, they could mass-produce books. It was incredibly convenient.

"Starting to write books?"

Seeing this, Xu Zhi rubbed his nose. "I intended for you to use the hair's abilities for domination, but I never expected you'd want to write. Truly a 'Buddha-style' casual player."

However, Xu Zhi didn't pay too much attention to it.

He had merely provided a small 'cheat' for her. If Chen Xi chose not to use it and preferred to play her own game, truly being a non-competitive scenery enthusiast, then so be it. He had originally let her in to pass the time; making friends, playing games, or even farming together was fine too.

"Still, I estimate these two young girls won't last very long, no more than a year or two. They'll soon be eliminated just like other ordinary players. It's fine to consider it a vacation for them."

He shifted his gaze to another location.

The Kingdom of Babylon.

Messages began to arrive.

"All over the world, various demonic creatures have appeared, infected by Evil God organs, turning into evil species."

"Furthermore, some giant beasts have started attacking outlying towns, having acquired the Blood of the Evil Eye and fused with Evil Eye cells, beginning to cultivate!"

"Your Majesty, across the three major kingdoms—in mountains, deserts, and desolate corners—strange incidents are occurring everywhere. On some streets, people frequently disappear without a trace."

Emperor Medusa, seated on the throne, slowly closed her eyes as if in deep slumber. "What a terrifying Evil God this is. Merely its scattered limbs throughout the world have already..."
