Chapter 166: I want to be your Sycophant!
What does it mean to take the money and run off with the computer?
A Fierce ghost computer is indeed valuable, but after all, there are hundreds of ghost computers in this Internet cafe, and this is a large-scale instance with many plugins.
The money and computer that the Internet cafe owner took away account for at most 10% of the total value of the Internet cafe.
The problem is, we can’t let this precedent be set! What if all the ghost owners on the list learn from him in the future.
Moreover, if the boss runs away, wouldn’t it be more troublesome if the employees run away too?
"Full Moon! There’s a bad guy, stop him and kill him!"Alexander yelled towards the outside of the Internet cafe, about to rush in.
"What are you doing, it’s safe time now! Don’t let him go!" The rest of the chosen ones changed their faces one after another, trying to stop Alexander.
"Stop! Everyone listen to me, don’t stop him!" The second person who just spoke out, Cain, surprisingly blocked in front of Alexander, blocking the actions of others to stop Alexander.
"What are you doing! Cain, don’t think we don’t know who you are, we are all veteran chosen ones, your tricks won’t work here! If you want to survive, don’t meddle!"
Those who entered this instance are all veteran chosen ones, and everyone understands Cain’s style of doing things.
Many people have studied and discussed Cain, because he often reveals his identity as soon as he comes on stage, along with his catchphrase "everyone listen to me", many people are speculating. Cain is probably tricking novices into being his stand-ins, and the reason he can always survive by a fluke is definitely by using these deceived novices.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, many people believe this.
Therefore, when they heard Cain’s words, some people immediately questioned him disdainfully.
Just when Alexander, who was about to step out of the safe range and trigger the instance plot in advance, heard this, he stopped.
He was not familiar with Cain, and the only instance they experienced together was the initial Bloody Moon School.
Why would Cain help him? It’s not that he could recognize himself, is it?
Thinking of this, Alexander didn’t care about the Internet cafe inside. Anyway, Full Moon was blocking him.
He stopped and turned back and asked:"Do you know me?"
"I don’t!" Cain shook his head without hesitation, and it didn’t seem like he was lying.
"Why are you helping me stop them?" Alexander continued to ask.
A hesitant look appeared on Cain’s face. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "Because I want to be your Sycophant!"
Goodness, Alexander staggered and almost fell to the ground, retreating two steps vigilantly, exclaiming: "Are you gay?"
"No! No! What I mean is to please you, to ride on your coattails!" Cain waved his hands again and again, hurriedly explaining: "Intuition tells me that if I follow you, I can survive and leave this instance!"
"Could it be that your survival so far is all thanks to some kind of intuitive talent?" Alexander had a sudden realization.
"That’s right!" Cain didn’t hold back, answering truthfully to any question Alexander asked, and began:
"Once, in a novice instance called ’Blood Moon School,’ I had an intuition telling me to cozy up to a newbie. I didn’t believe it, even deliberately provoked him a few times!
As a result, I lost two arms, a nose, two ears in that instance. Thankfully, we didn’t have a direct conflict! You don’t know how cunning that newbie was..."
Cain stopped talking abruptly, as if he had triggered some kind of intuition and didn’t dare to say another word.
No wonder this guy was so lucky, he had such a miraculous intuitive talent. Everyone present, including Alexander, was struck by this revelation.
However, the way they looked at Alexander was somewhat skeptical.
Could survival be assured by pleasing him?
Obviously, they didn’t doubt that Cain had some special talent, but they were skeptical about Alexander.
Everyone present was a Chosen One, and Alexander had no hidden ghost techniques or power, he was at most a Fierce-level entity. How could he have the ability to scare off a ghost master?
Wait, did a ghost mater who looked rather powerful run out the back door carrying something earlier?
It must have been an illusion!
It was perfectly reasonable for a computer to be taken for repair in such a big internet cafe!
Rather than saying Alexander could scare off a ghost master, it was better to say that Cain had some strange talent, like getting stronger by pleasing others.
There was a man named James who once had a similar talent and received a lot of ghost coins as a reward. Unfortunately, he didn’t seem very smart and tried to please the Blood Queen at the Ghost Restaurant. He was killed on the spot!
The safe period granted by the horror instance to the Chosen Ones had already passed, but no one made any moves.
Cain had decided to please Alexander throughout, so of course he obediently stood by his side, looking like a guard dog.
The others were still considering what Cain had just said and didn’t even notice that the safety time limit had disappeared.
As for the instance party, it consisted of a few hired ghost minions and a network administrator.
The ghost minions had a task to scare the Chosen Ones and increase the fear value. Now they were sitting at the computer desk, looking like regular customers.
As for Qin, who had just gained control of the ghost bead, he was completely stunned by the internet cafe owner’s actions.
He was also a hired ghost minion and had done a lot of this kind of work before. He had experienced more instances than the average veteran, but he had never seen a scene like today.
Did the ghost master grab some money and a computer and run away? Could it be that the legendary Dolly had arrived?
But seeing that the highest power among these Chosen Ones was just two Fierce-level entities, Qin breathed a sigh of relief.
This was it?
The ghost master must have believed some rumor, it was all alarmist talk.
Qin quickly made a judgment and stepped forward:
"stinky..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Qin habitually wanted to yell "stinky bugs".
But remembering the instructions of the ghost boss before he left, despite thinking he was being overly cautious, he decided to be a bit nicer:
"You bugs are here to surf the internet, right? Our internet cafe has a competition today and the internet fee is free. Hurry up and choose your machine! The competition is not more than 5 rounds, nobody is allowed to leave!"
This time, he didn’t add the word ’stinky’ in front of ’bugs’, His attitude should be considered quite good, right?
Qin looked at these Chosen Ones, feeling somewhat smug.
The network administrator’s attitude was so bad, calling them "bugs" all the time, emphasizing no one could leave at the end of his speech, and even seemed very pleased with himself.
Clearly, he must have harmed many Chosen Ones regularly in the past, surely a kind of evil ghost that enjoyed causing harm. He absolutely must be dealt with!
Alexander, looking at the smug expression of the ghost network administrator, thought to himself.
