Chapter 159: The Novelist's Hell

The huge round table originally had seventeen phantoms.

But now only sixteen remained.

The scene around the round table was like a chaotic starry sky, and also like a void black curtain.

Subsequently, seven-colored light condensed into one figure after another.

Not long after, all sixteen figures appeared.

"So annoying. I say, although Taurus big brother, your ability can achieve this point, I am currently hunting..." one figure said.

Although every figure was composed of seven-colored light, on the round table, there were different identity tags. The identity tag belonging to this person was Sagittarius.

Because on the identity tag, there was a bow and arrow sign drawn.

Everyone, apart from the different identity tags, had different outlines.

Sagittarius didn't look very burly, just thin and tall.

Without a doubt, this was a meeting of twelve... no, sixteen constellations.

"Ah, Bai Yang sister, you've already arrived? Hehehe, do you want to play a game together? I recently met a very interesting game partner." Scorpio spoke.

Bai Yang had arrived, but she didn't pay attention to Scorpio, instead looking at Sagittarius:

"This meeting is aimed at you."

"You and Cancer are the only two among us who can directly kill people, although this requires coordinates. Sagittarius, stop your behavior."

Bai Yang clearly knew something.

At this time, Aquarius said:

"Big sister, why stop? One of them snipes the Slaughter Tower, one snipes the Mysterious Tower, this is very good, isn't it?"

Although he couldn't directly kill people, his style was to create extremely evil qualified people in the Desire Tower. In a certain sense, Aquarius was the one who killed people in the Desire Tower.

In Aquarius's eyes, Cancer and Sagittarius were his allies.

Bai Yang said:

"At least that person won't do; he is useful to me."

At this time, 【someone】 said:

"Ah, it wouldn't be my game partner, would it? That won't do, oh."

Sagittarius said:

"I am indiscriminate; I want to shoot whoever I want to shoot. If he happens to be bumped into by me, don't blame me."

Leo spoke at this time:

"Oh! Last meeting there were seventeen people, this time there are only sixteen. Truly sigh-worthy. Libra, shouldn't our account be settled!"

"You keep creating new forces, what is the meaning of that?"

Libra didn't pay attention to Leo, just cursed inside:

"Idiot."

Capricorn said coldly:

"Every meeting is like this, what is being discussed this time? Taurus big brother, you and Bai Yang sister, are you playing together?"

Taurus didn't speak.

Taurus's gaze fell on the four figures in the corner.

Hercules, Qilin, Lyra, Sirius.

These four little guys clearly didn't like being forcibly summoned to the meeting, and with the disappearance of Phoenix...

The four of them clearly felt uneasy and fearful.

Bai Yang stated the main theme of this time:

"This meeting was initiated by me letting Taurus start it. I will only reiterate once: that person is useful to me now."

"To me too, oh~ although he ruined my things, he is too fun." Scorpio added.

"Indeed, quite interesting, the chaos on him, I am also interested in." 【someone】 said.

"Speaking of this, the girls under my hand seem to be quite fond of him too. I also want to see what he will do later." Virgo said.

Leo said angrily:

"So because he is useful to you, he can't be touched? What kind of things are you!"

Although he hated Leo, Leo really had the ability to scold everyone right now.

Sagittarius said:

"I said, don't set rules for me. Shooting unreasonable existences is my mission."

"By the way, Gemini, you look like you are very weak. Haven't you found your brother yet?"

"Don't get shot to death by me."

This last sentence, Sagittarius said with a smile, but Gemini's gaze was extremely cold when looking at Sagittarius.

"I always feel that you are not the you from before. Gemini."

Sagittarius stared at Gemini.

Meetings were always like this, because of the rule that "if one dies, everyone will become stronger"...

It was hard for them to reach a consensus.

Just like the Three Towers war, it presented extreme chaos, with groups of heroes carving up the territory.

However, Bai Yang said:

"Ancient clues might be able to unlock the curse on us. Don't touch him. This is my final warning."

Cancer suddenly spoke at this time:

"Big sister, I must remind you... back then Pisces suggested we kill Albert."

"You also believed that that person could be helpful to you in finding the source of our existence."

"What was the result? We didn't touch him, but now, he has become so strong that... I am not necessarily sure I can kill him."

Once, Cancer had encountered Albert. As an existence in the Slaughter Tower that could directly cause slaughter, Cancer had thought about whether to erase Albert.

Because this old man indiscriminately struck the luck of many people.

But it was also because of the indiscriminate nature that Albert was instead in a position that was hard to kill.

Of course, the most important reason was that Cancer believed... that old man himself was also hard to kill.

Such people, there were only two in Bunker history.

Now, he didn't hope for a third one.

Bai Yang said:

"He has mastered the Three Towers sequence. Meeting adjourned, enough said."

Enough said, this meant a warning.

Cancer didn't care, because he knew that the person they were discussing—

Was not in the Slaughter Tower.

The pressure would only be on Sagittarius, and Sagittarius looked at Leo.

Leo nodded slowly.

Clearly, Aquarius, Leo, and Sagittarius, all three believed that some variables should be killed if possible.

Gemini coughed twice:

"Big sister, don't call a meeting for such boring things next time."

"We have never been allies, even if our interests are consistent. And..."

"He didn't reach this step because you thought highly of him, but because he reached this step, you would think highly of him."

"I believe he won't die so easily. If you want to help him, telling Sagittarius and the others is meaningless. It's better to let him participate as much as possible in the area you are responsible for."

The meeting was about to end, and after a short silence—

Leo made a beheading gesture toward the four constellations that were like outsiders.

Gradually, the seven-colored light began to dissipate.

Unknown land. Mysterious ancient castle.

When he opened his eyes, Wen Xishu saw a scene that fit his stereotype.

As if it were a medieval European castle, in the magnificent hall, Wen Xishu saw many knight statues.

They held torches in their hands, illuminating the entire hall.

In the hall, which was wide to the point of being somewhat deserted, there were a total of eight people.

Wen Xishu liked this environment very much, because it looked "ancient" enough.

But he didn't dare to guarantee 100%—that this was an area related to Bai Yang.

After all, many missions had more than one constellation involved, and in the end, he had to decide what kind of ending to use to benefit a certain constellation.

Before Wen Xishu began to observe the seven people, he had to talk about the points Wen Xishu threw this time.

This time, Wen Xishu threw a triple again.

Three, three, three.

The result of this throw brought many options, first were the old options—

Three Phases Power, Three Highs, Three Lives Ten Thousand Things, Quality Upgrade, Peerless Under Heaven.

Wen Xishu very much wanted to choose Three Phases.

But he discovered a particularly interesting new option—Three Realms Resonance.

【Three Realms Resonance: Triggered when all points are three. Effect: If you obtain a Slaughter Tower sequence this time, you will obtain the Mysterious Tower sequence and Desire Tower sequence of the same sequence number. If you obtain a Desire Tower sequence, you will obtain the Mysterious Tower and Slaughter Tower sequences of the same number. If you obtain a Mysterious Tower sequence, you will obtain the Slaughter and Desire Tower sequences of the same number.

This option also takes effect on obtained props, but it will not obtain items of the same quality for the other two tower systems at settlement, but directly allows the obtained props to open the usage permission for the other two tower systems.】

For safety's sake—

Wen Xishu should choose Three Phases, so he would have a Slaughter Tower panel and sequence to use.

For maximum gain, Wen Xishu should choose Three Highs, but Three Highs failed in the big vortex, because it was the original version effect, and Wen Xishu would directly raise the difficulty to the level of the 90th floor of the Mysterious Tower.

Three Highs in the big vortex became the corresponding level +15, and no longer the corresponding level x3.

The Gubao Story Meeting itself corresponded to the 30th floor of the Mysterious Tower.

Even if Wen Xishu was brave, even if the Three Highs effect didn't change, Wen Xishu didn't plan to challenge the difficulty of the 90th floor.

So he should have chosen Three Phases.

But Three Realms Resonance truly attracted Wen Xishu.

This meant that if he obtained—for example, Mysterious Sequence 37 · Mental Barrage.

Then correspondingly, he would also obtain Slaughter Sequence 37 and Desire Sequence 37.

Wen Xishu still very much craved obtaining Slaughter sequences and Desire sequences.

Even without a sequence, according to the description of Three Realms Resonance, even if he obtained an item, for example, a prop that could only be used in the Mysterious Tower, he could directly change the permission of that item from being usable in the Mysterious Tower to being usable in the Three Towers.

This was also extremely perverted.

"The 50th or 60th floor of the Desire Tower, I'm afraid some areas are already as perverted as the Mysterious Tower. Even if I choose the simple and rough kill-kill-kill, I still have to increase my strength."

"I have to say, the effect of the Dice of Reversal is too strong. This Three Realms Resonance came just at the right time. If I could throw Three Realms Resonance every time, then I could obtain the benefits of three towers from one tower."

In short, Wen Xishu chose the new option—Three Realms Resonance.

In that Three Kingdoms card game that was well-received, players all knew to buy new and not buy old.

Although the new option increased some risks, the benefits at settlement were too fragrant.

This time, the Scorpio knife's attributes were not particularly heaven-defying.

【In this mission, you will obtain the game effect throughout—Panel Viewing. You can query the other party's panel; the comprehensiveness of the query depends on your favorability.】

Simply put, it was a function commonly used in online games: right-click on the character avatar to view the target's attributes.

So Wen Xishu began to observe the other seven people at this moment...

He was checking the attributes.

"This mission is called Gubao Story Meeting... clearly, it's related to telling stories. It looks like it's telling the true experience of doing evil?"

"But I don't know what special things there will be. Since it's the Mysterious Tower, it certainly can't be just as simple as telling stories."

"Are these seven people all people who tell stories? Is it selecting the person with the most wonderful story from the seven of us?"

"Before the rules are clarified, it's good to observe these people well."

Including Wen Xishu, there were eight people in total.

Wen Xishu's gaze first fell on the person who looked the most threatening.

That was a bald guy with a black spider tattooed on his head. He looked fierce and evil.

This person's panel was like this.

【Name: Unknown. (Unlocked based on favorability)】

【Codename: Unknown. (Unlocked based on favorability)】

【Characteristics: Powerful strength, fierce personality.】

【Weakness: Unknown. (Unlocked based on favorability)】

The Scorpio knife was sometimes very strong, even strong enough that some functions could let you use Tower Power Value.

But sometimes, it was weak, weak to the point of being almost meaningless.

For example, viewing the panel this time, Wen Xishu felt... hmm, it seemed I could reach this conclusion by observing myself. This panel came meaninglessly.

But it was still useful.

"At least, he is not the type that is a contrast; he is indeed powerful in strength, fierce in personality..."

Wen Xishu was still thinking about a question.

Is this person a "qualified person"?

In the Labyrinth Train, Wen Xishu understood two things—

Some missions were to let you save people worth saving, some missions were to let you kill people worth killing.

"This time it won't be all villains, right? If there are good people... who would they be in the Desire Tower?"

Wen Xishu looked at the second person.

This was a child, about twelve or thirteen years old, looking still somewhat childish.

Another brat?

Wen Xishu now saw a child, and full of smiles, subconsciously thought of... a brat.

【Characteristics: Vicious, urchin, naughty.】

This was good, the panel almost confirmed one point.

Third person.

Was a woman. She looked quite good, her lips were particularly sexy, and this woman was also sizing up Wen Xishu at this time, and even made a licking-lips action.

No other reason, Wen Xishu was indeed the best-looking one among this group in terms of appearance.

The woman's tongue was particularly long, like a snake.

【Characteristics: Sex addiction, promiscuous, horny.】

How... among the storytellers, there is also a female Bodhisattva?

Hmm, now he felt that the quality of the story meeting probably wasn't very good. The stories this woman could tell, the censors definitely wouldn't like. If the censors don't like it, the readers definitely won't like it... right?

The fourth person. Looks shifty-eyed, appearing very timid. Small in stature, shivering.

【Characteristic: Timid.】

Very few entries, timid...

Some say that timid people are destined not to be bad people. Wen Xishu was wondering, could it be this person?

The fifth person is someone who looks a bit foolish, drooling from the corner of their mouth, occasionally letting out silly laughs of "Heh, hehe".

【Characteristic: Disguise.】

Wen Xishu's heart skipped a beat, disguise...

This person's foolishness is faked? The little knife is still somewhat useful. Wen Xishu immediately listed this person as a key object of attention.

The sixth person is a chef. Looks a bit fat, with a kind and amiable smile.

【Characteristic: Excellent culinary skills, exquisite knife work.】

Unfortunately, no personality characteristics were obtained.

Wen Xishu looked at the last person, the seventh person.

An ordinary, somewhat shy and timid young man, very ordinary, not ugly, not handsome, but his temperament overall gives people a kind and gentle feeling.

【Characteristic: Greedy.】

Greedy? Everyone is greedy, but to be marked as a characteristic, it must be greedy to the extreme, right?

After observing all seven people, Wen Xishu suddenly received such a prompt.

【He looks like he's observing others carefully! I bet he's the most perverted one!】

【Hehehe, don't let me down!】

【Looking forward to your story!】

What the hell...

The barrage actually appeared suddenly.

Wen Xishu suddenly saw many, many barrages, and these barrages were all evaluating his behavior.

【What kind of story will he tell?】

【I think he's the type who would kill his wife, he looks like a domestic abuser!】

【He had no reaction at all when looking at that woman, and even felt disgusted, he must be a male homosexual, right?】

Heh.

Wen Xishu was covered in black lines.

At this time, the woman with the characteristic of 'Seductive' giggled:

"How annoying, how can you say I'm not serious~"

"Hehe, hehehehe~" the man pretending to be foolish laughed. His eyes couldn't stop darting around.

"Mommy! A ghost!" the shifty-eyed man shivered, as if he had seen something incredible.

Wen Xishu was now certain... everyone could see the barrage.

No, to be precise, this is not a barrage, but the 'words' of the audience.

This ancient castle is filled with countless audience members.

Barrages kept floating by, and Wen Xishu immediately began to look for a barrage...

"Just now that woman said 'how can you say I'm not serious', which shows there is a barrage saying this woman is not serious."

"But I didn't find this barrage."

Although many barrages floated by, Wen Xishu's dynamic vision didn't miss a single one.

He was certain that he hadn't seen the 'not serious' barrage.

This means—

"It seems that the barrage for each of us is different. Strange, is it necessary?"

Wen Xishu is certainly no stranger to things like barrages, not to mention that the sequence is related to barrages. Even in his past life, he was someone who couldn't live without barrages.

But it doesn't exist that audience A and audience B see different barrages.

Wen Xishu instinctively felt... maybe this is related to the gameplay this time.

The suddenly appearing barrage surprised everyone for a while.

But soon, everyone adapted to their every move being commented on by the barrage.

Just when Wen Xishu was thinking about whether to chat with these people and build up some favorability before the story meeting started...

New things appeared again.

【Current audience expectation value, 10.】

This prompt appeared in Wen Xishu's mind.

At the same time, he also saw the prompt 【Current audience expectation value, 75.】 appear above the woman's head.

Yes, above everyone's head, the audience expectation value appeared.

Wen Xishu is 10.

The brat is 10.

The bald spider man is 18.

The chef is 10.

The gentle young man is 10.

The shifty-eyed timid man is 10.

The man pretending to be foolish is 22.

Wen Xishu quickly discovered one point—

The higher the number, the more the audience expects their story.

"This... what does this number mean?" the snake-tongued woman asked Wen Xishu subconsciously.

Wen Xishu thought for a moment and said:

"Everyone should have seen it... those barrages that only you can see."

"You mean... the barrages we see are different?" the snake-tongued woman asked.

Wen Xishu nodded:

"You can share the content of a barrage you find most conspicuous. I guess no one else has seen this barrage."

The snake-tongued woman thought for a moment and read out the most central and conspicuous barrage:

"These buns are really big..."

Wen Xishu's first reaction was that it was very strange... isn't the chef that fat guy? And the chef doesn't look like a pastry chef. Buns? What buns?

But immediately, he saw the bald spider man looking at the snake-tongued woman's chest...

Wen Xishu understood, so it was these buns. They were indeed big.

At this point, everyone was convinced that their own barrage didn't have this one, although most people wouldn't be able to remember every barrage like Wen Xishu.

But since Wen Xishu said it was the most conspicuous barrage, if everyone saw the same thing, others wouldn't have missed it.

"Hmm, little brother, you're right. Our barrages seem to be only visible to ourselves. Then what the hell is this expectation value?" The one speaking was the chef.

Wen Xishu didn't answer directly, but first asked a question:

"Everyone, to answer this question, I must first ask you... why you came here."

The brat answered first:

"A masked uncle said to me, do you want to make life more interesting!"

"I said I wanted to... and then I came."

The snake-tongued woman said:

"Hey? I seem to be the same. I have a client... also wearing a mask, saying do you want to make big money, of course I want to, so... I suddenly came here."

The man pretending to be foolish just laughed hehehe.

The next one to speak was the bald spider man:

"He asked me if I wanted to change my destiny. Hmm, that is the person wearing a mask you mentioned."

Getting interesting.

This masked man... is he a character to appear later? Or is he among the seven people?

The gentle young man said:

"I was originally attending my wife's funeral... I also met that masked person. He said to me, do you want to see your wife again... so I came."

The chef's answer was much the same:

"He said he could let me make gourmet food, the most delicious gourmet food, so I came. Oh oh, by the way, it was also a masked person."

The shifty-eyed man didn't speak.

Wen Xishu said:

"Since that's the case, let me share my guess."

"First of all, judging by everyone's attire, we should all be people from the same era, right?"

The chef, the snake-tongued woman, the brat, the shifty-eyed man, the gentle young man, the bald spider man, the man pretending to be foolish...

These people are actually dressed very modernly.

Several people nodded.

Wen Xishu continued:

"Then everyone shouldn't be unfamiliar with what we see, which is the barrage. At the same time, we also have expectation values..."

"The word expectation, I think everyone's understanding is the same, so the answer is very simple: a group of people who cannot be seen... are watching our performance."

"The more wonderful our performance, the more they expect, and the higher the expectation value..."

Wen Xishu paused and stated his guess:

"The higher the expectation value... I think the higher the chance of survival."

Wen Xishu's expectation value at this time had changed from 10 to 15.

【Oh oh oh, is he an analytical type?】

【Will he be the brains of the group?】

【No no no, usually those who start rambling like this die very early. I bet his story is very boring.】

The barrage began to slide by.

Wen Xishu ignored these barrages.

However, because of his performance just now, clearly—his expectation value had become higher.

Just at this moment, at the very front of the castle, a knight statue holding a long sword suddenly lit up.

"Everyone, welcome to the Gubao Story Meeting."

This voice sounded like that kind of heavy electronic synthesized voice. Often used in movies and TV shows, for example—"Henry, hello, I want to play a game with you."

"Everyone is a person with stories. Next, I will appreciate everyone's stories. You have one minute to tell your first story."

"I believe everyone has also noticed the barrage you can see, those are our lovely audience."

"The audience's barrages are mostly meaningless evaluations, but you'd better not miss some barrage information..."

"Because, perhaps the barrage will tell you what kind of stories they like."

"In addition, the theme of this story meeting is—Evil. Please tell everyone about the evil you have committed."

"I hope everyone's stories are wonderful enough. I also hope everyone remains interesting, because once the expectation value returns to zero, you will die."

"The game is about to begin, good luck to everyone."

After the voice fell, suddenly eight knights holding great swords approached Wen Xishu and the others.

The shifty-eyed man screamed in fear:

"What kind of monster is this!! I want to go back! I want to go back!"

His reaction actually made the expectation value above his head higher. Others, although also afraid, seemed to gradually accept this situation.

Of course, in Wen Xishu's view, they accepted it a bit too quickly...

Wen Xishu suddenly realized the logic of the expectation value. It's the highlight.

Ordinary people, people without characteristics, will have very low expectation values.

For example, most people have the lowest initial value, 10 points.

But the snake-tongued woman... has too many highlights, for example, the buns are big, starting with an expectation value of 75.

The bald spider man looks like he has a story, the fool looks very funny...

So their expectation values are all higher than the initial value.

However, no matter what your appearance is, it can't compare to milky white snowballs.

Ten seconds later...

Everyone couldn't move.

Behind Wen Xishu and the other seven people—there was a knight holding a great sword.

The knight could cut off their heads with a sword at any time.

【You have thirty seconds to communicate freely. After thirty seconds, the story meeting will begin.】

"What the hell... why can't I move?" the shifty-eyed man roared.

Wen Xishu said:

"Stop struggling, everyone, listen to me. If you want to survive, follow the game rules."

"Instead of thinking about how to leave, how to struggle, it's better to think about how to keep your expectation value from returning to zero in the next story."

"At the same time, after telling the story, pay attention to the barrage content. Only by making the barrage happy can you get expectation value."

Wen Xishu's expectation value had become 22.

His remarks again gained him some expectation value.

"Also... the story is only one minute long, don't tell too many details, just tell the bad things you've done."

Has Wen Xishu done bad things?

From his standpoint, no.

But good and bad are all about perspective.

In his past life, Wen Xishu's parents also thought they were good people.

In the current life, those who died at Wen Xishu's hands also thought they were good people.

So, how to tell it, how to make it have a gimmick, is the key.

At this time, the gentle man's expectation value had dropped to 5 points.

This is an extremely low point, similar to a health bar reaching the enemy's execution line.

Because the gentle man had no outstanding performance.

The chef also dropped to 8 points.

Thirty seconds passed quickly.

The eight knights' great swords were aimed at the eight people's heads.

【The story meeting begins, please let the first person start telling the story, you have sixty seconds.】

The first person to tell a story, without a doubt, has the most pressure. Because there is no one else to set an example, and they don't know how big the scale should be.

And the shifty-eyed man, the person with the least courage, was the first to tell a story.

He really was timid...

His rat-like eyes kept darting around:

"Save me... what should I do!"

No one spoke.

Because at this time, Wen Xishu and the others could do nothing but listen.

Fifteen seconds passed.

The shifty-eyed man didn't say a word, but his panicked reaction actually made the expectation value higher.

Before long, the shifty-eyed man's expectation value reached 24 points!

Wen Xishu guessed that his terrified appearance had attracted the attention of the audience.

"I hope everyone's stories are wonderful enough, and I also hope everyone remains... interesting enough."

Wen Xishu understood.

Even if the story isn't wonderful, as long as you yourself can attract the audience... then your expectation value will also be very high.

That is to say, you must have program effect.

Program effect comes from emotion, performance, event conflict... and also from your own conditions.

At this time, the shifty-eyed man had a lot of program effect because he was too scared to tell a story.

"But expectation value returning to zero... is not the only way to die."

Wen Xishu immediately guessed this point.

If expectation value returning to zero is the only way to die, then there's no need to tell stories at all, just act like a clown.

So although the shifty-eyed man's expectation value was getting higher and higher, reaching 24 points... but if he had no story, and the story didn't meet the requirements—

I'm afraid he would still die, right?

Thirty seconds.

The shifty-eyed man's expectation value became 30 points.

Thirty-five seconds.

The shifty-eyed man's expectation value became 40 points.

The expectation value was rising very fast.

They, or rather them... what were they expecting?

Wen Xishu had a bad premonition in his heart. In any case, he didn't want people to die too early in this game.

【He seems very anxious!】

【Is he hoping that person doesn't die?】

【No way, no way, could he be the type of person with a strong sense of justice? Don't make me laugh.】

【Saint Mother.】

Wen Xishu's expectation value dropped.

Fuck? I'm already a Saint Mother?

Wen Xishu deliberately showed a look of concern and anxiety to gain favorability.

But now it seems... his audience has a very nasty personality.

His expression can also affect his own expectation value.

"This is the meaning of paying attention to the barrage, right? Judging their personality, catering to them, and telling a story that fits the theme but can also please them?"

This was Wen Xishu's thinking.

Wen Xishu paid special attention, and fortunately, the content of the barrage seemed to indicate that 'they' could only see the outside and couldn't see the inner thoughts.

50 seconds.

The shifty-eyed man still couldn't tell it.

Ten seconds left until the end of one minute.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Five, four....

The shifty-eyed man finally thought of what to say, but at this time, his time didn't seem enough for him to tell this story.

Three seconds, the knight behind the shifty-eyed man raised his great sword a few inches, as if ready to fall at any time, directly piercing through the shifty-eyed man's head and killing him.

Between life and death! The shifty-eyed man told his story:

"I! I stole things from my neighbor!"

A thief?

Wen Xishu discovered that in the panel he could view, new content had been added.

【Characteristic: Skilled at stealing.】

The great sword didn't fall. Because the shifty-eyed man told his story in the last four seconds.

Although it was only one sentence, it counted as a story, so the shifty-eyed man survived.

At least, he wouldn't die by the knight's great sword, and wouldn't be killed by another rule.

But the shifty-eyed man's expectation value was dropping crazily.

Although Wen Xishu couldn't see the barrage in the shifty-eyed man's eyes, based on the barrage in his own eyes, he could guess.

【The story is just this? Just this?】

【Let's disperse, he will definitely die.】

【If I were the audience there, I would be pissed off, what kind of crap is he telling.】

【I, neighbor, done? What about emotion? What about conflict? What about the golden finger? Not even a golden chapter! Trash!】

【I hope this person won't let us down, watching him analyze there, don't let him be unable to squeeze out a fart when it's his turn.】

These barrages appeared in Wen Xishu's eyes, one can imagine... the barrage in the shifty-eyed man's eyes should be even nastier.

【I want to go back! I want to go back... it's so scary here!】

A special barrage, different in appearance from other barrages, floated by, and Wen Xishu recognized it... it was a mental barrage.

This barrage didn't come from anyone else, but from the shifty-eyed man himself.

Wen Xishu couldn't touch the barrage because he couldn't move.

Expectation value, 2.

"Your story isn't very wonderful. Unless there's one lower than 2, you will die after this round of stories and accidents ends. But next, you still have one chance to turn the tables~ I hope you and your story are good enough."

That mysterious synthesized voice appeared again.

This time, Wen Xishu keenly captured extremely critical information!

"In other words, if the story's expectation value is very low... after a round of stories is told, the one with the lowest expectation value... will be executed. That is to say, not telling a story, not telling a story that fits the theme, and telling the worst story, will all die..."

"But in this, there is also an extremely critical, extremely critical piece of information!"

"This round of stories and accidents..."

"I know stories, what are accidents? Why say he still has a chance to turn the tables next? Does it refer to accidents?"

Stories, accidents...

Wen Xishu boldly guessed, could it be... the stories told will happen in the ancient castle in the form of accidents?

Some stories sound very flat and have no highlights—but what if they become reality?

The more Wen Xishu thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

So telling stories is divided into two parts: telling and encountering. If you don't want to die...

It's best not to make the story too outrageous, otherwise the accident will be very scary.

But then again, if the story isn't outrageous, there are no highlights...

If the expectation value is low, you will die anyway.

He immediately understood where the difficulty of this ancient castle story meeting lay.

At this time, Wen Xishu looked at the snake-tongued woman.

The second person to tell a story was the snake-tongued woman. The knight behind her began to glow in the eyes.

The snake-tongued woman was also very afraid, but not to the point of being unable to tell a story.

Her story was very boring. Very uninteresting. Very disgusting to Wen Xishu.

"I was entangled with a married man, that woman's husband was snatched away by me, and her daughter's father was also snatched away by me."

"I like old men, I like calling him daddy. I like completing the highest human mission with him."

What a boring story... in Wen Xishu's eyes, it wasn't even as good as stealing things.

But guess what?

The expectation value exploded.

Everyone's expectation value dropped to about 5. The woman's expectation value was directly raised to 155.

【Am I the only one who doesn't love eroticism?】

【The barrage is suddenly so few, this guy is really pitiful...】

【Heterosexuality makes me feel disgusted.】

【It's understandable, after all, only by transferring over can one see the 'accident'. Who doesn't love watching the accident that the story becomes?】

A few scattered barrages floated by, making Wen Xishu certain of his guess from the information in the barrage.

That is to say, the story meeting will soon use the story content as a template and happen as an accident.

A woman seducing a man, calling the man daddy...

Such a boring story, Wen Xishu felt it was dull, but the onlookers were all old perverts.

The first round of this story hasn't ended yet, but without a doubt, the ace player, the dark horse of the competition, has appeared.

Wen Xishu thought of Yin Junchi, the qualified person he sent out of the Reverse Seven Building.

If Yin Junchi came here, he would definitely be very desperate, right?

Suspense, slaughter, rebirth, time travel, golden fingers, Gu, Cthulhu...

None of them are as good as eroticism.

If Wen Xishu were the initiator of this story meeting, he would definitely put up a dog-head plaque and write four big characters—No Eroticism.

He quickly blocked out these distracting thoughts.

To defeat someone who can tell erotic stories... I'm afraid he can only win with the outrageousness and wonder of the story.

He can't, he can't tell erotic stories himself, right? Cross-dressing? That's too much of a grievance for himself. I'd rather go to the ninetieth floor of the Slaughter Tower and fend for myself.

But the difficulty also came, if the story is outrageous and wonderful, the accident will be very scary...

So, how to make trade-offs to tell a good story?

Wen Xishu pondered.

He still had the energy to think, because the third person to tell a story wasn't him either.

The third one to tell a story was the chubby chef.

Not many people cared about the evil the chef had done. The chef looked like Coach Anzai after gaining weight in a basketball manga from Wen Xishu's past life.

Giving people a kind and harmless feeling.

Compared to everyone being in a hurry for the story to end, to watch the accident start, to watch the snake-tongued woman call daddy...

Everyone was no longer looking forward to the next story.

【Finish telling it quickly!】

【Suggest skipping directly.】

【I want eroticism!】

These barrages didn't appear in the chef's eyes, but in the snake-tongued woman's eyes.

The barrage on her side was all things like 【Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry, I'm so anxious】.

She showed a victorious expression, clearly she had also figured out the game rules now.

I am a female Bodhisattva! What do you have to fight me with? The movie that all men in this world have watched the most must be that kind of movie!

I am naturally in an invincible position!

But what happened next was beyond her expectations.

The chef slowly said at this time:

"My story... ah, I have to think about the evil I've done. Should I start from deep-frying my mistress, or from making my wife into a wife-cake?"

"Ah~ then let's start from deep-frying the mistress."

Wen Xishu said 'Oh yo' in his heart, how come there's still a master?

The chef's kind smile looked at the woman:

"My mistress had a tongue as long as yours. Guess, what was the texture of her tongue?"

At this time, the snake-tongued woman's expression was shocked. Looking at the expectation value crazily emerging above the other person's head, she only had one feeling in her mind—

Encountered a talented player, tried her best, unable to win.
