Yin Xiu casually found a guest room, lay down, and closed the door.
If he remembered correctly, both the stone tablet and the so-called sacrifice on the ship were designed to kill those who died on the island. Even if he killed all the hunters on the cruise ship now, it would be useless and would only be a waste of lives. He had to lure them to the island and deal with them slowly without disturbing everyone.
Let's rest for now.
But before taking a break, Yin Xiu had the comments section pass on a task to Zhong Mu.
Given Yin Xiu's current condition, it would be difficult for him to kill a hundred monsters in seven days.
Every night, monsters on the island are also killing people. If Yin Xiu's speed cannot keep up with the number of monsters killing people, the dungeon items will be given to the person with the most deaths if one hundred lives are taken within seven days.
Once an item is given to a monster, it becomes the monster's exclusive item and cannot be owned by the player. The player must actively steal it, first by stealing the number of monster kills, and then by devising a grand plan to see if they can kill a large group of monsters at once.
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances and to maximize profits in the shortest possible time, he needed Zhong Mu to join forces with others on the island.
"Is Brother Xiu planning to use human weapons to kill the monster?"
"Distributing the remaining lives among other players to ensure no one else gets the lion's share is about right. Anyway, all Xiu-ge needs to do is steal kills from the monsters and become the one with the most kills."
"That would require tricking the players into attacking the monsters, but the players in this dungeon are all newbies. They'll fight each other and kill each other, and they won't dare to attack the hunters at all."
"This is something that Boss Ye is best at, but now... I'm afraid Zhong Mu will have a hard time completing it."
"Let him give it a try. Even if it doesn't unite people's hearts, it's fine as long as the ultimate goal is achieved."
"If all else fails, we'll provide guidance from behind the scenes! We can definitely replicate Boss Ye's previous methods!"
"Now that you say that, I'm really excited!"
A group of Ye family disciples rubbed their hands together excitedly.
After giving his instructions, Yin Xiu lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
Meanwhile, the tiny tentacles on his arm wriggled and crawled up to Yin Xiu's chest, lying there quietly and staring at him.
Monsters don't need to sleep. When Yin Xiu sleeps, its job is to keep an eye on him and monitor the surroundings to ensure his safety.
He's such a great boyfriend.
After the hunters fall asleep, the daytime is the players' activity time.
With Li Mo around, Zhong Mu didn't need to worry too much at night. Even though he couldn't find a safe place to rest underground, he still slept on the surface all night.
As long as they don't disturb a large number of hunters, they don't need to move to a different location; if a hunter comes, Li Mo will eat him.
All night long, the comments section was filled with images of Zhong Mu sleeping soundly while Li Mo ate heartily beside him.
As dawn broke, Zhong Mu opened his eyes and saw Li Mo sitting upright on the wooden stake opposite him with his eyes closed, seemingly doing nothing.
He tiptoed out water from the props, washed himself lightly, ate something, and began to listen to the advice from the experts in the live chat.
So far, he's been progressing through the survival mode at the normal pace for a newbie, all thanks to the two veterans. Since the comments say that Brother Xiu has joined the Hunter faction, he should try to wander around the island, actively reach out to other players, and see if he can help Brother Xiu.
While watching the discussion among the commenters, Zhong Mu ate his food. When they came up with a plan, he turned his head and saw that Li Mo had opened his eyes at some point and was staring blankly at the sky.
He looked just like an ordinary human troubled by something. Considering that the other party was essentially a monster, Zhong Mu still hesitated before speaking to Li Mo, "Is there something in the sky? Or do you have some kind of trouble?"
Li Mo lowered his head, his movements slow and steady, coupled with a sinister smile as he slowly turned around. Any normal person would feel uneasy, and Zhong Mu was no exception.
But the words that came out of Li Mo's mouth did add a touch of humanity to this monster.
"Why does he kiss my tentacles but not me?"
"..." Zhong Mu paused for a moment. Of course he knew it referred to Brother Xiu, but he didn't know how to answer. Was this the kind of trouble that the big shot was thinking about when clearing dungeons? He didn't understand.
However, Zhong Mu still answered honestly.
"Is it possible that... Brother Xiu has never been intimate with normal people, and he's not comfortable around you in human form?"
"Yeah?"
"yes."
Zhong Mu shoveled a small piece of bread into her mouth and chewed it, looking at Li Mo with an innocent expression.
"Do humans feel uncomfortable with intimacy with another person?" Li Mo lowered his eyes; this was different from what he had read in books.
It clearly states that humans need companions, and that humans are most likely to lower their guard around their own kind, especially in dangerous environments. It is definitely safer to have someone by your side than to have a monster nearby.
But... Yin Xiu is closer to his monster form, but not to his human form.
"That's how it is for normal people, but Xiu-ge isn't normal. Xiu-ge spent his adolescence in dungeons, and monsters were a part of his life. He's different from people who grow up normally." Zhong Mu didn't know how to explain to a monster how much influence the environment has on a person.
Personality, hobbies, attitudes, and even criteria for choosing a partner.
It can only be said that Li Mo is still far from fully understanding human thought.
The monster boss pondered, seemingly trying to understand. After thinking for a long time, he shook his head. "It's okay, as long as he doesn't have any other boyfriends and only has me, that's enough."
Li Mo believes that her main focus is on companionship, with feelings developing over time.
Zhong Mu saw through it all; this guy's main tactic was to possess her completely and force her to develop feelings over time.
After agreeing on their plan to "troll" other players in the chat, Zhong Mu packed up and set off to find other players on the island.
This is how the bullet comments are planned.
During the day, players mainly avoid other players because there are no other dangers besides other players.
To force players to stick together, they have to create danger.
But who on the island is more dangerous than a ferocious player? Li Mo.
Creating a false image to win people's hearts and then using the crowd to spread false propaganda is the most convenient method that players in the small town have learned.
The barrage of comments provides guidance, telling Zhong Mu the nearest underground hideout. Then, Li Mo goes first, disguised as a ferocious monster, and actively attacks the player.
Having finally escaped the night and successfully waited for daytime, the players happily arrived on the ground, only to come face to face with a man who had a sinister smile and whose whole body exuded eeriness.
They fled in panic, but they couldn't outrun Rimo.
They fought back fiercely, but they couldn't defeat Li Mo.
When they saw the monstrous, fake humanoid creature in front of them reveal its terrifying, sharp teeth, they burst into tears, convinced that they were doomed.
Then, in the next second, a proud and imposing figure appeared in front of the players, pointing a red fire axe righteously at the monsters opposite him and shouting, "Don't hurt them!"
The trick may be old, but it works.
When the terrified players saw Zhong Mu's fake powerful figure, their faces lit up with hope, and they all hid under his protection.
