Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 206 Vivian

As soon as Jiang Qi entered the illusion, the screen in Xiao Jiang Qi's live stream became filled with static, and then went black.

Just as the audience reached the climax, their interest was interrupted, and they began to curse.

"Nothing's wrong! I was just getting into it when the screen went black again! I want to complain!!!"

"This situation hasn't just started a day or two ago. Didn't this damn system say it was going to be updated? This is the kind of update it's coming out of?"

"The screen goes black every few days. Is it going to get worse with each update?"

"I remember we can report bugs, right? Let's go report them together!"

"..."

Meanwhile, the system emails were flooded with complaints, giving it a headache.

It's been complained about again. How is it going to explain this to the God?

Although its power is second only to the main god, it only dares to strike hard against players, and is subservient and dares not speak in front of the main god.

The Lord God instructed it that if the system malfunctions or receives too many complaints, He will replace the old system.

This kind of thing is like a tonic!

"Ding-dong-"

"Dear players, due to incomplete system updates, there are still bugs that cannot be removed."

"We apologize for the negative experience this has given players. In response, Nightmare Games has decided to compensate each of you with 1000 points."

Almost every player received an apology letter from the system.

Scrolling to the bottom, the system added an extra note: If you are satisfied with the compensation, please give a five-star review, dear (???).

Some players are willing to buy into it, while others are clear about the purpose behind the system.

A moment later, Jiang Qi's live stream room lit up again.

This time, it is told from Jiang Qi's own perspective.

"Holy crap, Jiang Qi is faking his death?!"

"He's still alive? Wasn't the system supposed to have him dead?"

"Yes, yes, we clearly saw his live stream screen go black, and we saw with our own eyes that his head was severed."

"Who says what we see is the truth? This is just what God Qi wants us to see."

"If Jiang Qi were really dead, the system would have announced it. We've all been misled by the system—no, by Jiang Qi!"

"Because this is a team dungeon, the system will not single out the death of an individual unless the entire team dies, in which case the system will announce that the entire guild of xx has died."

"Ah, I see. So Qi Shen found a loophole. Then why did he fake his death?"

"Upstairs, think about it. So far, we still haven't figured out how to deal with the boss. The enemy is in the dark, while the players are in the light. Aren't they being led by the nose by the dungeon?"

"That makes sense. Is this what a big shot's brain is like?"

"..."

The screen gradually brightened, displaying the image.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoyu was still unaware of the truth behind Jiang Qi's faked death.

The system in my mind is currently dormant.

From the moment they entered the illusion, his already precarious relationship with Qin Si collapsed instantly.

They were placed in the same illusion, and Qin Si, affected by pollen, was particularly irritable and easily angered.

Qin Si blamed Bai Xiaoyu for blocking his nose like the Monster guild did, and for not telling him earlier that there was a problem with the pollen.

Bai Xiaoyu's explanation was: "I just can't smell pollen. You know, we're on the same side."

He's come this far with great difficulty; he can't afford to let it all go to waste.

Stabilizing Qin Si is only temporary, but it's enough for him to plan and strategize.

He wouldn't let go of an existing guild.

Since his rebirth, his initial cooperation with Qin Si was only for the sake of the guild.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, which is why Bai Xiaoyu followed the clues to find Qin Si.

The Black Crow Guild, which is under the control of Qin Si, is considered a slightly above-average choice.

Qin Si is someone who can be controlled.

His mind was completely focused on avenging Qin Senjing. Once he was blinded by hatred, he could be completely used for his own purposes.

The guild leaders in the top ten of the rankings are all seasoned veterans.

He only went there to provide them with amusement.

Only some low-level guilds would end up in this situation.

This was precisely why he approached Jiang Qi, a newcomer at the time.

Jiang Qi had no experience, so he naturally couldn't have imagined that his companion, with whom he spent every day, would betray him.

Compared to the high-level players who struggle in dungeons, Jiang Qi is the easiest target.

Moreover, Bai Xiaoyu, having the script in hand, naturally knew how formidable Jiang Qi would become later on, capable of contending with the system.

Unfortunately, he ran into himself, so he can only be considered unlucky.

He was just a pitiful, innocent little white flower who was good at disguising himself, and he only followed Jiang Qi in order to curry favor with him.

However, whenever Jiang Qi became suspicious of him, he would erase a part of Jiang Qi's memory, or even tamper with it.

That's why he was able to rely on Jiang Qi step by step to reach such a high position and thrive in high-level dungeons.

Now, the same applies to Qin Si.

In nightmare games, there are only eternal enemies, not eternal friends.

Following Qin Si is not a long-term solution; Bai Xiaoyu is not content with mediocrity.

The pollen incident was just a trigger.

What he wanted was for Qin to willingly hand over the guild, so that he could be more convincing.

But he knew that Qin Si would never hand over the Black Crow Guild, which he had painstakingly built up, to someone else.

The instance was being streamed live, and viewers were watching, so he couldn't do it openly; he had to plan it secretly.

Knowing that he had many ways to protect himself, Bai Xiaoyu naturally needed to set up a deadly trap so that he would jump into it willingly.

Moreover, viewers will only believe what they see with their own eyes and will not delve into the causes and consequences behind it.

Let Qin Si be the first stepping stone for him to become stronger and kick Jiang Qi off his pedestal.

Time has changed outside the castle.

As the sun set, Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue ran hand in hand toward the gate that was so close at hand.

The princess covered her face and conjured a short-handled knife in her hand.

Previously, some people advised her to wait for a better opportunity to launch a surprise attack, but most were concerned about her safety and told her not to act rashly.

However, faced with the harsh reality, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself.

The knife in the princess's hand gleamed with a cold, bloodthirsty light under the lamplight.

Like a venomous snake, it opens its mouth, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.

She seized the opportunity, took advantage of the chaos to approach the roaring king, and pierced him with a single blow.

With the massive body collapsing, the soldiers and guests below were too busy to help themselves and spared Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue.

To truly take over a country, one must take the head of its ruler.

The princess tore off her everyday clothes, holding the king's head in her right hand, with bloodstains on the floor.

Her whole being was both sharp and tragically beautiful.

Her warm blood boiled, and as the princess laughed, a single tear rolled down her cheek.

Only now did she truly feel relieved, and her country finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

She became the new sun above the clouds.

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue hesitated to press down on the doorknob, their hands still on it. They turned their heads and exchanged a smile with the princess who was standing high up holding the king's head.

The two tacitly chose not to ask the princess too many questions about why she did this.

As women themselves, they understood the princess's helplessness and determination; it was something she had to do and was obligated to do.

"Princess, I wish you success in your assassination."

This is Lin Wanchu's blessing to the princess, and also a form of recognition for her.

In response, the princess smiled and said seriously, "I am not some pretty princess from a fairy tale. My name is Vivian."
