Chapter 13: A New Mission
It's not that Li Ming is making a fuss, but the content of this 'list update' is too surprising.
Li Ming's hand holding the phone kept trembling, and he read the small words over and over again.
"There are a total of ten richest cultivators on the list, and after the weekly tasks are released, they will be ranked according to the difficulty of the cultivators and their personal property."
This line of words was enough to surprise Li Ming, he never thought that he was not the only richest man to cultivate.
But what frightened Li Ming was the warning at the end of the list.
'Warning: The list will be updated at the end of each week in tandem with the personal property file, and the cultivator at the bottom of the list will not only lose everything, but will also be killed! ’
"Lose everything? Killed? ”
The fear in Li Ming's heart could no longer be described in words, and he stared at the leaderboard with wide eyes.
Rankings:
1st place: Charles, personal property of 180 million (from country Y)
2nd place: Pirava, personal property of 140 million (from country T)
3rd place: Williamson, personal property of 123 million (from country M)
4th place: Pogolovsky, personal property 110.5 million (from country E)
Fifth place: Wei Zijian, personal property of 98 million (from Huaguo)
6th place: Adan, personal fortune of 86 million (from Arabbo)
7th place: Andrey, personal property of 60 million (from country F)
8th place: Rina Natsukawa, personal fortune of 41 million (from RB country)
Ninth place: Li Ming, personal property of 30.4 million yuan (from Huaguo)
Seeing this, Li Ming was already scared into a cold sweat, because in this list, he has become the last one!
"It's over!"
Li Ming took a deep breath, trying to calm his fears.
Now the tenth place has been removed by the boss behind the scenes, and Li Ming is very likely to follow in the footsteps of the person who has been killed next week.
This feeling made Li Ming panic and suffocated Li Ming, he had no second way to go, the only thing he could do was to surpass the eighth place so that he could survive.
"The eighth place is more than 10 million more than me, how can I overtake her in a week?"
Li Ming was very apprehensive in his heart, and he quickly opened his personal property file to check it.
Name: Li Ming
Number of funds held: 30,400,000
Mission completions: 1
Mission completion rate: 100 percent
Connections: 13
Fame: -20
Completion of the richest man plan: 0.8 percent
This property file is indeed a lot of improvement compared to last week, but it is not enough to surpass the eighth place.
Through this list, Li Ming also learned one thing.
That is, like houses and helicopters, are not counted in personal property, which means that Li Ming must turn all his wealth into visible deposits!
At this time, Li Ming had already returned to his bedroom from the bathroom.
There are dozens of bedrooms in the castle, and Li Ming chose a master bedroom on the second floor, although it is not particularly large, but it is enough for Li Ming.
Lying in bed, Li Ming tossed and turned, gambling his life in order to become a human being, is it really worth it?
Li Ming was weak, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and it wasn't until the text message from the weekly mission release came that Li Ming regained his strength.
Just like last time, the missions are still divided into three difficulties: easy, hard, and hell.
And this time, Li Ming didn't dare to choose the easy difficulty anymore, after all, his ranking was already at the bottom, if he chose the easy task again, I am afraid that he would be really cold next week.
"Anyway, I can ask Zhao Tingting to help me three times, even if I can't do it myself, there's nothing to be afraid of."
After Li Ming strengthened his thoughts, he finally chose the difficult difficulty.
'Difficult quest obtainment...'
Seeing this text message, Li Ming put his phone next to his pillow and slowly closed his eyes.
This feeling of the unknown made Li Ming panic and excited.
The moment the text message came, Li Ming sat up abruptly and blocked his hand on the screen.
Immediately afterward, little by little, he slowly removed his hand as if playing poker.
"72 hours?"
The first thing Li Ming saw was the limited time of the task, this time the task often gave Li Ming three days, presumably it would not be an easy task to complete.
When Li Ming's hands were all removed, the entire task content also appeared in his eyes.
"Impossible! Why is this happening! ”
Li Ming was completely crazy, he couldn't believe that this was the task given to him.
Because the content of the mission turned out to be...
'Mission Success: Kill Zhang Yun without leaving a trace, with a time limit of 72 hours!' ’
At this moment, Li Ming finally understood that this so-called task system was not random at all, but was arranged by someone, otherwise how could the system be random enough to let him kill Zhang Yun?
"I refuse, I will never kill Zhang Yun, don't even think about it!"
Li Ming didn't want to be manipulated by this richest man plan anymore, so he picked up his phone and pressed the 'refuse' option button!
But when Li Ming was about to press it, he stopped, his fingers trembled wildly, and beads of sweat the size of beans poured down like torrential rain, soaking Li Ming's clothes in just three seconds.
At this moment, Li Ming thought of all kinds of pictures of him and Zhang Yun, including happy, happy, sweet, and quarrelsome.
In the end, that warm feeling was gone, and Zhang Yun ignored himself, hated himself, betrayed himself, and framed himself in Li Ming's mind!
Love and hatred bound Li Ming's soul like the shackles of hell.
At this time, Li Ming seemed to have lost everything, his eyes were empty, and he couldn't see hatred or emotion.
It's just that when Li Ming came to his senses, his finger was already pressed on the phone screen.
But Li Ming chose not to refuse the task, but... Accept!
"I... I don't want to go back to the old days. ”
The guilt in Li Ming's eyes flashed, and it turned into an almost pathological madness.
He needs money, he needs status, he needs respect, he needs everything he never dared to think of!
Turn off the light, and in the dark bedroom, there are only Li Ming's unclosed eyes.
The phone fell to the ground, this night... Sleepless.
......
The next morning, when the tiredness hit, Li Ming finally fell asleep, but was awakened by a nightmare.
"Master, breakfast is ready for you."
There was a knock on Li Ming's bedroom door, and it was the maid in the castle who spoke.
"Got it, thanks."
Li Ming stretched his waist, washed up briefly, and then came to the hall of the ancient castle.
The table in the center of the hall was lined with nearly twenty different dishes, each of which was a top-notch delicacy that Li Ming had never tasted.
Although there were thirty female servants in the castle, they were all busy with their own things, and Li Ming was the only one to taste so many delicacies.
"Don't you all eat it?"
Li Ming picked up his fork and looked at the two of the maids and asked.
As soon as Li Ming spoke, the two maids immediately bowed to Li Ming: "Sorry master, the rules in the castle do not allow us to go to the main table." ”
"The rules of the castle?"
Li Ming was confused: "When did I set this rule?" ”
"Not your master, it's the owner of the previous castle."
One of the long-haired maids explained.
"Where did the previous owner go?" Li Ming picked up a lobster and asked.
"I don't know, it suddenly disappeared two years ago."
The maid recalled: "Before he left, he said that in three years we would have a new master. ”
"This?"
Li Ming got goosebumps after hearing this, as if he had been arranged in the dark, otherwise this would be too much of a coincidence, right?
And the most important thing is that the previous owner of the castle is gone, and these thirty maids have never had the idea of leaving this castle?
"You never leave the castle, so who will pay you?"
Li Ming asked seemingly unconcerned.
And there was a clear flash of panic in the eyes of the two maids.
There was silence for a long time before the maid explained, "We don't have a pay, and we..."
Before the words fell, another maid secretly pinched the other party's arm in fright, signaling her not to say anything more.
Although Li Ming saw these details, he didn't say anything about them.
Since participating in the richest man training program, Li Ming has known that it is safer not to know many things than to know.
"I'm sorry, master, there are some things we can't tell you yet, please don't be surprised."
After the maid said this, she didn't wait for Li Ming to answer, and hurriedly walked towards the second floor.
Although this breakfast was delicious, Li Ming ate it tastelessly, and Li Ming had a deep fear in his heart for this strange castle.
Li Ming wants to uncover the secrets of this ancient castle, but not now.
Today is Monday, and after breakfast, Li Ming is ready to leave the castle to go to the seventh middle school.
After walking out of the castle, Li Ming stood outside the deserted suburbs and wanted to cry a little, because there was no taxi in the vicinity.
Even the taxi software does not have a single driver to take the order, and all of them are out of range.
"! It's just a make-up class at the end of Saturday, can't we take a day off? You can't even call a car in this place, so it's impossible to ask me to take a helicopter to school, right? ”
Li Ming cursed and vented all the unhappiness in his heart on the school.
At this moment, Li Ming's mobile phone suddenly rang, and the caller was his mother.
Only now did Li Ming realize that he had forgotten to tell his mother when he didn't come home all night.
"Hey, Mom, I was last night..."
As soon as Li Ming was about to explain, he heard the anxious voice of Li's mother from the other end.
"Where are you now? Hurry up and come to the hospital, something has happened to your dad! ”
Hearing this, Li Ming didn't say anything, hung up the phone directly, didn't care if he could stop the taxi, turned around and rushed into his ancient castle.
Immediately after, Li Ming rushed directly to the top floor of the castle, and he took out his mobile phone to dial the pilot's number.
"I don't care where you are, you must rush to the castle in ten minutes, I'm not consulting with you, I'm ordering!"
