Chapter 41: The Bad Guy

Everyone has their own style of play.

For example, Red-Eyed Assassin, Halt, and Itar prefer to kill other users rather than kill monsters.

They get more out of killing other users, and here they can do things that they can't do in real life.

In addition, they even learned the skill of "grabbing medicine", which allowed them to pick the desired items from the bodies of the deceased. This will only make them work extra hard when looking for other users.

"So what?"

Conor snorted as he heard their story.

As Ed scratched his empty nostrils with his fingers.

In front of Conor and Ed

Holt and Eder are fully bound by bone bondage and hang upside down from a tree.

"We made a mistake," Holt said. We won't do it again. ”

"Definitely. From now on, we will live normally. Itar added.

Usually, captured criminals are sent to the Security Service in exchange for a bounty.

However, Conou did not choose to do so;

Thus, the two criminals claim that they will behave well from now on in order to escape.

Sadly, this is the wrong move. After all, Con'ou is absolutely not interested in justice or guidance.

"Do some bad things too," Conou said. You can't live a good life all the time, especially in this cruel world. ”

"You have to look out for your own interests. ”

Of course, he would rather choose to live an evil life than be taken advantage of.

"But..."

"Why do you tie us up like this and hang us?"

Both Holt and Ithar asked.

"What do you mean, 'why'? you tried to ambush us and got caught, and you thought we were going to get you rid of the Scots?"

"And then?" Itar asked.

"Give me all your money. ”

Conou bent his thumb and forefinger and shoved them into Itar's face.

"Driver?"

"Money?"

Stop and retort to Itar.

"I'm generous here, so my equipment is good too. But it must be at least one level. ”

"We're sorry. Please forgive us for ......"

Itar tried to buy time.

"Hey, shut up. ”

Conou choked him and opened a message window.

-Aso

Kang Ou sent a message to Asus.

- Dad, what's wrong?

She responded immediately.

- Are you busy?

- No, I'm not busy.

- You're in Altan, right?

-yes

- Would you mind going to the Security Bureau to see what the bounty for Holt and Itar is?

- I will go look for it and contact you.

-Thank you. I'll buy you some more good food later.

-Good!

Con'ou closed the message window and stared at Holt and Itar.

"And where am I?"

“...”

Holt and Itar shut their mouths.

They don't want to talk about money or equipment.

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Cono slapped their cheeks in annoyance.

"Ahh ”

Their faces suddenly wrinkled. Despite not being hurt since they entered the competition, it is truly humiliating.

"Where am I?"

Con'ou turned to Eder.

"You're talking about the middle of the way they give you money or equipment. ”

"Ah, yes. I told them to give me money or a level of gear. ”

Cono nodded. Then he stared at Hart and Itar and said, "What's your bounty?"

Holt and Itar shut their mouths again.

"Are you really going to keep doing this!?"

There was fire in his eyes. At the same time, he raised his hands as if to clap his hands.

"We're ten pieces of gold!" shouted Itar.

"Are you sure?"

Conou frowned.

"I'm sure. Itar screamed again.

"If you're lying to me, you're going to miss out. ”

"It's not a lie," Holt said. ”

Holt added, "We're primary key scum and suitable for beginners and low-level users, so we're not worth that much. ”

"Well, I guess it's okay. I'll ask someone to check it out for me, so we'll see if you're lying. ”

Con'ou's statement caused both Holt and Itar's faces to lose color.

An expression that seems to say "we're messed up".

Of course. '

Considering their expressions, Cono could tell that they lied.

Then, he received a message from Aso.

Each piece is worth 50 gold.

Thank you.

Conou pinched his cheek.

"Oh. Each of you is worth 50 gold?"

Cono smiled.

They are worth a total of 100 gold!

This means that if he is brought to the Security Service, he will receive at least 1 million yuan ($1,000).

''That's a lot more than I expected. Should I just be a bounty hunter?

Conou briefly wondered if he should be a bounty hunter.

However, it will not be easy to find the Killer King in the vast Arth, unless they come to him voluntarily like these two.

There are actually some powerful and psychotic users in Parkes.

Conou completely abandoned the idea of becoming a bounty hunter and focused solely on the current situation.

"If you give me your money or equipment, I'll let you go. Or you can rot the prison. The choice is yours!"

Stopped, Itar's eyes twitched.

Conou just smiled.

He smiled affirmatively, as if to say, "You have no choice but to give me money".

Heavy penalties will be imposed when the game ends or if you die in Arth.

Death not only reduces people's level and proficiency, but also has a certain chance that they will lose their equipment or property.

In addition, they receive negative effects for 1 week after death.

The debuff will reduce a person's abilities by 10% while reducing their experience by the same amount.

If they die again under the debuff, the debuff stacks and refreshes the debuff timer.

But in a way, being sentenced to prison is worse than the death penalty.

The offender's charges will be weighed against the severity and frequency of their crimes, and the offender will be forced to jail regardless of how long it has been decided.

Just like in a real prison cell, users in prison can't do anything in the game.

This means they are forced to look at the ceiling or walls, wasting valuable time.

In addition, they may have to pay fines for their crimes, and most have their devices confiscated.

If they don't have the money or equipment to pay the fine, then their jail time will be extended

Therefore, there is a common narrative among users who use Als.

I'd rather die than go to jail.

Holt and Itar agree.

For them, paying Conou's fees and avoiding jail time was the right decision.

"Let's give him money. ”

"Yes, we can get it back from other users right away. ”

Itar exchanged glances with him.

"We'll give you money," Holt said. ”

"Good choice. ”

Cono signaled to Eder, who whispered a spell.

The bones that once held them tightly loosened, and they were able to remove an arm from their arm.

"You should have access to inventory with one hand," Conou said.

"But," Holt said, "...... We need guarantees. ”

"What?"

Conou frowned, his eyes seemed to say, "How dare they!?".

"If you're willing to sign Sabra's contract, we'll give you money right away," Holt said. ”

"What, the contract?"

Conou's eyes are like lasers emitting murderous intent.

"Oops. ”

Holt and Itar cleared their throats and turned their heads away from Conou's gaze.

At that moment, Conou's lips lifted slightly.

He has some kind of plan!

Then, after he and Itar turned their heads, Conou quickly returned to his normal state.

"In exchange, I'll charge you twice as much," Conou said firmly.

"T-shaped - sort of..."

Once Itar is done, Conou threatens.

"That's good! Negotiations are over. Ed, too, covered their mouths with bones. ”

"Good. ”

Edel held out his hand, but he and Itar quickly shouted.

"Twice!"

"Double!"

Conou waved his hand and motioned for him to stop.

"Then give me 200 gold, 400 gold in total!"

Itar said, "Hmm...... I think there was some misunderstanding here. Two times will be 100 gold each, or a total of 200 gold. ”

"Misunderstanding? I didn't misunderstand. In total, your bounty is worth 100 gold, right?"

"Yes. Itar replied.

"And the 50 gold you owe me to make up for the psychological damage you did to me, you followed me and then ambushed me," Conou said.

"Hu?"

"You also owe £50 for the psychological damage you have done to our pure Ed. ”

Conou pointed to Eder.

"Pure" Ed's eyes turned blue.

"You said you're going to pay double, so 200 twice equals 400 gold!, right?"

Conou raised two fingers.

"Who in the world is calculating such a thing......"

"You mean psychological damage? It doesn't make any sense. ”

Who was hung upside down from the tree? But is Con Ou the one who wants compensation?

Holt and Itar were speechless, feeling that his statement was ridiculous.

However, Conou is the one who is controlled.

"Huh. You still don't get it, do you?"

Conou glanced at Eder and gave him a signal.

Eder blocked Holt and Itar's mouths with his bones.

He said to Ed: "Let's go to the Security Service. Ed nodded in response.

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

Conou grabbed Holt and Itar with the intention of throwing them off the tree, but they both struggled.

At the same time, they have only bare holes in their eyes, and they seem to say: "We will do what you say".

"Should I give you another chance?" asked Con'ou after a pause.

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

"Okay, good. It's painful. Ed!"

Edel waved his hand in the air, and the bones covering Holt and Itar's mouths vanished.

"Hey. I'll give you 200 gold!"

"I promise. I really want to give you money. ”

Conou accepted their petition with a cold expression.

"I want to give you another 50 gold in exchange for you giving me such a hard time. So, you need to give me 250 gold each!"

Holt and Itar, fearing that the negotiations would break down again, immediately nodded their heads.

"Good. Then write the contract!"

"Okay. ”

"Good. ”

Hart and Itar immediately replied. They reacted quickly, fearing that Conou would increase the dosage.

However, Conou no longer intends to increase his expenses.

If he goes too far, there's a good chance they'll make a fuss and insist on going to jail instead.

"This is the Maginot Line. ”

Conou retrieved Sabra's contract and began writing it before the eyes of Holt and Itar.

"Hey, are you really rich?" asked Conou as he wrote his first letter.

"Yes, we do!"

"If we give you everything we have, then we have exactly 250. ”

"Okay. ”

Conou continued to write the contract.

It reads as follows:

Cono will not take the stop to the Security Bureau. In exchange, they will give Kangou 250 gold each.

Cono doesn't try to recapture them in the space of a day.

Holt and Itar will not retaliate on their own or through agency contracts.

If these provisions are violated, then the violator will become a criminal and will be summoned to the Security Service and will be in jail for 30 days.

Cono went through the completed contracts.

"There is nothing to remove, and even if the contract is torn up, I will not be punished. ”

Sabra's contract is useful, but also dangerous. Therefore, it must be used sparingly. Unless they want to be judged and punished for their actions.

Once he was sure he was well written, Conou put the contract in front of Holt and Itar's eyes.

Although they hung upside down, they looked at the contract carefully with their eyes open.

"Good, right?"

"The clause that we won't retaliate or sign someone to retaliate is a bit ......," Itar began, but Conou frowned again.

"Why, you're going to get revenge? You still don't understand, you ......."

"No, absolutely not!" shouted Itar at once.

Then Harter said: "Please add a clause that the skeletons there cannot capture us and hand us over to the Security Service." ”

"I summoned him, so you have nothing to worry about. Cono said as he looked at Ed.

Eder was about to say that he wasn't Con'ou's summons, but Con'ou gave him a look, so he didn't say anything.

"Please add it anyway. ”

Holt's position has not changed, at least.

"It's painful. Well, I see. ”

Conou added another line to the contract.

He was unable to bring Holt or Itar to the Security Service by subpoena or special skills.

"Good, right?"

"For a while..."

The moratorium requires some more time to double-check the contract.

"Man, it's a real pain. Sum ......," Conou said with a frown.

"It's fine. I'll sign. ”

"I'll sign it right away. ”

They were afraid that he would increase the sum again, so they immediately answered.

After Conou ended with his own signature, the contract glittered and became three, each with the same exact contents.

The contract is formed!

[According to the contract, you have received 250 gold from Holt.] ]

[According to the contract, you have received 250 gold from Itar. ]

His pocket was just filled with 500 gold!

"Even though I haven't discovered the hidden dungeon yet, I won the lottery. ”

As a result, Conou's lips began to curl upwards.

In addition, he was glad that it was not over yet.

"So, let's get started now. ”

"Yes, we're leaving now. ”

Hart and Itar said.

"Oh, yes. We have to go. ”

Cono nodded.

"Please untie yourself. ”

They were still hanging upside down from the tree bound by bones.

"Ed. "Conou called.

"Throw these guys at the Security Service and come back. Make sure you bring home a £100 bounty. ”

"What?"

"This is a breach of contract ......"

Holt and Itar shouted in surprise.

"This man is not my summons, he is my partner. Therefore, he has nothing to do with the contract. ”

Cono smiled wickedly.

"We've been deceived!"

"We've been here!"

It felt as if they had been stabbed in the back.

"You. ”

Holt was about to curse, but his mouth was covered in bones and he couldn't finish it. Itar is in the same situation.

"That's it. ”

When Conou introduces him to his calling, Eder has some ideas, and that's how it turns out.

After all, Ed was also deceived by the contract.

"That's why you have to be cautious about contracts. Well, I'll make good use of gold. When your bounty is higher, let's meet again. ”

Cono smiled and waved.

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

"I'll be back," Ed said.

The bones completely covered Holt and Itar, but did not give them a chance to escape.

Ed dragged two bones with him.

Now alone, Con Ou stretched his body.

"Did I make 600 gold at once?"

A lot of money is spent this week to make up for the waste of not finding the hidden dungeon.

However, he was not happy with this. He still craves more. Much more!
