After a familiar process, both Wen Wen and Wu Wang’s hands displayed a game mark. The game was now established and would not stop until one party could no longer pay the price.
Once the game was established, Wen Wen secretly contacted Chu Wei, signaling him that he could now come out and eliminate the monsters.
The game officially began with a dice roll. The higher roll won. Wu Wang and Wen Wen each rolled the dice. Wu Wang rolled a three, while Wen Wen rolled a five.
The first round, Wen Wen won!
The wealthy Wu Wang casually tossed Wen Wen a circular shield with a bullseye painted on it. This was his containment item for Wen Wen.
"This shield can reduce the power of disaster-level attacks and reflect attacks below disaster-level. Additionally, as long as you hold this shield, enemies attacking you will instinctively target its center. The weaker the opponent, the greater the influence of this shield."
"Heh, it's quite a good item."
For Wen Wen, the shield's defensive capabilities weren't particularly useful, but he found it interesting, so he accepted it.
The second round of the game was Rock Paper Scissors. Wen Wen and Chu Wei each had three cards, which they placed on a tray in front of a bronze dancer.
The bronze dancer opened them. Wen Wen played rock, while Wu Wang played paper. Wu Wang won this round!
Wu Wang looked at Wen Wen expectantly and said, "Now, it's your turn to do what you agreed to!"
Wen Wen reluctantly picked up the Scorching Tiger and, after a long hesitation, fired at a hunter.
The bullet, imbued with immense destructive power, shot out, felling an unsuspecting hunter with a single shot. The bullet penetrated him, shattering his entire head. He collapsed to the ground, motionless, his breath completely gone, clearly dead.
Wen Wen said he'd shoot their heads, and he shot their heads.
Wu Wang burst into laughter. The game rules had not been violated, meaning Wen Wen had followed the rules. He had indeed shot the head of a hunter!
"I like people who are as straightforward as you!"
Wu Wang's enthusiasm for the game suddenly soared. He continued to play various fun mini-games with Wen Wen. He didn't get discouraged after losing two rounds and was very generous, gifting Wen Wen two more containment items.
When Wu Wang won for the second time, he widened his eyes, looking at Wen Wen expectantly, wondering who Wen Wen would kill this time.
A smirk played on Wen Wen's lips, his expression almost breaking. He picked up his gun and aimed at a hunter, firing.
Wu Wang's grin stretched from ear to ear. Another hunter's life force vanished. This game that had come knocking was incredibly worthwhile. If only everyone playing games with him was like Wen Wen.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he reacted with a jolt.
"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!"
"The hunter you killed the first and second time was the same person! His head was clearly blown apart earlier, so why is he standing there again to let you shoot him?"
"I saw his life force disappear. Such an injury is incurable even with a panacea, so why can he still stand?"
"You cheated! This doesn't count as fulfilling the game's penalty!"
Wen Wen picked his nose and looked at Wu Wang with a dead-fish gaze, saying dismissively, "What else would you expect? Did you think I was an idiot, actually going to kill someone?"
"Besides, you know in your heart whether I violated the rules or not."
Wu Wang was so furious he almost spat blood. However, the game rules were already set. The game wouldn't stop until one party couldn't complete the penalty. Even if he wanted to go back on his word, it would come at a great cost. He could only grit his teeth and continue playing with Wen Wen.
It wasn't Wu Wang's fault for being careless. It was simply that Wen Wen's demeanor was incredibly deceptive. He looked like someone who could go on an indiscriminate killing spree at any moment, something that was difficult to fake.
That feeling was from the inside out. Even if Wen Wen was just imitating, he surpassed the most insane people Wu Wang had ever met by far.
In a way, this "berserk state" increased Wen Wen's credibility. Even if Wen Wen's expressions were faked, the self-emanating aura of madness could not be faked.
As a result, Wu Wang never expected that Wen Wen was actually tricking him.
Moreover, the conditions Wen Wen offered were too tempting. Wu Wang also needed the hunters to be thinned out, which led him straight into Wen Wen's trap.
Most importantly, Wu Wang had no idea that there were even hunters whose heads could be blown apart and then completely recover!
"Let's continue the game. You can't go back on your word!" Wen Wen said slyly, his eyes narrowed, no longer showing the previous crazed demeanor.
Wu Wang spat out a few words through gritted teeth: "Fine… fine, I'll play with you!"
The subsequent game was still a dice roll. This time, Wu Wang picked up the dice and began to examine them closely, as if trying to find a flower on them.
His delaying tactics were far from limited to just looking at the dice. Although the game rules could not be violated, Wu Wang could stall the game's progress to cut his losses.
Meanwhile, the hunters were almost done clearing out the small monsters and were preparing to advance into the underground parking lot.
Wen Wen sighed. It seemed his deception could only go this far. He had originally thought he could gain more benefits from Chu Wei's immortality.
Still, he wasn't losing anything in the current situation.
A fierce glint appeared in Wen Wen's eyes. He was about to make a move on Wu Wang, hoping to keep him here forever. As for the game mark, he could always return to the containment facility and erase it.
But before Wen Wen could make his move, Wu Wang started spitting blood.
He kept spitting, wave after wave, like diarrhea, which actually made Wen Wen hesitant to attack.
Wu Wang looked at the underground parking lot with horror. He had summoned small monsters for so long before, and only lost one puppet.
But just now, his remaining five puppets were all killed in an extremely short period!
The final memories of the puppets fed back to Wu Wang, and he saw the scene before they died.
Wu Wang's game puppets were different from ordinary puppets. They were the product of taking a superpowered individual entirely through winning and then modifying them after erasing their self-awareness.
In essence, his game puppets were actually superpowered individuals controlled by him, which was why they could communicate between the inner and outer worlds using this method to lure monsters into reality.
Monsters summoned through this method would typically target the summoner as their primary objective.
However, Wu Wang's puppets, while lacking other abilities, had strong self-preservation capabilities. Therefore, the small monsters that couldn't harm the puppets shifted their target to the ordinary people outside the parking lot who had no resistance.
According to Wu Wang's prior estimation, when three or four of his puppets were lost, it would be enough to throw the entire city of Hua Shi into chaos.
But unexpectedly, after summoning for so long, only one puppet had collapsed due to the inability to withstand repeated summons. The other puppets were fine.
And just as Wu Wang was preparing to stop, the vision of five puppets simultaneously converged on a single point: a greenish-blue bird claw reached out from the void…
