23. Chapter 23 (Catching Bugs) The Missing Sister (1(2/3)
The tough-talking player's face was livid, and he felt as if he had thorns all over his body when he was stared at by everyone's mocking eyes. Even though he was greedy for the first-hand information on how to clear the level, he finally couldn't stand the humiliation and left the viewing area cursing.
The viewing area suddenly became much clearer, and the remaining players began to discuss Lu Miao's operation just now.
"I never expected that the mutated residents would actually eat the flesh of their own compatriots... Not to mention, since the oil itself can burn, why did Lu Miao buy two large bags of flour? That's two whole points!
"
"Uh... Qian is too willful? Maybe the oil needs to be hung on the monster's body so that it can be fully burned?"
"No matter what the reason is, I really didn't expect Lu Miao to do this. Is he really a newbie? Zhou Dongfeng had never done this before, right? He used the fire attack by mistake.
, and the monster almost killed me!"
The group of people's discussion became louder and louder. Zhou Dongfeng finally couldn't hold it back. He clenched the cigarette rod and looked back.
As a result, the person who spoke was stunned for a moment. Instead of feeling scared, he nodded cheerfully: "Hello, Mr. Zhou! Mr. Zhou, are you here to learn from this newcomer? Nice to meet you!"
"…………"
Zhou Dongfeng took a deep breath, holding it in so hard that his neck felt thick. He looked around the other person with his dark eyes for several times. Just as he was about to speak, the scene around him suddenly changed.
[The performance of player "Lu Miao" has exceeded 100% of the players in the current dungeon, and the recommendation position has been raised to the recommendation position of the "Single Player Game" tab on the home page of the newcomer area, currently ranking 1/4]
[The player "Lu Miao" performed well and became the only surviving player in the current copy. The recommendation position has been raised to the strong recommendation position on the homepage of the newcomer area, currently ranking 12/12. ]
The moment the system prompted the message, most of the players who had previously mocked Lu Miao were kicked out. The remaining few were stunned for a moment. After realizing what had happened, their faces turned as red as a monkey's butt.
Now it was the others' turn to sneer and say: "Tsk tsk... didn't you say that Lu Miao couldn't survive even a minute? Who clicked on the subscription, and Lu Miao didn't get kicked out even if he changed the recommended position?"
"While scolding Lu Miao, I also want to get first-hand information from him, as well as a share of the live broadcast investment, right? Why should some people be so thick-skinned!"
The faces of those people were so darkened by what they said that they wished they could find a hole in the ground to burrow down. In the end, they had no choice but to go offline and escape the piercing gazes of everyone.
While everyone was paying attention to those people, Yu Qian looked at the suddenly vacant space next to him and was stunned.
Just now, he was excited because of Lu Miao's understated comeback. He was about to discuss Lu Miao's operation with Zhou Dongfeng. When he turned his head, he saw that Mr. Zhou and other viewers who had not subscribed to Lu Miao's live broadcast room were sent out.
!
Boss Zhou didn’t subscribe to Lu Miao’s live broadcast room?
...but wasn't he very optimistic about Lu Miao from the beginning, and even publicly asked for his live broadcast ID!
He raised his head and glanced at Wu Haitao, who was still there with a fierce look on his face but staring at the screen. Then he looked at where Zhou Dongfeng was. Something seemed to collapse in Yu Qian's mind.
In front of the recommended position on the home page of the newcomer area.
Zhou Dongfeng was sandwiched among a group of players who had also been kicked out. He was silent for a moment, and finally rejoined the live broadcast room where Lu Miao was, despite everyone's surprised looks.
[The top ten player "Zhou Dongfeng" in the standings entered the live broadcast room, arousing strong onlookers. 】
[The top ten player "Zhou Dongfeng" in the standings has collected it and subscribed to your live broadcast. Please don't let down the players' expectations of you~]
Zhou Dongfeng: "..."
This system always gave him the illusion that it was nothing serious to watch.

In Nan Xiang's second bedroom, the monster was lying on the floor screaming in pain, but the monster outside was frightened by the flames.
Although they were also tempted by the smell of meat and salivated with saliva, their mutated palms and soles were digging anxiously into the ground, but when they saw the flames, they all arched their bodies and neighed in fear.
photophobia.
The corners of Lu Miao's lips curved into a subtle arc.
When Lao Wang was raised by the human-skin monster, he could not see the light. Even when he ate in the restaurant, he could only use weak old light bulbs. But when Lao Wang, who was transformed into a human-skin monster, came back, the lights in the living room were so bright.
surprisingly.
Over at Wang Xiaomei's school, the dormitories and teaching buildings were equally dark, and the corridors were pitch black.
He had wondered before that if the human-skinned monster didn't want to reveal its identity and wasn't afraid of light, why would it make its lair look so suspicious? Now he finally found the answer -
It's not the human-skinned monsters that are afraid of light, but these mutated products that have been bred.
[Monster card refresh:
Name: Human Sacrifice (formerly Lao Wang)
Weaknesses: Big meatball (not named by the system)/fire/strong light
Attack power: 300% of the copy’s combat power]
Looking at the name on the monster card, the fire reflected in Lu Miao's eyes jumped a few times, and there was an expected clarity.
His guess was indeed correct. Since the human-skin monster has strict requirements for its "bloodline", the town residents should be discarded after they mutate. But instead of destroying these residents, they risked being discovered.
Risk, hiding them, it can be seen that it has other effects.
This is their role.
[Main mission progress refreshed, bloody breeding of human-skinned monsters, mission progress: 40%]
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The aroma of barbecue became stronger and stronger, and the weather became gloomier without knowing when. The sunlight outside the window could hardly be felt, and the whole town fell into darkness.
At the same time, no matter far or near, rumbles of footsteps were heard from all over the town. Lu Miao felt the slight vibration under his feet. He looked past the flames and met the eyes of the gloomy old Wang behind the door, smiling softly.
For a moment.
"I'm sorry, Lao Wang. I accidentally burned down your house."
"..." Lao Wang's face suddenly twisted, and he stared at Lu Miao behind the flames with a malicious expression, his face becoming more and more ferocious.
[Monster card refresh:
Name: Human skin monster
Weakness: Fire/?/?(to be explored)
Attack power: 400% of the copy’s combat power]

Night fell silently.
Due to the fear of the bright light among the humans and animals, and the intimidation of Lao Wang, fewer and fewer humans and animals were attracted by the cooked monster meat into the flames, and the flames in front of Lu Miao gradually extinguished.
There was only a pile of debris left on the floor of the room in front of me.
The corpses of the human animals were burnt to black. The strange thing was that their corpses were burnt to a very small size, and the remaining body parts were not as many as some of the clothes that were not easy to burn.
After these small town residents mutated, they seemed to have no bones, just like a huge piece of fat meat, and the appetizing smell of meat also turned into a weird, mixed smell of putridity and oil.
Disgusting smell.
Before the last trace of firelight went out, Lu Miao looked through the window and saw a dense crowd of people gathered outside. Although the faces could not be seen clearly, the iconic chimney-like heads were enough to indicate the identities of these things.
The residents of the entire town have all turned into human beings.
All the monsters were activated, and the entire town fell under the control of the human-skinned monster. When only Lu Miao was left alive in the entire dungeon, they lost the need to disguise themselves.
The residents of the town came out in droves, and Lu Miao couldn't even tell for a while how many of them were real monsters and how many were the original residents of the town.
Although Lu Miao had already expected it when the system issued the notification, when he actually saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel dazed.
Once upon a time, the owners of these faces had stood before him alive. When Lu Miao first entered "Ideal Town", he was not interested in anything because of the great changes he encountered. He chose "Ideal Town", but he didn't know that there was
What reason to die?
It was the NPCs from "Ideal Town" who smiled at him day after day as he just came online:
"Lu Miao, good morning."
"Kitten, do you want to go out to deliver letters today?"
"Don't work yourself too hard! Come to my place for a piece of cake after you get off work! This is a limited time for messengers only!"
…
However, now, these faces have been distorted and mutated, becoming something extremely unfamiliar to him.
Feeling two tangible eyes falling on him, Lu Miao suddenly came back to his senses and looked in the direction of the eyes. He saw two human-skinned monsters with the faces of Lao Wang and Cui Yuxiang standing not far away.
He was looking at himself with evil intentions.
Among them, the human skin monster that replaced Cui Yuxiang didn't know when the already endangered human skin completely fell off. When she moved, the human skin fell off her body like dead tree bark, revealing large swaths of it.
dark red.
The strange thing is that Lao Wang's human skin is very tough. Except for the strange wrinkles and shadows on both sides of his cheeks when he makes expressions, he is almost the same as the real Lao Wang.
Lu Miao frowned, but had no time to think.
The flames had subsided, and the fear of humans and animals had also disappeared, and they once again surrounded Lu Miao.
These humans don't have much IQ. Every time they get close, Lu Miao will mix up two portions of flour and cooking oil to burn them. The humans who get closer will not learn their lesson at all, just like the first batch of humans.
, rushing into the fire one after another, gnawing on the corpses of the same kind, while quickly turning into charcoal.
But this method quickly lost its original effect.
