Jing Xi instinctively retracted his hand and frowned. “Be careful not to get a cold sore in your mouth.”

Chi Yao: “…”

With the three miniature robots, it was very easy to get through the crowd of transformed people.

After they left the fire escape, Li Yuan and Lu Meng casually closed the metal door and locked it.

Jing Xi checked the scan feedback from Xiao Hong and led them toward the east, where the main control room was.

On the way, his gaze swept over the metal passages and walls. His eyes turned cold.

This was military-grade aerospace metal. It had excellent defensive properties, was very expensive, and was not circulated on the market.

But here, in this Happy Tower, it was everywhere.

The main control room was wrapped in five layers of metal. The door was tightly shut, and it was impossible to break through from the outside with force.

Jing Xi was about to have Xiao Lan try to break through when the door was opened from the inside, and a group of fully armed people walked out.

Chi Yao smiled. “It’s a bit polite of them to come out and greet us.”

Jing Xi: “You take the left, I’ll take the right.”

The two of them acted almost simultaneously. The launchers went through the open metal door and were firmly fixed.

After pressing the tighten button, Chi Yao used the wall as leverage to flip over. He swept his military knife horizontally, killing three people with one strike.

Jing Xi used the tightened rope to pull out his pistol and shot them all in the head.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Hei covered them to the door and turned into long rods, wedging themselves in the middle of the door.

The people who came out only thought they were ordinary players who had escaped, but they didn’t expect them to be on a completely different level than before.

A moment of carelessness cost them a heavy price.

In a short time, the group of people at the main control room’s door was annihilated.

Chi Yao swaggered in. With a lazy voice and in the terrified eyes of the programmers inside, he said, “If you don’t want to die, go into that small room and stay there.”

The programmers looked at the small room he was pointing to. It was a small warehouse for equipment.

They looked at each other, moved along the wall into the room, and closed the door.

Chi Yao: “Xiao Hong, go help Daddy guard the door.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Who is whose daddy?

Of course, Xiao Hong ignored him.

Chi Yao said again, “Be a good boy, and I’ll let you go for a walk with your brothers.”

Xiao Hong immediately flew in front of Jing Xi. A small virtual screen popped up above its head.

[Really?]

Jing Xi: “…”

You’re too easy to trick.

He nodded helplessly. “Don’t go too far.”

Xiao Hong flew with a whoosh to the door of the small room and directly blocked the gap.

In the huge main control room, only the four of them were left.

Jing Xi found the location of the AI Cyberin’s chip, raised his hand, and was ready to shoot.

“Wait.” Chi Yao pressed his hand down and smiled mischievously. “This is a rare opportunity. It would be a shame to just destroy it.”

Jing Xi glanced at the faint dimples at the corners of his mouth.

Someone was about to have a bad day.

Chi Yao walked to the wall of surveillance screens and pressed a few buttons on the console.

AI Cyberin: [Are you sure you want to turn off the smart supervision?]

Chi Yao confirmed it. He took back the surveillance authority from the AI, turned on the voice-activated system, adjusted the voice, and spoke into the microphone.

[This is now a team-building activity for the employees. All employees, please listen carefully to the following rules. If you lose your life due to a violation, this AI will not be held responsible—]

[Everyone, please stand still and take off your clothes. Fold them and place them at your feet. If they are not in the shape of a block of tofu, you will be punished. You have two minutes. The countdown starts now—]

Jing Xi: “…”

You’re very good at applying what you’ve learned.

Li Yuan: “…”

Why does this game feel so familiar?

Each floor of the Happy Tower was equipped with hundreds of transformed people. They were all squatting at the entrances and exits. When they heard this prompt, they were a little confused.

Black Mask and his subordinates, who had just reached the fifth floor, paused.

The Beta in black looked in the direction of the voice-activated system and asked in confusion, “Boss, is Cyberin malfunctioning?”

Black Mask paused for a moment, turned around, and walked up. “They’re in the main control room!”

The Beta in black was startled.

What are these people doing there? It’s not an exit, and there’s nothing valuable there. If they get discovered, they might even lose their lives. There’s no reason for them to be there.

Just as they reached the fire escape, the door suddenly slammed shut in front of them. The AI’s voice rang out again.

[Please abide by the rules of the game. There are 1 minute and 37 seconds left until the game ends.]

Black Mask retreated a few steps and told the people below to smash the door.

But this door was made of military-grade aerospace metal. It couldn’t be destroyed without large-scale hot weapons.

He saw that the situation was not good and turned to walk toward the fourth floor.

When he was halfway there, he saw that the fire escape door was open. Black Mask sped up, but the door was once again closed in front of him.

“Damn it!” The Beta in black who followed him cursed under his breath and punched the metal door.

[There are 57 seconds left until the game ends—55 seconds—]

No one took these words seriously.

When the countdown ended, the fire escape door on the fourth floor suddenly opened.

The Beta in black’s eyes lit up. “The door is open!”

A few transformed people walked out first.

“Ah—!”

A scream suddenly came from them.

The people behind them went to look and were so scared that they immediately retreated back into the fire escape.

The area outside the passage was a shooting game.

But at this moment, the shooting equipment was being controlled to aim at the fire escape.

The AI’s voice rang out again.

[The two-minute countdown has restarted. Everyone, please abide by the rules of the game.]

The Beta in black’s face was pale. He asked anxiously, “Boss, what should we do?!”

The amusement park had been operating for so many years, and they had never encountered people who dared to play their own game against them!

If they had known they were this powerful from the beginning, they wouldn’t have used the current warning system!

“To the first floor.”

The entire staircase was connected, but all the exits were sealed.

Now they could only hide in a relatively safe place.

When the two-minute countdown ended, the door on the first floor didn’t open like last time.

The Beta in black’s heart rate sped up. He had a faint feeling that something bad was about to happen.

A loud thud came from the top of the stairs, as if something heavy was rolling down.

He craned his neck to look.

When he saw what it was, his legs began to tremble.

It was an iron ball!

The door on the third floor opened. Iron balls with a diameter of two meters continuously rolled out and came down the stairs toward the first floor.

“Boss, quickly step on the handrail!”

The iron balls were not so big that they were impossible to dodge. Stepping on the handrail might help them dodge.

But there were thirty of them. By the time they thought of a way to dodge, the iron balls had already reached the second floor, and there wasn’t enough space on the handrail for so many people.

The Beta in black tried hard to stand on his tiptoes and held onto the staircase above to stabilize himself. Seeing that his subordinates were suffering heavy casualties, he completely panicked.

“Boss, what should we do?! Should we just do as it says?”

Now the entire staircase was sealed, like a playground specially prepared for them.

Every floor had movable game props. If this continued, they would probably be forced to play every game.

Black Mask’s face under the mask was very grim.

He snapped his fingers and brought up the communication page.

“A few flies have flown into KS481. Please send people over to deal with them.”

Chi Yao sat with his legs crossed in front of the surveillance screen, watching the chaos in the amusement park. He was smiling happily.

By the third round, someone finally took off their clothes as he had instructed and squatted there, shivering and folding their clothes.

Li Yuan’s face broke into a laugh.

“This is what these clowns deserve to experience!”

“It’s great!” Lu Meng said. He then subconsciously glanced at Jing Xi, pretending he hadn’t said anything just now.

Although the leader of Extreme Shadow, Chi Yao, often did inhumane things, it felt really good to use these methods against others.

Jing Xi looked at the time. “That’s enough. They must have a backup plan. It’s time to go.”

Such a large illegal amusement park couldn’t possibly have only this few guards. Once the other side’s reinforcements arrived, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Chi Yao said uncaringly, “What are you afraid of? With the main control system, they can’t do anything.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Is he getting addicted to this?

His gaze swept over the people on the screen.

Some people were already showing different degrees of transformation characteristics. This should be caused by external stimulation.

He didn’t object to Chi Yao dealing with them, but he didn’t want to see too much blood on Chi Yao’s hands.

Chi Yao was about to issue a second prank command when he suddenly heard a gasp from his side.

He turned his head and saw Jing Xi holding the wound on his finger, his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

It was a cut from a metal fragment. It shouldn’t be a big problem.

“What’s wrong?” Although he thought this, Chi Yao couldn’t help but ask.

Jing Xi’s lips were a little pale. “Maybe I accidentally touched some dirty blood during the grenade explosion. It’s nothing.”

Chi Yao’s expression changed. He walked over and violently pulled his hand to check it.

“If you had let me lick it just now, nothing would have—”

Chi Yao stopped mid-sentence.

There was only a pink wound on his finger that had already stopped bleeding. There were no other symptoms.

A hint of a smile flashed in Jing Xi’s eyes. He said with a serious face, “It’ll be fine if you lick it? Is your saliva that useful?”

Knowing he was being played, Chi Yao threw his hand away and sneered. “Are you getting arrogant because you’re in so much debt?”

Jing Xi: “What else?”

Chi Yao said bitterly, “Until you pay off your debt, your body is mine. I won’t allow any damage to it.”

Li Yuan and Lu Meng, who were listening to them bicker: “…”

What is this about “bodies” and “not bodies”? What kind of shady deal did you two make in private?!

Interrupted by this, Chi Yao lost the interest to continue playing.

Before leaving, he pulled out his pistol and shot the AI’s control chip.

The virtual screen above the Xiao Hong that had flown back popped up.

[That old man Cyberin is so annoying.]

Chi Yao grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms.

[All old men are annoying.]

Jing Xi glanced at Chi Yao from the corner of his eye and didn’t say anything.

Before they even reached the door, the entire tower shook. Chi Yao’s footsteps paused. He walked to the window and looked outside.

“What the hell!” Li Yuan cursed under his breath. “Where did these all come from?!”

It was noon. The clear sky was covered by countless small fighter jets.

These fighter jets were continuously moving toward the Happy Tower. The closer they got, the more densely packed they were.

“KS481,” Jing Xi’s eyes were cold. “This is a model that the military is planning to phase out at the end of the year.”

Every year, the military would phase out some old models of military equipment. Although they were called “phased out,” their performance was actually much better than the military equipment sold by general arms dealers on the market.

Most of this equipment would be sent to military academies as teaching tools and weapons reserves. Some were also sent to various low- and middle-level planets to serve as military supplies for the stationed troops.

Under no circumstances could they flow into the civilian market, let alone be sold to these illegal organizations.

If the metal materials and modified guns they saw before were just products of the gray market, then this large batch of military fighter jets must have a direct connection to the military.

Li Bo.

He had to check on this person first when they got back.

Chi Yao stood with his hands in his pockets, his expression indifferent.

“So many fighter jets. Even the AI can’t handle them. What should we do, Major General?”

Hearing this familiar mockery, Jing Xi’s expression didn’t change much.

“Scared? If you’re scared, hide behind me.”

Chi Yao: “…”
