Chapter 162 Game Over
Upon arriving at the building where the ruler resided, a residence resembling a king's castle, a boy with short, slightly curly blond hair and blue eyes opened the door.
Upon seeing Su Wu, he seemed momentarily taken aback, then smiled politely and introduced himself, "Hello, I am Liszt."
"Congratulations on obtaining the last card. Now please follow me."
This character's design doesn't look like it's just cannon fodder.
Su Wu's thoughts flashed through her mind. She nodded slightly and followed behind Liszt, walking through the long corridor until they arrived at a large door.
Liszt pushed open the door and was greeted by a dirty and messy room.
The ground was littered with things, books, and trash, making it impossible to find a place to step.
A man sitting on the ground, with a stubble beard, messy hair, and a disheveled appearance, looked like a gloomy, reclusive nerd. He turned around and looked at them.
"Oh, you've come..." The words he blurted out caught in his throat, and it took him a long time to finish the last word—"Yes."
Haha, that guy Jin was so sure that his son would beat the game, how could Jin possibly have such a white-haired kid?
Another player beat me to it, Jin.
It seems that we only need to give the boy the standard answer; the other answer is specially prepared for Jin's son.
"Cards." Su Wu reached out her hand to the disheveled man.
"Wait a minute, let me look..." The man rummaged through a pile of messy books, and finally pulled out a card from a corner and handed it to Su Wu.
"Don't you have any questions?" he asked curiously.
"I don't need to find my dad." The white-haired boy raised his eyebrows, looking completely unrestrained. "Give me the reward." He then stretched out his hand.
"...This." The man hesitated for a moment before taking out a rectangular card book and handing it to Su Wu.
There are only three compartments inside, and it can only hold three cards.
"As a reward for completing the level, you can take three cards with you when you leave," the man said.
"Are there any other rewards?" Su Wu asked.
"..." The man seemed speechless. "That's all."
What else does this kid want?!
"Then I'm leaving." Su Wu put away the card collection book containing the three cards and left the room directly.
Both Liszt and the slovenly man stared wide-eyed, seemingly surprised that the other would leave so hastily.
There was no curiosity whatsoever, no questions asked, and not even a hint of joy at receiving a reward.
Under their watchful eyes, the boy disappeared without looking back.
"So... he really left." The man's tone was slightly wistful.
There seem to be more and more interesting young people.
"There was supposed to be a celebration party..." Lister shook his head.
"Forget it, that kid doesn't seem like he'd like this kind of activity anyway." The slovenly man reverted to his carefree, shut-in demeanor.
But why hasn't Jin's son arrived yet?
……
"Which three cards should I bring...?" Su Wu stepped out of the castle gate and saw the boy in green standing at the entrance.
The other person also saw him, his expression resolute, his fist clenched, and then—expressionless, he strode towards the castle, brushing past Su Wu who was walking out.
"You can only select cards from a specific pocket..."
"One [Witch's Rejuvenation Potion], and two more..." Su Wu took out her card collection book, looking at the cards on it with a conflicted expression.
Many cards held little appeal for him; even [Breath of the Archangel] was of little use to him, as he could use the Reverse Spell himself.
As for the others, they're even less useful. The "Witch's Rejuvenation Potion" comes in a bottle with 100 pills; each pill makes you one year younger. You could sell some to Batra, but a whole bottle? Impossible.
His deal with Batra had long ended, and he didn't need to hand over the things he brought out. So if Batra wanted them, he would have to buy them with money.
One pill costs a billion, ten pills would only cost ten billion. Batra could easily buy thirty or forty pills. Anyway, this amount of money is nothing to a rich guy.
"Then I'll take the Elder's Height-Increasing Medicine and the Soul-Wandering Pillow." He made the decision casually, as if he had just thought of something.
[Elder's Height-Increasing Medicine] Serial number 067, difficulty of obtaining B, card amount 30, one bottle contains 100 pills, one pill increases height by one centimeter, it is recommended to take it after adulthood.
【Wandering Soul Pillow】Serial number 019, difficulty of obtaining A, card amount 13. Using this pillow to sleep allows your soul to leave your body. If your soul does not return to your body within 24 hours, it will become a real ghost and will never be able to return to your body.
With that thought in mind, he took the three cards out of the regular card book and put them into the newly acquired card book.
[Game complete.]
Back to where the game console was.
Everything on Greed Island is real, so even after returning to Meteor City, there's no feeling of leaving the game world and returning to the real world.
The church in Meteor City was no different from usual, except that the children were not outside the church, but inside. Sid and other priests and nuns were guarding them outside, and even Pampas, who rarely showed up, had come here.
eccentric.
The place where Su Wu was located was where Xi De meditated and cultivated, and it was relatively quiet.
"Contact Batra and ask him if he wants to buy the witch's anti-aging potion," Su Wu said to Maro beside her.
"Yes." The blond youth nodded in agreement and went to the side to make a phone call.
Su Wu then took out her card collection book and materialized all three cards.
The two bottles of medicine and the pillow are props; they won't disappear after one use.
"I don't need to shrink for now, as for growing taller..." Su Wu looked at the mark she had carved on the wall two years ago.
After his time on Greed Island, he had grown to 1.75 meters tall and was steadily approaching 1.8 meters, but he wasn't in a hurry.
With that in mind, he promptly swallowed five height-increasing pills.
In an instant, his height jumped to 1.8 meters.
If he's 1.8 meters tall at 15, won't he definitely grow to at least 2 meters?
However, there are also side effects. The height increases dramatically in an instant, but the body fat doesn't keep up, so the person looks thinner.
If you eat even more at the same time, you might end up as skin and bones.
"The rest... you can eat ten every two weeks from now on." Su Wu looked at the big white tiger beside her.
Kong's parents are very tall, nearly five meters in height. If Kong takes these height-increasing drugs, he might grow to six meters.
Indeed, as his pet, one must surpass one's master.
Thinking this, he fed Kong ten pills directly. Kong's body length increased by ten centimeters. Its thick fur made it not look too thin, but it didn't look as round as before.
"Eat more every day from now on." Su Wu patted her empty head.
Fluffy and rounded is cuter; if it's too thin, it won't feel as nice to the touch.
"Have Batra bring some food," he said, turning to Maro.
Food supplies in District 12 are rationed. If Kong eats without restraint, West Germany and the Pampas will probably have to ask him to spend money to replenish supplies in less than half a month.
Let's just rip off the rich guys.
In the church hall, West Germany and Pampas both looked in the same direction.
"That kid should be back by now," Sid said to the wary Pampas.
"I guess he's figured it out too." Pampas thought of the Greed Island game console in that room, his eyes revealing understanding.
Greed Island—they played it back in the day and thought they could beat it.
Later, I discovered that the game was real, and I even went to find the location of Greed Island, only to be kicked out...
After that, another incident occurred in which fifty players died simultaneously.
Pampas and Sid never played Greed Island again, and even sold the game console to someone else.
The game console, which had an initial price of 58 billion, was resold for 10 billion, and they were quite happy at the time.
Later, when Batra spent 17 billion to find a game console, Pampas regretted selling too early; that was 17 billion!
This is the worst deal he has ever made.
For speculators, any loss is considered a loss as long as profits are not maximized.
