Chapter 188 Forced To End

Ming wielded his chainsaw, starting to clear the zombies around him. He was initially relieved that he hadn't been assigned to a copy upgraded after the destruction of a region.

However, he never expected that there would be exclamation marks in a  copy! Of course, it was not Foodie's fault. It accidentally ran into it while playing wildly, which could be forgiven. If it were fortunate enough to return home, perhaps Ming could consider starving Foodie for three days as punishment.

[Your Foodie is very excited because it just hit a red exclamation mark with a golden border. The scattered starlight after the explosion, like drifting fireworks, looked beautiful to Foodie. If it encounters one again, it will definitely hit it Again.]

[Your Da Vinci just arrived on the second floor and saw the light fireworks. It wondered why it didn't encounter such things. It felt unfair.]

[Your Da Vinci found the elegant zombie and used its collection ability on it, collecting successfully. Da Vinci thought this zombie was even better than Alice. Frogs would drool just looking at it. Da Vinci believed that if Ming saw it, he would be moved to tears.]

"…"

Ming, holding his chainsaw, frantically cut down the surrounding zombies. Any zombies with a bit of awareness in the stadium would choose to flee.

Not a single breathing zombie was left in the passing of the chainsaw. Ming's goal was simple: first, clean up these ordinary zombies, then defeat the copy's boss as quickly as possible, and finally find Foodie to trigger the hidden quest.

Finally, Ming rushed to the arena. At this time, all the zombies in the audience seats were attracted by the noise Foodie made and gathered together. It had finally done something good.

"Hey, where's Da Vinci? That guy wouldn't have gone looking for exclamation marks too, would he?"

Ten minutes later, the zombies inside the venue were basically cleaned up.

"Let's deal with the nightmare-level hidden task first." Ming decided not to search for the BOSS anymore. He still didn't know what the hidden task was, and the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Ding~  Ming suddenly thought that interfering with the frog's journey could cause some negative effects. So, what if he forcibly ended Foodie's journey? Would that eliminate the hidden task?

As soon as the thought came, Ming acted. He glanced at Foodie's location, ran over to grab Foodie, stuffed a fish into its mouth, and forcibly ended its journey.

[Your Foodie, with a fish in its mouth, wondered why you suddenly came to feed it when it's not mealtime yet.]

[Foodie understood. It felt that you were worried about its fatigue and decided not to work anymore, temporarily shutting down its travel backpack for 24 hours.]

[Before closing the backpack, Foodie automatically transferred the collected items to your warehouse, as well as the nightmare-level hidden task... Foodie looked at you, thinking this was what it was supposed to do...]

"…"

Well, it turned out that the negative effect of interrupting the journey was a temporary backpack shutdown! And it didn't make the hidden task disappear, just wishful thinking on Ming's part.

Stupidity +1.

[Global Channel Broadcast... cough, let my laugh for a moment...]

[...]

"Is this rule sick?!"

"I was sleeping, and suddenly I was woken up."

"Did the rule encounter a loophole, and the apocalypse has ended?"ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

"Maybe the rule encountered something that made it happy."

"…"

The world chat channel began various speculations, among which one survivor gave a very reasonable explanation:

"According to the frequency of rule appearances in Chapter Three, there is a 25% chance that it announces the extinction of an individual area, upgrading it to a replica, a 50% chance it announces someone achieving a five-star clearance in their personal replica, 24% chance it's related to updating new content in Chapter Three, and the remaining 1% chance is related to personal achievements or hidden tasks."

"However, the way global broadcasts are carried out in the first three situations is relatively serious, so there is a high probability that this time it's about personal achievements or hidden tasks."

"And if it's a hidden task, there is a 99% chance it's related to Ming. So, the chance of his name appearing later should be 100%."

"…"

This guy's analysis was very well thought out and His nickname was:[Just a bystander who likes analyzing problems]. Well, this nickname suited his temperament perfectly, no wonder there was no duplicate.

[Global Channel Broadcast, in order to provide an auditory treat for everyone, the rule has chosen a charming, mature female voice... adjusting the audio... adjustment complete... official broadcast]

[Congratulations to our lucky one, Ming, for being the first to accept a nightmare-level hidden task!]

[This time, the progress of his hidden task will be broadcast in text form throughout the process. Please maintain a learning attitude and learn from him]

[Text broadcast begins]

[Ming is checking the content of the hidden task. The task content will be synchronized and made public as he reads it]

[Ming is cursing the rules. The rules have chosen to change his cursing words into ****]

[Ming is watching the broadcast, cursing again. Please do not learn from his uncivilized behavior]

"…"

"The spectacle of a lifetime!"

"Ming's live demonstration of how to complete a nightmare-level hidden task!"

"I want to open a high-stakes gambling round, anyone interested?"

At this moment, people in copy, regional maps, and various regions are all focused on the text on the screen in front of them.

In Zone 109, most people gathered in the well city square, sitting or standing in the back, holding their breath and staring intently at the text on the screen, while also taking out snacks, colas, and mineral water.

Alan raises a coconut in his copy, toasting to Ming, "Keep it up – hope you have the same good luck as my big brother!"

Mike, in his personal copy, throws a pill at the copy's boss. The boss chooses a white pill and begins to undress.

Mike, "This hallucination is quite interesting~" He casually swings his knife, "but I'm really not gay, I have no interest in men's bodies, but your muscles do look pretty good, haha."
