Chapter 158 National Destiny: The Evil Cultivator’s Playground 46
As the Korean players cheered, everyone gathered around, their eyes focused on the admission ticket that was emitting a faint glow. Zhu Lili and Qian Zhe couldn't help but come forward curiously, wanting to find out what was going on.
The leader of the Ugly Country, a burly, stern-faced soldier, was holding the admission ticket at the moment, with a shrewd light in his eyes. He glanced at the people around him, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Everyone, did you see this? This is our admission ticket." He held up the admission ticket and said loudly, "As long as we have ghost coins, we can exchange them for admission tickets from these ghosts."
The people around him all showed envy and desire when they heard this. Some of them also had ghost coins on them, but they were afraid to try before. Now that they saw the Korean players successfully exchanged for the tickets, the fear in their hearts also dissipated.
However, the leader of the Ugly Country did not give up. He glanced at the people around him, especially the players from small countries, and a greedy light flashed in his eyes.
"Everyone, we have a limited number of ghost coins, and we can only buy one admission ticket." He said in a deep voice, "However, we don't know whether we will need to spend ghost coins after entering the amusement park. Therefore, I have thought of a way to ensure that we all have enough ghost coins to deal with future situations."
Having said this, he paused and swept his eyes over everyone. Those who were swept by his eyes felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts.
"My idea is that we can borrow some Ghost Coins from players in these small countries." He continued, "They must have some remaining Ghost Coins, and lending them to us won't cause them too much loss."
After saying this, he signaled several of his companions to walk towards the players from the small countries. They walked up to the players aggressively, glaring at them fiercely, as if they were ready to attack at any time.
"Hand over your ghost coins quickly!" A companion of the Ugly Country leader shouted loudly, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude!"
Seeing this, the players from the small countries showed horrified expressions. They knew they could not compete with the players from the big countries, so they could only hand over the ghost coins obediently.
Suddenly, there were cries and pleas for mercy at the entrance of the amusement park. However, the leader of the Ugly Country and his companions didn't care at all. They were collecting ghost coins while laughing smugly.
The cheers of the Korean players gradually died down, but the atmosphere in the amusement park became more tense. The players from the small countries were already nervous, and now they were like frightened birds, fearing that they would be the next target of plunder.
At the signal from Lu Bing, the leader of the Ugly Country, his companions approached the players from the small countries like wolves and tigers. Their eyes were full of greed and ferocity, as if they wanted to plunder all the ghost coins from these players.
"Stop! You can't do this!" A thin player suddenly shouted. He came from a little-known country, but at this moment he bravely stood up to resist. He tightly protected his pocket, with a determined light in his eyes.
"Oh? Are there still people who are not afraid of death?" Lu Bing looked at him coldly, with a mocking smile on his face. He waved his hand, signaling his companions to stop their actions for the time being.
"Boy, do you know who you are talking to?" Lu Bing walked up to the skinny player and looked down at him. "Do you think you can stop us?"
"I... I can't just stand by and watch you bully me!" The skinny player's voice was trembling, but his eyes were extremely firm, "We have our dignity too!"
"Dignity?" Lu Bing seemed to have heard something funny, and he laughed out loud, "How much is dignity worth here? Boy, you'd better hand over the ghost coins obediently, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"
Seeing this, the other small country players all lowered their heads. Although they were unwilling in their hearts, they also knew that resistance was futile. However, at this moment, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Stop!"
Everyone looked up and saw a tall player stepping forward. It was Liu Lei. He looked at Lu Bing and the others with a firm gaze, emitting a righteous aura.
"You are going too far in bullying people like this!" Liu Lei shouted, "These ghost coins were earned by them with great effort. Why do you want to take them away?"
Lu Bing was so angry at Liu Lei's words that his face turned blue. He glared at Liu Lei and said in a deep voice: "Boy, do you know who you are talking to? We are from the Ugly Country!"
"So what if they are from Ugly Country?" Liu Lei met Lu Bing's gaze without fear. "Does that mean you can just bully people at will?"
"Humph!" Lu Bing snorted coldly, "Kid, who do you think you are? How dare you challenge us here? I tell you, if you know what's good for you, get out of here right away, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Liu Lei was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhu Lili. She shook her head gently, signaling Liu Lei not to be impulsive and that it was not appropriate to cause turmoil at this time.
She had already observed that the fog in the distance was gradually approaching them. If they didn't enter the amusement park, they didn't know what would happen when the fog got closer.
After being stopped, Liu Lei knew that it was not appropriate to have a conflict with them at this time, but he made up his mind that he would find a time to teach them a lesson after entering the amusement park.
As Liu Lei remained silent, the players from the Ugly Country became more and more proud. Lu Bing sneered and looked at Liu Lei with disdain, as if he was looking at an insignificant clown. He turned around and waved to his brothers, signaling them to continue.
"Since this young brother from Xia country is so sensible, we won't be polite." Lu Bing said lightly, his words full of contempt.
After receiving the order, his subordinates immediately began to plunder players from the surrounding small countries. For a while, the entrance of the amusement park was once again filled with cries and pleas for mercy, but this time, no one stood up to resist.
The audience in the live broadcast room witnessed all of this and posted comments to complain about the ugly Chinese people's behavior.
"This ugly Chinese is really too much! How can other players play after taking those ghost coins?"
"That's right! It's simply robbery!"
"Those players from small countries are so pitiful. Without any evasion, how can they enter the amusement park?"
The audience of Xia country was filled with righteous indignation, and they all stood up for the players of those small countries. However, the audience of Ugly country disagreed. They felt that their players did nothing wrong, and they all praised them for their wit, and retorted that the audience of Xia country was too chaste.
Audiences from both countries started to curse each other crazily in the barrage, and the scene was very chaotic for a while. However, in this farce, Liu Lei, Zhu Lili and others remained calm. They knew that the most important thing at this time was to protect their own interests, rather than getting involved in this endless quarrel.
After a busy search, the Ugly Country contestants finally collected enough ghost coins. They walked triumphantly to the ticket office with the ghost coins to exchange for admission tickets.
The players from the small countries who were plundered all looked ashen. They looked at the few ghost coins in their hands and were filled with despair.
