Chapter 441 Unplug Your Internet Cable
Soon, Zuo Cheng'an met up with Mo Dou, who was guarding outside, and together with 'Red Eye', they increased their speed to the maximum and went down the stairs.
At full speed, they reached the source of the explosion in less than half a minute.
Upon seeing the red eyes, a staff member immediately stepped forward as if seeing a pillar of support and quickly reported the situation.
It was learned that the explosion points were all concentrated near the hull where the escape pods were located.
The red-eyed man with the three-lobed mouth sneered, "As expected, it was those bedbugs who did this!"
"Don't panic. Set up the cannons and scatter the bait from the cargo hold into the water. You like boating, don't you? Then go row your fill inside the belly of the sea monster!"
Get up where you fell down.
Last time, it stumbled on the escape pod, releasing players who could have stayed out of the instance. How could it not make backup plans this time?
It must be said, power really does nourish people.
Having been in power for only a few days, 'Red Eyes' has already begun to develop leadership qualities.
Zuo Cheng followed closely behind 'Red Eye,' observing the location of the cannons on the cruise ship and the appearance of the so-called bait. Occasionally, he would offer a few perfunctory compliments.

[Holy crap! That really is a turret! I saw it before when I was randomly climbing walls with other players, and people laughed at me for calling it a turret! (Red glow.jpg)]
[Oh? It's not a swimming pool outlet after all.]
If this is a gun emplacement, then where are the shells?
——
Zuo Cheng'an had the same question. He glanced around but didn't see any items labeled as ammunition.
At this moment, 'Red Eyes' took out a handheld game console-like device and casually manipulated it a couple of times.
A monster wearing white overalls and labeled 'infected' took off its clothes, reverting to its original form—covered in spikes and resembling a pangolin—and unhesitatingly crawled into the cannon barrel.

It's Changming Technology again!
Game blocked!? Is this why players can't use the control panel inside dungeons?
Zuo Cheng'an's breathing became erratic for a moment.
After creating props, has 'Changming Technology' grown to the point where it can influence the game?
Is the next step to replace games?
He didn't dwell on it any longer, quickly calming his breath as he stepped forward to strike up a conversation with 'Red Eyes'.
Zuo Cheng'an asked the question knowingly, giving the "red-eyed" one a chance to answer it himself:
"Brother Red-Eye, the bedbugs are almost at the escape pods. Why are we still here? What if they team up again and cause us even more trouble?"
'Red Eyes' was already at the limit of its inflated ego, and was just looking for a place to show off. Upon hearing this, it immediately became overjoyed and muttered to itself like a villain in a children's cartoon:
"Hehe, you don't need to worry about that."
He was practically bursting with rage, his heart pounding with the urge to show off, but 'Red Eyes' kept him in suspense until Zuo Cheng'an pressed him for the second time before he finally spoke up 'slowly'.
Before Zuo Cheng'an could finish his question, "Red Eyes" was already launching into a long, rambling monologue.
"We all know that players are always under our watchful eyes in the dungeon, and we can spot any little tricks they make immediately."
"What's most difficult to guard against is their own 'sound-transmitting conch shell'... no, it's another, more covert means of communication that allows them to communicate anytime, anywhere."
"Using these methods that aren't theirs, the players often work together from the inside to completely outmaneuver us bosses. Countless comrades have lost their lives because of these despicable tactics—sob sob sob."
At this point, whether to be appropriate for the occasion or not, "Red Eyes" even forced out two tears.
The boss cried, so the underlings, whether they were sad or not, had to pretend to cry a couple of times too.
"But!" 'Red Eyes' tone changed, all traces of his previous frustration gone:
"But! Now, the emerging force in Sky Ladder City, 'Eternal Bright Manufacturing,' has solved this problem! The jammer they developed can prevent players from communicating remotely!"
"After several pilot trials in the central three zones, a five-inch-long signal jammer can cover the entire cruise ship! Three signal jammers can cover the entire 'Midnight Zoo'!"
As he spoke, "Red Eyes" gestured a square shape in front of his chest.
"It's truly a great invention that benefits the boss. No wonder it became a highly sought-after guest of the nobles of the Central Three Districts as soon as it appeared."
"I guess mass production has already started by now?"
'well...'
If it weren't for the fact that the jammer was indispensable in its plan, and that 'Red Eye's' brain was filled with the stench of rabbit tomato sauce, it wouldn't have bought it when the price was so inflated.
The words "red-eyed" resonated with many slow-witted "viewers".
——
[Ah—! (In a daze) I remember now, when my VIP membership hadn't expired, I watched live streams on platform two, and similar situations did occur in many high-level dungeons.]
[Tsk, as expected, it's new content only available to VIPs! Just thinking about it makes me realize that with players' communication abilities stripped away, they'll be even easier for bosses to manipulate!]
[Didn't they say 'Red-Eye' monsters are already in mass production? Monsters have cheap labor like NPCs, and with the assembly line running day and night, it should be widespread very soon.]
[That's like inhaling VIP exhaust fumes! The thought that everyone else has seen it all before, yet we treat it like a treasure, makes me furious! (Angry.jpg)]
[Not satisfied? If you're not satisfied, just buy a VIP membership! Oh, I forgot, some underdeveloped players won't pass the application process, hahaha! Just stick to watching your low-level dungeons!]
...
The comments section quickly devolved into a hate-filled online battle.
The match ended with VIP viewers turning off their cameras en masse, driving the opponent out at the source and securing victory.
After the cameras were restarted, the new viewers were much more polite and well-mannered.
And if you don't understand something, just ask.
——Yo ho? Isn't this 'Red Eye'? It's risen again after just a few days?]
