Wen Xishu could tell that Charles was very pleased.
At the same time, Wen Xishu also caught onto some critical information.
The big shots favored him, believing he was a genuine zombie. Evidently, the big shots weren’t foolish; they knew many zombies were impersonated by humans.
Wen Xishu said:
"My dear boss, you truly understand me. I do indeed like women and food. However, I have a proposal. Everyone believes I am a zombie, so why not dress up an actual zombie to look like me in the next round?"
Charles was stunned at first, then delighted:
"You mean..."
Wen Xishu said:
"A make-up artist can create millions of zombie looks for me. I don’t want to limit myself to portraying just one zombie. Surely you don’t think that’s the extent of my capabilities, do you?"
"The audience can’t tell whether the zombie I portray is real or fake."
"So why should I be confined to one identity? I can be any zombie, as long as our casino needs it, we can deceive everyone!"
Charles hadn’t expected anyone to be so insightful.
Simultaneously, he hadn’t anticipated being so captivated by the future vision painted by a mere "zombie" under his command.
Indeed, if Number 245 could play any zombie, then he would essentially control the game.
Although the game was already under his manipulation, the increasingly fabricated nature of it made many wealthy individuals feel it had lost its meaning.
They sought novelty, unpredictability. Not zombies that were obviously impersonated by humans.
Other human-portrayed zombies either had unconvincing physical movements or displayed fear and desperation.
Unlike Number 245, who was optimistic, energetic, and mimicked zombies perfectly.
Charles felt that Number 245 was practically his personal money tree. The most crucial aspect was that Number 245 had his own desires and weaknesses.
That is, he made no secret of his fondness for women and food. As long as sufficient "goods" were provided, Number 245 would remain loyal.
...
...
The third day of the game.
Wen Xishu, portraying Cindis, once again kicked his opponent’s head and splattered it. But this time, no parasites jumped out, only dark red blood.
It was a human’s head.
Before Wen Xishu’s foot reached the opponent’s head, he even saw the bullet comments.
The bullet comments were filled with endless regret, about an arrogant person who rebelled against the camp leader’s control and thus betrayed the camp.
Wen Xishu wasn’t influenced by this story; he twisted the opponent’s arm as usual.
The difference was, Wen Xishu took it further. Besides breaking the arm, he started to gnaw on the opponent.
But Charles Yang quickly cut off the live broadcast.
Thus, everyone believed that Wen Xishu playing Cindis was a true zombie.
Afterwards, Wen Xishu’s performance received praise from Charles.
Wen Xishu expressed that he needed a luxurious waterbed, capable of having fun with ten women at once.
Charles admired Wen Xishu’s unabashed desire. By having desires, Wen Xishu could be better controlled.
Following the second performance, a third one quickly followed.
In the third performance, Wen Xishu portrayed another zombie.
Everything was just as he initially designed; the zombie competing with him was made up to look like the product code-named "Cindis."
An elaborate deception began.
It could be said that after the first two performances, most of the wealthy individuals had come to trust Cindis deeply.
They didn’t believe any human could defeat a zombie as strong as Cindis.
So, the majority of the big shots bet on Cindis to win.
The wealthy sought novelty, while Charles, also a wealthy individual, sought the pleasure of manipulation.
The thrill of deceiving everyone.
Wen Xishu’s third performance began.
The commentator started with an enthusiastic introduction:
"This time, challenging the newcomer king Cindis is another zombie with powerful leg strength. Capturing it took a lot of effort!"
"Its name is Boyka, a prison fighter from Dragon City. But his most famous identity is that of a football player. His best skill on the field is ending other players’ careers with shark-like sharp tackles. He appeared in three games and crippled two world-class stars, earning a lifetime ban and getting sentenced. In prison, he dominated all the fighting events with his powerful legs."
"However, he couldn’t escape being bitten to death and turning into a zombie. Now, let’s see who the true leg king of the zombie world is!"
People didn’t think this zombie seemed scarier than Cindis with arms all over his waist.
But the match progressed unexpectedly fast—
This battle had almost no suspense; Wen Xishu playing Boyka swiftly disabled the false Cindis with a sweeping kick.
Bones shattered, flesh ruptured, parasites scattered everywhere. The expected clash never happened.
The outcome was determined at the start, leaving all the viewers momentarily stunned due to the quick ending.
However, this also created an unusual sense of realism.
Wen Xishu glanced at the wriggling parasites underfoot, feeling no ripples inside. His armor could block these parasites. Now, in Charles’s eyes, Number 245 was the ultimate money tree among money trees.
