Chapter 106: Black Mist – Reality
“Player Chu Yian, hello. It has been detected that you have died in the current game. This round of the game has failed.”
“In 3 seconds, you will leave this round of the game. Please prepare yourself.”
The cold game announcement sounded, and Chu Yian was abruptly ejected from the game.
“Player: Chu Yian”
“ID: 3210”
“Gender: Female”
“Satiety: 80%”
“Cleanliness: 80%”
“Health: 100%”
“Potential: 5 (Max 10)”
“Points: 353”
She hadn’t earned a single point in this round, and her potential had dropped directly from 7 to 5. But that wasn’t the most infuriating part; the most infuriating part was being killed by her own teammate at the last moment.
Bai Sinian had given no warning; a single iron peanut had directly sent her off.
Chu Yian felt like her mind was about to explode at this moment, a belly full of rage, “…Damn it!”
She had never disliked someone this much.
She stomped her feet hard in the two-cubic-meter space, venting her anger. After calming down, she re-evaluated. Besides the problem with Bai Sinian, that psychopath, she also had issues.
She trusted others too easily.
Because they had fought side-by-side and Bai Sinian had even saved her, she thought their past grievances were all cleared. So, she let down her guard, allowing him to succeed so easily.
She was still too naive.
Bai Sinian had taught her a lesson.
She took two deep breaths to calm herself. A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years. The loss she suffered today, she would surely return someday.
As for now… sleep!
The physically and mentally exhausted Chu Yian collapsed onto the sofa, sprawling on the bed.
When she woke up, the game hadn’t ended yet, but the forum was lively. Chu Yian checked both the World Channel and the Area Channel. It seemed someone on the Area Channel had encountered a similar misfortune to hers.
[Area 20109] : This round of the game was really unlucky. I met two immoral players.”
[Area 4849294934] : A big shot has appeared! What happened?”
[Area 12384909] : Yes, what happened, big shot?”
The ID 20109 was the lowest ID number in the Area forum. The smaller the ID, the more of a big shot they were. People were often more enthusiastic towards experts.
[Area 20109] : Nothing much, just ran into two black-hearted players. They kept saying we were a team, but then they tricked me into giving them all my hoarded items and dumped me on the road.”
[Area 3482903483] : A big shot actually got tricked? These two players are truly evil.”
[Area 2893134] : Do they know they tricked a big shot?”
[Area 5948394] : We’re not just fighting the game, we also have to fight our fellow players… Players are not to be trusted.”
Chu Yian felt a deep resonance; she truly had been taught a lesson.
[Friend 2991876542] : Not entirely, right? NPCs are good and bad, and players are also good and bad. Actually, I think it mainly depends on luck.”
[Friend 2991876542] : For example, me. I met a big shot and earned 100 points. During the point exchange before the game started, I found a big shot, and she not only helped me save a lot of points, but I also indirectly cleared this nuclear explosion round of the game thanks to her help.”
Seeing the words “Friend” at the beginning, she knew it was You Che.
His previous flaunting had caused public outrage, and he clearly hadn’t learned his lesson, now starting to show off again. Little did he know that his “big shot” had become a huge victim in this round of the game.
However, You Che was already unpopular in the Area forum; everyone directly ignored his bragging.
[Area 9893292] : Big shot, could you please tell us the details of what happened so we can avoid similar pitfalls?”
[Area 293138494] : Yes, please, tell us how to avoid it. Even a big shot like you suffered a loss from such people. Please expose the details so we can be on guard in the future… Amidst a chorus of calls, the five-digit expert sent another message.
[Area 20109] : There are so many people in the game world, it’s very unlikely you’ll run into them. Those two bastards used a car as a premise, deliberately attracting me to join their camp, and had me take them to the factory where I stockpiled items. As soon as we finished moving the items, they abandoned me on the road, leaving me to die of radiation sickness.”
Chu Yian was originally just curious about this player who suffered the same tragic fate as herself, but after seeing his description, she suddenly felt a hint of familiarity.
[Area 1364893930] : This is too despicable.”
[Area 38492341] : If I had been there at the time, I definitely wouldn’t have been so agreeable. Since they broke their promise first, I would definitely fight them to the death, even if it meant mutual destruction.”
[Area 20109] : These two are not ordinary players. They brought five NPCs, and both of them had guns. The two were a man and a woman, very cautious, never even revealing their full names, only referring to each other as Little Chu and Brother Bai. One of them also had a pure gold storage box item for carrying supplies.”
The pronunciation of “Chu” is the same as “Chu”;
In the game, she had always called that psychopath Bai Sinian “Brother Bai”;
Also, a 7-person team, 5 NPCs, finding supplies in a factory, and kicking her out of the car halfway through;
And a pure gold storage item… Even if it were a coincidence, it couldn’t be this many coincidences.
This player with ID 20109—
Holy crap?
Chu Yian stared at the person’s detailed description, her eyes widening instantly.
Was this player with ID 20109 Murong Er?
[Area 20109] : All in all, these two people are very dangerous. I suggest that if you encounter couples or people who feel unreliable emotionally, stay as far away from them as possible. During the team-up, the man kept harassing me; he was truly shameless and disgusting.”
Huh?
What he said.
Chu Yian looked at the description from ID 20109 and suddenly doubted that this person might not be Murong Er.
[Area 389492943] : Oh my god, this person is too shameless.”
[Area 1238930204] : Maybe it’s because the big shot is too good-looking, the man was lustful, and the female player was jealous because of it.”
[Area 20109] : Who knows?”
It… shouldn’t be Murong Er, right?
Chu Yian was no longer certain.
At this moment, You Che’s private message came through.
[Friend 2991876542] : Big Chu, Big Chu, did you encounter a female player in the last round of the game? I saw a female player in my Area forum group talking about her experiences in the last game, and the person mentioned sounds a lot like you.”
Damn it, it was 99% Murong Er.
Even You Che could tell, so Chu Yian felt she couldn’t deceive herself anymore.
[In the last round of the game, I did indeed encounter a green tea female player and an idiotic male player. What’s wrong?] “
