Chapter 148: Wutong High School 7
The rules in the student handbook hadn’t finished even by the 11th rule, and Chu Yian was about to continue reading when Bai Sinian clung to her like a piece of plaster.
“Little Chu Chu…”
“Scram.”
Chu Yian finally couldn’t help but curse, drawing the attention of the other players walking towards them.
“Their relationship doesn’t seem very good.”
Zhang Guodong said to the person next to him, holding the student handbook in his hand.
Gao Peng, however, didn’t agree. “It’s probably just a young couple having a spat. I live near the university town, and young people their age all date like this.”
But these were all minor matters.
The most important thing right now was the game.
“Friends, shall we team up?” Gao Peng, with the people from their train car, gathered around Chu Yian and Bai Sinian, extending an invitation to form an alliance.
“I’m fine with anything.”
Bai Sinian looked at Chu Yian, saying somewhat shamelessly, “Anyway, I’m going to be with Little Chu Chu.”
Chu Yian took a deep breath but still couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at him. “Are you crazy? Have you forgotten how you treated me in the Nuclear Blast game?”
She wanted to say more, but then she suddenly remembered a manipulative woman’s pitiful act on the forum previously and closed her mouth again, worried about exposing her identity.
But then, she suddenly felt that she couldn’t let him keep disgusting her like this.
“Fine, for the sake of clearing this round, I can temporarily forgive Brother Bai.”
Chu Yian forced a fake smile, “After all, Brother Bai clears every game, so following Brother Bai means there’s soup to drink.”
Clears every game?!
Hearing Chu Yian’s introduction, the six players who came to form an alliance instantly widened their eyes. After all, Gao Peng clearing four rounds was already a rare expert; Bai Sinian being able to clear all games meant he was a big shot among big shots.
However, the information Chu Yian revealed also made people think of other aspects—
Players with super high potential.
Such a powerful big shot, could he be that super high potential player who caused them to be dragged into the game? Gao Peng secretly glanced at him; this man indeed had an aura that suggested he was not to be trifled with.
Bai Sinian’s expression didn’t change; he still smiled at her. “Since Little Chu Chu wants to join you all, then everyone should just stick together.”
He spread his hands and casually asked, “You all should have gotten the mandatory handbook, right?”
“Yes.”
Gao Peng nodded. “After we took ours, there were only six handbooks left.”
Then he subtly gestured, telling them to look towards the shade of the trees to the left of the school gate. “See the people standing over there? They should also be players, and they arrived before us.”
Six or seven people were also standing in the shade of the trees, two of whom were female, and the rest were male.
They had also formed an alliance, similar to the situation here.
The only regret was that the game didn’t tell them at the very beginning how many players were pulled into the game in total, so they couldn’t determine how many players were lone wolves besides those openly visible.
Judging by the current situation, forming an alliance was still better than being a lone wolf.
At least with more people, even if someone wanted to snatch a student handbook, they would have to weigh their options.
There was still over half an hour left, and people continued to emerge from the subway station intermittently.
Some were alone, others came in groups of three or four. Until the very last student handbook was taken, the atmosphere outside the school gate became solidified.
“We all came together, why do you get the student handbook?”
“There’s only one left, and it’s first come, first served.”
“You motherfucker!”
The three-person team who got the last student handbook was almost about to fight. No one would yield on the ownership of this one handbook until another team appeared from behind. Since the table was empty, they set their sights on the student handbook the three were arguing over.
Seeing this, the three stopped arguing.
They collectively held the handbook, walked aside, and began to read its contents.
With only 10 minutes left until 9 PM, most people had arrived. Chu Yian looked at the people around her; there were probably:
A 6-person team who arrived before them;
A 4-person squad;
A 2-person partnership;
These were all players with student handbooks.
Additionally, there was the 3-person squad from just now, who only got one student handbook; there were also two later 2-person squads, and two lone wolves.
These were the people who did not get student handbooks, which meant they were all potential dangers.
Therefore, the players with student handbooks looked at those without them with sharper eyes.
Just as they thought everyone had arrived and they could leave, a disheveled figure ran from a distance.
“Dai Licheng!”
Gao Peng exclaimed, and everyone looked towards the running person.
“Luckily I made it.”
Dai Licheng was covered in sweat, and a joyful expression appeared on his face when he saw Gao Peng. Gao Peng’s face, however, changed from joy to worry, then gradually became hard to describe.
“Old Dai, there are no more student handbooks,” Gao Peng said hesitantly.
It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of getting an extra one for Dai Licheng, but how could the game allow players to exploit such loopholes? Everyone could only receive one student handbook from the volunteer; they couldn’t take extra or on behalf of someone else.
“It’s fine, don’t you still have yours? Just tell me the rules,” Dai Licheng said.
He hadn’t seen the content, so he naturally didn’t know how important the student handbook was.
Gao Peng hesitated, then patted his shoulder. “You follow us for now. We’ll figure out the later things then.”
Saying that, he looked at the other seven people and guaranteed in advance, “We won’t snatch our teammate’s student handbook, please rest assured.”
Everyone who had read the handbook knew that it was essential for certain specific rules. However, those without the handbook, due to a lack of information, simply thought that the handbook only contained rules.
At the entrance, everyone was more or less at peace.
“Brother, what did you encounter after getting off the train?”
Zhang Guodong leaned towards Dai Licheng and asked.
Before he came, he also had two good brothers in a three-person group; Li Ming was already dead, and Wang Xianyou had gotten off the train much earlier. Now that Dai Licheng had safely arrived at the school, it made him Can’t help it ask about Wang Xianyou’s whereabouts.
“My train ticket turned red at the time, so I got off the train according to the rules on the paper. I walked in the dark for a long time before reaching the platform, then, as required by the rules, I went to a staff member to re-process a green train ticket. After waiting at the platform for a while, the subway arrived, and I took it all the way to the school.”
Dai Licheng finished recounting his experience in two or three sentences, which stunned Zhang Guodong.
“That simple?”
“Yes, it was.”
He nodded, then looked around Zhang Guodong. “Where’s your other companion?”
“He died.”
Zhang Guodong’s expression was a bit downcast, and he looked towards the subway station exit several times.
Chu Yian was also looking at the subway station exit, guessing if any players would appear in the last few minutes, when Bai Sinian’s voice sounded in her ear, “Does Little Chu Chu think he’s telling the truth or a lie?”
