Chapter 158: Global Extreme Cold 1
Not only the leaderboard, but also the Super Potential Forum.
Chu Yian was naturally among them, and out of the 100 players with super potential in the game, only 91 were actually in the group.
Compared to the terrifying speed of information refreshing on the World Forum and Nearby Forum, the Super Potential Forum was extremely concise.
[Fried: No one is talking. Let’s introduce ourselves.]
[Rio An: Are the rules-based horror games everyone is playing the same? Mine is Wutong High School.]
[Sicily Milan: Same here. Everyone should be playing the same game.]
…Chu Yian lurked in the World Forum, lurked in the Nearby Forum, and still lurked in the Super Potential Player Forum.
She watched as everyone chatted less due to unfamiliarity, and there wasn’t much useful information there.
The rules-based horror game had only been ongoing for two hours, and the time for players caught in the game and those not playing was still consistent.
The next day in reality, Chu Yian’s satiety and cleanliness dropped to 50%. She spent two points to buy a food package and a cleaning package, and also re-examined her information.
“Super Potential Player: Chu Yian”
“ID: 3210”
“Gender: Female”
“Satiety: 100%”
“Cleanliness: 100%”
“Health: 100%”
“Potential: 9 (Max 10)”
“Points: 456”
Everything was in peak condition.
Chu Yian looked at her accumulated points, feeling a sense of security.
If not for the rules-based horror game, these points would be enough for her to lie around for a long time.
However, without rules-based horror games, there were still other types of games.
Just one day later, the game started again.
[Current Game: Global Extreme Cold]
[Game Content: The global temperature suddenly drops. You need to survive for 15 days in the game and find the survival point: Oasis before the game ends.]
[Starting Funds: 2000 coins]
[Starting Supplies: ID card, 1 set of clothes, communication device]
[Current Total Players: 3417393424]
The game began.
When Chu Yian opened her eyes, a wave of heat washed over her.
The sun hung high in the sky, and the temperature was absurdly hot.
Pedestrians hurried along the main road; no one wanted to stay out in such scorching sun for another moment.
Just as she was about to check the items on her person, a familiar voice came from beside her, “What are you spacing out for? Let’s go.”
Lu Qingyuan?
Chu Yian turned around in surprise, seeing Lu Qingyuan standing next to her in a suit and tie.
In such high temperatures, he was wrapped up so tightly.
Was he not hot?
No, how could Teacher Lu be next to her?
“If you don’t get in the car, you’ll have to walk to the airport yourself.”
Lu Qingyuan’s voice sounded again, and Chu Yian took large strides to get into the black car in front of her.
“Did you bring everything for this meeting?”
“Huh?”
Chu Yian was still pondering the gameplay of this round and didn’t react to his question.
Lu Qingyuan saw her clueless and dazed expression and was about to get angry when the car suddenly braked sharply, followed by a violent collision.
The passenger seat was completely caved in, and shattered glass grazed Chu Yian’s forehead.
Chu Yian felt her vision turn red, and then someone unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled her out of the back seat.
Immediately after, their car began to burn from the smoking front, and within a few seconds, the fire grew larger, followed by several explosions.
In just a dozen seconds, the two cars were reduced to metal frames.
Fortunately, everyone in the cars was rescued, but the balding middle-aged man in the opposite car was very anxious.
Chu Yian vaguely heard the man talking to his companion, keywords: “data” “research data” “extreme weather…”
What a coincidence, running into a researcher of low-temperature weather?
Just as Chu Yian was focusing all her attention on the people nearby, someone handed her a dark handkerchief, “The ambulance will be here soon. Use this to wipe it first.”
The only person injured in this car accident was Chu Yian.
“Thank you.”
Chu Yian took Lu Qingyuan’s handkerchief and said jokingly, “But let’s skip the ambulance. If it comes slowly, the wound will already have scabbed over.”
Lu Qingyuan looked at her in silence, then walked away.
With this incident, attending the meeting was definitely out of the question.
He took out his phone and started making calls, planning to go home after handling the matter.
“Wait!”
Chu Yian called out to Lu Qingyuan.
Starting this round of the game by encountering Lu Qingyuan, she had to take him along to escape.
“Teacher Lu… Boss, don’t go yet!”
After leaving the traffic management bureau, she reached out and grabbed Lu Qingyuan’s sleeve.
She wanted to tell him all the hints given by this round of the game, but then suddenly remembered that Lu Qingyuan wasn’t familiar with her right now.
If she told him now that the weather was about to become cold enough to kill people and they needed to escape quickly, he would definitely think she was crazy.
Difficult.
Should she go solo and let Teacher Lu fend for himself?
In just a few seconds, Chu Yian experienced a moral dilemma.
In the end, she succumbed to their bond.
After all, only Teacher Lu would secretly open a back door for her using his position during a crisis.
Chu Yian could abandon anything else, but she absolutely couldn’t abandon Teacher Lu.
This was called loyalty.
“What is it?”
Chu Yian tried to look pitiful: “Can I follow you? I was just kicked out by my landlord. I originally wanted to follow you to freeload off your Hotel, but now I have nowhere to stay.”
Unfortunately, Lu Qingyuan didn’t fall for it, “You can ask finance for a salary advance.”
“I can’t find a place immediately either.”
“Don’t you have any friends or family?”
“No.”
Chu Yian lied through her teeth, “I only heard that Lu’s Group provides food and accommodation, which is why I came.”
Lu Qingyuan:… “Our company is called Huayuan.”
“What it’s called isn’t important. What’s important is that our company has good benefits and provides food and accommodation, right?”
Chu Yian stuck to Lu Qingyuan like a dog’s plaster, making a perfectly good large company sound like its main business was screwing in screws.
Just then, a new car arrived.
Chu Yian shamelessly got in again, and under Lu Qingyuan’s very reluctant circumstances, they arrived at his villa.
Teacher Lu truly lived up to his reputation as an NPC with multiple jobs, always rich and powerful in every round of the game.
The most ordinary identity he had was probably the psychologist in the last game, but he gave her 100 points, was incredibly loyal, and incredibly useful.
“Teacher Lu, where do I sleep?”
Chu Yian stood in the living room and looked at him.
“You can choose any of the two guest rooms on the first floor.”
Lu Qingyuan replied indifferently.
After speaking, he frowned again, a hint of displeasure in his eyes—
Was he crazy? Letting an unfamiliar subordinate stay overnight at his house.
