Chapter 234: Strange Arrival 1
Chu Yian looked at the message he sent and didn’t beat around the bush with him. “I came to find you because I want to send you an invitation. Do you want to team up?”
Team up?
No way, he didn’t misread it, did he?
Zhu Tianguang looked at the message Chu Yian sent and couldn’t help but rub his eyes hard.
A big shot, ranked sixth on the Super Potential Value Leaderboard, actually invited him to team up! This was a big shot who stood out among billions of players!
Zhu Tianguang quickly typed out the word “willing,” afraid that Chu Yian would leave.
On the other side,
Chu Yian felt slightly relieved looking at Zhu Tianguang’s message. Given Zhu Shen’s special ability, many people would definitely be scrambling to team up with him.
She had thought Zhu Shen had already joined some small group.
Zhu Tianguang was already envisioning the awesome scene of him and the big shot joining forces, dominating the game. But no matter how beautiful the imagination, a very cruel problem lay before them.
“Zhu Tianguang: Big Chu, how can we ensure we meet up after entering the game?”
That’s right, how could they ensure they could meet up in the game?
Make a call?
The phone numbers in the game were random.
If they could really contact each other via phone numbers, most players wouldn’t be fighting alone. Liu Wen’s anchor ability was truly precious, making people want to snatch him from Jie Yan’s hands.
However, whether he could be snatched was another matter; poaching was an unethical act.
Chu Yian stroked her chin. “Zhu Shen, go to the world channel and post a buying message. The main content is to buy items that can bind partners before the game; the price is negotiable.”
She suddenly thought that with so many people in the world, there might be game items with duplicate functions.
Sure enough.
After Zhu Shen posted multiple buying messages, someone quickly came forward.
After Zhu Shen screened reliable players, he gave them Chu Yian’s ID, asking them to add her as a friend. Chu Yian’s four-digit ID made the originally half-believing players trust her a bit more.
There were a total of 6 players.
However, these 6 players were not all selling cooperative items.
“Friend 6557372: Big shot, do you want a kettle? It’s very useful, doesn’t even need electricity, a particularly good game item in cold weather. Only 10 points to take home.”
“Friend 39343121: Big shot, I’m sorry, my health value is too low, I really can’t do it. I have a baseball bat here, although it’s not worth much, can I borrow 20 points from you? When I’m better and earn points, I’ll return 100! Please, good people live a safe life, please help me…” Chu Yian looked at the bizarre situation where everything was being sold and deleted all four unreliable players from her friends list.
She asked the remaining two players for detailed usage, limitations, and prices of their items.
The items of the two players were similar to Liu Wen’s, but their items had much greater limitations than Liu Wen’s.
For example, an alliance could only be between two people at a time.
Another example was that an alliance could only make them land in the same city in the game and have 4 hours of mental communication time. However, four hours was enough for them to meet up.
“Friend 3210: Don’t be so greedy, friend. These items can only be used once in my hand, and you know that in one round of the game, most of the time you can only get 5 points. If you sell it too expensively, I won’t be able to recover my costs…” “Friend 3210: I’ll open the trading mall, so you’ll have to reduce the price a bit more.”
After some bargaining, she successfully bought two disposable excellent alliance items from the two players for 10 points and 15 points respectively.
Remaining points: 729
Since the game introduced the classification of Type I and Type II items, the price of game items plummeted.
Including handling fees, a total of 35 points were used to buy two items, and Chu Yian felt it was still very worthwhile.
Real World, Day Two.
The game was about to begin.
Before the game started, Jie Yan came to see her again.
“Little Chu, have you made up your mind?”
“Brother Jie, I am very grateful for your care, but perhaps we are more suited to be friends than teammates.”
She was actually rejected.
Chu Yian’s attitude made him very helpless.
But for Jie Yan to truly give up Chu Yian, he couldn’t let go, both personally and professionally.
The game was about to begin, and the special notification sound of the anchor still rang, but this time, Chu Yian chose not to accept it.
She used the alliance item she had just bought—the cheaper one.
“This Round’s Game: The Arrival of the Bizarre”
“Game Content: The Red Moon has arrived, and some bizarre entities that should have disappeared have suddenly appeared in the world. Carefully discern the bizarre entities hidden in every corner and ignore their existence. When they discover that you can see them, you will be hunted by them until death.
Players only need to survive 10 days in the game to clear the round.”
“Starting funds: 2000 coins”
“Starting materials: ID card, 1 set of clothes, communication device”
“Current total players: 1,993,842,499”
The prompt for this round of the game gave a creepy feeling.
Just as Chu Yian thought this, the black mist in front of her had dispersed, and she was now in an ancient, elegant temple. The golden temple roof glowed with sacred light under the sun, as if it could dispel the surrounding gloom.
She thought of the game name “The Arrival of the Bizarre” she had just seen, and inexplicably felt a chill in her heart.
Chu Yian looked at the god statue in the main hall and couldn’t help but bow. “I pray to the immortals to bless me for a smooth game this round.”
After she bowed to the god statue, she looked up at the sculpture of the god statue.
Incense slowly rose from the censer in front, and the full view of the god statue was faintly visible in the incense. Chu Yian suddenly noticed that the solemn expression of the god statue became strange in the incense, and its compassionate eyes turned sinister. Yet, the people around her were completely unaware, devoutly worshipping.
A sudden chill ran through her body.
Damn it!
Chu Yian felt something was wrong and turned to leave.
Not far away, a person dressed in black cloth was selling things, carrying a basket, at the entrance. He waved to everyone who passed through the gate, hawking the contents of his basket, “Little sister, buy an amulet, it will bless you with a safe life.”
Chu Yian hesitated for a moment regarding this kind of amulet and walked towards him.
Just as she was about to ask what the item was mainly used for, her gaze suddenly caught sight of the black-clothed man’s feet—
This black-clothed man, he had no shadow!
Chu Yian felt her body, which hadn’t warmed up, suddenly plunge into an ice cellar.
At this moment, the black-clothed man, seeing Chu Yian walking towards him, proactively approached her and held the basket in front of her. “Little sister, come and see, I have all kinds of amulets here. Hurry and buy one, the immortals will bless you with peace and safety!”
