Chapter 213: The Rose Factory

Bai Liu did not linger long, soon he wrapped Tavel's body as if nothing had happened and placed it on the trolley, turned to the group behind him, with that false smile on his face that was immediately apparent to both Mu Sicheng, Muke, and Liu Jiayi Tang Erda, and then whispered.

"Now, let's overthrow this sinful rose factory."

--------

Games hall, graveyard bounce area.

No matter how hard Muke and the others tried to hold on, how hard they tried to pull in passing spectators and beg them to give Bai Liu a like or a favorite, Bai Liu's little TV inevitably fell into the graveyard bouncing area under the high-handed siege of foreign guilds.

Both Muke, who was born into a privileged family, and Mu Sicheng, who had never looked down since he was a child or even in the game, now gave up their pride and face, one by one, to pull in the audience and help Bai Liu stall for time.

Both men breathed a weary sigh of relief to see the game finally come to an end on Bai Liu's little TV.

--This tug-of-war, against an opponent like the Kings Guild, was too much for them to handle.

But for now, they could allow Bai Liu to fall out of the cell once, then pay the ransom and get Bai Liu out, which should be enough time for Bai Liu to get through.

"...... Empress, at this rate, Bai Liu might actually make it through ......" someone whispered with a grimace attached to the Empress's shoulder. "It's support season, two sieges and no block, this is ...... too much of a loss of face, our guild's battle support will be affected ......"

"It's not going to fail." Hearts folded his arms and swept his eyes unhurriedly up to Bai Liu's small television, "Soon this siege will be over."

Hearts The man next to him froze.

Soon someone, unable to hide the excitement on his face, jogged over and stopped in front of Hearts and curtsied respectfully before looking up and saying, "Empress! Our team's [Shield] has just cleared the game and is out of the pool! Should I send him over now?"

Hearts nodded slightly, "Let him come."

The previously worried member of the team suddenly changed his face, glancing incredulously at Hearts before approaching the team member who had come to report the news and asking again, with obvious joy on his face, "Is it an official member of the team, [Shield] coming over?"

This player couldn't hide the leap of joy on his face and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! They're heading this way as soon as they get out of the game pool! We're on our way!"

"When [Shield] comes over, this siege will be over immediately!"

Mu Sicheng frowned at the King's Guild members who were starting to stir in the small TV area, "What are they shouting about? Are they going crazy because they can't stop Bai Liu?"

"I don't think so." Muke had a vague sense of foreboding, "...... They're all laughing."

Not expecting the group of King's Guild members to tell them what the hell they were laughing at, Muke quickly opened the system panel and opened the forum, scouring it rapidly for the information he wanted -

--Soon a red-fluttering post caught his attention.

--[The King's Guild's (Shield) have left the pool and seem to be joining the siege, Hearts have gone too far this time!

"What is ...... [shield]?" Muke asked rhetorically with a frown.

Mu Sicheng also opened the forum and his face fell as soon as he saw the title, explaining to Muke, a newcomer, in a very quick voice, "It's a title in the team."

"The regular functional divisions of the league's five-man teams are [Attack], [Shield], [Roving], [Control] and [Tactician]."

"I haven't seen the King's Guild play, but I've heard that their team is a double [control] team with two [control] players who are both extremely good, one of the [control] players is Hearts and the other this year is said to be Little Witch."

"Good [offensive] players are hard to find, Hearts have not been able to find the right rotation, the quality of [offensive] players in their squad is poor -"

Mu Sicheng raised his eyes, which were streaked with gloom: "- but to make up for it, this battle group is extremely strong [in shields]."

A heavy rocking of feet came from the distance, and Muke turned to look, his face and breath stopping slightly for a moment -

A huge, Muke towering figure appears, unable to see the top of his head, wearing heavy brass armour on his hands and feet and several spiked anklets around his wrist bones, which clash with each other as he walks, ringing as if the dimensional space cut by the system is shaking with him.

The man had extremely long arms and legs, and swatted away the spectators and crowds that tried to get in his way as easily and simply as if they were mole crickets, or small grasses overgrown on a country road, with no one in the way at all.

Then he slowly walked up to the Hearts at the centre of the small TV, bowed his head and placed his left hand against his heart in a salute and dropped to one knee with a booming sound that echoed like the buzzing of a cannonball and made people cover their heads and kneel.

"Queen, Τιτν (Titan) is here."

Hearts lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly in return before placing her hand on Titan's massive fingers, allowing Titan to kiss her awkwardly in return.

"Τιτν, do me a favor." Hearts turned to Muke, who was standing at the edge, and smiled lightly with downcast eyes, "Beat them, as usual."

In this moment, she smiles in a way that bears an uncanny resemblance to Bai Liu on the small TV.

Titan rose and turned to face Muke and the others, holding out a palm the size of a grown man's head and looking down at the retreating and wary Muke and Mu Sicheng, who opened it wide.

"Yes, My queen."

[System Alert: Player Titan uses his personal skill (Dimensional Shield) on the entire Bai Liu small TV space area]

[After using this skill, different spaces will be cut off into different time-space dimensions, neither living nor non-living beings will be able to enter another space, light and sound will no longer be able to propagate, and the spaces where the skill is implemented will no longer be merged under the same multidimensional space (including the game lobby)]

[Limitation: One Dimensional Clock].

In an instant, the entire area in front of Muke where Bai Liu's TV was located disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a dark, inaccessible orb.

The pure black, orb, the size of the viewing area, is filled with tiny twinkling star particles suspended and spinning, as if it were a corner of the universe.

Muke staggered back two steps, some desperation hidden on his face - one dimensional clock, without their outside support, was enough for Bai Liu to fall straight into no man's land!

Unless it was Bai Liu who got through ...... their side before he fell in, there was nothing more that could be done.

--------

Gamblers' Club Guild, President's Office.

With his eyes closed, Charles leans back in a wide boss's chair, both hands leaning loosely on the leather armrests on either side of the chair, as if he is thinking about something, his right index finger with its big shiny diamond ring curled up and tapping the armrests in a regular, dull sound.

Wang Shun sits restrainedly across from Charles, hands resting on his knees and leaning forward - a very standard gesture of begging and being in a vulnerable position.

As the person being begged, Charles' relaxed posture already suggests that he is not taking Wang Shun's request very seriously.

" President Charles." Wang Shun raised his voice a little, trying to wake up the president who looked like he was already falling asleep, "I've just shown you a few videos of Bai Liu's games, he has potential, is strong and fits your requirements for selecting a dark horse, please think about it!"

Charles lazily lifted one eye to Wang Shun, a smile on his face with a distinctly flirtatious edge, "He does seem to be my preferred taste, and if it was ten minutes ago I might have been convinced by you - but now?"

He slowly sat up straight and raised his index finger to shake it from side to side, "Nonono, I do like black horses, but I don't like betting horses that have been concealed staked."

--Deployed concealed stakes means that the horse has been targeted by others before entering the track, such as putting small nails in the horseshoes so that the horse cannot run well on the track or even have access to the track.

Bai Liu is now in a situation where, for Charles, the King's Guild has put a stake in the ground.

Charles fished through the information Wang Shun had given him about Bai Liu on his desk with some regret, gave Bai Liu's face a couple of loving strokes, and then unceremoniously threw it into the bin under the desk.

"I won't tell your boss, Hearts, that one of her inner circle has come to me to promote a newcomer." Charles gave a nervous Wang Shun a smirking glance, his white-gloved hands slowly interlocking his fingers in front of the small of his back as he added the second half of the sentence, "-a newcomer who is being targeted by her."

"But you've wasted almost ......" Charles lifted a hand to pluck the end of his glove and glanced at his equally diamond encrusted watch, "thirty dimensional minutes to convince me to take on a soon to be completely worthless valuable newcomer."

"My time is very precious, and you have to pay some price for wasting it so freely." Charles raised his eyes to Wang Shun, he raised the civilised cane resting by the leg of his chair and stood up unsteadily, walking up behind Wang Shun who was straining at the waist, before placing his gloved hands on Wang Shun's shoulders and sliding them downwards, his tone ambiguous, "No one who comes to me and can still leave nothing behind. "

"-give me some information that only you know, my lovely Mr. Pepsi."

The staff of civilisation had somehow become lodged around Wang Shun's neck, and the slow, deliberate upward movement of Charles was beginning to choke Wang Shun, making him want to struggle - but Wang Shun controlled himself from tearing at the staff.

Now he's just being threatened, touch him and he'll really have to die here today!

Charles hates it when people touch his accessories and magic props - like diamond watches, rings, like this custom-made civilised cane of some rare wood he's holding.

"Ahem..." Wang Shun's eyes were starting to pop with blood from the strangulation, and he leaned back in his chair to reduce the pressure of the cane on his windpipe, "You really won't regret investing in Bai Liu. --"

"I know the prophecy of an Adversary of the Cross to Bai Liu -"

The staff of civilisation is instantly jerked away and Wang Shun covers his neck and chokes violently.

Charles took a beautifully made silk scarf out of his pocket and wiped Wang Shun's civilised staff from end to end, tossed it to the side and then turned his head to Wang Shun thoughtfully: "-The Reverse Cross? The guy who was third in the overall standings? I think he was originally called..."

"[Judgement of the Reverse God] - he changed his name to [Reverse Cross Cultist] only after he transferred from the sixth guild [Deer Hunter] to the first guild [Killer Sequence] this year." Wang Shun wiped away his strangled tears with the palm of his hand and took two big deep breaths before he slowed down to look at Charles, "You know what the skill of this player [Inquisitor of the Reverse God] is, right?"

Charles gave Wang Shun a light look: "Prophecy."

"To be precise, the name of his skill is called [Listening to Only the Words of God]." Wang Shun gasped, "I scoped out a prophecy within him earlier, something to do with Bai Liu."

Charles nudged his civilising staff over Wang Shun's heart in a gentlemanly gesture of invitation, smiling harmlessly: "I'd like to hear more."
