Chapter 79: Game Lobby

Liu Fu also smiled nervously, "We used to play basketball when we were young, and we're no worse than you youngsters."

Bai Liu was silent for a moment, "You can always talk to me before you finally sign up in two months, you can drop out, I'll try to find someone else in those two months, you're just the back up option, you don't have to force yourselves."

Although he said that, Bai Liu didn't have much choice, because there were only two months left, and most of the veteran players who were interested and qualified had signed up, while those who weren't interested wouldn't just follow Bai Liu, a pure newcomer, because it wasn't as if they had to live long.

Xiang Chunhua and Liu Fu are aware of the dangers of this race, but they want to repay Bai Liu, a young man who seems to be a bit cool, and although he says he extracts their souls and looks like a bad guy, he actually does everything to help them from start to finish.

It's just a competition, even if they die for this young man, they've lived long enough.

Much longer than Guoguo.

Compared to Liu Fu and Xiang Chunhua, two middle-aged men with some experience of life and death, Mu Sicheng was not so calm.

After hearing that Bai Liu had asked him to bring in newcomers, he was completely furious.

Mu Sicheng was silent for two seconds, and raised his voice incredulously: "You want me to help you bring in new people? Shit, you're not? You're taking a brand new team to the tournament? Are you crazy? That's the solution you've found?"

"I'm beginning to regret that you lured me into this boat yesterday in my disturbed state of mind." Mu Sicheng really cracked up, "And I never fucking bring in new people!"

"So you want to quit?" Bai Liu asked in a soft voice, "I will allow you to withdraw, but you will have to compete alone in this virtual world."

"Or do you want to play with me in a league where you can win a real future?" Bai Liu asks in a matter-of-fact manner.

Mu Sicheng's voice was hoarse and helpless, as if something had strangled his throat and stopped abruptly.

"Shit, what's the point of choosing? With you, of course."

Bai Liu inserted his spare key into the door hole, and instead of turning it, he calmly asked Mu Sicheng on the other end of the phone, "So you're helping me bring in new people?"

There was no answer from Mu Sicheng, only the sound of unsteady breathing, and Bai Liu was in no hurry, waiting and not hanging up the phone.

"You're really good with words!" Mu Sicheng spoke up with a certain amount of frustration, and Bai Liu could imagine him scratching his hair in annoyance at the other end of the line.

In the end Mu Sicheng sighed in frustration, "I'll try, just to be clear, I've never led before and I'm not one of those guild veterans with newbies, you give me the person, I don't promise to bring them out alive for you."

Bai Liu smiles: "I always like to assume you can do it before it happens."

"Bai Liu, you're really good at cajoling people into joining you." Mu Sicheng was speechless, "You've really been a pyramid scheme before, haven't you?"

"I don't do illegal things." Bai Liu said turning the key to unlock the door and saying without changing his face, "When have I ever done anything to coax people into joining?"

Muke, who was waiting for Bai Liu in his room, turned back in surprise, Bai Liu had given him the spare key to his room earlier and told Muke to wait for him inside.

"When are we going to start playing games?" Muke took a deep breath clenched into his fist and said, "I'm ready to join the gang."

Mu Sicheng on the other end of the line was quick to spit out, "This is Muke, right, and you say you haven't done anything to cajole people into joining you, so how did Muke get on your bandwagon ......"

Bai Liu hung up crisply, "See you at the game, Mu Sicheng."

System: [Welcome player Bai Liu to the game, please take care of your safety]

Bai Liu slowly opened his eyes, still dressed in his suit and trousers and white shirt, Muke and he had logged in together, but all players had random login points. A warning window popped up in bright red.

[System warning: Player Bai Liu has received a kill order]

[System Alert: A friendly reminder to change your appearance to avoid being followed by the killer]

Bai Liu raises an eyebrow: [A chase order? Change your face at random, I guess.]

[System: Enter the random face mobilization program - height change (174 → 161), hair colour change (short black → long brown curly), lip colour (flesh colour → cherry red), pupil distance widening, eye width enlargement ......]

The clothes on Bai Liu's body have shrunk in size and fit as her appearance has changed. Bai Liu opens her hands to look at herself in all her innocent, harmless high school girl glory, slightly "......".

Bai Liu cannot agree with the aesthetic level of the system's randomly generated looks.

But with this look, his chances of being recognised are greatly reduced, but Mu Sicheng is still able to find him very quickly. The man finds people by his nose, in his words, Bai Liu smells like copper and he can smell it from a few hundred metres away, but it's true, it doesn't take long for Mu Sicheng to find Bai Liu.

Mu Sicheng, who had been looking serious, ended up staring at Bai Liu with long wavy hair, ten centimeters shorter and a flat-chested high school girl: "You ...... still have this hobby?"

Bai Liu didn't bother with him, he tugged his skirt down to cover where Mu Sicheng's eerie eyes were sweeping and asked directly, "Look again and I'll kill you, I've received a chase, what is it?"

"Yes, that's what I'm talking to you about." Mu Sicheng's expression instantly regained its seriousness, "A guild has given you a direct hunt order."

The chase order is the same as the kind of advertising fireworks Bai Liu saw before, it is a notice that can be sent to all players and requires points to be sent, kind of like the kind of fireworks that Bai Liu played in a large online game a few years ago, once it is set off, the whole online game will shout it over the loud speaker and all players can see it.

While Bai Liu was asking about this, another virtual firework exploded above his head, the tail whisker of which fell slowly onto Bai Liu's body, and a notification popped up automatically on his panel.

[System wide announcement: Zombie guild has issued a kill order to player Bai Liu]

[Content of the hunt: The Zombie Guild promises to kill Bai Liu within three days and take the (Siren's Fishbone) and (Ghost Mirror) two godly NPC props from him to prepare for the season! All players are welcome to come and watch! Please support the skinned zombie guild in the league!

"A zombie guild?" Bai Liu stroked his chin, "Is that a small guild? I've never heard of it."

"It's not a small guild." Mu Sicheng was a bit speechless, " Bai Liu please take your attention off the points a bit too, you're going to the league, get to know the popular teams and guilds participating."

Bai Liu: "I didn't see this zombie guild in the top 10 of the league's guild support campaign, it's not even in the top 10, is that not a small guild?"

While Bai Liu spoke in a flat tone and expression, he was genuinely serious in his questioning without mockery, Mu Sicheng felt that Bai Liu had unleashed a wave of mockery on this zombie guild, which made him chuckle a little.

But soon Mu Sicheng curbed his smile and got serious: "The Zombie Guild is not a small guild."

With that, Mu Sicheng opened the system panel and brought up the league's support campaign screen, sliding his finger all the way down it and finally stopping at a screen to hand to Bai Liu.

"Their guild isn't very well known though." Mu Sicheng nods to two players on the interface and shows them to Bai Liu, "but they have two very famous duo star players in their guild, and the founders of their guild."

"And these two players, both of them are top players with panel attributes one step short of S rank." Mu Sicheng looked up straight at Bai Liu, "The kind of top player that is not many levels higher than Zhang Gui's kind of guild players, professional level, killing like hell."

The single poster of these two has a triangular video button next to it with [Highly Popular Support Video] - [Mix: The Best Two-Person Matching CUT of the Year ~ Scavenging Zombie Highlight - A Bloody Father-Son Duo Who Twitch and Rip Off No Evil ~]

The video is free to watch and Bai Liu clicked in without hesitation.

Three minutes later, Bai Liu finished watching and the video interface stopped at the last screen, where a male with a shackle on his mouth unshackled it with one hand and excitedly bit on the back of a man, who was obviously a hostile player, screaming loudly with his mouth wide open as he was bitten, while the player who attacked him had his teeth sunk into the flesh and blood was smeared all over his face.

This in the Tsinghua eaters next to the player stood a Qing Dynasty zombie-like middle-aged man, zombie skin green and purple figure tall, came to disturb the monster by his slap waved away, as if a little attack damage did not manage to cause him, tall, look stable and mature, just that the gloomy zombie face look a little weird.

"The crazy one who eats people is Miao Feichi, an output, and the zombie one who resists monsters is Miao Gaofu, with ridiculously high defense in zombie form, they're a pretty typical output and shield type duo, and because they're father and son, the tacit understanding is good." Mu Sicheng explained, "And these two have very high panel attributes, both over 8,000, and are S-rank players, killing you with flat A's is just a matter of fractions of a second."

Seeing Bai Liu rewind for a few seconds and rewatch the video of Miao Feichi eating someone, he thoughtfully propped up his chin and asked, "So this Miao Feichi guy attacks by biting people?"

"No, he attacks with a double blade, he eats people because -" Mu Sicheng paused in a complicated tone, " Miao Feichi has an omnivorous fetish, he likes to eat corpses, and fresh and tender corpses, it is said that in real life he has been imprisoned for attempted crimes for this stuff, but because it was an attempt, the person is out."

Bai Liu looked up at Mu Sicheng: "Can you make it simple, he likes to eat children and has failed to kidnap them?"

Mu Sicheng was silent for a moment: "Yes."

But such a horrific event did not attract much attention from Bai Liu, who rubbed his chin in thought. Looking at Mu Sicheng with great sincerity, he said, "But I'm so low-profile, why would they want to see me?"

"......" The man had the nerve to call himself low-key when he was stirring up the game, Mu Sicheng spat with an expressionless face, "Probably because you look tastier."

Bai Liu, in a short skirt, looked puzzled: "So that's why? I told you."

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Don't give me real letters!!!
