Chapter 143: Time Ranking #89

The sun sinks fully into the sky, the last rays of the sun disappearing over the distant horizon.

The moment Jackass opens his mouth, Tang Mo stops moving. When he saw who was there, he put away his parasol. Tang Mo had never expected to see Jackass in Beijing, nor Chen Shanshan. Before he could say anything, he heard Chen Shanshan say, "Let's get out of here, it's near the real copy of Peking University. It's dark and not safe enough."

Jackass nods and Tang Mo stares blankly.

A few moments later, the three figures disappeared into the crisscrossing alleyways. Tang Mo finds an unoccupied courtyard and the three of them enter the main house, Jackass takes a low wattage energy saving torch out of his backpack. Turning it on, the dim light immediately illuminates the room, bright enough for Tang Mo to see their faces without anyone outside the house noticing.

Tang Mo looked at the muscular foreign man and then at the little girl. His eyes settled on Chen Shanshan, pondering for a long time before finally asking, "How did you ...... get here?"

The moment he saw Jackass and Chen Shanshan, Tang Mo even wondered if it was some kind of special ability that could change his face and make his enemies let down their guard. For example, if he wanted to attack Tang Mo, Tang Mo would definitely fight back, but when he saw that it was Jackass and Chen Shanshan, of course he would not do it, but he might be caught by the other side and killed in one blow. But he soon denied this suspicion.

Whose face can you turn into, but Jackass and Chen Shanshan's?

Tang Mo is now most familiar with Fu Wenduo, Fu Wensheng and, at most, Bai Ruoyao. If it was a psychic effect, it would have been their faces.

It's because Tang Mo has no idea how these two people, who are supposed to be in Shanghai, could be here that they came up with all this nonsense.

Jackass scratched his head and replied, "Actually it wasn't my idea, it was Shanshan who said that you might be found here at BYU. Shanshan said, "Don, you've attacked the tower before in January, The black tower won't force you to attack it. And since you just cleared the third floor of The black tower last month, you probably won't be attacking the tower on your own initiative anytime soon, so you must still be in Beijing. But with so much going on these days, you won't just sit around and do nothing. The most famous copy in Beijing right now is this realistic copy of Peking University, and Shanshan thinks there's a 30% chance you'll take it on. We just have to wait here, and there's a good chance we'll be waiting for you." After a pause, Jackass turned his head to the young girl: "Shanshan, did you say a 30% chance?"

Chen Shanshan said helplessly, "I did say 30%, but Jackass, Brother Tang asked for something else."

Jackass was confused, "Didn't Don ask why we were here?"

"He's asking why we're here, in this case referring to Beijing."

Jackass dawns on me.

Having not seen him for several months, Tang Mo watched Chen Shanshan point out Jackass's mistake, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a small smile. When he smiled, both of them turned their eyes to him. Tang Mo explained, "You guys seem to have changed."

Jackass: "Yeah, Don, you actually noticed that? I've gotten stronger. I cleared the second level of The black tower last month and got a few body boosts. Shanshan hasn't changed though, it's strange, she's been in a lot of replica games and has cleared The black tower level 2 and her fitness hasn't improved."

Tang Mo knows why, but he doesn't say.

"Are you saying that Shanshan's hair has grown longer?"

The change was not even noticed by Chen Shanshan, who touched her shoulder-length hair and murmured, "It does seem to have gotten longer ......"

The three of them laugh away in unison.

Every day since Earth went live has been like a year for the players. For everyone, three months is not three months, but three years. Tang Mo has only been apart from Jackass and Chen Shanshan for three months, but it feels like a long time. But after the joke Jackass made, the three of them quickly got to know each other and there was no gap between them.

Chen Shanshan explained, "It was my teacher who asked Jackass to bring me here to see you, Brother Tang."

Tang Mo's brow furrowed, " Luo Fengcheng ?"

The young girl nodded: "Yes, it's the teacher. Jackass and I left Shanghai last month, but we accidentally entered a copy in Tianjin and were delayed for a while. When we arrived in Beijing, we heard that the Chosen Group was after Mr. Fu's school. Chosen is very powerful and Jackass and I were alone in our efforts.

Tang Mo didn't expect the young girl to be in Beijing so early. He said, "The matter of the Chosen Organisation is rather complicated, so I can't talk about it now. What did Luo Fengcheng want you to come over for?"

Only Chen Shanshan, not Jackass. Tang Mo could hear who Luo Fengcheng really wanted to send to Beijing.

Chen Shanshan's fingers tightened as she looked earnestly at Tang Mo and uttered those three words, "Transparent man."

Tang Mo's eyes widened slightly and he soon calmed down.

"What information did Luo Fengcheng ask you to bring here?"

No nonsense, straight to the point and asking for information, because Tang Mo now understood Luo Fengcheng's thoughts. Luo Fengcheng must have found out some important information about the Transparent Man, and that was why Chen Shanshan had come all the way here. The information must have been so important and so urgent that the Atak organisation couldn't handle it, and that's why they gave it to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.

Jackass was listening in confusion, wondering how Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan could suddenly get to the point when they had just been talking about growing hair.

Chen Shanshan keeps pace with Tang Mo. She takes a thick stack of folders out of the small bag she carries with her. Tang Mo realises that the bag Chen Shanshan is carrying looks small, but inside it are five centimetres of documents. The bag is smaller because it only contains documents.

Chen Shanshan handed the items over to Tang Mo: "These are the things that my teacher asked me to bring over. But these things are only on paper, what he really wanted to give you ...... Brother Tang, is me. I know twice as much as what is written here."

Tang Mo took the folder and was about to open it when he heard the words. Tang Mo slowly smiled at the young girl's serious and focused expression. He simply put all the papers aside and said, "What is it that Luo Fengcheng found?"

Chen Shanshan's tone is certain: "The transparent people are the six billion or so people who disappeared six months ago."

Next, Chen Shanshan speaks very fast, telling all the information gathered by Atak's organisation, exchanging information with Tang Mo. She had thought that Tang Mo would not know all these things, so she had told him every little piece of information. But it was only after she had actually said it that she realised that Tang Mo knew a lot.

"Transparent people are humans who once disappeared, and they have a leaderboard called the Time Leaderboard." Tang Mo found a piece of paper from the room and wrote all these points of information on it, "I already know all this. But I only know that the number one ranked player is called Mu Huixue, I haven't heard of these players you mentioned."

Mu Huixue, Alex Jonard, Richard Manteson ......

Chen Shanshan dictates, and Tang Mo writes the names one by one. When he had finished writing all the names, he found that he had written more than forty names in total. Of these, eleven were Chinese, twenty were European and American, and a very few were South-East Asian and East Asian names.

Tang Mo holds his water pen, his fingers flipping and the end of the pen pointing downwards, gently hitting the table with a regular clattering sound. His eyes sweep over the eleven unfamiliar Chinese names and finally rest on the word "Mu Huixue" at the top of the list, Tang Mo looks up at Chen Shanshan: "Do you think there is something strange about this list. "

Chen Shanshan: " There are too many people in China."

Tang Mo curls her lips, "Yes, there are too many people in China."

According to Bai Ruoyao, the Atak organisation was given the top fifty names in a list of one hundred people, and eleven of them were from China.

"All these names are obviously Chinese names, and even if a few of them are Korean or other national names, there are still too many Chinese people." With China accounting for a quarter of the total, Tang Mo's mind was racing, and in a flash he came up with a myriad of possibilities, when suddenly he said, "Is that the same percentage as China's share of the world's population?"

Jackass was already dumbfounded when Chen Shanshan's eyes lit up and she followed Tang Mo's words with, "It's really close. And brother Tang Mo, the time chart is a kill chart. Kill a person individually and you get ten minutes. Kill a player who has time and you get half of his time in addition to the fixed ten minutes. But this really has no effect."

Chen Shanshan draws a circle on the paper and draws two small circles inside it. One small circle reads '10 minutes' and one small circle reads '10 minutes + X minutes'.

"You get ten minutes for killing one person, and ten minutes plus one-half of X minutes for killing someone who has time. But this latter person also gets that X minutes because he killed a lot of people to get it. In the final analysis, the amount of time each person gets means the number of people he has killed, and there is a positive relationship between the two." After a pause, Chen Shanshan added: "What kind of person gets more time?"

That's something Jackass understands: "Powerful people. Only when you're strong can you kill other players."

The next moment, Tang Mo said, "Strength is not the main factor."

Jackass was stunned: "What? And what's the main factor?"

Tang Mo looked up at Chen Shanshan, and the young girl looked at him steadily. Fingers slowly squeezed tightly, Chen Shanshan sighed and said word for word, "There are enough killable people around ...... this is the most important factor to become a ranking player."

With Jackass' brain, he didn't understand Chen Shanshan's point. But it didn't matter, because Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan had already come to an understanding.

Tang Mo: "The humans who disappeared six months ago make up almost 90% of the total human population. Compared to them, those of us who 'survived' are negligible. The fact that there are so many China players on the charts means that, as before Earth went online, these people have a large source of points, or ......" The voice stops and Tang Mo still says the term: "killable population. At a rate of a quarter, I'd say they're probably still alive in China."

"Wait, live in China?!" Jackass exclaimed.

Tang Mo: "Yes, they are still alive in China. Half a month ago, we started to see the so-called transparent people. Shanghai has them, Beijing has them, Tianjin has them. ...... It's safe to assume that they're starting to appear all over the world. One thing is for sure, no surviving player was killed by a Transparent Man before half a month ago. Otherwise, either Atak or Fu Wenduo would have noticed the difference."

Chen Shanshan added: "The appearance of the Transparent Man is related to Mu Huixue triggering The black tower version update. Before that, the people they killed to gain time were not supposed to be us, the 400 million surviving players. They were killing the six billion or so people who disappeared with them."

Jackass was dazed by them, but he also vaguely sensed that Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan seemed to have discovered something very important: "So ...... what's going on now?"

The heated discussion came to a screeching halt as the young girl shut her mouth and stopped talking, her brow furrowed as if she was thinking about something very serious. Chen Shanshan's lips twitched, but finally closed. She didn't know what to say about it, and she didn't even want to say it, because she was so worried that ...... she and Tang Mo were right in their assumptions.

A calm male voice rang through the room, " Luo Fengcheng has guessed about this too, right?"

Chen Shanshan turns his head quickly and looks at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo reached up and pinched his temples.

...... Some things, if they are true, they have to be faced. There is no use in running away from it; the situation is very serious.

"The world of the Transparent People is merging with ours, which is why they appear and disappear at times. But one day, the two worlds will definitely merge. And this fusion ...... might just be called The black tower's version 4.0."

A silver lightning bolt cut through the sky and lit up the entire city of Beijing.

Spring thunder thundered and spring rain came crashing down. In the courtyard, Jackass walks over and closes the window. Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan continue to discuss the new topic as they combine the information they have found. At the end of the conversation, the young girl looked at Tang Mo's dense writing and data on the paper and asked, "Brother Tang Mo, what do you think the probability of that guess is?"

Tang Mo looked up, only to see the small, ordinary-looking girl looking at herself with those dark eyes in all seriousness in the dim light and the pattering of the rain. The clean pupils twitched slightly, the girl already sure of the two men's default inference, but she was still reluctant to accept the harsh reality that might soon be upon her.

Not just because her father and mother are in that world, perhaps long since murdered.

All the more so because those six billion transparent people, if they appear, would be an unprecedented disaster for the current official players, preppers and stowaways.

Yes, nine times out of ten, it is a disaster, not a reunion of joy.

Tang Mo looked at Chen Shanshan, and after a moment he said, "That's a question that should be asked of you, not me."

The Superintelligent Thinking ability allows you to get up to 50% correct on any unfounded guess. Tang Mo has a maximum accuracy rate of 10% with this ability, while Chen Shanshan has a 50% accuracy rate. With the passage of six months, her ability level has certainly increased, and her correctness rate is perhaps even more frightening.

Whenever she says a number, that number is likely to be the correct answer.

Chen Shanshan's lips parted and after a long hesitation, she said, "I think ...... is 100 per cent."

As the words fell, another thunderbolt fell to the ground.

Tang Mo's lips opened and closed without speaking.

Tang Mo had just finished a copy and Chen Shanshan and Jackass had travelled all the way from Shanghai to Beijing in search of Tang Mo. All three were tired, so Tang Mo and Jackass took turns keeping watch and we all had a good night's rest.

The rain had stopped early the next morning.

Tang Mo walked out into the courtyard and looked around to make sure no one was there, then he went back into the house, "It's ready to go."

Chen Shanshan nods and starts to tidy up the mess of papers and documents on his desk. Tang Mo walks over to help with the tidying up, taking out some of the less important papers and putting them aside to save space by simply burning them. The table was quickly cleared and Tang Mo reached for a piece of paper, which he was about to put in the rubbish as well, when suddenly he stopped moving and his eyes widened in disbelief at the top line of the document.

Name: Bai Ruoyao ......

Tang Mo immediately picked up the piece of paper and looked carefully at the information on it. He quickly read the whole thing and looked up and said, "What is this?"

Chen Shanshan was about to light a fire to burn the paper when she heard this, she came over bewildered, and after reading the words on the information, she wondered, "Huh, why is this thing here. The information my teacher gave me was about the Transparent Man incident, it has nothing to do with this man."

Tang Mo captures the point: "Do you know Bai Ruoyao?"

Chen Shanshan shook his head and then nodded: "I don't know him, but I've heard about him a few times from my teacher and Jackass, and I know him. Brother Tang, you know him? Then you can ask Jackass, he knows more about this man."

Jackass happens to be walking by and when Tang Mo finishes his question, his face turns odd. It's not often that the sturdy foreigner shows such a complex expression of anger and rage, but in the end there's nothing he can do about it. Under the watchful eyes of Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan, Jackass exhaled sullenly and said, "I really, really, really hate this wretched man! Of all the friends I've made in China, he's really the most annoying Chinese person I've ever met!"

From Jackass's account Tang Mo realised that Bai Ruoyao had been involved in so much trouble in Shanghai.

Two months ago, when Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had just left Shanghai and arrived in Nanjing, the psychopath who had caused such a furore arrived in Shanghai. The following day, The black tower released a new copy of the rally, and no one noticed that a strange baby-faced young man had also entered the rally, and it was in that copy that they first saw this self-harming psychopath.

"He's really sick! At the end when we were ready to pass, it was clear that at least a dozen players could have passed, including him. He then made sure to attack the BOSS and provoke it, causing six people to fail to pass the game. Although he himself cleared the game, he didn't get any extra benefits. Two of those six players belonged to a very powerful reserve organisation in Shanghai. After the rally was over, the group went on a wild goose chase to kill him." Jackass still feels very angry about the incident.

Bai Ruoyao's behaviour didn't affect Jackass, who cleared the rally without any problems, but he really couldn't understand this kind of behaviour against himself and felt that he was sick.

Jackass is indignant: "The Shanghai players have nicknamed him Baby-Faced Maniac. He's really sick!"

Tang Mo knows all about Bai Ruoyao's snake charmer status, but he's not interested in finding out what he's been up to in Shanghai. What he wants to know is: "Is everything written in this profile true?"

Jackass took the document and read it.

"Yes, it's all true. Dr. Luo didn't talk much to Shanshan about the doll-faced maniac, he talked a lot to Tang Qiao and me. As long as a person is a person, there must be traces of their existence, and this information was found by Dr. Luo when he asked Tang Qiao and me to go to Shanghai somewhere. He told me that this kind of person is not like you, Tang. The doll-faced madman has an eccentric personality and behaviour, and is so powerful that it is peculiar. He wasn't just powerful with The black tower, he would have been powerful before Earth came online, with great fighting skills. For such a powerful man, he was not part of the military, but the state must have investigated him as long as he lived in China. There's a place in Shanghai where this kind of secret information is kept, and Tang Qiao and I spent a day there looking for it and found it."

Looking at the little information on the file, Jackass felt a little guilty: "That's all there is, and we still don't know who he really is."

Bai Ruoyao, born 1993 in Chongqing, China, settled in Chongqing before Earth came online.

There is no biographical information about Bai Ruoyao, no information about where he went to primary school or junior high school, and no information about where he went to university. It only says that the man suddenly returned to Chongqing from abroad two years ago and has been idle and unemployed ever since.

This should not be the result of the state trying to investigate a person.

If such a person really existed who could not even understand the country, he should not be living peacefully in the country and should have been deported long ago. Unless ......

Tang Mo's body froze. An unthinkable answer came to him.

He didn't quite believe the answer, because it was so unbelievable. How could a psychopath like Bai Ruoyao be in that position, he didn't look like that at all.

...... Could he have guessed wrong?

Yes, he must have guessed wrong.

Tang Mo calmed down, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the rubbish. Chen Shanshan looked thoughtfully at the small ball of paper and seemed to have thought of something too. But she didn't say much as she lit the pile of paper on fire and watched the useless papers and information burn to ashes in the flames.

The three men are ready to leave.

Jackass scratched his head as he looked at the burned out papers and couldn't help but say, "How did Dr. Lowe accidentally put that doll-faced maniac's information in there too."

Tang Mo pauses in his steps and soon he moves on.

Was Luo Fengcheng accidental or deliberate? The answer to all this is not at all clear. Perhaps he guessed from one of Bai Ruoyao's actions that he might have known Tang Mo, and that is why he "accidentally" included Bai Ruoyao's file in the Transparent Man file and sent it all the way to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo, with Jackass and Chen Shanshan in tow, carefully left the courtyard and headed for Chaoyang District.

Last night, while Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan were each reading their own material, he and Fu Wenduo spoke in their heads to make sure they had found a breakthrough in their side of the tower attack game.

The black tower's three levels of hard mode are challenging for Fu Wenduo, but only just.

The presence of Fu Wensheng and another middle-aged player reduced the difficulty of Fu Wenduo's tower attack game. Fu Wenduo predicted that they would be able to complete the game in three days at the most. He and Tang Mo met at Fu Wensheng's house, the exact location of which he had already drawn on a map and given to Tang Mo.

No one knows if the Chosen's claim that "things don't last forever" is true or not, and Tang Mo is careful to avoid any possible Chosen prying eyes along the way. At the same time, they had to avoid the players who had just come out of the tower attack game. Most of these players are wounded and have been through a terrible battle, and for a short period of time they may behave in an aggressive manner, hostile to anyone.

Two days later, Tang Mo found this area of exclusive villas according to the information on the map.

There are few cities with such lush green vegetation. A green field of trees separates the villas from each other, tucked away in a deep and quiet place. The three of them follow the road deeper into the villa area, and farther on Tang Mo sees a three-storey villa. According to Fu Wenduo, Fu Xiaodi's house is one of the few three-storey villas in the area, with a hundred-year-old peach tree outside.

After several days of continuous spring rain, a small pink flower blooms on the tall trees.

"Is that it?" Jackass asked.

Tang Mo nodded, "It should be here." As he said this, he walked forward to check the name on the door of the villa. Just as Tang Mo reached the large iron gate of the villa and looked up at the nameplate next to the door, suddenly his gaze flickered and he quickly pulled the small parasol from his waist and opened it with a snap to shield himself.

Bang, bang, bang!

A dense metallic clatter smashed into the small parasol with such force that Tang Mo took a step backwards. He looked down and found a ten centimetre long steel needle all smashed into the ground, each one almost buried in the ground and in the wood. Tang Mo's heart tightened and he didn't have time to hesitate as he pulled a dart out of his pocket and, with a wrist movement, threw it forward.

The tiny darts passed between the gaps in the large metal door and swished into it.

The next moment, a dark shadow flashed across the courtyard.

Jackass' eyes widened and he threw the two bags at Chen Shanshan: "Hide, Shanshan!"

Chen Shanshan expertly takes the bag and turns and runs, disappearing down the path in no time at all. On the other side of the road, Jackass roars, stomps the ground and leaps through the tall metal gate into the courtyard. He grabbed the dark figure by the shoulders with both hands and Tang Mo crawled through the door in two strokes. The man, caught by Jackass, turned to look at Jackass without a hint of panic.

Tang Mo now sees the other man's face.

It was a rugged-looking, middle-aged man with a face full of flesh and an ugly, hideous scar that ran from his forehead to the corner of his mouth like a centipede crawling across his face. He looks at Jackass, his eyes violent. Tang Mo's gaze shifts down and stops at the middle-aged man's neck. The middle-aged man sneered, and Tang Mo's eyes widened as he said sharply, "Look out, Jackass!"

The middle-aged man barked a rebuke and his hands went up, and in a flash, dozens of silver steel needles appeared in the air, all of them smashing into Jackass. Jackass ducked back in horror, but he was too close and was shot through the left arm by two of the needles, blood flowing immediately.

The middle-aged man looked at Tang Mo's neck and then at Jackass's and mockingly said, "Twenty minutes?" With those words, he raised his hands and twenty more steel needles appeared. Ten steel needles were aimed at Tang Mo and shot straight at him, and ten steel needles were aimed at Jackass who had fallen to the ground with a whistling sound as they broke through the air.

Tang Mo's face fell and without hesitation he ran forward, grabbed Jackass and pulled him away. The next second he pulled Jackass away, ten steel needles were shot through the spot where Jackass had just been.

Jackass said urgently, "Don, he's got 1,462 minutes!"

Tang Mo pulled Jackass along as he ran to avoid the steel pins and said, "I saw it."

The man's steel needles seemed endless, and he kept raising his hand and swinging them out like arrows, forcing Tang Mo and Jackass to flee, unable to fight back.

The man's laugh in the spacious courtyard was tinged with sarcasm: "Twenty minutes, how your escape has slowed."

Jackass had just been shot through the calf with a steel needle, and Tang Mo's right hand had been grazed by a steel needle, nearly breaking his right index finger. They had to anticipate where the needles would come from next, and inevitably they were slowing down. The men didn't seem to give them a second thought, their cocky laughter never ceasing.

The one-sided press went on for five minutes when Tang Mo seized an opportunity and stopped in his tracks. The man doesn't expect him to stop and the steel pin shoots through the ground in front of Tang Mo. As the middle-aged man's mind wanders, Tang Mo and Jackass look at each other, one from the left and one from the right, pinning the man down.

The middle-aged man raised his hands and said angrily, "You two meat pigs who don't know how to die!"

As the words fell, his two hands fell together. In a flash, dozens of steel needles appeared. Five steel needles stabbed at Jackass and nineteen at Tang Mo. Tang Mo raises his umbrella and the needles hit the surface hard, forcing him to stumble backwards two steps from the force. Jackass, on the other hand, had already dodged the needles and roared his fist at the man.

The man rolls to the ground in a heap, avoiding Jackass' fist.

Jackass's fist came down so fast that before the man could stand, another punch came down. Every time the man raised his hand, Jackass' fist came down before he had a chance to shoot the needle out. Gradually his face changed slightly and he dropped the words "I'll kill you next time" and turned to run. But as soon as he had taken a step, he stopped.

Slowly the middle-aged man turned his head and looked in horror at the handsome young man.

A small pink parasol is seen in front of the middle-aged man's throat in the bright sunlight. Tang Mo raises the parasol and blocks the middle-aged man's path with a sweep of his right hand. The middle-aged man's eyes rolled and he was thinking of how to escape when Tang Mo flipped his palm up and a rubber cord shot out from his palm and wrapped around the man's hands.

The middle-aged man exclaimed, "What is this!"

The man struggled as hard as he could, but he could not break the rope.

Chen Shanshan walks in through the door. The three men looked at the middle-aged man tied up and finally looked in unison at the four digits flashing on the man's neck.

Chen Shanshan pronounced the number in a serious tone, "1456."

When Tang Mo first saw the man, the number flashing around his neck was 1,462, and now six minutes later, it was only 1,456. Tang Mo had seen a middle-aged woman with a number hovering around her neck before, but it was nowhere near that many.

Chen Shanshan: " The most information collected by the Atak organisation is that the number next to a person's neck is 312, there are not that many."

As the words fell, the three men's eyes fell on the middle-aged man in unison.

Tang Mo's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "Who are you."

The middle-aged man's face turned pale as he realised that he could not break free from the ropes and that this young man and this large foreign man were powerful and far more powerful than he could have imagined. Hearing Tang Mo's words, various mixed looks flashed across his face before he finally gritted his teeth and said, "...... I am Li Chaocheng."

After saying this, the middle-aged man closed his eyes in resignation and waited for Tang Mo's three men to answer. However, he waited for ten seconds and actually heard no sound. He opened his eyes strangely, only to see that the three meat pigs were still staring at him warily, as if they had not heard what he had just said.

The middle-aged man said in dismay, "I said, I'm Li Chaocheng."

Jackass asked rhetorically, " Who is Li Chaocheng?"

"You don't know me?!!!" The middle-aged man asked incredulously.

Jackass was about to say, "Are you famous? Why should we know you?" when Tang Mo stopped him. Tang Mo looked at the middle-aged man with a stunned look on his face and said in a calm voice, "I remember that name, what was your name again."

Li Chaocheng clenched his teeth: "89th."

Now even Jackass understands.

No. 89 on the time chart, Li Chaocheng!

No wonder he was so surprised that the three Tang Mo's didn't know him, he was on the time chart. Tang Mo only knew the names of the top 50 players, but not the players after them. Of the three, only Jackass was shocked by Li Chaocheng's identity, while Tang Mo and Chen Shanshan both looked as if they already knew who Li Chaocheng was.

However Li Chaocheng looked at the three of them and his face suddenly changed dramatically as he said in horror, "No, you're not meat pigs! Meat pigs can't be this strong. And you were lying to me, you don't even know me!" He looked at Tang Mo and his tone trembled, "No, who are you guys, who the hell are you!"

--------------------

The author has something to say.

Tangtang: Day N of Mr. Fu's absence, miss him, miss him.
