Chapter 32: Game Hall (1/2)

Mu Sicheng looked at the one point silver coin with eyes like he was seeing a ghost. He stared at the person holding the coin rather speechlessly. “Bai Liu, you are teasing me? You want mental bleach for one point? Do you know how expensive mental bleach is? My mental bleach is all of high quality and costs over 1,000 points. What’s the difference between you and white bleach?”

“One point plus a display of my personal skill. Isn’t it a deal?” Bai Liu kept smiling. “You can look at my skill first and then give me the mental bleach. How about it? You are probably the first player to see my personal skill.”

Hearing Bai Liu’s words spoken in a slightly seductive tone, Mu Sicheng couldn’t help wavering but he was still a bit skeptical.

He could completely see Bai Liu’s skill and refuse to give the mental bleach. Bai Liu’s current mental value was only in the single digits. He might seem sober but it was obvious that he couldn’t take Mu Sicheng. Moreover, personal skills such as robbery and theft were prohibited in the game hall. Even if Bai Liu’s skill allowed him to steal things from others, it couldn’t be displayed in this hall.

However, Bai Liu didn’t know this yet. After much deliberation, Mu Sicheng felt that he wouldn’t suffer anyway. It was better to agree with the newcomer since he was indeed very curious about this guy’s personal skill. Mu Sicheng rubbed his nose before reaching out to grab the coin from Bai Liu’s fingers. He gave a sly smirk. “Deal. Then Bai Liu, show me your skill!”

[System alert: The transaction between player Bai Liu and player Mu Sicheng is established. The poor wanderer Bai Liu has received a bottle of mental bleach.]

[System reminder: Player Mu Sicheng has given player Bai Liu a bottle of high quality mental bleach worth 1,700 points. This can restore a player’s mental value that is below 20 to the original value.]

An aluminum can of mental bleach fell into Bai Liu’s hands. It looked a bit like spray paint. Bai Liu took it and shook it. Before Mu Sicheng could react, he sprayed it on himself.

White mental bleach smoke covered Bai Liu’s face.

Mu Sicheng finally reacted and screamed, “This is the high quality bleach I hoarded during the discount sale!”

Before Mu Sicheng could grab it, Bai Liu had already finished spraying.

Mu Sicheng stared at the refreshed Bai Liu with a particularly resentful and depressed look. “What is your personal skill? Stealing? However, in the game hall, players are only allowed to trade. They aren’t allowed to steal or rob! How did you steal the bleach that I stored in the system warehouse?!”

“I have just finished showing it to you.” Bai Liu stood up from the ground with a smile and patted Mu Sicheng’s shoulder, who was dejectedly drawing circles on the ground. “Thank you player Mu Sicheng for the mental bleach. It is easy to use.”

Mu Sicheng couldn’t figure it out at all and chased after Bai Liu like a little monkey. He jumped around and asked what the personal skill was, using a strange scale to test if Bai Liu was honest. The result of the measurement was ‘yes’, which meant that Bai Liu hadn’t lied to him from beginning to end. This made Mu Sicheng more confused.

At this time, Wang Shun gave Bai Liu some basic knowledge of the game thanks to Bai Liu’s inquiry. As he mentioned that this batch of newcomers was almost wiped out apart from Bai Liu, Wang Shun spoke with regret. “In fact, there is another newcomer called Mu Ke in your group who is also good. He is still struggling but he should end up dying. I just went to watch it and he has fallen into the death comedy section. There are no rewards and he is most likely going to die.”

“What did you say his name was?” Bai Liu paused when he heard this.

Bai Liu was fired and lost his job. A big reason for that was the son of a big boss who was parachuted into the company to experience life. Bai Liu was dismissed by his boss, who looked down on him, in order to make room for the young master who wanted to experience the social hardships of the Internet industry.

The young master’s name was Mu Ke.

The young master Mu Ke was notoriously bad-tempered. Once the position was handed over, Bai Liu didn’t have time to copy the horror game and some important graphic data files on his computer. When he went there the next day, he found that his computer had been thrown out by the arrogant young master.

It wasn’t just the computer. All the things Bai Liu hadn’t taken away from his office were lost.

However, it was clear that the handover day was tomorrow. This young master didn’t give Bai Liu a day to clean up. He just packed up Bai Liu’s things with disgust and threw them out of the company in full view of the public.

Since Bai Liu was suppressed by his boss in the company, he had been working in a small, dilapidated corner. He used a computer with an XP screen that was very old. Later, Bai Liu brought his own computer. It was also very old but it was a bit better than the XP system.

Therefore, Mu Ke threw away Bai Liu’s personal computer. Bai Liu asked Mu Ke about it. Mu Ke indifferently said it looked so old that it annoyed him, so he threw it away. If Bai Liu wanted, he would compensate Bai Liu with a new, top-level computer.

Bai Liu originally thought that his computer still had dozens of gigabytes of data and some new ideas for horror games. However, he was now unemployed. It was boring to get tangled up in these things and he was no match for the opponent.

It was said that this young master had a congenital heart disease so he was very spoiled at home. They gave him whatever he wanted. He wanted to experience life in a game company so they arranged layoffs so he could get any position he wanted.
