Chapter 41 (1/2)

Every time there was a post discussing Bai Liu on the forum, it would end with people tearing at each other. The most important point of this tearing was around the core promotion position Bai Liu received last time and if Bai Liu deserved it.

Many players thought that Bai Liu’s strength was too poor. He might be a bit clever but he wasn’t worthy of such a good core promotion position. There were also many people who wondered why Bai Liu being worthy or not had anything to do with them.

Wang Shun had watched a few arguments and to sum it up, most of the players who hated Bai Liu felt he didn’t deserve it.

The last one to set off such a large-scale argument was Du Sanying in his newcomer period.

Du Sanying’s luck value was 100. No matter what he did, things went smoothly. Points poured into this guy’s account in a steady stream. Many players were jealous and scolded Du Sanying every day. An existence that depended on good luck didn’t deserve to exist and would die in the game sooner or later.

Some people said that Du Sanying was also powerful and his personal skill was strong. However, most of the time, this type of defense was rejected using the argument ‘let Du Sanying’s luck value fall to 0 and then see if he has strength.’

Then once Du Sanying was firmly in the top three of the rising stars ranking, no one dared to insult and offend him and things became much better.

Now Bai Liu’s luck value was 0 and he reached the core promotion position purely using his strength and mind. Nevertheless, this group still saw him as unpleasant or thought he wasn’t worthy of the position.

It seemed that deserving it or not wasn’t important. It was the position that mattered. As long as someone climbed up to that position, it didn’t matter who they were. They weren’t worthy. As long as the person who climbed up wasn’t themselves, they would pick on a mistake and zoom in for everyone to see.

Wang Shun shook his head and stopped listening to these players’ discussions. He looked at the small TVs in front of him and had the same problem. Whose small TV should he watch?

String Puppet Master’s small TV had the paid mode while Mu Sicheng’s small TV also opened the paid mode. Du Sanying was third on the rising stars ranking but he always played games without any waves and had a mediocre amount of paying viewers so Du Sanying’s live TV broadcast was never in paid mode.

As a newcomer, Bai Liu naturally didn’t open the paid model. Yet Bai Liu, a free player, had a smaller audience than String Puppet Master, let alone Du Sanying.

Du Sanying’s popularity had always been high and it was free. In this type of live broadcast of a game where three gods gathered and the topic was high, players who weren’t willing to pay flooded into Du Sanying’s small TV area. From a distance, it could be seen that Du Sanying’s viewing area was densely filled. The number of viewers was more than that of Mu Sicheng and the puppet master’s viewing areas.

There was the influence of the puppet master so even the views of the three puppet players such as Li Gou were quite good. It was much higher than Bai Liu’s area. Only Bai Liu’s viewing area was deserted.

Wang Shun couldn’t bear it. He sighed and walked to Bai Liu’s viewing area.

In a situation where multiple gods bumped into each other and most of the audience couldn’t wait to watch the big god’s small TV, how could they pay attention to a newcomer? Most of the traffic of Bai Liu’s small TV was sucked away and it was normal.

[301 people liked Bai Liu’s small TV, 89 people have bookmarked Bai Liu’s small TV, 210 people are watching Bai Liu’s small TV and 0 people have charged player Bai Liu’s small TV.]

[Player Bai Liu, please work hard! Your number of likes is only 1% of Du Sanying, the player who is ranked first in the comprehensive data of the small and medium TVs in the game Exploding Last Train!]

“Du Sanying has 30,000 likes. How long has it been since the game started?” Wang Shun sighed. He saw Du Sanying immediately get the first promotion position and leave this zone to go to the central hall. Wang Shun sighed again and gave Bai Liu a like. “Come on Bai Liu, don’t fall into the nameless area.”

Du Sanying stood outside the platform and almost stuck his face to the ticket. “It’s strange. Why is the departure station and end station the same?”

The LED clock on the platform behind him had reached [00:10.] The moment it entered the 10 seconds countdown, the station went completely dark. It turned on again after a second but it was no longer the normal white lights. It was a flickering dark red light.

The subway station became red and black and the lights made the entire station look like a dark room for washing photos. At the end of the track, a train with red lights roared from the dark and deep tunnel like the red eyes of a beast desperate to devour its prey. It rushed into the station and slowly stopped in front of Du Sanying.

The female machine voice of the subway station coldly announced. “Passengers on the train have arrived at the terminal station of Antique City. Please get off the train at the destination. The train is about to start the next round of operation…”

Along with the announcement, the train doors in front of Du Sanying slowly opened. The stench of burnt meat swept out of the train doors along with the wind caused by the train arriving at the station. The strong burning smell filled Du Sanying’s nasal cavity and he couldn’t help covering his nose and mouth and coughing a few times.

Du Sanying looked up at the Line 4 train he was about to board. Under the flashing lights, Du Sanying saw that the train was empty. The handholds were swaying alone. Then one moment later, it was filled with passengers like a train during the peak period in a big city. It was so crowded that Du Sanying couldn’t get on.
