Chapter 42 (1/2)

Du Sanying hurriedly stepped into the train carriage at the last second. The cabin was extremely hot but it wasn’t the type of high temperature that would burn people to death like he imagined. The corpses hanging from the handholds and the other passengers in the carriage also stayed in place. They didn’t step forward to attack. The flames scorched Du Sanying’s hair. Although it was a bit hot, it didn’t have the real texture of flames.

Bai Liu smiled kindly at Du Sanying. “Hello, my name is Bai Liu. I am one of the players in this game.”

Du Sanying reached out his hand in a slightly embarrassed manner. “Yes, hello. I am Du Sanying…”

Mu Sicheng looked at Du Sanying with surprise like he hadn’t expected Du Sanying to be in this game. Then he soon gave a cold snort and sneered while crossing his arms. He turned his head and acted like he didn’t see this person, not even saying hello.

Du Sanying seemed to have expected that Mu Sicheng would be like this. The smile on his face became more awkward and he shrank back in the corner almost silently. In the end, he couldn’t hold back and asked, “Bai Liu, you… how did you know that you wouldn’t be attacked when you got on the carriage?”

“This should be a simple cutscene.” Bai Liu analyzed. “It is because we haven’t received the first task that will give points. It means the game hasn’t officially started so these things are probably just to frighten the players and explain the story. It won’t really kill the players.”

After that, Bai Liu glanced between Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying with interest. The two of them were obviously at odds. He turned to look at Mu Sicheng who didn’t say a word after Du Sanying came up. “Why? Do you have a hatred with this kid Du Sanying?”

Mu Sicheng stared at Du Sanying coldly with a hostile look. Du Sanying had no place to put his hands and feet and shrank back a bit helplessly, watching their conversation secretly from behind a burning corpse.

Du Sanying wasn’t very tall. He was half a head shorter than Bai Liu. The thick bottle cap glasses and the thin, small body made him look like a high school student who was overly prepared for exams. He exuded a very strong and harmless nerd air so Bai Liu who entered society called him ‘kid’.

“You will know it after playing a game with Du Sanying once.” Mu Sicheng seemed to be very uncomfortable recalling this experience and he bit his lollipop hard. “His luck value is 100 points. No matter how hard you try, he will be first in the game in the end, taking away your victory in various ways that you can’t think of.”

The audience of Du Sanying’s small TV instantly laughed.

“Is God Mu thinking of the last multiplayer game where Xiao Ying picked up what he missed by mistake and came first?”

“Xiao Ying doesn’t pick up mistakes, it is called the Sky Surrender Express. He didn’t stoop to pick it up. It was delivered by God Mu himself. I have to say that God Mu’s delivery service is still in place.”

“This is why Du Sanying doesn’t know information like the opening animation even if he is third on the rising stars ranking.” Mu Sicheng sneered. “This person lies down to win and get to the top. He has no game awareness at all. I advise you not to deal with him or all the instance clearance items, information and so on that you collect will eventually somehow fall into his hands.”

“He is lucky but those close to him are unlucky. Every time you meet Du Sanying in a game, your luck value will drop to a certain extent.”

Mu Sicheng spoke like he was looking down on Du Sanying who didn’t even dare get on the train but when Bai Liu pulled Mu Sicheng onto the burning train, Mu Sicheng was also frightened. Later, it was Bai Liu who said they hadn’t received the points task and the opening scene was probably just an animation effect. Only then did Mu Sicheng react.

Most players rarely thought of things like opening animations. Even if they did think about it, they wouldn’t dare get on the carriage with certainty. Only Bai Liu would do such a thing without hesitation.

Bai Liu, this person was a heavy gambler. If it wasn’t illegal to gamble then he might’ve gone gambling. If he guessed that the success rate was 80% then he would 100% dare to try it.

If it was the future Mu Sicheng, he would definitely not get in the train with the courageous Bai Liu so obediently. However, the current Mu Sicheng didn’t understand this attribute of Bai Liu and it was easy for him to be fooled by Bai Liu’s very determined expression.

Having said this, God Mu continued to explain Du Sanying to Bai Liu.

“No.” Mu Sicheng clicked on the game manager and showed Bai Liu his luck value panel. His expression started to sink. “My luck value has dropped from 56 to 43. Tsk, Du Sanying’s strength is becoming more and more lethal. Bai Liu, your luck value will also be affected and decreased…”

Bai Liu silently looked at Mu Sicheng. “Can the luck value in this game have a negative number?”

Mu Sicheng, “……”

Fuck, he forgot that Bai Liu’s luck value was only 0.

Du Sanying saw Mu Sicheng explaining about his ability to reduce the luck of others. Bai Liu seemed to know of his unpleasant ability. Du Sanying couldn’t help scratching his face and slightly shrank back into a corner. Then the sudden closing of the carriage door surprised him.

All the burning corpses in the carriage suddenly turned into normal passengers. They turned their heads together and smiled strangely at Bai Liu. Then they turned into ashes and disappeared as a female voice sweetly announced in the carriage, “Passengers, welcome to Line 4. The next stop—Mirror City Museum.”
