Chapter 43 (1/2)
This system notification was broadcasted over the subway radio. In other words, everyone could hear Bai Liu triggering the main task.
Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng were both taken aback. They had watched Bai Liu leaning against the subway train while playing with the coin in his hand.
Just now, Bai Liu had been sitting in a daze on the train while Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying actively looked for clues in the carriage. Bai Liu had told them that he wanted to sort out the information in his brain and just sat in his seat without moving, making Mu Sicheng speechless.
Bai Liu had told Mu Sicheng everything he knew about the bombing but Mu Sicheng didn’t think too much about it since the focus was to find clues in the carriage to trigger the main task.
Exploding Last Train was a collection-oriented horror game. According to Mu Sicheng’s game experience, it was necessary to find the first item to collect in order to trigger the main task. The thing Mu Sicheng didn’t know was that as long as one parsed out the key thing needed to be collected from the game background, it could also trigger the main collection task.
In fact, this couldn’t be blamed on Mu Sicheng’s failure to think deeply. It was due to a fixed mindset. Generally speaking, there wasn’t enough information when logging into the game. They truly only could trigger the task by finding the first thing to collect on the map.
However, Bai Liu was a bug. He was a newcomer and a game designer. He didn’t have this type of fixed thinking. He was used to thinking about how the game was designed from the background of the game. In addition, Bai Liu knew enough background information. He simply reversed things to find what he needed to collect. He hit on it right away.
Hearing the notification that Bai Liu triggered the main task, Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying simultaneously turned their heads to see Bai Liu resting in his seat.
Du Sanying and Bai Liu weren’t familiar with each other so he couldn’t go up and ask. Still, his eyes staring at Bai Liu were full of curiosity. He wanted to know how this person had triggered the main task without moving.
Mu Sicheng wasn’t so scrupulous. He stepped forward and asked the question in his mind. “How did you trigger the main task? You didn’t move!”
This was also the voice of the audience. The moment the system notification came out, many people were stunned stupid. No one thought that in a horror game with the third and fourth on the rising stars rankings and String Puppet Master, the first one to actually trigger the main task was a newcomer! It wasn’t scientific at all!
“Damn! How did he trigger it? I swear he hasn’t moved from start to finish!”
“…Could it be that he just sat on a broken lens and triggered the task? Hiss, my ass hurts suddenly.”
“Doesn’t this type of good thing usually happen to Xiao Ying? How come it happened to this newcomer?”
Mu Sicheng directly lifted Bai Liu up and looked at Bai Liu’s seat in a puzzled manner. “Did you sit on a broken lens and trigger the main task?”
Bai Liu clenched his fists in an expressionless manner. “Mu Sicheng, let me down.”
The 1.76 meter Bai Liu hated others doing this to him! As a child, Bai Liu’s dream was to cut off the ankles of everyone taller than him with a machete! If someone actually dared to pick him up like this then Bai Liu would let them understand what a crime it was to grow tall. If it wasn’t that Bai Liu needed to use Mu Sicheng—
Bai Liu stopped his overly tyrannical thoughts while Mu Sicheng felt a chill shoot down his back. He put down Bai Liu hesitantly and turned to look at him. “How did you trigger the task without the lens? You didn’t move at all.”
“How did I not move?” Bai Liu patted himself where he was touched by Mu Sicheng. He confirmed there was no dust and kindly looked up at Mu Sicheng. “My mind was moving, Mu Sicheng.”
Mu Sicheng, “……” Bai Liu stared at him like he was stupid and he felt insulted.
Once Bai Liu sorted out his clothes, he told Mu Sicheng, “Haven’t I told you the key information? Can’t you figure it out yourself? What is your intelligence? You can’t think of anything?”
Mu Sicheng, “……”
‘You fucking told me about the mirror worth 100 million yuan and that you would kill the guard and steal the collections collecting a lot of money from selling the collections. What fucking key information is this? In addition, Bai Liu you pervert. Stop looking at me like I’m a low-level creature!’
Bai Liu clapped his hands and explained to Mu Sicheng as he walked. Du Sanying cautiously followed behind them. Bai Liu deliberately didn’t lower his volume and Du Sanying was shocked when he heard it from behind. It could actually be inferred like this.
The audience was also startled.
“What is the name of this new player? His thinking is a bit interesting. I want to watch his small TV.”
“…This is the first time I’ve seen someone trigger the main task first before Du Sanying in a collection game. This newcomer is awesome. He can actually trigger it faster than the 100% lucky Du Sanying.”
“The main task is to collect the broken lenses but we don’t know the exact number to collect…” Mu Sicheng sucked on his lollipop while glancing at Du Sanying who was pretending to be searching behind them. Then Mu Sicheng licked his sugar-stained lips a bit violently. “You just told him the information directly? Wait until he finds a lot of mirror fragments later.”
“This guy is lucky and is very good at finding things. Even the lenses we find are likely to fall into Du Sanying’s hands in various strange ways. Aren’t you going to guard against him?”
Bai Liu looked strangely at Mu Sicheng. “Why should I guard against him?”
