Chapter 45 (1/2)

“I suggest you use an item that can speed up movement.” Bai Liu took a look at the passengers gathered at the door. “These monsters should move very quickly.”

Mu Sicheng quickly put on a wristband that increased his movement speed and suddenly laughed strangely while eating a lollipop.

Bai Liu heard this weird laughter and turned his head. He saw Mu Sicheng with his feet on the wall of the train, grabbing onto the wall with monkey paws while also wearing a speed increase item. This was obviously a ready to escape posture.

Mu Sicheng saw Bai Liu looking at him and let go of one monkey’s paw to make a salute gesture with two fingers to Bai Liu. He stared into Bai Liu’s eyes with obvious bad intentions. “Then I will be leaving one step ahead. Bai Liu, I’m not going to participate in your plan to kill the puppet master that is full of gaps. You can do it alone.”

“In addition—” Mu Sicheng raised his eyebrow and shook a small white merfolk sculpture in his hand at Bai Liu. “Your item, the Merfolk Amulet has been taken by me. This is the price of cheating me of 2,000 points. I said that no one can make me suffer.”

“By the way Bai Liu.” Mu Sicheng moved his monkey claws and his entire body disappeared from the carriage like a gust of wind. Bai Liu could only hear Mu Sicheng’s laughter. “I hate working with people the most. This time, I’ll give you a lesson. If you can survive then don’t thank me. Bye!”

[System tip: Player Mu Sicheng has used the skill ‘Thief’s Monkey Paws’ to steal a tool (Merfolk Amulet) from the player Bai Liu’s system backpack.]

[System tip: Player Mu Sicheng has used the skill ‘Thief’s Stealth’. Movement speed +7,000.]

Mu Sicheng turned into afterimages in a dazzling manner and disappeared from in front of Bai Liu’s eyes, leaving a dumbfounded Du Sanying and a still calm Bai Liu.

Du Sanying was dumbfounded. He stared at Bai Liu and questioned him with an expression that was more shocked. He gestured back and forth between Bai Liu and the leaving Mu Sicheng. “A-Aren’t you cooperating? Why did Mu Sicheng leave you and run away? Why did he steal your things? Aren’t you friends?”

Seeing that Mu Sicheng really did act, Wang Shun sighed in a complicated manner in front of the small TV. Sure enough, Mu Sicheng stared at Bai Liu and followed him into the game because he wanted to steal an item from Bai Liu.

Siren Town was a game exclusively for newcomers. The game rarely refreshed and old players couldn’t enter and newcomers found it hard to get out. An item like the Merfolk Amulet that could be obtained by collecting the later pages in the monster book was even harder to find. Wang Shun heard that Mu Sicheng wanted to buy this Merfolk Amulet before. It was estimated that the kindness he showed to Bai Liu previously was for this item.

Then Bai Liu’s stinginess made Mu Sicheng realize that Bai Liu wouldn’t accept his affection and sell him the Merfolk Amulet. Therefore, he directly prepared to steal it from Bai Liu.

Bai Liu truly deserved to have a luck value of 0. Wang Shun sighed. Bai Liu bumped into Du Sanying, who was 100% lucky in a collection game. His object of cooperation was Mu Sicheng, who hated companions the most and had bad intentions. There was also Puppet Zhang after him to make him into a puppet…

These were simply all the mines that could be stepped on. It was hard for Bai Liu.

However, not everyone had Wang Shun’s sympathy for Bai Liu. Most of the audience was realistic. Bai Liu took the initiative to seek cooperation but Mu Sicheng backstabbed him. This disappointed some viewers who had expectations of Bai Liu.

Bai Liu originally attracted viewers of the three great gods. The rest of the audience wasn’t much. Now he made mistakes one after another. Although no audience members stepped on him, the number of people who liked his small TV was also very few. This caused the data of Bai Liu’s small TV to be quite unsightly.

[107 new people liked Bai Liu’s small TV, 161 new people have bookmarked Bai Liu’s small TV, no one charged player Bai Liu.]

[Only 120 new people are watching player Bai Liu’s small TV which is too far from the last game video data. The player Bai Liu will soon drop from the multiplayer game area to the burial mound dancing area. Please Bai Liu, please take this game seriously!]

[Welcome slogan of the burial mound dancing area to player Bai Liu: yo~ your performance is like jumping repeatedly on the lines of death ~ yo~ it is so bad that I want to laugh~ yo~ The burial mound dancing area welcomes players who don’t want to have a good game. It has prepared high level brick burial mound-shaped small TVs as a place for players to dance!]

This was in sharp contrast with Mu Sicheng’s small TV. The effect of stealing things from Bai Liu and backstabbing him made the data of Mu Sicheng’s small TV skyrocket. Mu Sicheng’s small TV followed Du Sanying’s small TV and left this area, smoothly entering the central hall.

“The burial mound dancing area?” Wang Shun’s expression sank when he saw the name of this zone and his expression became ugly. “Only players whose performance is too far away from their previous performance will fall to this area. Bai Liu’s current data might not be good but it isn’t enough for Bai Liu to fall to this area directly! How long has it been since the game started?”

Then Wang Shun soon realized why Bai Liu would directly fall to this area. It wasn’t because his performance this time was too bad. It was because his previous performance was too good.

The system evaluated it as Bai Liu… not playing seriously. It thought he wasn’t contributing so it gave Bai Liu a warning.

Wang Shun was dumbfounded and didn’t agree. Still, no matter how much he disagreed, Wang Shun couldn’t change the fact that Bai Liu was going to the burial mound dancing area. He had a heavy heart as he went to the burial mound dancing area.

There were some viewers who followed Wang Shun but more viewers frowned and sighed. They left Bai Liu’s small TV and headed to the small TVs of the other great gods.

Wang Shun came almost alone to the burial mound dancing area. The small TVs all had crosses on their heads and looked like small tombstones. Two huge wreaths were placed at the door and elegant couplets fell to the ground from the center of the wreaths. One couplet said ‘The most anticipated star’ and the other said ‘died without a burial place.’

The decorations of the burial mound dancing area was very similar to the storage room where altars were placed. The small TVs were also black and white.

Most of the players here could be described as miserable. The black and white color looked similar to a photo of the dead. At first glance, it wasn’t a sunny television area and the atmosphere was very ghostly.

The number of viewers here was also very small. Most of them were anxious and irritably cheering for the players on the small TV. They all had an expression of ‘resenting someone for failing to meet expectations and were impatient to see improvement’. This was similar to how Wang Shun’s face looked now.

This was normal because the burial mound dancing area was also called the ‘fall of new stars’. Players with too high data who were judged to not be playing seriously by the system were sent to this place.

This was also considered the ‘cold palace’ of the game hall.

There were many players who entered the cold palace but there were very few players who could leave. It was because the requirements for players to leave the burial mound dancing area was for the player’s small TV data to exceed their previous small TV data. Then the system would assign them a new promotional spot to leave.

Bai Liu’s last comprehensive data for his small TV was more than 100,000. Wang Shun had never heard of a player who could gain over 100,000 data in the burial mound dancing area. However, if Bai Liu was trapped in this burial mound dancing area then it was easy to fall directly into ‘no man’s land’ and never rise again…

Unlike Wang Shun’s current heavy mood, the forum was simply a festival for the low level players who couldn’t understand Bai Liu.

[Warm congratulations to the player Bai Liu who was blown up as the star of tomorrow for his gravestone small TV!]

[I’m in a hurry, I’m in a hurry. When will Bai Liu fall into no man’s land? I bet that he will fall in after three hours!]

[I now want to ask, where are all the people who bragged about Bai Liu wildly before? Did you go to the cold palace to accompany him? Didn’t you praise Bai Liu before? Come out and line up!]

Bai Liu knew nothing about the bloody storm and was now facing a more severe challenge.

The charred corpses from outside the train rushed into the carriages frantically. They lay on the ground in a strange posture, their heads up and sticking to their backs. Their necks seemed broken but in general, all four limbs were on the ground and moving wildly. They were like human-faced spiders with all types of normal expressions on their faces.

They were like normal passengers who were numbly looking at their phones while crowding onto the subway train with other passengers. Some passengers didn’t have time to run away and were squeezed against the window glass by the passengers who rushed in. In an instant, they were squeezed into bloody foam. Even so, it gave Bai Liu the illusion of a train during the morning rush hour.

Du Sanying dodged a dead passenger coming in and patted his chest with lingering fear. “This monster has high strength and speed.” As he spoke, he equipped himself with an item.

[System tip: Player Du Sanying has used the item ‘lucky bumper car’. Movement speed +1,890. He is lucky enough to avoid all creatures that hit you. The usage time limit is one hour.]

Du Sanying instantly sat in a pink and colorful bumper color. It was like a small car for children but Du Sanying was thin and small, so there was no sense of discordance.

Du Sanying anxiously waved at Bai Liu. “Bai Liu, come on, I’ll drive you to escape. The monsters are coming in!”

Du Sanying wasn’t casually saving Bai Liu. He had a strong sixth sense that in this game, Bai Liu was the key to clearing it. In any case, this person couldn’t die. Bai Liu’s expression was still calm. He declined Du Sanying’s help and also equipped an item.

[System tip: Player Bai Liu has equipped the item (Statue’s Shell). Defense power +100. Since this is a heavy piece of equipment, player Bai Liu’s movement speed -13.]

“Pfft!” Du Sanying saw Bai Liu wearing a heavy piece of marble armor shell and he couldn’t stand still. He knelt on the ground and sprayed his saliva. His expression cracked and he screamed and waved at Bai Liu. “Bai Liu! You have worn the wrong item! That is a defense item and will obviously slow you down. Take it off!”

Bai Liu knelt on the ground due to the weight of the marble armor that was dozens of kilograms. He couldn’t stand up but he spoke very stubbornly. “I didn’t wear it incorrectly so I won’t take it off.”

Bai Liu’s appearance caused the viewers of Du Sanying’s small TV to complain.

“What the hell is he doing? Is he giving up after falling to the burial mound area?”

“He probably doesn’t know he has fallen into that area. However, the operation of carrying a stone in a chase is worthy of being included in the bewildering action award…”

“I see Xiao Ying looking anxious and stunned! Ah, don’t save this fool! Let him kneel and die. You should run first!”

Du Sanying was going to die of his anxiety. His premonition was telling him to madly go and save Bai Liu. “Don’t you have any means of transportation? An acceleration kind! Forget it, take off this useless armor! It isn’t too late to take my car!”
