Chapter 57 (1/2)

Mu Sicheng was taken aback and his expression sank. “You mean, there are two monsters on this page?”

Bai Liu nodded and continued to analyze it. “Brother Thieves. If the younger brother was the stupid-looking strong type then I would design the older brother as an extremely fast moving with high stealing skills type. Once the player accumulates a certain number of fragments, the older brother will be triggered before the level is cleared. Then the player’s fragments will be stolen to increase the difficulty of the game.”

“However, that is Du Sanying. Can his things really be stolen?” Mu Sicheng was skeptical. “This guy is 100% lucky and no one has ever taken things from him.”

Bai Liu replied, “That is only if he can maintain the 100% luck.”

“I took advantage of Du Sanying’s too high luck to block Brother Thief for six stops. The balance of this game was broken by me. I think the system will lower Du Sanying’s luck value to maintain the balance.”

Mu Sicheng was stunned. He remembered in Siren Town how the system said that Bai Liu broke the balance of the game. In order to restrict Bai Liu, it forced down Bai Liu’s value and increased the number of monsters…

A Du Sanying who wasn’t 100% lucky… Mu Sicheng looked at Du Sanying in a daze. He was awkwardly climbing into his small car, preparing to guide away Brother Thief. A bit of a chill shot down his spine. A Du Sanying who wasn’t lucky only had a C-grade attributes panel. An attack from a monster would be similar to Bai Liu being attacked. If he wasn’t 100% lucky, Du Sanying would die.

“If you force Du Sanying to lure them, he will lure them.” Bai Liu continued. “Even if his luck value only drops from 100 to 99, this means Brother Thief tripping 99 out of 100 times. He just needs to catch Du Sanying one time—”

Mu Sicheng stared directly at Bai Liu. There were no fluctuations in Bai Liu’s eyes. “—He will die. Even so, Du Sanying must lure the pair of thieves. It is because the health of the rest of us is below 30. Brother Thief can easily kill us with a punch. If Du Sanying doesn’t pull him away, we simply can’t collect the fragments from the passengers.”

The train doors finally opened and the passengers poured in. The others followed Bai Liu’s previous arrangements to grab the fragments from the passengers. Du Sanying once again took his small car that was almost scrapped and was ready to lead Brother Thief away. As a result, everyone saw Brother Thief’s charred chest wriggle twice.

The Younger Brother Thief let out two chuckles and a pair of dark, sharp hands came out of his chest to attack Du Sanying. Du Sanying had just sat down and was lucky enough to avoid the disaster but—

Du Sanying touched his face in a dumbfounded manner. There was a scratch on his face and blood dripped down from it. He was hurt. This was his first injury in the game.

[System tip: Player Du Sanying has been attacked by Older Brother Thief. HP -2, mental value -2.]

[System tip (for everyone): Since all players have survived and no one has died, player Du Sanying’s luck value will be reduced from now on in order to maintain the balance of the game. Please give up on relying on him and rely on your own strength to pass the level.]

[Player Du Sanying’s current luck value is 98.]

Brother Thief’s chest was pulled apart from the inside, his cheeks were split from the middle and eyes grew from his black brain into a baby-like dark head. This brain head’s eyes were surrounded by burned coal paint but the white eyeballs were still turning around in the eye sockets. He looked around and exposed a full mouthful of white teeth. It looked like he was grinning with pride.

His two feet were hooked on Younger Brother Thief’s burned ribs and his body swung outside. His two hands were only black bones, dry like coal but incredibly long and flexible. His fingers were like spiders and his long fingers danced quickly. His hand came from the side and slid across Du Sanying’s head so fast he was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Du Sanying was lucky enough to dodge back but he was once again injured.

[System tip: Player Du Sanying has been attacked by Older Brother Thief. HP -2, mental value -2. The luck value has decreased again and luck is -2.]

[The Exploding Last Train Monster Book has refreshed—Brother Thief (2/3)]

[Monster Name: Older Brother Thief]

[Features: Extremely fast movement speed (3,400 points in movement speed, flames have a bonus effect) and good at stealing.]

[Weaknesses: ??? (Unexplored)]

[Attack method: Scratching and stealing]

Du Sanying gritted his teeth and ignored the blood on his face. He turned over and got into the car to run as Bai Liu had said. Even if his current luck value wasn’t 100%, a luck value of 96 was enough to help distract the Brother Thieves for a period of time. However, since he was unlucky, Du Sanying had to face the consequences of confronting the pair of powerful thief brothers alone and was likely to… die.

Du Sanying was now very clear in his heart.

Currently, there was no one who could stand a round with the thief brothers except for him, whose health was almost full.

There was no one to help him. His luck value had pushed him into this position so he would take responsibility for everyone. Even if he wasn’t lucky, Du Sanying wouldn’t escape from the battlefield and watch Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng die.

Du Sanying stepped on the accelerator of his little bumper car with a bitter face. This was obviously a death mission but his mood wasn’t sad. It was… strange.

He had always been the person to pick up mistakes who was despised and hated by everyone. This was the first time he took on the important task of attracting the monster’s aggro. Since Bai Liu gave him the task, Bai Liu never doubted that he wouldn’t complete it even though Du Sanying was a very clumsy guy who was known as a vase player.

It was very strange to be trusted wholeheartedly by Bai Liu. Du Sanying might’ve been reluctant at first but he had developed an unspeakable sense of trust and obedience toward Bai Liu. He had an intuition—even if his luck value dropped to 0, Bai Liu had a way and wouldn’t let him die easily. He wouldn’t let Du Sanying die, just like Mu Sicheng.

Du Sanying trusted his intuition.

The back of Du Sanying’s car was smashed by the thief brothers chasing behind him. Although the back of the car was thrown away and stuck in a chair, Du Sanying was lucky not to be thrown out. It was just that Older Brother Thief’s cooperation in the attack injured him again. The fire of Younger Brother Thief’s fist spread all the way from the back of the car, burning Du Sanying’s eye sockets. He gritted his teeth and wiped the blood that flowed from the blow.

[System tip: Player Du Sanying has been attacked by Older Brother Thief. HP-20, mental value -20.]

“Du Sanying, hold on for a while. Drag it out until our side collects all the broken lenses. Can you hold on?” Bai Liu seemed to notice the situation over here and asked in a loud voice.

Du Sanying coughed twice, his face calm. He placed his hands on the steering wheel of the go-kart, stepped on the accelerator to the full and answered loudly to Bai Liu, “I will try my best!”

Bai Liu laughed. “Then the rear will be given to you, Du Sanying.”

As Mu Sicheng helped to collect the broken lenses, he looked a bit anxiously at Bai Liu. “Du Sanying’s attributes panel is only C-rated. The only advantage of this guy is that his luck value is 100%. Now his luck isn’t 100%. Do you really think he can hold on against the pair of thieves? If he drops the ball then it will be very difficult for us to defend back here!”

Bai Liu honestly replied, “I’m not sure he can survive.”

“However, he agreed with me and I assumed he can do it.” Bai Liu’s voice was calm. “It is just like in the original plan when you weren’t sure if you could stay awake with a mental value of only 10. I assumed you could do it.”

Mu Sicheng paused. “What if Du Sanying can’t support it?”

Bai Liu’s tone was calm. “Then there is you and me.”

Du Sanying lay against the steering wheel, dizzy and retching out a mouthful of blood. His luck had just failed him. Under the interference of the Older Brother Thief, Du Sanying had to experience a hard blow from Younger Brother Thief to protect the broken lenses. Du Sanying might’ve blocked it with an item but the damage was still very serious.

His health and mental value had fallen below the safety line.

[System tip: Player Du Sanying has been attacked by Older Brother Thief. HP -20, mental value -20.]

Du Sanying raised his head and drank a can of mental bleach to restore his mental value. He was still a bit dizzy. Mental value only represented the stability of his mental world. However, his physical strength and mental value decreased and the fatigue brought about by it couldn’t be restored by the mental bleach. Due to the consumption brought about by various factors, Du Sanying was close to the limit.

This pair of thief brothers was too difficult!

Younger Brother Thief’s attack power was very strong and his movement speed was relatively slow. Du Sanying could still get rid of him by moving fast. However, Older Brother Thief had a movement speed of over 3,000 points!

Du Sanying couldn’t get rid of him despite using all his items! In addition, these two monsters would cooperate!

Older Brother Thief giggled. Younger Brother Thief threw him and he landed on the front of Du Sanying’s car. He stretched out his dark claws toward Du Sanying to steal his broken lenses. Du Sanying gritted his teeth and slammed the steering wheel, frantically swinging the front of the car to try and throw Older Brother Thief down. His car was almost like a spinning top spun by Du Sanying. Du Sanying himself was about to throw up but Older Brother Thief wasn’t thrown off. Du Sanying couldn’t help it. He had to use an item to get rid of Older Brother Thief stuck to the front of the car.
