Chapter 72: I Became a God in a Horror Game (Unlimited) (1/2)

After Bai Liu finished speaking, he lowered his head to continue tying his tie. Meanwhile, Mu Sicheng was taken aback.

During the conversation between the two, Mu Ke cried while lying on the bed. He woke up with his hands sweaty and feet twitching. He sat up and trembled violently. He subconsciously hugged Bai Liu’s white shirt in his arms. He gasped with blank eyes while still shedding tears. It was as if he hadn’t woken up from the aftermath of a nightmare.

Bai Liu whispered to him, “Mu Ke, you are alive. Calm down.”

Focus slowly returned to Mu Ke’s blank eyes. He stared at Bai Liu in front of him, tears accumulating bit by bit in his red eyes. The white shirt held tightly in his hands was also released by him. Bai Liu noticed that this person wanted to pounce on him and stepped back slightly, patting Mu Ke’s shoulder comfortably. “Now you are back in reality.”

“Bai Liu, wooo, Bai Liu.” Mu Ke howled like a water pipe torn off by excessive fear. Only seeing Bai Liu could make him calmer. His hands firmly grasped the corner of Bai Liu’s clothes as he looked up at Bai Liu, tears gushing down.

Mu Ke’s voice was hoarse. “I thought I would die in that school! They wanted to strangle me!”

Bai Liu lowered his eyes and spoke softly, “However, you didn’t die so you did a good job. You survived. It is over, Mu Ke.”

Mu Ke cried non-stop, his chest moving violently up and down. Halfway through his crying, he hiccuped. Then he raised his wet eyelashes to look at Bai Liu, asking very lightly and cautiously. “I passed the instance according to what you said. I am qualified right? You will try to help me survive in the game as much as possible, right?”

“I will do my best to train you so you can grow stronger and survive on your own,” Bai Liu answered readily. Then his tone changed and became a lot crueler. “However, if you just want to rely on me then you will become more worthless. I promise that I will quickly give up my investment in you. Do you understand, Mu Ke? I don’t like wasting energy on things that don’t pay off.”

The tearful Mu Ke nodded frantically. He choked up, his beautiful eyes filled with tears like a good-for-nothing child who was finally acknowledged. “I will! I promise I will, Bai Liu!”

“I want to arrange for you to follow me in the next game.” Bai Liu handed a piece of toilet paper to Mu Ke who was still crying. He squinted at Mu Ke. “If you are willing to follow me then we will clear 50 instances in 60 days. I want to take you to the league but at the same time, I need you to grow up quickly.”

Mu Ke took the toilet paper that Bai Liu handed over and raised his head in amazement. Bai Liu looked at him without any fluctuations. “Can you do it? If you can’t, I’ll arrange other routes for you to train. You don’t have to follow me.”

Before Bai Liu’s words had finished, Mu Ke bit his lower lip. His grip tightened on the toilet paper Bai Liu handed him and his shoulders trembled as he spoke. “You need me to do this? Then I can do it.”

“Mu Ke, have you really thought about it?” Bai Liu asked in a flat tone. “Mu Ke, I am used to people looking directly at me when discussing things. Lift your head.”

Mu Ke slowly raised his head with some trembling. Bai Liu clearly saw the expression that Mu Ke wanted to hide.

The young man who had a heart disease kneeled on Bai Liu’s bed with red eyes. His hands were clenched into fists on his knees and his body trembled a bit uncontrollably as he looked up at Bai Liu in a pitiful manner. Mu Ke was obviously scared by Bai Liu’s words about 50 instances in 60 days. His uncontrollable fear made his eyes fill with tears and he was barely holding back from crying.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this miserable young man was a good-looking and pitiful person. Everyone would feel soft when seeing him but Bai Liu just asked calmly, “Mu Ke, you have other choices. In this game, there are many players who get points from the audience by relying on their appearance. You can also take this road. It will be very hard if you follow me. Mu Ke, think about it before answering me.”

“Follow me to play in the league or become a good-looking player relying on charged points with my help. You can survive both ways. Which way do you choose?”

Bai Liu’s eyes widened as he looked at the stunned Mu Ke. “Follow me and you will grow very quickly. From the perspective of personal needs and your own abilities development, my suggestion is that you try and follow me first to raise your panel attributes. It is best to follow me into the league. If you can’t follow me, you can help me in other places. I can find other players for the league. You are just one of my backup options. I am simply making up the numbers with you.”

“So your choice?” Bai Liu extended a hand to Mu Ke. He looked at Mu Ke quietly, waiting for Mu Ke’s answer.

Mu Ke knew about the league. He had also seen the fireworks and system notifications when he came out of the game. However, he came out quickly because he was too scared after clearing the game.

Any newcomer would want to quickly escape the game after clearing it. Only Bai Liu with his problematic brain circuits would wander slowly to collect information. Mu Ke’s psychological quality meant he couldn’t maintain a relatively peaceful state of mind after clearing the instance.

After clearing the game, the feeling of drowning made Mu Ke recall the suffocating feeling of drowning in Siren Town and there was no Bai Liu to hold out a hand to him.

The environment without Bai Liu made Mu Ke too scared. Bai Liu had rescued him from the bottom of the sea and gave Mu Ke a strong psychological support and influence. In Mu Ke’s mind, Bai Liu was higher than the game. Bai Liu could even cross the system barrier to save him and this gave Mu Ke an unparalleled sense of security. So when Mu Ke encountered a scene that almost killed him again, he had a subconscious need for a safe environment. The mentally collapsed Mu Ke logged out to Bai Liu’s place in a dazed state.

Mu Ke was afraid of the league. He knew this must be a game scene tens of thousands of times more dangerous than the single player game he had just passed. A newcomer like him must die in the game.

Mu Ke blinked his red eyes. His heart beat quickly and his long eyelashes were stained with tears. He looked at Bai Liu’s hand and his heartbeat gradually became faster. Mu Ke knew that Bai Liu was a very cold person and this person wouldn’t save him every time. The first time he saved Mu Ke was for the added value of the Merfolk Amulet. Now this thing had been used up by Bai Liu.

Bai Liu wasn’t a good man but he was a very trustworthy person.

Mu Ke stared up at Bai Liu, his eyes vigilant and tentative like a small animal encountering a threatening scene. “If I follow you, will you guarantee to keep me alive in the game as much as possible?”

Bai Liu whispered patiently, “I promise.”

All of Mu Ke’s sense of security toward Bai Liu originated from this. As long as this person uttered a promise, he would never break the promise no matter how desperate the situation. Bai Liu promised that he wouldn’t give up on Mu Ke easily and would try his best to keep Mu Ke alive. The league might sound terrible but—
