Chapter 73: I Became a God in a Horror Game (Unlimited) (1/2)
The boss took Mu Ke away and Mu Sicheng woke up.
He leaned lazily back against Bai Liu’s chair and picked up the coat that Bai Liu gave him. Originally, Mu Sicheng wanted to strongly prevent Bai Liu from participating in the game but he soon found that Bai Liu was determined. Considering Bai Liu’s style, Mu Sicheng thought that Bai Liu’s heart wasn’t easily shaken.
Mu Sicheng had watched with cold eyes as Bai Liu brought Mu Ke onto his ship. Then he fell asleep after realizing he couldn’t easily shake Bai Liu’s thoughts. All Mu Sicheng could do was seriously tell Bai Liu that he wouldn’t be foolish and participate with Bai Liu in this dangerous league.
However, the coat that Bai Liu gave him softened Mu Sicheng’s tone. “How did you manage to fool that little beauty onto your damn boat?”
“You called Mu Ke by ‘little beauty’. Are you gay?” Bai Liu glanced at Mu Sicheng. “Is Mu Ke’s type sexually attractive to you?”
Mu Sicheng instantly choked up. “I am a straight man! Don’t you understand a joke?!”
Bai Liu nodded casually. “I understand. Then looking at your appearance right now, you should have something to tell me?”
Before Mu Sicheng could open his mouth, he found a seat and sat opposite Mu Sicheng. Bai Liu sat very comfortably but he brought a sense of oppression to Mu Sicheng. Mu Sicheng had been slouching lazily in Bai Liu’s chair but now he couldn’t help sitting up straight.
Bai Liu stared directly at Mu Sicheng. “I guess you want to tell me that you will never participate in this gaming competition.”
“Can you give me a reason to convince me?” Bai Liu leaned back against the desk and tapped on it with his fingers. “Why aren’t you willing to participate in this type of competition?”
“The mortality rate is high, the risk is high, the number of people isn’t enough and the number of instances isn’t enough.” Bai Liu stated them one after another before looking at Mu Sicheng. “You can let me worry about all of this as long as you participate. Do you have any other concerns?”
Mu Sicheng almost wanted to laugh at Bai Liu’s calm and idle look.
If it was before the instance, he might’ve been fooled by Bai Liu but now Mu Sicheng wasn’t the original Mu Sicheng. After one instance, Mu Sicheng had a clear idea about Bai Liu’s character—his gambling nature wasn’t very good.
Even if the success rate was low, this person Bai Liu would dare to try it as long as the profit was high enough.
“Those are all the main issues I am worried about.” Mu Sicheng had a rare serious tone. “Bai Liu, the league really isn’t a joke. The player death rate is very high. There is no need to give up your real life for this game. This game might bring a lot of things but you can earn points slowly with your strength. This is more secure. In addition to the game, you always have to leave some retreat for your real life…”
“Real life?” Bai Liu repeated this sentence with a soft voice. He waited for Mu Sicheng to finish his persuasion before asking a seemingly irrelevant question. “What do you think about the single player game that Mu Ke just played?”
Mu Sicheng was startled. He didn’t expect Bai Liu to mention this suddenly but Bai Liu had discussed it with Mu Ke just now. Mu Sicheng had been sleepy at the time but he had listened.
The last game Mu Ke played was called ‘Day of Leaving School’ and it was a game with a bit of a Japanese style campus background. The content of the game wasn’t the place that attracted Mu Sicheng’s attention the most. The point that Mu Sicheng was most attracted to was—
Mu Ke said that the school in the game had a prototype. It was the private high school where he studied in Japan. It was haunted because a girl committed suicide by jumping from a building and many students died intermittently.
Apart from Mu Ke, everyone in his dormitory died in all sorts of bizarre ways. This was the important reason why Mu Ke confused the game with reality and brought out injuries. The high school in the game was exactly the same as the high school he went to. It was similar to what Bai Liu had experienced. The prototype of Exploding Last Train was the last train that Bai Liu had once got on and exploded.
Mu Sicheng was silent for a few seconds. “I don’t think it is a coincidence. This is two games in a row that have prototypes based in reality.”
“Yes, that is what I also think.”
Bai Liu pulled out a piece of paper from his desk. “So I personally feel that there are three possible explanations for this.”
Bai Liu was used to writing things down when he had ideas, especially when Bai Liu confirmed that their memories could be tampered with at will. Since the text of specific ‘banned’ information would disappear, Bai Liu just wrote down some simple keywords. Once he wrote it down, he turned the paper around with his fingers to show Mu Sicheng. Bai Liu’s tone when explaining was very steady.
