Chapter 85.1: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)
In fact, it was no wonder that Miao Feichi thought of Mu Sicheng. It was because Bai Liu had only played two games and he hadn’t joined a guild. Even if he was a control player, he needed players to control.
The control skills were invalid in the game hall so it meant Bai Liu could only develop accomplices in the game, not offline. However, this person had only played two games in total. The first one was a single player game and in the second multiplayer game, Bai Liu controlled Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng.
Then Du Sanying came out and made it very clear he was free of Bai Liu’s control. This guy’s luck value was too high and he could always find a way out of any predicament. It was expected that Bai Liu couldn’t control him for long.
Liu Huai and Fang Ke were controlled by Bai Liu through Puppet Zhang. After Puppet Zhang died, these two escaped from his control. Therefore, only Mu Sicheng remained under Bai Liu’s control.
So when speaking of Bai Liu’s accomplice, the first one to come to Miao Feichi’s mind was Mu Sicheng. Miao Feichi was very concerned about Mu Sicheng. It was because Mu Sicheng had great potential and strong skills. Miao Feichi wasn’t afraid of Mu Sicheng but he would be a bit annoyed by Mu Sicheng, a player with strong judgment and high movement speed. Miao Feichi could fight Mu Sicheng head-on but it would be very difficult.
Mu Sicheng’s personal thieving skill was very strong. If he and Bai Liu worked together to protect Bai Liu, the thief’s movement speed and strong ability to attract aggro would definitely bring trouble to a quick attacking player like Miao Feichi. It was just like how Mu Sicheng had once relied on his strong judgment to steal items from Spades, the player with the highest attack power in the game.
No quick attacking player would like Mu Sicheng, including Miao Feichi. Previously at the welfare home’s registration office, Miao Feichi had specifically checked for Mu Sicheng’s name and hadn’t found it. However, Miao Feichi had limited trust for this type of written thing. He had to confirm it for himself.
The identities of Liu Huai and Liu Jiayi were confirmed directly with Liu Huai in the cafeteria. After all, Liu Huai was a player from the Kings Guild and Miao Feichi wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for him unless there was a conflict of interest. Liu Huai also wouldn’t disobey some small requirements of Miao Feichi, a player with a higher level than Puppet Zhang. For example, confirming his identity.
In the game, the most direct and quickest way to confirm a player’s identity was to look at the player’s system panel. Liu Huai directly showed Miao Feichi his system panel which showed his secondary identity as his sister Liu Jiayi.
It was just that the credibility of this approach wasn’t necessarily high, especially for players like Bai Liu who had a control skill. Therefore, Miao Feichi confirmed it in multiple ways. He had Liu Huai use his personal skill and checked some information about the Kings Guild before finally confirming Liu Huai’s identity.
There were six players in Love Welfare Institute. Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang occupied two spots while Liu Huai and his sister occupied two. Bai Liu occupied one and the only one left was this person. Miao Feichi’s eyes narrowed.
“Are you really not Bai Liu’s accomplice, Mu Sicheng?”
Mu Ke was a bit confused when he heard this and he shook his head. “I’m not. I’m just an ordinary player.”
Once again, the scale shifted towards the truth.
Miao Feichi instructed, “Open your system panel and show me.”
Mu Ke honestly showed Miao Feichi his attributes panel and even his warehouse.
He had no personal skills. His panel attributes weren’t low at C+ but they were too far behind Miao Feichi. The warehouse was even messier. There were all types of things in the warehouse such as a fire torch with 10 minutes of usage left, campus notes, a bundle of ropes, a keyboard with missing keycaps and a merfolk statue.
“He really seems to be a normal player.” After seeing Mu Ke’s panel, Miao Gaojiang came to a conclusion from where he was watching to the side.
Miao Feichi clicked his tongue. “Wasn’t Mu Sicheng controlled by him? Why didn’t he follow?”
“Mu Sicheng is a thief. He has a lot of channels to sell and buy goods so it isn’t unusual for him to get an item that can get rid of Bai Liu’s control.” Miao Gaojiang wasn’t surprised. The fact that Mu Sicheng didn’t come meant it would be a lot easier for Miao Feichi.
Mu Ke listened to the conversation between Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang and lowered his head while clenching his fists. Mu Sicheng was so much better than him, so strong that these two top players would be careful in front of him. If Mu Sicheng accompanied Bai Liu to this game then Bai Liu wouldn’t be so adventurous.
Mu Ke knew in his heart that he wasn’t a match for Mu Sicheng… it was because he didn’t have Mu Sicheng’s personal skill. His development time was also much shorter than Mu Sicheng. However, he wasn’t reconciled.
He wasn’t reconciled that Bai Liu trusted him so much but he still couldn’t grow to the point of helping Bai Liu like Mu Sicheng could. No one had ever been willing to pin so much hope on him. This was because Mu Ke was sick and couldn’t do anything. It was a burden to have hope in him. It was also a waste.
