Chapter 168 (1/2)

The wind passed through the tall buildings and rustled the leaves of the trees on both sides of the open space. Tang Mo’s body froze and he turned slowly to look at the man standing still. Fu Wenduo smiled at him, his eyes calm and his lips slightly curved.

The two people looked at each other from a distance and no one spoke.

Suddenly, “Mo Tang.”

The low voice made Tang Mo’s heart trembled. He raised his eyes and stared at the tall man. The next second, he realized something and his eyes slightly widened. Something exploded inside his heart. Countless scenes flashed in front of their eyes. Their first meeting in the underground parking lot in Shanghai, the first time they entered an instance together, the tower attack game, teaming up…

Wait, was it earlier?

Tang Mo looked at Fu Wenduo with shock.

Was it during Grandmother Wolf’s hamster game or the first time they spoke through the turkey egg Momo? Or was it…

When was it?

Fu Wenduo stared at Tang Mo, watching the young man’s startled and thoughtful look. The corners of his lips raised. He wanted to move forward but without taking this step, he stopped. He was unable to move.

Tang Mo closed his eyes, his brow twisting. Then after a long time, he smiled softly. Once he opened his eyes to look at Fu Wenduo again, his eyes were calm. He heard himself laughing and asked, “What is it if it isn’t selling ourselves?”

In order to get Fu Wenduo’s ability and the full note, they had to sleep together.

But if it wasn’t to get the ability… what was it for?

Tang Mo stared closely at Fu Wenduo.

The question made Fu Wenduo quiet and he couldn’t answer for a while. The moonlight gently surrounded Tang Mo’s body. The young man wearing a white t-shirt was looking at Fu Wenduo with a smile. The eyes seemed to be saying something and seemed like they were seeing through Fu Wenduo. As long as Fu Wenduo spoke, Tang Mo could get a clue from it and discover something.

…What was Tang Mo looking for?

A sentence flashed through Fu Wenduo’s mind.

The powerful tactic understanding of this person allowed Fu Wenduo to think about it from Tang Mo’s viewpoint. He thought about what Tang Mo would currently be thinking. It was like their minds touched, the tremors in their soul were familiar and the intention in every breath was understood. Then Fu Wenduo suddenly became stunned.

The dark eyes slowly widened and in the cold night, Fu Wenduo laughed.

He asked, “Yes, if it isn’t selling ourselves… what is it?”

The next morning, Chen Shanshan brought Jack to Tang Mo and calmly opened her mouth. “Brother Tang, we will go to Tian Xuan later and then Jack will part with us there.You should first try to take away his ability. It is the body reinforcement type and your strength, speed and reflexes will greatly improve.”

Jack didn’t think too much. He had learnt about Tang Mo’s ability yesterday and he and Tang Mo were friends. Tang Mo copying his ability didn’t have much influence on him so he didn’t care. “Yes Tang, you can try it. My ability might not be as strong as Fu or Shanshan but it is decent among our Attack members.”

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo had practiced outside the small building and didn’t come back all night.

The two of them were currently standing together and Tang Mo said, “Okay Jack, can you take out your props to show us? If there is an important prop that needs to be kept secret then you don’t need to take it out.” For example, the turkey egg Momo was a rare prop that could be critical in important times. It was natural for Jack to have reservations. “You ability is powerful. Just thinking an item from you probably isn’t sufficient. I think I need to take one of your props.”

Jack nodded and dumped out everything from his backpack.

The tall and strong foreign man looked at the things on the ground and scratched his head. “This time I came to Beijing in a hurry and didn’t bring anything. I only brought a few important weapons. By the way Tang, I usually fight with my fists and rarely rely on props. Thus, I don’t have many props.”

Tang Mo, “…”

Fu Wenduo, “…”

Chen Shanshan, “…”

That was an underestimation. There were only two good props!

Jack had a very small number of props compared to ordinary players, let only Tang Mo. Who would’ve thought that a senior player who passed the black tower’s second floor and was about to challenge the third floor would only have two props on his body?

Tang Mo picked up a small, golden axe from the ground. It was a gold axe that looked very expensive but Tang Mo soon discovered that it wasn’t made of gold. He measured the weight and touched the texture. Then he looked at Jack with amazement. “Is it made of glass?”

Jack nodded.

Tang Mo knocked twice on the axe handle and small lines of words appeared on the axe.

[Prop: I’m Not a Gold Axe or Glass Axe]

[Owner: Jack]

[Quality: Rubbish]

[Level: 2]

[Attack: Very weak/strong]

[Function: A gold-plated glass axe that looks valuable but is actually very shabby. It looks like it can cut everything but it can be cut by anything. However, in the face of something that seems impossible to cut, it might play an unexpected role. The law of causality means it can cut things that can theoretically be cut but it can also cut things that theoretically can’t be cut.]

[Restrictions: It is extremely unstable. Sometimes in the face of something that theoretically can’t be cut, it might cut or not cut it. After 10 consecutive times where nothing is cut, the axe will break on its own.]

[Note: Hahaha, how unexpected! The River God shows a wicked smile.]

Jack’s other prop seemed more ordinary than this strange axe. There were five sharp, feather darts. The white feathers were diagonally inserted into the sharp dart. Chen Shanshan looked at the description of the five darts.

[Prop: Pheidippides’ Dart]

[Owner: Jack]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: 3]

[Attack: Strong]

[Function: The target shot by the dart will have to start running. They must run 40.2 kilometers before they can stop.]

[Restrictions: The target’s running route doesn’t matter as long as they are in a running state.]

[Note: Produced by the great Schrodinger, it has the same effect as the red shoes that Little Red Riding Hood wants to buy.]

The group looked at the properties of the two props and were lost in thought.
