"Ding dong..."
"Su Lei, Cao Yang, Gao Xin, Jin ii..."
Number 97 reported twelve nas in a row. Gao Xin took a deep breath and walked through the light curtain with Su Lei, both wearing nothing but a pair of shorts.
After coming out, everyone was stunned; it wasn’t a hallway, nor was it any sort of field, but another enclosed tal room.
They waited a while, there was no movent, nor could they hear any sounds of movent.
But everyone knew that the place they were in was moving, it was just moving laterally, not giving that sensation of weightlessness like an elevator.
About half a minute later, a door opened in front of them, and the situation beca clear.
It was a vast room, big enough to comfortably fit a four-story luxury house with a garden! It probably covered two acres!
They were outside the courtyard, and there were already eight people standing at the gate.
Gao Xin quickly surveyed the scene; the attire of the early arrivals was nothing special, and their expressions were mostly of bewildernt. These people who arrived first, upon confirming the newcors from the elevator and seeing that most were in prisoner attire, imdiately revealed a hint of schadenfreude.
This led him to conclude that these early arrivals were also Glass people.
"Phew," he breathed a sigh of relief. It was good if they were all Glass people; the chances of survival greatly increased.
Gao Xin took the lead, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and found a spot to stand, not wanting others besides Su Lei to co close.
That’s when he noticed a bald man staring at him, and Gao Xin stared back fiercely.
Their eyes t, and Gao Xin didn’t say a word, locking gazes with the man.
In the end, unable to figure out Gao Xin’s background, the bald man backed down, avoiding Gao Xin’s stare.
He then turned and glared at Cao Yang and the others, "Newcors, are you NPCs or players?"
The ten new arrivals in prison clothes exchanged looks and said hesitantly, "Players."
None of the newcors who had arrived with Gao Xin had signed the NPC agreent.
The bald man raised his eyebrows, "You all have pretty good luck, eh? Who brought you here?"
Cao Yang hastened to say, "It was Lord Sasaki."
Imdiately, the bald man said, "Oh, it’s Lord Beast Fang."
"Beast Fang?" Cao Yang was taken aback.
The bald man said disdainfully, "You don’t even know that Lord Sasaki is codenad Beast Fang?"
Gao Xin was internally rolling his eyes. They were all new players; of course, it was normal not to know. The guy was just showing off.
But Cao Yang showed a look of realization, seeing that the man was an old hand, he approached him to ingratiate himself, "So it turns out Lord Sasaki is codenad Beast Fang. May I ask how I should address you, big brother?"
"You’re not worthy to know my na, just call Brother Guang," the bald man said coolly.
Cao Yang asked, "Brother Guang, what kind of ga is this? You must have participated more than once, right?"
The bald man replied indifferently, "Not that many tis, I’ve just survived a few."
Seeing he had survived several tis, several newcors gathered around him, calling him Brother Guang, hoping he would share his wisdom.
The bald man looked pleased but still kept a stern face as he said, "The Redemption Ga. Your only goal is to survive, and as for the redemption tickets, no one is allowed to hoard them; they must be turned over to the organization. Did you hear that?"
The crowd responded in unison, feeling like they were listening to a lecture from Sasaki.
The bald man nodded slightly, "This is just the lowest level ga. As long as you comply, I’ll try my best to keep you alive."
A few newcors were teary-eyed with gratitude, expressing their desire to stick close to Brother Guang.
Brother Guang then led them to the side, "Ask any questions you have, I do have so experience."
In the anti, they whispered amongst themselves, seemingly having ford a newbie alliance.
Gao Xin actually wanted to ask questions too, as he had a bellyful of them, but he held back and ignored them.
At the sa ti, he noticed that among the other early arrivals, a beautiful woman rolled her eyes, especially when she heard the bald man boast of his ’several tis’ of survival, displaying a speechless expression.
Clearly, the bald man wasn’t as seasoned as he made out to be. Maybe he’d only survived twice. His recruitnt of newcors probably wasn’t out of kindness; he might be using them as cannon fodder.
However, after waiting several minutes, Gao Xin started to feel uneasy.
Isn’t it starting yet? Are we waiting for more people? Where can I see the ga content and the number of participants?
Has the ga already begun, and they just didn’t know as the new arrivals?
Gao Xin leaned against the wall, unresponsive, but sweat was forming on his body.
He guessed that maybe they had to call Number 97 to ask about the ga, but he was afraid not to, so he waited for soone else to do it first.
Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait too long before the woman nad Jin ii figured it out.
Among the newcors, Gao Xin and Su Lei stood bare-chested by the wall, while Cao Yang and the others followed Brother Guang, leaving only Jin ii and another middle-aged man with a fierce countenance.
ii, growing impatient, looked up and said, "Number 97, when does the ga start?"
Number 97 indeed replied, "’Catching a Mouse’, required number of participants: 24. Four more are yet to arrive."
ii nodded and asked further, "Catching a Mouse, is that the na of the ga? What are the rules?"
Number 97 answered, "Rules will be announced once all participants have arrived."
With that said, everyone could only settle down and continue to wait.
Soon after, Gao Xin noticed that Brother Guang’s group was looking his way again.
He sighed inwardly, "Cao Yang and the others must have said I’m a newcor as well..."
Gao Xin couldn’t do much about it; his action was rely to give himself another option, not expecting everyone to be a fool.
After all, it wasn’t harmful, and might even co in handy.
"Hey, kid, you glared at pretty fiercely before, eh? What are you playing at! Why don’t you go ahead and strip off those shorts too?" Brother Guang led his group over, his presence overwhelming.
Gao Xin said nothing, just stared coldly at him, his fists clenched tight.
