Chapter 647: Chapter 368 The Despicable Players (Part 1)_2 Chapter 647: Chapter 368 The Despicable Players (Part 1)_2 The Goddess of Art began producing bubbles in midair, and these bubbles ford a string of text: “Yes.”
“You’re not good at much else, but your performance art is pretty impressive. So, what’s my ranking now?”
The Goddess of Art spat out a large number of bubbles again, quickly assembling them into a leaderboard.
On today’s leaderboard, Liuzi found his rank within the top one hundred; it seed he’d done quite well, having exposed quite a few problematic individuals.
However, his heart skipped a beat when he saw who was in first place.
Liuzi had played hard for two hours, and his final score was twelve points.
Xien Waidao, on the other hand, had played for only one hour, and his score had incredibly reached one hundred and twenty points, making Liuzi suspect the other might have cheated.
But knowing Xien Waidao as he did, it would be more surprising if he hadn’t done sothing fishy.
He began to suspect that Xien Waidao had sent all the ghosts to the black channel, but seeing his accuracy rate closing in on 99%, Liuzi felt that the other might genuinely know so tricks.
Realizing the top spot was occupied by soone he knew, the Goddess of Art stopped pretending to be a jellyfish.
She floated over to Liuzi, curiously looking at Xien Waidao’s points, then said to Liuzi, “Looks like Xien Waidao did pretty well.”
Afterward, she went for a look around Ga Inn and then said to Liuzi, “I saw his strategy, do you want to know about it?”
“…No, I want to do it myself.”
“What are you trying to prove?”
“You don’t understand,” Liuzi said, covering his head, “based on what I know about him, he was trounced by in ‘Immortal Road,’ so he’d definitely try to turn the tables. Now that ‘Not Immortal Road’ gives him an edge, he’d surely taunt in his post. If I looked, he would definitely say, ‘So-called hardcore players, how hardcore are you really? Probably not even as much as .’ So, I absolutely won’t look; if I did, I would have lost.”
The Goddess of Art couldn’t believe it, glanced at Liuzi, then went back to look at the post, only to find Xien Waidao’s comnt to be exactly as Liuzi had described.
Although these two didn’t get along normally, they seed to understand each other so well, each able to predict the other’s reaction.
If their genders were different, she and Mukuai 1234 probably wouldn’t stand a chance.
anwhile, Liuzi, still holding his head, continued to ponder.
If Xien Waidao could finish quickly and well, it ant there were definitely shortcuts in the ga, and Liuzi needed to find them fast; otherwise, he would lose.
Looking at the ghosts still waiting for inspection, an idea suddenly struck Liuzi, and he asked, “How’s the mory of ghosts?”
“As you’ve seen, their mory is extraordinarily bad. Even the things written in the Soul Manual are easily forgotten, let alone other things.”
“But the mory of the aberrant ones is excellent.”
“Right.”
“Hmm, I’ve got it. The solution is so simple.”
Liuzi temporarily closed the checkpoint, went over to swap the labels of the black channel and the red channel, then reopened the post.
As the ghosts stread in, he shouted through the checkpoint’s gaphone, “To save ti, please could everyone go to the black channel, thank you for cooperating!”
Most of the ghosts didn’t react at all.
Just as the Goddess of Art had said, their mory was terrible; they could hardly rember what the black channel signified, and they cheerfully headed towards the red channel marked as the “black channel.”
However, not every ghost was so nonchalant.
A few of the ghosts looked fearfully at the signpost, then approached the checkpoint and whispered to Liuzi, “Sir, we’re rather afraid of black, and if possible, we’d like to go to the green channel. If that’s not possible, the red channel is also fine.”
“Then what can you offer ?” Liuzi asked with a smile.
Seeing Liuzi’s expression, the ghosts visibly relaxed and handed over their treasured items.
These items were of little consequence to Liuzi, but there was no harm in collecting them, so he happily accepted.
After taking the items, Liuzi pointed to the red channel and said, “I can’t let you into the green channel, but I can let you into the red one. After you enter, don’t say I let you in, okay?”
The ghosts granted passage by Liuzi imdiately said with gratitude, “Don’t worry, sir, we definitely won’t tell anyone.”
“Alright then, take care.”
“`
The Ghosts stepped onto the “red carpet” and their footsteps beca noticeably lighter.
They straightened their backs, whispering to each other from ti to ti, as if mocking the travelers on the other road for heading down a path of no return, laughing at Liuzi for having let them go.
It wasn’t until they saw the black threshold at the end and heard the roaring flas inside that they realized they had been duped.
Curses filled the air, and even from a distance, Liuzi could tell they were quite filthy.
But it didn’t matter how they cursed; the points were in hand, and all that was left was to repeat the process and push his ranking higher.
At this point, whether the ga was fun or not no longer mattered to Liuzi.
He just wanted to quickly increase his points, to surpass Xien Waidao and secure the first place in the rankings.
So he spent every mont of his rest ti grinding in the ga, increasing his points continuously.
In order not to give Xien Waidao a chance to catch up while he wasn’t paying attention, he dared not log off and just kept grinding nonstop.
Finally, when he had accumulated enough of an advantage and was sure that Xien Waidao could no longer catch up, he opened Ga Inn, exhausted, and located Xien Waidao’s post.
Just as he was about to unleash a barrage of righteous mockery on Xien Waidao, he discovered that Xien Waidao’s published thod was the sa as his, with similar results.
However, just two hours before, Xien Waidao had added a sentence to his post: “Liuzi, was it worth the trouble to fight to be number one?”
Seeing this sentence, Liuzi felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, leaving him completely chilled.
Yeah, was it worth it?
For a aningless title, he had been fighting this pointless battle against Xien Waidao for so long, exhausting himself without any of the relaxation and joy that ca with playing gas.
Was it worth it?
But upon further thought, he realized that this was all because of Xien Waidao!
If it wasn’t for your provocation, would I have done such a thing?
So, it’s all Xien Waidao’s fault!
What right do you have to say such things!
In another scene, Xien Waidao was checking on the prisoners in the jail.
“Not Immortal Road” has many scenarios, and depending on the player’s race ascension, they would enter different scenes.
In this scene, players beco prison guards, checking on the prisoners’ conditions and making judgnts to send them to different areas.
As he was doing this, Xien Waidao suddenly couldn’t help it and snickered behind his hand.
Mukuai1234 moved aside discreetly and asked, “What’s with you, forget to take your dicine?”
“No, just thinking of sothing delightful.”
“Your wife had a baby?”
“Kind of… not exactly. I was thinking of the look on Liuzi’s face after he read my post. He must be raging impotently right now, blaming everything on . Just thinking about his expression makes think I could eat three bowls of rice.”
Mukuai1234 moved even further away and then continued, “He hasn’t replied to your post, how do you know?”
“Seeing how his points keep going up, I knew he must have been provoked by my ranking. But I had already anticipated this and had set a trap for him in advance. He must have stepped on it by now. It’s a sha I can’t put a cara on him; his expression would be priceless.”
“…What kind of grudge do you guys have?”
“A grudge of humiliation, irreconcilable! It’s all because he bullied in ‘Immortal Road’.”
“…You two really know each other well, even without communicating, you can tell what the other is thinking.”
“That’s the tacit understanding between arch-enemies, heh heh heh.”
Watching Xien Waidao laugh like a true villain, Mukuai1234 felt that the cunning and deceit between players was utterly despicable.
And Zhiyi Heavenly Lord, who was monitoring the scene, also felt these players were truly despicable.
