Chapter 866: Chapter 476: Enemies on a Narrow Road_2 Chapter 866: Chapter 476: Enemies on a Narrow Road_2 Wu Wei thought it over and nodded, saying, “That’s true. But couldn’t they just issue a supplentary notice to handle this? Why go through so much trouble?”
“I thought the sa, but the people at Fang Cheng Studio are different. They said that if players have discovered sothing they hadn’t anticipated, that it becos a feature of the ga. They’ve also taken redial asures, which include hiring so players to act as guards and start protecting those seeded players from being victimized by others. I didn’t want to get involved initially, but the offer they made was just too good.”
Thinking about what he might gain, Xien Waidao alternated between foolish grins and sighs, which made Wu Wei a bit curious about exactly what benefits the tournant committee had given him.
At the sa ti, he felt a bit smug.
He had also beco a seeded player, and his days and nights spent gaming to boost his strength had paid off.
Just as Wu Wei was about to ask for more details, the driver of the Wuling Hongguang suddenly slamd on the brakes. A truck had appeared at the corner of the street and crashed towards them with force.
Xien Waidao reacted incredibly quickly. As the truck showed signs of collision, “she” opened the door and kicked Wu Wei out, then rolled out and pulled Xien Waidao with her, rushing into a narrow alley.
Watching the truck accelerate behind them, Wu Wei blurted out unconsciously, “Is all this necessary?”
“A million in prize money, anything goes,” Xien Waidao hurriedly said.
“But what if we get killed by the hit?”
“We won’t, they won’t kill you; they’ll just injure you badly and then take you to the hospital for rescue. Oh, and the hospital is run by them. They’ll keep claiming that your wounds haven’t healed and that you must keep staying in the hospital until the competition ti has passed by using this tactic.”
“What, a Putian System Hospital! Bringing such realistic stuff into the ga, is that okay?”
“If you have the energy to complain, better keep running with .”
As they ran through the narrow roads together, Wu Wei suddenly thought of sothing and hurriedly said, “Can’t I just log off?”
“It’s useless. They will mark your log-off spot and leave soone waiting for you to log on. This thod is commonly called ‘corpse camping,’ and it will prevent you from participating in the competition.”
“Damn.”
The despicable tactic made Wu Wei gasp in horror and also made him realize that the beautiful ga graphics couldn’t hide the vile human nature.
Finally, as they reached a sewer entrance, Xien Waidao directly lifted the sewer cover and jumped in with Wu Wei.
The sewers in tropolis were extrely large, the treated wastewater was almost odorless and could be directly discharged.
Picking up a lantern already prepared here, Xien Waidao breathed a sigh of relief, “Good thing I prepared ahead; otherwise, we’d be in trouble today. But the other party is also quite willing to take risks. Intentional injury can get them banned—one account for 128, enough for six burgers.”
Twisting around, “she” said to Wu Wei behind her, “We need to be careful afterward; they probably have abilities that can track us.”
“Indeed,” Wu Wei nodded, “So Card Set Skills really could do that, we need to take so defenses.”
“So, let’s play a round of mahjong first, use the ga to defend. During this ti, try not to stray too far from , to avoid being treated as offline. Also, don’t win too quickly; if the ga doesn’t last long enough, we won’t be able to fend off their skills.”
Wu Wei was just about to agree when he suddenly felt uneasy.
Keeping a certain distance from Xien Waidao, Wu Wei stared at her back and said cautiously, “Xien Waidao, can I trust you?”
“Other tis I couldn’t say, but now you can. What, you scared?”
Holding the lantern, Xien Waidao turned her head and flashed Wu Wei an evil smile.
In the light of the lantern, her shadow shook and swelled like a growling demon. In this fairy-tale-like ga, it was enough to send shivers down one’s spine.
However, Wu Wei did not back down but instead looked at her and said, “It’s not fear, just doubt. You know too much about the tricks in the ga, and as you know, your reputation on the forums isn’t very good. Suddenly telling you’ve turned over a new leaf, I find it hard to believe.”
“Indeed. If I were in your place, I wouldn’t believe myself either. How about this, I’ll tell you what my mission reward is, and you will probably believe then.”
Wu Wei was about to ask what reward could be so tempting, but when he heard Xien Waidao whisper what her reward was, he felt that maybe she was telling the truth.
Such great rewards, he wanted a piece of the action too.
Especially after knowing that if Xien Waidao successfully protected him, they could all receive rewards, Wu Wei imdiately said, “Mr. Xien Waidao, from today on, you are my boss. If you say ‘one,’ I definitely won’t say ‘two.’ If you tell to steal chickens, I absolutely won’t touch the dogs.”
“Good brother, that’s the spirit. Alright, we’ve reached our temporary base.”
Although he didn’t know who ca up with the idea of setting up the temporary base in the sewer, Wu Wei felt that the person who thought of the idea must absolutely be a genius after seeing the secluded room.
Engaging in a showdown with Xien Waidao, Xien Waidao used various defensive skills to protect Wu Wei, then told him, “The day after tomorrow is your competition day. Try not to log off during this ti, because the opponent can mark your log-off spot and camp your corpse.”
“I have a question, why don’t we just wait at the competition venue?” Wu Wei curiously asked.
“Others might think of what you thought of, and to prevent cheating, the competition committee will clear the area once. At that ti, all players will be cleared out, making it even more troubleso. So, we will head to the venue through the sewer before the match; we’ve already figured out the route, so there shouldn’t be any problem.”
“The ones that usually say there won’t be any problem are the ones that end up having a problem.”
“Less chit-chat, get in.”
The safe house in the sewer wasn’t as cramped or filthy as he’d imagined.
After all, it’s a secondary world ga, where everything is beautified in a series of modifications; it couldn’t be too bad.
Xien Waidao and Wu Wei were the first to return here.
Sitting in a corner, Wu Wei’s nervousness gradually settled, and then he felt that sothing was amiss.
I ca to play Mahjong in the secondary world, why am I getting involved with kidnapping and assassination?
Is this the little surprise that cos with an open world?
Reflecting on it, Wu Wei didn’t actually dislike this approach; instead, he was filled with admiration for Fang Cheng Studio.
Being able to pull off such stunts in a world ant for Mahjong, no other ga company could manage that.
Fang Cheng indeed was a genius creator filled with all sorts of imaginative ideas; playing his gas, one must always be careful, you never know when an Easter egg might just fly by.
But just waiting here wasn’t a solution either, Wu Wei started a private card ga and then said to Xien Waidao, “Wanna play a couple of rounds?”
“Sure, but just so you know, I play dirty,” Xien Waidao said, hands on hips and head tilted back.
Looking at the triumphant Xien Waidao, Wu Wei realized for the first ti that there were actually people who would proudly state dirtiness as a specialty.
But after several rounds, Xien Waidao began to fall silent.
Sneaky tactics could only make up for so of the gap in skills, but in face of absolute difference in skill, his little tricks were insufficient.
Counting his cards and skills, Xien Waidao realized he had lost.
But thinking about it, it made sense; his energy lately had been focused on “Please Co In, Guest.” Playing Mahjong was just a pasti, not very intense.
Just as he was thinking about how to gracefully handle this round, “he” heard the door of the safe house being pushed open, and two people entered.
On alert, Xien Waidao stood up, and upon seeing that the newcor was a mature and attractive woman, “he” relaxed and then said disgustedly, “Liuzi, every ti I see your virtual avatar here, I feel sick.”
“I feel sick when I see you pretending to be a boy,” Liuzi retorted. “I’ve brought another player with , we’ll go together later.”
Seeing the person behind Liuzi, Wu Wei was stunned.
The newcor also looked astonished and then beca annoyed.
“Why is it you!” Hakurei Silver Dream exclaid.
