Chapter 221: Brick City Race (20)
The man wearing gold-rimmed glasses lay on the felt sofa with his head tilted to one side, his legs crossed and raised. When he heard footsteps, he uttered a word without even raising his eyes.
The girl named Linlang was about to report the situation when a slightly plump young man spoke before her.
"We saw a team of four people in a nearby school. They were hiding in tents. I guess those are defensive props. I think we can launch a sneak attack at night."
"Well, continue."
"... Uh." The fat young man thought about it and added, "There is also a player who uses ice. The temperature over there is very low. Ice crystals occasionally fall from the sky. He must be a high-level player."
"Tsk." Fu Guan waved his hand in boredom, "Next one."
The fat young man scratched his head, not quite happy but not daring to say anything. He just complained silently in his heart.
It’s not enough to be able to see this from such a distance, what else does Fu Guan want to hear?
He glanced at the other two, wanting to see what new farts they could come up with.
Another young man who came in later made a "you go first" gesture to Linlang.
Linlang did not refuse and said directly: "Four people, I am not sure if it is the initial four people or the four left after the personnel reduction. If it is the former, I suggest giving up."
She was always used to assuming the worst for everything, and if it was really the former, she had another guess.
Linlang stared at Fu Guanzai: "This is my first time participating in a points competition, but you said there will be a lot of high-level players in this round, so I think there is a possibility that we will encounter humanoid props. I don't rule out the possibility that there are humanoid props in that team."
Fu Guanzai: "Why do you think it was someone from that team?"
"It's just a guess. Applying our team model, if the others are resting and only one person is fighting monsters, someone will definitely make a fuss."
She glanced at the fat young man meaningfully, "Especially those who are incompetent but like to show off, because this is a matter of points, not a matter of who has contributed more. They are all players who have experienced at least eight games and have the ability to protect themselves. Who wouldn't want to get more points?"
Fu Guan opened one eye and asked, "Anything else?"
"There aren't many monsters attacking them. For a player like me, I will definitely take this opportunity to gain more points. Because I am not capable enough to deal with the monster tide, this attack frequency is just right for me. But that team doesn't care about the points at all."
Linlang emphasized the three words "don't care" to place special emphasis.
"With such strength, it is very likely that four people are the initial number. The reason why there are no monsters at the school is probably that they have all been killed by them. The intervals between the four people's rest will be relatively short, and someone has to rest. If the humanoid prop is not here, then it makes sense that they would not leave the tent and still be in the mood to spend the night."
"What's your name?"
"Linlang."
Fu Guan waved at her, "Come over to my side and follow me."
The fat young man exclaimed: "Then I...?"
Fu Guan interrupted him, "Go out now and ask others if they have anything else to say. If not, you can leave."
He is not doing charity. This round is divided among thirteen people and he does not lack those points. He is not in the mood to run around and be a babysitter.
The “newcomers” who are participating in the points tournament for the first time are the most troublesome. They think they have some level after playing a few games. They don’t listen to what you say and always think their ideas are better. You can’t lead them at all.
But he couldn't just ignore it, or he would really lose everything. Given the style of the game, he would probably be in trouble before he could pass the level.
Instead of doing this, it is better to pick a few smart ones to bring with you, so that if you are matched together in the subsequent regional competitions, at least you will have an idea.
Send the fat young man out, Fu Guan said to the last young man who came in.
"I didn't go to the school. I found a group of five people in the subway two blocks away. One of them died yesterday. They were the original six-member team. They had a crystal. Compared to the group at school, this group is more suitable for us."
The young man opened his palm, and in his palm was a parchment scroll, on which was played the scene he had seen with his eyes.
"There are only two players who are more offensive, and neither of them has a second-level skill. We don't know which of the other three is a high-level player, but one of them is injured. Together with the school team, they can barely be counted as four people. This group is much weaker."
Fu Guanzai: "Did you find out this information yourself?"
"Yes, myself."
"name."
"Shang Ying."
"Come here, you and her follow me." Fu Guan sat up from the sofa, put his hands in his pockets and walked out, "Do you have any other connections with the other nine people, such as friends or lovers? You must walk on your own."
Linlang and Shang Ying answered in unison: "No."
"I hope you are telling the truth." Fu Guan pushed open the limp door, took a few steps, and saw the fat young man blocking his way.
"Where are you going?"
"Go fight monsters." Fu Guan waved his shoulder away, "You and those people don't have to follow me."
"Why?!" the fat young man raised his voice, and the people who followed him were also very confused.
Didn’t this big guy say that they are players from the same zone and can complete the game together?
Fu Guan ignored him and just looked towards the upper left corner of the wall. His eyes were focused on the empty corner for a few seconds, then he looked away.
"Shang Ying, lead the way to the subway station you mentioned."
The fat young man wanted to block the way, but when he saw Linlang, he raised his hand and pointed at her: "Why can she follow you?"
He glanced at Linlang back and forth, and said sourly, "It's convenient to be good-looking."
Fu Guanzai still ignored him and continued walking forward.
Linlang followed behind him and said calmly, "He has a three-word skill card, and I have a five-word skill card."
The implication is that Fu Guanzai could rob him to make himself stronger and lighten his burden.
Before the fat young man knew what was going on, a chain locked his body.
Fu Guan passed by him, turned his fingers, used the nine-character waste card in the prop bag to cut off the fat young man's three-character skill card, and threw it to Linlang, "Take it."
"Thank you." Linlang took the [Continuation of the Lost Awakening] and transferred it to herself.
Skill: [Death Continuation]
Effect: Ignore defense, and instantly counterattack to increase attack power by 12,000% at the critical moment of death.
Note: The basic attack power of this skill card depends on the user's level and can only be used once per round of dungeon.
Linlang was very satisfied with the card, which had great restrictions but miraculous effects. She left with Fu Guanzai along with Shang Ying.
After the three left, the remaining nine people looked at each other, "What should we do? Go it alone?"
"How can we work alone? The bosses have all left. Why don't we go to the subway station they mentioned?"
"Why are we going?" the fat young man said gloomily, "It's just that they played a few more rounds of games than us. They are going to the subway station, and we are going to school!"
“…You have lost all your skills, is that okay?”
"Why not?" The fat young man equipped himself with his old four-character card, turned around and walked towards the school.
Although it is unclear how Fu Guanzai violated common sense and cut the skill cards for others, he can just wait until he robs a few people in the school and then get his own card back!
