PFRG: Chapter 116

In the blue team’s surveillance area, the same scene was also displayed on the screen.

The Jazz team had one less player than they had before participating in this project. The remaining three stood side by side, with the mottled light falling into their eyes appearing to flicker.

From the moment they were preparing to close the distance, Diao Baiwei had already realized the intention of her teammates. Seeing that the vehicles of both sides were about to enter the range of the personal skill, she couldn’t help asking, “Is Wang Yu really going to take action?”

There was no sign of looking forward to striking first. Her obviously tense state looked like she didn’t approve of her teammates’ choices.

“This is the last chance. Of course, we have to take action, or it is just waiting to lose. Sister Diao, what is wrong with you today?” The teammate next to her looked at Diao Baiwei strongly, obviously puzzled by her abnormal indecision. “Are you still thinking about Miao Zhou’s death? It is all in the past. Don’t scare yourself too much. How strong can a team that isn’t on the leaderboard be? They just won once by luck. They won’t be so lucky if they encounter Old Wang’s ‘Emotional Expansion’.”

Diao Baiwei was silent for a moment before nodding. “I hope so.”

The teammates next to her couldn’t help laughing when they saw her like this. “Captain, look at Sister Diao. It isn’t that serious, but isn’t she really scared?”

Qu Leng’s eyes fell on the surveillance screen and didn’t move away. “Baiwei has always been more vigilant.”

Such emotionless words made Diao Baiwei look at Qu Leng involuntarily. At this moment, a strange feeling flashed through her mind. The corners of her lips twitched, but she didn’t say anything.

There was hardly any emotion in Qu Leng’s expression, but she inexplicably felt that the captain had the same idea as her. Both of them had strong doubts about whether Wang Yu could succeed.

However, unlike her, Qu Leng didn’t make any statement from beginning to end. The reason was obviously as her teammate said. This was already the last round for the Dawn team. No matter how high or low Wang Yu’s success rate was on the field, this was the Jazz team’s last chance to turn the situation around.

She hoped she was worrying too much. After all, Wang Yu’s personal skill did give him a great advantage in the current environment.

The key to this simulated road test was how to pass this section of road in the shortest time while maintaining an absolutely stable mental state.

During this period, if any player on either side lost control or became anxious, it was likely to cause a chain reaction that led to a series of mistakes.

Wang Yu’s personal skill was just enough to capture even the tiniest bit of human emotion and amplify it endlessly.

Therefore, as long as the player of the Dawn team felt a bit anxious or angry, it would be enough to end the competition early. She just hoped there wouldn’t be too many heavy casualties this time.

Qu Leng noticed Diao Baiwei’s silence and didn’t say much. His eyes silently fell on the girl’s side profile.

Diao Baiwei wasn’t the longest-serving member of the Jazz team. But due to her outstanding personal skill, she was the one he currently relied on the most. The only pity was that after struggling in the unlimited world for so long, Diao Baiwei’s overly soft personality was still a bit incompatible with the attributes of the team.

Qu Leng withdrew his gaze and sighed softly in his heart.

He really hoped that she could understand as soon as possible the biological law of the jungle, where the strong preyed on the weak and the fittest survived. Compared to the life or death of these insignificant guys, how to survive here with glory was the only thing that players like them needed to care about.

After all, how many of those who were kind to others could actually have a good ending?

Qu Leng slowly straightened the folds of the clothes on his shoulders and said, “Watch carefully. It should be about to start.”

The other two also focused their attention on the surveillance screen after being reminded.

Then seeing that the red and blue go-karts had entered the range of Wang Yu’s personal skill, they waited intently. However, they only saw the time passing by.

10 seconds, 15 seconds, 20 seconds…

The member of the Jazz team, who had been mocking Diao Baiwei just now, couldn’t stand it any longer and scratched his head. “What is wrong with Old Wang? Is he going to fight or not?”

This was obviously also the question in Qu Leng’s mind.

However, when his eyes were fixed on the slightly confused and doubtful expression in the surveillance video, the color of his eyes gradually darkened. “Perhaps Wang Yu has already taken action.”

“Already taken action? How is that possible? Nothing happened!” The team member was stunned. “Captain, you mean that Old Wang’s skill is ineffective? That is impossible!”

Qu Leng didn’t answer.

Of course, he always hoped that his guess was wrong, but Wang Yu’s expression had already given the answer.

Wang Yu had indeed used the skill.

In a short period of time, he went through a complete emotional transformation from cautious to impatient, from confidence of victory to astonishment and surprise, and finally to complete collapse.

“How could it be? How could this be possible… How could there be such a person?” The moment Wang YU used Emotional Expansion on the red go-kart, he was fully prepared to detonate a series of red emotions representing excitement, anger, etc. However, when the gas representing Song Xuefeng’s emotions gradually enveloped the red go-kart, his completely refreshed worldview made him feel at a loss for the first time as to where to start.

Since awakening his personal skill, Wang Yu had seen all types of emotions from players.

Some people were passionate but easily irritable and angry. The surrounding color was red. Some people were gentle but easily depressed. Their main color was blue. Some people strive to survive and were full of expectations about the future. Their main color was green.

What Wang Yu could do with his skill was capture any one of these emotional colors and amplify it endlessly.

However, this was the first time he had encountered such an existence. Surrounding the player in the red go-kart, there was an overwhelming gray color.

It wasn’t certain if the other person noticed something, but Wang Yu vaguely saw the man in the driver’s seat suddenly looking around. He just had no time to care about it at this moment.

The gray emotions seemed to interweave into a dense web.

Wang Yu was keeping an eye out for other blue go-karts around while trying to catch a hint of red from the other person’s emotions. But in the end, all he saw was the sticky, dense gray with almost no gaps.

If he wasn’t wearing a helmet, Wang Yu would’ve wanted to scratch his head fiercely.

What did a gray emotion represent? Decadence, despair, depression, discouragement, self-loathing, and self-abandonment.

Among the emotions of ordinary people, it was already huge if such an emotion accounted for more than 10% of their emotions.

For the guy of the Dawn team with a situation like this, how did he manage to survive until now? Shouldn’t he have committed suicide on the spot due to his excessive world-weariness?

It was hard to say whether depression was a terminal illness or not, but if he was this depressed, it meant he had absolutely no hope for this world. How could he still be in the mood to participate in the competition? Wasn’t his mental state too stable?

Wang Yu was still trying to find even a trace of red emotion, but he ended up feeling as if he was gradually enveloped by this endless gray.

Confused and bewildered, he finally fell into complete despair.

Originally, he was very proud of his personal skill that could be ranked among the best in the spiritual category. But he suffered a great blow in a short period of time and felt completely defeated.

Was it invalid?

Did it really have no effect on this man at all?

No, this wasn’t possible.

Since he couldn’t find the red emotion, just be completely engulfed by his own gray emotions!

A cold light flashed in Wang Yu’s eyes, followed by a slight snap of his fingers. From his perspective, he could see that the gray emotions surrounding the red go-kart were magnified by dozens of times in an instant under the influence of external forces.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Yes, that’s right. Since this person couldn’t be tricked into making mistakes, he would forever be trapped in this inescapable despair.

If the gray emotions in the past weren’t enough, then what about now? Now, was it time for this person to finally give up on this lingering life?

Seeing a blue vehicle appear in his field of view, Wang Yu stepped on the brakes to slow down and avoid it. At the same time, he took the opportunity to appreciate the performance of the red team.

However, as the two cars slowed down and almost drove side by side, what he saw was Song Xuefeng, who was driving the go-kart next to him like an old car, looking up in confusion. His eyelids, which had been drooping all year round, were raised slightly. His voice wasn’t loud, but his lazy words could still be heard intermittently. “Don’t bother. Emotional control abilities are useless on me.”

The smile on Wang Yu’s face was completely shattered by the cracks that appeared. “No, it is impossible. How can you still…?”

The rest of the sentence came to an abrupt end.

Wang Yu was horrified to find that in such a short period of time, the gray emotions surrounding the red go-kart had spread in front of him in an instant.

So, to what extent was he depressed that when guided, it could spread to this extent?

After realizing that something was wrong, Wang Yu was about to step on the accelerator to escape. But the gray emotion in the very edge had gently scratched his face. “……”

The foot on the accelerator shifted to the brake as his emotions completely relaxed. In his instantly relaxed expression, only two teardrops were left. “Paramecium, a useless paramecium. I can’t even do such a little thing… Why am I such a waste? Paramecium, I am a paramecium… Wu, a paramecium…”

The intermittent words were transmitted into the live stream room through the camera without missing a word. The barrage in Wang Yu’s live stream room was completely blown up.

[Hahahaha, oh my god, what is going on?]

[This is the first time I have seen Old Wang being backfired by his own skill. I am curious, how depressed is that person from the Dawn team?]

[…Ah, the gas just touched his skin, and he turned into a paramecium?]

[Is this really true? He must be acting. The player of the Dawn team is obviously living very well.]

[The big mourning boss is so terrifying.]

[It is definitely acting. I suspect that the streamer is implying something about my mental state!]

[Oh no, I really didn’t expect it to be so funny before I saw it. Hahahaha, paramecium, paramecium. It is really making me laugh to death hahaha!]

At the same time, the members of the Jazz team standing in front of the surveillance screen. “…….”

Soon, a player in the middle tried to confirm it. “Captain, it seems that Old Wang can’t drive for a while. Does this mean Sister Diao needs to come on as the second substitute?”

“……” After a long silence, Qu Leng’s voice sounded again. “According to the rules, only players who are injured and unable to continue the game are allowed to be substituted. The current situation can only be seen when Wang Yu reacts. In other words, if the person from the Dawn team is willing to get rid of him on the spot, then perhaps we can save a bit of time.”

There was silence after he finished speaking. He smiled calmly and continued, “Just kidding. It is better if they don’t take advantage of the other’s misfortune.”

Of course, Song Xuefeng would never take advantage of someone’s misfortune.

He only took a glance at the blue go-kart that had come to a complete stop. He could guess that the other person was affected by his negative emotions.

He sighed helplessly and could only reluctantly step on the accelerator, gradually widening the distance between the two cars.

It wasn’t that he suddenly became motivated. Simply stopping the car midway had already been verified as a safety rule, but if he allowed his emotions to engulf the unlucky guy from the Jazz, a suicide on the track might occur at any time.

Song Xuefeng himself had long been accustomed to being depressed. Being a bit more or a bit less depressed didn’t have much of an impact on him. However, he knew very well that other people simply couldn’t bear it.

Yue Ren had already killed one of the team members. If another one died here, it would probably bring more trouble in the future.

Song Xuefeng thought of this and couldn’t help sighing again.

After being forced to accelerate, he had to temporarily change his previous state of slacking off and paid attention to the colors of the surrounding vehicles. He saw another red shadow fall into his eyes. Seeing that he had already distanced himself from the Jazz team player, he stepped on the brakes again. Just as he switched back to the speed mode of an old car, he heard several clear alarms.

Song Xuefeng’s unfocused gaze moved slightly downwards, and he saw a low fuel prompt on the control panel.

After a long silence, as if the scene had been frozen, he looked up in a resigned manner and saw a striking sign not far away—he was 100 meters away from the entrance of a gas station.

“…Alas.”

The captain’s project was finished. Why was it endless when it was his turn?

Or maybe just destroy it on the spot. After all, work was really tiring.
