PFRG: Chapter 133

Yue Ren watched Chi Ting slowly stand up and laughed. “Why don’t you continue to ask?”

“No need, I know the answer.” Chi Ting sighed softly. “We are all workers. It isn’t easy for everyone. Let’s solve it quickly and clean up the mess together.”

Yue Ren instantly understood what Chi Ting meant by ‘mess.’ But after listening to the previous sentence, he could only smile. “Sometimes, I really don’t understand where your strange kindness comes from. I remember that you weren’t like this when I first met you. Since when did you even sympathize with these NPCs?”

Chi Ting thought about it briefly before answering. “Maybe it is because of you?”

The smile on Yue Ren’s lips paused for a moment. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly understood.

Did this mean that because he was also an NPC, he triggered the increasingly strange empathy that followed?

The corners of his lips twitched, and Yue Ren glanced away. “Didn’t you want to end this quickly? Let’s get started.”

“Yes, you should be careful too.” Chi Ting was obviously still thinking about the new reality where Yue Ren was weak and delicate, so he reminded the other person, “Don’t let those things get close to you.”

Yue Ren couldn’t help laughing. “Okay, Captain.”

Before he could finish his words, something struck at him like lightning. Yue Ren quickly dodged it, and it directly created a shattered hole in the ground where he had just stood.

He was obviously unhappy about his conversation being interrupted. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone became colder. “It seems that the operator of this Starry Sky Arcade is more anxious to demolish the house than us.”

Before Yue Ren finished speaking, several black shadows rose from the ground, and the crazy threads were broken into pieces.

Everywhere had become extremely chaotic. In the midst of Ji Xingque’s heartfelt laughter, the dense firepower managed to suppress the intensive attacks from the surroundings. At the same time, the frequent inability to distinguish between friend and foe meant that the player camp was suffering in the chaos.

As Chi Ting approached, he heard Song Xuefeng’s countless sighs. He seemed very forbearing and helpless. There was no doubt that if Ji Xingque’s firepower support wasn’t urgently needed, Old Song would definitely let this completely excited guy calm down at the first opportunity.

Chi Ting quickly scanned the area and found that the Jazz team, led by Qu Leng, had long disappeared. It was obvious that they didn’t want to waste too much time providing support to others.

Fortunately, several phantoms on the other side had already distributed the gift cards they obtained. They led the players, who had finally accumulated enough game coins, through the battlefield to the redemption area. The players successfully obtained a pass.

The scene was indeed a bit chaotic, but the phantom guards under his command were experienced in various rescue situations. They sent the players to the portal one by one while Ji Xingque established firepower support.

Players gradually disappeared from view. Chi Ting sighed with relief and calmly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

According to the setting of this instance that didn’t allow the direct trade of game coins, these gift cards were undoubtedly the only way to increase their own game coins before settlement. In this way, in order to survive and pass the level, the purpose of the final animal party was obviously to hope that players would engage in a brutal fight for these game cards. It was enough to see after counting the denominations of the gift cards provided by Qu Leng. At a rough estimate, the game coins added by these gift cards were just enough for other players to exchange for passes.

Yes, no more and no less. It was just the right amount.

If this wasn’t coordinated one-sidedly by Chi Ting, someone would be left here forever the moment the slightest uneven distribution occurred.

It was a very tricky and cunning setting. It continued the style of playing with a human being’s bad nature.

Fortunately, this wave of control was quite quick. The gift cards won from the Jazz team, plus the ones he had in his hands, were just enough to complete an accurate control of the situation.

It might have gone a bit overtime, but the living threads that constituted the core of this instance couldn’t get any benefit from them. After all, there was Ji Xingque, an absolute walking bomber. In addition, there was the second one summoned as a phantom. This meant the degree of firepower suppression was directly doubled.

These threads were afraid of fire. The information obtained from the gas station seemed very satisfying in this situation.

Speaking of firepower alone, if Ji Xingque ranked second, then no one Chi Ting knew would dare to claim to be first.

The entire Starry Sky Arcade was already in chaos. At the same time, it maintained a strange balance due to sufficient combat power.

The number of threads around them was dense enough to make one feel numb at first glance. However, they had been bombarded repeatedly by artillery fire. Now they were timid and had fallen into a state of hesitation and fear.

There was the slight friction sound of shoes stepping on the broken threads on the ground.

As he shook off the sticky liquid left on the shadows, Yue Ren avoided the occasional firepower that reached him and walked over. “Just now, I seemed to have seen the last person being sent out.”

“Yes.” Song Xuefeng tapped on the table in an absentminded manner and looked up. “We are the only ones left. Shall we retreat too?”

“Thank you for your hard work. You can leave now.” Chi Ting kicked away the things that were wriggling like broken earthworm tails and looked around. “I’ll go and take a look around.”

As he said this, he glanced in Ji Xingque’s direction and called out, “Little Bird, will you come with me?”

“Huh?” Ji Xingque didn’t hear clearly because the distance was too far. He put down the double-folding heavy cannon in his hand with reluctance. Then he soon figured it out. “Of course! Captain, just tell me what to do!”

“……” Song Xuefeng paused and said, “Forget it. I’ll come too.”

Ji Xingque was running over with a heavy cannon. Once he heard this, a hint of surprise appeared on his already excited face. “What wind is blowing today? Old Song, aren’t you in a hurry to get off work?”

Song Xuefeng glanced at him. “Different batches of players will enter random exits when leaving the instance. If I go out now, I will have to go to your portal to look for you. It is troublesome.”

Ji Xingque exclaimed, “That makes sense!”

“Then you…” Chi Ting turned around. His words became stuck for a moment when he saw Yue Ren looking at him with an expression that said, ‘I’m just waiting for your invitation.’ He cleared his throat softly, “Come with me too?”

Yue Ren raised an eyebrow. “Yes, there is nothing else to do anyway.”

“That’s fine.” Chi Ting nodded. “Before that, let’s go exchange the pass first.”

The scene of the Dawn team heading to the exchange area to get the pass fell into the live stream room. Due to their leisurely and casual attitude along the way, the audience’s comments were scrolling wildly.

[…They really aren’t in a hurry at all. Are they taking a walk in the arcade?”

[I thought they were trying to trick the Jazz team. I didn’t expect them to actually give out all the gift cards. What type of good fortune boy is this?]

[What good fortune boy? He is obviously the reincarnation of Bodhisattva.]

[Is this the strength of a top team? I don’t feel any sense of urgency at all.]

[It is funny. The Dawn team has some crazy fans so quickly? They haven’t even been officially certified. Are they already being praised as a top team?]

[It is true that they haven’t made the rankings, but judging from their strength, their performance is indeed on par with those great teams.]

[Their combat power is impressive, but there is still a gap in their qualifications. If they were put in the same instance for a speed race, the gap would be immediately apparent.]

[What are you guys arguing about? Am I the only one paying attention to what they are doing? Why don’t they get out now?]

[Why are you in such a hurry? Just keep watching, and you will know what they are going to do… Sh*t, where is the screen?]

[What’s going on? Why did the screen go black? Release it so I can keep watching!!!]

Just as the discussion on the barrage was in full swing, the interface of the live stream room was completely cut off without warning. This left the audience at a loss.

What was going on? Was it because all the players who stayed in the instance had redeemed their passes? But strictly speaking, as long as they hadn’t left, it meant the instance wasn’t completely over, right?

Somewhere that everyone couldn’t see, the girl under the black veil looked back, her tone showing some confusion. “You just cut off the live stream privileges like this?”

She got a lazy reply. “Yes, there is no need for those people to continue watching. I can only say that it isn’t surprising at all. He has always been like this… he likes to show some ridiculous kindness.”

No 3 stared at the man on the chair. He blinked slowly and showed a surprised expression. “It seems that you have guessed what they are going to do?”

No 7 replied, “Of course, since he already knows that our instances can be forcibly closed, there is no reason for him to let it go.”

“You mean that instance will also…” No 3 obviously didn’t understand very well. Her brow furrowed as she said, “You should be very clear about how much energy is required to complete the construction of each instance. Don’t you feel bad about them being closed one after another?”

“It doesn’t matter. Let him close it as he likes.” No 7 slowly stood up from the chair without even glancing over. “Let’s go. We should get down to business.”

No 3 stood still. “I haven’t seen enough.”

“Okay,” No 7 said. As his fingertips moved, the entire row of screens in front of him instantly darkened. He lowered his eyes and looked at No 3 with a slight smile. “The ones behind are my gifts to them. They aren’t suitable for you to watch.”

No 3 had taken a step when she heard this and paused. “What gift? Now I want to see it even more.”

A few seconds later, No 7 laughed in an ambiguous tone. His muttered voice seemed to be speaking to himself, but he seemed to be in a very good mood. “However, I don’t think this gift will be liked by everyone.”

Such an expression made No 3 glance at him even more.

It didn’t look like anything good was going to happen. Perhaps letting this group of people enter this instance was an intentional arrangement by this person from the very beginning.
