Chapter 280: Dense Forest Borderland

Tang Er hit with a serious look and pointed his forefinger at the corner of his forehead, giving Bai Liu a gesture to quickly think of a solution.

Alex, who was staring at Tang Er's fight, let out, "Is he saying he's out of his mind by making this gesture?"

Bai Liu: "......"

So hostile.

Bai Liu got close enough to hit Tang Er when Alex went up to meet Guy who jumped off the high top.

He gazed around the room, "Where's Jiayi?"

Tang Er hit his head and rubbed his brow, "This is a battlefield, Jiayi is not allowed to go to the front lines, she was taken away by the Red Cross people here when she was found, she wasn't allowed to come over at all."

"But the person should be safe." Tang Er hit a steady reassurance, "I've searched the Red Cross map after her, there are no high-kill NPCs or monsters there, it's just that she'll have to think about it some more before she can rejoin us."

Bai Liu nodded, "Just leave this to her."

"I agree, Liu Jiayi has always been very creative, the rules here won't stop her." Tang Er then looked at Spades, who was standing next to Bai Liu.

Out of complete trust in his tactician, Tang Er didn't question Bai Liu's decision to bring Spades here from the start, and didn't even avoid Spades reporting information to Bai Liu.

The moment Bai Liu brought Spades over, Tang Er fought to realize that at least in this game, Spades and they were on the same side, or else Bai Liu wouldn't have brought them to him so graciously.

As for how Bai Liu did it, it's not his place to ask as a leadoff man.

Tang Er hit scrutinizing eyes flickered over Spades, then immediately returned to Bai Liu's face, "What's up with the main quest? Why am I being ostracized for doing nothing?"

After Bai Liu explained to Tang Er Ta, Tang Er Ta couldn't help but glance at Spades, who stood on the side with no emotion on his face, and his tone became subtle: "You said, you made that NPC named Alex accept you by pretending to be a couple with Spades?"

"Yes." Bai Liu looked calm, "Guy would be friendly to most male players, and that would cause Alex to have a jealousy reaction."

Bai Liu scanned Tang Er Ta from top to bottom, then settled on Tang Er Ta's sturdy little arms that were tightly wrapped in his uniform and exposed by pulling up his sleeves, and spoke with a smile, "--especially one like you."

Tang Er fights uncomfortable, he looks tense to cover his bare arms, and also buttoned up his uniform to the first button: "...... Will this look better?"

"Well ......" Bai Liu's eyes fell on the knot in Tang Er's throat that rolled up and down from nervousness, and the shoulders and chest that looked even more eye-catching after all the buttons were buttoned up, and answered honestly, "It looks even more wrong. ."

Tang Er struck speechless, and he unbuttoned again in silence.

"But in the game pool, there's no way for us to alter the appearance data, and I don't have any props for changing appearance here." Tang Er fought frowning, "How can I make Alex less hostile to me?"

"The fastest way to do that is to get yourself a ......" Bai Liu's eyes went meaningfully to Spades, who was next to him.

Tang Er hit slowly shifted his gaze to Spades, and the two stared at each other wordlessly for a moment.

Spades: "?"

Spades reacted for a moment, thinking he understood what Bai Liu meant, and then righteously refused Tang Er hit, "No, you can't come to me, I have Bai Liu."

"We are in a very special male-to-male relationship, one-on-one, no third person."

During the education on physical hygiene, the Adversary God had taught very seriously that the two people in Spades' special relationship are one-to-one, and that they should be devoted to each other and never have second thoughts.

Bai Liu took a deep breath and raised a hand to avert his face.

Tang Er typed: "......"

Bai Liu, I can see you holding in your laughter even if you turn your head.

"You can't just let me find a random NPC to pretend to be, right?" Tang Er fought helplessly and amused, "There's no way for me to get the other person to cooperate with me, how about I tell Alex that I'm seeing someone back home?"

Bai Liu shook his head and laughed, "He won't believe it, and even if he does, a persona like yours is too common, and his favorability towards you won't rise back up."

Tang Er hit wrinkled his eyebrows, "What then? If Alex's favorability stays this low, I won't be able to get into his main quest even if I make it into Assault Team 1."

Bai Liu stroked his chin as he swept his gaze thoughtfully over Tang Er hit once before smiling, "I do have a way to pull Alex's favor with you."

"But it's just that his favorability towards me might drop a little bit, take a chance."

Tang Er asked, "What way?"

When Alex found Bai Liu in the crowd with Guy, he was hanging out with Tang Er and seemed to be talking about something.

Tang Er hit although seemingly calm, but the ears and face all red, obviously for Bai Liu such a movement some repulsion and shame, but somehow, this looks casually can push away Bai Liu did not push him away.

Bai Liu, on the other hand, looked familiar with the situation, and when he saw Alex and the others coming over, he naturally let go of Tang Er's shoulder and waved his hand to greet them with a smile.

Alex wanted to frown at the sight of Tang Er hit, but that subtle atmosphere between Tang Er hit and Bai Liu made him feel ...... that something was wrong.

It was as if his hostility was directed at the wrong person, a strange sense of defiance.

On the way back to the town for a break, the sense of dissonance intensified.

Bai Liu, Spades and Tang Er are all new recruits who signed up today and need to be assigned tents and shelters, as well as two large packages, Guy, who is a veteran, volunteered to take over the task of housing the three of them and is now leading them towards the town.

All three of these recruits would most likely have to take part in a raid mission and would go straight to war after a day's rest and recuperation, and as an appeasement to them, the recruits who would most likely be sacrificed, all three of these men were staying in a relatively good conditioned town today, and their assigned parcels were quite rich in supplies and heavy to carry in their hands.

Alex pulled the enthusiastic Guy back slowly without moving, letting Bai Liu, the three people in a row, walk in front of him, and then asked Guy in a low voice: "Don't you think there's something not right about these three people?"

"What's not quite right." Guy was completely oblivious, he smiled and said, "Bai Liu and Spades are a couple, Tang Er fights and Bai Liu are good friends who have known each other for a long time, they are both good lads."

The end of Alex's eyebrow twitched as he pointed at Bai Liu, who was walking in the middle with both hands empty, and said in no uncertain terms, "Can't you see that Bai Liu's packages were carried by Tang Er hit to help carry them? Would a normal couple let an outsider friend carry their lover's things?"

Spades walks on Bai Liu's side with his two parcels in a single hand, seemingly not noticing that Bai Liu's parcels have been taken over by Tang Er, and looking as if he doesn't have the self-consciousness to carry Bai Liu's parcels for him either.

Tang Er fights on the other side, carrying his and Bai Liu's four parcels, his eyes looking at Bai Liu from time to time, as if waiting for instructions - as if Bai Liu's position is above his.

It's a habit Tang Er played as a lead attacker developed to protect the tactician - mentioning unknown packages and noting the tactician's position.

But this seemed to take on a different meaning in Alex's eyes.

"Tang Er 打...... is it a crush on Bai Liu?" Alex muttered to himself.

Guy next to him let out a cold breath and raised his voice, "You're saying Tang Er is trying to meddle in the love affair between Spades and Bai Liu?!"

Alex angrily covered Guy's mouth, "It hasn't gotten this far yet, so keep your voice down! What if Spades hears?"

Tang Er next to him fought back the shame and approached Bai Liu in the center : "Alex's favorability has increased, I really have to talk to him again ......"

"Be." Bai Liu lazily scanned his system panel, "Alex's favorability is down on my end, but it's still within range."

Next to him, Spades looked at the two Bai Liu packages in Tang Er's hand, pursed his lips, said nothing, and moved his fingers restlessly.

--According to the status, this package should be carried by him ......

But Bai Liu volunteered to give Tang Er a fight.

Walking to the town's dormitory buildings that housed the recruits and some requisitioned hotels, the three were assigned different dormitories, and when it was time to go their separate ways, Tang Er fought and prepared to hand the package to Bai Liu, but Spades suddenly reached out and took it.

"I'll deliver it for him." Spades said faintly.

Tang Er struck a startled, inquiring glance at Bai Liu, and only when he saw the smiling Bai Liu behind Spades nodding his head did he let go of his hand and said politely, "Please."

Spades paused, "Oh."

Then he turned his head to Bai Liu, pointing at Tang Er hit like a complaint, and said indifferently, "He said you were troublesome, Bai Liu, don't mention it to him next time."

Tang Er typed: "......"

Bai Liu: "......"

After Spades finished his complaint, he took the parcel without any emotion on his face, weighed it and said it was very light, not troublesome, then turned his head and took Bai Liu's hand and left.

Tang Er, who stayed behind, played inexplicably with the feeling of having been demonstrated by Spades.

At Alex's discretion, Guy had gone to show Spades and Bai Liu the way to the residence, and he'd come to show Tang Er, who didn't seem to have a very restful figure, the way to the house.

But when it was Alex's turn to lead the way, he was on pins and needles.

Because the Tang Er fight behind him had been staring at him with a very tight, strange, lustful look.

The closer he got to the door of his residence, the deeper and hotter Tang Er's eyes became, and Alex almost wanted to run away.

At the door, Alex puts down his things and turns to leave, but Tang Er quickly grabs his wrist and begins to stare at Alex with that same lustful look.

"I ......" Tang Er Fight was almost forcing himself hard to say those words, but the more he pushed, the more he couldn't say them, and the whole thing was on the verge of burning itself out in place, "I... ..."

Alex frantically yanked his hand back, "--What do you want to say go talk to Bai Liu! I'm not the one you like!"

Tang Er hit took a deep breath, "But not me and him."

Alex couldn't pull back and started trying to shake off Tang Er's hitting hand, "You can't be with him, and you can't be with me! I have a partner too!"

He alerted, "You can't hit on Bai Liu or Guy! They're both taken!"

"No, there's no way I'm hitting them ......" Tang Er hit closed his eyes as he blushed, the words practically popping out of his teeth, "... ...I-I'm just like them."

Alex: Confused: "? What you're like them, what can you be like them ......".

In the middle of his speech, Alex remembered Tang Er hitting those inexplicable shyness and obedience in front of Bai Liu, his words eerily stopped.

Then after an unknown interval, Alex with a blank expression looked up at the six-foot-two Tang Er hit and opened his mouth shakily, "...... you the one down there too?!"

Tang Er hit his eyelids trembling, the whole person red, he nodded his head with extreme difficulty.

"You wouldn't ......" Alex's pupils continued to quake, "originally have a crush on Bai Liu, but since you and Bai Liu are both below, you can only be friends with him? "

Tang Er hit pursed lips don't face did not say.

This fell on Alex's eyes as a sitting duck, and he, as a 1, simply couldn't help but feel a twinge of pity for the 0 whose crush had gone nowhere, who had followed it obsessively into battle, and who was still 5'2".

He patted Tang Er's beatific arm, the figure that had made him so hostile could now only make him feel sighs and pity as Alex reassured, "Hey, cheer up, man, there's always someone here who can fuck you."

Tang Er typed: "......"
