Chapter 320: Reality
"It's unknown at this point why Russell Cemetery forfeited their midseason berth, but all in all this team is our number one preseason foe."
Wang Shun Clicks on the panel and a bloody lamb avatar pops up on the PPT:
"In addition to Russell Cemetery, the other team we need to focus on is called the Frenzied Lambs, last place finishers in last year's midseason tournament."
"This team was the first place winner of the pre-season tournament the year before, the team they met in the challenge was the Deer Hunters, the tactician was still the Counter God, and not surprisingly, the Frenzied Lambs lost the challenge, but still managed to make it to last year's mid-season tournament."
Wang Shun looked up, "The reason I mention this match specifically, is because it was in this match that Inquisitor of the Counter God, a notoriously moderate tactician, got his hands on someone for the first time in the game, and he killed the opposing tactician."
"But since this tactician was a popular player that year, and had a get-out-of-jail-free card, this man is still currently the tactician for the Wild Lambs, and continues to be active on the field."
"During the Wild Lamb Challenge, the entire Deer Hunter team took the field with injuries, including Against the Gods, and when I looked into it, I found out that their injuries weren't in-game injuries, but injuries that they brought in from reality."
"Then, I went and looked up the game during the preseason at the Wild Lamb and found something very strange."
"I've found that as long as the Fanatical Lambs are up against a very strong or reputable team, that team's battlers will in reality have accidents and compete in tournaments with injuries."
"There have even been a couple of occasions when the opponents of the Lamb of Frenzy, on the eve of the competition, have had a core member of their team die."
Wang Shun said very seriously, "That's why I made a guess, there are information gatherers with skills similar to mine in this Frenzy Lamb, who can somehow get information about a player's exact address in reality, and then attack each other in reality."
Mu Sicheng didn't hold back a tsk, "What a bitch, if you can't beat them, do it in reality."
"It's true that it's cheap, but in reality you guys aren't as savvy as you are in the game, you're all just normal people." Wang Shun emphasized, "You guys are already a very bright pre-season team, make sure you protect yourselves in reality."
"Especially Bai Liu."
Wang Shun looked to Bai Liu : "Mu Sicheng is a registered college student, Liu Jiayi just went through a big incident and is under multiple surveillance, Captain Tang is very capable of self-preservation, Mu Ke's family is a big plutocrat, and only you."
"You're a socially marginalized person now."
All eyes moved to Bai Liu.
"I said Bai Liu." Mu Sicheng leaned over and held Bai Liu's shoulder, "Do you want to stay in my dormitory?"
Tang Er hit frowning, "The university dormitory security function is not good enough, Bai Liu, that small rental house of yours is not safe, I have a house near the base, why don't you move over and join me ......"
"Not near the base, when something happens at your base it's on him again." Liu Jiayi vetoed Tang Er's offer to fight, she looked to Bai Liu, "I think you can talk to Mu Ke and stay on his side, it's easy on money and movement."
Bai Liu If you think about it, "It is indeed inconvenient to live alone."
Several people came over at the same time and looked straight at Bai Liu: "So who do you live with?"
Bai Liu smiled, "At the moment my idea is to take Du Sanying over to live with us."
A few people were silent for a while, then Mu Sicheng first questioned, "Huh?"
After the meeting, Bai Liu logged out of the game from his rental house.
He took off his white shirt, which was covered in blood, and threw it into the laundry basket, rattled the locking clasp on his belt, and took off his pants and threw them into the basket with it.
Naked, Bai Liu stepped into the washroom, turned on the pomade, hooked off the hairline, tilted her head back with her eyes closed to let the warm water wash over her face, and then reached for the shampoo that sat next to the mirror.
The mirror was filled with water vapor, reflecting Bai Liu's upper body vaguely, Bai Liu looked at his hazy reflection in the mirror and paused for a moment.
Compared to when he had just entered the game, there were some changes in his body that were visible to the naked eye.
Bai Liu never orders takeout or milk tea after work because it's too expensive.
He also rarely participate in a variety of group building and meals and socializing, the most is to take a coupon every month to go and Lu Yizhan next time the restaurant, usually eat the unit's cheapest eight dollars a meat and a vegetarian set meal, meat dishes also include tomato scrambled eggs.
From early childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Bai Liu has never experienced a period of food abundance, and his lack of intake has caused him to seemingly lag behind the rest of the population.
As a child, Bai Liu was the smallest among his peers; as an adolescent, he was the thinnest in his class, and as an adult, he was almost stuck in the height line when looking for a job.
This year, Bai Liu is 24 years old, he looked at himself in the mirror and felt as if ......
Grown a little taller.
Tang Er beat Bai Liu intensely for more than a month, and that's not all the changes it brought to Bai Liu's body.
Bai Liu's skin color was originally the office for many years not see the sun's pale, and now can show a little blood, shoulders, neck and waist and back are stretching backward expansion, the original thin limbs and abdomen now actually raise the muscle line.
Especially on the back of the shoulders and abdomen, a thin layer of muscle wraps around Bai Liu's torso, making these areas look much more powerful.
Although Tang Er hit the kind of workout very neat six-pack abs, but Bai Liu rectus abdominis on both sides of the shallow depression, I feel that exercise exercise will soon be able to see the formation of abdominal muscles.
Mr. Bai Liu, an adult nearing 25, bizarrely feels as if he looks as if he has redeveloped.
After taking a shower, Bai Liu suddenly paused while rubbing his body.
He felt the whip marks on his back where Spades had left them.
But there was only a moment's pause, and Bai Liu dressed as if he hadn't touched anything, still in his white shirt and suit pants-the only two he had in his closet.
Later Bai Liu is going to pick up Du Sanying from the nursing home, and to make it more formal, Bai Liu even puts on a rare tie.
After going to the sanatorium to do a lot of formalities and having Du Sanying sign all the papers, Bai Liu smoothly took Du Sanying out of the sanatorium under the questioning and frightened eyes of the person in charge.
"I'm sorry to trouble you to pick me up." Du Sanying scratches his head apologetically, "Because I was judged to be incapable of personal mobility, it's still troublesome for me to be picked up from the sanatorium... Did Bai Liu ask for help?"
Bai Liu hmmm'd and took Du Sanying's suitcase, "Captain Tang helped find someone."
Actually, it was Su Yang who helped.
Su Yang feels that Du Sanying's staying at the nursing home with a small child who will cause accidents to people around him will not be beneficial to either Du Sanying or the nursing home.
Originally Su Yang was going to apply to send Du Sanying to a training camp near the base, but after Bai Liu offered to take care of Du Sanying, Su Yang was surprised and helped out.
Du Sanying followed Bai Liu with his head down, sneaking glances at the suitcase in Bai Liu's hand from time to time.
Bai Liu walked ahead and said without looking back, "If there's anything you want to ask, just ask."
Du Sanying hesitated for a moment before asking very quietly, "...... Is it really not going to affect you if I live with you?"
"I'm better off living alone in isolation ...... " Du Sanying's voice grew weak.
Bai Liu pushed his suitcase onward, his tone flat, "Do you want to live alone?"
Du Sanying lowered his head and looked at the corner of his shirt, "I've been living alone since middle school, and the people I lived with ...... whether it was friends or mom or dad or my sister, and then something happened."
"Uh-huh." Bai Liu said calmly, "I've read your profile, I've been informed of all these things."
"So you want to live alone?"
Du Sanying scrunches his head and whispers, "Don't want to."
Bai Liu dragged his suitcase and swept Du Sanying back, "You won't hurt me by staying with me, you can help me, you don't want to live alone, and I can take care of all your concerns, so any other questions?"
Du Sanying He straightened his chest with red eyes, and his voice suddenly got louder,, "No, no more!"
"Thank you Mr. Bai Liu for being willing to arrange for me to stay with you!"
"Oh no!" Du Sanying suddenly tapped his head and asked apprehensively, "One more question, Mr. Bai Liu, can you keep a parrot in your home?"
Bai Liu thinks for a moment, "It should be okay, the landlord didn't say no."
Du Sanying's eyes widened, "Mr. Bai Liu, do you live in a rental house?"
Bai Liu hmmm'd, "You don't like rentals?"
Du Sanying hurriedly waved his hand, "No no! I also rented an apartment to live in when I was in junior high school, I just think that people like Mr. Bai Liu ......"
Du Sanying wracked his brain trying to describe how he felt when he heard Bai Liu was living in a rented house: "Living in a rented house is weird."
Bai Liu looked sideways at Du Sanying: "What's so strange?"
"It's not strange ......" Du Sanying asked in a different way, "Why does Mr. Bai Liu live in a rented house?"
Bai Liu replied naturally, "Because I couldn't afford to buy a house, I rented one."
Du Sanying was shocked: "Isn't Mr. Bai Liu very rich!"
"I'm laid off and don't have much money." Bai Liu squinted at Du Sanying, "Although I saved some in the game later, I would feel bad if I used it to buy a house."
Du Sanying asked curiously, "Why?"
Bai Liu says, "Because I don't like to spend money on highly premiumized items."
Du Sanying listens with a plausible understanding oh, then looks to the suitcase in Bai Liu's hand, "Mr. Bai Liu you let me take it myself."
"Wait, Mr. Bai Liu is going to take a taxi home, right?" Du Sanying cautiously made a request, "I don't like taking a car, can I walk back by myself?"
Bai Liu asked lightly, "Is it because of experiencing many traffic accidents?"
Du Sanying nodded, his expression downcast again, "...... I'm very accident prone in a car, and any driver who meets me is too unlucky, so I usually walk."
"I don't like to take a taxi either, so I'll walk back with you." Bai Liu said.
Du Sanying's eyes first lit up, then his eyes couldn't help but turn into sun egg wave eyes, looking at Bai Liu with tears in his eyes: "Oooh, Mr. Bai Liu, you're fine."
Bai Liu squinted and swept Du Sanying's eyes, "I really don't like taking a taxi because it's too expensive."
Du Sanying: "......"
Bai Liu said he would not take a taxi to accompany Du Sanying on the road, and he did. Du Sanying would consciously take the paths with few people on the way back, and he would be too nervous to make contact with others.
Because of this, Bai Liu, they walk on older streets with those very old stalls on the side of the street.
Du Sanying, for example, saw a height and weight measuring machine, with an old man sitting next to it and a sign at his feet that read [three measurements for one dollar].
"It's so cheap." Du Sanying said to Bai Liu, "All I've seen before is a dollar at a time."
So Bai Liu stopped abruptly in front of this stall.
Du Sanying reacted for a moment and exclaimed, "Bai, Mr. Bai Liu, are you going to measure?!"
Bai Liu hmmm, found a dollar from his pocket and bent down to hand it to the old man next to the scale, then lifted his foot and stood on it without hesitation.
The measuring rod of the meter slowly descended, touched the top of Bai Liu's head, and slowly moved up again.
The loud speaker on the gauge emitted that flashing red light and broadcast loudly, "--Height 176.5 centimeters, weight 58 kilograms, normal thin!"
Bai Liu stood on top of the scale for a few moments until the loud speaker had finished shouting all three announcements, and then he walked slowly down.
On three occasions, when he saw Bai Liu coming down, Du Sanying subconsciously wondered if he should go up and take the measurements himself.
But it wasn't like that. Bai Liu walked down and then slowly walked back up and measured again.
Du Sanying : "????"
When all three measurements had been taken, Du Sanying followed behind Bai Liu, who he found inexplicably light on his feet, head over heels: "Mr. Bai Liu, why did you have to take three measurements?"
Bai Liu calmly said, "Re-confirm the established fact that my product adds value."
