Chapter 33: Game Lobby
The spatial separation between player and player occurs when there is a tendency to attack, how does this thing manage to make his lifesteal drop red all at once!
"Siren's fishbone." Bai Liu had no intention to cover up, he open his clothes to show Mu Sicheng the fish bone on his waist, and before Bai Liu realized it, the fish bone contracted a few times, wrapped Bai Liu's waist tightly, and covered all the skin that Bai Liu could show.
Bai Liu said frankly, "You should have seen this prop in my prop bonus."
This is also the reason why Bai Liu did not cover up, this thing has already been "pulled out to show the public" by the system, Bai Liu also does not have any hidden props in the mind, in the case of [live] and Wang Shun's mouth [forums] exists, Bai Liu as long as the props in the game, sooner or later one day everyone will know, there is absolutely no need to hide the props function outside. One day everyone will know about it, so there is no need to hide the props function from the public.
But his personal skills are special, but can be hidden, is a good card, Bai Liu is ready to hide as long as possible.
However, Bai Liu is also blind to the specific function of the props, he also need to experiment, Bai Liu does not want to experiment in the game, because the risk is too great, in case the props against the monster overturned Bai Liu will be very easy to die, the best way to experiment outside the game to figure out the function of the props, and then enter the game directly to use.
Experimenting outside of the game requires subjects, and Bai Liu felt that Mu Ke, who is trapped and dying, would be a good and obedient subject for him to experiment on.
Bai Liu was not going to experiment on Mu Sicheng, but Mu Sicheng's hand was too cheap, and he directly touched it, which in turn made Bai Liu realize that this Fish Bone Whip can attack people in the system hall, in other words, it can indeed tear through space.
"It's said to be able to tear through time and space, I'm going to try it on Mu Ke." Bai Liu watched Mu Ke on the small TV and naturally lifted his whip ready to fling it.
Wang Shun fell into a state of confusion where he couldn't understand Bai Liu's thoughts at all, "Wait a minute! Bai Liu, what are you doing? What if you throw a whip right in and kill Mu Ke?!"
Mu Sicheng reacted quickly to what Bai Liu was trying to do and snorted, "You're going to save him? That's very kind."
"No." Bai Liu smiled slightly, "It's not exactly a rescue, I'm going to trade with him."
Bai Liu drew his fishbone whip from his waist, flicked it twice to move his wrist, took a deep breath and lifted the fishbone to take a swing at Mu Ke's little TV.
At the moment of exertion Bai Liu felt as if his left arm holding the whip weighed a thousand pounds, and the barely swung fishbone hit a transparent barrier in front of the small TV and quickly drooped, but with that small swing, the bottom of the sea in Mu Ke's small TV began to shake and vibrate, and the small TV flickered as if it had a bad signal.
Everything around Bai Liu shattered into a glassy landscape the moment the whip fell, and Mu Sicheng and Wang Shun's appearance became blurred and disoriented, as if they were in bad contact with a television, their characters becoming distorted and distant.
Bai Liu was in total darkness, but he could hear more clearly the sound of the waves coming from Mu Ke's small TV as if he were there, and Mu Ke's hysterical pleas for help as he cried his eyes out, snotting and tearing up.
Mu Ke, as if he too had realized what had descended to the bottom of the sea, began to frantically plead for help.
"Somebody help me!!!" Mu Ke dropped to his knees in a bubble of broken water at the bottom of the ocean, he was dying and weeping, "I'll do anything! Please save me!"
Bai Liu tried to swing another whip, but the system suddenly issued a warning:
[System Warning: Using this item is extremely exhausting for Bai Liu, player Bai Liu's stamina can't be loaded to use it again, if he uses it reluctantly, his stamina will be reduced to a negative number, and he will be forcibly repatriated and sent out of the game].
Bai Liu instantly gave up: [Then I am now in the same latitude as Mu Ke?
[System: under calculation ...... player Bai Liu and player Mu Ke's latitudes have a small overlap due to some kind of attack, player Bai Liu is currently in the middle of the crack between the two latitudes that were torn apart, and can only propagate sound, not picture, and can barely conduct some simple transactions]
"Voice?" Bai Liu was thoughtful as he whispered Mu Ke's name, "Mu Ke."
Mu Ke instantly howled and crawled several times on his hands and knees in the bubble, and answered Bai Liu with a whimper like a lost dog: "I'm here! What are you! Help me!"
"I'm a wanderer." Bai Liu whispers, looking at Mu Ke on the small TV, having a hard time connecting the sniveling man with the strutting young lord who drove him away.
In a way Bai Liu became a [poor drifter] because of Mu Ke's whim, but now Mu Ke is recklessly begging for help from this drifter he drove away, who will take what is left of Mu Ke, what is valuable, in a horrible deal.
Very marvelous chain of logical turns.
"I can save you, but it's not gratuitous because I'm also poor." Bai Liu said honestly, "You need to make a deal with me, as payment, I will give you bounty points to save you, but accordingly, you need to give me something."
"Can! I'll give you whatever you want!!!! Please save me!!!" Mu Ke cried out as he reached out to touch the non-existent god, "Are you a god? Or a system? Where are you? What do you want me to give you! Money? Or something else! I don't have anything on me right now oooooooo...... don't give up on me, I want to live!!!"
"I'm not a god, and objectively speaking, I shouldn't be a good presence for you." Bai Liu evaluated himself very sensibly.
Although he doesn't have any particularly extreme malice towards this little young master, it's just an ordinary level of dislike, but his very ordinary dislike towards a person is already quite scary, Bai Liu pragmatically thinks, "I should be considered as a demonic type of existence to you."
"Words of the devil ...... So you want my soul?" Mu Ke flinched, his eyes were vacant for a moment before the next second they erupted into a light like never before, "I'm willing to offer you my soul if you save me."
The words [I want your mermaid amulet] hit Bai Liu's lips as he raises an eyebrow in slight surprise, suddenly intrigued by the brand new motion Mu Ke is proposing.
He did need the [Amulet of the Mermaid], but at the same time Bai Liu also needed an experimental subject to experiment with the specific role of that strange skill of his [Old Wallet], and one of the items in the explanation of the [Old Wallet] was that it was possible to trade souls ......
"Deal." Bai Liu smiles as he pulls two hundred points from his crumpled wallet and hands them to Mu Ke on the small TV, the coin on his chest lighting up and the points disappearing.
[System: Player Bai Liu used 200 points to buy Player Mu Ke's soul]
[System Alert: Player Mu Ke has gained two hundred points to recharge]
Mu Ke almost cried out with a woof when he saw these two hundred points, ''You really are the devil! I've sold my soul to you, but you're too stingy! Only two hundred points! It's too little, not enough for me to buy props!"
"I am indeed stingy, am I a poor wanderer." Bai Liu reasoned back, "But two hundred points plus this broken water bubble you're in right now, operating according to my words is enough for you to survive, open your system store and go buy alcohol, yes alcohol, eh, can you stop crying, you're crying louder than I'm talking brother... ..."
----
When Mu Ke succeeded in clearing the level, Bai Liu found a brand new coin in his wallet that looked like a Polaroid photo, with Mu Ke's black and white smiley face printed on it, [200 Points] reflected in the corner, and [Soul Money] written on the back, and an explanation popping up when Bai Liu swiped at it with the System Manager:
[Props: Player Mu Ke's Soul Coin]
[Usage: You own the soul debt of Player Mu Ke, and have all the rights to dominate, control, raise, and kill Player Mu Ke].
Dominate, regulate, nurture, obliterate, Bai Liu narrowed his eyes-isn't that all the power the system has over the player?
It turns out it's called [soul debt ownership].
In other words, the system enjoys the ownership of this soul debt to all players, so furthermore, can we say that these players have sold their souls to the system when they entered this game?
It's kind of fun.
Bai Liu asked: [So it's like I'm Mu Ke's system from now on? Who has more authority over Mu Ke, me or the game's official system?
[System: Under calculation ...... When there is a conflict between the system and player Bai Liu's deployment of player Mu Ke, player Bai Liu's current lack of strength will be taken into account and the system's decision will prevail]
Tsk, actually based on strength, then in the future, if he was stronger, could he still take away the system's power to dominate Mu Ke? Or even he can dominate the system in turn?
But now these visions Bai Liu can only think about, he is now at the bottom of the stamina value, think no more, he walked out of that black crack, dizziness swirled for a while, almost legs softly kneeling on the ground - the aftermath of the bottom of the stamina.
Wang Shun hurriedly held Bai Liu: "What happened to you just now? You swung a whip and suddenly stopped moving."
Mu Sicheng looked at Bai Liu thoughtfully, "How did you do that? Mu Ke just passed the level the same way you did before."
