Chapter 34: Reality

"My personal skills." Bai Liu smiled at him weakly, "You're curious aren't you, do you need me to show you my personal skills again? I have zero stamina right now, if you give me a bottle of stamina restorer I'll show you again."

"Of course I don't whore out your strength restorers for nothing." Bai Liu repeats the trick and pulls out another one-point coin, smiling, "How about a one-point exchange for you?"

Mu Sicheng: "......"

Well, no one's changing with you!

One minute later.

[System Alert: Trade established, Vagabond Bai Liu receives a bottle of Strength Restorer]

【System Alert: Player Mu Sicheng has gifted Player Bai Liu a bottle of Stamina Restorer, worth 180 points, can restore 90 points of Stamina】.

Mu Sicheng was going crazy, he wanted to ride on the back of Bai Liu, who was recovering his strength, and strangle the goods who was lazily drinking the recovery agent, he fiercely forced Bai Liu to ask: "How the hell did you do it! Stealing and robbing is forbidden here! Only players are allowed to trade and give props to each other! It's impossible for you to steal from my game warehouse!"

Still in front of him! Twice! Two for May!

Mu Sicheng had never been the only one to steal from others, and this was the first time someone had fucking stolen from him!

"Personal skills." Bai Liu drank the stamina restorer in one gulp, after feeling strong in his hands and feet, Bai Liu smiled and slanted his eyes to sweep a glance at Mu Sicheng, "If you still need me to show you again, you can ......"

"No, no need." Mu Sicheng interrupted Bai Liu with an expressionless face, he'd be a fool to fall for this one again.

"Ah, the residency fee I paid yesterday is about to expire, I have to quit the game first." Wang Shun greeted Bai Liu and prepared to exit the game, and reminded Bai Liu, "Bai Liu, to stay in this game lobby, you need to pay the residency fee to the system every day, and the residency fee is different for each level of player, you need to pay 100 points every day for your level."

"My payment is due, I'll leave now, see you next time." Wang Shun politely bids farewell to Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng.

"Tch, I'm getting off too." Mu Sicheng glanced at his watch and swept a glance at Bai Liu, "I have things to do in the real world, I'll see you next time, Bai Liu."

"Next time I come to play games with you." Mu Sicheng suddenly revealed a nasty full smile, "I'll get back whatever you tricked away from me today, Bai Liu."

After saying these words, these two people disappeared inside the game hall, Bai Liu was led by Wang Shun once, and returned to the previous [Newcomer Zone] boarding exit according to the original way, with a shivering Mu Ke cowering in the corner of the boarding exit trembling and covered in wretched tearstains.

This little young master actually looks quite good, is a very delicate Japanese beauty boy looks, this corner of the eye red eyelashes with tears of the soft look look absolutely let a large number of girls heartache shouting mother love you.

But Bai Liu, as a money-loving androgynous game designer who gives his few moments of motherly love to the horrific bosses he designs and the money he makes, lacks a basic empathy for human appearance, and it takes at least a level of beauty like King Seiren to impress him.

Bai Liu crouched down, and Mu Ke shrank back a bit warily, his thorns standing on end, tears still in his eyes, and a lingering brutal hostility in his expression, "Get out of the way!"

"For the first time, no, the second time we meet, young master Mu." As soon as Bai Liu opened his mouth, Mu Ke was completely dumbfounded, Mu Ke looked up at the squatting Bai Liu in a somewhat bewildered manner, tears dripping from his eyelashes onto the ground, he let out a hiccup, and didn't tell Bai Liu to get lost, but just stared blankly at Bai Liu.

Mu Ke recognized the voice, the voice that had saved his life when he was about to die, the one he had sold his soul to, the one that had easily burned the monsters he had never been able to get rid of for two hundred points, the devil who claimed to be a very poor wanderer.

Bai Liu looked down calmly at Mu Ke: "This is the second time you've seen me, but it seems you don't remember, and that's okay, after all, we're in a whole new relationship now."

"Well then, Mu Ke, first time meeting, I am the owner of your soul claim, my name is Bai Liu." Bai Liu extends his hand to Mu Ke.

It was only after a long time that Mu Ke cried out with a wow sound as if he had suppressed it to the extreme, he rushed towards Bai Liu and hugged him, the tears he had been holding back for a long time once again gushed out wildly, and Mu Ke cried like a child who had not been able to see his parents easily and could not catch his breath:

"What took you so long!!!"

At that moment, Mu Ke thought that he was embracing a devil that he had to rely on when he was desperate, but it was only much later that Mu Ke realized that he was embracing a god disguised as a devil.

He offered his faith and soul to Bai Liu, who gave him a heart and a new life.

Bai Liu logged out of the game with Mu Ke, the young master, at Bai Liu's house.

It was almost midnight when he logged out, the young master's eyes were like springs of water, he cried for a whole night after he came out, until he passed out, he still grabbed the sleeve of Bai Liu's shirt and wouldn't let go of it, and when Bai Liu said to go home, the young master's cries could lift the roof of the house, he refused to go back, he said that he had sold his soul to Bai Liu, but he was still kicking him out! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that!

It's quite invigorating.

Bai Liu felt that it was because of the fledgling bird effect and the drawbridge effect that caused this young master to feel violently secure with Bai Liu, the devil who was supposed to play the role of the bad guy, and that in the short term, if Mu Ke could not snap out of his fear, he should not leave Bai Liu's home easily.

But Bai Liu didn't want to leave Mu Ke in his house.

The reason was very simple: it was too annoying for this little young master to cry.

So Bai Liu called his top boss five minutes after Mu Ke fell asleep to inform him to come and collect Mu Ke, the son of the big boss, who was now staying at his house and not leaving.

Bai Liu's top boss was so shocked when he received Bai Liu's call that he spilled coffee on his computer keyboard.

He has never liked Bai Liu as a subordinate, mainly because Bai Liu has too much of his own ideas about the game, every time he asked him to add any elements that follow the trend of the market, Bai Liu would directly say that the design of the game is already full, and the plot will be added to create bugs and so on, and said that he could not add it.

In fact, not to add in is not a big deal, it is not necessary to add, but the supervisor just do not like Bai Liu this kind of disobedient attitude, a work for him, let Bai Liu do what to do is, find so many excuses, make it seem as if he is more noble like.

After Mu Ke took over Bai Liu's shift and did almost nothing, the supervisor had to wipe the young master's ass and take over Bai Liu's job, only to find out that the old Bai Liu wasn't disobedient or some kind of excuse maker, Bai Liu was just being honest.

Now it's his turn to do Bai Liu's job, the nitpicker has become Mu Ke, Mu Ke is also three or four ideas a day, tormenting the boss, sometimes he said that he could not add in the change after the end, Mu Ke will sneer, said you do not listen to my advice, I can be replaced by someone who will listen to my advice to sit in your position.

Now the position under the boss's ass is also in jeopardy, so it's not easy for this young master do not know where to play disappeared for a day, I did not expect that actually appeared in Bai Liu's home!

The boss can not help but think more, this Bai Liu and this young master, in the end what is the relationship ...... but think more useless, he is now nominally Mu Ke's boss, in fact is Mu Ke's nanny, is bound to go over to pick up the person.

When the supervisor arrived at Bai Liu's home, Mu Ke was still sleeping, the supervisor saw Bai Liu a little bit of weakness and embarrassment, but Bai Liu is not much feeling, he used the points before coming out to exchange for 100,000 yuan, the game's points are quite valuable, and the exchange ratio of RMB is 1,000 to 1,000, a hundred points can be exchanged for 100,000 yuan.

With money in hand, Bai Liu now looks at everyone calmly, even when he sees this boss who doesn't know anything and always likes to tell him what to do, Bai Liu also politely opens the door and lets him in, saying, "Mu Ke is still sleeping, he cried all night last night and just went to sleep, don't wake him up."

Bai Liu's intention was not to wake up Mu Ke who continued to cry his brains out, but Mu Ke grabbed Bai Liu's shirt (which Bai Liu directly took off to Mu Ke) and insecurely curled up into a small ball on the bed, with red eyes and nose, and some suspicious bruises on his body (aftereffects of the game), matched with Bai Liu's words just now. --The supervisor accepted the amount of information that came to him blankly, and gave a stiff "Oh".

So Bai Liu and Mu Ke have this kind of relationship! Why didn't Bai Liu tell him earlier? Why didn't Bai Liu tell him earlier? Then he wouldn't dare to fire Bai Liu!

"Then, otherwise, you let Mu Ke continue to sleep here with you, Bai Liu. "The supervisor actually didn't dare to wake up Mu Ke, this little young master has a particularly strong waking up temper, he would lose his temper when he was woken up by someone shouting at him during his nap, not to mention waking him up after being tossed around like this for the whole night.

And the superiors also feel very strange, Bai Liu put this little young master in bed tossed like this, get done and then call him to pick up, how to feel, a little slag ah ......

Bai Liu, of course, refused, "No, get rid of him, he's annoying me with his crying."

OP: "!!!!"

What a scum! How did Bai Liu say this kind of scummy and outrageous statement in a serious manner!

Mu Ke was awakened by the sound of the two men talking, his eyelashes fluttered twice before he woke up, subconsciously hugging the shirt in his arms tightly, and murmured in a small voice, "Bai Liu ......"

Seeing this scene of the boss expression is even more difficult to say, with a condemnation of the eyes looking at Bai Liu, Bai Liu seems to not feel the same, he was at work this boss every time to raise the opinion of Bai Liu hit back with this kind of condemnation of the eyes of the eyes of Bai Liu wrong things, Bai Liu has long been used to it.

He called out calmly, "Mu Ke, get up, someone's coming to get you."

Mu Ke slowly turns awake, he sees his supervisor by his bedside and realizes that Bai Liu has called for someone to come and get him.

Mu Ke reacted violently, subconsciously trying to grab Bai Liu's hand, and rebuking his boss in a bored and grumpy manner, his back arching and showing his teeth as if he were a cat being taken to a place he didn't like: "Go away! I'm not going back, I'm staying here!"

"This is my place." Bai Liu's demeanor was still light as he dodged Mu Ke's hand that came to grab him, "And I won't allow you to stay here, Mu Ke, go back."

Mu Ke's body stiffened, he turned his head to look at Bai Liu, trying to grab Bai Liu's hand fell short halfway, Mu Ke's eyes began to redden again, his lips weng moved, "Bai Liu, I will be good, don't you drive me away ......"

"I'm ordering you as the two of us, Mu Ke." Bai Liu said calmly, "You don't have the right to refuse."

Bai Liu can actually understand that Mu Ke doesn't want to leave, this person's desire to survive is very strong, and Bai Liu saved him in that situation, which made Mu Ke subconsciously equate [staying by Bai Liu's side] with [being able to live], rather than Mu Ke's dependence on Bai Liu, it is more likely that Mu Ke is afraid of the environment [without Bai Liu's protection]. Instead of being dependent on Bai Liu, Mu Ke is afraid of the environment without Bai Liu's protection.

Mu Ke's tears slipped down, he bit his lower lip and looked at Bai Liu for a long time, finally he obediently got off the bed and stood behind his superior with a pale and trembling face, Mu Ke's fear almost hanging on his face.

Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke like this and felt the need to issue some level of guidance to this player who possessed a soul of his own, just like the system did to the player.

"Mu Ke, if you stay this vulnerable and can't survive apart from me and have something more valuable to me." Bai Liu says softly, "Then I will soon abandon you, understand? Because I can still have as many people like you as I do with you, but you only have me."

"I... I know." Mu Ke's lips whitened as he softly responded, lowering his head and lifting a hand to wipe his eyes, controlling his sobs, "I'll try to be useful to you."

The boss, who had watched the whole thing, was in a state of prostration, feeling as if he had watched a cold and heartless scene of a scum attacker who had stepped on n boats, pua bitchy subject. The face was too shocked to show a state of death, and he looked at Bai Liu with a bit of fear.

Bai Liu actually dares to talk to this young master Mu Ke like this! What is his status!

Mu Ke followed his boss who was in a trance, and when he was out of the door, the boss who couldn't hold his breath still asked, "Mr. Mu, what is your relationship with Bai Liu?"

"What relationship?" Mu Ke's eyes were vacant and he seemed to be talking to himself, "I belong to him, he owns my soul and is my master."

OP: "......"

What the hell are you guys playing at!

I didn't realize that Bai Liu on the surface of the thick eyebrows, behind the scenes is actually a S / M master, and looks like a top S, actually all Mu Ke this kind of arrogant young master trained into this small good cat look ......

The supervisor shivered, he shivered and led Mu Ke away without tears.

--Feeling like I've sacked the very least.

------

After Mu Ke left, Bai Liu turned on the top-of-the-line alien computer that Mu Ke had compensated him for earlier, and he began to look up information about "Siren Town".

After a forward search, a reverse search, and a search for Jeff Andre's name yielded no matches, Bai Liu rubbed his stiff neck and pondered - the game wasn't real, but if it was a virtual one - - - - - - - But if it's a virtual product -

Bai Liu stares deep in thought as he teases a thread from his neck with his index finger, a dollar coin with a hole in the center hangs from it, his manager for the game, Bai Liu flips it over the back of his hand as if it were a playful thing, but the coin is unresponsive, no game panel pops up, and his gaze ponders.

--If the game is a complete virtual product, how did this thing follow him to [reality]?

And, Bai Liu fiddled with the coin, and the coin and a thin, cicada-like scale separated, and a translucent fish scale with a texture like ice was threaded through and hung around Bai Liu's neck, sticking to the coin and emitting an eerie, dense, and variegated light.

Bai Liu only realized after he came out that he suddenly had a piece of scale on his neck, if he was right, this was the prop he got [Siren's Reverse Scale], he just didn't know why it would follow him out of the game without him taking it out at all.

However, considering the system's advice on this prop - [The fish scale represents King Seiren's reply to your favorites, and he hopes that the player will wear it for a long time], Bai Liu went along with it after wearing it for a night and finding that there was no abnormality.

But this is also what Bai Liu is thinking about. It doesn't make sense to virtualize the game into something like a [thought palace], something like the composition of human consciousness, because there are actual things like coins and scales, which means that [the game] should be an objective and real existence.

But where there are signs, there are signs, and it's strange that Bai Liu hasn't found any signs of this game's existence on the web.

Because, for example, besides Bai Liu, there must be other players who have entered this game, after all, there will be a hundred players logged in at a time, as long as one or two survived to casually post something related to this game or microblogging or circle of friends, in this kind of big data era where the flow of data is extremely fast, Bai Liu will be able to find out, but Bai Liu did not find any similarity with the concept of this game. But Bai Liu didn't find anything similar to the concept of this game.

What has existed must have traces ...... Bai Liu pondered the reason for the lack of traces-

Unless that trace was erased.

Bai Liu squinted his eyes as he opened his Weibo account, sent out a paragraph with specific information about Serenity Town and the game, clicked send, and as a result, he watched as the tweets he sent out faded as if they were fading and then disappeared into thin air.
