Chapter 43: Explosive Last Train
This system notification is broadcasted from the subway, which means that everyone can hear that Bai Liu has triggered the main quest.
Du Sanying and Mu Sicheng both froze and looked at Bai Liu, who was leaning against the subway station and was unconsciously playing with the coins in his hand.
Bai Liu has just been sitting on the subway seat, while Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying are actively searching for clues in the car, Bai Liu's expression is just a faint sentence [I need to organize the information in my brain] and then sat on the seat, causing Mu Sicheng to be very speechless.
Bai Liu had told Mu Sicheng everything he knew about the bombing before, but Mu Sicheng hadn't thought deeply about it, because the focus was now on finding clues in the carriage to trigger the main quest.
The Last Train is a collectible horror game, and according to Mu Sicheng's gaming experience, you need to find the first thing to collect in order to trigger the main quest.
What Mu Sicheng doesn't realize is that the game can also trigger collection-oriented quests by parsing out key things to collect in the background.
I can't really blame Mu Sicheng for not thinking deeper, it's all in the mind.
Often newcomers to the game have little information and have to find the first thing they need to collect on the map in order to trigger a quest.
But Bai Liu is a bug, he's a newcomer and a game designer, he doesn't have this kind of mindset, he's accustomed to looking at the background of the game to figure out how the game is designed, plus Bai Liu knows enough about the background to simply backtrack and look for things he needs to collect.
He then also simply bumped right.
Upon hearing the system beep of Bai Liu triggering the main quest, Mu Sicheng and Du Sanying both froze in unison and turned their heads to look at Bai Liu who was resting on his seat.
Du Sanying didn't know Bai Liu well enough to go up and ask, but the way he looked at Bai Liu's eyes was already dying of curiosity, he wanted to know how this person triggered the main quest without moving a muscle.
Mu Sicheng didn't have so many scruples, as he directly stepped forward and asked the question in his mind, "How did you trigger the main quest? You didn't even move!"
This is also the general audience's voice, just now that the system beeps out, a lot of people listened to the silly for a moment, no one thought that in a rising star list of the third and fourth as well as the [lifting puppet master] are in the multiplayer horror game, the first to trigger the main quest is actually a new player who sits still!
It's not scientific at all!
"Shit! How did he trigger it! I guarantee he didn't move from start to finish!"
"...... Could it be that he just triggered the quest by sitting his ass directly on the broken lens? Sssh, I suddenly got a pain in my ass."
"Isn't this kind of good deed usually reserved for little parrots? How come it's this newcomer's turn?"
Mu Sicheng lifted Bai Liu up directly with both hands through the crease and looked suspiciously underneath Bai Liu's seat, "Did you just sit on your butt on the mirror? Did you just trigger the main quest?"
Bai Liu clenched his fists expressionlessly, "Mu Sicheng, put me down."
Bai Liu, who is 5'6", hates it when people do this to him! When Bai Liu was a kid, his dream was to cut off the ankles of anyone taller than him with a machete!
If someone dares to lift him up like that, Bai Liu will make him realize that being tall is a crime, and if it weren't for the fact that Bai Liu will need Mu Sicheng later--
Bai Liu stopped his overly tyrannical conception, Mu Sicheng put down Bai Liu hesitantly with a chill on his back and turned his head to look at him, "How did you trigger the quest without the lenses? You just didn't move at all."
"Why am I not moving." Bai Liu patted the non-existent dust on his body where Mu Sicheng had touched him and looked up at Mu Sicheng amiably, "My brain is moving, Mu Sicheng."
Mu Sicheng : "......" Bai Liu This kind of look at the retarded eyes, he feels that he has been abused.
After Bai Liu straightened his clothes, he lifted his eyelids in a good mood and said to Mu Sicheng, "And haven't I told you the key information? Can't you figure it out yourself? How much intelligence do you have? Can't you even figure this out?"
Mu Sicheng: "......"
You fucking just told me 100 million for the mirror, if it was you you'd kill the keeper and steal the mirror and the collection for a massive cash grab, what the fuck kind of key information is that!
And Bai Liu, you pervert, stop looking at me with that look of a low life!
Bai Liu clapped his hands and explained to Mu Sicheng as he walked away, Du Sanying followed behind them cautiously, Bai Liu's volume was not intentionally lowered, Du Sanying behind him listened with a slight look of surprise - so it can be deduced like this behind him, Du Sanying listened with a slight look of surprise - it can be deduced this way.
The audience was also shocked:
"What's this new player's name, I feel like his thought process is a little interesting and I want to go around and watch his little TV."
"...... This is the first time I've seen someone trigger a main quest before Du Sanying in a collectible game where Du Sanying is present. ...... This newcomer is so awesome, he triggered it faster than Du Sanying, who has a 100% luck value. It's faster than Du Sanying, who has 100% luck. ......"
......
"The main quest is to collect lenses, or to collect them without knowing the exact number ...... "Mu Sicheng sidelong glanced at Du Sanying, who was following them pretending to be searching, with his lollipop in his mouth, and somewhat grumpily licked his sugar stained sticky lips, ''You're just going to give him the information directly like this? He's going to find a lot of mirror pieces later."
"The guy's lucky beyond belief, he's very good at finding things, and even the lenses we find are likely to fall into Du Sanying's hands in all sorts of weird ways, so you're not going to guard against him?"
Bai Liu gave Mu Sicheng a strange look, "Why should I defend myself against him?"
Mu Sicheng's face was very unattractive: "Didn't I tell you, the lens we're looking for, it's also possible ......" to be taken by Du Sanying ......
"Who told you we were looking for lenses?" Bai Liu squinted at Mu Sicheng, his remaining light swept from Du Sanying behind him, and then withdrew it as if nothing had happened, "We're not looking for them, let Du Sanying look for them, isn't he good at it? Let him slowly find enough, it's best if he can collect them all after searching."
"Are you trying to ......" Mu Sicheng was stunned, "wait for Du Sanying to finish his collection and directly rob him?"
Bai Liu: "Uh-huh."
Mu Sicheng licked his back teeth with his tongue, "As much as I would like to carry out this plan of yours, it won't work Bai Liu, you don't even understand what the concept of Du Sanying's one hundred percent luck is."
Saying that, Mu Sicheng seemed to have thought of something that made his unbearable suffocating memories, his back teeth biting cackling and rubbing hard, looking very grim, "As long as you try to rob Du Sanying's stuff, your luck value will fall, keep falling, encountering all sorts of unlucky things, even when you've already got your hand in his system warehouse, you can be interrupted by the monster, in short, you just can't grab it."
"Oh." Bai Liu was still indifferent, "That's because you can't, I might be able to."
Mu Sicheng was really annoyed by Bai Liu's stubbornness for a moment, "I told you, Du Sanying is 100% lucky, no player can grab his stuff, not even Spades."
As the system says - [Du Sanying is the favorite of the God of Luck].
"You said that Du Sanying runs his Lucky Value by influencing the fortunes of things around him right?" Bai Liu finally sheds a square look at Mu Sicheng, who again looks at Bai Liu with that sighing look at a fool, "But I can't be influenced by him ah, my luck value is 0 and doesn't go down anymore, his luck doesn't make me more unfortunate."
Mu Sicheng was stunned, and Bai Liu turned his head back with calm, unperturbed eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "Then my misfortune might just make him more unfortunate, don't you think, Mu Sicheng?"
Du Sanying, who was sneaking behind Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng, had a cold chill on the back of his neck and got goosebumps for no reason, and he looked at Bai Liu in front of him with a little bit of confusion ---
--That strange, unfortunate and fortunate premonition came back to him.
Mu Sicheng was finally intrigued by Bai Liu's statement, "If you're not looking for broken lenses, then what are you going to do in this collection-oriented game, Bai Liu? Just sitting still like you just did?"
"Of course not." Bai Liu smiled slightly as he gazed at the empty carriage in front of him, revealing a look of pleasure as if he had seen gold and silver, "You just told me that robbery is allowed in this game right? Do you think the Puppeteer has money?"
Mu Sicheng snorted, "You have a big mouth, you might be the one to die when the time comes."
"It's possible." Bai Liu was noncommittal, "But if I were him, I'd let me live, because I have a lot of value in surviving, and he should have realized that when he tried to make me into a puppet."
"Let's just see who becomes who's puppet." Bai Liu chuckled softly.
------
Zhang Gui narrowed his eyes and scanned the entire compartment as he held transparent silk threads on each of the ten fingers on each hand, each extending out to pierce the back of the necks of the other three players right in the center.
His index finger moved slightly, the transparent threads trembled, and one of the players who was lying on the ground and searching for something stood up straight as if he was being moved, Zhang Gui asked the player with a not-so-nice tone of voice, "Li Gou, did you find the broken lenses?"
Li Gou replied, "No."
Zhang Gui tsked with some impatience, an oil-painted puppet's face vivid with inverted eight-eyebrows and a downturned mouth, showing the fact that he was already angry.
"Been searching for almost half a car and haven't found it yet."
The three puppets stood trembling and bowed their heads, a giant light blue droplet of sweat appeared on the puppet's forehead and flowed downward in a single click as if animated, Li Gou stepped forward fearfully and repeated in a low voice, "Indeed, Master, there were no broken lenses to be found."
"Stop looking." Zhang Gui's fingers leaped, and the three puppets stood well in front of him in unison as if in military training.
Li Gou, who was standing in the center, inquired carefully, "Isn't the master going to look for it? Doesn't this game require you to collect broken lenses to pass the level, how can you pass the level if you don't look for them ......"
"Stupid." Zhang Gui looked at Li Gou with some pride and a bit of contempt, "Don't question any decisions made by me with an IQ of 93, understand?"
"The main quest wasn't triggered by us, but we should have been the first to start looking for it because of the numerical advantage of having searched for almost half a car without finding it, don't you get it?" Zhang Gui squinted at Li Gou.
Li Gou Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was indeed confused as well, "Understand, understand what?"
