Chapter 100, Learning of the System Trap

Before long, Li Hanmo realized he was overthinking things. It wasn't that the danger was too low; it was just that their Rain or Shine Team had been lucky and had avoided many deadly dangers.

"Are these people insane? They kill anyone they see, and even fake suicides. Don't they know that doing so will create a lot of wooden figures and endanger their own survival?"

Fu Yuchen killed another person who wanted him dead, and couldn't help but go berserk on the spot.

A steady stream of people wanted to kill them. In order to deal with these enemies, the Wind and Rain Unfazed Squad hadn't done much of the Wooden Man Hunting Mission, as this was related to the large number of points they needed to settle in the New World, and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

"Split up and try to figure out the secret behind those people's madness."

How many people would do something without any benefit? If you told me, even the most naive person in the team, Linlin, probably wouldn't believe it. There must be something fishy going on.

To deal with the endless stream of assassins, the only way is to start with something that benefits everyone.

"I know."

Zhong Bingxuan wanted everyone to split up, but Xiao Meng suddenly spoke up, not forgetting that Qiu Baixuan and his group were still looking for her.

This team is quite capable, but they have too many moral principles. They're even willing to take her along as a burden without pay, because they're worried that if the team members are scattered, the kind older sister might get killed by those bad guys.

You know?

Zhong Linlin looked at Xiao Meng with confusion. What does a little kid like Xiao Meng know?

Even if an adult has something to say, they wouldn't usually tell such a young child.

“My brother told me about this, and I’ve also seen other people do it.”

Xiao Meng didn't tell anyone about her brother's murder, worried that these kind-hearted people would be afraid of her.

Knowing that the wealth gained from murder would drastically change her brother's personality and even cost her her life, Mengmeng would have preferred that the two of them live in poverty for the rest of their lives.

"Then tell me, if I find out you're lying, you'll lose your head."

Fu Yuchen didn't quite believe Xiao Meng's words. In his mind, Xiao Meng was always an unreliable outsider who wasn't trustworthy.

"Killing people earns points, and the wooden figures that are turned into after being killed can also help the killer earn points. Some people have obtained a lot of points through this method."

Xiao Meng didn't mind Fu Yuchen's bad attitude. Having been through the ordeal with those bandits, Fu Yuchen's straightforward personality reassured her even more.

It was the cold, aloof older brother next to her that made Xiao Meng tremble more, and she couldn't help but move away from him.

That person is the most difficult to talk to in this group.

Zhong Bingxuan's disguise was very good, and Xiao Meng did not notice her wariness. In addition, it was Zhong Bingxuan who asked Xiao Meng to stay, so Xiao Meng trusted Zhong Bingxuan. To avoid Li Hanmo's cold scrutinizing gaze, she hid behind Zhong Bingxuan.

"Alright, Hanmo, put away your fierce look. You're scaring the child."

Zhong Bingxuan patted Xiao Meng's shoulder behind her and said gently, "Mengmeng, don't be afraid. Your brother Mo didn't mean to be mean to you. It's just that what you said is too unbelievable, making people suspicious."

"It's true, Sister Bingxuan, Mengmeng wasn't lying. There really are people using this method to plunder a large number of points in a short period of time."

Xiao Meng's brother is that kind of person. Those points are still in Xiao Meng's own system space. How could she not know if they were true or false?

However, this method has side effects, and Xiao Meng doesn't know whether she should tell anyone. If she does, what will she say if the older girls ask her how a little girl could have such a secret told to her?

Honestly, will the older girls look down on her, or become greedy and try to steal the points from her?

"Don't worry, Mengmeng. I'm not saying you're lying. Maybe you're a newbie and don't know much about the system. It's impossible for the system to provide such a big loophole for players to exploit."

Especially since players can get a ticket to the new world with hundreds of millions of points, allowing them to stop living in fear, these points are even less likely to be obtained so easily.

"Yes, there's no such thing as a free lunch, unless the free lunch is poisoned and can kill you instantly."

As the person in the team who has experienced the most dungeons, Fu Yuchen is the most qualified to speak about the dog system's quirks.

Unless the system wants to kill that person and first makes them go crazy, this is unlikely to happen.

When Xiao Meng realized that she hadn't told the truth, the older sister's team sensed something was wrong. They weren't blinded by greed and ignored the suspicious circumstances, so they tried to take a shortcut through murder.

If she and her brother had been with the older sisters' group, her brother probably wouldn't have died. He used to be someone who wouldn't even kill a chicken, but in the end, he became a ruthless killer.

No matter how good her brother was to Mengmeng, she knew that the brother she knew later was not the same as the brother she knew before.

If Qiu Baixuan and his group hadn't been impatient and wanted to get rid of his brother for fear of something going wrong, who knows what might have become of him.

"Alright, let's not speculate here. Let's go and arrest a few people and see for ourselves."

In the end, it was Zhong Bingxuan, as the person in charge of the team, who made the final decision and determined the team's subsequent action plan.

"Linlin, you and I will go ahead with the child. The other two will watch from behind."

Li Hanmo and Fu Yuchen remained silent. These two grown men were clearly not to be trifled with, and they were not good bait.

"How about Mengmeng walks ahead by herself?"

Xiao Meng was prepared to be pushed out by the team to be used as bait, but to her surprise, the older sister did not do so. Instead, she went on an adventure with her.

This won't do. The kind older sister can't be harmed; she'll feel terrible about it.

"What can a little kid like you do? What if those people have some special tools? You'll be dead on the spot. Come on, hide behind your sister and don't get hurt."

Zhong Bingxuan's gentle voice brought tears to Xiao Meng's eyes. She didn't insist any further, nodded in agreement, and followed Zhong Bingxuan's steps one by one.

Zhong Linlin felt something was off. Was her cousin such a kind person? How come she didn't know?

But then I thought, if what Xiaomeng said was true, then that would be the greatest reward for them. It was normal for my cousin to be a little gentler with Xiaomeng, so I didn't take it to heart and followed on my cousin's left side, protecting Xiaomeng a little.

"Li Hanmo, don't you think your partner is acting a little strange?"

Fu Yuchen always called Zhong Bingxuan a fierce woman, so he knew that Zhong Bingxuan was not a very good person.

Now, this sudden change in behavior, this gentleness towards a child, gave Fu Yuchen goosebumps all over.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to help if you dawdle like this."

Li Hanmo did not answer Fu Yuchen's silly question. Linlin was too simple-minded to see it, but could it be that Fu Yuchen, an experienced player, could not see that the child had something else to say?
