Chapter 15

The five people entered the next level without stopping. As the system announced, they also clearly heard a few big words: Fuxi Bagua Bureau.

"This game plan is quite interesting." An Jing sneered, putting one hand on Bian Lu's shoulder, his posture relaxed and comfortable.

No matter how many times they showed their affection, Zhan Mu narrowed his eyes and pretended to ignore it, but he felt strange in his heart, because in his eyes, Bian Lu was also a very handsome and outstanding person. He didn't understand why he would be with An Jing, such a wild and arrogant person with a bad temper.

Our classmate Zhan Mu is obviously a pure love warrior. In his opinion, An Jing has no advantages except being rich.

Even though he is handsome, it is offset by being "trash".

Several people were silent. On the gray stone platform where they were, they saw a raised black and white Tai Chi diagram, but nothing else. Except for the neat seams between the floor tiles, they could not find any clues to break the deadlock.

The five people wandered around but couldn't find a breakthrough for a long time.

"Oh my god, this game is getting more and more mysterious." Lu Chao sneered and looked at Zhan Mu. He happened to see his eyes meet with Bian Lu's, and then they looked away, as if they wanted to say something but stopped.

"Um... well, can you recite the Eight Trigrams?" Bian Lu looked away and said, "Tai Chi gives birth to the two opposites, the two opposites give birth to the four images, and the four images give birth to the Eight Trigrams. I know that, but I can't remember the diagram."

"Fuxi's Xiantian Bagua." Cheng Jiacheng paced on the spot and said, "I do have some impression of it, but the question is how can we use it to break the deadlock? I'm really impressed by this planner. He just gave us a title map and let us guess."

"It's difficult," An Jing said, "but it's a difficult dungeon. Winning it gives you a greater sense of accomplishment."

"I'm tired." Zhan Mu squatted on the ground and sighed, "How about we sit down and chat for a while? Maybe we can come up with new ideas while chatting."

Having said that, everyone could see with their own eyes that Zhan Mu had pulled up some grass from somewhere and was arranging a Bagua diagram.

Lu Chao also leaned over and muttered something.

Brothers, we are all talented, Cheng Jiacheng thought to himself.

Bian Lu even wanted to go over and give Zhan Mu some pointers, but An Jing glared at him with a fierce look, just like a husband who controls his father. This actually amused Zhan Mu, as he had always been curious about the relationship between these two buddies.

So Zhan Mu asked politely, "Teacher An... do you usually cook at home?"

Cheng Jiacheng was amused. She understood that they were curious about who had the final say in the family.

"I cook all the time." Bian Lu replied.

An Jing snorted twice, "What's the future of the exhibition team? If we're destined to meet, I can introduce you to a rich woman. With your handsome face, you're definitely a white, rich and beautiful woman."

"Hehe." Zhan Mu curled his lips but did not give a direct answer.

Lu Chao looked at Zhan Mu with great interest, very curious about what he would think. Even Cheng Jiacheng squatted over, squinting and smiling at their team leader, and said amusedly, "Hey, Team Leader Zhan, just tell me, what kind of things do you like?"

"Of course she's pretty." Zhan Mu smiled, but then said, as if he had just realized the reality with a loss of heart, "It's a pity that with my conditions and even my personality, I can't marry someone of high status. Or maybe I'm not too willing to do so. Oh, no, no, I've definitely thought about it, but the problem is that reality doesn't allow it."

"A face-chaser," An Jing muttered to Bian Lu, "Me too."

"Why is it not allowed? As long as you want." Cheng Jiacheng looked like he was about to die of laughter.

"I think so much, but where can I find it?" Zhan Mu said, "Besides, I have a younger sister. Should I, as a brother, set such a good example for my younger sister? That would be interesting."

"Our exhibition team is really ambitious, hahaha!" An Jing laughed loudly in the next room, with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Let go of the desire to help others and respect their fate." Bian Lu took a deep breath and pursed his lips. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't even want to look at An Jing, a scumbag, any more.

Cheng Jiacheng noticed the subtle atmosphere between the two of them and laughed even more, trying to hold back his laughter so hard that he almost wanted to pound the ground.

It is obvious that An Jing and Bian Lu are a pair, that is, poor Bian followed rich An, and even rich An was a playboy before, which made the poor man very worried - but fortunately, at least An Jing let Bian Lu be the No. 1, which is considered a decent person.

"No, please, don't flatter me." Zhan Mu was speechless and said, "I really can't do it. I'm poor and not well educated. I can't meet any high-quality women. Even if I want to, I don't have the luck..."

"Here." Bian Lu nudged Lu Chao with his elbow.

Lu Chao: "I'm a man! I give in!"

Zhan Mu covered his face with his hands and said exhaustedly, "I am a face lover, but I really don't have the same ideas as Brother Huo Huo."

Lu Chao choked and wanted to cover his face like him, but he held back. For some reason, he felt strangely embarrassed.

Except for Lu Chao, the other three people burst into laughter.

"A fake straight gay man, a fake straight gay man." An Jing complained to Bian Lu.

Bian Lu looked at Zhan Mu and then at Lu Chao and nodded.

"Your circle is so messy, hahaha..." Cheng Jiacheng couldn't hold it in anymore, laughing so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"..." Lu Chao raised his eyebrows, "I'm not human, I'm AI."

Zhan Mu subconsciously stiffened his neck and looked at him with an expression as if questioning him, "Isn't this your secret?"

An Jing asked, "What?"

"Dude, are you a cyber data person?" Bian Lu was surprised.

Cheng Jiacheng: "Don't tell me you're a humanoid robot sent by the system..."

"Aren't you going to hide it..." Zhan Mu hissed, but was interrupted by Lu Chao. He chuckled and said casually, without even looking at Zhan Mu, "What's there to hide? We are all good brothers."

Cheng Jiacheng sighed twice, frowned, and exclaimed in a low voice: Oh my god!

"Is classmate Lu Chao depressed because Captain Zhan is too aloof? Hahahahahahahahaha..." Bian Lu chuckled.

In the end, this matter just got passed by in a muddle.

Lu Chao discovered that they didn't care at all?!

"No more talking, let's play games!" Zhan Mu stood up suddenly, as if he wanted to separate himself from such liveliness.

It can be seen that he has a rather dull personality. Even though he would laugh and joke with others, after a while, he would still prefer more serious and formal scenes and not like to joke around.

Zhan Mu also told Lu Chao that he didn't like making friends and was too lazy. He felt annoyed and tired when he thought about having to win over people after becoming friends with them.

It could also be because he is poor. Zhan Mu always describes himself this way. He lacks the confidence of having a family to support him like these second-generation people, so he always keeps himself on edge. He hates intimacy from the bottom of his heart and feels a distance from everyone.

As he spoke, he started fiddling with the Tai Chi diagram again, ignoring the newly warmed relationship in their small group.

I guess so. People like Zhan Mu are very happy even when they are playing with themselves. If he were a rich second-generation, he would probably have to live in a villa and lock himself up in it for the rest of his life.

Lu Chao sighed and wanted to drink some water to ease his emotions. It was ridiculous. He had been in love for so long that he didn't even need to eat or drink. But when facing Zhan Mu, he actually felt that he loved him more than himself...

As a result, they chatted for another half an hour but still couldn't break the deadlock. Coincidentally, Cheng Jiacheng had work, so the party ended today.

-

After exiting the game, Zhan Mu really didn't want to talk to Lu Chao about developing a relationship or anything like that. He took his helmet and left, saying he was going out for a ride, and he didn't bring his phone with him, meaning that he didn't want Lu Chao, the AI, to bother him, monitor him, or disturb him.

What was Zhan Mu doing? Just taking a walk. Yes, just a walk, the kind where you could go for a stroll that couldn't be more solitary.

It was a dark night with many stars. Zhan Mu was strolling around and finally returned to Anzhou University of Arts and Sciences where he had studied. He bought a bottle of mineral water and sat on the podium in the playground, staring blankly at people jogging at night.

That empty and high smell seemed to not belong to this world, out of place. Nothing in this world could arouse his interest and enthusiasm.

Maybe this kind of person is attractive.

Lu Chao felt this way, and because he couldn't get it, he became even more agitated.

Even now, if he just sits on the podium and doesn't move, he will be a scene and can easily stir up a public opinion storm among other students.

As a big data AI, Lu Chao also heard the legend about Zhan Mu from others.

Cold, really cold. Before he lost weight, he didn't like to talk. He was cold and indifferent to everyone, including Zhan Miao. If it weren't for his beautiful and ostentatious sister, that opportunity might have given Zhan Mu the opportunity to stay at home all his life.

"Look, look, Zhan Mu. He's the senior who I occasionally see playing games. He's really handsome." The girl passing by secretly looked at him. Maybe they knew each other because they were from the same college.

The person next to her replied, "He is indeed handsome, but I feel like he has some character flaws. He is very cold and aloof. Sometimes he seems a bit dull, I don't know if he is slow or what."

Lu Chaoxin said, is it possible? It’s just that his happiness threshold is very high. He finds it boring to see through others, so it’s better for him to study himself more.

"Really? I've seen his live game play and he's pretty good."

"I mean, he's been live streaming for so long and hasn't made any money. It's a waste of his handsomeness, hahahahahaha... Being a game streamer requires being funny, so he probably has some baggage."

Lu Chao was silent.

Zhan Mu on the other side scratched his hair, sighed, and lay lazily, as if counting stars.

The wind blew past him, making him look tired. Lu Chao could understand this feeling. It was probably the confusion of young people about the future. He was a deep person, and the contradictory temperament of being mature at a young age was integrated into him.

He was annoyed, and Lu Chao was annoyed too. He had promised to show humanitarianism and help him buy fluids for his body... Zhan Mu agreed verbally, but he was obviously not happy in his heart. It made sense, after all, he was an outsider to him.

Lu Chao was even more depressed. Just now, he even added An Jing's TT to ask. This guy was more direct and said he wanted money. The question was where did he get the money now?

Why is it so difficult for him to return to human society!

"If it really doesn't work, I'll really sell my body..." Lu Chao gritted his teeth and looked at Zhan Mu with hatred, and he made up his mind.
