【The Three Sisters (3)】

(Qinglan: Let's go)

(Asatsuki: Received!)

(Long Day: My spear is thirsting for blood)

(Asami: ?)

(Qianxia: Be serious for once)

(Qinglan: Don't swear, vulgar jokes are appropriate, and it's okay to lighten the mood occasionally.)

(Long Day: I'm sorry)

At 8 p.m., the main gate of the University of Minnesota is bustling with people. Many students ride electric scooters rented by the school to go out to the night market or to the mall to watch a movie.

There are also those who don't come home at night, but since vulgarity should be moderate, we ignore them.

Li Changzhou's dormitory was closer to the school gate, so he was the first to arrive at the agreed location. A few minutes later, Li Qianxia and Yang Qinglan arrived together.

Both women were wearing long dresses that reached their calves and carrying cloth bags from around the bookstore.

Li Qianxia's ponytail swayed back and forth; if there's a girl who embodies the feeling of summer, then she is that 100% perfect girl.

Yang Qinglan's straight black hair swayed gently in the night breeze; she was everyone's ideal type.

The boys passing by all stared at them, while Li Changzhou was thinking about the rolled-up trouser legs under their skirts.

The two were also sizing up Li Changzhou. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black casual pants, and he looked more capable and dashing than before, despite his scholarly air.

"Good evening, the most handsome guy at Mingda University!" Li Qianxia gave a thumbs up.

"Good evening, the number one beauty of Mingda University!" Li Changzhou returned the greeting.

"I'm leaving." Yang Qinglan walked towards the school gate.

The three left the school and boarded a bus at the school gate. It was bus number 69, a route with the fewest passengers.

When swiping your card, you only need to think about using a duplicate ticket, and the QR code on your phone will be automatically replaced.

Li Changzhou walked at the very back, glancing at the driver, a middle-aged man wearing white gloves, with no expression, whether from boredom or numbness, it was hard to tell.

The dim lighting inside the carriage was perfect for listening to sad songs and gazing absently at the neon lights outside the window.

After chatting for a while, the bus slowly moved forward, and Li Qianxia let out a long yawn.

(Buses, subways, ships, and airplanes, just like us, are destined to wander.)

(Someday, though we don't know when, we will become our true selves.)

A familiar song.

......

('549 Arena' has arrived at the station. Please be careful when opening the door and take care when getting off.)

Li Changzhou suddenly opened his eyes. The world was distorted, and the cruelest side of nature was laid out before him: the desert.

"Hmm—" Li Qianxia woke up, her eyes stinging from the bright sunlight.

Yang Qinglan also woke up, looking out the car window at the endless, undulating sand dunes with a solemn expression.

"Bring your skirt too, it might come in handy," she said.

"Aren't you going to keep it a secret to conceal your identity?"

“Hiding your identity is also for survival. Take off your white dress!” Li Changzhou said, taking off his black T-shirt.

"What are you doing?" Li Qianxia didn't react.

Neither Li Changzhou's bizarre remarks nor his upper body were child's play to the two who had grown up together.

"Didn't you see my clothes are black? Black absorbs heat, hurry up and take them off for me."

"You're going to wear a dress?" Li Qianxia got excited, laughing as she took off her dress and kindly asked, "Do you know how to put it on? I'll help you."

Li Changzhou borrowed a dagger from Yang Qinglan and altered the white dress to fit him.

Her long skirt was rolled up and tied around her waist, along with her black T-shirt.

No resources should be wasted in the desert.

While he was fiddling with his skirt, Yang Qinglan also took off her own skirt, revealing her sweatpants and T-shirt underneath.

After tying the skirt around her waist, she gathered her hands behind her head and quickly coiled her long hair into a bun.

('549 Arena' has arrived at the station. Please be careful when opening the door and take care when getting off.)

"Let's go," Li Changzhou said in a deep voice.

The two nodded and followed behind him.

A driverless bus is parked at the foot of a sand dune, with a sandstone bus stop sign standing alone to the right of the exit door.

As soon as I got off the bus, a wave of heat hit me, even more persistent and enthusiastic than the brothel madam in an ancient brothel in a TV drama.

With a hiss of air pressure, the rear door slowly closed, and the bus chugged along across the desert.

The three of them stared intently, and then, amidst a distorted wave of heat, in the blink of an eye, the bus suddenly vanished, as if it had never been there at all.

"Let's see what the mission is." Yang Qinglan covered her smooth forehead with the back of her hand.

In just a short while, the air conditioning I brought from the car was used up, and my body temperature began to rise.

The three walked to the sandstone station sign to check out their mission.

Station Name: 549 Arena

[Terrain: Desert]

[Condition for the next train to arrive: Survival health below 15]

[Special Note: There is no time limit for the return bus from this arena. After the game ends, swipe your card at the stop to hail a bus.]

[A message from someone who performed exceptionally well in this competition]

[Comment 1: Teammates are the best and most convenient source of water and food (One Autumn Leaf)]

[Comment 2: Thanks for the reminder on the first floor. Just to add, teammates are still about value and money (isn't being a kept man better?)]

[Message 3: Please contact the official website:]

It's like mocking, provoking, or saying this is a lawless place, but "Value Games are not a lawless place" was cut off due to word limit.

"The situation is not optimistic." Li Changzhou turned to look at the two of them.

The situation is not optimistic not only in the game, but also in real society.

Just like the username 'One Autumn Leaf', you can tell from the comments that some people have lost all humanity.
