Chapter 18 The Taste of Gambling Rights
Tutoring wasn't a particularly challenging part-time job. It was similar to explaining homework to a classmate, and didn't require the same level of professional competence from the teacher. As Feng Qian had said, if they were of similar age, they might be able to better understand the student's thinking, not to mention Fu Liangxia's own excellent academic record.
Therefore, if Fu Haoyao cooperates in this tutoring session, it will not be difficult to improve his score by 30 or 50 points.
However, this is where the problem lies. Fu Haoyao is too cooperative.
The situation now was this: Fu Haoyao was busy playing games, while Fu Liangxia was teaching a blind man next to him. He didn't even glance over, and every now and then he would impatiently say to his teammates, "You're aiming with an M762, but you're not even tracing the human body? Get lost if you can't play."
Fu Liangxia: “…”
As if he sensed the puzzled gaze of the person next to him, he used his expression to indicate that she should do as she pleased and not bother him.
He even deliberately didn't wear headphones in order to listen to her lecture. The rumbling sound of airdrops and footsteps rang out, and due to the ultra-high-quality sound effect, it lingered in her ears like 3D stereo surround sound.
Fu Liangxia's headache got worse. She had promised Feng Qian that she would tutor him well and improve his grades.
Otherwise, why would the other party give resources to the Fu family?
We have to find a way.
"Mr. Fu." Fu Liangxia turned the book over and looked up at him.
"explain."
The controlled character on the screen fired three shots but only hit the window sill, without the opponent suffering a single drop of blood.
"That's not how you shoot a gun."
While Fu Haoyao wasn't reacting, she reached out and took over the keyboard. She grabbed the mouse with her right hand, adjusted the character's position, set up her gun, and fired rapidly.
"Bang!"
A shot to the head.
She just dodged the bullet fired by the other party.
"This is how you shoot a gun." Fu Liangxia turned back calmly and raised his eyebrows.
The light from the screen shone on her face, making her already beautiful face inexplicably more fierce.
Because she had to operate the keyboard, a snow-white wrist passed in front of him, and the cold fragrance of a girl came from all around. It was not very noticeable, but extremely strong, and it instantly raged in his nose.
Fu Haoyao was stunned for a moment until he heard a threatening voice from the team channel, "Damn! Brother Fu, you're a sharpshooter! You can even find such a tricky position!", and then he reacted from his uncontrollable heartbeat.
He turned his head away from her, his expression a little strange: "You are here to teach me math, not to teach me how to play games."
Fu Liangxia's voice came from the side, clear and cold, just like the smell on her body: "You know that too?"
You also know that she is here to teach math, not how to play games, so why are you still turning on the computer?
Fu Haoyao wasn't wearing headphones, so their conversation was naturally picked up by the game. His teammates seemed to have heard Fu Liangxia's voice and immediately said excitedly, "Brother Su, I think I heard a girl's voice?!"
How bizarre! When did Fu Haoyao change his temper and actually get a girlfriend?
No, I should say what kind of girl could catch Fu Haoyao's eye, be taken to his house, and even play games with him?
Wait, now that I think about it, no wonder that shooting skill just now was so amazing, it didn't seem like something Brother Fu could shoot...
Fang Tong was scratching his head curiously on the other side of the screen, but due to Fu Haoyao's tyranny, he didn't dare to ask.
"Shut up." Fu Haoyao said to the other side, and then quickly turned off the microphone and receiver.
After this series of actions, he finally turned around and stared at her: "You..."
"How about making a bet?" Fu Liangxia interrupted him. She looked straight into his eyes and unexpectedly found that Fu Haoyao's pupils were a little blue. Under the light of the screen, they were crystal clear like a gorgeous sapphire.
She remembered that Fu Haoyao seemed to have some foreign ancestry. His platinum hair might be natural. No wonder it didn't look dry and inferior like the hair dyed in a hair salon, but instead had a soft luster.
Fu Liangxia had previously thought that it was because he insisted on nutritional care.
Fu Haoyao: "What?"
"Even at playing games, without the right tricks, you'll always be just a novice." The corners of her mouth arched, making her look like a bewitching little fox. "I don't care why you hate tutors, or even me, but since your brother paid me to come, let's not waste each other's time. At least we should learn something."
Fu Haoyao wanted to say that he didn't hate her, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by Fu Liangxia's next words: "You don't want to learn math, okay, then let's learn how to play games."
"Let's play a game. If I win, you'll listen to my lecture obediently."
She said the word "good boy" very softly, as if she was holding the word on the tip of her tongue, revealing an indescribable tenderness.
Fu Haoyao suddenly felt a little numb inexplicably, and his heart felt strange. He had an urge like wanting to destroy something, but it was not that violent.
What's wrong with him today? He seems weird. Is he sick?
Fu Haoyao wanted to find a reason for his abnormal behavior, but he was so lost in thought that he didn't notice that he had maintained the same posture for a long time.
The other person stared at her expressionlessly, his face tense and his expression gloomy.
In the quiet atmosphere, the handsome face of the boy when he is silent is enough to be recorded in the movie screen, and can confuse most people in the world, thinking that he is a god who has strayed into the mortal world.
Fu Liangxia didn't know what he was thinking, nor was she completely sure about her proposal, but she knew that if Fu Haoyao rejected her proposal, she would have to think of another one.
——Fu Liangxia does not accept failure, nor can he accept the investment he has obtained flying away.
However, Fu Haoyao agreed, for some unknown reason.
"I will not lose." He said something like a pre-war declaration.
It seems to be arrogance.
Fu Liangxia: "Yeah, even before a gambler puts down his chips, he always thinks that this round will make him rich."
Fu Haoyao: "..."
Fu Haoyao helped Fu Liangxia turn on another computer and lent her his friend's account. The two of them formed a team and agreed to land at the training base that the gun flow liked to go to, and see who got more kills at the end of the game.
Neither of them considered the possibility of being eliminated by other players due to bad luck and being unable to find a gun. Fu Haoyao was confident that he had played enough time to avoid making the kind of rookie mistakes he would.
As for Fu Liangxia, Fu Haoyao was not optimistic. He could see that she was unfamiliar with the game and probably had only played it a few times. She might even have just learned it after watching him play today. She might not even know how to pick up equipment and would be eliminated as soon as she landed.
However, if this was really her first time playing today, then he had to admit her talent. She was able to shoot him in the head with one shot just now, and her learning ability was indeed very strong.
All these thoughts disappeared after entering the game, and Fu Haoyao also truly understood what Fu Liangxia meant when she said, "Without tricks, you will always be at the level of a 30-year-old cat."
He likes playing games, especially shooting games. He has played several similar games before and has made it to the server-wide rankings, although only at the bottom.
This survival game is a new one that has just been online for less than two months. He hasn't played it much recently because he has been busy with tennis training and preparing for the national team selection. It is the time when he has just mastered the gameplay and is most energetic.
Among the friends who bought the game with him, he was already the best and almost led his team to win first place.
But even so, when he saw Fu Liangxia's operation next to him with his peripheral vision, he couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.
"Click." She stared at the screen intently. The gaming headset on her head was a little big for her, making her face look small. There was a calm light flashing in her dark eyes.
Watch her control the character on the screen to pick up the gun and put bullets in it.
The movements were clumsy, but quick.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in his headphones; someone was coming.
Fu Haoyao paid some attention to his own screen. The moment half of the opponent's body appeared, he raised the shotgun and fired a burst of shots, eliminating the opponent.
On the other side, Fu Liangxia also met someone. Unlike Fu Haoyao's good luck, she ran into someone head-on just after picking up the gun.
Fu Haoyao almost broke out in a sweat for her.
However, the girl remained calm and drew her gun incredibly quickly. She didn't even need to take aim. Fu Haoyao only saw the camera on her screen shake.
"Bang!"
Still a clean and crisp headshot.
The way to eliminate people in this game is to knock down all of the opponent's health bars. Hitting the body will deduct some health, and hitting the head will eliminate people directly.
The simpler operation is to do as he did, fire a few more shots to deplete the opponent's blood, which is also the choice of most players.
Fu Liangxia's direct headshot operation was too difficult and too confident.
Just like the situation just now, if the opponent's hand speed was a little faster and he fired a few shots at her body, there was a high possibility that he would eliminate her first.
This is assuming she can hit the head.
Aiming at the head is very difficult. Unlike the larger body, the character's head in the game is only small. Even at a distance, it is only the size of an ink dot. Most players cannot aim at it at all.
It's impossible to be as fast as her, who almost doesn't need to aim at the right time.
But Fu Haoyao knew that this was impossible. No one could hit someone without aiming, unless they were cheating.
But she was connected to his network and using his computer, so Fu Haoyao knew best whether she was cheating or not.
Fu Liangxia has a very strong dynamic vision, and maybe he really has some tricks.
Fu Haoyao made a judgment in his heart, his face became serious, and he dared not underestimate the enemy anymore.
Fu Haoyao gradually shifted his attention back to the screen. When working as a team, the two of them could hear each other's voices. Although they were not too loud, Fu Liangxia's shooting movements were too crisp, with only a short sound each time, which was very recognizable.
He looked at the increasing kill count behind Fu Liangxia's character name on the screen, his breathing became heavier, and he began to search for the target nervously.
There are naturally a lot of people in a place that can be called the holy land of gun fighting. In addition, Fu Haoyao's gun skills are also acceptable, and the number of kills caught up in a short while.
But he is not like Fu Liangxia who can kill a person with one bullet. It usually takes him three to five shots to eliminate a person.
So Fu Haoyao's bullets were used up very quickly. After looting the loot and searching around, he found that everyone was extremely poor. So he was forced to leave the house, jump off the building, and prepare to search the building next door.
Fu Haoyao, who was concentrating on finding bullets, did not notice that Fu Liangxia next to him glanced at the time on the screen, then glanced at his screen, and was controlling the character to run towards him.
The sound of "thump thump" footsteps was heard, and Fu Haoyao's heart, which had been lifted for a moment, calmed down again after he saw the other party display the teammate's sign.
A burly man wearing level three armor stopped in front of Fu Haoyao, his dull eyes seeming to stare directly at him through the screen.
"What?" He was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Fu Liangxia suddenly came over.
"Hmm?" A pleasant female voice came through the thick earphone casing, overlapping with the in-game audio, making it a little distorted. "Of course, it's to end the game."
There was a slight hint of laughter in his voice.
Fu Haoyao vaguely realized that something was wrong. When he was about to control the character to retreat, the other party quickly raised the gun and pulled the trigger quickly and neatly, just like he had done to others before.
"Bang!"
Fu Haoyao's deep blue pupils widened slightly.
Green blood instantly exploded in the middle of the screen. The next second, the screen went black, reflecting his slightly stunned face.
"Plop" "Plop"
Fu Haoyao heard his heart beating fast.
"I won."
Fu Liangxia took off her headphones, tilted her head to look at him, and smiled ostentatiously.
Very beautiful, full of spirit, and inexplicably so that it is impossible to look away.
It was different from any expression she had had before.
Fu Haoyao vaguely felt that she had been wearing a vague mask, making it impossible for people to see her true thoughts hidden underneath.
Until now, she took off the mask and revealed her true expression——
A genuine smile that has nothing to do with love between men and women.
Very wanton.
Fu Haoyao seemed to see another proud soul, even more arrogant and domineering than him, but with the capital.
He suddenly felt a little afraid to look directly at her face.
Meet her gaze.
“Pah pah pah——”
There was applause at the door, slow and each beat hit the heartbeats of the two men.
“It’s wonderful.”
Fu Liangxia turned around and saw a tall young man standing at the door, with his eyebrows slightly raised, and he didn't know how long he had been looking.
He had a face as beautiful as Fu Haoyao's, but he seemed to have been in a high position for a long time, and he had a calm temperament that Fu Liangxia had never seen in Saint Landry.
His gaze was cold and indifferent, not like Fu Haoyao's indifference, but more like a kind of nonchalant ease.
The feeling that everything is under his control.
Fu Liangxia stared at him and suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth. Her heartbeat became faster and faster, her legs became weak, and every cell in her body was excitedly clamoring for desire.
——The taste of power.
She dreamed of becoming... someone in power.
If you have the right to control money, how can you not be in power in a sense?
No one in St. Landry has this temperament because they are not the real controllers behind the chaebol.
And the Fu Langshu standing in front of her was the first person Fu Liangxia had ever seen in her life.
Of course, Fu's father doesn't count, he didn't even make it into the ranks of new money.
But Fu Liangxia wants to be the one in power.
She never thought that she couldn't become one.
Perhaps her strong thoughts awakened the system, and its voice sounded in her mind:
[Detected attackable target: Fu Langshu
Current favorability: 8
Strategy description: As the older brother of one of the protagonists, Fu Langshu naturally plays an irreplaceable role in the plot. He does not appear many times, but has a strong presence. Befriending him can enhance the host's presence in the world line and reduce the possibility of being excluded by the world's will.
Strategy type: Optional.
Note: At the same time, the host's ambitions have been detected. After analysis, the system believes that capturing this target is a shortcut to achieving the host's ambitions.
Fu Liangxia was a little surprised when she heard the system's words. She didn't expect that in addition to the main characters in the original book, there were other characters that could be the targets of the strategy.
However, the main plot character is required, and he is optional.
So, what are the criteria for the system to select characters? If we go by the degree of relevance to the plot, there are many characters who have more scenes than Fu Langshu, such as the heroine's childhood friend Li Yuanfan, but none of them have become a target for capture.
Fu Liangxia originally thought that this was just her doubt and would not be answered by the system, but the system gave an explanation.
[The selection of captureable targets is mainly based on character energy. The greater a character's influence on the world, the more energy they have, and the more likely they are to be identified as a captureable target by the system.]
Fu Liangxia understood. In other words, the more outstanding one is, the more likely one is to become a target.
If that was the case, she suddenly had a bold idea: She was currently being rejected by the world's will because she didn't belong to this world and had too little energy. But what if she became stronger? What if she had enough influence?
So can she survive without relying on these strategy targets?
Unfortunately, this time her question did not receive a response from the system.
While Fu Liangxia was lost in thought, on the other side——
"Brother," Fu Haoyao called out reluctantly, "Why are you back so early today?"
