Chapter 47 Passing the Bomb
Liang Shumo gives the impression of having a good personality when he's with Lin Chaoyang, but in reality, he's not so good-tempered when he's with Shang Yunting.
It's a very strange friendship, but these two people are indeed very good friends. Perhaps it's because they're so close that they end up hurting each other.
One person is constantly playing a game of chance with the other, while the other kicks the other into a monster horde during an adventure.
Their success rate in exploring together wasn't very high, since sabotaging each other was a common occurrence.
"It's a bit late today. We can play large-scale role-playing games later. Those are quite fun."
"Let me show you a little game where you each play your own game. Don't always go on adventures; you can relax by playing some games."
Shang Yunting was talking to Lin Chaoyang and Ruan Hexuan. Although he was smiling, he seemed to have ill intentions.
Liang Shumo knew what the other party was up to, but it didn't matter. The other party was too slow to catch him. He would protect the newbie, but he couldn't do anything about the other person.
Shang Yunting opened another room with 20 people and chose the bomb-passing mode.
A bomb is randomly thrown at one player for one minute. After five rounds, the player who survives the most rounds wins, and the rest are ranked accordingly.
Everyone is in a circular area, and there are some simple obstacles in the venue to shield people.
The most complex edge is a second floor where players can hide, either by taking the stairs or using items to jump up.
"Ahem, newbie, let me show you some human-shaped fireworks. The firework bombs I set up are really cool."
Shang Yunting put his arm around Lin Chaoyang's shoulder in the waiting area and whispered to him.
"Let go, let go, he can only see the fireworks if they explode on you, don't ruin the newbie's life."
Liang Shumo slapped Shang Yunting's hand away. He hadn't harmed him enough, why did he have to harm everyone else he met?
"If you want to play, add more rewards, otherwise how will this kind of game attract people?"
Liang Shumo pushed Shang Yunting a little further away and pulled Lin Chaoyang to sit down on a chair in the waiting area.
"Here, have some cherry tomatoes. Don't worry about him. This kind of game is just for fun, it's not that interesting."
Lin Chaoyang nodded obediently, grabbed two cherry tomatoes and ate them. He thought they were all quite interesting and lively, and none of them were things he had never done before.
Even if Liang Shumo just pinched two fingers and suddenly a plate of cherry tomatoes appeared in his hand, it would still be quite interesting.
Lin Chaoyang used to only occasionally watch Su Xiaonan play some simple games, but now that he's fast-forwarded to a holographic game, everything is new and exciting to him.
Most of the time he's secretly amazed, he's surprised by everything, but he doesn't dare show it, it's too alien-like, even though he really is.
"Alright, alright, we're full, let's start."
"Your brother Mo also loves playing this game, it's so much fun."
Shang Yunting's voice came from afar. Lin Chaoyang came back to his senses, but he didn't believe a word of what he said.
"Brother Mo, do you like playing this?"
Lin Chaoyang turned his head and asked Liang Shumo very seriously. Although he felt that Shang Yunting was playing a trick on him, he was still curious about what Shang Yunting really thought.
Liang Shumo thought for a second: "He can't outrun me, so it's quite interesting."
The two exchanged a few words in place, and after a while, they were teleported into the game map.
The game begins, and a 'lucky' player is randomly selected to receive the first bomb.
Looking at the bomb hovering above Liang Shumo's head, which had begun its countdown, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but exclaim, "6!"
Liang Shumo smiled gently. Otherwise, why would Shang Yunting say that he "likes" playing games? Games may torment him a thousand times, but he still loves them like his first love.
"Wait for me where you are, I'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, Liang Shumo ran out. In a moment, he would really become a human-shaped firework. If he was going to explode, it would be on Shang Yunting.
With a few strides, they had already darted far away. After all, a holographic game is a holographic game based on real people. Although there are places to hide, there are only a few places.
After searching several nooks and crannies, they found Shang Yunting, who was pretending to be dead, behind an obstacle.
"Don't hide in those corners next time, the newbies won't even see you when you explode."
When Liang Shumo passed the bomb over, he even made a sarcastic remark.
"If you can run so fast, why don't you participate in a running race?!"
"You went to all that trouble to find me, so I'm your true love, right?"
Shang Yunting couldn't catch up with Liang Shumo at all, so he could only make some empty threats. When he spoke, he was a few steps slower, and the distance between them kept increasing until he exploded in the middle of the road.
Three seconds before the fireworks bomb above his head exploded, the surrounding environment suddenly went dark, as if it were night.
The bomb exploded, and small fireworks burst from Shang Yunting's body, standing out conspicuously in the darkness.
The bomb-shaped fireworks lasted for 15 seconds, and people from all directions focused their attention on Shang Yunting.
Lin Chaoyang, who was told to stay put, also saw it: "Brother Yun has turned into a beautiful firework."
Those passersby who were just dragged in to make up the numbers applauded. They got to watch a show, see fireworks, and even get a reward. They'd be the passerby again next time.
"You don't need to go through all that trouble chasing me, just give me the bomb."
At the start of the second round, Shang Yunting went straight to Liang Shumo's side to catch the bomb. Since he couldn't mess with Liang Shumo, he decided to mess with his new friend instead.
Ruan Hexuan did not participate in Shang Yunting and his friends' playful antics, but instead leaned against a corner of the scene.
He thought he was just another passerby, but then Shang Yunting ran towards him with a bomb on his head.
"He Xuan~"
"Look how much I love you~ Among so many people, you're the only one in my eyes~"
As Shang Yunting spoke, he laughed at himself, realizing he was trying to harm someone while making it sound so convincing.
He closed the distance between himself and Ruan Hexuan step by step, while the countdown timer on the bomb above his head gradually decreased.
Ruan Hexuan shuddered. The other person's high-pitched voice gave him goosebumps, so he quickly stood up straight and ran away.
However, the reaction was too late, and the run failed.
Shang Yunting sprinted forward, grabbed Ruan Hexuan, passed the bomb to him, and then ran away.
"Hey newbie, look at the fireworks! They finally didn't explode on me!"
Shang Yunting's steps became lighter; finally, there was someone he could bully.
He designed the fireworks to be unique, with each bomb explosion resulting in a new type of firework.
Lin Chaoyang, who had just used the elastic mat to go up to the second floor, looked in the direction of the sound.
Ruan Hexuan didn't struggle at all, just stood there and let the dazzling fireworks explode on his body, the firelight reflecting the helplessness on his face.
Lin Chaoyang thought the fireworks were beautiful and everyone was very nice.
In her excitement, she leaned to the side and was caught by Liang Shumo.
He wasn't familiar with these game facilities, and after jumping around for a while, he either fell back to the ground or went astray, which is why Liang Shumo was always there to catch him.
