"It is still unknown why Russell Cemetery gave up the mid-season qualification, but in any case this team is our number one enemy in the preseason."

Wang Shun clicked on the panel, and a bloody lamb head popped up on the PPT:

"In addition to Russell Cemetery, another team that needs our attention is the Furious Lambs, which was the last place in the mid-season last year."

"This team was the first in the pre-season two years ago. In the challenge match, they faced the Deer Hunters, and their tactician was still the God of War. As expected, the Furious Lambs lost the challenge match, but they still successfully entered the mid-season match last year."

Wang Shun raised his head and said, "The reason why I specifically mentioned this match is because in this match, the inquisitor of the gods, a famously moderate tactician, killed someone for the first time in the game. He killed the opponent's tactician."

"However, since this tactician was a popular player that year and had a golden medal of immunity from death, he is still the tactician of the Furious Lambs and continues to be active on the field."

"During the Furious Lamb Challenge, all the Deer Hunters players were injured, including Nishen. Later I checked and found that these injuries were not in the game, but were brought in from real life."

"Then I checked out the Lambs' pre-season games and noticed something very strange."

"I found that as long as the opponent of the Furious Lambs is a very strong or reputable team, the players of this team will get into trouble in real life and participate in the competition with injuries."

"There were even several times when the core members of the Furious Lambs' opponents died on the eve of the competition."

Wang Shun said very seriously: "So I made a guess, this Frenzy Lamb has an information collector with similar skills to mine, who can somehow get the player's exact address information in reality, and then attack the opponent in reality."

Mu Sicheng couldn't help but sighed: "How shameless, if you can't beat him, just fight in real life."

"It's really despicable, but in real life you are not as powerful as in the game, you are just ordinary people." Wang Shun emphasized, "You are already a very outstanding pre-season team, you must pay attention to protecting your own safety in real life."

"Especially Bai Liu."

Wang Shun looked at Bai Liu: "Mu Sicheng is a registered college student, Liu Jiayi just experienced a major incident and is under multiple surveillance, Captain Tang has strong self-protection capabilities, Mu Ke's family is a wealthy family, and only you."

"You are now a marginalized person."

Everyone's eyes turned to Bai Liu.

"I'm talking about Bai Liu." Mu Sicheng came over and held Bai Liu's shoulders. "Do you want to live in my dormitory?"

Tang Er frowned: "The security function of the university dormitory is not good enough, Bai Liu, your small rental house is not safe. I have a house near the base, why don't you move in with me..."

"It's not possible to live near the base. If something happens to your base, it will be his fault." Liu Jiayi rejected Tang Erda's proposal. She looked at Bai Liu and said, "I think you can talk to Mu Ke and live with him. It will be convenient for money and transportation."

Bai Liuruo thought: "It is indeed inconvenient to live alone."

Several people came over at the same time and looked at Bai Liu intently: "Who are you living with?"

Bai Liu smiled: "My current idea is to bring Du Sanying over to live with us."

There was silence for a while, and then Mu Sicheng was the first to ask, "Huh?"

After the meeting, Bai Liu logged out of the game from his rental house.

He took off his blood-stained white shirt and threw it into the laundry basket, unbuckled his belt, took off his trousers and threw them into the laundry basket as well.

Bai Liu walked into the bathroom naked, turned on the shower, untied her hair tie, closed her eyes, tilted her head back to let the warm water wash over her face, then reached for the shampoo next to the mirror.

The mirror was filled with water vapor, dimly reflecting Bai Liu's upper body. Bai Liu paused as he looked at his own hazy reflection in the mirror.

Compared to when he first entered the game, his body had undergone some visible changes.

Bai Liu never orders takeout, milk tea or the like after work because it is too expensive.

He seldom participated in team-building activities, dinners, or social events. At most, he would take his coupons to Helu Station to eat at a restaurant every month. He usually had the cheapest meal in the unit, which cost eight yuan for one meat and one vegetable set meal, and the meat dish also included scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

From childhood to adolescence and then to adulthood, Bai Liu has never experienced a stage of food abundance. Due to insufficient intake, he always seems to be the most backward in development among the crowd.

When he was a child, Bai Liu was the shortest among his peers. When he reached puberty, he was the thinnest among his classmates. After he became an adult, he almost had trouble finding a job because of his height.

This year, Bai Liu is 24 years old. He looks at himself in the mirror and feels like...

A little taller.

Tang Er had been beating Bai Liu hard for more than a month, and the changes that had been brought to Bai Liu's body were more than that.

Bai Liu's skin, which was originally pale from not seeing the sun for years in the office, now has a bit of redness. His shoulders, neck, waist and back are stretched backwards, and his originally skinny limbs and abdomen now have muscular lines.

Especially the shoulders, back and abdomen, a thin layer of muscle wrapped around Bai Liu's body, making these parts look a lot stronger.

Although he still doesn't have the neat six-pack abs like Tang Erda, there are shallow depressions on both sides of Bai Liu's rectus abdominis. It feels like if he exercises more, he will soon see shaped abs.

Mr. Bai Liu, who is nearly 25 years old, strangely feels that he looks like he has grown again.

When Bai Liu was drying his body after taking a shower, he suddenly paused.

He felt the whip marks left by Spade on his back.

But there was only a brief pause, and Bai Liu put on his clothes as if he had not touched anything, still wearing a white shirt and dress pants - these were the only two types of clothes in his closet.

Bai Liu was going to the sanatorium to pick up Du Sanying later. In order to look more formal, Bai Liu rarely tied a tie for himself.

After going to the nursing home to go through a bunch of procedures and having Du Sanying sign everything, Bai Liu successfully took Du Sanying out under the questioning and horrified eyes of the person in charge.

"I'm sorry, please pick me up." Du Sanying scratched his head in embarrassment, "Because I was diagnosed as having no personal mobility, it's very troublesome to pick me up from the nursing home. Did Bai Liu find someone to help?"

Bai Liu hummed and took the suitcase from Du Sanying: "Captain Tang helped me find someone."

Actually, it was Su Yang who helped.

Su Yang felt that Du Sanying would cause harm to people around him, and keeping the child in the nursing home would not be good for either Du Sanying or the nursing home.

Originally, Su Yang was planning to apply to send Du Sanying to a training camp near the base, but after Bai Liu took the initiative to take care of Du Sanying, Su Yang was surprised but quickly helped to get the matter done.

Du Sanying followed Bai Liu with his head down, secretly glancing at the suitcase in Bai Liu's hand from time to time.

Bai Liu walked in front and said without turning his head: "If you have any questions, just ask directly."

Du Sanying hesitated for a while before asking in a low voice, "...Is it true that if I live with you, it won't affect you?"

"I'd better live alone in isolation..." Du Sanying's voice became very weak.

Bai Liu continued to push the suitcase forward, saying calmly: "Do you want to live alone?"

Du Sanying lowered his head and looked at the corner of his clothes: "I have lived alone since junior high school. The people who lived with me...whether they were friends, parents, or my sister, something happened to them later."

"Yes." Bai Liu said calmly, "I have read your information and I know all these things."

"So you want to live alone?"

Du Sanying shrank his head and said in a low voice, "I don't want to."

Bai Liu dragged the suitcase and turned around to glance at Du Sanying: "You won't hurt me if you live with me. You can help me. You don't want to live alone. I can solve all the problems you are worried about. So do you have any other questions?"

Du Sanying straightened his chest with red eyes, and his voice suddenly became louder: "No, no more!"

"Thank you Mr. Bai Liu for arranging for me to live with you!"

"Oh no!" Du Sanying suddenly slapped his head and asked nervously, "I have another question, Mr. Bai Liu, can you keep a parrot at home?"

Bai Liu thought for a moment and said, "It should be possible. The landlord didn't say no."

Du Sanying's eyes widened: "Mr. Bai Liu, do you live in a rental house?"

Bai Liu hummed: "Don't you like the rental house?"

Du Sanying waved his hands hastily: "No, no! I also rented a house when I was in junior high school, but I felt that people like Mr. Bai Liu..."

Du Sanying racked his brains to describe his feelings when he heard that Bai Liu lived in a rental house: "Living in a rental house is weird."

Bai Liu glanced at Du Sanying and asked, "What's so strange about that?"

"It's not strange..." Du Sanying asked in a different way, "Why does Mr. Bai Liu want to live in a rental house?"

Bai Liu answered naturally: "Because I can't afford to buy a house, so I rent one."

Du Sanying was shocked: "Isn't Mr. Bai Liu very rich?"

"I'm a layoff, I don't have much money." Bai Liu squinted at Du Sanying, "Although I saved some money in the game later, I would feel unhappy if I used it to buy a house."

Du Sanying asked curiously, "Why?"

“Because I don’t like spending money on highly overpriced items,” Bai Liu said.

Du Sanying said "oh" as if he understood something, then looked at the suitcase in Bai Liu's hand and said, "Mr. Bai Liu, let me take it myself."

"Mr. Bai Liu will take a taxi home later." Du Sanying asked cautiously, "I don't like taking the taxi. Can I walk back by myself?"

Bai Liu asked calmly, "Is it because you've been in a lot of traffic accidents?"

Du Sanying nodded, his expression downcast again: "...I'm prone to accidents when I'm in a car, and the drivers who encounter me are so unlucky, so I usually walk."

"I don't like taking taxis either. Let me walk back with you." Bai Liu said.

Du Sanying's eyes lit up at first, and then they couldn't help but turn into wavy rosy-egg eyes, and he looked at Bai Liu with tears in his eyes: "Wuwu, Mr. Bai Liu, you are fine."

Bai Liu glanced at Du Sanying and said, "I really don't like taking taxis because they are too expensive."

Du Sanying: “…”

Bai Liu said that she would walk with Du Sanying instead of taking a taxi, so she really walked with him all the way. On the way back, Du Sanying consciously took the small paths where there were few people, and became extremely nervous when he had the slightest contact with other people.

Because of this, Bai Liu and his friends walked along older streets with very old stalls on the side of the streets.

For example, Du Sanying saw a height and weight measuring instrument with an old man sitting next to it. There was a sign at his feet that read "One dollar for three measurements."

"It's really cheap." Du Sanying said to Bai Liu, "I've seen it before for only one dollar a time."

So Bai Liu suddenly stopped in front of the stall.

Du Sanying reacted for a while and said in surprise: "Bai, Mr. Bai Liu, do you want to take the test?!"

Bai Liu hummed, took out a piece of money from his pocket, bent down and handed it to the old man next to the scale, then stood on it without hesitation.

The measuring rod of the measuring instrument slowly descended, touched the top of Bai Liu's head, and then slowly moved up.

The big speaker on the measuring instrument emitted a flashing red light and announced loudly: "——Height 176.5 cm, weight 58 kg, normal to thin!"

Bai Liu stood on the scale for a while, until the loud speaker finished broadcasting three times, then he slowly walked down.

There were three measurements. Seeing Bai Liu coming down, Du Sanying subconsciously thought that he should go up and take the test himself.

But that was not the case. After Bai Liu walked down, he slowly walked up again and took the test again.

Du Sanying: “????”

After the three measurements were completed, Du Sanying followed Bai Liu, who he felt had inexplicably become more brisk, in confusion and asked, "Mr. Bai Liu, why did you have to measure three times?"

Bai Liu said calmly, "Confirm the established fact that my product has increased in value."
