"Tell me about you two." Fang Dian couldn't help laughing, holding his face and mocking Lu Yizhang and Bai Liu who were squatting in a row in front of him, "Why can't you talk it out quietly? You have to fight, huh?"

"Two old men, one carrying a broom and the other swinging a mop, fighting each other in front of the whole school, don't you feel embarrassed? Do you still think you are kindergarten seniors?"

Bai Liu and Lu Yizhang, who had their heads lowered, both paused.

In the game dungeon, NPCs will wear a special filter when looking at the player's behavior. All the actions of the player will have a reasonable visual explanation in the eyes of the NPC.

For example, if a player suddenly kills another player, it may be seen as an ordinary fight in the eyes of the NPC. However, if a player is killed, the identity he obtained in the dungeon will be successfully removed, maintaining the normality of the game and allowing the NPCs in it to operate normally.

In the eyes of the copy NPCs, students like Liu Jiayi, Tang Erda, Bai Jiamu, and Bai Yi who have been cleared out of the copy are considered to be temporary transfers.

All players who enter the game know these rules, but...

Bai Liu lowered his head and glanced at the whip in his hand, then glanced at the heavy sword hidden behind Lu Yizhan, whose ears were red, and his eyes paused subtly.

When he thought about how his own whip was rationalized as a mop in the eyes of the NPCs, and Lu Yizhang's heavy sword was rationalized as a broom, then the scene in which he rushed to the stands with a whip was just like him swinging a mop to fight Lu Yizhang in the eyes of all the student NPCs.

Lu Yizhan pulled out a broom from behind and started a passionate confrontation with him on the stage, saying some very immature lines while doing so...

This is shameful.

Lu Yizhan calmly let go of the heavy sword, Bai Liu calmly put away the bone whip, and the two of them looked at Fang Dian as if nothing had happened.

With the right half of his face covered in blood, Lu Yizhan laughed heartily and grabbed Bai Liu's shoulders: "Haha, it's nothing serious. Bai Liu was just angry because he lost the game with me."

The skin around his collar was covered in scars, and blood was seeping down his shirt. Bai Liu nodded calmly, "It's just a normal confrontation between friends. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Don't worry."

Mu Sicheng, who was squatting nearby, yelled in his heart: Look at the fucking look on your face, who would believe this!

Would a normal confrontation between friends almost chop off the neck of a stranger like me!

"I'm glad you guys are reconciled." Fang nodded, clapped her hands and stood up. She smiled and said, "I'll go get the things I bought for you. In addition to the drinks, I also bought two popsicles."

There are actually people who believe this!!!

Mu Shicheng roared in despair!!

This must be because of the NPC's filter, right?

Fang Dian turned his head and saw Lu Yizhan, who was squatting on the ground, with a fierce look in his eyes. He raised his hand and held the heavy sword that he had just put down upright. He turned sideways and swept out his left leg to knock down Bai Liu, who had only three points of health. At the same time, he raised his arm and pressed the heavy sword against Bai Liu's throat, intending to cut off his head with one sword.

Bai Liu held the bone whip in one hand and used it to push the heavy sword's blade downwards. At the same time, he bent his knee to push against Lu Yizhan's left foot. He turned his wrist and extended the bone spur outwards. It was obvious that he wanted to use the force to his advantage and slid the bone whip along the heavy sword and pierce the large blood vessels in Lu Yizhan's neck.

The two men's movements and reactions were extremely fast, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding. They attacked silently at the moment Fang Dian stood up and turned his head. The heavy sword and bone whip collided at the same time, creating huge sparks.

Fang Dian walked towards the plastic bag she had just thrown away, then turned around and said, "It's a little melted. Do you still want to eat it?"

Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan put away their weapons instantly, and both of them maintained their previous posture, with their arms around each other's shoulders, looking at Fang Dian in a friendly manner.

Lu Yizhan even smiled at Fangdian and patted Bai Liu's shoulder vigorously: "Eat, of course I will eat it. I will eat whatever you buy!"

Mu Sicheng was almost dumbfounded watching at the side. He opened his mouth slightly as he looked at Bai Liu and Lu Yizhang, who appeared to be peaceful and friendly on the surface, but secretly had clashed several times and wanted to kill each other.

...Is this the hypocrisy and acting of a top-level tactician?

"I only bought two popsicles, but they were double packs, just right for the four of us." Fang Dian took out one and handed it to Lu Yizhan. "Since you and Bai Liu have reconciled now, you don't mind if you and Bai Liu share this one, right?"

"You have been friends for such a long time, don't get angry over winning or losing a game." Fang Dian looked into Lu Yizhan's eyes, curved his eyes, and smiled lightly, "Bai Liu grew up under your care, and you are older than him, so you are considered his brother."

"Is it okay to let him win once in a while just to make him happy?"

Lu Yizhan was stunned for a moment, and he slowly shifted his gaze to the popsicle that Fang Dian handed him.

This is a very cheap 50-cent popsicle wrapped in paper. Water is dripping from it as it melts. Inside are two popsicles stuck together. It tastes like cheap sugar water.

Lu Yizhan and Bai Liu were both very familiar with this smell; it was the smell that had accompanied them throughout their high school years.

——The taste of the cheapest popsicle in the canteen.

Fang Dian handed the popsicle to Lu Yizhan, who was squatting on the ground. Her eyes reflected Lu Yizhan's stunned expression, with an indescribable tenderness:

"You don't have to be so afraid of losing to Bai Liu."

"It's just a game between friends. If you lose to him, you won't lose anything."

"When did Bai Liu really win something from you?"

Lu Yizhan paused for a moment. He took the popsicle from Fang Dian's hand, tore open the outer paper wrapping, and saw two light white popsicles stuck together and dripping with water and melting.

The center line of this popsicle is frozen together and can be broken apart with a slight fold, but before being broken apart they are tightly connected, and they look exactly the same size, very much like two brothers, so some people call this kind of popsicle a "brother popsicle."

Lu Yizhan broke it open with a "click" sound, and handed the other one to Bai Liu. Bai Liu paused for a moment and took it.

Two people in school uniforms, covered in wounds and blood, with their clothes in tatters, squatted beside the messy playground. One of them held a popsicle in his left hand and the other held a popsicle in his right hand, biting it in pieces.

No one spoke, everyone was biting their popsicles in silence.

The early summer wind blew gently across their foreheads, blowing up their blood- and dust-stained foreheads. Lu Yizhan squinted his eyes, his lips were numb from the sugar syrup popsicle, and he looked at everything in front of him that was familiar yet unfamiliar in a trance.

Among so many worlds, only here, even though he was facing the evil god next to him day and night, and worried about this lonely and eccentric kid every day, he was still so relaxed and comfortable. Surrounded by only his ordinary girlfriend Fang Dian and ordinary good friend Bai Liu, he lived an ordinary life that never changed, and then died ordinary and happy.

It was as if all the burdens and the games that had torn him to pieces had never existed.

Lu Yizhan also tried to think about why this was clearly the last world line, but he felt so relieved, but he didn't understand until just now.

——Because Bai Liu really treated all this as an ordinary game with him.

Game, battle, one thing after another, Bai Liu had already accepted his plan, accepted that all this was a game between his friend with ulterior motives and him.

If Bai Liu loses, he won't say a word, and if Bai Liu wins, he won't really do anything to him.

He was despicable. He was the one who suspected first and took advantage of Bai Liu's respect for the rules of the game and his trust in him.

Lu Yizhan closed his eyes.

Fang Dian sat between them holding a popsicle. She bit the popsicle, holding Lu Yizhan in one hand and Bai Liu in the other, and asked incoherently, "I just gave one to the classmate next to me named Mu Sicheng. What are you guys talking about here?"

"Let's talk about games." Bai Liu bit the stick. He turned his head and looked at Fang Dian who was holding his shoulder. He suddenly brought up a topic, "Let's talk about whether there is a 100% way to win the game in this world?"

"There's no such way." Fang Dian waved his hand and retorted without thinking.

"But you win every time." Bai Liu pointed out calmly, "Lu Yizhan and I have never defeated you."

Fang Dian answered bluntly: "Because I cheated."

"I was the one who set up the game with you guys. I buried a lot of tricks in it that only I knew about. It was like I was playing with a cheat code. How could you beat me?"

Bai Liu and Lu Yizhan are both one meal.

"You actually cheated?!" Lu Yizhan looked at Fang Dian in shock, "We were just playing some small games, would you cheat?!"

"See." Fang Dian spread his hands, "I just take advantage of your mentality and cheat naturally, so you have never defeated me."

Bai Liu paused.

He thought many times about why Square always won against him, but he really never thought about this.

Just as Fang Dian said, he really didn't expect Fang Dian to be a cheater.

"Cheating is the easiest way to win a game. It's always easier to win a game by making up the rules of the game than by looking for solutions in the rules." Fang Dian held her face up, took a bite of the popsicle and chewed it into pieces, then said lazily while shaking it, "But you're all very smart. There's another very important reason why I can beat you."

"What do you think is the most powerful way to cheat in games in this world?" Fang Dian changed the subject.

Bai Liu asked directly: "What is it?"

Fang Dian rolled her eyes and smiled at Bai Liu: "You found someone who would not let you lose to play the game, and then you took advantage of their trust in you and naturally stepped on their emotional weakness towards you to win the game."

"That's why I can always beat you. Because you trust me, it's so easy for me to cheat and beat you."

Bai Liu was silent, and Lu Yizhan lowered his head without saying a word.

"But." Fang Dian turned her head, hugged her knees and looked at the blue sky, with a light-hearted look in her eyes. "In my opinion, winning or losing a game between friends does not harm the relationship."

"At most, we will give each other life and death."

"Oh, right." Fang Dian looked up as if he suddenly remembered something, "I almost forgot that I came here to bring a letter to the principal."

Her expression suddenly became serious: "You were punished with solitary confinement and cleaning the toilets for suspected public fighting."
