After Bai Liu finished speaking, he turned around and continued to tie his tie with his head down, but Mu Sicheng was stunned.
While the two were talking, Mu Ke, who was lying on the bed, cried out, and woke up from the bed with sweat all over his body and twitching hands and feet. After he sat up, his whole body trembled violently uncontrollably. He subconsciously hugged Bai Liu's white shirt in his arms, gasped with empty eyes, and continued to shed dazed tears, as if he had not yet awakened from the aftermath of the nightmare.
Bai Liu called his name softly: "Mu Ke, you are alive, calm down."
Mu Ke's eyes slowly regained focus. He stared blankly at Bai Liu in front of him, tears welling up in his red eyes. He let go of the white shirt he was holding tightly in his hands. Bai Liu noticed that this person wanted to pounce on him, so he stepped back a little and patted Mu Ke's shoulder soothingly: "It's okay, you're back to reality."
"Bai Liu, wuwuwu, Bai Liu!!" Mu Ke cried like a water pipe that was torn apart by excessive fear. Only the sight of Bai Liu could calm him down a little. His hands tightly grasped the corner of the hem of Bai Liu's suit. He looked up at Bai Liu in despair, tears streaming down his face.
Mu Ke's voice was hoarse from shouting: "I thought I was going to die in that school! They were going to strangle me!"
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and said softly, "But you didn't, so you did well, and you survived. Everything is over, Mu Ke."
Mu Ke cried non-stop, his chest heaving violently, and he even hiccupped in the middle of his tears. He raised his wet eyelashes and looked at Bai Liu, asking very softly and carefully: "I did what you said and passed the level by myself, so I passed, right? You will let me survive as much as possible in the game, right?"
"I will do my best to train you, so that you can grow up strong and survive on your own." Bai Liu answered very straightforwardly, but he changed the subject and his tone became much crueler, "But if you only think of relying on my means and become less and less valuable, I also promise that I will quickly give up all my investment in you. Do you understand, Mu Ke? I don't like wasting energy on things that have no reward."
Mu Ke nodded crazily with tears in his eyes. He choked up, his beautiful eyes filled with tears, like a child who finally got recognition: "I will, I promise I will, Bai Liu!"
"I want to arrange for you to follow me starting from the next game." Bai Liu stood up and handed a piece of toilet paper to Mu Ke, who was still crying, and squinted at him, "If you are willing to follow me, we will have to clear fifty dungeons in sixty days. I want to take you to participate in the league, but at the same time I need you to grow up quickly."
Mu Ke took the toilet paper Bai Liu handed to him and looked up in surprise.
Bai Liu looked down at him calmly: "Can you do it? If you can't, I will arrange other paths for your development. You don't have to follow me."
Before Bai Liu finished speaking, Mu Ke bit his lower lip. He tightly grasped the toilet paper Bai Liu handed him, lowered his head, and his voice and thin shoulders trembled a little: "You need me to do this, right? Then I, I can do it."
"Have you really thought it through, Mu Ke?" Bai Liu said calmly, "Mu Ke, I am used to having people look me straight in the face when discussing things with me. Raise your head."
Mu Ke raised his head slowly and tremblingly. Bai Liu saw clearly the expression on Mu Ke's face as he lowered his head to hide.
The young master who had a heart disease had red eyes as he knelt on Bai Liu's bed, his hands clenched into fists and rested on his knees, his body shaking uncontrollably. He looked up at Bai Liu obediently and pitifully. Mu Ke was obviously very scared of what Bai Liu said about clearing fifty dungeons alone in sixty days. The uncontrollable fear made his face full of tears, and he was still holding back his sobs.
From the perspective of ordinary people, this little boy crying miserably must be good-looking and pitiful, and anyone who sees him will be softened. However, Bai Liu still asked calmly: "Mu Ke, you have other choices. There are many players in this game who rely on their looks to get to the top and gain audience recharge points. You can also take this path. It will be very hard to follow me, so Mu Ke, think it over before answering me."
"You can either play with me in the league or become a good looking player with my help. You can survive in both ways. Which one do you choose?"
Bai Liu opened his eyelids and looked at the stunned Mu Ke: "You will grow quickly if you follow me. From the perspective of personal needs and your ability development, my suggestion to you is that you can try to follow me first, and follow me to cultivate your own panel attributes. It would be best if you can follow me into the league. If you can't follow me and you grow quickly, you can help me from other places. I can also find other players in the league. You are just a backup option for me. Simply put, I am using you to make up the numbers."
"So what's your choice?" Bai Liu stretched out his hand to Mu Ke. He looked at Mu Ke quietly, waiting for Mu Ke's answer.
Mu Ke knew about the league competition. He saw the fireworks and system notifications when he left the game, but he came out quickly because he was too scared after just completing the game.
Any new player would want to escape from the game as soon as possible after completing it. Only Bai Liu, who has a problem with his brain circuit, can leisurely wander around and collect information. Mu Ke's psychological quality obviously cannot allow him to maintain a relatively peaceful state of mind after nearly completing the game.
After completing the game, Mu Ke felt like he was on the verge of death, without even a piece of driftwood. It reminded him of the suffocating feeling of drowning in "Siren Town", and there was no Bai Liu around him who reached out to him.
Mu Ke was too scared of the environment without Bai Liu. The time Bai Liu rescued him from the bottom of the sea had a strong psychological hint and influence on Mu Ke. In Mu Ke's heart, Bai Liu was only above the people in this game. Bai Liu could even cross the system's barriers to rescue him, which gave Mu Ke an unparalleled sense of security. So when Mu Ke encountered the scene that almost killed him again, the mentally collapsed Mu Ke logged out of Bai Liu's house in a trance due to his subconscious need for a safe environment.
Mu Ke was afraid of the league. He knew that this game scene must be a million times more dangerous than the single-player game he had just completed. A newcomer like him would be in great danger of death if he entered it.
Mu Ke blinked his red eyes, his heartbeat was so fast that he lowered his long eyelashes stained with tears. He looked at Bai Liu's hand stretched out to him, and his breathing gradually became faster. Mu Ke knew in his heart that Bai Liu was a very cold person. This person would not save him every time. The first time he saved him was also for the added value of him - the mermaid amulet, but this thing had already been used by Bai Liu.
Bai Liu is not a good person, but he is a very trustworthy person.
Mu Ke looked up at Bai Liu, his eyes were like the alert and tentative look of a small animal encountering a threat: "If I follow you, will you guarantee that you will try your best to let me survive in the game?"
Bai Liu patiently whispered, "I promise."
All of Mu Ke's sense of security with Bai Liu comes from this - as long as this man made a promise, he never broke it, no matter how desperate the situation was.
Bai Liu promised that he would not give up on him easily and would try his best to keep him alive, even if playing in the league sounded scary.
"Then, I want to play the league with you." Mu Ke gently put his hand into Bai Liu's hand. He answered in a nasal voice with a little complaint and grievance, "I don't want to play the game alone anymore."
Bai Liu gently squeezed Mu Ke's hand and then let go, which meant that they had reached a cooperation. He softened his tone and said, "Okay, I understand."
But soon Bai Liu put away his fake and gentle business face that he used to deceive others into cooperating with him, and he quickly got into the business mode with Mu Ke.
"When will Mu Ke be ready? After all, the next time we go in, we may not come out for a long time." Bai Liu asked Mu Ke, "You look like you need a good rest. You will probably disappear for about two months. You should also tell the people around you."
"But we don't have much time." Bai Liu looked at Mu Ke, "I can give you at most one day to prepare. Is that okay with you?"
Mu Ke's lips trembled a little. He was not used to entering such a high-intensity mode right away, but under Bai Liu's calm gaze, Mu Ke quickly responded: "...Okay."
"Go home now, Mu Ke." Bai Liu picked up the phone and called his boss. He looked at Mu Ke while talking on the phone. "I will notify my boss to pick you up now. You have my address and phone number. Call me tomorrow when you are ready. You can come directly, or you can ask me to pick you up at that time? Which combination is better?"
"Can I come to see you?" Mu Ke asked Bai Liu carefully.
"Sure." Bai Liu said indifferently.
Bai Liu called his boss, who came over shortly afterwards. This was his second time coming to Bai Liu's small rental house to pick up the young master Mu Ke. The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Although the boss's eyes were still strange this time, he still greeted Bai Liu respectfully. However, after entering the room and seeing Mu Ke sitting on the bed with red eyes, who had obviously just cried, the boss couldn't help but twist his face.
There were scars on the poor little boy's hands and feet, as if he had been tied up by something (scars left in the game).
But this was not what astonished the boss the most. What shocked him the most was that there was a tired-looking, handsome male college student sleeping on Bai Liu's desk (he fell asleep while waiting for Bai Liu and Mu Ke to negotiate, and Mu Sicheng was wearing clothes with their university logo), and Mu Sicheng was wearing a Bai Liu coat on his shoulders. The male college student was sleeping soundly, as if he had not slept all night, and there were dark circles under his eyes.
The boss looked at Bai Liu with a distorted expression. Bai Liu looked calm but had dark circles under his eyes. How many men did you play with in one night, you beast?
When Bai Liu turned around, he was met with his boss's expression as if he was overloaded with information, but since Bai Liu never tried to guess what his boss was thinking, he just pretended he didn't see it and led Mu Ke past.
Mu Ke followed his boss absent-mindedly, looking back every few steps. The boss thought of the extremely shocking scene he had just seen, and he tried to hold back his curiosity to gossip.
After walking out of Bai Liu's small rental house, the boss coughed twice and asked casually, "Mu Ke, the person in Bai Liu's room just now looked like a college student. What's your relationship with him?"
"Oh, that person." Mu Ke felt complicated and sour when talking about Mu Sicheng.
Mu Ke knew Mu Sicheng, the rising star ranked fourth on the rising star points list. Mu Sicheng was stronger than him and obviously more useful. Moreover, Mu Sicheng obviously meant something different to Bai Liu and had a better relationship with Bai Liu, which could be seen from Bai Liu's attitude towards Mu Sicheng.
After Mu Sicheng fell asleep, Bai Liu actually put a coat on him and lowered his voice when talking to Mu Ke, as if he was afraid of disturbing each other's sleep. Mu Ke looked at Mu Sicheng twice more, and Bai Liu explained that Mu Sicheng's physical strength was seriously depleted in the game, so he asked him to have a good rest.
...is the treatment he didn't get from Bai Liu.
Mu Ke, the young master, receives special treatment from everyone. He also noticed Bai Liu's lukewarm and initially annoyed attitude towards him. However, Bai Liu's attitude towards the great player Mu Sicheng was completely different from his attitude towards him, which made Mu Ke feel a little bit jealous.
He snorted, a little indignantly: "Him? He is just Bai Liu's gaming partner like me. One day, I will surpass his position next to Bai Liu! I will make Bai Liu like playing games with me even more! I will play games with Bai Liu every day starting tomorrow! How can he be better than me!"
"..." The boss had a blank expression and was shocked.
Is the competition between you Ms so fierce? ! Even "playing games" requires competition? !
And you don't have to work so hard, young master! Can your body handle playing "games" with Bai Liu every day?
"...You should also take care of your health and don't overdo it." The boss coughed awkwardly with a very complicated expression and tactfully advised, "Playing that thing is very harmful to your health. You should rest more recently."
"No." Mu Ke said in a daze, "Bai Liu gave me a task in the next two months. I have to play the game with him fifty times in two months. We have to play the game with five people. My body may not be able to bear it. I have never played with others. Hey, Bai Liu only gave me half a day to rest before starting..."
The boss was completely stunned: "..."
The tasks given by Bai Liu, this [master], are too fucking outrageous! Fifty "games" in two months! And it's even multiplayer sports, damn!
Workers and corporate slaves all have holidays, but he didn't even give Mu Ke a holiday. He even asked Mu Ke to work overtime to "play multiplayer games" with him. What a scumbag!
The boss thought with deep sorrow that Bai Liu, this beast, actually implemented the 996 system.
The author has something to say:
6 Gradually he became a sadistic devil in the eyes of his superiors ()
I won’t spoil the story for sure, so as not to affect your reading experience. In short, it’s a five-member team. Except for 6’s little son (crossed out), teammate Ke and Monkey 4, there are three other team members who are not online. In addition to the core team members, there are also backup team members. 6 usually makes long-term preparations. 6 is very good to his teammates, because he needs to risk his life for his points, but they are really just teammates!!! When 6 deceives people into joining the team, they can do all kinds of sweet talk and fake tricks!! They are just after their money! (Why do I feel like it’s getting more and more like a pyramid scheme?
