Five Schools League (V)
[New! Character Quest]: Make a puppet with this character. Quest Reward: The Art of Making a Living Puppet.]
To be honest, Li Yuebai was not very interested in the reward for this mission, and was not very motivated to complete it - it was just a living puppet, wasn't it? He didn't even have to spend time refining it, and he got a lot of fun toys.
In his opinion, there is not much meaning in forcibly controlling other people's bodies. Perhaps controlling other people's brains and minds, thereby affecting their bodies, is somewhat interesting.
However, it is true that when playing games, there are always some miscellaneous skills that are placed in the skill library, but when you play the game, they are never used once.
"What are you thinking about?" He tilted his head and looked over, meeting a pair of eyes as quiet as a lake.
Cedric brought tea sets and was boiling water. The steam was rising. Li Yuebai sat back a little and said in disgust, "It's so hot."
Cedric could tell that he didn't want to answer his question, but he didn't get angry. He just reached out and held his hand and felt it.
Li Yuebai: "Hmm? What?"
The young man smiled and said, "Your hands were always a little cold before, I didn't expect that one day you would feel warm."
In his previous life, Li Yuebai was a stay-at-home guy who never did any exercise. Although he was rarely sick, his physical condition was poor. Running 1000 meters would tire him to death. Sometimes, after staying up all night, he would look pale the next day. Once, he was almost forcibly taken to the infirmary.
After the time travel, after being strengthened by various cards, especially the [Nameless Saint], he is now full of energy and strength, with rosy and shiny cheeks.
Li Yuebai smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes: "It seems to be much better than before. It's not cold without the wind."
"That's a good thing." Cedric slowly made him some tea that was said to be very expensive and shipped from somewhere else. "The second cup is the best, please."
Li Yuebai took a sip, the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth. He said regretfully: "Milk tea is still better."
"Milk tea?" Cedric said with a smile, "Adding milk to tea? What kind of new way of drinking is this? I didn't prepare all the ingredients."
"Yes, be careful next time."
Several hidden mobile cameras diligently recorded everything.
It’s still multi-angle and full surround.
[I can't stand it anymore.]
[I can’t stand it anymore +1.]
[I can’t stand it anymore++++++++++++]
[Can't watch any more]
[Don’t they know this is a live broadcast???]
[Am I watching the league channel? I thought I had stumbled onto a dating reality show.]
[Haha, Saint Priss, the black-haired guy, basically did nothing in the first round, which was a complete waste of his spot. I wonder if he got in by using unspoken rules.]
[Here you go again, rumormonger. I'm really impressed. Go try lurking.]
[Do you have to post the qualifying results of the month before you believe it?]
[Give me your address. I'm here to challenge you. If you lose, don't call.]
[Am I the only one who wants to see them win? So anxious, why are they just staying here and not earning points? Even if they don’t complete the highest-scoring mission, it’s ok to just save some points for killing monsters.]
[Didn’t Capet go out and kill?]
[.]
[So they were drinking tea by the river?]
[Cape looks like a mad dog, but in fact, they are two great enemies. No one objects to my statement, right?]
[The atmosphere between the young couple is quite good.]
[Don't talk nonsense, they are not a couple.]
[You guys are in no use being anxious, I have inside information, Brother Yueqin is in this competition, does he really need to earn points himself?]
[? ]
[Details.]
[Ahem, I dare not say.]
[Get away.]
[You aroused my curiosity but you still don’t tell me. I hate people like you the most. Let’s have a duel. Come out and have a duel!!!]
[Oh, you are so cool?]
[Ooooh! They stand up!]
[Stand up and look at the scenery, right?]
[No... there seems to be something in the river.]
A day ago, all the contestants arrived at this secret place by airship. Li Yuebai didn't quite know its exact geographical location, but according to Cedric's popular science, they had arrived in the southwest of the continent.
Li Yuebai often feels that the technological level of this world is a bit abstract. It can be said to be low-tech. Digital technologies such as spiritual realm and augmented reality technology are quite advanced. But on the one hand, the levels of these technologies are uneven. Some technologies are developed based on superpowers, such as the teleportation array that requires huge superpower crystals to use; on the other hand, although there are relatively powerful digital technologies, there are no fun games.
Although we may not have entered the era of interstellar travel and cannot achieve warp flight, but without the means of transportation with special powers, it seems that our life is not much different from our previous life.
Perhaps it is because individual power is too strong that it suppresses the development of science and technology, and this has led to an extreme worship of heroes.
Li Yuebai didn't need to be worshipped, nor did he want to shoulder other people's expectations, so he openly clung to Cedric and trembled without any image at the game that was being broadcast live on the entire network: "Fuck."
The secret realm is located at a high altitude. The river flows from top to bottom, the water is flowing, and the bottom is clear. This is why he chose to rest by the river for a while.
But now, there was a layer of shadow floating on the surface of the river, like a piece of black cloth covering the river. Looking closely, the layer of shadow was actually densely packed insects, which were floating on the water for some reason, tightly packed together, and constantly wriggling.
"It's so disgusting! I can't bear to see this." Facing a group of vicious murderers every day, the iron-willed Li Yuebai rarely loses his composure.
He hugged his teammate from the left, saying it was disgusting but he couldn't help but look at it, and at the same time he couldn't help but increase his strength and pinch his teammate's arm.
It hurts a little.
"Hmm..." Facing his attack, Cedric, who should have avoided it, was able to remain motionless.
To be honest, he was a bit used to this guy's inappropriate words and deeds, and he didn't even bother to remind him that he was broadcasting live.
Li Yuebai: The countdown to the mass extinction of the game system is only a few days away, and the new expansion pack is just around the corner. It is estimated that a lot of people will die. What's the point of managing personal image?
"Although it looks like a local specialty species, I vaguely remember that a contestant from Sunan Yeli College seemed to be good at manipulating organisms..." Cedric was halfway through his words when he heard the voice of a third person.
"It's been dealt with." As soon as the words were spoken, the black bugs on the river surface retreated like the tide.
A familiar voice came from the opposite side. Li Yuebai looked up and saw a young man walking out from the other side of the river, pushing aside the leaves.
The moment he appeared, even the sunlight seemed a little brighter.
He really suits white, and the Saint-Prix jersey on him makes him look cold and solemn with a hint of brightness. But for some reason, his left sleeve is stained with blood, and this touch of blood makes this brightness seem oppressive.
"What happened to your hand?"
"I met your roommate earlier. He seems to have become a little stronger."
He explained briefly, lowered his eyes, then raised them again, continuing to stare at his ignorant brother.
My brother scratched his neck and didn't care about this issue any further.
Did his recent behavior arouse suspicion? Perhaps the Sword Master's disciple was using the competition as an excuse to test him.
Not only the frequent church activities and the mysterious Li family, but also the puppeteer who disappeared the night before the game are full of doubts.
It would be strange if it didn't arouse suspicion, haha... But those corrupt bureaucrats simply don't have the courage to directly take down the current head of the Li family without solid evidence.
Li Jianxue's speech speed is always very slow, like a deep and quiet stream: "I have been looking for you. Have you forgotten what I said to you before? Yuebai."
"What?" Li Yuebai was at a loss.
"That day at the training ground." He gave a hint.
He then remembered that on the day he met Don Yimer, he went to his brother's team's training ground in order to look for the new card. His brother mistakenly thought that he was worried about the game and frantically hinted that he could let it go.
Because a lot of other things happened later that day, he forgot about it.
"Yeah, I remember."
"Then I'll come to your side?"
The surface of the river gradually froze over and became a smooth surface.
His brother walked towards him without looking away.
What a great ability to pretend to be cool without being noticed! Li Yuebai was stunned for a moment.
Cedric interrupted with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Senior Li? I remember we were not in the same team."
"Teamwork is not prohibited in this game."
"Of course we welcome cooperation, but where are the seniors' team members? If we want to cooperate, why aren't they here?"
"As the captain, I can represent our team. As for the other members... they have other things to do and are not around for the time being."
"I see, there's something else going on. That can't be helped."
This statement was a bit ambiguous and suspicious, which made Li Yuebai hesitate.
[Wake up, your group is now at the bottom, and their group is now at the top! Are you still afraid that they will steal your points?]
[Compared to this, what is the White King doing? Why is he cooperating?]
[They seem to be very familiar with each other...]
[I didn’t mention it before, but I’m just saying that every time I see this black-haired pretty boy, I always feel like he looks a little familiar…]
[Really?]
[No way?]
[Is it what I thought? ? ? ? ]
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I have already promised Yuebai..." Li Jianxue finally glanced at Cedric. It seemed that because of the live broadcast, Li Jianxue did not continue.
"Hey, this is still a little secret between you brothers."
As soon as Cedric finished speaking, comments flew across the live broadcast interface.
[I'm so fucking stupid]
[Don't curse, oh, you have been blocked. ]
[I'm so fucking stupid (repeat)]
[I'm so fucking stupid (repeat)]
[Ah, you guys don't want to log in anymore?]
[Fuck…they are brothers? ? ? Yue is from a separate family?]
[They look so similar, what do you think?]
[I really don’t think they look alike if they are not in the same frame]
[Yue’s temperament is too outrageous… The face is a bit similar, but the whole person is a blue continent away from the cold and indifferent royal family… Is being handsome really a kind of temperament?]
[What's the difference? Our Yuebai is very cute, don't compare yourself to her]
[Death to the spicy dog.]
[…I mean the gap is too big, not bad]
[Oh my god (plant), stop comparing yourself to me. Do you think you can talk about the Li family? You are so bold. I will ban you from talking in a moment.]
A large number of accounts just died on the spot, but the three people present didn't care at all.
The blue-haired young man leaned close to Li Yuebai's ear and whispered, "You can come with us, but it's better to keep a distance so that we can react more easily."
[Help, this is intentional.]
[You’re so close, I can hear whatever you say. Who doesn’t have keen senses? What are you doing pretending to bite my ear?]
[To show off, of course!]
[What are they showing off? Showing off that they have already done it?]
[Swearing sovereignty in front of my brother-in-law, right?]
[…Don’t be so disgusting]
[Love Brain Climbing]
[You are so young, who knows? Having a difficult brother-in-law is really frustrating. I am 30, and I went to propose marriage yesterday, and then my brother-in-law beat me up...]
[What a mess, can you please stop thinking about sex in everything you read? I give up]
"What you said makes sense." Li Yuebai felt that it was important to keep a trick up his sleeve, and nodded in agreement.
The blue-haired young man stared into his clear and innocent eyes.
He said that he trusted him more, so he made such a suggestion - he sensed something ominous from Li Jianxue.
Since he was born with the secret mission of the Cavendish family, he can get a glimpse into the fortunes of others. However, his ability to get a glimpse into the fortunes of the strong will be weakened to a certain extent.
He couldn't see Li Jianxue's fortune before, but he has gradually been able to feel it recently.
...It’s not because Li Jianxue is not strong enough. On the contrary, as far as he knows, Li Jianxue’s strength may have reached a very terrifying level.
Therefore, the ominous feeling he could feel was only because his fortune trend had become so strong that it could not be concealed.
Cedric blinked.
In his field of vision, there was a wisp of black gas like smoke overflowing from Li Jianxue's body. It looked thin and fine, but it spread very widely, connecting the sky above and the water below.
He had never seen such a strange manifestation of fortune.
"Brother..." Li Yuebai scratched his head pretending to be embarrassed and organized his words, trying to get his brother's points for free, but he also thought of being on guard. He was a typical person who wanted everything.
"Just do as you say." Li Jianxue just curled her lips and said, "It's a good thing to be vigilant."
He took the initiative to stop, took a few steps back, and said, "Let's discuss ways to cooperate here."
He stood in the middle of the frozen river, his dark eyes unable to reflect the light reflected from the ice.
