Chapter 505 Psychological Warfare
Meng Qingyin stopped immediately, and "Yusheng Weiyi" stopped as well.
"Yusheng Weiyi" immediately messaged her: "Boss, why did you stop? The others will catch up with us soon!"
Mengmeng: "What's your random bonus?"
Yu Shengwei: "It's a life-saving skill. Within five minutes, players of a higher level than me won't be able to kill me."
Mengmeng: "Bill's current identity is that of a squid, while mine is that of a lanternfish. He is at least one level above me, and I don't want to keep hiding from him."
Yu Shengwei: "What do you want to do?"
Mengmeng: "My trump card right now is that I've seen through Bill's identity, but he doesn't know who I am. I want to use that to scare him away. I'm not forcing you to join forces with me; you can leave now."
She hadn't expected Bill to evolve so quickly.
A lead at one step leads to a lead at every step.
Bill's future development is very likely to be one or even several steps ahead of hers in every aspect.
Since they are both in the Qingyang Sea area, it's likely that they will inevitably encounter each other again in the future.
If she can intimidate Bill now, then Bill will be wary of her later.
Of course, if her mission fails, she will be eliminated immediately, and it won't matter what happens to her afterward.
To be honest, she wasn't very confident about her next move.
Unexpectedly, "Yusheng Weiyi" chose to stay, saying, "Boss, we're both from server 30. How can I abandon you and run away at a time like this? I'll stick with you through thick and thin. At worst, we'll just be eliminated."
Meng Qingyin couldn't even be bothered with being touched. The others had already caught up. She quickly sent a message to "Yusheng Weiyi": "Okay, go to the channel in District 30 right now and ask everyone what the lanternfish will evolve into. I'll deal with Bill!"
"Yusheng Weiyi" nodded slightly to her and immediately went to the chat area to send a message.
After catching up with the two, Bill didn't rush to eat them.
In the past, the "prey" he tracked would always flee in panic until they were exhausted and eaten by him.
But the two people in front of him didn't seem to be exhausted; they seemed to have deliberately stopped to wait for him.
Why did they stop and wait for him?
The answer seems obvious: they want to eat him.
However, being a squid, he was confident that almost no one could be of a higher rank than him.
Could the two people in front of us be exceptions?
Bill did not act rashly.
Although this little game didn't offer the thrill of brutal killing, he found it interesting.
He wants to be the first player to evolve into a shark!
He wants all the gamers in the world to know that Bill is their god!
With such a purpose in mind, he inevitably acted with caution.
Bill (NA Region 25): "You should have heard of me, right? Why don't you run away when you see me?"
Meng Qingyin did not reply; she knew that the scales of victory had begun to tip in her favor.
The moment Bill stopped chasing them, she knew he had fallen into her trap.
Given the right opportunity, we can definitely turn the tables and take the initiative!
Meng Qingyin casually swam a short distance towards Bill, who noticed her movement and retreated.
Bill (NA Region 25): "Don't come any closer, or don't blame me for being impolite! Do you know who I am?"
He stared at Meng Qingyin with some wariness, his caution beginning to turn into apprehension.
Could this woman be of a higher rank than him?
Otherwise, why would she act so radically?
He decided to try and swindle the woman.
Bill (NA Server 25): "Mengmeng, I've seen through your disguise. You're just a lanternfish, how dare you provoke me?"
As far as he knows, the players who are progressing relatively quickly have only evolved to Lanternfish, and it's impossible for anyone to go higher than Lanternfish.
This Mengmeng is so confident, she's probably just a lanternfish at best.
Almost simultaneously with his message, "Yusheng Weiyi" sent a private message: "I've asked, the highest-level player in our region is Lanternfish!"
Meng Qingyin was not surprised; this news was of little consequence to her at the moment.
Having it is a bonus, but not having it is not a big deal.
Mengmeng (Hanafu District 30): "Really? Then do you know who my friend is?"
Bill (NA Server 25): "Heh, her? You two are on the same level, you'll both become my food!"
Yu Shengwei: "He doesn't know my rank! That means he can't see through our identities at all! He's lying!"
Meng Qingyin was also certain that Bill couldn't see through her identity, and once she knew this, she was completely relieved.
Mengmeng (Hanafu District 30): "Really? That's a pity. Your props don't seem to be quite accurate."
Bill was startled. Had he guessed wrong? Were the two people in front of him not lanternfish, but squid of the same kind as him?
Mengmeng (Hanafuku District 30): "I also have an item that can see through your identity. I find it ridiculous. How dare a squid act so arrogantly in front of the two of us?"
After sending the message, Meng Qingyin rushed forward without warning. Just as she was about to touch Bill's body, Bill quickly pulled back, turned around, and swam forward without looking back.
This Mengmeng actually knows his identity!
That means she is at least at the same level as him, or even possibly at a higher level!
Because those of lower rank cannot know those of higher rank!
Like him, he had no idea what his next level would be.
Based on what she just said, her level must be higher than mine!
Bill swam forward quickly, and when he looked back, he saw that Mengmeng and the other two were chasing after him relentlessly!
Their rank must be higher than mine!
Bill was now completely convinced of this.
But how can I get rid of these two persistent women?
Just when he was at a loss, a school of fish suddenly swam in from not far ahead. The school of fish was vast and provided excellent cover.
Bill was overjoyed; it seemed even God was on his side!
He swam quickly into the school of fish, and using them as cover, he finally managed to shake off Meng Qingyin and "Yusheng Weiyi".
The two pursuers also stopped in front of the school of fish.
Meng Qingyin thought to herself, the fish arrived just in time, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find the right opportunity to "lose track" Bill.
