Chapter 147: One Hundred and Forty-Five · "Do you hate the United Group?"
In the brightly lit reception room, there were whispers of conversation.
The senior executives outside the door put their ears to the door, and only then did they begin to regret why the secondary profession did not develop something like a camera.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Edward looked at the guy with extreme vigilance.
He never seemed to understand this man.
All he sees is competition and becoming stronger, but the person in front of him... Su Mingan seems to see more than that.
"Lu Shu blocked me."
Su Mingan's tone was very gentle...almost to the point of being kind.
"Edward, you are his good friend, please give him a video call. Since you are not going to fight, I want to persuade him first."
Edward didn't want to help, and he was silent for a while.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a "dripping" thing appear in Su Mingan's hand. It was silver-white and emitted beautiful light under the light.
Mechanical explosives.
This thing, he saw the forum recording after his return, and it almost wiped out the three werewolves.
"It's no use threatening me." Edward said, "The secondary profession has developed a safety array and placed it under the building. The explosives cannot be ignited here."
"...There actually is such a thing." Su Mingan suddenly realized that secondary occupations were really useful.
As he spoke, he moved his hand down to press on Edward's shoulder.
It still hurts there.
"Wait, I'll help you." Edward immediately dialed Lu Shu's video call and quickly turned the panel to Su Mingan.
“Drip—drip—”
While waiting for the call to be connected, Edward leaned back on the sofa, waiting for Su Mingan's move. He wanted to see how this man was going to persuade Lu Shu.
“Pah.”
The video is connected.
Lu Shu's face appeared in the picture. Next to him was a big bag of cabbages. Xiao Bi was eating them happily, as if she hadn't eaten vegetables for 800 years.
“…”
When he saw Su Mingan, Lu Shu's originally vigilant expression softened in an instant.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but quickly swallowed his words.
"Go to your personal space and wait." Su Mingan looked at him: "Wait until the fifth world, and we will form a team together."
"Wait, I..."
"What you are doing is meaningless. Let me teach you what you should do." Su Mingan interrupted his meaningless explanation.
Lu Shu choked on his words. He looked at the camera, then at Xiaobi who was eating happily beside him. He was silent for a moment, and then nodded very lightly.
He pinched the mantis that he was eating happily and threw it behind him, and a green arc was drawn. He opened his hand and grabbed the plastic bag, and left the forest with the red butterfly that was resting beside him.
Edward looked at the scene in bewilderment.
...Is that it?
He didn't expect that Su Ming'an's "persuasion" would be so straightforward.
...It was completely different from when I talked to him.
"It's over. I understand. He just had a distracted thought." Su Ming'an looked at him and said, "Then I should leave too. As for me, Edward, this is the end of our conversation. I won't come to enlighten you a second time."
"Wait a minute." Edward did not get angry this time when he heard Su Ming'an's contemptuous words.
He stood up from the sofa and walked closer. His eyes suddenly became extremely serious, as if he was eager to confirm something:
"Su Ming'an." Edward's expression was very serious: "Have you ever considered me as an opponent... or do you hate the United Group's behavior?"
Outside the door, the people who were watching the event coming to an end were about to rush in, but when they heard this question, they immediately stopped in their tracks.
Their ears were pressed against the door, eager to know an answer.
Su Mingan looked at him steadily.
"……you guess?"
Edward got an answer that made him collapse.
The next moment, the door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and a group of senior executives wearing various badges, gold stars, silver five-pointed stars, sea-colored uniforms with sky-blue stripes rushed in hurriedly, but saw a fluctuation in space.
The object they wanted to fight for was displaced in space and left.
…
Su Mingan returned to his personal space.
He found the new house on the Housing District column of the forum.
Thanks to the privacy settings, he was able to view the house smoothly according to the map location, and paid 40 points in the system to buy it.
A larger house is necessary to accommodate Jasmine and her three followers.
After Su Ming'an decided on a place to stay, his clone, who was politely invited to the guest room by the United Group, also stood up.
The high-ranking member of the United Group opposite the clone was still a little dazed. He had just been "confessing his heart" to the clone of the first player, promising huge benefits, and seeing that the people at the opposite table were about to agree, the person opposite suddenly stood up.
"Let's go and live in the house." Ying drank up the extremely precious tea that the United Group used to entertain guests, commented that it was "terribly unpalatable", and walked out with the three tin men, bumping into people.
Due to the fear of these three NPCs who dared to take action in the main god space, no one dared to stop them along the way. Even if someone extended an olive branch, Ying continued to rush towards the teleportation array as if he didn't hear it.
The people who had chased out looked at the figure that disappeared on the teleportation array and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"……what to do."
"It seems that he has no good feelings towards our joint group..."
"Why didn't you keep them here? Where's the Lighthouse Theory researcher you hired in advance?"
"…He said something like 'this theory is none of his business' and kicked the person out directly…"
“…To be honest.”
"In fact, I personally think that it's fine for Player One to be like this, Joe. The purpose of our United Group is not to focus on one person, but for the vast majority of humanity. Edward's failure also proves this."
"...Go call Su Shi first."
…
District, Longguo Retirement Area.
Those who live here are casual players who don't want to play.
Since it is still night time, there are not many people walking on the streets, but you can see many middle-aged people playing chess together under the street lights.
——Perhaps these people were once elderly before they reverted to this age.
These people were selected into the world game, but they can continue to live their lives as if nothing had happened. They seem to be completely isolated from the outside world and live in harmony with it.
Su Mingan passed by them. He didn't even see any place like a movie theater here - because the top players of the Fourth World competed on the same stage and there was also a points betting platform, almost every district and server had business-minded people opening places like movie theaters and teahouses.
But not here.
These middle-aged people who used to be elderly people... never seem to watch live broadcasts or pay attention to world forums. They continue to grow flowers and raise birds as usual, as if nothing had happened.
