Opening the map didnât take up much time. Ming Shu finished her portion and met the rest of them at the same place.
âWind God, how shall we fight?â Qingqiu Zhong asked Ming Shu.
Normally, Tonightâs Moon was the one who came up with the strategy. However, the leader of the Team Gift Pack of Snacks was Ming Shu. She had the last say.
Ming Shu thought for two seconds. âFree play.â
The corners of Tonightâs Moonâs mouth twitched.
This is a team game. What do you mean by free play?
They could free play during the preliminary contest, but in the actual contest, they couldnât afford to make any mistakes.
The map was huge, but since it was a desert, there were not a lot of places they could hide in. Tonightâs Moon distributed everyoneâs roles quickly.
Ming Shu didnât want to use her brain. She felt that it was a tiring thing to do. Also, she couldnât eat anything to replenish her energy now.
Their opponent didnât want to fight with them head-on, so they chose to find the red flags.
However, after looking through a few locations where the red flags might be, they still couldnât find it.
The audience was anxious.
You all have passed them a few times!
Theyâre right under your feet!
âStrange, why isnât there anything?â
âIt shouldnât be. There are only a few locations where they can put the red flags.â
âWe have looked through all of them. Why didnât we see anything?â
The few of them gathered and started discussing. Time seemed to pass quickly, but in actual fact, only a few minutes elapsed.
âBrothers, do you all want to fight?â
The people that were discussing got a shock from the voice that suddenly appeared. They jumped and quickly turned their heads around.
A swordsman was standing on a stone pillar. The hot wind rustled his clothes.
âIs he alone?â
âI donât see anyone else...â
They looked at each other. Should they fight?
âThat is Wind God...â Someone hesitated.
âIt is just a game. Letâs go!â Another person had a good mentality.
âCharge!â
There were three of them. No matter how strong Wind God was, he wouldnât be able to win against all three of them, right?
The three players felt more relaxed.
They took out their weapons and rushed toward Wind God from three different directions.
Ming Shu jumped down lightly from the stone pillar. She wielded her sword. The sand on the ground flew up and scattered in front of her opponents. It blocked their view.
The three people could vaguely see the shadow in front of them splitting into two. The two shadows rushed toward them amidst the sand.
The three players instinctively attacked with their skills.
Skills flashed. The sand cleared, and they saw who the two shadows were.
They were Overlapped Moon and Sun and Qingqiu Zhong.
âAhh...!â one of the players screamed. When he screamed, Qingqiu Zhong appeared in front of him. The light from his skill flashed past his eyes. He fell down onto the ground.
He died.
You could be revived in this game but no items could be used. You had to rely on a class that could heal people.
But...
Their healer was lying beside them.
Ming Shuâs team targeted their opponentâs healer first.
Hence, their opponent had no chance of revival.
Ming Shu was excited to see how long the other three opponents would last.
...
[Gift Pack of Snacks won.]
[Time used: 08:24:34]
The screen showcased the results. Everyone expected it, but it was still... a little surprising.
These people split into two groups and chased after their opponents. They were not worried that their flag would be found.
Of course, since they hid their red flag so well, no one would be able to find it.
Eight minutes was very little as compared to the normal one hour for each game.
The second and third game ended quickly too. Ming Shuâs team had no strategy. They just found their opponents and fought with them.
They dominated the game.
âWhere did you all hide your red flags?â
This was the first question the other team asked after they took off their helmets.
They didnât mind if they got killed, but they couldnât find the red flag, either.
They couldnât find it for all three games!
They almost suspected that they cheated.
No one could understand such pain.
Ming Shu smiled. âWe didnât hide it.â
âThen why canât we find it?â
Ming Shu took off her helmet and walked out quickly. âLook at the replay.â
â...â
Why are you running so fast? Is there a ghost chasing you?
But... what class did this girl play?
Was she the flower god called Jiang Liu?
They looked at the replay. They were speechless.
Three rounds.
The red flag remained at the place where they spawned.
They were cheating!
Truthfully, there was no rule against doing this. No one had done it before, so the creators of the game felt helpless too. After this season, a new rule was added to the competition.
Of course, this all happened in the future.
Ming Shu rushed out of the competition area and grabbed the snacks from Wang Heyangâs hands. âDid you steal any of my snacks?â
Wang Heyang swallowed the words that he wanted to say. âWhy would I steal your snacks? How old am I?â
âWho knows?â The temptation of snacks was too huge.
The others came out too. Yellow Crane Returning West was busy as usual and left the moment he came out.
Qingqiu Zhong wanted to have a meal with everyone. Tonightâs Moon received a call along the way and left in his old SUV.
However, this did not stop Qingqiu Zhong from wanting to treat everyone. Ming Shu was ready to accept his treat.
Thus, before the competition ended, these people left.
After they finished their meal, Ming Shu came out of the restaurant. She held a drink in one hand and took out her cellphone with the other. She prepared to call for a taxi.
Just as she pressed the schedule button, a car stopped in front of her.
The car window wound down.
âMr. Si.â Ming Shu bit her straw and smiled innocently. âSuch a coincidence.â
âThis is not a coincidence.â Si Chen looked unhappy. âI came here to find you.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âFind me? Why do you want to find me? I donât have any snacks for you.â
Si Chen: â...â Who wants your snacks? I can buy enough snacks to fill up an entire city myself.
âYou think that I want to come and find you?â He was not so free. He ordered impatiently, âGet in the car.â
Ming Shu smiled. âI already called for a taxi.â
Ming Shu shook her head. This little demon is up to no good. I will not fall into his trap!
I must protect my snacks!
Si Chen opened the door with a dark face and grabbed Ming Shuâs wrist. He pulled her into the car.
Ming Shu held onto the door of the car. âMr. Si, you are kidnapping a young girl. I can call the police.â
Si Chen pulled her hand away from the car door. He picked her up and threw her into the backseat. Then he gritted his teeth and said in a sinister tone, âCall the police then.â
Boom!
The car door closed.
Ming Shu wanted to open the door but it was locked.
Si Chen sat in the passengerâs seat. âDrive.â
The driver stepped on the accelerator. He was frightened by the cold aura Si Chen was giving off.
Si Chen brought Ming Shu back to the villa. Ming Shu realized that there were many people in the villa. The atmosphere was tense and strange.
Si Chen brought her to the basement of the villa.
They passed through many locked doors. From fingerprint sensors to scanning the face and the eyes...
âAre you all inventing something that can destroy the world?â
Si Chen replied angrily, âStop watching movies.â What the hell is she saying? What is going through her mind every day?
Si Chen led her through a passageway. There were translucent rooms along the passageway. All kinds of machines and workers were busy working in the rooms.
Ming Shu looked into the room. The lab assistants were gathered around a robot. It looked exactly like a human except for the robotic arm that was exposed.
