The two were talking when not far away, Fu Qing stumbled up out of the ground.
The man who was handsome when he arrived had now become a bloody man drenched in red. He had lost his left arm, climbed out of the tomb with the last bit of his willpower, and fell to the ground.
You Xi and Guo Juexing rushed over to help him. The group of four had one dead and another wounded, but all of the survivors finally succeeded in completing their mission.
Back in the game hall, Fu Qing was immediately transported by staff to the emergency area.
You Xi and Guo Juexing went to the entertainment area. They walked into the ‘Miss Hei Zhenzhu’s Haircuts’ shop and aggressively destroyed the place.
“Hello customer, would you like a perm or a haircut?” The attendant showed eight teeth. Even if the two of them were fierce, his smile remained unchanged as he asked gently: “Which barber would you like to serve you?”
You Xi scanned the whole shop and spoke coldly: “Tom-Laoshi.”
The attendant nodded enthusiastically: “Of course. Customer, please wait one moment.”
However, even after a while, Jiang Jiang did not come as he should have. Instead, big men who shouldn’t have appeared arrived one after another.
“It’s them!” The attendant rushed out and pointed at You Xi. “They’re the ones who stole Miss Hei Zhenzhu’s magic orb!” 1
– – It felt like this black shop bullies people so blatantly!
Seeing that something was wrong, You Xi turned to flee, but the door to the salon was immediately locked.
Desperate, the two had no choice but to face off. Ten minutes later, the last of the big, sturdy men were thrown to the ground and tied up. Guo Juexing clapped his hands and locked his fierce eyes onto the attendant.
Attendant: “……Tom-Laoshi is on the ground floor.”
The attendant was finally beaten up by Guo Juexing. His nose and face were swollen as he led them downstairs and opened the door that was keeping Jiang Jiang captive. Both of Jiang Jiang’s hands were shackled and drained of blood. It was easy to believe that he had suffered many wrongs during his imprisonment.
The thugs created by the salon couldn’t even handle Guo Juexing, so it should have been impossible to defeat Jiang Jiang. However, the game system would still impose combat restrictions on ghosts who entered the game hall to prevent them from killing innocent people or performing illegal or chaotic acts. Secondly, the despicable salon added additional ingredients to the staff meals, so Jiang Jiang was trapped defenselessly while he was eating. 2
Jiang Jiang encountered such a grand misfortune when he was only first entering the workplace. He was crushed by the blow, and after he was rescued, he was in shock, eyes blank.
“Jiang Jiang can actually become a librarian in the future.” Guo Juexing recommended. “The entertainment area of the game hall is run by a private owner. If you’re unlucky, you’ll run into a black shop like this time, but if you apply to become a librarian, you won’t have to won’t have to worry about that kind of thing. Although, the salary isn’t high and the work is boring.”
Jiang Jiang took some healing medicine and cheered up slightly. He hugged You Xi with red eyes, expressing his gratitude.
“Where’s the library?” Jiang Jiang asked. “I’ll stand up from where I fell. I’ve taken note of Miss Hei Zhenzhu’s accounts. One day, I must personally take revenge, washing away my shame!”
The words You Xi had prepared to comfort Jiang Jiang were swallowed back. That’s right. Resentful spirits like Jiang Jiang always relied on the unwillingness and hostility in their hearts to become stronger. When they are hit, why would they need others to rack their brains to comfort them?
A hug or even an encouraging look was enough. Among adults, sometimes caring too much was a type of disrespect for others. You Xi believed that Jiang Jiang would recover soon.
After bidding Jiang Jiang farewell, You Xi and Guo Juexing finally returned to the real world.
You Xi opened his livestream platform.
In this round, his income was high at 20 million game currency. Not only was the commentary in his live broadcasting room explosive, 3his entire livestream platform’s forum was also full of enthusiasm.
Two topics were at the top of the forum.
The first topic was the debate about ‘whether or not ghost NPCs can watch player livestreams’. You Xi clicked on it to check it and scanned all the way down, frightened.
There were different opinions on the forum. Players cited various unusual examples to prove that ghosts could indeed spy on players through their livestreams, but more people thought that ghosts couldn’t watch the livestreams, using the saint as an example. He was indeed S-Level Player 002, Bai Yuan, not a ghost in the traditional sense.
Bai Yuan had been faded out of people’s sight for several years. When he was still active in various instances, the livestream platforms hadn’t yet been established. Only players who had played instances alongside him knew what 002 looked like. Most of the people who had seen 002’s true face previously were dead. A few were still alive, and now they had all basically become well-known A-Level players.
After the saint’s face was exposed to the public for the first time, those A-Level players confirmed that the saint really was Bai Yuan!
