It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 435 Next

The team leader seemed to have heard a joke and laughed out loud: "Hahaha..."

Xiao Shu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He scratched the back of his head and laughed at himself: "Am I just imagining things..."

Huangfu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. Xiaoshu's change of subject just now had inadvertently put the team leader's guard down.

The team leader seemed very perceptive. She decided to keep a low profile and not ask any more questions.

There should be more than one person in charge of leading the team. Maybe next time when we form a team and enter the maze, the leader we meet will be more approachable.

Huangfu Miaomiao was thinking about all sorts of things when she heard the team leader say jokingly, "Although we haven't been recruiting many new members recently, if certain conditions are met, Xingxing will welcome new members to join us."

Xiao Shu's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "What are the specific conditions?"

The leader smiled at him and said, "Xingxing will give priority to players with control and parasitic abilities, as well as..."

"And what?" Xiaoshu asked impatiently.

The leader curled his lips and said, "And the player who has the Squirrel card."

The little tree was stunned.

Not only was he stunned, but the expressions of the three players on the other side also became subtle.

It is almost common knowledge that stars use squirrels as explosives.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold and no one spoke.

After a while, the bearded man stood up and said, "Let's go. It's almost time to rest. Let's go kill monsters."

Everyone stood up and followed the bearded man to leave the safe zone.

The leader reminded me from behind: "Remember, don't leave the lakeshore when killing monsters. If you are lured to another place by the singing, no one will save you."

Although the tour guide's attitude was not very good, the service was considerate and thoughtful.

The group set off into the depths of the woods.

The bearded man seemed to mind Xiao Shu's question and sneered in front of the team: "You don't have much strength, but you still want to join the Star Club. Do you really think it's a good place? You are a bunch of lunatics. Aren't you afraid of killing yourself?"

It was obvious that he was extremely fawning towards the team leader, but now he looked down on Xiaoshu.

Xiao Shu was very unconvinced, but he didn't dare to say anything harsh, so he explained awkwardly: "If you join the Star Club, maybe you can enter the maze at will to earn points. You can see that the Abyss Administrators are in their hands..."

The woman in the team sneered and glanced back at Xiao Shu. "Silly boy, you have to understand that the maze originally belongs to all players. If the Star Club hadn't caught those administrators, we could still enter the maze. Even if it would be more difficult to find clues, at least we wouldn't have to pay an entry fee."

The bearded man cursed in a low voice: "A bunch of vampires. You have to pay more than 3,000 yuan in handling fees to log off the game, and another 1,000 yuan in entrance fees to enter the maze. Almost half of the points I worked so hard to earn have been handed over!"

Another player followed suit and taunted, "Why else would that idiot want to join the Star Club? Look at the leader just now. He just lay in the safe zone for a day and earned a thousand dollars without doing anything."

Xiaoshu listened to their conversation and inevitably looked a little embarrassed.

Huangfu Miaomiao, who was at the end of the team, said in a low voice: "But I heard... uh, the Star Club killed the administrator and established the Player Paradise. The Star Club's ambition is to fight against the system and save everyone."

"What a bullshit ambition! In the end, it's all for their own benefit!" The bearded man was very disdainful and spat, "What these guys earn from us is no less than what the system earns."

Xiaoshu slowed down, gently held Huangfu Miaomiao's hand, shook his head at her, and signaled her not to talk about this topic anymore.

It would not be good for either of them to piss this group off.

Huangfu Miaomiao pursed her lips and continued to follow the team obediently. After arriving at the lakeshore, she saw the Manola fairy that the leader had mentioned.

These fairies are slender and delicate, with beautiful faces, and it is difficult to tell whether they are male or female. They are covered with colorful feathers from the shoulders down. They make strange poses on the waterside with intoxicated expressions, as if they are dancing an alternative dance.

Although they look weak, they are difficult to kill because they will hide in the woods at the slightest sign of trouble.

The players remembered their leader's advice and stayed by the lake.

However, the efficiency of killing monsters was naturally not as high as last night. After working until noon, each person only earned an extra 100 or 200 points.

Afterwards, they returned to the safe zone along the same route, each handed in 200 points to the team leader, and left the maze.

The car drove back to the gas station where the players gathered.

Huangfu Miaomiao and Xiaoshu got out of the car and stood confusedly under the shade of a tree by the roadside, watching the players coming and going.

What should I do next?

Huangfu Miaomiao had no experience in gathering intelligence, and originally wanted to take the opportunity of entering the maze to get close to the team leader and ask for information about how to join the Star Club, but when she hit a wall she backed off, not quite sure what to do.

Xiao Shu squatted beside her, flipping through the team-building posts on the forum, and sighed: "All the team-building posts with team leaders are full, and only wild map teams are left."

He turned around and asked Huangfu Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, how about we form a team for Yetu?"

——Game wild maps refer to the non-main mission areas in the game world that players can explore freely. In the context of Xiaoshu, it refers to non-maze areas where a large number of pollutants exist.

Huangfu Miaomiao forced a smile at him: "I'm a little tired and want to find a place to rest. You go by yourself."

She was here to get clues, and teaming up to kill monsters would only be a waste of time.

"Yeah, I have to find a place to sleep too." Xiao Shu stood up, looked around, pointed to a building and asked, "Shall we go over there and take a look?"

Huangfu Miaomiao nodded absentmindedly.

There are many buildings near the gas station, mostly restaurants and cafes, surrounded by lush tropical plants. Further away are hotels and commercial streets.

This city has been abandoned, and now only players are active here.

The two walked past the gas station. Xiao Shu paused and said in surprise, "Wow, I didn't expect there are humans here."

"Ah?" Huangfu Miaomiao came to her senses and turned to look towards the gas station.

A one-eyed man was bending over to check the hood of a car, with the level mark above his head indicating he was an elite monster.

The player next to him asked the one-eyed man, "Blind man, can this car still be driven?"

The one-eyed man stood up and replied, "The brake pads are a little worn, but it's not a big problem. Just fix it."

He noticed that he was being stared at, so he looked up and saw Huangfu Miaomiao and Xiaoshu standing on the side of the road.

Huangfu Miaomiao's face turned pale, and she hid behind the tree without even thinking! It was as if a hundred mosquitoes had flown into her brain, buzzing all over!
"Miao Miao?" Xiao Shu was confused. "What's wrong with you?"

Huangfu Miaomiao grabbed Xiaoshu's arm and buried her head in his chest. "It's okay... I feel a little dizzy, maybe I have heatstroke! Let's go!"

This is terrible! Why did she feel that the other person looked familiar? Did she know him? Where had she seen him before? Would the other person recognize her too?

Is she going to be exposed?!

Ahhh dead brain! Think fast!
Who is this one-eyed man? ! !
