My God Raising Game

Chapter 74, page 690: Thank goodness you were here!

None of the newlyweds expected that Jiang Haishan would launch an attack on the young master.

What is this for?
Infighting?

No one recognized the deceased Holiland girl, so they were indifferent to Lu Jiuling's lack of help for her, thinking it was none of their business anyway.

Holiland's colleagues, apart from Chen Jin who was on good terms with her and who was somewhat resentful of Lu Jiuling, didn't react at all; they were too busy worrying about what to do next.

Big Pants, Fatty Cai, and the guy in plaid pajamas are roommates. They've lived together for over two years and their relationship is alright, but so what?
Kill this little Buddha to avenge my roommate?

Do not make jokes.

If you can give a red envelope of 1,000 yuan as a wedding gift to your roommate, then you're a true buddy.

"The number of divination sticks in the divination box is the same as the number of people. If those two don't draw the worst possible divination stick, then the others will have to draw it. If I give them a buff, then it will be others who die."

Lu Jiuling knew Jiang Haishan's little scheme; it was nothing more than making everyone think he was cold-blooded, so they would stay away from him and isolate him.

"At worst, we can all gamble with our luck and if we die, it's our own bad luck. But if you do this, it's as if all four of you will make it safely ashore."

Wang Yumei was displeased.

Of course, she said this to show her stance, to make it clear to Jiang Haishan.

I support you, so if you run into trouble, you have to lend me a hand.

“I can do whatever I want with my things, I just don’t want you to use them…” Lu Jiuling looked at Wang Yumei: “Is there a problem?”

"It's a favor if someone is willing to help, and it's their right if they're not. Don't ask others to do this or that without permission."

Wang Qida spoke a fair word.

"That's right, 6... He doesn't owe you anything, does he?"

Li Yinuo started to argue, and almost called out Lu Jiuling's name.

"Uh-huh."

Ke Xinyi nodded vigorously. She was timid by nature and not good at cursing or arguing.

Wang Yumei didn't say anything more, staring at Li Yinuo with a fierce look in her eyes.

You little brat, you dare talk back to me? Just wait until I get the chance, I'll teach you a lesson.

If this happened outside, Wang Yumei would definitely have Zou Long arrange for someone to throw a pile of excrement on Li Yinuo's head.

"I'm just stating a fact: the Little Buddha's miracle can clearly improve a person's luck. This girl only drew a bad lot after being sprinkled with golden light. So, without the addition, wouldn't she have drawn the worst lot?"

Jiang Haishan, being experienced, guessed the effect of "auspicious purple clouds coming from the east" based on the divination slips drawn by Lu Jiuling and the other three.

"So it wasn't a matter of luck, but rather that this girl managed to snatch a chance to survive?"

“Your roommates…”

Jiang Haishan looked at Big Pants and Fatty Cai, then at the Holiland employees: "One of your colleagues could have survived."

The newlyweds remained silent.

It has to be said that Jiang Haishan's statement was extremely offensive.

As for the effect it has,

not too good.

After all, in such a strange and eerie place, who wouldn't want to have better luck?
Looking at the complicated expressions on the newlyweds' faces, Jiang Haishan suddenly felt a bit numb. His original intention was to have everyone isolate Little Buddha, but it seemed to have backfired.
No, we need to fix this quickly.

"Those two girls clearly know Little Buddha. He'll definitely give them priority. You two probably won't even get a chance to drink soup."

After Jiang Haishan finished speaking, he walked forward.

The newlyweds followed, and out of caution, they formed their own small groups, keeping their distance and whispering among themselves.

At times like these, the people they trust most are naturally their acquaintances and colleagues.

“Fatty Cai, I’ll stick with that Little Buddha, and you stick with Jiang Haishan.”

The suggestion came from the "Big Pants" (a nickname for a group of people wearing shorts).

"Why not me and Little Buddha?"

Fatty Cai disagreed. He thought Jiang Haishan was too fierce and he preferred to interact with people his own age. The young master looked quite young, and most importantly, he was surrounded by girls.

"Shall we flip a coin?"

He reached into his pockets, only to find them empty.

His wallet was on his bed in the dorm room; he couldn't bring it with him.

"Sitong, if this continues, will we die?"

Liao Xiangyun looked worried. After taking a few steps, she suddenly cried out and her body swayed.

She twisted her left ankle.

Liao Xiangyun's family is from the countryside. The young people have all gone out to work, leaving only the elderly. The village is slowly becoming dilapidated, but at least there are cement roads and utility poles.

But the village in front of us is full of mud-brick houses. The dirt roads have never been paved with cement or even hardened. They were all made by pedestrians walking on them over the years.

The roadside was overgrown with weeds, swarming with mosquitoes, and looked dilapidated; it was so poor that you couldn't even see a stray dog.

This is worse than living conditions in impoverished mountainous areas.

"how could I know?"

Yu Sitong was annoyed. She bent down and rubbed her calf. Luckily, she wasn't wearing high heels, otherwise she would have twisted her ankle walking on this rough road.

Liao Xiangyun moved closer to Yu Sitong, covering her mouth with her left hand: "Whose side do you think we should take?"

"Let's wait and see."

Yu Sitong was conflicted.

The woman who first sided with Jiang Haishan looked like an ordinary woman. Yu Sitong, on the other hand, had a great sense of superiority in both looks and career and was confident of winning. But the question was, how strong was Jiang Haishan?

what?
Good or bad character?

That's not important; what's important is whether I can survive if I follow him.

On the other hand, both Buddha and Spider-Woman have already had two new recruits join them, and they even know each other. If they went over, their chances of joining would be even lower.

"Xiao He, you're always online and know a lot, do you know where this is?"

Wang Qida took a swig of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

He Cong shook his head.

"Uncle Wang, please stop drinking."

Luo Zhihong offered a word of advice and held Wang Qida's hand down.

"That's all your Uncle Wang has to do."

Wang Qida smiled wryly, and although he said that, he still screwed the cap on the bottle.

The three men were strong and powerful, and they never considered relying on others. The remaining four members of the Holiland team were dejected and had no interest in speaking.

Zhang Yan scratched his head in frustration.

Logically speaking, as a man, he should be someone everyone can rely on, but his behavior at the farmhouse just now was terrible.

"Damn, this road is in terrible condition!"

The woman from Phoenix was cursing and swearing.

Not only her, but Tao Ying and the other hairdresser in the sundress also stumbled as they walked.

Tao Ying was wearing high heels, but the "phoenix girl" and the hairdresser were in even worse shape, wearing high heels with a one-inch platform, making the heels two inches high.

These are work shoes. Some customers have a particular fondness for them. The woman in the "phoenix girl" and her sundress never wear these out in their daily lives. They're uncomfortable even on city cement roads, let alone on these bumpy rural dirt roads.

After walking a hundred meters, Phoenix Girl couldn't take it anymore, so she took off her high heels and put her feet, clad in black fishnet stockings, directly on the ground.

Li Yinuo and Ke Xinyi walked ahead of Lu Jiuling, glancing back every few steps, their little faces showing a mixture of unspoken words.

"Alright, say what you want to say."

Lu Jiuling felt sorry for the two of them.

Ke Xinyi was a bit shy, while Li Yinuo was outgoing. Upon hearing Lu Jiuling's words, she immediately rushed in front of him. Because she moved so fast, her left slipper even slipped off.

“690, I knew it was you.”

Li Yinuo chuckled, feeling a great sense of security.

Putting aside his clothes and backpack, Lu Jiuling's height and voice alone make him very recognizable.

Moreover, Lu Jiuling didn't deliberately use a high-pitched voice, so unsurprisingly, he was recognized by the two female classmates he had known for almost three years.

"They were my high school classmates."

Lu Jiuling explained something to Xue Lingren.

"Who is this……"

Li Yinuo looked at Xue Lingren.

Ke Xinyi was also secretly observing.

She was quite slim, dressed in an old school uniform, and wearing clean white sneakers.

Because she was wearing a Spider-Woman mask, her face was not visible. She had a slender neck, short hair, and you could smell the shampoo on her hair.

It's the kind of supermarket product that's sold in large quantities and is cheap.

Judging from his appearance, he is also a high school student.

"My teammate."

Lu Jiuling wasn't very familiar with Xue Lingren either; at the moment, he only knew her name and that her family was probably very poor.

"Oh, hello, I'm Li Yinuo."

Li Yinuo took the initiative to greet him.

"My name is Ke Xinyi, and 690 people is quite good."

Ke Xinyi didn't know how to start a conversation, so she praised Lu Jiuling instead, since it was true anyway.

How did you get here?

Lu Jiuling was curious; this question was worth investigating.

"Yinuo sent me a link, I clicked it, and here I am."

Ke Xinyi's eyes were filled with sorrow, but she did not seem to blame Li Yinuo.

Because we're best friends.

"I don't know if the link was broken. I came across a mini-game while browsing Douyin, and I thought it was pretty fun, so I sent it to Xinyi."

Li Yinuo said dejectedly, "I will never click on those pop-up links again."

"690, where is this place?"

Ke Xinyi looked around at the low mud-brick houses, which reminded her of the villages in historical dramas.

"I don't know either. All I know is that we're playing a game with the gods. We can only get out of here once we've cleared it."

"A game played by the gods? Or a game created by the gods?"

Li Yinuo pressed on, saying that the term sounded very sophisticated.

"That sounds really difficult." Ke Xinyi was exasperated; she was terrible at playing games. "But thankfully you're here."

"In short, listen to me and don't act on your own."

Lu Jiuling gave instructions.

"Ah."

Ke Xinyi thought to herself, "I wouldn't refuse even if you asked me to be your girlfriend."

"No problem." Li Yinuo lifted her left foot, snapped to attention, and saluted: "Brother 69, how about leading us on one more charge?"

As a result, because she pressed her feet together too hard, her slipper flew off again. She quickly lifted her left foot and hopped over to pick it up.

Xue Lingren looked at the two girls and sighed inwardly.

These two are probably going to die in this game.

The group walked along the village road.

After walking for fifteen minutes, we hadn't seen a single ghost, and we hadn't even left the village.

"Are we stuck in a maze?" Phoenix Girl frowned. "Why haven't we left the village yet?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Wang Yumei was disgusted.

"Can we take a break?"

The hairdresser wearing a platform sundress was squatting on the ground, rubbing her calves.

"Are you the only one who's making a fuss?" Wang Yumei cursed. "Just do as Brother Shan says."

Zhou Tao lowered her head and pouted.

depressed.

Why weren't you the one who drew the worst possible lot and died?

After walking for another ten minutes, they were still in the village and couldn't get out. At this point, everyone started to feel uneasy and realized that something was wrong.

Jiang Haishan stopped: "Little Buddha, what do you think?"
