Chase Game

The Tibetan Mastiff died, the settlement was completed, and everyone returned to reality.

They were still in the main building when a darker shadow appeared in the darkness before them—the dead Tibetan mastiff.

Ling glanced at the time and saw that it had indeed been less than twenty minutes, but he felt as if he had truly experienced two hours.

It's a bit like Tsukuyomi...

For some reason, he thought of Uchiha's signature move of taking on seven opponents at once.

Now, the five people, excluding Ling Yi, looked at each other, and finally all looked at Li Qingping.

Li Qingping was chosen to speak, and after some hesitation, he began, "You..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Ling Yi interrupted him with a smile, "Am I responsible?"

Li Qingping paused for a moment, then replied:

"No, the association doesn't manage things within the game. It's just that writing reports and stuff afterwards is a bit of a hassle..."

Ling Yi leaned closer, patted his shoulder, and said with a light smile, "Shouldn't the captain be the one writing reports?"

"That's true, but you're not mine yet..."

Li Qingping was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly woke up.

"Oh, is that so? Cough cough... Don't worry, the captain will handle this!"

"Hehe, okay, then I'll trouble you, Captain. I'll go find my sister first, since I'm just a nominal member."

Li Qingping exclaimed "Huh?" before realizing that it was just a nominal position...

Well, at least it's a step forward. Even Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times back then.

As Li Qingping watched Ling Yi's retreating figure, he pondered these thoughts.

As they passed Zhang Qiang, Zhang Qiang pulled Ling Yi aside and said:

"How about I come with you?"

Ling Yi thought for a moment. She wasn't familiar with Zhang Qiang and Li Qingping, and it would probably be awkward to leave them here.

So he agreed, saying, "Okay, let's go together."

In fact, after learning from the Tibetan Mastiff that he had not succeeded, Ling Yi felt a little relieved.

Only after confirming it with our own eyes can it be fully implemented.

As they walked, Zhang Qiang hesitated before asking Ling Yi, "Are you really going to join Captain Li's team?"

Although Zhang Qiang was oblivious, he had overheard their conversation clearly.

Ling Yi thought for a moment and said seriously:

"It's fine to just lend your name, since missions are usually carried out in small teams."

After this game, Ling Yi could see that the members of Li Qingping's team were all quite good.

Captain Li Qingping is a veteran, and his strength goes without saying. The most important thing is that he is reliable and can be the pillar of the team.

Tang Yuebai and Du Hengbo are the core players, while Liu Hao represents the future of the team.

If Ling Yi is added, this team will have the ability to "explore".

However, there is one more problem before that.

He looked at Zhang Qiang and said sincerely:

"Qiangzi, why don't you come with me? It's better to be in a fixed team than to play random matches."

Ling Yi was thinking that now that he had joined the team, Zhang Qiang was left all alone, and he felt a sense of abandonment...

Zhang Qiang was also a little embarrassed and said, "Well... Captain Li didn't say anything. What if they don't accept it later?"

Ling Yi slapped Zhang Qiang on the back, and with a loud crack, instantly straightened his hunched back.

"You're acting all coy like a little girl. Just tell me, are you coming or not?"

Zhang Qiang grinned and inhaled sharply:

"Damn it, I didn't say I wasn't coming! If you can come, why can't I? I have to come!"

"Hehe, that's right. I'll handle things with Li Qingping. You just wait."

Zhang Qiang didn't listen; his mind was preoccupied with another issue:

"Why are you so strong? It hurts so much..."

"Only people with kidney deficiency experience pain."

"That's weird, my back feels itchy, did I get bitten by a mosquito...?"

The two chatted about this and that until they arrived at Ling Miaomiao's grade.

Just then, Ling Miaomiao arrived at the classroom door and immediately saw two men patting each other on the back.

"elder brother?"

Ling Miaomiao was full of questions. Why was her older brother here?

Seeing that Ling Miaomiao was safe and sound, Ling Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took two steps forward, causing Zhang Qiang's palm strike to miss its mark.

"Haha, Miaomiao..."

Ling Yi didn't continue speaking because he saw Ling Miaomiao stretch out a hand to block his way, making a gesture that indicated "no way forward."

Ling Miaomiao asked with a serious expression, "What are you doing here?"

She couldn't help but think of that player; could it be that her older brother was also...?

Ling Yi took out the prepared explanation and said:

"Hey, I locked myself in the house and can't open the door. Don't you have a spare key here... haha."

The explanation was clumsy yet reasonably plausible, but the key point was that Ling Miaomiao believed it.

When the answer received is not the bad answer they had in mind, people are generally more willing to believe it.

It's good that you're not a player...

Normally, Ling Miaomiao would definitely have retorted, but now she just felt relieved.

"You just wait..."

Ling Miaomiao ran into the classroom, rummaged through her schoolbag and pulled out a bunch of keys with a cute Hello Kitty standee on them.

She handed it to Ling Yi and said decisively, "Here, you can go now!"

Ok?

Ling Yi was pushed away with a hint of doubt; she had a feeling that this girl was acting strangely today…

As he passed Zhang Qiang, he greeted him, "Little Miaomiao..."

What I got in return was a sharp look and a cold remark: "You leave too!"

The two only came to their senses after they went outside. Zhang Qiang scratched his head in confusion and muttered to himself:

"Miaomiao used to be so cute, why has she become so fierce now? Are all girls like this?"

Ling Yi deeply agreed.

After returning to her seat, Ling Miaomiao felt somewhat relieved, thinking that it was fortunate her brother wasn't a player.

As the chosen one, she naturally knew how dangerous and uncertain the chase game was for the players.

Having one chosen one in the family is enough...

"Miaomiao, were those two boys your brothers? What did they want with you?"

The girl next to her turned around and asked her.

Ling Miaomiao adjusted her mindset and replied with a smile, "One is yes, and the other is my brother's friend who came to pick up something from me."

"Wow, is it that gentle and sunny type? I'm so jealous that you have such a handsome older brother..."

She couldn't answer that question, and her lips twitched slightly.

Where is the gentleness?

Where is the sunlight?

Where is the handsomeness?

Ling Miaomiao asked herself three deadly questions: Do these three adjectives have anything to do with her brother?

At this point, another girl joined the discussion.

"I think that athletic guy is really handsome too, he looks like he has a great physique..."

"..."

Ling Miaomiao simply couldn't participate in this discussion. Just thinking about how those two people were in private, and listening to her friends' conversation, made her want to laugh...

Ling Yi downstairs sneezed, thinking to herself that Ling Miaomiao must be talking badly about her.

Zhang Qiang, standing to the side, suddenly brightened up and immediately retorted:

"Only people with kidney deficiency sneeze... ah... ah-choo!"

Upon seeing this, Ling Yi chuckled:

"Are you talking about yourself, you man with kidney deficiency?"

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened in disbelief, and then he sneezed again!

Could it be that I really am...?
