All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"Yes!"

After a chorus of replies, everyone immediately opened rooms in the arena.

Lin Qiu glanced at the crowd in front of him, then opened the room creation interface and asked a question—

Who wants to go first? Which map do you want to choose?

"I'll go first, I'll choose Lost City as the map."

"Whoa-"

Lin Qiu raised an eyebrow, looking at Bai Ya with great surprise.

This is one of the few arena maps where I have a perfect record; even Yunmo lost to me here.

This guy is really brave!

"Alright, since it's educational, the time limit will be unlimited."

"no problem."

After confirming that Bai Ya was alright, Lin Qiu casually turned on the option to disable spectating.

Some things are more exciting if kept secret...

244 - I anticipated your prediction

"Countdown, ten, nine, eight..."

"Should we teach while we play, or...?"

As the countdown to the duel began, before Bai Ya could even ask any questions, Lin Qiu had already vanished from sight.

Even without any reply, looking at the dilapidated ancient walls and ruins that blocked her view, she instinctively sensed an ominous aura.

Did I accidentally step into a trap?

【The duel begins】

The moment the countdown ended, Bai Ya's figure swiftly swept away into the distance, not daring to linger in place for even a moment.

Against these expert players, standing still at the start of the game is tantamount to suicide!

Just as she moved swiftly, Lin Qiu on the other side also skillfully began his own digging project.

As they moved and stopped, the blue bar dropped at an alarming rate.

This time, however, he didn't pile the various traps together; instead, he scattered them in various places, albeit in slightly unusual locations...

After clearing the blue bar once, Lin Qiu stopped in his tracks with satisfaction, looking in a certain direction with a strange expression.

As if he had heard some noise, he suddenly kicked the wall hard.

Bang! !

The sound wasn't loud, but it was enough to reach Bai Ya's ears as she searched nearby.

Her gaze was fixed on the source of the sound, but she didn't rush over immediately. Instead, she deliberately slowed down and went around to the side.

Since there's no time limit for this duel, it's best to be cautious until we figure out Lin Qiu's style!

Lin Qiu wasn't surprised to hear the footsteps gradually fading away, which were deliberately suppressed. Instead, he stomped his feet and ran in the opposite direction.

That guy found me!

Upon realizing this, Bai Ya stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Was this guy really that vigilant?

"He fled towards a more complex central area. We can't follow his route; there might be traps."

Bai Ya pondered for a moment, and eventually even stopped walking.

Listening intently to Lin Qiu's heavy footsteps, a chilling black mist gradually emanated from her arm, eventually condensing into a strange black spear.

The moment he anticipated Lin Qiu's location, the black spear shot out instantly.

The Demon Hunter's Gun

boom! ! !

The wall blocking their path was instantly shattered by the black gun, its speed so great it seemed to pierce through the void.

As Lin Qiu fled, he seemed completely unprepared for this sudden attack. The black gun easily pierced through his body, even pinning him to the wall behind him.

"Got it? No, that's not right."

Bai Ya's heart sank slightly. As she looked around, Lin Qiu's body slowly disappeared like a phantom.

Before she could react, a strange feeling of weightlessness suddenly came from her feet, and she was suddenly lifted into the air.

As if noticing something, he quickly turned his head and saw that Lin Qiu had appeared in another location, floating up just like him.

Seeing the strange look on this guy's face, Bai Ya's heart tightened, but under control, her skill bar was completely blacked out.

The next second, in the blink of an eye, their positions had been switched.

Click!

As soon as Bai Ya landed, a strange, soft sound suddenly came from beneath his feet, and a black magic circle shrouded in ghostly energy immediately unfolded in front of him.

Alarm bells rang in her mind, and Bai Ya instinctively pulled away and retreated.

Unexpectedly, a gift box suddenly emerged from the magic circle, followed by a comical smile that made her expression freeze.

A cover-up?!

As if realizing something, Bai Ya quickly looked down at her feet.

Three magic arrays, gleaming with deadly light, appeared beneath her feet. Crimson chains instantly bound her feet tightly, while the accompanying flames gradually eroded her health.

At the same time, a dozen spears slowly emerged from the void, their target pointing directly at Bai Ya in the center.

With Lin Qiu pointing from afar—

Boom boom boom! ! !

The spears shot down in a burst, instantly turning Bai Ya's body into a hedgehog.

Unexpectedly, her figure slowly disappeared just like Lin Qiu's before, and when she reappeared, she was already three meters away.

only......

"Click!"

The familiar sound of stepping on a trap rang out again, and Bai Ya's eyelids twitched violently.

Looking at the three precisely laid traps at her feet, her heart sank. Before she could even muster the thought of resistance, she was trapped and died in the pile of stones.

This guy, did he plan his escape route perfectly?!

However, I also had some predictions that...

Bai Ya subconsciously glanced at Lin Qiu, but instead of the scene she had imagined—Lin Qiu being captured by her own trap—she saw only a small, sewn doll being tormented and played with by countless vines.

What about people?

Looking in the direction where Lin Qiu disappeared, Bai Ya was slightly startled. Before she could resist, a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.

"It was originally meant to be used to bully Sawaori, but I'll try it out on you first."

Lin Qiu's playful teasing voice drifted slowly from behind, startling her so much that her whole body stiffened.

Under her horrified gaze, a pitch-black crack appeared out of nowhere in front of her, emanating a strange attraction that instantly sucked Bai Ya into the mound of earth and made her disappear without a trace.

Just a few seconds later, under Lin Qiu's gloating gaze, Bai Ya's figure appeared high in the sky.

However, before she could even land, another crack appeared and swallowed her up...

"Let the medical staff stay at the hotel tonight; it feels like someone's going to die."

Looking at the battle situation displayed on the wall projection screen, Tang Feilin sighed with worry.

Although Lin Qiu is laughing extremely arrogantly now, he'll probably suffer a terrible death after he logs off.

Even with the suppression of her heart, Baiya should still have a way to deal with it.

"But if I hadn't borrowed an external display device from Qi Xi, I wouldn't have been able to watch the game even if Lin Qiu had turned off spectator mode. Is he planning to just keep burying us one by one?"

Looking at the security personnel waiting outside the arena, completely unaware of what was happening, a hint of sympathy flashed in Tang Feilin's eyes.

Despite his sympathy, Lin Qiu would not reveal his tactics.

These guys always need some setbacks to grow, even if those setbacks are like sinkholes...

While Tang Feilin was watching the drama unfold, Bai Ya in the game couldn't help but want to curse.

After stepping into the first trap, I haven't been able to move.

Even though he had several crowd control removal skills prepared, he was completely fooled by the traps that Lin Qiu had prepared in advance.

Now......

Looking at the numerous traps stretching from the ground to the sky, showing no signs of ending, Bai Ya's eyes lost their luster...

245 - The Suffering Path of the Security Department

When Bai Ya came out of the arena, she looked completely dazed.

With a numb expression, he glanced back at the magnificent arena, the image of Lin Qiu's ruthless figure still vivid in his mind.

From beginning to end, he didn't even manage to touch that guy once, and was instead trapped and killed by a series of traps.

For the first time since I started playing games, I've experienced that indescribable feeling of powerlessness.

Now I finally understand why Tang Feilin kept reminding herself to be careful of danger...

Is this even a tactic a human could execute?!

"Ahem—You've worked hard. To be honest, Baiya, you're quite cautious, much better than the newcomers who are either timid or reckless from the start. You know how to make judgments, but you're still a little bit lacking."

At that moment, Lin Qiu's voice drifted over slowly.

Although he tried to restrain himself, one could still sense a hint of schadenfreude in his words.

Snapped!

Bai Ya's forehead veins were bulging wildly; she wished she could log off right now, grab Lin Qiu, and give him a good beating.

That bastard, we have to find a way to get rid of him!

Just as she was gritting her teeth, her teammates, who had been waiting outside for a long time, unknowingly surrounded her—

"How was it, Captain? A good haul?"

"You guys have been fighting for a long time. Everyone else has already gone through several rounds. The battle must be very intense."

"It must be. With the captain being so powerful, it's no surprise that he's been locked in a stalemate with Lin Qiu for so long."

"After this encounter, Captain should be able to beat Lin Qiu next time, right?"

"..."

Feeling the expectation in her teammates' words, Bai Ya's lips twitched.

He wanted to explain something to them, but the thought of being ravaged and played with without any resistance made all his words get stuck in his throat.

If this gets out, my authority as captain will be gone!

"It's...not bad, Lin Qiu's strength is quite good."

Bai Ya, unusually, lied to her teammates, her gaze drifting away unnaturally.

We must not be the only ones who suffer!

"I'll be next!"

"Hey—I wanted to go first, this is my kind of food."

"Who isn't? Get in line!"

......

Seeing that these guys were completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Bai Ya couldn't help but feel a strange urge to see them tortured.

Will they still be able to laugh later?
