NOVEL NEXT Chapter 53
Xue Ziyi didn’t know where he got the strength from, but he rushed past them and ran to the front, suddenly pressing his finger on the red dot!
Immediately afterward, [Beep——]
The system prompt: [Rest point selection successful, Yiliang Manor, transmission starts…]
Then, the surrounding scene changed, and those who were in the dazzling white light had to close their eyes.
Yu Qing’s strength recovered a little, and before closing his eyes, he saw Xue Ziyi’s… overly complacent smile.
.
Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong.
As soon as he landed, the sound of the live broadcast bullet screen made him anxious, and there were people talking around him. It should have been the rest point where players gathered.
His eyelashes flickered twice, and Yu Qing opened his eyes to find himself on a bright and spacious European-style street.
Various small Western-style buildings were arranged in a staggered manner, and shops were scattered everywhere. Before he could react, a skull with blood oozing from its eye sockets suddenly appeared in front of him!
The skull had no body, but its neck was stretched out very long, and the whole skeleton was almost stuck to his face.
Seeing him stunned, the mouth of the pile of bones seemed to curve into a weird arc as it succeeded in scaring him and began to laugh, “chuckle.”
“Dear guest, welcome to Yi…” Boom–
Before it could finish, Yu Qing tore the whole head off the endlessly extended neck, and then, bang–
He kicked it into the garbage dump, where it laid, coughing non-stop.
Without a neck, the skull couldn’t move, so it leaned against the garbage, watching the boy slap its helpless neck away with his eyes: “You are so rude to scare people at the rest stop.”
“…”
“Crackle, crackle, crackle.” The skull gritted its teeth unwillingly. It had been placed at the gate of Yiliang Manor just to scare people!
It was so fun to welcome new hosts every day and see them being scared to death by it!
Today… why did it end before it even started to scare people?
“Ahem… Ugh! It stinks!”
‘Who can pick me up? Ahhh!’
The footsteps continued to move forward, and no one cared about the skull’s feelings. However, when Yu Qing closed his eyes, he noticed that Xue Ziyi’s expression was visibly lost for a moment.
But he still said: “You two, is this your first time at the rest point? Let me introduce you. This place is fully equipped. You don’t need to break through any levels. It is no different from human society. It is just for hosts to rest.”
“Three minutes after entering the rest point, the live broadcast room will automatically close. Say goodbye to the audience. I will take you to find our boss.”
After the voice fell, Xue Ziyi was completely free of the embarrassment from the dungeon. He looked like a master, showing off his power in front of the two.
In the live broadcast room, some brainless fans even excitedly said goodbye: [Wuwuwu, Ziyi, see you in the next dungeon~]
[Our Ziyi is too kind. These two newcomers are obviously so hostile to you, but you still take care of them! Ziyi, you deserve this!!! (Reward points +1000)]
Behind him, Qian Lai clenched his fists and couldn’t help but step forward: “Who are you? Why do we have to go see your…”
However, before he finished speaking, Yu Qing raised his hand to stop him.
The young man halted Qian Lai, and his eyes fell on his live broadcast room. A bunch of farewell bullet screens were interspersed with several key messages.
[Be careful, my dear. Xue Ziyi brought you here for a purpose. He claims that his boss is Xie Yiliang, the most powerful host.]
[Yes, yes, yes, all the rest points in the game are controlled by the official NPCs, but Xie Yiliang killed through this rest point and changed its name to “Yiliang Manor”. All hosts, big and small, respect him as a god, “Liang Shen”!]
[I really don’t understand why Xie Yiliang would need such a useless subordinate like Xue Ziyi. Anyway, be careful, my dear. No one can beat Xie Yiliang’s record.]
[Beep——]
[The live broadcast is closed. Please take a good rest and enter the next dungeon as soon as possible.]
The live broadcast went black after collecting a few pieces of information.
Yu Qing relaxed slightly, patted Qian Lai on the shoulder twice, and then took the lead, following obediently: “Thank you, Brother Xue.”
Brother Xue…?
Yu Qing called him brother???
“Hahaha.” The sudden respect strengthened Xue Ziyi’s confidence. Sure enough, the title of the boss still worked!
So, what if Yu Qing was powerful? This wasn’t in the dungeon. Even if he told these two idiots that he deliberately hurt them, they wouldn’t dare do anything~
Thinking this, Xue Ziyi walked on and voiced all his thoughts.
“Actually, I reported you two to the dean about going to look for the dream core. I just wanted you to die, but you didn’t. What a pity, hahaha!”
“And Yu Qing, Yu Qing.”
The man smiled and said, “I’m fed up with your self-righteous look. I was the one who locked the door when you were in the dean’s office.”
“I locked the door so that the bloody woman could kill you, but you’re still alive. We can say that we don’t know each other anymore, right?”
Beside him, Qian Lai clenched his fists tightly, but Yu Qing seemed unaffected.
The sticky thing on his body was turning cold.
‘I want to take a hot bath…’
The boy had a severe backache and walked slowly, but he still smiled and replied, “Yes, we didn’t know each other until we fought. I also want to meet your boss.”
“Hahaha, come on, I’ll take you there, but my boss’s level isn’t something you can just reach casually. If he doesn’t want to see you, don’t cry, hahahaha!”
The man’s laughter grew more and more rampant, and soon, the three of them arrived in front of an exquisite white castle.
The castle had a total of five floors. It wasn’t high, but the architecture was complex, the layout warm, and sunflowers were planted everywhere.
There were many bodyguards with guns guarding the area. As soon as they arrived, Xue Ziyi’s back bent noticeably, and he looked like a nodding and bowing dog.
Upon reaching the door, he walked forward with a smile and gave each of the bodyguards 1,000 points before they were willing to go in and find someone to come out.
The man who emerged had dark skin, was somewhat strong, and wore an eye patch over his left eye. He heard Xue Ziyi mutter something, then unceremoniously accepted all the points Xue Ziyi had earned in the dungeon.
He took two steps forward, his eyes falling on Yu Qing and Qian Lai.
The one-eyed man stood tall, his only remaining eye scanning them with contempt. After a while, he asked, “Are you two targeting my little brother?”
The situation was tense.
Qian Lai’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and he was just thinking about how to get out of this situation when he heard Yu Qing calmly reply, “Yes.”
“Hahaha.” The one-eyed man laughed. “This little brother is quite arrogant and has courage. How about this: you give me all the points you earned from the level-breaking, and I’ll spare your lives. How about that?”
A deep sense of oppression washed over them, but Yu Qing remained calm and replied lightly, “Sorry, no.”
“…” Very polite, very irritating.
The one-eyed man’s face froze; it was clear this was the first time he had been rejected so clearly. He turned to look at Xue Ziyi. “You bastard, didn’t you say these two came to surrender voluntarily?”
In order to gain merit, Xue Ziyi had lied without thinking, and he was scared into submission!
This one-eyed man was a sharpshooter under Xie Yiliang. All the bodyguards obeyed his orders. He thought Yu Qing would be scared into surrendering, but…
“Boss… that…” Xue Ziyi’s legs began to tremble. “The new guy is ignorant. Let me teach him a lesson. Wait for me.”
As he said this, he walked to Yu Qing’s side in a few steps under the scrutinizing gaze of the one-eyed man. He lowered his voice and was about to scold him when he heard Yu Qing ask, “Is that your boss?”
Xue Ziyi: “…Yes.”
He tried to open his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Yu Qing ask the one-eyed man, “Is this your subordinate?”
The one-eyed man didn’t reply. As soon as the corner of his mouth curled up, he heard a “hiss” sound.
Yu Qing had taken out a knife from somewhere and stabbed Xue Ziyi in the heart in front of everyone!
