Chapter 141

The werewolf’s hind legs pushed off the ground and her body jumped into the air. Like a bomb, she slammed into the ground and caused a huge hole. She was huge like a giant but she wasn’t clumsy. Her speed was also amazing. In the s.p.a.cious yard, the werewolf mother ran while her sharp claws continued to stab at Tang Mo.

One human and one wolf ran through the yard, forming two shadows.

The goal of the werewolf was Tang Mo. The remaining three players naturally avoided them and didn’t intend to help.

Tang Mo had long guessed that the werewolf was strong enough to easily kill the players, but he never imagined it was this strong. There wasn’t the horrible sense of oppression that Grandmother Wolf and Santa Claus gave off but she wasn’t much worse than them.

Tang Mo dodged while putting his hand in his pocket, wanting to draw a S. However, the werewolf didn’t give him a chance to breathe. At first, his hand could still reach into his pocket. Later, he couldn’t even do this and could only try to escape.

The werewolf jumped into the air, her big body blocking the sun as she roared towards Tang Mo.

Tang Mo rolled on the ground and the werewolf waved her claws. Tang Mo’s eyes were cold as he placed his hands on his waist. “Return my grandfather!” Flames emerged from his mouth, catching the werewolf off guard. The fire spread and the werewolf initially avoided it. Then once she sensed the temperature of the flames, she sneered and drew a mace hanging from her waist.

“You humans, you can use these tricks but don’t know how to teach!”

The werewolf held the mace and spun it. The black mace spun very quickly, forming a circular s.h.i.+eld. The werewolf gave a sinister laugh as she spun the mace while approaching Tang Mo. On the surface, it looked like the werewolf had found a way to resist the flames. She just needed to approach Tang Mo and she could grab him. However, in the moment when the werewolf relaxed her vigilance, Tang Mo ran away and the flames disappeared.

The werewolf was still spinning her mace when the flames suddenly dissipated. She was stunned, creating a gap of three seconds. Tang Mo took this opportunity to run while reaching into his pocket and drawing a shake S on the violently shaking turkey egg.

In an instant, a white light flashed on the turkey egg.

Tang Mo sighed with relief and turned to meet the werewolf’s attack again. Unexpected, the werewolf just stared after him before suddenly turning to Lin Qianxi, her sharp teeth dripping with saliva. “Hey, look around. Do you think I won’t eat you? You human woman, you have fine flesh… why didn’t you teach that d.a.m.n girl to read?”

Lin Qianxi’s eyes widened as the werewolf smashed down with her mace. The baffled Lin Qianxi avoided it but her right arm was. .h.i.t and ended up in a distorted posture.

“Useless tutor, I’m going to eat you!”

The situation suddenly changed. The werewolf no longer chased Tang Mo but chased the young woman, constantly attacking her with the mace. Lin Qianxi’s strength was the worst of the four. After two minutes, she was covered in injuries. The werewolf caught her mistake and waved the mace at Lin Qianxi’s head. Lin Qianxi was pale as she threw out a white porcelain doll from her pocket.

The mace hit Lin Qianxi’s head, creating the terrible sound of bones breaking. Lin Qianxi spat out blood and her whole body flew backwards. Lin Qianxi’s head was bleeding but she didn’t die. She immediately got up after falling to the ground and fled. Meanwhile, the white porcelain doll was broken.

The werewolf wasn’t surprised as she cruelly stepped on the porcelain fragments.

Once Lin Qianxi ran towards Liu Wansheng and Bai Ruoyao, the werewolf changed targets again and hit Liu Wansheng.

In the yard, the little girl was trapped in the middle of the board, staring pitifully as her mother played with the fur human monkeys. After teasing Liu Wansheng, the werewolf attacked Bai Ruoyao. Among the four players, only Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao had the strength to handle the werewolf. She attacked the werewolf for the shortest amount of time. After only one minute, the werewolf suddenly stopped her actions. Her gigantic wolf’s mouth moved and her voice was hoa.r.s.e. “Hmm? This smell…”

Mosaic also sniffed.

Tang Mo stood in the corner of the yard, staring warily at the werewolf who had suddenly stopped. Then he smelled the scent filling the air. “…The smell of roasted turkey?”

The werewolf’s green eyes moved and she smiled. “There isn’t enough time. The funeral is about to begin. Whoever it is, their turkey is mine now. Hahaha…” The werewolf hung her mace at her waist again and ran out of Peking University’s gates.

As soon as she left, the black tower spoke.

“Ding dong! In the fifth round, players can step forward five grids.

Please return to your grid and wait for the fifth round to begin.”

Everything was no different from before. As if the werewolf hadn’t appeared, the black tower coldly asked the players to start the game.

Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao were okay without any damages. There were only a few bruises from when they were chased by the werewolf and they were now fully healed. The situation of Liu Wansheng and Lin Qianxi was a bit bad. The two people had many injuries and the bricks on the ground were stained with their blood. In particular, Lin Qianxi’s right arm was completely broken. At this moment, her hand was completely hanging down, unable to move.

But no one had time to take care of their injuries.

“I don’t know when the werewolf will come back. According to common sense, she went to a friend’s funeral and should come back after the funeral. However, she suddenly came back, saying that she forgot to bring a sacrifice. Maybe next time she will forget something and suddenly come back again.” Liu Wansheng quickly a.n.a.lyzed once the blue light film descended again.  He was about to say his conjecture when a cool male voice was heard.

“She will definitely come back a second time. The ending of this game is either the players will clear it or the players will be killed by the werewolf.” Tang Mo’s speed was fast and he didn’t give Liu Wansheng the opportunity to speak as he said directly, “Her forgetting to bring the sacrifice is for only one reason. It is to consume the player’s physical strength while giving them a sense of time pressure. If the four players partic.i.p.ating in the game are stagnant and refuse to make a decision quickly to clear the game, her arrival will make the players face this problem and even show excessive behaviours.”

Liu Wansheng asked, “Excessive behaviours?”

“The four players partic.i.p.ating in the game will know from the past four rounds that they have to eliminate players to clear the game. Still, they won’t directly say such words. Then the werewolf arrived and told players that they can be killed by the werewolf at any time. The many things they wanted to do before, they have to do it now. If this was a normal game, someone will die at the end of the next round.”

Liu Wansheng’s heart became cold. “You mean, he… the psychopath is going to kill someone?”

Tang Mo looked at him coldly. “He has long wanted to kill you.”

Liu Wansheng was silent.

Indeed, Bai Ruoyao wanted to kill him a long time ago. If it wasn’t for Tang Mo, Liu Wansheng would already be dead.

The easiest way to clear the game was to eliminate your opponent. Kill the opponent and only you and your teammate would be left on the field. It would be easy to win a game.

However, Tang Mo didn’t do this and he wouldn’t allow Bai Ruoyao to do so.

Tang Mo looked up and found that Bai Ruoyao was staring at himself and Liu Wansheng. Bai Ruoyao saw this and waved at him. Tang Mo turned away, his expression a bit ugly.

Liu Wansheng thought that Tang Mo felt this situation wasn’t good and that he was worried about the werewolf coming back. Liu Wansheng said, “This won’t work. The four of us will have to work together. That is the best way to clear the game.”

Tang Mo looked at him with certainty. “Impossible.”

Liu Wansheng was surprised. “You don’t agree to cooperate?” He thought that Tang Mo would definitely agree.

Tang Mo explained, “Before the werewolf appeared, we still had the opportunity to cooperate. After the werewolf appeared, he won’t agree to cooperate.” Tang Mo pointed to the baby-faced youth standing opposite him. Bai Ruoyao didn’t know what they were talking about but he smiled brightly in the suns.h.i.+ne. It was a bad smile, as if he was confirming Tang Mo’s ‘refusal to cooperate.’

Liu Wansheng was puzzled. “Why?”

“Why?” Liu Wansheng didn’t notice that the previous calm Tang Mo who rarely spoke was now suddenly speaking a lot. Tang Mo spoke quickly, “It is because the next time the werewolf comes out, the most likely to die is that woman and then you. Then it will be me. He is the only one who can’t die.”

Tang Mo’s words filled Liu Wansheng’s mind. He constantly thought about the meaning of this sentence before his eyes suddenly widened. “Wait, the priority?”

Tang Mo didn’t speak.

Yes, the priority.

Just now, the werewolf had come back for 10 minutes. At the beginning, she rebuked the little girl for not reading and suddenly left. In those 10 minutes, she attacked Tang Mo, Lin Qianxi, Liu Wansheng and then Bai Ruoyao. If a normal person was being chased by the werewolf, they wouldn’t be in the mood to calculate who long they were pursued and how long the others were pursued. However, Tang Mo had calculated this time in his heart.

The werewolf chased him for four minutes before changing targets.

Lin Qianxi was three minutes, Liu Wansheng was two minutes and Bai Ruoyao was one minute.

Due to the priority order, Bai Ruoyao was the first to move and Tang Mo was the last. This priority was obviously friendlier to Tang Mo and disadvantageous to Bai Ruoyao, who had the higher priority. It was only now that the real appearance of the priority order was revealed.

It wasn’t the priority of moving but the priority of being hunted by the werewolf.

In this game, Bai Ruoyao was the least likely to die and Tang Mo was the most likely.

If the four players had the same strength, the order of death would be the same as the order of priority and Bai Ruoyao would live to the end. Tang Mo’s hands were in his pockets while his right hand gently rubbed the glowing turkey egg.  No one knew that a voice from the other side was ringing in his mind.

Violent fighting sounds constantly filled Tang Mo’s ears, along with the voices of Xiao Fu, a strange middle-aged man and Fu Wenduo’s occasional responses.  This was all Tang Mo could hear.

After he opened the archiver, Fu Wenduo didn’t speak to him again and there seemed to be a very intense battle.

Tang Mo silently listened to the sounds in his mind, his fingers around the turkey egg gradually tightening. Finally, he gripped the turkey egg hard, closed his eyes, sighed with relief and slowly opened his eyes.

…He was almost affected by the situation over there.

It was his teammate, Fu Wenduo…

It was Victor.

After the earth went online, Tang Mo’s physical and psychological qualities improved and he almost forgot what panic felt like. This time, he felt panic for the first time in ages. It wasn’t because of himself but Fu Wenduo’s tower attack game. He was here and the only thing he could do for Fu Wenduo was to open the archiver. He wanted to end this reality instance quickly and make time to understand the situation over there.

Tang Mo’s eyes became determined.

According to the black tower’s habit, the werewolf would definitely come back a second time. The second time would definitely be more difficult than the first. It was likely that the time she took to chase the players would multiply.

The blue light film dissipated and 20 items slowly appeared on the board.

Tang Mo suddenly opened his mouth, “Bai Ruoyao, do you want to cooperate?”

Liu Wansheng looked at Tang Mo strangely. Just now, Tang Mo said that the psychopath definitely wouldn’t agree to cooperate. Why was he asking now?

Bai Ruoyao grinned. “Cooperate? Tang Tang, are you begging me?”

Sure enough, he wouldn’t cooperate.

After Liu Wansheng understood the real priority order, he looked at the disdainful smile on the baby-faced youth’s face and his heart became cold. Of the four players, Bai Ruoyao would definitely be the last to die. Therefore, he wouldn’t cooperate with anyone. They had to beg Bai Ruoyao to let him cooperate.

Tang Mo didn’t reply to Bai Ruoyao’s question.

Liu Wansheng thought that Tang Mo would tell the young woman that she would be the first to die if the werewolf came back. Yet Tang Mo didn’t speak. Liu Wansheng felt strange but Tang Mo looked at him. He immediately closed his mouth and didn’t dare say anything.

The atmosphere between the players was a bit strange.

Mosaic lay on the table and looked at the four humans. She snorted and whispered, “Why are they different from previous humans…”

No one answered her question.

All 20 items were revealed and there was only one book on the board.

The black tower gave the prompt and the players silently walked to their grids, still failing. Once this round was over and the black tower asked players to return to their grids, Mosaic sat up with excitement. She was clearly waiting for them to kill each other. However, the humans didn’t fight and just quietly stood at their own grids.

Mosaic’s smile froze. She waited for a few seconds to make sure that these players really weren’t going to kill each other and then lowered her face to the table in a depressed manner.

Tang Mo glanced at her, thinking quickly while listening to the sounds in his head.

In general, players wouldn’t kill each other so quickly. Normal players would only decide to kill the enemy after the werewolf appeared. Bai Ruoyao was an exception. He wanted to kill Liu Wansheng in advance. Bai Ruoyao brought this time forward so they didn’t try to kill each other now. In addition, Bai Ruoyao had the highest priority. Even if Tang Mo died, he was sure to live. Thus, he wouldn’t do such boring things. As long as he didn’t do anything, no one else would act.

Once the soundproof film lowered, Liu Wansheng was in a bad mood. “d.a.m.n, are we just going to continue this way and wait for the next time that the werewolf appears?” Lin Qianxi’s strength was the weakest but Liu Wansheng’s strength wasn’t high. He had a hunch that next time the werewolf came, he could survive with Lin Qianxi.  However the third time that the werewolf came back, Lin Qianxi would sure die and he would die as well.

What could he do?

How to break this deadlock?

Liu Wansheng regretted for the first time telling the other team to beg for cooperation. If he had agreed to cooperate at the beginning, perhaps they would’ve already cooperated to clear the instance.

“I’ve played several black tower games. The black tower tends to let players work together and not kill each other.” After all, Liu Wansheng had cleared a black tower floor and had a certain understanding of black tower games. “Tang… Tang Mo, we really have to cooperate in order to clear the game. You and the psychopath seem to know each other. If you talk to him… will he be willing to cooperate?”

Silence answered him.

Liu Wansheng turned his head. “Tang Mo.”

Tang Mo closed his eyes as the fighting in his mind suddenly stopped. Tang Mo held his breath and waited patiently for any sounds from over there. After half a minute, a low male voice sounded gently in his ears. “It is nothing, Tang Mo.”

Tang Mo sighed with relief.

“What happened?”

In front of a huge gla.s.s mountain, Fu Wenduo and a middle-aged man sat down against the mountain wall. Fu Wensheng directly placed his hands on Fu Wenduo’s arm and spring water gushed out, covering the b.l.o.o.d.y wounds. Tang Mo would never think that from Fu Wenduo’s casual voice, his right arm would actually have a shocking bite wound. His neck also had a trace of a beast biting it, like his neck was almost bitten off.

Fu Wensheng’s healing ability combined with Fu Wenduo’s genetic recombinant meant that Fu Wenduo’s pale face gradually returned to normal.

Once the wound on his neck was completely healed, Fu Wenduo spoke, “I just encountered a few powerful black tower monsters. Now it’s fine. How are things on your side?”

“Bai Ruoyao followed me into the reality instance.”

Fu Wenduo frowned slightly, “He also went in?”

“It doesn’t matter. He and I aren’t on the same team so him messing up won’t cause too much trouble. What’s going on with you? The third floor shouldn’t be so difficult.”

With Fu Wenduo’s strength, he could already pa.s.s the black tower’s third floor. Therefore, Tang Mo wasn’t to worried when he and Fu Wensheng went to challenge the tower attack game and didn’t give them the King’s Gold Coin. How come it was serious enough to open the archiver?

The flesh on Fu Wenduo’s arm grew at a rate visible to the naked eye and the feeling of the newborn limb wasn’t very pleasant. Fu Wenduo frowned and leaned against the gla.s.s mountain. He calculated the time in his heart and just as Tang Mo was about to speak again, he said, “I think that Xiao Sheng accidentally opened the hard mode.”

Tang Mo was surprised. “The third floor’s hard mode?”

“This time, the way to clear the tower attack game was very vague. We had two team more team members, so a total of four people attacked the tower. I am on the third floor and they are on the second floor like Xiao Sheng. There was a bit of trouble after the game started. One person died and Xiao Sheng killed an underground person to save our lives.” Fu Wenduo’s arm had completely grown out. He moved it while continuing, “A minute ago, he used a prop that he got after clearing the Gem Corridor with you.”

Tang Mo asked, “The moon flower?”

“Yes. He used the prop to see how we should clear the instance. Then he found that in order to clear the instance, we needed the help of the dead underground person to open a cave.”

It was a predicament that he hadn’t encountered before but Fu Wenduo didn’t sound nervous. “It seems that now we can’t clear the instance using an ordinary method. We can only choose a second way to clear the instance. At the moment, we haven’t found another way to clear the instance but any black tower game must have more than one way to clear it.”

The simple way was the normal mode.

The difficult way was the hard mode.

That’s why Fu Wenduo said they should’ve opened the hard mode of the tower attack game.

However, his words suddenly made Tang Mo fall silent.

Fu Wenduo was keenly away of Tang Mo’s strangeness and whispered, “Tang Mo?”

“…Any black tower game, there must be more than one way to clear it?”

Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows.

Tang Mo sighed and smiled helplessly. “The reality instance I encountered this time isn’t difficult but it is very torturous. I will tell you when you get back. It is actually very simple.”

“Okay.”

The archiver had been open for 20 minutes and there were still 40 minutes left. Neither of them planned to shut down the archiver. One, it would avoid any incidents with Fu Wenduo again. Two, Tang Mo didn’t want to close the turkey egg. He didn’t know what Fu Wenduo was thinking but Tang Mo didn’t want to shut it down. Fu Wenduo didn’t mention it so he wouldn’t mention it.

“In any case, it seems that I can say something in advance.” The man whispered, his voice sounding magnetic.

Tang Mo didn’t react for a moment. “What is it?”

Fu Wenduo enunciated each word. “…Mo Tang, good job.”

Tang Mo’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. He had seen this sentence on the computer countless times but this was the first time the person was personally saying it. Tang Mo’s eyes widened and an indescribable feeling overflowed in his chest. After a long time, he laughed and whispered, “Then you also have to do a good job… Victor.”

Under the towering gla.s.s mountain, the tall and handsome man couldn’t help smiling.

Fu Wensheng was terrified. “Brother, you… why are you smiling?”

Fu Wenduo immediately stopped smiling as he glanced at this silly brother. “You saw wrongly.”

Fu Wensheng, “…???”

‘No, you were so happy that your eyes curved. Your words aren’t convincing! Your legs haven’t even regrown yet. Why are you suddenly smiling in such a scary manner?’

“Is there a problem?” Fu Wenduo asked lightly.

Fu Wensheng immediately straightened. “No!”

The random teammate on the side, “…”

Was this really Fu Wenduo?

The situation on the other side of the turkey egg wasn’t known to Tang Mo. The light film dissipates slowly and 20 items appeared on the board.

The tacit understanding between Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo was hard to explain in words. For example, Tang Mo just briefly said that the game was actually simple and Fu Wenduo immediately understood that Tang Mo already knew how to pa.s.s the game.

Yes, Tang Mo realized the true way to pa.s.s the game.

In fact, everything was very simple. Once he noticed the truth, he looked back and found that everything was reasonable. They were just blinded by something.

Tang Mo had a 90% grasp of the way to clear the instance. But to be on the safe side, he couldn’t do it at will.

The sixth round started and Tang Mo didn’t say much. As before, the two teams moved around the board and Tang Mo changed the brightness of Mosaic’s grid, so that both teams couldn’t pa.s.s the instance.

The same situation was repeated for two more rounds.

On the ninth round, 20 more items appeared. Bai Ruoyao looked at the grids where the two books were located. He blinked and then spoke in an ambiguous tone, “Tang Tang, you seem to have been staring at me for a few rounds. Hehe, do I look good?”

Tang Mo agreed. “Yes, you look good.”

Bai Ruoyao, “…”

Bai Ruoyao deliberately spoke provocative words but once Tang Mo agreed, he couldn’t laugh. He carefully observed Tang Mo, as if trying to find out something from Tang Mo’s expression. Suddenly, Tang Mo asked, “Do you think I look good?”

Bai Ruoyao, “…”

This definitely wasn’t the Tang Mo he knew!

Tang Mo smiled, “Then do you think he looks good?”

Bai Ruoyao subconsciously looked at Liu Wansheng.

Liu Wansheng looked startled.

Bai Ruoyao didn’t hesitate. “He is ugly.”

Liu Wansheng, “…”

Tang Mo said, “He’s okay. He isn’t bad if he takes off the black-framed gla.s.ses.”

Bai Ruoyao smiled. “That depends on who he is compared with. Tang Tang, compared with you, he is very ugly.”

Tang Mo raised his eyebrows and didn’t speak.

The black tower’s childlike voice was heard at this time.

“Ding dong! In the ninth round, Player 1 can move forward six steps, Player 2 can move forward six steps, Player 3 can move forward four steps and Player 4 can move forward three steps.”

In this round, the two books were in B2 and C1. Bai Ruoyao, Lin Qianxi and Liu Wansheng could enter the grids with the books but Tang Mo couldn’t. As before, Lin Qianxi and Tang Mo had fewer steps. They didn’t move as Bai Ruoyao and Liu Wansheng took two steps.  In the third turn, Lin Qianxi took a step forward and entered A2.

Bai Ruoyao and Liu Wansheng arrived at the two grids where the books were located.  Now Liu Wansheng just had to grab at least one grid and make sure that the other team didn’t seize all the grids containing books.

In the last step, Bai Ruoyao stopped on C1 and Liu Wansheng stopped on B2.

Bai Ruoyao’s light film was bright, Liu Wansheng’s light film was dark and Mosaic’s light film was bright. Lin Qianxi looked at the situation and her face didn’t change. She was in B3. As long as she didn’t walk into B4 to light up Liu Wansheng’s grid, Tang Mo’s team couldn’t win this round.  Tang Mo couldn’t influence Liu Wansheng’s grid.

Lin Qianxi didn’t think about it and planned to enter A3. It didn’t matter as long as she didn’t enter B4. Her feet had just lifted up when a calm male voice was heard, “Did Bai Ruoyao tell you that when the werewolf reappears, you will be the first to die?”

Lin Qianxi suddenly paused and turned to look at Tang Mo.

In the s.p.a.cious blue board, the handsome young man put his hands in his pocket and said quietly, “The werewolf chases players in the order of priority. Last time, she chased you for three minutes. You right arm was broken and it still hasn’t recovered.”

Bai Ruoyao opened his mouth. “Hehe, Tang Tang?”

Tang Mo ignored him and kept staring at Lin Qianxi. “My instincts are always accurate. Your team should also know this point. My gut feeling is that she will show up again soon. The next time she appears, she won’t chase you for only three minutes. It could be six minutes or it could be 10 minutes.” Tang Mo was calm. “Lin Qianxi, can you hold on for six minutes?”

Lin Qianxi replied calmly, “Priority? I know, my teammate and I have discussed this issue.”

Bai Ruoyao blinked. “Tang Tang, in your heart, am I a person who will betray my teammate and not even tell her this thing?”

“Then did he tell you that the next time the werewolf appears, he will help you and not let you die? It is because if you die, he will be alone with the two of us and the situation is even worse for him.”

Bai Ruoyao’s smile froze while Lin Qianxi’s eyes widened.

Tang Mo continued, “What if I tell you that the next time the werewolf appears, it isn’t just you. My teammate will also die.”

Liu Wansheng’s body froze.

“If you die alone, the situation is naturally unfavourable. He won’t allow this to exist and will certainly help you. But next time, my teammate can’t resist the werewolf because no one knows what will happen after helping him. Perhaps the werewolf will become more ferocious and kill both people. Even I won’t help Liu Wansheng, what makes you think that Bai Ruoyao will help you?”

Lin Qianxi’s lips moved but she didn’t speak.

Bai Ruoyao’s eyes slowly became cold but he couldn’t refute Tang Mo’s words.

After entering the instance, everyone could see that Tang Mo was much more trustworthy than Bai Ruoyao. If Tang Mo was qualified to be a teammate with 60 points, Bai Ruoyao didn’t even have 0 points. He was a minus points teammate.

If Tang Mo wouldn’t help Liu Wansheng resist the werewolf, why would Bai Ruoyao help Lin Qianxi?

Lin Qianxi spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “If I die, he will be alone with the two of you…”

“Miss Lin,” Tang Mo interrupted Lin Qianxi. “You don’t understand what I mean. I mean that when you die, my teammate Liu Wansheng is bound to die as well.  Once the two of you are dead, there will be only me and Bai Ruoyao left on the field. 1v2 is bad for him but 1v1 doesn’t matter. Besides, I will definitely die before him. Once I am dead, he will win. Until you, you still don’t understand…”

Tang Mo raised his head and smile. “Miss Lin, in Bai Ruoyao’s eyes, your life is nothing.”

His loud voice spread through the yard and echoed for a long time.

Mosaic propped her chin in her hands as she stared between Tang Mo and Lin Qianxi.

The next second, Lin Qianxi paled as she looked at Bai Ruoyao.

Bai Ruoyao shrugged and smiled. “Don’t look at me, I didn’t say anything. He is the one saying it.”

Lin Qianxi suddenly felt frozen.

How could she believe this man’s word?

Tang Mo opened his mouth. “Miss Lin, walk into B4 and help my teammate light up his grid.”

Bai Ruoyao kept smiling as he stared at Tang Mo with strange eyes. Lin Qianxi trembled as she watched Tang Mo. Her lips moved but she couldn’t say a word.

“Right you, you and I are the only ones who haven’t moved. We have one step left. Whether our two teams cooperate has nothing to do with Bai Ruoyao and Liu Wansheng. It is only between you and me. As long as you walk into B4 and help my teammate light up his grid, I will walk to E4 and not extinguish Mosaic’s grid. This way, Bai Ruoyao and Liu Wansheng’s grids will both be on and they can hand the books to Mosaic together. That is our cooperation.”

Bai Ruoyao’s voice was suddenly heard. “If two teams give a book to Mosaic, there is a chance that the werewolf will kill all four people.”

Lin Qianxi turned her head stiffly and looked at him.

Tang Mo smiled. “Then the stalemate will continue. The two of them will die and it will be only you and I left. This choice doesn’t matter. Perhaps you will die before me Bai Ruoyao?” Then Tang Mo looked at Lin Qianxi again. “Miss Lin, whatever you choose doesn’t have much to do with me. You just need to know that you can’t resist the werewolf’s next attack and that Bai Ruoyao and I will survive.”

Bai Ruoyao laughed. “Hehe, Xiao Lin Qianxi~”

Liu Wansheng gritted his teeth and helped Tang Mo. “Miss Lin, the two of us were stuck in the instance for a few days. f I could, I wish that I had never entered this instance. Tang Mo is currently right. He is the first Chinese player to clear the black tower’s third floor. His strength is beyond doubt. The method he gave is certainly the best way to keep all four of us alive. I choose to believe him.”

Bai Ruoyao fanned the flames. “Everyone will die together~”

Liu Wansheng angrily wanted to tell the psychopath to shut up but he didn’t dare.

Time pa.s.sed. Lin Qianxi stood on B3 and didn’t move.

The black tower’s cold voice was heard.

“Ding dong! Player 3, please move forward.”

Bai Ruoyao said, “It isn’t bad to die with Tang Tang.”

Liu Wansheng repeated, “Miss Lin, I believe in Tang Mo.”

Tang Mo smiled. “Hmmm… What should I say? I believe in myself?”

Lin Qianxi’s chest moved up and down as she breathed deeply. Her forehead was full of sweat and her clothes were soaked with sweat. Bai Ruoyao’s gloating voice, Liu Wansheng’s pleading voice and Tang Mo’s unconcerned voice formed a stereo in her mind, making her tremble.

“Enough!”

Suddenly, she opened her red eyes. She took a step forward into B4.

In an instant, Liu Wansheng’s grid lit up and the thin book floating in the light film emitted a faint blue light.

There wasn’t much emotion on Bai Ruoyao’s face. He just kept smiling. He didn’t seem happy or angry. Everything was hidden in that strange smile, making him unpredictable.

Liu Wansheng almost collapsed. He also wanted to live. If Tang Mo didn’t save him then he couldn’t endure the werewolf’s second attack. Now as long as Tang Mo walked freely and didn’t affect the brightness of Mosaic’s grid, they would pa.s.s the instance.

Tang Mo saw Lin Qianxi’s choice and an imperceptible crossed his face. He stepped into E4 and didn’t affect the brightness of Mosiac’s grid.

As soon as he stepped into the grid, cheerful music filled Peking University. Dozens of children sang in unison as the happy song entered the ears of every player and also Mosaic’s ears, causing her to make a depressed face and block her ears.

Mosaic exclaimed, “I don’t want to listen to thissss!!!”

“The sun is s.h.i.+ning, the flowers are laughing, the birds are asking why you are carrying a small bag so early…”

Once the ‘school song’ ended, Mosaic slammed against the table, crying.

“I don’t want to read, I don’t want to read, I won’t want to read books…”

On the 5×5 square board, the 21 light films completely disappeared along with all the useless items. In the grids where Bai Ruoyao and Liu Wansheng were located, two books floated in midair. Liu Wansheng reached out to take the book while Bai Ruoyao shook his head and muttered, “It’s so boring,” while picking up the book.

The game was over and the pair were ready to hand the books over to Mosaic. They were just about to walk to Mosaic’s grid when the black tower’s voice was heard once again.

“Ding dong! Player Tang Mo has completed the main mission, ‘All types of inferior products, superior Mosiac.’ As a reward for clearing the ‘All types of inferior products’ reality instance, the reward prop Mosiac’s Magic Match will be given. It is detected that Player Tang Mo separately cleared the ‘All types of inferior products’ reality instance and he will gain the extra reward, Mosaic’s kiss.”

The black tower’s voice stopped. The next moment, Bai Ruoyao, Liu Wansheng, Lin Qianxi and even Mosaic looked up at Tang Mo strangely.
