Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Joining forces to test a team full of problems

Silence.

After brief self-introductions came endless silence. Even with Jealousy's talkative nature, he had no idea what to say at this moment.

What's going on with this game again and again?

Why do we keep matching together even without teaming up? And how did she become the tour guide?!

With Xie Antong's appearance, all the [Tourists] present were stunned into silence, unable to speak.

Xie Antong wasn't someone who would be defeated by silence. She casually pulled out a notebook and began writing and drawing while speaking.

"If everyone has no questions..."

"Wait, I have a question," Sun suddenly interrupted. "Which faction are you in right now?"

Xie Antong:......

What kind of intelligence level could possibly produce such a question?

"If the game's faction assignment system isn't broken, I'm in the [Amusement Park] faction, meaning the one opposing yours."

Sun immediately adopted a thoughtful expression, looking somewhat shocked at Xie Antong.

"Huh? Then why are you the guide? Your role seems really special."

"What about the others? What are they doing?"

Xie Antong remained silent for a moment before speaking quietly:

"Maybe they don't want to talk to fools."

As she spoke, she looked down to check the time.

"Since you're all tourists, you have ten minutes to get familiar with each other."

"After ten minutes, our amusement park journey will begin."

Click-clack!

Sun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the sound of a gun being cocked!

Turning to look beside him, he saw the guy with the pink mask had actually pulled out a gun and was pointing it at "Blank."

Lu Ce, wearing the Jealousy Mask, raised his Hell's Roar in one hand while holding a lollipop in the other, speaking up.

"I don't think we need to go through all this trouble."

"How do I know this isn't all your own production? After all, you can even imitate the game's voice. Maybe you don't have any related game sounds at all."

[Um, I can guarantee this matter is indeed the game's decision.]

Right at that moment, the game's voice sounded rather rudely, refuting Lu Ce's speculation.

But "Sin" showed no reaction at all, and after hearing this, actually became even more excited.

The gun barrel tapped a few more times.

"Oh, really? Well that works out perfectly then."

"I want to test what happens in this game if there's no tour guide."

The corner of Xie Antong's mouth under her helmet curved upward slightly, showing no emotional change. After staring at the pink mask for a long moment, she finally spoke:

"Well then, why don't you try and find out."

......

Everyone around was bewildered by the current situation, their brains struggling to process what was happening.

The game hadn't even officially started yet, and they were already playing so dangerously without even knowing the rules clearly?

Even Sun couldn't quite keep up with this pace, thinking to himself that these two had way too much killing intent.

[: Seriously, why are these nemeses always crossing paths? This is real hatred.]

[: Just formed an organization to oppose each other, plus she was just killed by him not long ago.]

[: This is genuine pursuit killing.]

While most viewers enjoyed this entertaining scene with lighthearted jokes, many were also secretly sweating with nervousness.

After all, comparatively, people were more affected by the "Divine Punishment announcement."

......

In the Garden of Amusement, Shock of Dreams, Lu Ce's gun barrel remained raised for a long time before slowly lowering, as if he was hesitating about something.

But immediately afterward, he instantly raised his hand and fired an extremely quick shot!

The shot was fired with a flick of the wrist, making it difficult for anyone except Lu Ce himself to predict where exactly he was aiming.

Under the powerful control of Scholar's Right Hand, his gun barrel lifted slightly upward.

This shot would miss even if the target wasn't prepared.

Rip~

A sound like cloth tearing echoed as Hell's Roar's energy bullet dissipated before Xie Antong, consumed by an even more powerful force.

A layer of energy membrane appeared in front of Xie Antong, blocking the attack.

"Hah, bodyguards, huh? I knew it. Also, a bit of someone relying on their dog's power."

Lu Ce lowered his gun, laughing as he spoke.

[Sorry, but the tour can't begin if you harm the guide?]

[Wait, did a certain player just insult me?]

Xie Antong slowly lowered her head, relaxing slightly.

This joint probe had been relatively successful. Indeed, the game's power would still interfere with gameplay, and her current identity was protected.

The fact that even she herself hadn't been informed about this suggested this protection wasn't a "hard rule."

Xie Antong calculated silently in her heart.

As for Lu Ce's side, he appeared quite casual, as if he'd just randomly fired a shot without any thought behind it.

The Jealousy mask really didn't give off particularly intelligent vibes.

After this interlude, it finally came time for the tourists to get familiar with each other.

There were seven people on this platform besides Xie Antong - five men and two women.

Sun and Lu Ce went without saying - these two had been thrown together in plenty of games. They glanced at each other but didn't communicate.

Among the remaining people, one woman was very outgoing. She blew her hair back quite domineeringly, crossed her arms, and spoke:

"Such a gathering of talents. I actually got matched with the strongest player."

"I wonder if we count as cooperative partners? Should we chat about why we chose this faction?"

As one woman spoke, the other remaining female spoke up, her voice exceptionally soft and timid:

"I don't know... I, I thought we were supposed to choose tourist. After all, the game is amusement park, how could we choose amusement park?"

"Why are there so few people... does that mean our opposing faction has many people? I hope everyone can protect me."

Beside them, a man with a nose ring frowned, speaking somewhat exasperatedly:

"We're already at this stage of the game, and you're still talking about protection? Are you new? New players should just use Exit Coins."

"I sensed that heavy snowfall and worried it was the game's temptation, so I deliberately chose the opposite."

Across from the nose ring man stood a Black man who scratched his head and spoke with some distress.

His accent, automatically translated into Chinese by the game, sounded somewhat amusing.

And what he said was even more unreliable.

"Hey, not cool man, don't eat that sour radish!"

"That word meant tourist? I wanted to choose amusement park."
