It took half a minute before someone responded to her.
[Juice]: Sis Yao, I’m afraid we won’t be able to make it tonight. Expert and I have been called by the professor to do menial labor. Wuuuuuu.
[Expert of the Monkeys]: Sis Yao, sorry about that. We’ll play with you tomorrow.
[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: It’s fine. You should focus on whatever you’re busy with.
[Juice] and [Expert of the Monkeys] seemed to have their hands full. After replying to Shi Yao with an emoji each, they fell silent in the group.
Shi Yao returned to the game and played two rounds solo. While she no longer box-ified right after landing on the ground, she still didn’t survive too long in the game.
Thus, after ending the second round, Shi Yao felt that it would be better to go for Squad mode instead.
However, shortly after she returned to the lobby, and before she could even select the Squad mode, someone entered her room—it was [111111].
Did Mister Numbers see the room she shared in the group and tapped in accidentally or…?
Shi Yao waited for a moment, but [111111] didn’t leave the room.
Was he embarrassed to leave after accidentally tapping in?
Shi Yao was contemplating whether she should find an excuse to back out of the game so that Mister Numbers could leave without feeling awkward, but suddenly a message appeared in the game interface.
[111111]: ?
?
What did that mean?
Was he asking why she wasn’t starting the game?
Perhaps it was due to her prolonged lack of response, but [111111] sent yet another message: [??]
Was he pressing her to start the game?
Shi Yao asked weakly: [Start?]
[111111] didn’t speak, responding with a [.] instead.
Wasn’t he a little too cold? To actually use punctuations to substitute the words he wished to express… It was fortunate that she was smart. If someone less sharp-witted had been in her place and didn’t understand his message, wouldn’t it end up being very awkward?
With such thoughts in mind, Shi Yao started the game.
…
On the other end of the game, Lin Jiage was sitting by his grandfather’s bed, calmly tapping on his phone screen while thinking that it was no wonder the girl Xia Shangzhou had invited to the crew was so weak in the game—she was always either lying cold on the ground or trembling fearfully in the bushes.
It appeared that there was indeed something wrong with her intelligence. Since he entered the room, it should be obvious that he was there to play. Yet, she actually asked whether she should start or not?
…
Shi Yao thought that with [111111] around, she would be able to have some chicken dinners.
In the end, she did get some chicken dinners, but the gaming experience she derived from it was practically non-existent.
When she played alone, she would aim to land in more sparsely populated areas. While she did end up dying eventually, she still managed to survive for some time.
[111111] was the complete opposite. He would always aim to land in areas which were the most populated.
On normal occasions, Juice and Expert would protect her, so she was able to survive for quite a long time. On the other hand, [111111] treated her as if she didn’t exist at all. He would move independently to slaughter all enemies before him with all kinds of incredible maneuvers, leaving the pitiful, vulnerable her to be killed by others.
However, on the fourth round, perhaps [111111] had gotten tired of landing on populated areas, but he suddenly went to the opposite end of the spectrum, aiming solely for areas that were as sparsely populated as possible.
In the subsequent matches, [111111] still left her to fend for herself, but since there was no one in the area they landed, Shi Yao didn’t die anymore. She was able to successfully arrive in the final circle by carefully following [111111].
…
After their gaming session came to an end, Lin Jiage went to take a bath before lying on a caretaker bed. He picked up his phone and began reading through his WeChat.
There were various unread messages, but they weren’t really important.
There was a new notification, and after tapping in, he saw that [Yao Loves Ice Cream] had requested to add him as a friend.
