After a night's rest, the players plan to search for clues separately in the manor today.
Mr. Xu, relying on the large number of people around him, confidently took over the power of commanding everyone. "It's easier to work with men and women together. We'll split up into groups to look for clues. The men will be responsible for exploring the way, while the women will be more careful and responsible for finding things that look like props. Finally, we'll bring them all back for selection."
Everyone was silent and did not respond to his call.
Seeing this, Mr. Xu looked dissatisfied and said, "If you understand, just say you got it."
Mo Qing is now a day student at the tortoise school—the turtle doesn't live on campus anymore: "Cows can moo and horses can bray, cows and horses can hear it, hear it~"
"Hahahahahaha!"
[As expected of you, Director Mo! ]
[I'm dying of laughter. How can this guy be both annoying and interesting?]
[That rich second-generation guy is really pretentious. They're all players who've been killed. No matter how rich his family is, it doesn't apply in a dungeon! What gives him the right to order everyone around?]
[Because he has so many lackeys under his command.]
I don't know what those people are so devoted to. Even if this man promises millions or tens of millions, it's all in vain if they can't get out.
Mr. Xu glared at him almost immediately, and the looks from his bodyguards and followers also became unfriendly.
"What are you looking at? Just take care of your own lackeys and mind your own business." Mo Qing showed no fear and immediately glared back, "You sound fair. You even said you'll take back everything you find. Actually, you're just giving it back to me and letting me choose. I'll give the rest to others, right? You're quite shameless."
"Are you tired of living?" Mr. Xu narrowed his eyes and spoke in a dangerous tone.
"How can you say that? Mr. Xu is doing this for everyone's benefit! We're all on the same page, so what's wrong with cooperating with each other?"
"That's right, if you want to be a lone ranger, then go ahead and do it. There's no need to talk nonsense here."
Mo Qing snorted lightly, not bothering to pay attention to them, and walked around everyone and left.
Mr. Xu suppressed his anger and looked at the others, "What do you think? If you don't want to, I won't force you, lest someone accuse me of bullying you."
He thought that the remaining silent ones would give him some face, whether because of his status in the real world or because his group was the largest and safest.
But I didn't expect...
Yu Chong smiled and said, "I think since it's only the second day, we should split up and search. If there are people we trust who are willing to form a team, we can do so."
The three thugs ignored him, put their hands in their pockets, and walked out of the main building calmly.
The male student, holding a bulging schoolbag that he had found from somewhere, walked away timidly around the crowd.
Yuqian and Xiaobai held hands and smiled awkwardly but politely, "We are not used to being with others. Thank you for your kindness."
Most people did not join Mr. Xu's team, and did not even form a team. They started looking for clues on their own.
After all, there are almost no novices in this dungeon, and everyone can see that forming a team is not very useful. On the contrary, it is a team of nine people like Mr. Xu's, with only four places to pass the level, and they will stab each other in the back in the end, which is really scary.
Most people had left, and the only people left in the living room were Mr. Xu's team and Li Yang, who was staring outside in a daze.
"And you?"
Mr. Xu was burning with anger, and his expression and tone were quite bad at the moment, but he still restrained himself when talking to Li Yang.
He had an impression of this red-haired woman. She was pretty but timid. However, he was scared to tears when he saw that she lived on the same floor with the housekeeper.
Although this kind of vase is not very useful, it is usually easy to control and is very suitable to be included in the team as cannon fodder. When necessary, it can be used to test traps.
Li Yang slowly turned around and looked at him with a clear expression, "Are you talking to me?"
Mr. Xu felt that this person was easy to fool, and he forced a smile, "Yes, do you want to join us?"
"No need. Your team has enough people. I prefer teams with fewer people." Li Yang smiled gently, but turned around and left without any hesitation.
It's funny. No matter how strong her desire to perform is, she has no interest in hanging out with someone who obviously can't hold back his fart and has a bit of a master syndrome.
Just a few steps out of the main building, Li Yang heard the sound of something falling to the ground and Mr. Xu's angry curses.
She couldn't help but laugh softly.
[Hahahahaha, my wife is so mean! She must have heard the deadbeat guy pulling people into the team early in the morning and deliberately stayed last!]
[The above, although I don't quite agree with what you said, but I don't believe all the personality displayed by the red-haired man, so I reluctantly believe you. ]
[Why do you call her Red Hair? Didn't she say her name was Du Ruo?]
[You don't understand, this is our love for her. ]
Most people in the dungeon use pseudonyms or online names. They're all fake anyway, so what difference does it make? Besides, Red Hair is such a great name; you know who they're talking about right away.
I'm already looking forward to the day when Ruoruo's wife runs into a livestream audience member in a dungeon and gets called a redhead in person.
[Hahahahahaha, I'm looking forward to it too! So please invite more people to watch the live broadcast, so the chances of encountering it will be greater!]
At this moment, Li Yang was relying on his appearance to choose where to go to fish, no, to look for clues, and he had no idea that a premeditated car crash was brewing in his live broadcast room.
But even if she knew, she would just say in surprise: Are you crazy?
Really, I'm willing to sacrifice my life to chase my idol.
Inside the main building.
Mr. Xu and his group planned to look for clues in this building, while everyone else went to various places in the manor. Following people around to pick up things was not the style of the honorable Mr. Xu.
In addition to this, what is more important is that the players' rooms are all in the main building. They went out lightly, and the supplies they had bought previously were obviously placed in the room.
"Leave two of you to search on the first floor, and the rest of you follow me upstairs."
This time, no one objected to Mr. Xu's arrangement, mainly because it was broad daylight and they had company, so they felt safer.
Before going upstairs, Mr. Xu emphasized, "Remember to go to Du Ruo's room and see if there's anything you can use."
You don't want to follow his orders or team up with him, right?
He would make these people beg to be his slaves.
The two people who stayed on the first floor nodded with understanding, "We understand."
Mr. Xu took the other six people to the second floor.
"Look, which room does the ugly guy live in?"
It was only when the three followers came up that they discovered that what Mr. Xu meant by "following him upstairs to search" was that they were all searching separately, while he himself was leaning on the corridor, smoking and waiting.
[Wow, Director Mo, come back quickly! Someone is trying to steal your supplies!]
[Is this a dirty trick? I wish I could punch the screen.]
[This kind of person is so disgusting! But it just so happens that selfish and vicious people have the highest clearance rate.]
[Who says it's not true? Good things happen to good people, but that's all fairy tales. Only those who don't care about other people's feelings can live comfortably.]
[Hey, hey, hey, don't spread this bad idea. We should still believe that good will prevail over evil.]
