Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.

Jiang Chong, the captain of the Kunpeng team who was suddenly called out, comforted him: "Xiaobai, calm down first. Match 2313 is really too difficult. Going in impulsively will only get you killed."

At this moment, how could Xiaobai remain calm? "Okay, I won't act impulsively. Captain, do you have a rescue plan?"

Jiang Chong tried to comfort Xiaobai, spouting irrelevant nonsense. After a while, a female team member behind him couldn't take it anymore and spoke sharply:

"What kind of rescue plan could there be? No one is going to go in and die with you, especially since Lu Xiao is no longer a member of the Kunpeng team."

Xiao Bai looked at the female team member with a terrified expression: "What do you mean?"

The female team member, wearing high heels and holding a glass of wine, slowly walked up to Xiaobai:

"You've been in Horror Game for so long, how come you're still so naive? Kunpeng Team needs someone who can help the team stay in first place, and whether that person is Lu Xiao or not doesn't really matter."

"Anyone like Lu Xiao who's left in the game is useless even if he's alive. It's no different from being dead. It's a waste of resources for him to occupy a spot in the Kunpeng team. So our captain naturally removed Lu Xiao from the team immediately."

Lin Yao's words tore away the glamorous facade of the Kunpeng team, revealing its most ruthless side.

Xiao Bai was filled with disbelief. He was born kind, and even in this game, he was lucky to meet Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao taught him many things and always protected him. But now, facing the cold and ruthless attitude of the entire team, Xiao Bai felt like his heart had been hit hard.

"You, all of you, I never thought you were all such cold-hearted people. Lu Xiao shouldn't have helped you in the first place. It was a complete waste of his efforts."

Someone muttered from the side, "It's not like we begged him to help us."

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai's eyes flashed like a knife:

"If you weren't begging him, did Lu Xiao have to beg him to come?"

The team member fell silent.

Xiao Bai said, "I can't stand this lousy place anymore. I'm leaving the team."

Xiao Bai took a deep breath and composed himself. He walked up to Captain Jiang Chong and said, "Please release me from my team member status."

Xiao Bai is level 47. If it were before Lu Xiao was around, Jiang Chong definitely wouldn't have let a level 47 teammate go.

But now that the Kunpeng team has a good reputation, and Xiaobai has left, there is a vacancy, so they can recruit more outstanding people.

Jiang Chong asked Xiaobai in a pretentious manner, "Aren't you going to reconsider?"

Xiao Bai felt utterly disillusioned with everyone on the team: "No need to consider it anymore."

After Xiaobai finished speaking, less than two seconds later, the system notification sounded, indicating that he was no longer a member of the Kunpeng team.

Many people in the bar looked at Xiaobai as if he were an idiot. So many people wanted to join the Kunpeng team but couldn't, and he was actually going to leave the team for someone whose fate was unknown. Where did the horror game find such a naive and childish fool?

Xiao Bai snorted coldly and took one last look at the people in the room before leaving. These people seemed to have forgotten that the Kunpeng Team was able to become the number one team in the horror game because of Lu Xiao. Who gave them the idea that they could maintain this position without Lu Xiao?

He wanted to see how the Kunpeng team, led by Su Lie and Jiang Chong, maintained their number one position.

After Xiaobai left, the Kunpeng team continued drinking and having fun as if nothing had happened.

After finishing the game, Song Yi returned home and looked at the more than 10,000 items in his system inventory. For the first time, Song Yi felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of gifts he had received.

He tried to send a message to Lu Xiao, but the chat box failed, and Lu Xiao's profile picture was now gray.

Song Yi felt it was a bit of a dilemma; someone had given him such a big gift, but he had no chance to return it.

"Tao Tao, do you think Lu Xiao is really dead?"

Song Yi was somewhat skeptical. Lu Xiao didn't seem like the kind of person who would die young for no reason.

Tao Tao sat opposite Song Yi: [He's not dead, but it's no different from being dead.]

Tao Tao reviewed various unexpected situations in the horror games, and then said:

[If the game hadn't been completed, the player would definitely be dead. However, the data for Lu Xiao's match 2313 shows that the game was completed, and Lu Xiao was the only member of the Kunpeng team who didn't exit. This suggests two possibilities.]

Song Yi: "Which two?"

Tao Tao jumped into Song Yi's palm: [First, it's normal for Lu Xiao to die during the game. But Lu Xiao gave you all his inheritance in a package, and the time he gave you the gift was just one second before the game ended. The timing was too subtle. Even if he still had a breath left, he should have returned to the game lobby before dying. So I think Lu Xiao became an NPC in the game long before the game ended.]

Song Yi: "Is it possible to do it like this?"

Tao Tao: [Players who die before the game ends are considered dead, but those who don't complete the game before time runs out will become NPCs in the game; this is a very common phenomenon.]

Therefore, it's not that players won't become NPCs, but rather how they will become NPCs is what needs to be discussed.

Song Yi roughly understood what Tao Tao meant; there was a high chance that Lu Xiao had been ambushed.

Song Yi: "So, even if Lu Xiao is alive, he'll never get out?"

Tao Tao: [Hmm~ It's not entirely impossible.]

If it were possible to keep Lu Xiao alive, Song Yi would certainly want him to live.

"Oh? Is there any other way?"

Tao Tao: [If Lu Xiao was truly murdered and became an NPC, there's hope he can be brought back, as long as someone is willing to enter his game for him.]

The problem now is that we don't know his situation, or whether we can even find him.

Song Yi took this to heart, but it was the previous sentence: "If someone is willing to enter his game for him."

Song Yi: "We're just killing time anyway, why don't we give it a try?"

"What conditions do I need to enter Lu Xiao's game?"

Tao Tao also liked Lu Xiao very much, and he showed the conditions to Song Yi:

[2313 is a team competition. First, there must be five or more team members participating. Second, players must be level 40 or higher to have the opportunity to choose a match.]

Song Yi: "What if the level isn't 40?"

TaoTao: "Players can join, but they must agree to increase the game difficulty by 30% compared to the original game."

Song Yi: "Hiss? What kind of logic is that?"

Normally, games lower the difficulty for lower-level players to accommodate them, so why is it that horror games increase the difficulty?

Tao Tao: !!! [Original quote from a horror game: To prevent those idiots from overestimating themselves.]

Song Yi: "Register me, register me right now."

You're trying to provoke me, huh? I'll beat you to a pulp in this game, or I'm not Song Yi.
