Mistaking a horror game for a romance novel, he unexpectedly became a legend.
Chapter 220: Taking sides
Among the players, someone suggested:
"Should we go up and help mediate?"
Cheng Donglai immediately continued, "No, going up now will only draw artillery fire to our own doorstep. We absolutely cannot do that."
Cheng Donglai stopped the players who wanted to help, but one player still couldn't stand by and watch.
Meng Jing, a rugged-looking 34-year-old man with a strong sense of justice, may look like a thug, but he used to be a veterinarian at a pet hospital.
Seeing that none of the players intended to help Song Yi and his companion, Meng Jing couldn't stand it anymore.
There are too many NPCs in this game who bully others. What's wrong with helping them out?
Meng Jing walked over to Song Yi, a smile on his face as he looked at Lin Zheng:
"Why don't you give me the soup? I'm the best cook, and I'm sure I can make a better soup."
Meng Jing tried to be a peacemaker, but Lin Zheng didn't give him any face.
Lin Zheng had a premeditated plan to deal with Song Yi and Lu Xiao, so why would he let others interfere?
Before Meng Jing could make any further moves, Lin Zheng suddenly splashed the soup in his hand at Song Yi:
"As soldiers, you haven't even learned the most basic etiquette. Let me teach you two today."
As Song Yi watched the soup fly towards him, he dodged it, spilling all the bean sprout soup onto the ground, with only a few droplets splashing out.
Meng Jingren was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Zheng to suddenly make a move. He thought he needed to stop Lin Zheng from doing anything, but before he could do anything, Song Yi grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the ground.
A cold laugh came from in front of Song Yi.
Having taught three people a lesson in succession, Lin Zheng was now bursting with confidence, feeling that he could take on ten at once.
However, the next moment, Song Yi and Lu Xiao made their move together.
Song Yi punched Lin Zheng, giving him a bruise around the eye, while Lu Xiao punched him, making Lin Zheng's two eyes symmetrical.
Lin Zheng hadn't expected that these two would dare to oppose him like this even in front of the sergeant, and neither had anyone else.
Song Yi: "You're giving me face again. You've already forgotten what you just got beaten up, haven't you?"
This time, Lu Xiao showed no mercy. He stepped on Lin Zheng's arm, and with a snap, Lin Zheng's arm broke.
Song Yi and Lu Xiao ganged up on Lin Zheng, delivering a series of swift kicks that left Lin Zheng screaming in agony. When he was so badly beaten that even his own mother couldn't recognize him, the others at the scene finally reacted and rushed forward to break up the fight.
The mess hall was in complete chaos. The captain got angry, stood up and shouted, and everyone immediately quieted down.
Taking the opportunity, Song Yi whispered to Lu Xiao, "Why don't we blow this place up?"
Song Yi and Lu Xiao were both second-level soldiers, the lowest rank in the army. Lin Zheng was the sergeant's man, and their beating up him was tantamount to disrespecting the sergeant, so they would definitely be punished.
This game didn't award any points, and redeeming items from the in-game store was prohibited. Song Yi had no currency and was too lazy to continue the story.
Another thing is that Song Yi is different from others. Even if others are not satisfied with the plot, they can't blow up this place because the NPCs will definitely make fun of them after they become vengeful ghosts. But what others are most afraid of is what Song Yi wants the most.
This dangerous idea was noticed by the horror game.
[Beep beep beep, disrupting the script is prohibited. Players who disrupt the script will be penalized with 10 points.]
Song Yi: ...I can't afford to play this game!
Lu Xiao tried his best to suppress his laughter:
"No need to blow it up, don't worry, we'll be fine."
In the blink of an eye, Lu Xiao and Song Yi were locked in a small dark room, while Lin Zheng was sent to the infirmary.
Outside, the players had also secretly gathered together:
Cheng Donglai: "These two troublemakers have caused such a huge mess as soon as they entered the game."
"Yeah, Lin Zheng only asked the two of them to make a bowl of soup, and those two were out of their minds, they actually hit people."
"What do we do now? Should we intervene?"
Meng Jing stood up and said to Xu Dachun, the highest-ranking official there:
"Brother Xu, you're a private first class, can you go and see what's going on?"
Before Xu Dachun could speak, Cheng Donglai immediately and strongly objected:
"No way, why should Brother Xu go?"
Cheng Donglai simply looked down on troublemakers, Meng Jing frowned:
"What's wrong with you? I'm asking Brother Xu, what does it have to do with you?"
Cheng Donglai crossed his arms, and although every word he said seemed to be for everyone's benefit, his selfishness was still noticed by everyone.
Xu Dachun:
"Although it's only the first day of the game, everyone should be able to feel that the NPCs in this game are particularly good at forming cliques and bullying each other. In this situation, players should get along better and work together to solve problems."
Meng Jing immediately chimed in:
"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Although Lu Xiao and Song Yi got themselves locked up in the dark room, we're all players above level 30. Don't you understand the game? They're locked up today, but tomorrow or the day after, we'll definitely be in there someday too."
Everyone nodded: "Indeed, look at that chubby kid today, he didn't do anything but got humiliated. Lin Zheng is no good person to begin with."
Cheng Donglai disagreed: "You can't say that. We're here to beat the game. You know, if we fail, we'll lose our lives. In this situation, of course we'll do whatever it takes to beat the game."
“I think that sergeant has a lot of influence in the army. Lin Zheng is a new recruit, and he can get on the sergeant’s good side. Why can’t we?”
After he said that, everyone looked at Cheng Donglai differently this time.
Although horror games can be deadly, we were all kind people at some point. When faced with a situation, a kind person's first thought is to see who is right and who is wrong. Only an extremely selfish person thinks about who can help them before entering the game.
After Cheng Donglai finished speaking, he noticed that everyone was silent. When he turned around, he saw that everyone was looking at him strangely.
"What, you disagree with what I said?"
Meng Jing: "The captain does seem like no one dares to mess with him, but how can you be sure he won't do anything to you if you follow him?"
Cheng Donglai sneered: "So, none of you are planning to stand with Captain Levi?"
Xu Dachun mediated, saying, "It's not that we don't plan to stand up, it's just that it's too early to say anything now, we need to wait and see."
Xu Dachun really didn't want to side with the sergeant; that sergeant was too dangerous.
Cheng Donglai was quite angry; the teammates he was assigned to in this game were all cowards.
Cheng Donglai: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Lin Zheng is lying in the infirmary right now. The sergeant is short of people. If you go too late, the sergeant might not want you anymore."
Cheng Donglai had this idea in mind when Lin Zheng got into trouble, and now that he found that his teammates had no intention of doing so, he was naturally anxious.
This was the first time Meng Jing had encountered such a snobbish person: "If you want to go, go by yourself. Don't drag others down with you."
