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

Lu Xiao pointed to the countdown timer on his wrist, which showed three minutes left before entering the game:

"I came to the lobby to wait for the game and just happened to see you."

Song Yi: "Are we about to enter the game?"

Lu Xiao turned his head and looked at his teammates not far behind him:

"Yes, it's a team competition."

Although Lu Xiao's expression changed quickly, Song Yi still noticed a hint of helplessness on his face.

Song Yi: "Is the team competition difficult?"

Lu Xiao lowered his head and gave a wry smile: "It's not difficult, as long as everyone is of one mind."

Song Yi understood; it seemed the team wasn't very united.

Team competitions—just from the name, you can tell that teamwork is crucial. Lu Xiao spoke of it casually, but in a horror game, a lack of unity is extremely dangerous.

Song Yi: "Isn't the team competition supposed to allow players to choose their own teammates? How come you, the captain, are still like this~"

Song Yi was too embarrassed to say that Lu Xiao was being controlled by others, but as the number one player on the leaderboard of a horror game, didn't he even have this much freedom?

Lu Xiao: "Don't you know? I'm not the captain."

Song Yi: ? ? ? "Huh? You're not the captain!"

This truly surprised Song Yi. He looked up at Lu Xiao's total score on the game lobby leaderboard, then at Lu Xiao standing in front of him, his tone full of incomprehension.

Lu Xiao doesn't seem like a fool. He's so capable; he's fully able to form his own team. Why would he want to be someone else's team member?

Want to experience what it's like to be a corporate slave? Or...?

"No way, bro, you've been kidnapped? Is there such a thing as capital in the game? If you've been coerced, blink twice."

Lu Xiao laughed and punched Song Yi on the shoulder: "What nonsense are you guessing?"

"When I first entered the game, I was saved once by a member of the Kunpeng team. He was a very nice guy and invited me to join the Kunpeng team, so I joined and haven't switched teams since."

Lu Xiao himself wasn't keen on being a leader, and since that older brother was indeed a good person, joining the team would save him a lot of trouble, so Lu Xiao joined.

After Lu Xiao joined the Kunpeng team, his outstanding performance propelled the team from outside the top 1,000 in the horror game team rankings to number one in just a year and a half. The Kunpeng team was incredibly lucky to have signed Lu Xiao.

Song Yi: "So you're repaying a debt of gratitude?"

Lu Xiao sighed again: "Yes and no, I guess."

"The guy who brought me into the Kunpeng team died in the game a year ago. As for me, I just didn't switch because I didn't want the hassle."

Upon hearing this, Song Yi immediately grabbed Lu Xiao's hand:

"Brother, just tell me what you need. If I can, I'll do it right away. If I can't, I'll find a way to do it. Don't be afraid of the trouble. I have the top-notch TaoTao system. Any business can be processed in seconds."

Tao Tao jumped out from Song Yi's chest and winked at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao smiled and brushed Song Yi's hand away: "Your team is already full. Don't think I don't know. If you want me to join, you'd better upgrade to level 30 quickly."

Song Yi tilted his head back: "That's not something that can be done in a minute."

When Song Yi sent Lu Xiao a team invitation last time, Lu Xiao didn't immediately refuse. Song Yi thought Lu Xiao was just too lazy to care, because if he were the captain, he would be responsible for the members of the Kunpeng team.

How could such a high-ranking team leader abandon his team members?

But now that Song Yi knows Lu Xiao isn't the captain, the invitation letter might actually work.

In fact, Lu Xiao had long wanted to leave the Kunpeng team.

Although the Kunpeng team has many members, their quality varies, and they don't have a very good relationship with every teammate.

There are two types of team competitions: one where you only need to have enough members, and the other where all team members must participate.

This time, Lu Xiao participated in the second type of event. Lu Xiao could choose those who had a good relationship with him, but there were also those he couldn't control.

For example, the team he participated in this time had a total of 5 members, one of whom was Wang Xingwei, who had joined the Kunpeng team earlier than him. Although the two seemed to get along well on the surface, they knew each other very well.

For Lu Xiao, once he entered the game, he had to guard against not only ghosts, but also people.

It's almost time; Lu Xiao should enter the game.

Before leaving, Lu Xiao said, "Let's have a good talk next time we meet."

Lu Xiao said his farewell very formally, but Song Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Lu Xiao: "What are you laughing at?"

Tao Tao sat on Song Yi's head, and Song Yi's thoughts were directly transmitted to Tao Tao.

Tao Tao: "People who say goodbye like this usually have an accident and don't come back."

Lu Xiao: !! !! "Hopefully, things will turn out well for me."

Song Yi smiled: "Good, good, good, the game went smoothly."

After Lu Xiao left, Song Yi found a quiet place to check the points and rewards he had earned in this game.

Because the system was muted by itself, Song Yi couldn't hear either the Misfortune Box or the Surprise Box.

In this game, Song Yi obtained a total of 42 unlucky boxes and 2 surprise boxes.

Both surprise boxes were given by Jiang Tong. One of them gave him a 20-point boost to his strength and speed, and the other contained a small item.

Judging from the icon, it looks like...

A wrench?

Song Yi took out the prop, which was 40 centimeters long and silver in color.

That's right, it's a wrench.

The accompanying description reads: "The perfect prop for slapping, and..."

Song Yi: !!!

Thank you so much, the game is really too considerate.

Lin Jing's energy conversion inside the energy ball was complete. Song Yi then transferred the energy to Zhou Yuyan, who was immediately upgraded to an SS-level intermediate red-clothed ghost.

Afterwards, Song Yi put Zhao Meijuan in as well. The energy that Zhao Meijuan converted should be stronger than that of Lin Jing. Song Yi planned to share her energy with Luo Fei, Jiang Tong, and Xiao Bao.

Luo Fei is now S-rank, while Xiao Bao and Jiang Tong are A-rank.

Song Yi then looked at his current data again.

Level: Lv16

The overall physical fitness level is C (upgraded to B when strength and speed reach 300).

Power: 231

Speed: 228

With a wave of his hand, Song Yi lost more than half of his points, but his strength and speed were both maxed out at 300, and his overall physical fitness was upgraded to B-level.

Song Yi felt a surge of energy within his body, and his muscle definition became more pronounced, especially his eight-pack abs.

To put it in perspective, a B-class punch could stop a car traveling at 70 mph.

This power enhances the body, so it won't change even if it's outside of horror games.

Song Yi was happy with the feeling of her body being full of power. Most importantly, she used to need to exercise every day to build muscle, but now she didn't have to, and even her muscles were permanent.

Seeing that he still had a lot of points left, Song Yi went shopping for a while.

After the game starts, their personal points are frozen. They can only use the points allocated to them by the system to buy items, but the tools in their inventory can still be used.

While no one knows for sure what the best items are for each game, it's always a good idea to buy some items that can save your life.

But Song Yi is different; he likes to buy fun, strange, and unfamiliar things.

He even bought a zombie from there!
