As someone who prioritizes killing others, I'm forced to stream a death game.

"What price are you willing to pay to make me make this trip myself?"

"A ghostly artifact of the vengeful level."

"make a deal."

The Xuan Yin Society is much simpler than the Chi Xiao Society.

As long as Bai Jia doesn't come empty-handed, he'll basically agree immediately.

Watching the rapidly disappearing communication image, Bai Jia muttered to himself, "He's really easy to talk to, Fang Congyu."

But it’s not incomprehensible.

Xuan Yin Hui.

As one of the very few forces that has been able to establish itself in the East with an all-female population.

Its upper echelons are extremely protective of their own.

Their attitude was like that of a mutated hedgehog.

If you dare to touch even one of their thorns, all the others will prick you.

Not negotiable.

That's why Fang Congyu agreed so readily.

"Liu Ren, consider this the pit you dug for yourself as your grave." Bai Jia picked up the glass of red wine on the table, took a sip, and glanced at the darkening sky outside the window.

Although they were unable to use Liu Ren to directly capture the beacon tower.

However, being able to bring the Golden Crow Group, which originally had an advantage, back to the starting line is a decent result, even if it's a compromise.

……

[Hey streamer, don't you sleep at night?]

[Master, Master, why not show off the special skills of the Night Six Women?]

"What a load of rubbish! It's full of robots. I'm not some ultimate werewolf who wouldn't even miss a car's exhaust pipe. Let's just forget about this." Liu Ren commented on the live chat.

The entertainment district within the Skyhawk Gang's territory is really not very fun.

Of course, this is viewed through the lens of color.

From an adult perspective, retro game consoles are quite interesting.

The wine was good too.

The companion was also very dedicated and responsible.

"Go back and practice some more, bro." After standing up, Liu Ren patted the man next to him on the shoulder.

"One more round, I'm sure I can win this time!" The man grabbed Liu Ren's wrist suddenly, his eyes bloodshot.

"You've said that seventeen times already."

"As a seasoned and experienced player, it's impossible for me to lose nineteen games in a row in a street fighting game! I'll pay for your in-game currency if necessary!"

"Do I look like someone who's short of a few game coins?" Liu Ren silently pried open the fingers gripping his wrist, a look of satisfaction on his face, like an artilleryman firing the first shot on the first day of the new year. "If you're bad, go back and practice more! If you can't handle losing, don't play! Don't casually label yourself the 'King of Street Fighting Games,' you can't bear it!"

After hearing Liu Ren's words, the man's face turned bright red: "I'm not a sore loser! I've worked hard in arcade fighting games for ten years, why should I lose to you!"

"If hard work were enough, what would be the point of having geniuses?"

"The last round!"

"Come challenge me after you've defeated everyone here. You're not qualified to play a game with me right now." Liu Ren said disdainfully, returning the man's earlier words.

Leaving the man with a look of utter despair behind, Liu Ren turned and left the arcade, leaving behind an unfathomable silhouette.

[Brother Wendao, are you sure you didn't use cheats?]

I have a feeling the streamer has turned on his phone, but I don't know how.

[I noticed that too, and I even asked Xiao Yu to analyze it for me. The streamer hadn't even figured out the controls in the first few games he played. But in the later games, he completely dominated a veteran player.]

So what are the results of Xiaoyu's analysis?

[They say the streamer's reaction speed is extraordinary, so he used his incredible strength to smash that veteran player to pieces.]

【The Tamagotchi is open now, isn't it?】

If it were really going to open, it would have opened already.

There's still time left tonight, so what's next?

[The streamer just beat up everyone in the arcade out of boredom; I guess he's out of ideas for anything else.]

【Um... I just joined. Isn't *Eternal Night* a survival game?】

Why does this feel like watching a slice-of-life anime?

So, where exactly do the essential elements for survival lie?

Playing a game within a game—that kind of skill, in a way, is it?

The popularity of the live stream has not yet subsided.

So the people who came in later were all bewildered.

They all came because of the reputation of "Eternal Night," a game that claims to be "absolutely realistic," "realistically dead," and "ultimately surviving."

But after watching for a few minutes, all I saw was Liu Ren playing games—well, he was playing games in an arcade.

There wasn't a single exciting element of survival.

But soon, the trend of the comments shifted.

Out of the corner of Liu Ren's eye, he suddenly saw a figure squatting under a street lamp.

She had long, black hair and a slender figure.

He suddenly stood up after noticing someone approaching.

This scene elicited a conditioned reflex from many viewers in the live chat.

[I just said it was full of robots, and here comes the meaty stuff, doesn't it?]

No wonder it wasn't inside; it was outside.

【Wow, why is he still wearing a mask?】

[Uh, maybe it's some kind of special mood?]

Judging by her figure, this girl must be quite pretty.

[Her figure is quite ordinary.]

But can't you see how well-proportioned it is?

[Damn, Oni Takuma can judge a person's looks just by their physique.]

People with good figures are generally not bad-looking, even if they aren't.

[You lot, they're all wrapped up tightly, are your eyes X-ray machines?]

This is based on experience.

【really. 】

Damn, I wish I had that experience too. Why do you guys get it?

[Brother Lao, there are many brothers in the live stream, not all of them are as poor and penniless as you.]

[Please take back what you said. I'm fine with it, but my buddy saw it and he's a bit upset.]

"Wait, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand a single word?"

[That's all for you, go have fun!]

Damn, I'm twenty years old in Tamagotchi!

"Is it fun?"

"?"

Liu Ren was looking at the woman who had inexplicably appeared on the roadside with a puzzled expression, trying to figure out her profession by looking at the comments.

Suddenly, I was asked a question face to face.

"...Quite interesting?" Liu Ren replied after thinking for two seconds.

"I never expected you to be this kind of person." The masked woman's voice was clear and cold, giving off an impression of aloofness just from her voice alone.

"? No, what's wrong with me?" Liu Ren asked back with a bit of a laugh.

"Let's go to the entertainment district."

"So what? It's not like I spent your money."

"Lust is a knife above one's head."

"Damn it." Liu Ren finally realized what was happening, and cursed with amusement, replying, "They're all metal lumps in there, damn it! By the way, who the hell are you anyway, from the Sky-Piercing Gang?"

"I am not a member of the Sky-Piercing Gang."

"So those are people from other factions? What are people from other factions doing here? Don't they know it's a sensitive time?"

"Looking for someone," the girl replied succinctly.

"Looking for someone? Who?" Liu Ren had nothing else to do, so he chatted idly for a bit.

He felt that the masked woman in front of him was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why. He just felt that she was inexplicably familiar.

But that sense of familiarity was like an illusion, fleeting in an instant.
