Chapter 55 The Opposing Team and the Players
Seeing Bai Xi's dark expression, Jiang Lingyi held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Bai Xi glanced at Jiang Lingyi and rebuked her angrily.
"It's nothing, I just remembered something funny."
"What?"
"A certain Dark Sword was banned before it even entered the game."
"You son of a bitch!"
Bai Xi looked at Jiang Lingyi's unstoppable laughter, and after a long while, he sighed and finally stopped talking.
Oh well, let's smile. A smile is good, isn't it?
But... KP, you tricked me!
Being only allowed to bring worthless item cards made Bai Xi feel a sense of the unpredictability of life.
The good news is that the Sacrifice Blade mentioned earlier can be equipped.
Because in any sense, Serpes's sacrificial knife is considered a [worthless item card]. Although this worthlessness may be the priceless value of a priceless treasure, it is enough to know that this item can be used.
The problem is that Bai Xi can't wield the sword...
As for Seraphine's sacrificial knife, it really was just a sacrificial knife. It couldn't do any harm.
The damage was reduced significantly in an instant.
Oh well, there's no other way. I'll just have to try looking within the group and see if I can get a fruit knife.
With a sigh, Bai Xi finally resigned himself to his fate and clicked the "Ready" button. Seeing this, Jiang Lingyi also clicked "Ready," ready to enter the game at any moment.
[All players are ready]
[Module: The Million Mark Debtor Begins]
Then, the view before her eyes spun again, and Bai Xi found herself once more in that azure space.
At the same time... he saw his opponent.
There was only one person opposite, wearing a black robe, beneath which were a pair of pitch-black eyes.
The ID is 【白大雁】.
"Why was this guy allowed to bring his equipment in...?"
Bai Xi murmured, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied. Jiang Lingyi glanced at him and sighed.
"Don't you even read the game description? This match is asymmetrical."
After Jiang Lingyi's reminder, Bai Xi finally realized what was going on.
I opened the game interface, checked the rules, and understood them after a short while.
They play the role of the robbed party, while the robbers are represented by fixed character card templates.
Because it's an asymmetrical match, there's only one opponent. Furthermore, I'm currently in my original player state; I'll only don the default character skin after entering the game to avoid prematurely revealing my information.
In addition, they usually receive some help from mods to prevent the game experience from being too lacking or a particular faction from being too dominant.
Simply put, it's a balance patch!
"Okay, I get it. That explains why the other side was able to bring their equipment in."
Bai Xi grumbled on regretfully. Jiang Lingyi thought for a while and decided to ignore him.
Seeing that Jiang Lingyi ignored him, Bai Xi had no other choice but to stare at Bai Dayan opposite him. Bai Dayan met Bai Xi's gaze, remained silent, and lowered her head.
Subsequently, he silently equipped himself with the title "Priest".
Hey, you're showing off your title in front of yourself, aren't you?
Bai Xi moved his hand, preparing to equip his title of [Sword of Absolute Darkness], when he heard Bai Dayan's voice from the opposite side:
"...We'll meet soon."
"I look forward to that time, my friend, so please come find me soon, I have something to tell you."
Then, she raised her head, revealed a friendly smile, and the next moment, the white goose disappeared from the spot.
Bai Xi had just equipped the [Sword of Absolute Darkness] and was stunned by the situation. Before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Jiang Lingyi beside him.
"...Do you know him?"
Jiang Lingyi stared at the player Bai Dayan, whose figure had disappeared, and remained silent for a while before turning to Bai Xi and asking.
"Uh, do I know him?"
Bai Xi scratched his head and thought for a moment: "They probably don't know each other, right?"
"But it's also possible that he only knows me? Anyway... he's crazy."
He seemed somewhat uncertain in his answer. Seeing his expression, Jiang Lingyi sighed and said nothing more.
Continuing to ask will not yield any results.
Based on her understanding of Bai Xi, Jiang Lingyi could certainly see the gloom shrouding Bai Xi's eyes.
It was as if one sensed an impending storm and felt a sense of unease.
But since Bai Xi has chosen to answer me this way, then, just like in the past, there will be no result even if I keep asking until I get to the bottom of it.
Although they seemed incredibly close and worked together seamlessly as teammates, Jiang Lingyi knew that perhaps no other pair of best friends had a more fragile relationship than theirs.
Sometimes, it may only be one problem that can push a relationship into the spotlight.
Therefore, Jiang Lingyi will not dwell on this matter or pursue the issue to the end until it is resolved.
"It's snowing, Baek Hee."
Just as Bai Xi was pondering, he suddenly heard Jiang Lingyi's words. He paused, looked up, and gazed at the snowflakes falling in the azure sky.
At the same time, the azure space began to slowly change. A street filled with gloom appeared before Bai Xi's eyes, covered in snow everywhere, but without the joy of a snowy day, instead filled with a bone-chilling cold.
Soon, Bai Xi discovered the source of the chill.
Damn it, I'm only wearing a single layer of clothing, how can I not be cold?
No wonder he's a million-mark debtor!
Now, we're officially entering the module!
"It's so damn cold!"
With his teeth chattering in the cold wind, Bai Xi rubbed his arms as he quickly opened the panel in front of him and brought up the mission screen.
Then, KP's voice rang out again, explaining the current situation to the two of them.
[Main Quest and Module Information Added]
It is winter of 1923, and Berlin seems unusually cold this year.
On November 9, 1923, you walked the streets of Berlin, hoping to use your only one million marks to buy two loaves of bread, hoping to bring a little warmth to yourselves during these days of hunger and cold.
However, very unfortunately, while walking down the street, you were robbed by a man dressed in a black robe.
He moved with incredible speed, like a hyena, snatching that million marks from your hands... but that was your lifeline!
You can't even afford a loaf of bread now!
This happened just five minutes ago. Although he disappeared in a flash, you can be sure there's still time to find him—he shouldn't have gone far.
[Moreover, in the instant before he fled, you caught a glimpse of his appearance; it was strikingly handsome, and you're certain that when you see him again, you'll recognize him instantly.]
Now, let's fight to get tonight's bread!
Main Quest: Find the thief and retrieve one million marks.
[Additional Clue: The other party is a fast-moving individual dressed in a black robe. You vaguely notice that the other party's face looks almost like a dog's, and their skin is extremely rough, like rubber.]
