LGSG Chapter 47
by VolareShen Hua was shocked: “Big boss, there are NPCs everywhere outside!”
And the kind that suddenly goes berserk and doesn’t recognize anyone.
Xia Ran: “I know. But Mr. Xie’s place must be even more dangerous than here.”
Shen Hua choked.
He wanted to say that this riot might have been caused by the final Boss. After all, other players, including Shen Hua, still didn’t know what was going on.
But staring at Xia Ran’s distant eyes, Shen Hua’s heart suddenly twisted.
Because he suddenly realized that these human players didn’t hold much weight in Xia Ran’s heart.
At best, Shen Hua was considered a friend he could talk to.
Even so, it was still not as important as Xie He.
Xia Ran was saving them out of a natural sense of moral self-requirement. It was God’s love for the world, not putting them on an equal footing.
He wouldn’t change his mind about finding Xie He because of them.
Shen Hua was a very worldly person.
Realizing that he couldn’t dissuade him, he didn’t continue to increase Xia Ran’s ill will.
Shen Hua murmured, “Big boss, take care.”
He was still planning to follow Xia Ran’s game commentary after leaving the game.
Xia Ran gave a faint smile.
And Xie Qiao in the corner stood up.
“I’ll go with you.”
The girl said.
Xia Ran subconsciously refused: “It’s too dangerous outside.”
Xie Qiao sighed: “I have to find a way out for myself too. Besides, if something happens to you, my brother will go crazy. I can’t let things get any worse.”
The Xie siblings rarely reached a consensus on something.
And that was to find a way out of a desperate situation.
What’s more, once Xia Ran left, the balance between Xie Qiao, this little monster, and the human players would be broken.
At that time, Xie Qiao’s situation would not be much better than outside.
Shen Hua watched Xia Ran leave, his throat inexplicably tight.
Although players were being eliminated one after another.
But those were all uneventful deaths.
But so many people were suddenly left with only a few in the Ancestral Hall.
And the familiar big boss had left.
Shen Hua hugged his knees and sighed softly.
Fu Qu: “Scared?”
Shen Hua: “I just feel like it’s too sudden. People suddenly die, and suddenly we humans are at the end of our rope.”
Fu Qu had a cigarette in his mouth.
He didn’t light it, just bit the cigarette butt to ease his mood.
“Six-Sided Dice has always been like this,” Fu Qu said indifferently.
Shen Hua wilted.
Shen Hua said, “How can we escape the game?”
Fu Qu: “Clearing the game gets you a guaranteed 10,000 points. When you save up to 630,000,596 points, you can clear it.”
Shen Hua: “…”
Shen Hua raised his eyes in surprise: “How do you know so specifically? Can you clear it?”
Fu Qu lowered his eyes: “You’re always smart in places you shouldn’t be.”
Shen Hua: “I’ve always been smart! You’re calling me stupid again.”
The howling outside gradually subsided. Perhaps the NPCs gradually gave up after failing to break into the Ancestral Hall, or perhaps Xia Ran had led them away.
In short, it became quiet outside the Ancestral Hall. Quiet is easy to stir the heartstrings.
Someone was sobbing.
Shen Hua asked, “Then why don’t you clear it?”
Shen Hua was just asking casually.
In fact, there could be many explanations, such as Fu Qu knowing a big boss, or it being a common rule of the game.
But Fu Qu just admitted it.
He didn’t lie to Shen Hua.
Fu Qu raised his eyes: “Waiting for someone.”
Shen Hua: “Do you have a friend in the game too?”
His tone suddenly rose.
After meeting Fu Qu’s gaze, Shen Hua realized that his excitement was over the top.
Shen Hua coughed twice: “I also have a childhood friend in the game.”
Fu Qu: “Your Brother Fu?”
Shen Hua: “…”
Shen Hua felt disgusted: “What’s yours and mine? Why are you being so mushy? What’s going on?”
Fu Qu laughed twice.
“Have you two not been in contact for a long time?”
Shen Hua: “…”
Shen Hua: “How do you know?”
Fu Qu had stirred up some old memories.
Shen Hua leaned back, propping himself up with his hands, and said, “His name is Qu Fu, my childhood friend. We were childhood friends at first, but when we were twelve, his biological parents came looking for him. I never thought the fake young master plot in novels could happen to me. I heard his family is quite rich… Alas, your name is Fu Qu, and his name is Qu Fu, you two are both young masters, you guys are really fated!”
“But Brother Fu wasn’t as lucky as you. His biological parents were blinded by greed and only doted on that fake young master. They took my Brother Fu back but didn’t treat him well, they were crazy. That fake young master was still a green tea, he actually said he was afraid Brother Fu would steal his parents’ attention. As soon as my Brother Fu turned eighteen, they sent him abroad…”
Fu Qu stared at him: “You two haven’t seen each other since?”
Shen Hua: “…”
Shen Hua carefully recalled for a while: “Probably… not, right?”
Fu Qu’s voice sank: “What do you mean probably? Can your memory be wrong?”
But Shen Hua felt that the more he recalled, the more his mind seemed to be shrouded in clouds.
He shook his head: “I’m too busy with work, not to mention Brother Fu, I haven’t seen my family for a long time.”
Fu Qu bit the cigarette butt and muttered, “Is that so?”
“But…” Shen Hua said, “I remember Brother Fu told me about… Six-Sided Dice… No, that’s not right… We haven’t seen each other since we were eighteen…”
Fu Qu stared at him coldly.
The two players next to them noticed Shen Hua’s change.
But Fu Qu glared at them.
“He… he…” one player stammered, gesturing to Fu Qu.
Fu Qu remained unmoved.
Shen Hua’s feet were clearly bandaged and the bleeding had stopped, but at this moment, blood was constantly seeping out, staining Fu Qu’s clothes beyond recognition.
And on his abdomen, neck, arms, the back of his hands, and even his chest, large and small wounds gradually appeared, and blood slowly seeped from those wounds.
The time Shen Hua had resisted being assimilated by Six-Sided Dice was longer than he had imagined.
Fu Qu thought.
Fu Qu gently asked, “Shen Hua, is your work really that busy? Can’t even go home?”
Shen Hua lowered his eyelashes.
The face of the smiling, cheerful young man had gradually turned ashen white.
He said, “I’m… working many jobs.”
Fu Qu: “You know so much, but Shen Hua, you’re only twenty-four years old. You just graduated from college. How could you learn so much in six months?”
Shen Hua: “How do you know… I…”
That’s right.
He seemed… only twenty-four years old.
Why did it feel like he had lived for a long time and hadn’t seen his family and friends for many years?
Shen Hua wanted to recall the faces of his family and friends, but he found only a misty blur.
“Fu Qu,” his hand was bloody, grabbing Fu Qu’s sleeve, leaving a string of bloodstains on his clothes, “Should we know each other?”
Fu Qu: “Yes.”
Shen Hua: “Who are you?”
He wanted to find Fu Qu’s figure in his memory.
But now Fu Qu’s appearance wasn’t his own. His words and deeds couldn’t be found in the fog.
Fu Qu: “I said, I won’t change my name. I’m afraid you’ll forget me in the future.”
Shen Hua: “But you…”
Something vaguely wanted to break ground.
Shen Hua’s voice was hoarse.
“Brother Fu?”
Fu Qu: “It’s me.”
His head was splitting.
For some reason, everything in front of him was scarlet red.
Shen Hua let go of Fu Qu, wanting to wipe the dirt from his eyes with his hands.
But the more he wiped, the redder it became.
Vaguely, he could also smell the scent of blood.
Shen Hua: “Brother Fu… you… am I dead?”
He stared blankly, trying to distinguish the figure of his childhood friend from the blood-stained vision.
Clearly, it was a reunion after a long separation.
But they were already separated by life and death.
Fu Qu: “I said, once I return to the Fu family, it will be difficult to see each other again.”
Little Shen Hua stared at the tall Fu Qu.
He wanted to cry a little, but he was exactly at the age of youth and strong support.
So little Shen Hua said fiercely, “Then I’ll forget you.”
Twelve-year-old Fu Qu’s face suddenly darkened.
He said, “I won’t change my name, you won’t forget me.”
Little Shen Hua said angrily, “You’re going back to the Fu family, how is it possible not to change your name?”
Fu Qu: “I’ll reverse my name.”
Little Shen Hua chuckled.
He was amused by Fu Qu in the sadness of reluctance.
He said, “People only do that when making a vow, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone rushing to write their name backwards.”
Fu Qu nodded solemnly: “That way you won’t forget me.”
Shen Hua’s mood was low: “Will you still remember to come back and play with me?”
The Fu family was so rich.
In the future, Fu Qu would meet many, many outstanding people.
Fu Qu said, “My name is reversed, will the culprit still not remember?”
Shen Hua stared at the Fu family’s car driving further and further away.
His eyes were sore from being sprayed in the face by the exhaust fumes, and finally he burst into tears in the hot summer weather.
Twenty-four years old.
After the graduation ceremony, Shen Hua had a meal with his roommates.
He squatted drunkenly on the side of the road to hail a taxi.
A luxury car pulled up beside him.
Shen Hua murmured, “Are BYDs this high-end now?”
Fu Qu got out of the car.
The twenty-four-year-old who returned to the country was completely presentable.
Shen Hua, squatting on the side of the road, squinted for a long time.
He saw that Fu Qu’s face had turned dark.
He then said happily, “Brother Fu, long time no see.”
Twelve years old, Fu Qu was taken back by the Fu family.
Eighteen years old, Fu Qu went abroad.
Twenty-four years old, Fu Qu seized power and was finally able to return to China.
They had been in contact using electronic products all the time.
Occasionally, they would video chat.
But virtual images were ultimately different from real people.
Shen Hua gave Fu Qu a slightly drunken hug.
He smiled, “Welcome back.”
Three months later.
Shen Hua entered his first game of Six-Sided Dice.
It was thrilling but not dangerous.
After clearing it, he quickly contacted Fu Qu.
Although Fu Qu had never heard of Six-Sided Dice, he also helped Shen Hua launch an investigation.
Then he discovered that it was a survival game.
Anyone who was drawn into the game would die if they failed a level.
But as long as they sang all the way, they could redeem various rewards from the game.
After learning that the game would kill people, Shen Hua became depressed for an hour.
He said to Fu Qu, “Why am I so unlucky?”
Fu Qu was worried and smoked.
He also wanted to ask, “Why is this damn game so stupid?”
Shen Hua was so stupid.
Could he really pass the levels?
Shen Hua was depressed for a while, then said, “Brother Fu, put out the cigarette, okay? I’m afraid I’ll be poisoned by secondhand smoke before I even enter the game.”
Fu Qu: “…”
Fu Qu couldn’t hear Shen Hua say the word “death” now.
He obediently put out the cigarette and said in a deep voice, “I’ll think of a way.”
Shen Hua quickly cheered up: “It’s okay, Brother Fu, I can do it!”
He can my ass.
Fu Qu quickly found a way to enter the game.
As long as he was near death, he could trigger entry into the game, and be eligible to be reborn round after round.
After Shen Hua learned that Fu Qu had entered the game, he was rarely nervous for a while.
He put his arm around Fu Qu’s shoulder and shook him hard: “Brother Fu, don’t worry! You enter the game with me, I’ll take care of you!”
Fu Qu: “Okay.”
The first instance Shen Hua entered was too simple.
He didn’t establish vigilance and precautions.
Later, Shen Hua died.
He died in front of Fu Qu.
Later, Shen Hua was assimilated into an NPC by the game.
He went to many instances.
At first, he could still recognize Fu Qu.
Gradually, his memory also became blurred.
Fu Qu was bloodthirsty.
He didn’t know if he could still be considered human.
Because he was always in the game.
Fu Qu’s lifespan was getting longer and longer, to the point of being non-human.
He also gradually gained abilities.
Killing the instance Boss would grant him the Boss’s authority.
Fu Qu gradually had an idea.
Was it possible that the more authority he seized from Six-Sided Dice?
He could replace Six-Sided Dice.
Then… revive his friend?
Fu Qu didn’t know.
His points had been accumulated for as long as his life.
No, perhaps he had long become a monster.
Fu Qu took out the card that Gu Qiufeng had given him.
The card was filled with soft light.
The soft light slowly absorbed Shen Hua, and finally the card disappeared.
A small wooden puppet fell into Fu Qu’s hand.
Shen Hua’s soul was preserved inside.
He would finally no longer be controlled by Six-Sided Dice.
But… it wasn’t enough.
Fu Qu wanted to bring Shen Hua back to life.
He had to seize the authority of the instance Bosses step by step.
Including this Mr. Xie.
Fu Qu raised his eyes, and gave a bloody smile to the other two players.
“Now that the instance monsters are in a melee, we can take advantage of the mutual loss, kill Mr. Xie, cause the instance to collapse, and clear it.”
