Other Players

Amusement park ▪ Eternal Night City.

"Looks like we've got a pretty good Teammate. How about we consider bringing him over?"

In Gazebo tucked away in a corner of the amusement park, a few figures were scattered about. At one moment, a gray pigeon fluttered towards the Gazebo.

As the pigeon flew outside Gazebo, a hand reached out from inside, and the pigeon landed on the outstretched arm.

After gently stroking the pigeons a few times, the man with a faint scar near his eye turned around and asked a blond, blue-eyed Young Man sitting in the Gazebo.

"Judging from the previous situation, the other party doesn't seem to be an idiot."

"We don't need weaklings here."

Before the Blond Young Man could reply, a tall, aloof Woman, sitting on the far right of the Gazebo with a sword in her arms, spoke coldly.

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet? Better to have none than something subpar."

"Well, I think it's better not to be too arbitrary in everything. There's no such thing as being afraid of a rope for ten years after being bitten by a snake once."

Sitting at a table in the Gazebo, Effeminate Man with effeminate features and uniquely Slitted Eyes smiled and spoke.

"To clear this Dungeon, some help is absolutely necessary. At least this new Player didn't end up like those fools before, rushing out of the amusement park and turning into a pile of Dry Bones, right?"

"..."

Clearly somewhat wary of the Slitted Eyes man, the Woman frowned slightly and turned away, remaining silent.

"Let's settle on that."

West Pavilion Gardener laid out a row of Gray Coin on the table and then quickly put them away, nodding noncommittally.

"We don't need to spend too much time in this Dungeon; it's a good thing to leave sooner."

"Then it's settled."

He didn't intend to participate in the discussion. After the others reached a conclusion, the man standing by the Gazebo nodded and then released the pigeons he was holding back into the air.

About ten minutes later, led by a gray pigeon, two figures walked towards the Gazebo.

"Foreigner?"

As Bai Zhi stepped into the Gazebo and looked at the other four Player gathered Gazebo, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

At this moment, besides him and Xu Lian, who had just arrived guided by the pigeons, there were four other Player in the Gazebo, fewer than he had expected.

His deduction was correct; the incident at the amusement park entrance where pigeons were deliberately pushed out of the amusement park area and turned into Dry Bones was indeed man-made.

Among the four Player gathered in the Gazebo, the most eye-catching one was not the male Player with a pigeon on his shoulder, a scar at the corner of his eye, and a slightly fierce appearance, nor the cold-faced beauty sitting aloofly to the side with a sword in her hand, but rather the Blond Man who clearly sat in the main seat and seemed to hold a leadership position in this temporary four-person team.

--Judging from their appearance, the other person is clearly Player from overseas.

"More or less. I come from the Blood Cross Society of the West. You can call me West Pavilion Gardener."

Seeing the young man sit down directly at the table, a strange light flashed in West Pavilion Gardener's eyes, and he nodded.

"As you can see, I am indeed a Player from abroad, but in the face of this global crisis, the distinction between countries and regions isn't really that important, is it?"

"The Blood Cross Society... may I ask you a question?"

Bai Zhi frowned slightly, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious.

"Of course, if this question is bothering you, you don't have to answer it."

"Feel free to ask."

With a slight smile, West Pavilion Gardener maintained a remarkably composed demeanor.

"How do you foreigners laugh?"

"Uh... is this question important?"

Completely taken aback by the strange question the other party would ask, West Pavilion Gardener was quite stunned.

"Of course it's important."

Bai Zhi nodded solemnly.

"I'd like to ask, when you laugh, is it 'hahaha' or 'happyhappyhappy'?"

West Pavilion Gardener: "???"

"Puff..."

Just imagining a group of foreigners laughing and making "happyhappyhappy" sounds in her mind made Xu Lian burst out laughing.

... Then everyone else, including Bai Zhi, immediately focused their attention on her.

"Cough cough."

She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, coughed a few times, and then turned Xu Lian head to look at the scenery as if nothing had happened.

"..."

In this huge amusement park, there could not possibly be only six Player gathered there, and the temporary teams spontaneously formed by the Players could not possibly consist of only West Pavilion Gardener and his team.

The male Player ID [Dugu Nine Warships]. Because of his deliberate warning at the amusement park entrance earlier, Bai Zhi had a pretty good impression of him.

The Blond Man from abroad, Player ID was [West Pavilion Gardener], was also sitting at one side of the table. There was another Effeminate Man with unforgettable, effeminate features Slitted Eyes, Player ID was [March-shi].

As for the Woman sitting far away with a cool and aloof demeanor, she happened to be an acquaintance of his, one of his Teammate he had met at the Orphanage before, with the Player ID [VerdantRipple].

Because this trip to the Inner World used only real appearances, he might not have recognized the other person if they hadn't shown their Player ID... Speaking of which, how much Game Coins does that person owe him again?

While silently calculating these things in his mind, Bai Zhi also readily revealed his Player ID. When the other three saw his Player ID, their expressions did not change, but VerdantRipple's expression changed slightly, clearly indicating that she recognized him.

Coincidentally, the four people in front of him, including Bai Zhi, only showed their Player ID and did not choose to display their Level as well.

After all, this is the so-called Inner World, not Mandatory Quest assigned by the system. Without gaining enough Trust, it is necessary to keep a backup plan. This is a level of vigilance that a Veteran Player must possess.

However, when it was Xu Lian's turn...
