The Madman

Many examinees had noticed Bo Shuo by now.

It wasn't for any particular reason other than his exceptionally handsome and stern appearance, coupled with an aura that kept people at a distance, making him look exactly like a top-tier player.

Seeing that Bo Shuo had no desire to engage with them, they wouldn't foolishly approach him. If they angered him, they wouldn't even have a place to die.

But even so, they still cast glances his way without leaving any trace.

They also noticed the youth's darkening aura, which was sharp, cold, and extremely dangerous, so fierce it was almost chilling.

His deep purple pupils were calm and indifferent, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, carrying the heavy deterrence of a top predator. If an ordinary person were stared at like this, they would likely be trembling and on the verge of fainting.

At this, the atmosphere in the venue became delicate.

The two C-rank examinees at the very edge tensed up, a silent sense of danger spreading. Even though the youth wasn't looking at them, this intense feeling, like having their necks placed under fangs, made them tremble.

After a long while, Bo Shuo finally shifted his gaze, feeling wronged.

A male partner is a male partner then. I'll just pretend I don't see it.

The male partner himself had no self-awareness. He walked up to Bo Shuo, a gentle smile on his fair face. "May I get to know you? My name is Xi Guici."

007 suddenly seemed to sense something and said, "Host, the scent on him is not right!"

To confirm its guess, the small light mass drew closer to sniff, then was so startled it bounced back two miles, its voice becoming panicked.

"He... he he! How does he have the aura of a god on him? And not just any god, but the one who cruelly killed all my previous hosts."

Hearing this news, Bo Shuo also stiffened.

What, what, what?

No way, I just left the newbie village and already met a big boss?

007 brought him even more unfortunate news. "With this concentration of aura, he's most likely that god's divine favor. If your identity is discovered by him, he will kill you himself!!!"

Startled by 007's words, Bo Shuo looked at the man who appeared approachable before him and automatically labeled him as dangerous. He didn't dare to interact with him too much, fearing that the man might snap and cut him down for no reason.

Xi Guici was unaware that Bo Shuo had already been frightened by him and was still patiently waiting for his reply.

After waiting for a long time, he only received a low, indifferent sound, "Bo."

The other party seemed unwilling to talk much. Those beautiful purple eyes, like jade, lingered for a few moments before carelessly moving away.

All that remained for him was the silk-like black hair and a faint, crisp scent of pine and snow that tickled his nose.

It felt like he had been ignored.

Xi Guici felt a tingling on his fingertips, and his eyes, hidden beneath his gold-rimmed glasses, flickered with heat. He heard his own heart beating rapidly, which had been calm moments before.

This was the excitement of meeting an equal. After just one glance, he recognized that the other person was like him.

The same kind of madman.

Bo Shuo cautiously retreated. Seeing that Xi Guici didn't call him to stop, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, my identity wasn't exposed.

Heaven knew how he didn't know where to put his hands and feet just now. Damn it, if Xi Guici had gotten any closer, he might have reacted instinctively and attacked.

Afterward, he was approached by the short-haired woman, Sang Yu. "Hello, Mr. Bo."

She had clearly paid attention to Bo Shuo's previous introduction.

As the woman moved a little closer, Bo Shuo could finally see her appearance clearly. There was a thin, long scar on her jaw, extending from the corner of her lips all the way to her neck, looking somewhat chilling.

Bo Shuo asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the youth's indifferent gaze fell directly on Sang Yu alone.

Before, the mere side-facing pressure had been enough for Sang Yu to handle. Now, being stared at individually, even though the youth was intentionally restraining himself, it was still unbearable for Sang Yu.

Sang Yu concealed the wariness in her eyes and stated her purpose for seeking Bo Shuo. "I want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?" Bo Shuo was even more confused. "With me?"

Bo Shuo's latter question was originally meant to express Why me?

But it was heard by Sang Yu as What makes you think you can cooperate with me?

Sang Yu's heart skipped a beat, realizing the importance of her answer. She began to choose her words carefully.

"I am very useful."

After clicking accept, lines of numbers appeared.

The most eye-catching was the skill at the very front.

Name: Shadow Escape

A stealth skill with extremely high potential, a short cooldown, and formidable attack power. It was considered one of the best among B-rank players.

Bo Shuo seemed to hesitate to speak.

Sister, you've come to the wrong person. I'm not a real big shot, I'm just the best pretender among these people.

Seeing Mr. Bo staring at her without speaking, Sang Yu's palms grew sweaty, and a chill crept up from the soles of her feet.

She knew her actions were reckless.

As for the reason—Sang Yu looked at the light screen before her.
