[111111]: What a coincidence, I also met a lunatic today!
Shi Yao never expected that Mister Numbers would be the one to reply to her.
She had been acquainted with Mister Numbers and the others for about two days now, and they had played more than ten hours of PUBG together, but this was the very first time heād talked to her.
Shi Yao stared at her phone screen incredulously, and after confirming three times that she wasnāt seeing things, she replied: [That sure is a huge coincidence.]
Shi Yao thought that the conversation would end right there, but to her surprise, yet another notification popped up on her phone screen.
[111111]: Yeah.
A single word. Even through the screen, Shi Yao could vividly feel the perfunctory intentions behind the message.
As expected of a master, even speaking to him required her to think hard. It was fortunate that he didnāt speak any more than that.
Even though [111111] didnāt respond to Shi Yao, the atmosphere in the chat group didnāt turn awkward. This was because [Expert of the Monkeys] joined in at this moment. [Sis Yao, Juice and I just ended our Duo match. Are you coming?]
It was still early, and there was still some time before her bedtime. Plus, she didnāt have any lessons tomorrow morning so she could sleep in. Thus, Shi Yao replied: [Alright, Iāll log in to the game now.]
As soon as Shi Yao logged on, a notification popped up on the screen:
[Juice] invited you to a team.
Shortly after entering the room, Shi Yao heard [Expert Of The Monkeys]ās voice, āBoss, weāre still lacking a player. Are you coming?ā
[111111] didnāt respond.
[Juice]: āCome and play two rounds, boss?ā
[Expert Of The Monkeys]: āYeah. Itās still early, what else are you going to do?ā
Perhaps it was just Shi Yaoās imagination, but there seemed to be something different with [Expert Of The Monkeys] and [Juice]ās tones today. It felt a littleā¦ a littleā¦ Shi Yao pondered for a moment, but she couldnāt find a suitable adjective to describe it.
They seemed to have convinced [111111] because Shi Yao could hear the vague melody of the gameās login BGM. 1 Following which, [111111] joined the team as well.
[Juice] started the game.
On the plane, Shi Yao noted that no one had marked down the jumping coordinates, so she asked, āWhere are we going to jump?ā
Ten seconds later, [Expert of the Monkeys] gave a brief reply, which was strange given his talkative nature, āPrimorsk should do.ā
Usually, when they played, [Expert of the Monkeys] and [Juice] would always have endless words to say, but todayās voice chat was unnervingly quiet. Even the usual tribute offering throughout the gameā āSis Yao, thereās a Med Kit for you here, come over and get itā, āSis Yao, thereās a Level 3 Military Vest here, come overā āhad lessened considerably.
