Tl: I just realized the gaming hunter of last chapter referred to player killers rather than those that relish the hunt inside games.\nāWe are arriving at the riverside, we are about to landā¦ā
Shizuka drove the humvee onto solid ground.
Feng Yu Chen and Zi Yue Ling exchanged glance, they were wary of each other, the appearance of game hunter (Tl: game refers to players in this case) has made them lose faith in each other.
āI think we need to talk, at this point if we donāt we wonāt be able to cooperate properly!ā
He took the initiative to pop the question, to ask him to kill her right here right now would be a bit hard, he doesnāt plan on turning his back on humanity and turn into a men slaughtering demon, what he needs right now is an assurance in the form of mutual trust and acknowledgement.
She nodded and responded in a similar stern way.
āVery well, we have a lot to talk about anyway.ā
Saeko noticed the thing going on between them, she could feel somekind of conflict going on between the two. But the two only met recently is it not? Why are there suddenly hostile against each other?
The two got out from the humvee and walked to the side where Saeko couldnāt hear what theyāre going on about.
Takashi is befuddled at Feng Yu Chen and Zi Yue Ling.
āSenpai, whatās going on?ā
āWho knows?ā
Saya shurrged while pushing her glasses.
āMaybe something happened between them, their phone rang the two instantly raised their guard against each other, itās probably something special, I canāt say for sure though.ā
Saeko interjected.
āItās nothing to worry about, Yu Chen could probably handle it by himself.ā
āYu Cheng, thatās a rather intimate way of calling him innit(Tl: first name basis), Saeko-chan?ā
Shizuka the cow tits ditz teased her.
Saeko blushed slightly, she didnāt deny it though, the two being a thing is probably know by others from the group already, maa itās definitely known.
If one were to ask her why she likes him, she will say itās probably because she feel they share a thing together, whenever males looked at her they would be terrified, heās the only one who would interact with her in a straightforward way. More importantly, even when he saw the dark side of her, he still likes her for what she is, maa, heās pretty blood thirsty as well, that ruthlessness, that indifference, how it fits so well with her.
Birds of a feather flock together or so the proverb goes, this is probably the reason they met and got together, they are both existences that felt much catharsis in carnage, the both of them.
ā¦..
Zi Yue Ling took a look at the frosty Feng Yu Chen in front of her, she calmed down and made eye contact with him.
āWeāre both reasonably smart person here, Iām a bit keen I will admit, but I canāt slid past your radar, please donāt act so wary with me. Yes, I had the urge to backstab you but I gave up the thought, Iām not your opponent.ā
He took out the Iphone5 and took a glimpse of it.
āThe blood red messages here are as real as they can get, rather than sowing the seeds of destruction it would best to get rid of the problem at hand at the root.ā
Sheās not afraid, although he is implying violence his action says otherwise. If he wanted to kill her, he would have done that before this, seeing that heās yet to do anything, this signals to her that heās not planning to go back on his decision for the time being.
āA tumor like me wouldnāt do you much harm, your strength is not to be trifled with, and by your side is a strong woman, if I do anything fishy, she would make short work of me before you could isnāt it?ā
āI think we can reach an agreement here, think about this, I will do anything you say, barring some questionable request of course. After killing 100 zombies, I will leave this world at once, no strings attached, and once Iām back I will pay you money, houses even cars, Iām not a very wealthy nouveau riche, but Iām a high ranked manager inside a perfume company, I do have a bit of fortune stashed away.ā
He grinned and shook his head.
āDo you really think those things are still relevant to me? After you finish this mission you will know that we have got ourselves onto the path of infinite evolution, money and fortune might as well be manure to us, your offer is not sufficient for me to trust you.ā
She frowned at him.
āFine, one more provision, I will tell you about a few secrets of the Iphone5 within our hands, you probably wouldnāt be privy to some of thing I have found probing the phone these few days.
1: Hiding oneās name and identity, in the last page inside the phone, there are biographical notes of oneself, opening it would allow one to change oneās name and edit as well as hide information. By modifying the information one could hide oneās true name on the ranking list, this would save a lot of trouble wouldnāt it? Every time something big happens the System would do wide notification, if people know your information thenā¦
2: Friendlist, on the second page is a friend adding function, with this one could establish a line of communication even if the two party are far and wide apart. This is a very useful feature for groups, I conjectures that this function would still apply even if we go back to reality. If you want we could add each other later.
3: Map minimization, thereās a Earth symbol at the top right corner of the first page, click it and a map would pop up, it will display surrounding 100 meter, I guess this range would increase in later part of the game, or maybe it can be increased as a reward for completing special missions. Iām sure you can find utility in surveying the surroundings yes? The Infinite System has already informed us of all we need to survive, we just havenāt done the exploring, I relied on this to escape the pursuit of a large amount of zombies, white dots are neutral, blue = allies, red = hostiles.
4: System shop, on the bottom right of the 2nd page is a small shop symbol, Ā I took a look inside and thereās a lot of gray locked items inside, I suppose these items are sealed for the time being, maybe if we finish the mission or get out of this world we would find some clue on how to use them, again its benefits are self explanatory.
5. Contract system, 2nd page bottom left is a scroll symbol, I took a look at that as well, itās probably set up for us players to form temporary agreement, packing up by contract, I havenāt tried it but if itās for forming team, thereās probably a function that makes friendly fire impossible ya? Some web games have this kind of setting so I should expect that they would as well.
There, Iāve told you everything I know, these information should be able to assist you in a lot of things yes? People like you who are strong enough usually overlook the devil in the details, specifically the various functions of the phone, and now that you are aware of them I suppose they would contribute a lot to your infinite development no?ā
Listening to her, he took out his phone and confirmed everything she said, thereās no misstatement, everything checks out. He didnāt inspect it closely and as a result is ignorant to the various life saving functions it contains. It seems the woman before him is no simple collected and smart person. To think she could respond in such a way in a situation where zombies are around every corner, very impressive, very sharp indeed.
