A Race to (Be) The Top - Chapter 32
“Get out of the way, let me deal with them, hit the dog and stick–“
Ling Xiaolu took the lead… was stopped by Ji Meng.
“You,” he scolded at the guards, “do you know how many people are outside?”
The dogs were stunned.
“There is only one colleague who stays at the door to charge fees. Do you think it alone can collect the visiting fees from so many people?”
The dogs panicked.
“If you can’t collect it, you will rush in. With so many people rushing in together, do you know how much money you will lose? Even if you can collect it, do you think it will fill your pockets, or will it be evenly distributed to every dog present?”
Dogs, look at me, I look at you, drop the gun and run without a trace.
Ling Xiaolu looked stunned: “That’s OK?”
“It should be temporarily safe here.”
“But I have to go out and show my face,” Ling Xiaolu said, “I am here only to explore the way. If you can’t find me, everyone will think I’m deliberately lie to them. Only if I am on the island, will there be more People landed on the island.”
“You will be stunned when you show up now. I’ll take you out.” Ji Meng turned to Lujiu, “You stay here.”
Everyone doesn’t know that Yunji has already escaped from prison, so it’s better to keep silent for the time being for the sake of a smooth escape.
Lu Jiu told Ling Xiaolu: “Pay attention to safety.”
Ji Meng’s flying dragon carried Ling Xiaolu through the tunnel exit and knocked over the passing crowd.
In order to let everyone see clearly, Ji Meng lingered in the air intentionally or unintentionally.
“See it! There!”
“Where is it?”
“On my husband’s dragon back, be with my husband!”
“I am confused. Is this the scene of offering a reward or a scene of catching rape?”
“Offer a reward, catch a traitor and catch it, kill a deer, grab a husband, take a bounty, let’s go!”
“Hold tight!” Ji Meng manipulated the dragon to toss up and down, avoiding wave after wave of long-range attacks, his huge body was extremely flexible. And those skills that were blocked by its body could not cause the slightest damage like a milk cat scratching a person.
In contrast, Ling Xiaolu was not so easy. The air mounts were high and low, east and west, sometimes tossing, sometimes spinning, but also to avoid all kinds of flame, meteor and ice cone hidden weapons passing by. He hugged Ji Meng’s waist and closed his eyes tightly, wishing to bury his entire head in the opponent’s broad back, his mouth changed to match the direction of the dragon’s flight, making all kinds of strange sounds:
“Ah ah ah ah ah ah-
“Yeah yah yah yah ah-
“My parents–“
This is really the most embarrassing heroic feat ever. Ling Xiaolu put his head on Ji Meng’s back again, still unable to ignore the whistling wind in his ears.
“Is there enough people here?!” He didn’t dare to open his eyes and look.
Ji Meng steered the dragon around a huge 360 degrees in the air, dodge the attack while observing the surrounding situation.
“There are already a lot!” Behind them alone, there were at least hundreds of flying mounts chasing after them.
“Why the server is not bursting!” Ling Xiaolu roared wildly.
“I told you everything, it’s impossible to burst! … bow your head!”
Ling Xiaolu lowered his head subconsciously, and a group of bats flew head-on in dense, flapping the air with their wings, an extremely uncomfortable sound came from the eardrums, and many of them crashed and died on the dragon, crackling non-stop.
Oncoming new enemies flew in, flanking back and forth, cutting off Ji Meng’s path. He gritted his teeth immediately, and the dragon dived toward the ground like a high-speed rotating drill.
“Wow wow wow wow wow wow-“
Ling Xiaolu was turned so that his mind was filled with mud. He reluctantly opened his eyes and found in horror that the dark crowd on the ground was waiting for him.
Seeing that the dragon was about to collide with the ground violently, the crowds in the target area had begun to flee. The dragon head suddenly lifted, carrying the two people and flew upwards. Ling Xiaolu was torn by gravity and wind under high-speed movement. A numb, loss of consciousness.
“I—support—no—live—la—”
The speed is too fast and the wind is too strong, Ji Meng can’t hear it clearly.
“what?!”
Ling Xiaolu couldn’t hold on anymore, let go of his hand, and fell from the dragon’s back.
Ji Meng’s heart sank: “Lubi——!”
The fallen Ling Xiaolu’s mind went blank, and the killer’s bonus went to the killer. What about the one who fell to death? Should the bonus belong to the earth?
Ji Meng finally stopped his mount and turned to rescue him, but Ling Xiaolu’s falling speed was too fast, and he was unable to return to the sky.
A black shadow sprang out from the ground, and Ling Xiaolu’s falling speed suddenly slowed down. He regained his consciousness and found that he was hugged in the air by the dove, and the huge crow’s wings that were re-unfolding behind him were covered with dense and dark steel feathers, and the pieces were quenched with cold light.
“Monu-dove! Your feathers have grown!” Ling Xiaolu hurriedly cheered for the Lu-dove before he escaped the danger.
“Yeah.” Hao Jiu wanted to touch the other person’s head if he didn’t use both hands to hold people.
Seeing that Ling Xiaolu was unharmed, Ji Meng breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it.
“Stupid! This can all fall!”
Ling Xiaolu refused: “You are flying too fast! Roller coasters are not as fast as you!”
The people in the sky and on the ground witnessed the scene of Hao dove saving people with their own eyes.
“Great big, big devil?!”
“Didn’t he be sent to prison by Dad Kou?”
“How on earth did he get out? Isn’t the prison in the game claimed to be impenetrable?”
“I knew there was no room for people in the prison here! The guards are all dogs!”
“It’s over, I went to the valley today too, will the Great Demon Lord take revenge?!”
“My god! Crazy! How many people are there? You want money, don’t kill you!
“Don’t squeeze! Don’t squeeze! I’m almost squeezed into pizza!”
…
The island suddenly shook, a striking system announcement appeared in the center of everyone’s virtual screen, and everyone stopped.
[System Announcement] Due to the detection of too many online users in the Wuming Island area, exceeding the maximum load of the local area, in order to ensure the healthy operation of the game, a short server restart will be performed in this area after 60 seconds. During the server restart, players outside the prison will be randomly teleported to nearby towns. Players in the prison are requested to leave the scene as soon as possible. After the restart is complete, the prison’s access rights will be temporarily closed, and the visit service will be suspended until it is reopened after no fault is detected. Thank you for your cooperation, and the operation team apologizes for the inconvenience caused to you.
[System Announcement] Countdown to the restart of Anonymous Island, 60, 59, 58, 57…
“What do you mean? The server is about to restart?”
“It means that people outside the prison will be randomly transmitted.”
“Where are the people in there?”
“The people inside can only stay here and can leave after the overhaul is completed.”
“Why don’t you leave? Who wants to be trapped in jail?!”
【System Announcement】40, 39, 38……
The prison door opened, and everyone swarmed out. The dogs at the door were just busy collecting fees. They looked up and saw the ebony army roaring in, frightened.
Ling Xiaolu and his party also rushed out of the chaos. At this moment, the scene was chaotic, and no one had the intention to notice that there were three more people in the crowd that shouldn’t be there.
“What is a million walking? Let me show you ten million running!”
The cat tripped under the feet of the ten million runners, chirped, and fell.
“Woo…”
【System Announcement】18, 17, 16……
Ji Meng forcefully dragged the person up from the ground, took his hand and ran wildly in the direction of the prison gate.
“Let you scream!”
“All said that my feet are soft!”
Ling Xiaolu looked around and found that even the cat followed the crowd to escape.
“The cat ran away!” he exclaimed.
“Don’t worry about so much!” Ji Meng roared, when is the time, this person still has the heart to care about cats!
【System Announcement】10, 9, 8, 7, 6……
When the countdown was ten seconds, Ji Meng simply lifted the person up a few meters and leaped away.
“Where’s the monk dove? Has the monk dove keep up?”
“First care about yourself!”
The dove spreads its wings and glided low, one in each hand, and the two were sent to the door at the very moment.
“Successfully hit the base!”
[System announcement] 3, 2, 1. The server is restarting, please be patient…
…
The escaped trio met at the agreed place.
“Prison escape plan, success!” Ling Xiaolu raised his right hand and gave Lu Jiu a high-five. He wanted to do the same celebration with Ji Meng again, but the other party was unwilling to make the beginning.
“Huh, luck.”
“Don’t be angry,” Ling Xiaolu retracted his hand and comforted him, “This can also be regarded as a leak check for your server, right?”
“I will complain to the hardware team and let them upgrade the server immediately!”
“Thank you, little brother.” Hatou said.
“Don’t thank you, it’s not over yet.” Ling Xiaolu closed his eyes, “This is my first time in the game, so be lighter.”
Lujiu hooked his lips: “Okay.”
The knuckles wrapped in gloves gently stroked Ling Xiaolu’s neck, with a gentle touch, Ling Xiaolu became a ghost.
Ghost: It’s so simple
Ghost: I haven’t felt it yet
Ghost: So death is nothing terrible
Ghost: It’s fun to hold cards
Ji Meng: “…”
Ji Meng used the resurrection technique on Ling Xiaolu with a black face, and in the blink of an eye, he was alive and well again.
Lu Jiu took out all the bounty on Ling Xiaolu’s body, bidding farewell to the “reward” that accompanied him for many days, Ling Xiaolu was still a little bit sad.
“You directly transfer Ji Meng’s money to him, and you keep the share of Dou Zha for yourself.”
The pigeon was about to trade, and stopped again.
“Trust me so, are you afraid that I will take the money away?”
His words were directed at Ji Meng, and Ji Meng snorted coldly.
“It’s better to recognize you as a deer in exchange for ten million, and you don’t lose money.”
Lujiu smiled without saying a word and completed the transaction.
“You gave too much.” Ji Meng said after the transaction.
“Not much, exactly ten million.”
“The system deducts 10% and gives me nine million.”
“The rake counts me.”
Ling Xiaolu listened for a long time before realizing that the bounty would still be paid to the system. He called for Ji Meng’s help. Of course, he couldn’t let him post the money, and Lujiu was very poor. Ling Xiaolu slapped his chest: “Don’t fight, I’ll fill the money!”
Ji Meng looked at him contemptuously: “You? Rich?”
Ling Xiaolu turned out the bounty and counted it, which was more than two hundred thousand.
“Not enough for the time being, but I can make it up slowly.”
He sighed again: “But the house will be bought later.”
“Which house do you still buy if you live in my house?”
“I want to buy a house of my own, and let the rookie live in.”
“Are you still going to buy a house for him? Ah? Are you still going to live with him?” Ji Meng didn’t fight.
“What’s the matter? You don’t know how hard he was. He was crowded in the NPC’s house, which was only so big… and was snatched away by the scum.” Ling Xiaolu was also angry when he thought of this.
Ji Meng didn’t care about how Hajime was doing. He wanted to take people back, lock them up, and stay away from those inconsistent brothers, masters, and fathers, and even those who sever the relationship!
Lujiu watched the angrily two people quarrel, and gave up the explanation.
“Speaking of Dou Zha, I can’t forget about this this time, I must avenge Lujiu’s hatred!” Ling Xiaolu clenched a fist.
“It’s up to you?” Ji Meng didn’t want to praise Dou Kou, he just wanted to stab Ling Xiaolu.
“It’s certainly not enough for me to be alone. I decided, I also want to set up a family to compete with Dou Niwan!”
“You need at least ten people to create a family. Are you anyone?”
Ling Xiaolu raised his finger: “I, you…”
Can’t count it anymore.
“Why don’t you count me?” Unexpected speech.
“Punjab? I thought you were a lone ranger and wouldn’t want to join the family.”
“Didn’t you decide to set up a family to avenge me? How can I be absent.”
Ji Meng ridiculed: “Very well, the upper limit of the family is three people, and he is guaranteeing that no fourth person will dare to come in.”
“If you are scared, you can give up your position.”
“Why? He counted me first!”
“Sorry, he is the first to count himself.”
“It’s better than someone who doesn’t even have a name!”
“Don’t quarrel!” Ling Xiaolu interrupted them, “You can join Luji, but I have one condition.”
“Don’t do it to the family members? I understand this naturally.”
“It’s not.”
Ling Xiaolu was stern: “I want you, no, you two promise me that if today’s things happen again in the future, don’t put me in an eggshell for protection, and don’t let me watch you face it alone. Danger.”
He spoke word by word, sonorously and forcefully: “I know that compared with yours, my strength is too far behind to be worth mentioning. For you, whether I participate in the war or not will have no effect on the outcome. But even so, I am not worth mentioning. I don’t want to hide aside, be a young bird under your wings, a dangerous egg in your dragon’s nest. I also want to stand upright and do my best to fight alongside you.
“I’m still a newcomer, and I can grow, and I want to be as strong as you guys! If you have difficulties, face it together, die, die together! This is a game, what’s so terrible about death, I’m afraid of powerlessness. Like today The feeling of powerlessness, I never want to experience it again!”
He stretched out his right hand, palm down: “If you agree, join me!”
The other two didn’t move. Ling Xiaolu looked left and right, Ji Meng still had an expression outside of the situation.
Ling Xiaolu used his free hand to forcibly grasp Ji Meng’s hand and put it on the back of his hand, and then stared at the other side of the dove.
Ji Meng frowned, but did not withdraw his hand.
Under the mask, the moose dove curled the corners of his lips and put his hands on top of each other. The palms of the three people were on top of each other.
“I listen to you.” He uttered softly, pressing down hard with his three hands, and then raised it high into the air.
“Fight together!”
