After Genderswap Reincarnation, I Raised the Strongest Player - CH 16
Poor Kid
Her sudden change from attitude to momentum even made Ling Mo think for a moment that she had been taken away by someone.
But he didn’t resist, mainly because he didn’t want to hurt her, and besides… there were several girls with rifles.
And through his surprised look Xia Xinyan could guess what he was thinking.
After all, he just started playing the game so it is normal for him to not be able to react to many things immediately.
But she didn’t have the time or opportunity to explain it to him now.
“He’s a participant?”
The girls on the side looked at the two of them for a moment, then pointed to Ling Mo and asked.
Xia Xinyan continued to hold Ling Mo’s neck and said.
“I don’t know, but this guy is not fresh meat1 at all, so it’s definitely right to kill him, down with machoism!2 The world belongs to fresh meat!”
“That’s right!”
Xia Xinyan also showed a look of excitement.
“Hurry up and find someone else, leave him to me!”
“All right sister, be careful!”
The girls responded, turning around to leave.
Xia Xinyan immediately bent down and almost stuck to Ling Mo’s body. On the surface it seemed that she was exerting her greatest strength to strangle him to death, but in Ling Mo’s case she hadn’t used any of her strength on his neck—— at least at the present, and now he finally realized she was acting.
But acting is acting, being so close to her again still made him blush for a moment and his heartbeat increase, the soft touch coming from his chest was like a poison to him.
Addictive poison.
However Xia Xinyan didn’t let him indulge for too long, letting go of one hand and handing him a gun from an angle that those girls couldn’t see, whispering in his ear.
“Shoot immediately when they turn around, until we kill all of them.”
Ling Mo paused, then quickly reacted.
“Okay!”
The main show is finally here!
Time to kill!
…cough, this is not to say that he is eager to kill and is a psychopath or something. After all, those IPAs are all NPCs and he is in the mood for playing games, the biggest difference between VR games and ordinary ones are the sense of reality… or in other words, he just wanted to experience this novelty.
Seeing that the girls from the IPA had turned around from the corner of her eye Xia Xinyan immediately rolled over from Ling Mo and lay on his side, and he immediately raised his gun and aimed at the group without hesitation, pulling the trigger.
Xia Xinyan also aimed her gun at them, but didn’t shoot.
She intends to let Ling Mo kill as much as possible, so that she can get the points from the system. As for the income of game points, it is not so urgent in the early stages.
And completing dungeons isn’t the only way to earn game points.
Inside the forest the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. Ling Mo’s aim was good, killing all the members of the IPA within a single magazine.
A few seconds later they all turned into white light and disappeared, leaving only their weapons scattered all over the place.
At the same time, a sound appeared in Xia Xinyan’s mind… Frog’s reminder——
【Number of IPA kills: 5】
【Good start, host.】
‘Thanks for the compliment, Frog.’3
Xia Xinyan responded in her mind.
【…】
Ling Mo on the side was still a little surprised.
“They… died?”
Isn’t that too fragile?
The gun in his hand is not a large-caliber pistol, its power is limited, and all he hit was the body. Everyone got hit twice, so they shouldn’t die so quickly, right?
“This is the first dungeon, it’s normal to be easy.”
Xia Xinyan stood up from the ground, pulled him up as well and patted the ashes off his body, saying with a smile.
“By the way, i didn’t scare you just now, did i?”
“No, no…”
What she said reminded Ling Mo of the softness just now, and he couldn’t help but blush slightly.
“If it wasn’t for your quick response we might have all been beaten to death, right?”
He really didn’t notice anyone approaching them just now.
Xia Xinyan stared at him for a while, then said softly.
“Your coordination just now was great, and your marksmanship is really good.”
“Really…”
Lingo Mo immediately felt like he was flying, laughing like an idiot.
Xia Xinyan remained smiling.
At this moment, she suddenly lost the intention of continuing to complain about this guy.
On the contrary, she felt that he is a little pitiful.
It is precisely because she had no experience in dealing with this before that being casually praised makes him feel like flying.
No, to be more precise, he was basically never directly praised by a girl.
To be honest, she had some experience before, but it was basically tricks that girls used to chase her, even if it was a compliment most of it didn’t get to the point. If Ling Mo didn’t notice it, there wouldn’t be that kind of feeling.
On the contrary, this formed a misunderstanding in which made those girls think that Ling Mo was a difficult person to chase, and as a result fewer and fewer girls came to him later.
But in reality, this guy is just a straight man who doesn’t understand women.
So… now that Xia Xinyan found something to compliment him casually Ling Mo’s defense was instantly broken.
Really, the more she thinks about it, the more pitiful she feels.
Hmm… i should praise him more in the future.
While thinking about these things in her mind Xia Xinyan went over to search for the things dropped by the IPAs.
They are basically automatic rifles, and there’s a lot of magazines, which can be said to be a big harvest.
It’s a pity that the game inventory has not been opened yet so they can’t hold so many guns.
So Xia Xinyan simply took two, put away all the magazines and handed Ling Mo a rifle.
“We have upgraded our firepower now.”
Ling Mo took a gun to check it and suddenly said.
“If those enemies are all of this difficulty i think it’s quite easy for us to pass the level.”
Enemies who can be killed in one or two pistol shots can be fooled so easily… It feels like this dungeon is really a beginner level.
“No, it’s not that easy.”
Xia Xinyan shook her head and explained.
“The dungeon will become more and more difficult in the later stage, and the difficulty will probably increase in a short time.”
NPCs will die so quickly not because of the low difficulty, but because the game sets a gradual adaptation process for players. Even if you know that this is a game, if it is fully realistic the process of killing people will also cause physical discomfort and even make players afraid of this game. This definitely isn’t what the game wants.
Therefore, the killing process in the early stage of the game is very light, there is no blood, no corpses, not even severed limbs. But as the game gradually progresses these effects will gradually appear, like blood, corpses, etc., being applied to NPCs and even players.
And when the player realizes this, the cataclysm had already begun.
But now it can still be played as a game.
For example, the difficulty of the dungeon from easy to hard——
《Important news: The IPA has confirmed the list of participants and will start hunting them all soon.》
《Important news: Considering the risk, the organizer decided to terminate this reality show. The pick-up helicopter will arrive at the top of the mountain in one hour, please go there in time.》
《Current task: Go to the top of the mountain.》
TL notes
1. I don’t think i explained in the chapter before, but “Little Fresh Meat” is a Chinese Internet buzzword used to describe handsome young men. It is most commonly used to refer to male celebrities, particularly rising stars.
2. I know most of my reader aren’t native Americans, so maybe you don’t know but it machoism is the quality or characteristic of being macho, exaggerated masculinity.
3. Most of you should know, but when i use ‘ and italic means someone speaking in their minds.
Another chapter for today! Didn’t post anything yesterday ’cause i was hanging around at a friends house, and let me tell you, hardcore Minecraft is stressful, even more if you have to cooperate with another player to not let any of us die…
On another note, modded Terraria is a bitch, i was playing with a bunch of big mods blindly like Calamity and Thorium on the hardest difficulty and only after 60 hours i got to Hardmode, but it’s really fun.
As always, if you find any error let me know, i hope you had fun reading and see ya later!
