The Earth is Online

A week ago, the black tower sang a global song for him. Once it announced the player’s name, there was suddenly an update error and the black tower’s 4.0 version came to a halt, leaving a mystery behind.

It was this player called Mu Hui.

At the time, the Tang Mo trio thought that the name Mu Hui wasn’t finished. The black tower’s notification was suddenly stopped and it was possible that the player’s name had only been half broadcasted. Tang Mo didn’t expect...

“Mu Hui...xue? She’s a woman?”

Bai Ruoyao blinked. “Tang Tang, do you still have s.e.x discrimination? Why can’t she be a cute girl? Have you always thought of her as a man?” He grinned at Tang Mo with a ‘I didn’t think you were this type of person’ expression.

Tang Mo really hadn’t through the other person would be a girl.

The black tower suddenly gave a global broadcast, singing specifically for a player. Tang Mo hadn’t hadn’t been thinking about gender. He thought about the black tower 4.0 version and what the player had done to almost trigger the black tower’s new version update.

Tang Mo’s brain moved quickly. He had a vague guess but some things still couldn’t be explained. Bai Ruoyao needed to clearly explain the information.

Xiao Fu was also very curious. “What is the time leaderboard? The person called Mu Huixue, she is the first on this list. Killing a person will give a 10 minute break and killing more people... will get you on the leaderboard? Then she must’ve killed a lot of people.”

Tang Mo also wanted to know the answer to these questions. He looked up at Bai Ruoyao.

In the bright suns.h.i.+ne, the baby-faced youth grinned. “Do you want to know?”

Tang Mo noticed something was wrong while Fu Wenduo raised an eyebrow.

As for Fu Wensheng, he was too young and directly nodded.

“Then beg me.”

Fu Wensheng, “...”

This guy really was a snake!

Bai Ruoyao smiled and said, “Previously, you didn’t let me get near and also hit me with your weapons.” Fu Wenduo’s ability and Tang Mo’s parasol hadn’t hit this person but he wiped away tears that didn’t exist, looking like a bullied person. “If you want to know then beg me. Otherwise I won’t tell you.”

Tang Mo quietly looked at Fu Wenduo while Fu Wenduo stood up without changing his expression. The next moment, his body flashed and Bai Ruoyao’s fake smile instantly disappeared. He dodged backwards at great speed. Fu Wenduo waved his right hand and the dark shadow aimed at Bai Ruoyao, quick and merciless.

Bai Ruoyao kept dodging with no smile on his face. A short dagger with a strange shape appeared in his hand. The dagger collided with the black weapon, creating loud metal sounds. Tang Mo held the small parasol and joined the battle, causing Bai Ruoyao to be at a disadvantage. His sleeve was cut by the small parasol and he moved backwards, trying to open the distance.

Fu Wenduo actived decisively because he guessed this person was Bai Ruoyao that Tang Mo had once talked about. Bai Ruoyao’s actions in the Queen of Hearts’ Gem Corridor was known to Fu Wenduo. Such a chaotic person, he wasn’t necessarily an enemy but he definitely wasn’t a friend. There was no need to be merciful.

However, Bai Ruoyao’s skills were beyond Fu Wenduo’s expectations. Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo couldn’t kill him but he couldn’t escape like he wanted.

The three of them fell into a deadlock.

Suddenly, Bai Ruoyao moved sideways to dodge a bullet. He looked down at the child not far away. “Hey, little brother. You are going too far. Your brother and Tang Tang are hitting me and now you’ve joined in as well? Have you forgotten the joys and sorrows that we shared in the Gem Corridor, along with the good members of clearing the instance?”

Fu Wensheng coldly stated, “I forgot.”

Bai Ruoyao, “...”

A human that caused even Xiao Fu to feel disgusted, his popularity was too low.

If they fought again, Bai Ruoyao wouldn’t be able to run away but they couldn’t kill each other. Tang Mo put away the small parasol. “Are you going to say it?”

Bai Ruoyao wondered, “Aren’t you going to beg me?”

“You won’t say it?”

“Say please, Tang Tang.”

Tang Mo glanced lightly at him and turned to leave.

Bai Ruoyao, who was waiting for Tang Mo to beg, made a silly expression and hurriedly asked, “Don’t you want to know about the invisible people? In addition, there is Mu Huixue and the time leaderboard.”

Fu Wenduo told him calmly, “It looks like you don’t have a teammate.”

Bai Ruoyao didn’t understand the legendary stowaway’s words and cautiously asked, “So?”

Fu Wenduo’s lips curved. “You don’t have teammates, an organization or a strong information network yet you figured this out. We will soon find out as well.”

Bai Ruoyao snorted.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo completely ignored Bai Ruoyao and went away with Fu Wensheng. Fu Wensheng thought that asking this snake person for the information wasn’t a big deal but he was still a child. He didn’t ask the adults about the problem in order to not lose face.

Bai Ruoyao seemed to really not want to say the information. He stood at the intersection and watched as the Tang Mo trio gradually got further away. They were just about to leave the street when a helpless voice was heard, “Did I say I wouldn’t tell you? Hey, wait for me.”

Tang Mo’s footsteps didn’t stop.

Like Fu Wenduo said, Bai Ruoyao wasn’t in Tian Xuan, which was a strong organization with its own intelligence network. The information that Bai Ruoyao could gather, they would definitely be able to discover it. It was probably through luck that Bai Ruoyao was fortunate enough to figure out the important news so early.

“I was travelling from Shanghai to Beijing three or four days ago when I killed a person. In your words, I killed an invisible person...” Bai Ruoyao smiled. “He wanted to kill me. Do you think I should’ve let him kill me, Tang Tang?” He saw that Tang Mo was ignoring him and bowed his head to ask Fu Wensheng, “Little brother, do you think I should’ve been killed?”

Everyone ignored him. Bai Ruoyao laughed with amus.e.m.e.nt and continued. “At that time, I was walking on the road, eating a skewer and drinking beer. Suddenly, a person appeared beside me and tried to kill me.” This man’s words could be believed to a certain extent. Tang Mo listened as he continued, “This man was good. He was at least the level of the black tower’s second floor. He wanted to kill me and didn’t expect me to catch him in turn. Originally, I wanted to ask why he was attacking an innocent person. As a result, he was caught and asked with surprise...”

Bai Ruoyao sneered, “He asked, are you not a pig?”

Four days ago, Tianjin.

The smiling baby-faced youth heard the word ‘pig’ and his expression sank.

In this life, Bai Ruoyao was accused of being a snake. He had even been called a mouse, a bedbug and other names but he had never been called a pig! He immediately cut the man’s upper lip, directly frightening the man.

Bai Ruoyao wasn’t stupid. The other person suddenly appeared here without him noticing.

The man turned pale with fright as his lip was cut off. Bai Ruoyao patiently waited for the man’s lips to grow back and learned about the magical leaderboard from the frightened man’s mouth.

“The time leaderboard.” There was still a casual smile on Bai Ruoyao’s face but his eyes were serious. “Killing a person will give 10 minutes of rest. A pig is a person with no rest time on their body. Kill a pig and get a 10 minute break. People with rest time will have a gold number floating on their neck, counting down the time they have left.”

Bai Ruoyao stretched out a hand to Fu Wensheng’s neck. The child was first scared but didn’t avoid it. Bai Ruoyao saw that the child was actually so brave and gave him a look. He pointed to the right side of Xiao Fu’s neck. “Kill a player with rest time and in addition to the original 10 minutes, you can get half the time owned by the other person. There are 100 people on the time leaderboard and first place is Mu Huixue. She has a rest time of 260,000 minutes.”

Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed. “She killed more than 20,000 people?”

Bai Ruoyao laughed. “I don’t know. Perhaps she is a murderous crazy person. Hehehe.”

Tang M o thought for a moment, “What else?”

“That’s all.”

Tang Mo didn’t react for a moment. “...”

After a moment, he asked, “No more?”

Bai Ruoyao grinned. “No more. He was about to disappear and I definitely couldn’t let him go. Hehe, I killed him before he disappeared.

Tang Mo, “...”

Fu Wenduo, “...”

Fu Wensheng, “...”

The trio turned their heads away in a tacit manner, no longer looking at the baby-faced youth.

“You really used me and ran! Take some responsibility!”

Bai Ruoyao rushed after them.

Tang Mo didn’t know why this Bai Ruoyao had to chase him all the way to Beijing and even follow them. Whenever Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took the time to drive this person away, he would flee into the distance. Once they stopped, he would come back later.

There was no way to kill Bai Ruoyao. Tang Mo couldn’t use the A Fast Man ability again today. It would take them a lot of effort to kill Bai Ruoyao. In addition, the other side might have a means to save his life. Powerful players who could live to the present must have a means to save their life. Even if they died, perhaps they might be resurrected like Ruan w.a.n.gshu.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo looked at each other.

It was getting dark and the Tang Mo trio entered a hot pot restaurant to take a break. Tang Mo suddenly stopped at the entrance and looked at the baby-faced youth following them. He opened his mouth with a calm expression. “Why?”

Bai Ruoyao’s smile froze for a moment. He put his hands in his pockets and watched Fu Wenduo with a vigilant expression. He smiled and asked, “Tang Tang, why what?”

“You know that I’m not surnamed Zhao and also know about Mr. B. You must’ve met a player who partic.i.p.ated in the same a.s.sembly instance as me.” The planet was so big and the black tower games were big. It was reasonable to say that it was impossible to happen. However, this person was lucky like he said. He had a one in 10,000 encounter with Old Niao and w.a.n.g Yinggui and also met an invisible person in Tianjin, killing the person and obtaining intelligence. Tang Mo had bad luck while this psychopath was so lucky. “You know who I am and who he is.” Tang Mo was referring to Fu Wenduo.

“Then... why do you want to follow us?”

Tang Mo admitted that without the A Fast Man ability, he definitely wasn’t Bai Ruoyao’s opponent. However, there was Fu Wenduo. If the two of them joined forces, Bai Ruoyao couldn’t kill them. What exactly was Bai Ruoyao’s purpose?”

“I didn’t say it the last time but Tang Tang, you really shouldn’t have met me.”

Tang Mo’s expression remained unchanged.

Bai Ruoyao c.o.c.ked his head with his hands in his pocket. “I am following you... hehe, to find a chance to kill you.”
