Chapter 1124 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 47)
Miaomiao was a little confused. Were there experts lying in wait for them outside?
what's the situation?
However, since Brother Xie was unwilling to talk about it further, Miaomiao had breakfast first.
After breakfast, the two tidied up briefly and then prepared to go for a stroll to look for some games.
But as soon as they stepped out of the game building and onto the street, Miaomiao believed Xie Chenzhou's earlier words; there really were experts lying in wait for them outside...
During the day, the most players are looking for games, especially on streets lined with game stores. Normally, everyone's eyes should be focused on the games, but this time, they all subconsciously look at them.
Indeed, Miaomiao felt a dense throng of strange gazes surrounding her. Some people stopped to watch, some whispered among themselves, and others had greed and scrutiny in their eyes. In short, everyone who looked at her felt extremely uncomfortable.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
Miaomiao subconsciously moved closer to Xie Chenzhou and asked in a low voice, a sense of vigilance rising in her heart at the same time.
Xie Chenzhou took the opportunity to put his arm around Miaomiao's shoulder, protecting her to his side. His gaze quickly swept around the surroundings, finally settling on the giant electronic screen in the city center square.
That's why games are so despicable. The giant electronic screen was originally off, but now it prominently displayed his and Miaomiao's faces, so clear that even their subtle expressions could be seen, with a line of glaring gold subtitles scrolling below.
[Congratulations to the two players who broke the game record and earned 15 Warrior Stars in five days!]
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing understanding and seriousness in each other's eyes.
Mirror World finally made its move. Instead of taking direct action, it used this method to push them into the limelight and put the allure of "Warrior Star" in front of everyone.
This undoubtedly made them the target of public criticism, and their future days will likely be filled with unrest.
Xie Chenzhou tightened his arms, protecting Miaomiao even more closely, his tone cold and firm.
"Don't panic, I'm here. Let's find a place to hide and avoid being seen before we make a plan."
He knew that it was not a good time to linger, as the players who coveted the Warrior's Star would soon surround him.
Miaomiao nodded and followed Xie Chenzhou quickly toward the alley at the street corner.
For the time being, those people dared not come forward, so they were relatively safe. As the discussions and footsteps behind them gradually faded away, their world finally quieted down.
Now it seems that the mirror world's counterattack is far more direct and insidious than they imagined.
"We won't have a moment's peace until this electronic screen is removed."
Miaomiao frowned.
"This game is so despicable. Since they can't do anything openly, they resort to these underhanded tactics. It looks like a blessing, but it's actually a death sentence."
Xie Chenzhou looked down at her tense profile, then suddenly curved his lips into a smile, his tone gentle yet firm.
"I could go out and give it a try. But if I get hurt, Miaomiao, you'd better take good care of me."
He appeared relaxed, but in reality, he had already planned everything out.
In terms of luck and combat prowess, these two are far beyond the reach of ordinary players; what we really need to be wary of is their sheer numbers.
However, in the mirror world, players are all struggling to survive. With more wolves than meat, there is already a lot of suspicion between them, so they may not be able to truly join forces.
Thinking this way, Xie Chenzhou didn't care too much. He just wanted to hold Miaomiao's hand and have more memories with her.
Are you scared? Maybe we'll have to fight. But I'll protect you.
Perhaps because Xie Chenzhou's voice was too confident, Miaomiao was not as worried as she had imagined.
"What are you afraid of? You're just afraid I'll hit you too hard."
Even after leaving the alley, you can still see the huge electronic screen on Game Street, with two people holding hands and the number 15 written between them, which is too eye-catching.
Unlike before when players didn't react in time, this time the two were surrounded by a group of players as soon as they stepped out of the alley.
The leader was a sleazy young man with rolled-up sleeves revealing several hideous scars. His eyes were fierce and greedy as he looked at them.
His name is Liu Mang. He came to the Mirror World after being hit on the head with a stick during a fight. However, he is quite clever, so he was lucky when looking for games in the Mirror World, and he found games that required physical strength.
I've already narrowly won three games so far. Although I haven't received the Warriors Star yet, I've at least gained 18 days of life.
With his brute strength, Liu Mang was quite well-known in this area. Seeing that Xie Chenzhou and his companion seemed easy to handle, he took the lead and blocked their way.
He doesn't have much time left to live. Apart from his brute strength and a bit of luck, he might die in the next game.
He was determined to get his hands on this Warriors Star, just like when he wanted something, he would snatch it if necessary.
"Hey you two, give me nine Warriors Stars."
Liu Mang spoke arrogantly, showing no sign that his demands were excessive.
"I have one in my hand, you just need to give me nine."
You guys are so amazing, I'll give you another 10 days, and you'll definitely be able to save up enough.
"If you don't give it to me, my fists can send you to meet your maker right now. Pretty good deal, right?"
That was truly shameless, leaving Miaomiao speechless.
Miaomiao was surprised that the other person was still talking non-stop, and the topic even extended to herself.
"Look at the girl next to you, you might not even be able to protect her. If you don't give her to me, I might just take advantage of her..."
However, before the man could finish speaking, Xie Chenzhou's face darkened. He first shielded Miaomiao behind him, then moved swiftly and delivered a powerful punch straight to the man's chin.
Liu Mang had never seen anyone so lacking in martial ethics. How could they start fighting before they had even finished discussing things? Caught off guard, he was sent flying by Xie Chenzhou and crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Liu Mang, OUT!
"court death!"
Upon seeing this, the man's companions immediately grabbed iron bars and stones from the roadside and surrounded him. Some lunged at Xie Chenzhou, while others took the opportunity to circle around to the side, intending to attack Miaomiao.
In these people's eyes, the girl looked frail and was being held behind the man, so she was probably being protected. Compared to the man's fighting ability, she should be weak enough.
But they never expected that Miaomiao was no pushover either.
Facing the player rushing towards her, Miaomiao sidestepped the iron rod, grabbed the player's wrist with her other hand, and with a slight force, a soft "crack" was heard, accompanied by the player's scream, and the iron rod fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, she kicked another person in the knee with a swift and decisive motion.
Xie Chenzhou, on the other hand, was even more at ease, forcing the group to retreat step by step with his bare hands. His punches were fierce, and every move was aimed at vital points.
The two fought and retreated in perfect coordination, quickly taking down most of the players who surrounded them.
Seeing this, the remaining people all hesitated, unwilling to give up the temptation of the Warrior Star, yet wary of the two's strength, and dared not step forward rashly.
Xie Chenzhou took a yellow marble out of his pocket and threw it into the distance. People saw it and started running frantically in that direction. Some even picked up the marble and tried to run away but failed.
As a result, the group that was separated fought tooth and nail over a single marble, resulting in bloodshed and teeth flying everywhere.
Xie Chenzhou did not take the opportunity to stop his actions after throwing the marbles. Instead, he stood still and calmly, his gaze sweeping over the restless crowd. His voice was clear and composed, yet loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"If you want the Warriors Star, there are too many wolves and not enough meat; you won't get a chance at all."
It's better to conserve your energy for the game now and try to survive first.
Otherwise, even having just one is your original sin.
