Chapter 282 - 282 281 Can We Still Continue Playing
?Chapter 282: Chapter 281: Can We Still Continue Playing? Chapter 282: Chapter 281: Can We Still Continue Playing? After Liao You left, Fan Ye and the others gathered around.
Yue Xiao asked, “What task do you think they’ll assign us this afternoon?”
Luo Ning replied, “If nothing unexpected happens, they might hire us to unlock the largest arms warehouse.”
Dealing with zombies was already tough, and now with the addition of mutant plants and animals, the base’s demand for weapons would only increase.
After all, no one would let Treasure Mountain sit idle, so even though they might still be uncertain about their identities, they had no choice but to use them.
Fan Ye and the three others said happily, “That’s great, we finally won’t have to use kitchen knives and watermelon knives anymore.”
Bo Xuan threw cold water on them, “Even if you change weapons, it’s Brother Ning who’s changing, what does it have to do with you?”
Fan Ye and the three others: “…” This time, it wasn’t about intelligence that they felt insulted, they felt like they were being called losers.
“Brother Ning, whether we can change weapons depends on you,” the three turned their heads and looked pitifully at Luo Ning.
They also knew that Bo Xuan was right, the base needed Luo Ning who could unlock smart locks, not them, the expendable laborers.
They suddenly felt the cold hostility of this world. Could they still carry on competing joyfully?
Luo Ning couldn’t help but smile, “Alright, I’ll try to put in a request for you.”
Fan Ye and the others revealed bright white teeth, “Brother Ning really is one of the boys.”
If it weren’t for the distinction between the sexes, they would have wanted to drape an arm around Luo Ning’s shoulder and call each other brothers.
Luo Ning gave them a look, “Who’s one of the boys? I am a girl, thank you!”
The others: “…” She was certainly a girl, but they could no longer regard Luo Ning as the beautiful girl they met initially.
The so-called girlfriend material was all just a deceptive illusion.
A girl like Brother Ning, they felt, was only to be admired from a distance and not toyed with.
For dating or marrying such a girl, the pressure would be too much, something they could not handle.
So it was better to stay as brotherly friends.
At the same time, all four of them mentally lit a candle for their good buddy Ji Er once again, if he continued to chase after Brother Ning after they returned to their country, then they would be impressed.
But they all felt that Ji Er wasn’t good enough for their Brother Ning, even though he was a close buddy, they couldn’t lie against their conscience.
Yue Xiao changed the topic, “So, do you guys think any teams will come to us to buy clues after the broadcast today?”
Bo Xuan replied, “Not likely today, those teams need to keep trying and failing before they become desperate enough to come to us.”
“I estimate the earliest would be tomorrow or even the day after.”
Luo Ning nodded, “I agree.”
The base was still being established now and because it was previously a military zone, many areas were restricted.
Therefore, the group didn’t go out and wander, instead, they rested at their lodging.
Fan Ye yawned, “So boring, if only we could play some games.”
Luo Ning said, “Then play a game. I saw you guys pick up phones in the lab.”
Fan Ye looked puzzled, “How can we play without an internet connection? And we don’t even know if we have any familiar games on these phones.”
Luo Ning chuckled, “We can’t connect to the internet, but we can play a local multiplayer game.”
She took out a phone which had a very popular real-world tower push game installed on it.
“You guys probably have it on your phones too. The organizers wouldn’t have had time to differentiate the content of every single phone, probably all the stuff on it was batch processed.”
Fan Ye and the others also took out the phones they had collected from the lab and upon checking, they indeed found it was true.
Each phone had a different random wallpaper, but the number and types of apps were the same.
“This game needs an internet connection, there’s no local multiplayer,” Fan Ye opened the game, and as expected, it couldn’t connect.
Luo Ning took out an ultrathin laptop she had picked up, then connected the phones and modified the game’s program and system.
Moments later, she unplugged the phone cables and said, “Should work now.”
The others were dumbfounded, “That’s possible?”
Luo Ning raised her eyebrows, “Why not? Any objections?”
“No objections!” And they didn’t dare to have any.
Fan Ye launched the game and this time, he actually got in, then local network options appeared.
The other three did the same and all simultaneously grimaced, “…”
That was unexpected, quite impressive!
Looking at Luo Ning, Fan Ye exclaimed, “Brother Ning, in my life, I used to only admire my old man, and now there’s you.”
This was astounding, being able to modify game program systems and turn online games into local multiplayer games.
Jin Feiyang was now utterly impressed by Luo Ning, “Yeah, Brother Ning, even gaming you can modify, is there anything you can’t do?”
“Of course, I have things I can’t do,” Luo Ning said with a smile while starting the game, “Let’s play.”
She used to enjoy gaming in her spare time, and in a Little World, she even participated in an esports team and international competition.
The group perked up immediately; since entering Apocalypse City, they were all under a lot of stress, and now was the perfect time to relax.
“How do we split teams with only five people?”
“I’ll go call another person to play,”
Fan Ye got up and went next door to call someone; a few soldiers who had come back with them the previous night were staying there.
He soon called someone over, making it a perfect three against three.
Then Luo Ning and Bo Xuan were forcibly split up by Fan Ye and the others, not letting them be on the same team.
They couldn’t be sure if Luo Ning knew how to play, but if these two high IQ individuals teamed up, it would be disastrous for them.
Thus, Luo Ning teamed up with Yue Xiao and the person who was just pulled in, while Bo Xuan, Jin Feiyang, and Fan Ye formed the other team.
Fan Ye said with a smug smile, “Back when the three of us joined forces, we were practically unbeatable in our district, so watch out.”
He was confident in any other area, but when it came to gaming, he and Jin Feiyang were pros.
Bo Xuan was a bit weaker at controls, but he could compensate with intelligence, often setting traps and bluffing, so he was also strong.
Yue Xiao rolled his eyes, “Look at how smug you are, be careful or you’ll sprain your tongue.”
He wasn’t sure either if Luo Ning could play, but still turned to say, “Brother Ning, lead us to victory!”
Luo Ning nodded with a smile, “Sure, daddy will take you for a ride.”
The players quickly selected their champions and started the battle.
The organizers’ live broadcasting was quite advanced and projected the game being played by the group directly onto the broadcast window.
It was like watching an esports competition, except for the lack of a commentator.
After a series of five games, Fan Ye, who started off smug and proud, was now wearing a bitter face.
In the sixth game, Fan Ye wailed, “Damn, Brother Ning, you got a triple kill as support, are you kidding me? This is too much, can we even keep playing?”
“Brother Ning, you’ve thrashed us in the last five games, give us a break this time,” Jin Feiyang also pleaded.
They were supposed to dominate the game together, right?
Who knew they’d be crushed to the point of wanting to cry, not just a defeat, but a crushing defeat…
