Chapter 242 Team Up? Not Available for Now
The second floor of the villa.
The design of the second floor is not much different from that of the first floor of the villa. The rooms, arranged in a corner, look very luxurious in the corridor. There are beautiful and intricate crystal chandeliers overhead, and even the carpets underfoot are expensive wool carpets... Even Lu Chusheng had to sigh and say that Mr. Xiao, who had to leave temporarily, was indeed very powerful.
Strength in terms of wealth.
Unlike Lu Chusheng, who was cautiously observing his surroundings, Yu Shijiu seemed unconcerned about his environment. He walked down the corridor looking for his room, and just as he found it, the door to the room next to him, which was tightly closed, suddenly opened.
A somewhat familiar-looking male player peeked out from behind the door. When he saw Lu Chusheng, a smile suddenly appeared on his handsome but somewhat dark face.
"Captain Lu!"
The male player quickly opened the door, exclaiming with delight, "You're up here? Quick, quick! This is our room!"
For some reason, Yu Shijiu found the scene before him somewhat jarring.
Is the chandelier in the hallway too bright?
Yu Shijiu was somewhat irritated.
Compared to the male players' enthusiasm, Lu Chusheng, who was warmly welcomed, remained quite calm.
He shook his head, politely declining the male player's enthusiastic invitation, and said calmly:
"Wait a minute, I have something to do."
The male player was taken aback, then asked anxiously, "What else is it? It's already very late! It's past eleven o'clock—"
"Around 11 o'clock?"
Lu Chusheng frowned. "How could time pass so quickly?"
The male player shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know, but there's a clock in every room. I saw the time on the clock when I came up and found my room."
He came up at 10:56.
Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu lingered downstairs for a while, and now—
The male player glanced back at the clock hanging on the wall. "It's 11:25 now, Captain Lu."
Time seems to have flown by too quickly.
Lu Chusheng keenly sensed that the flow of time seemed a bit off, but He Lingling had said she would take Yu Shijiu to their room herself—
squeak-
The sound of another door being pushed open reached the ears of the three.
At the same time, a familiar face emerged from behind the opened door, the person's hair a messy, tangled mess, like an afro.
"Hey, hey, Shi Jiulu-ge! We're here! We're right here!"
Xu Han waved to them in delight.
Yu Shijiu's eyes lit up, and she broke free from Lu Chusheng's hand and walked towards Xu Han.
The male player who was interrupted looked rather unpleasant.
He looked at Lu Chusheng somewhat awkwardly, pursed his lips, and stood there waiting for Lu Chusheng's reply.
"We've already made plans, I'll be back soon."
After saying this, Lu Chusheng glanced at his hand that had been freed and quickly followed Yu Shijiu into Xu Han's room.
Behind them, the male player watched their retreating figures with some disappointment, then silently closed the door.
He soon heard his teammates asking anxiously from behind:
"So, did Lu Chusheng agree to team up with us?"
The male player's two teammates waited in the room for Lu Chusheng to return, and they waited for almost half an hour.
The male player shook his head: "No, he said he had to go to Xu Han's place first."
"Xu Han?"
His teammate turned his head, somewhat bewildered: "Who is Xu Han?"
Male player: "..."
I almost forgot that Xu Han isn't very well-known in town; I bet many people don't even know him.
He quickly added, "It's the player who was with He Lingling."
Mentioning He Lingling, his teammates' expressions visibly changed, but then they beamed with joy and said:
"He Lingling! He Lingling is amazing! I remember her talent skill is predicting the future, right? There are so few players with that talent skill in the game! We can totally try to recruit her too—"
Don't be so optimistic.
The male player interrupted his teammate's increasingly excited speech with a sigh:
"They might not necessarily team up with us."
After all, there are attacks and predictions, plus that player named Xu Han seems to have healing talent skills... Is it even necessary to team up with this combination?
The male player shook his head with a wry smile: "Let's see, who knows what unexpected situations might arise in the game that will force us to team up?"
"Now, you should hurry back to your rooms."
Male player: "Nighttime in the game is always more dangerous than daytime."
Everyone paused for a moment as the conversation reached this point, and then the other two quickly left the room, offering some reluctant words before departing.
“Ah Yuan, if possible, you should have a good talk with Lu Chusheng.”
What if, what if Lu Chusheng had that kind of intention...?
"understood."
The male player named A Yuan nodded: "I'll be careful."
His two teammates then felt relieved and went to their own rooms.
A Yuan only looked away after watching his two teammates safely enter the room and close the door.
Before closing the door, he glanced at the room Lu Chusheng had just entered, hesitated for a moment, and then looked back at the time.
11:35.
Time flies so fast, another ten minutes have passed.
A Yuan was getting impatient. He gritted his teeth and finally decided to close the door first.
The elderly housekeeper insisted that they share a room, so if each person had their own room, who knows what unexpected situations might arise—
and many more.
A Yuan suddenly remembered that there were 23 people in this game.
There are singular numbers.
And the player who didn't get any "roommates" seems to be Yu Shijiu?!
Thinking of Lu Chusheng's overly attentive gaze and actions towards Yu Shijiu at the dinner table, A Yuan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Although he knew he shouldn't, he still felt somewhat resentful.
They were clearly the "roommates" chosen by the game to share a room, and should have looked after each other and even discussed the game's storyline... But now, Lu Chusheng was still in someone else's room.
Even though she knew it was Lu Chusheng's own business, A Yuan was still a little unwilling.
After all, Lu Chusheng was someone who gave him and his teammates a greater chance of survival.
------------
No one knows what A Yuan is thinking.
At this moment, Lu Chusheng and Yu Shijiu had entered Xu and He's room and were discussing the possible plot developments for tonight.
"The housekeeper said not to go out after midnight?"
He Lingling frowned and asked.
Yu Shijiu was happily eating the spicy strips that Xu Han handed him when he heard this, and nodded before Lu Chusheng could.
"Yes, she said it's best not to go out."
As for why she didn't go out, the old housekeeper naturally wouldn't say it outright.
They need to find that out themselves.
"What did you see?"
"Sister, what did you see?"
Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng's voices rang out simultaneously in the room.
The two exchanged a glance: "..."
Hmm, that's quite a coincidence.
Xu Han scratched his head and grinned sheepishly: "Why are you two suddenly talking at the same time?"
He Lingling was amused, but only for a moment before her expression turned serious.
"Just as you thought, I couldn't help but use my skill to check on 'Young Master's' stepmother downstairs."
