After Pretending to Be an Alpha, I Was Exposed by My Rival - Chapter 11
Lu Chizhou’s character was the system’s default male starter appearance. Wu Qi and Houzi were both beautiful girls, dressed in flashy clothes, sticking close to Lu Chizhou on either side.
The three of them walked together: one man and two women. It was especially enviable.
Some random teams saw that they had few people and came over in groups, wanting to invite them to join. Lu Chizhou ignored them with a cold face. Who knew whose pitiful, fragile self-esteem he had stepped on, but someone picked up a broadsword and charged over to slash at him.
Lu Chizhou started fighting with the other party. Seeing this, the other party’s teammates also joined the battle. Wu Qi and Houzi also joined the chaotic fight one after another.
It was at this moment that Zhou Yijue accidentally passed by the place where the brawl was happening. He had wandered in completely by mistake. He had originally planned to turn around and take another route to avoid this group of idiots, but the moment he turned his foot, someone slashed him without distinguishing right from wrong. The purely decorative, exquisite hat he had just finished making not long ago was cut in half with one strike.
When the hat fell to the ground in two pieces, Zhou Yijue’s temper instantly exploded.
Clang!
His broadsword flashed out, and the reflected light dazzled the other person’s eyes. In the next instant, his hand rose and the blade fell, directly taking the head of the nearest person.
When Zhou Yijue’s dark-skinned muscular man swung a broadsword, he looked especially majestic. Even killing people became a beautiful scene. Slash, slash, slash—he cut through them, and a whole group died.
He killed his way all the way to Lu Chizhou.
The two stood face to face. Zhou Yijue’s game character was taller than Lu Chizhou’s by half a head and also had a stronger build. Standing in front of Lu Chizhou, he blocked him so completely that from behind, no one could even see half a strand of Lu Chizhou’s hair.
“Hey, brother, don’t be impulsive. We’re allies. The ones who offended you just now were that group of people. It has nothing to do with us.” Seeing the tension between the two of them and that they looked like they were about to start fighting, Houzi hurriedly inserted himself between them, cutting off the spark of a fight.
He had been paying attention and observing earlier. The dark-skinned muscular man in front of them was an expert on par with Brother Lu. An expert of this level should naturally be pulled into the team. It would greatly improve their dungeon-clearing speed. Besides, if he let him and Brother Lu fight, two strong opponents clashing might take forever before a winner was decided.
Then his new weapon would be in danger.
Loli Yuan Haojun walked over and stood beside Zhou Yijue. Seeing the two beautifully dressed girls, his eyes almost went straight. With a silly smile, he scratched his head and said in a sweet, delicate voice, “Hello, big sisters.”
After choosing beautiful-girl characters, Wu Qi and Houzi had often been called big sister or little sister. Now, suddenly seeing a cute little loli appear, their hearts immediately bloomed with joy—no, their spring hearts stirred…
“Hello, little sister. Do you want to run the dungeon together? Big brothers and sisters will carry you.” Houzi and Wu Qi’s gazes stuck to Yuan Haojun the entire time and could not be pried away.
Three cute girls with dicks deceived each other, lusted after each other, and after taking a liking to one another, each began urging Lu Chizhou and Zhou Yijue to merge their two teams and run the dungeon together.
Zhou Yijue did not care whether there were more or fewer people in the first place. Adding a few more corpses to carry did not matter, as long as Yuan Big Head did not mind getting fewer equipment drops. At this moment, Yuan Big Head only had the pretty sisters in his eyes. How could he still care about equipment drops? He happily agreed.
Lu Chizhou had been in a good mood all night. Even though passersby had interrupted things, his mood was still quite good, so he also readily agreed to form a team.
The two teams combined into a five-person squad and began running the Jorōgumo dungeon.
On average, they cleared it once every fifteen minutes. The more they ran it, the faster they became. Later, they even broke the fastest Jorōgumo dungeon-clear record in their server.
The news of the record being refreshed appeared on the world channel. A loudspeaker announcement promoted it and stayed up for a full minute, attracting many onlookers.
“Are these five people a random team? Are random teams this strong now?”
“What random team? Open the message upstairs and look at the members inside. I guarantee you’ll want to eat the words you just typed.”
“Fuck, I just went and looked. What’s going on? Yueshen Team’s captain, Lujian, and Fushen Team’s strategist, Zhou Er Fushi. My god, both are big shots in the server’s top ten combat rankings. Where would you find a random team this strong?”
“Holy shit, holy shit, is it the Jorōgumo dungeon? I’m going to take a photo with the big shots.”
“I’m going too.”
“Count me in.”
“…”
After Zhou Yijue and the others finished another dungeon run and were preparing to split the equipment, a bunch of people suddenly jumped in. They surrounded them, grinning as they came closer, then began taking photos like crazy.
Zhou Yijue: “…”
When had he become a background board in the game?
“Boss Zhou, can you carry us through the dungeon? The Jorōgumo dungeon has been torturing us for a week. We just can’t clear it no matter what.” After the people taking photos happily got their screenshots, they still lingered and refused to leave.
“Yeah, yeah, Boss. We absolutely won’t randomly grab equipment. We’ll only pick up what the big shots don’t want.”
“Right, right, absolutely no grabbing. We’ll only pick up trash.”
“A team can have at most eight people. Only three of you can come in, or you can take turns joining.” When Zhou Yijue thought that refusing might mean getting pestered, he simply agreed to their request with a headache.
Anyway, adding three was adding, and adding six was also adding. He did not care.
Besides, this person called Lujian was indeed very strong. With the strength of the two of them, carrying an entire team would not be a problem.
They ran the dungeon several more times in a row.
Zhou Yijue’s anger finally disappeared.
Feeling hungry, he sent Yuan Big Head a private message. “Yuan, I’m hungry. I’m going to eat something. You guys continue.”
“Ah, okay. Then hurry and go eat. Don’t starve yourself, mua mua.” After Yuan Big Head finished speaking, Zhou Yijue logged off.
With the dark-skinned boss gone, the team chat immediately filled with questions.
“Little sister, where did Boss Zhou go?”
“He’s hungry and went offline to eat. Are we still continuing? (▽)” When Yuan Big Head sent the message, he did not forget his cute loli persona and added a playful emoticon.
The moment the emoticon appeared, Wu Qi and Houzi immediately felt as if their hearts had been shot. They clutched their chests and fell to the floor, rolling around on the carpet.
“Ahhh, little sister is so cute. I declare my love.”
“No, little sister is mine. Get lost.”
Wu Qi and Houzi almost started fighting in real life because of this.
“Continue, continue,” Wu Qi said excitedly.
“Right, continue, continue. Lujian said he’d run dungeons with us all night,” Houzi said, equally excited.
With the dark-skinned big brother gone, the little sister belonged to them. Hehehe. Later, they could stage something like a hero saving the beauty. Would they still have to worry about not capturing the little sister’s heart?
Wu Qi and Houzi sneakily made their calculations in their hearts.
Zhou Yijue opened the refrigerator and took a look. Aside from two apples whose skins had wrinkled from being frozen, his refrigerator was even cleaner than Yuan Big Head’s face.
There was nothing to eat.
He could only order takeout.
Zhou Yijue opened the holographic projection, downloaded the takeout order from the star network, and selected express delivery.
That night, when he had shared a table with Lu Chizhou and the others, he had barely eaten a few bites. After coming home, he had still been full of anger. Now that his anger had finally faded, his hunger doubled and surged up. He was so hungry that he even took the two wrinkled apples from the refrigerator, washed them, and ate them.
In the end, the more he ate, the hungrier he became.
