Chapter 13: Chapter 13 The Despised One

“Charge the battery?” Shen MO said with an incredulous laugh.

Whoever could pull them into a game was obviously the product of incredibly advanced technology. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to think of it as a gesture of an alien civilization. But the rewards bestowed by this technological civilization require a battery charge?

It’s pretty down-to-earth.

“Mine is a one-time-use tool,” Shen MO said while driving and exchanging information with Bai Youwei, “It’s a command gun. Once the trigger is pulled, everyone within a 10-meter radius of the shooter makes a full-speed run. The effect may vary depending on distance, environmental factors, and individual will strength. The shooter is not affected by the gunfire.”

He picked up the toy gun, lightly tossed it to the backseat, “This is of no use to me. You take it. It might save your life at a crucial time.”

Bai Youwei caught the gun and pondered, “Could it be that the player’s level is too low to receive such high-level rewards, and so their power got significantly reduced?”

She speculated, “Maybe it’s for the balance of the game; otherwise, it would be too weak…”

Under normal circumstances, who would need such a thing? A gun that could make the opponent run like mad without any reason and a close-range pistol that shoots out lightning strikes, these items were obviously designed for the game.

“Do you think there’s plenty of these kind of games out there?” asked Shen Mo.

Bai Youwei: “Isn’t it obvious?”

Shen MO gripped the steering wheel without replying.

Bai Youwei thought about his odd behavior earlier in the game, furrowed her brow and asked, “Do you know something?”

Shen MO raised an eyebrow, glancing at her through the rearview mirror.

Bai Youwei said, “In the game, there was no need to save that blond kid, but you risked yourself to pull him out of the rabbit swarm. After that, you kept observing his body changes, are you focused on him?… No, that’s not right, you don’t even know him. As a senior officer from the National Security Administration, there’s no way you’d know such a street thug.” (f)reewe(b)novel

Thinking about Shen Mo’s profession, Bai Youwei realized: “You’re here to investigate, aren’t you?”

Her face suddenly turned cold, she said indifferently, “You didn’t come to pick me up, you just happened to be investigating.”

The quickness of the girl’s mood changes amused Shen MO a little.

Just after a life and death experience, she’s being petty about such small things.

It’s hard to tell whether she’s still a child at heart, or it’s just her being

oversensitive. Perhaps it’s both.

“I am here to pick you up,” he responded, “I was in the area performing a task when I received a call from your mother. I came here specifically for you.”

Bai Youwei’s expression didn’t soften, her tone remained cold, “We’re not related at all, why would you go out of your way for me? You just happened to be in the area, and it’s all just a favor. I know my worth, no need for sweet talk.

You’re not my babysitter.”

She is smart, leaving Shen MO speechless.

Both felt silent.

The off-road vehicle moved ahead. Bai Youwei broke the silence first.

“You came to execute a task, was it successful?” she asked. Shen MO, focusing on the road ahead, shook his head lightly, “No.”

“What kind of task?” asked Bai Youwei.

Shen Mo: “Find a person.”

Bai Youwei paused for a moment, then asked tentatively, “A scientist?”

Shen MO laughed, “Close enough, an old professor.”

Bai Youwei: “Then you…”

“Didn’t find him. The lab was empty, no people, no dolls,” Shen MO added, “We searched in the area, all my team members got turned into dolls. I don’t know why I was the only one who was unharmed. Then later, I received your mother’s call.”

Shen MO raised his lips into a small smile and asked, “Are you satisfied now?”

Bai Youwei smirked coldly, “You almost lost your life, yet you still had the leisure to pick someone else’s daughter.”

“It was on the way,” Shen MO said with a faint smile.

Bai Youwei: “Hmph.’

She let out a huff but then felt a bit taken aback. Shen MO did not have to pick her up, but he did as he had promised her mother. She should not have been expecting more or complaining about him.

She was a person generally despised by others, and anytime anyone treated her a bit nice, she should be grateful, right?

Having this thought, her face regained calmness. There was no longer any sign of resent, or any expression at all..
