Please Stop Pretending To Be a Cute Newcomer!Ch51 - Hurting People

Lu Qi: “…There wasn’t one.”

Shen Qingcheng raised his eyebrows–were his ill-fated fingers so unimportant? R1sCKp

“Are you sure?” he asked, giving him a chance to choose to say something else.

The man looked down at him, his eyes dark, speechless and a little helpless, helpless and a little speechless. “Your fingers, but you were just pretending.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

That sentence caused Shen Qingcheng to retort fiercely, “Nonsense, aren’t my fingers pitiful? Do you have any idea of your own strength?”

A refutation was a refutation, but he did default to his fingers as the answer… Z6jm03

Lu Qi pursed his lips and looked at him for a while, then spit out one word, “Squeamish.”

Shen Qingcheng: “!”

He widened his eyes and covered his chest with a look of heartache, “This is the biggest insult I’ve ever heard!”

From an angle he couldn’t see, Lu Qi raised the corners of his lips into a brief smile.

After finishing his act, Shen Qingcheng put down his hands and returned to a serious tone, “Right, do you want to ask me something or check something to make sure it’s me?”

Lu Qi: “I checked.”

“When did it happen? Why didn’t I know?” He asked with a question mark on his head.

Shen Qingcheng thought about it for a long time, but couldn’t figure out when Lu Qi had checked. It had only been so long since he got in the car, and he hadn’t seen any special behavior from Lu Qi. 38t40P

He raised his head in confusion, and there was nothing beside him.

Shen Qingcheng: “…”

It turned out that Lu Qi had returned to the back seat early.

He rubbed his chest to soothe himself–don’t be angry, don’t be angry. After calming down, he went back to the second row of the window seat and sat down, then took out his terminal and sent a message to Lu Qi. uWBX5r

Alluring Beauty: “What do you think about the town? Just then, when that townsman heard that we came by train he seemed to be very happy. Something bad must have happened in the town because of the train.”

7: “They don’t welcome outsiders.”

Alluring Beauty: “Yes, all of them look at us like they’re going to eat us, like they can’t wait to lift a brick and rush over!”

He finished complaining: “So is that related to outsiders?” NZWnS0

Something bad related to outsiders and trains had happened in town, so the townspeople didn’t like to see outsiders?

7: “And there are the smiling faces. The farmland is deserted, but the scarecrows are new.”

Since the farmland was deserted, the meaning of the scarecrow’s existence could not be to protect it.

At that point, they found that the smiles painted on the scarecrows were exactly the same as those on the faces of the townspeople… e2UGa3

Alluring Beauty: “! The scarecrows are prepared for funerals.”

Shen Qingcheng fell into deep thought.

Scarecrows were planted all over the barren farmland, and there were quite a few.

Specifically, the smiling faces painted on their heads were the same as those of the townspeople. What relationship did those two have? 2U4Fws

Scarecrow, townspeople, could they be equated?

The one who made the sound was a female player sitting behind Shen Qingcheng. The girl had short hair that reached her ears. At that moment, she was rummaging in her bag anxiously.

“Why isn’t it here, I obviously put it in!”

She looked around suspiciously as she searched, wondering if someone had taken her stuff. kay4iV

Shen Qingcheng: “What are you looking for.”

The girl hugged her bag tightly and looked up at Shen Qingcheng vigilantly.

Shen Qingcheng noticed that her luggage was only a backpack, and guessed, “Did you bring something from the town?”

The girl’s eyes shifted from vigilance to suspicion. nIfhe2

Shen Qingcheng put on the same speechless expression Lu Qi used, “Do you think that even though I have a bag of bricks and am rich, I need to take your things?”

The food exchange was an equal-volume exchange. Compared to other people, who had clothes that took up very little space after being compressed, his bricks were worth much more.

“But my things are gone.” The girl pursed her lips, a little embarrassed.

Shen Qingcheng: “Are the things you took from the town missing or is it all gone.” tijw4L

The girl was even more ashamed when she heard this, because only the thing from the town was gone.

If others wanted to take it, why wouldn’t they just take it all?

She said frustratedly: “Is only the luggage provided by the copy useful?”

Her luggage was running out, and she got hungry quickly on the train. Even if she ate less, she would starve to death. e7lDht

“What! Only the luggage provided by the copy is useful?!” An eavesdropping male player beside him suddenly exclaimed.

So several players who had gotten off the train began to check their luggage.

As expected, all the luggage they brought from town disappeared.

Not only that, but one player found that his original luggage was missing. U8WlYV

He stood up and asked angrily, “Who among you took my luggage?”

No one answered him.

“Who took it!”

“Have you seen it?” ecjWUQ

“Damn, you don’t know how to think of your own solutions so you can only think of taking other people’s things! If I catch you, I won’t spare you!”

Jin Da sneered in the corner, “The solution that others came up with is to take from you. Who told you to get off the train by yourself.”

Pa! Shen Qingcheng slapped the chair in front of Jin Da.

Jin Da was taken aback, and in response he raised his voice, as if to galvanize himself, “What do you want?” 3MPbcw

Shen Qingcheng sneered, “You certainly have guts, you actually dared to steal while I wasn’t around.”

If he hadn’t been reminded by what happened to the player just now and checked, he didn’t know when he would’ve found out.

Jinda: “You’re talking out your ass, isn’t that bag of bricks still placed nicely under your chair!”

“Oh, it’s just missing ten or twenty pieces,” Shen Qingcheng said with a blank face, and said to Lu Qi, who had noticed the movement and came over, “Ge, let me borrow your knife.” CoZrvX

Lu Qi paused, “My surname is Lu.”

Shen Qingcheng: “Lu-ge, let me borrow your knife.”

Lu Qi didn’t ask why he hadn’t called him Lu-dage, and called out the long knife.

Shen Qingcheng had just been handed the knife, and it hadn't even warmed up yet when Jin Da, who could sense when the tides were changing, exclaimed, “Wait! I’ll pay you back, how about I pay you back!” 6DVgp4

He slowly took out the bricks he had hidden among the clothes in his woven bag with a disgusted expression on his face, “You even counted…”

Shen Qingcheng glanced at it, five pieces, “There’s more.”

Jin Da was annoyed, “There isn’t, I wasn’t the one who took the rest!”

Ha, so it turned out to be a gang crime r OX38

He chuckled softly, and the knife in his hand mercilessly penetrated the back of Jin Da’s hand and slammed into the wood of the armrest.

Lu Qi’s eyebrows twitched, a little surprised.

Jin Da was completely dazed, only reacting once the pain was transmitted through his nerves to his brain. “Ah–ah–ah–ahhh!” He screamed.

All the people in the car looked over. gHLioj

Lin Wen got up and took two steps towards his side. He opened his mouth and wanted to de-escalate, but in the end he didn’t speak.

He wanted to help every player survive in the game, but reality stopped him from doing so.

Lan Xiu’er covered her child’s ears, humming a lullaby in a low voice, being careful not to involve herself in the matter.

The sick and weak young man covered his lips and coughed, unsurprised by what had happened. He seemed to have long guessed what would happen to Jin Da. zIn3US

“I think it’s better not to meddle too much, what do you think?” Shen Qingcheng asked with a smile on his face.

As he finished speaking, the long knife was drawn out, and a small stream of blood gushed out from the several-inch-long wound.

Jin Da screamed again, and covered the bleeding wound with his other trembling hand. Half scared and half angry, he said, “You actually attacked another player!”

He wanted to make the others assume that they were radicals who specialized in killing players for props. eAHcfQ

One of the two dared to point a knife at him and the other hurt his hand without changing his expression. What else could they be but radicals!

Shen Qingcheng knew what he was thinking, but he was too lazy to explain, “Is there a problem?”

He wiped the snow-white, clean blade and said regretfully, “Unfortunately, my temper is not as good as Lu Qi’s.”

Just because Lu Qi could endure his occasional harassment and provocation didn’t mean that he could tolerate Jin Da finding trouble again and again. PeYWKy

Jin Da lowered his head and silently pulled out a strip of cloth to bandage his wound.

Shen Qingcheng didn’t want Jin Da’s life. Seeing that he should have calmed down, he sharpened the knife in preparation to turn to the other people who stole from him, only to find that all the bricks had been quietly returned to his seat.

He glanced around the inside of the car.

The players all acted as if they had nothing to do with it, as if no one took anything. LNbRGO

Shen Qingcheng twitched the corner of his mouth, returned the knife to Lu Qi, and waved his hand with a smile, “It’s over now, go back and rest.”

Lu Qi didn’t say much. He nodded and put away the long knife, then returned to the last row.

Shen Qingcheng also returned to his seat. He put the bricks into his bag, stuffed the bag under the chair, and then relaxedly sat down.

Two seconds later, he stroked his chin thoughtfully. fCrG2J

He was a little too impulsive in handling Jin Da’s affairs, and his words and deeds were completely different from his usual persona.

Although Jin Da was really disgusting and annoying, he could’ve called Lu Qi over–after all, he was just a weak, pitiful, innocent “retired xiaodi.”

Tsk. Shen Qingcheng shook his head; he had been too impulsive, almost revealing his true nature!

He was regretting his mistake when Lu Qi sent him a message on his terminal. aKYPiB

Shen Qingcheng felt very guilty. Could it be that Lu Qi had seen his abnormality from that episode?

He opened the message to check with some trepidation.

7: “There are some changes among the players.”

Alluring Beauty: “?” 4sMeqO

Shen Qingcheng, who didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence, looked back.

Huh, well, several people, including Jin Da, were standing scattered by the window. If no one was paying attention, they could get together to discuss, and when some people were paying attention they could just be “gazing at the scenery”.

There were also people who were standing sentry.

Alluring Beauty: “They’re probably discussing how to vote at night so I’m the last one.” ZQDaPp

They didn’t dare to let other players see their purpose, because they were also a threat to the other players, who wouldn’t let them go.

Jin Da was mostly out for revenge.

But the others got involved not to help Jin Da, but for that bag of bricks, for food, for themselves.

First it was him, then Lu Qi. hDuNUQ

Or Lu Qi first, then him.

As long as the two of them were dead, their luggage would be ownerless.

That wasn’t right.

Alluring Beauty: “Do you think it’s possible for us to be tied for last place tonight?” 9HlyDJ

7: “Probably.”

Alluring Beauty: “That’s not bad. I’m not used to being separated from you for a whole day. It’s better to be with you even if we're a pair of bitter mandarin ducks.” At least there was someone to drive the train with.

Hey, wasn’t that term used a little inappropriately?
