Fatal Game Syndrome

Chapter 38: The Man Who Brings Up Old Score

"Are you okay?"

Ling Jiushi, who had been waiting in the camp, heard the noise not far away and hurried over. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him was holding two boxes of mineral water and two bulging bags in his hands.

"fine!"

Ling Jiushi took the things in his hand and put them on the ground. The six bottles of mineral water were not very heavy, but his hands were just rubbed in the afternoon, and now he was carrying so many things.

Seeing Ling Jiushi holding his hand and looking at it, he didn't know what he could see in the dark. "Don't worry, it didn't touch the place where the medicine was applied! And this thing is not heavy, there is no need to be so delicate!"

Ling Jiushi looked up at him and said nothing. If he wasn't so squeamish, then how did he get the injury on his hand?

"Where's Sister Lu?"

Ruan Lanzhu was also stunned. Didn't Lu Yanxue go out before him? Why didn't she come back?

"She hasn't come back yet?"

"No!"

Ling Jiushi shook his head, "Nothing will happen, right?"

"It should be fine. The poachers have already left. You take the things back and I'll go take a look!"

Ruan Lanzhu was also a little worried. No matter how powerful she was, she was still a girl. The island was overgrown with weeds and there were many snakes, insects, rats and ants. It would be troublesome if something really happened!

"Okay! Then be careful!"

After Ruan Lanzhu left, Ling Jiushi picked up the things on the ground and turned back to the camp.

Ruan Lanzhu followed the path he had just taken all the way to the place where the unicorn rhinoceros was, and only then did he see Lu Yanxue's figure. It turned out that Lu Yanxue had been following Ruan Lanzhu from a distance. She only came out after the poachers left, and Ruan Lanzhu did not return along the same route, so he missed her.

"Your dagger!"

Lu Yanxue returned the dagger that she had just pulled out from the tree trunk to Ruan Lanzhu. The big man had failed to pull it out before, but no one expected that she could actually pull it out, which shocked all the netizens in the live broadcast room.

Seeing Lu Yanxue squatting on the ground and touching the head of the unicorn rhino, Ruan Lanzhu reminded her, "Go back first. Its injuries are not fatal. The police will come to rescue it. It should be here soon!"

"it is good!"

When the two returned to the camp one after another, the others did not return to the tent, but re-lit the campfire and sat beside it waiting for the two to come out.

"I thought I would wait until a zombie outbreak before I would steal other people's food! I didn't expect that!"

Guan Nanshan was enjoying the instant pig's trotters that Ling Jiushi had distributed to everyone. Although the taste was not very good, he was very satisfied. He had only been on the island for two days, but he felt like he hadn't eaten meat for a century.

"Five more days!"

Yu He was also gnawing on the chicken leg in his hand. These were the poachers' possessions. As Guan Nanshan said, they could also be said to have been snatched back by Ruan Lanzhu.

"Don't you want to control your diet? It should be okay not to eat meat for a few days?"

Zhuang Rujiao was puzzled. Hu Li was okay as she never said a word about what she ate. But these three men seemed to have never eaten meat in their lives. Their mouths were full of oil. Didn’t they want to maintain their figure?

"I can't gain weight, no need to control my diet!"

Guan Nanshan shook his head. He was tall and thin, and it seemed that he did not need to control his diet.

"I'm really annoyed by people like you who can't gain weight, humph!"

Yu He looked at Le Yin and Guan Nanshan with dissatisfaction. Both of them were the type who could never gain weight.

"I gain weight when I eat a little bit, and the key is that my face becomes fatter, which is very obvious. My fans always ask me to eat less."

Yu He said aggrievedly, "I can usually eat chicken breast or something like that if I control my diet, but I really can't swallow these compressed biscuits!"

After eating compressed biscuits for two days, he now feels dry in the throat whenever he sees them. If it weren’t for the fact that he could still pick bananas on the island, he would have been constipated.

Seeing Yu He who didn't care about his image at all, Ling Jiushi seemed to have thought of something. He smiled softly and came closer to Ruan Lanzhu, "You still look better when you eat chicken legs!"

"Ok?"

Ruan Lanzhu didn't react for a moment and looked at Ling Jiushi in confusion.

"You and Zhuang Rujiao! Aren't you two competing to see who can eat more chicken legs? Not only do you eat more than her, you also eat more elegantly and prettier than her!"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at him helplessly. Is this a compliment? Why doesn't it sound nice?

Ling Jiushi touched his lower back again and said with a smile, "You really have a willow-like waist!"

He just wanted to get Zhuang Rujiao to eat, so he said something to provoke her. Bai Jie has a slender waist, but he didn't expect Ling Jiushi to remember it for so long.

"Yours isn't bad either!"

Having said that, he directly hugged him.

"I say, why don't you two go back to bed first?"

Zhuang Rujiao rolled her eyes. She was sitting next to the two of them and could hear everything they said clearly. So she was also a part of their play?

Ling Jiushi then noticed that everyone was looking at him, and his face instantly turned red to the roots of his neck, "Sorry, sorry!"

Ruan Lanzhu didn't know what to be sorry about. It seemed that the two of them didn't do anything out of line. However, seeing Ling Jiushi's blushing face, it was not good to stay any longer, so he stood up slowly and straightened his clothes.

"Water~bucket~waist~"

After that, Ruan Lanzhu dragged Ling Jiushi back to the tent. Zhuang Rujiao was so angry that she gnashed her teeth at their backs! This man always picks with her, bah!

"Don't bully her!"

Ling Jiushi was speechless. Why did he always like to bully Zhuang Rujiao?

"Where can I have it?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked back in dissatisfaction. Last time at Zuozi's door, Ling Jiushi also said that he bullied her. God is witnessing, if he had bullied others, Zhuang Rujiao would have cried long ago!

"No?"

"no!"

Ruan Lanzhu was firm and gave very strong evidence, "If she was really bullied, she would have been the same as Hu Die long ago!"

Butterfly?

When Ling Jiushi heard the name, he was stunned for a moment. It took him a long time to remember who this person was!

"......"

Hu Die was the girl who was possessed by the director of the Wilfuli Hill Sanatorium. She was hit by Ruan Lanzhu's elbow and her teeth fell to the ground. In comparison, it was not considered bullying Zhuang Rujiao.

"Why? You care about her so much?"

Ruan Lanzhu was not very happy.

"Why should I care about her? I just said she's a girl, don't bully her!"

Ling Jiushi was stunned. Did his words mean that he cared about her?

"Really? Weren't you guys chatting happily before, talking about your childhood troubles?"

Ruan Lanzhu looked at him seriously.

I go!

Ling Jiushi was sweating coldly. How could he still remember it after so long? Ruan Lanzhu just said "good" and turned away. I didn't expect that he would still remember it today!

"Then shall I tell you two more?"

Ruan Lanzhu calmly laid down with his hands behind his head, "That's what you said at the time!"

Then Ling Jiushi didn't tell him two more things at that time.

"Okay! I was wrong!"

Ling Jiushi admitted his mistake. How could he have had time to talk to him more when he was in the door? He forgot about this matter after he came out. He didn't expect that this bomb had been buried all along. Look, it exploded as soon as the opportunity came.

The netizens in the live broadcast room watched with joy as Ruan Lanzhu got jealous. It turned out that this is how a big shot looks when he gets jealous!

"So what do you want to hear? I'll tell you!"

Ling Jiushi lay down beside him, supporting his head with his left hand and staring at Ruan Lanzhu's handsome face. The firelight outside shone in through the tent a little bit, making it a little unclear.

"What's wrong with the wound on your hand?"

Ruan Lanzhu was silent for a long while before he opened his mouth to ask, there were several wounds of varying lengths on the inside of Ling Jiushi's left forearm, and it did not look like they were caused by an outsider.

Since knowing Ling Jiu, he has always worn long sleeves, even in summer. He had guessed it, but he was afraid of stimulating his inner pain points, so he never asked.

Hearing this, Ling Jiushi fell silent. These things were the wounds the world had inflicted on him. Even though he felt he had everything now, these scars kept reminding him of his dark past.

Ruan Lanzhu watched him lower his eyelids and cursed himself inwardly. Why did he have to ask? What was the point of bringing up something that had already happened?

"Forget it, I don't want to know!"

Ruan Lanzhu moved forward and pulled him into his arms, "Or tell me something else, like how are your preparations for the game going?"

"You really don't want to know?"

Ling Jiushi rested his head on his arm and looked up at him, "There's nothing to hide. I cut it with a knife when I was young and ignorant!"

Ling Jiushi's words also confirmed his guess. Ruan Lanzhu grabbed his arm and stroked it gently, feeling very uncomfortable. When he first met Ling Jiushi, he knew that he had depression, but he didn't expect it to be so serious as to lead to self-harm.

"It's all over. Look, I'm fine now, right?"

After meeting Ruan Lanzhu, he never behaved like this again. Even when they first met in Xue Village, Ruan Lanzhu gave him great psychological comfort.

"I won't listen!"

Ruan Lanzhu hugged Ling Jiu and kissed his forehead. Even though he didn't care anymore, he still didn't want to open his wound again and again.

"How's your preparation for the game going?"

“It’s just the beginning!”

Although it had been developed during the previous fifty years within the sect, this game was a huge project after all, and since he was the only one in the entire team, it was inevitable that it would be much slower.

Besides, the two of them had just gotten together and were still very close, so they had even less time to play games.

"How about I recruit a team for you? It's too tiring for you to do it alone!"

"what?"

"Or maybe start a gaming company? Don't worry, just leave it to Chen Fei!"

(Chen Fei, who is watching the live broadcast: Thank you so much!)

The netizens who were originally crying and sympathizing with Ling Jiushi started to make a fuss again.

"Secretary! Find out who Chen Fei is right now!"

"Boss, you are awesome. You can open a company right away! Are you hiring? I'm a programmer!"

"Boss, do you think I can do this? I don't want a salary, just let me sit with Ling Ling [shy]"

"The people upstairs are just wishful thinking!"

"Oh my god! I wouldn't know if I didn't check! Chen Fei! He's actually the CEO of Obsidian Entertainment!"

"Ling Jiushi! Chairman of Obsidian Entertainment!!! I thought he was a newcomer who just debuted!"

"I'm angry! What's wrong with me being one more rich person in the world?"

"Double A, Lan Jiu is a perfect match!"

"So he's our brother's boss! Hello, Mr. Ling! You've worked hard, Mr. Ling!"

Ling Jiushi rubbed his eyes and said, "Chen Fei is so busy, and I'm not good at management, so forget it!"

"Then I'll form a team for you!"

Ling Jiushi was a little confused. Why did he have to form a team for himself?

How smart is Ruan Lanzhu? How can Ling Jiushi have time to care about me when he is busy? Why not find some helpers for him, so that he doesn't have to do everything himself, and he can also have time to go on vacation with me!

"also!"

Ling Jiushi closed his eyes and felt drowsy. Ruan Lanzhu would not harm him anyway, so he just let him be!

When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning. I slept too late last night, and except Ruan Lanzhu who had already gotten up, everyone else was still sleeping in the tent.

"Why didn't you call me!"

Ling Jiushi took the towel handed to him by Ruan Lanzhu and wiped his face. Only then did he feel much clearer.

"You slept too late last night, I wanted you to sleep more!"

"I'm going to go in the water and take a look. Do you want to go?"

"go with!"

Ling Jiushi quickly put down the towel in his hand, grabbed the empty backpack that Yu He wanted to use to carry the fish last time, and followed.

After reaching the water's edge, Ruan Lanzhu took off his clothes and stuffed them into Ling Jiushi's hands, then jumped from the rock into the water with his upper body naked.

"Is it cold?"

Although the weather in October is still hot, it is still cool in the mornings and evenings. I don’t know if he can withstand jumping directly into the sea.

"Fortunately!"

Ruan Lanzhu popped his head out of the water and said, "Don't come down, just wait for me up there!"

After saying that, he dived into the water again. Ling Jiushi also knew his own limitations. If he went down, not only would he not be able to catch any fish, he would probably have to ask others to do it for him. So he sat obediently on a big rock and stared at the sea in a daze.

"Oh my god! Is this the benefit of coming early?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

"My dad has this body [drooling]"

"Lingling eats so well! I envy you so much!"

"It's so big! Uh, I mean the sea!"

"I'm sorry! My eyes have a mind of their own!"

"I won't tell you who Doraemon is!"

"Ling Jiushi: Don't you have your own husbands? Why are you looking at mine?"

The beautiful scene of Ruan Lanzhu emerging from the water was faithfully transmitted to every netizen in the live broadcast room, making this group of knowledgeable netizens stare in amazement.

"Wipe it!"

Ling Jiushi quickly handed him the clothes. Ruan Lanzhu was a good swimmer, but his luck was average. After half an hour in the water, he only caught some small fish and shrimps, but they were not enough to fill Lu Yanxue's small milk pot.

"Aren't Le Yin and the others at the seaside? Let them go down and try later!"

A few people were about to go into the water, but were blocked by the lizard.

“Can water plants be eaten?”

Ruan Lanzhu was silent for a moment and suddenly spoke. It seemed that returning empty-handed was a bit inconsistent with his all-round personality!

"what?"

Ling Jiushi looked confused. How could he, a child who grew up in the inland, know which aquatic plants were edible and which were not?

"Forget it! Let's go back!"

Ruan Lanzhu breathed a sigh of relief. He also realized that he had made things difficult for Ling Jiushi. When they went to the beach before, he didn't even recognize clams!

"Oh!"

Ling Jiushi nodded honestly and said that he would make sure to catch up on all the knowledge related to the ocean when he returned!
