Chapter 479: Complex Teammate Relationships
Complex Teammate Relationships
"Yes."
Cheng Shi's answer was decisive. He even looked at the stunned Poison and laughed.
"As long as the news you tell is valuable enough, I can provide any special service."
"...... You really have changed." Poison sized up Cheng Shi with interest and smiled. "However, little pastor, business isn't done like this. You have to tell the guest the category of service first, so the guest can choose whether to pay the 'money' to purchase the service."
Cheng Shi gave an exaggerated "Oh~" and then said seriously:
"It should be so.
The services provided by this shop are:
Perceiving fear, feeling pain, satisfying curiosity, and... enjoying pleasure.
The price of the service rises in order, it just depends on which service the guest wants."
When Poison heard the two words "enjoying pleasure," her eyes lit up. She really couldn't suppress her curiosity, licked the corners of her lips unconsciously, looked at Cheng Shi with burning eyes, and asked in a hoarse and charming voice:
"Why are all the things you provide here 【Filthy Fall】 stuff?"
"For 【Filthy Fall】 guests, naturally, I provide 【Filthy Fall】 services. This is called customized demand, isn't it?"
"Yes, since that's the case..."
Poison's face suddenly turned red. I don't know if it was because Cheng Shi's treatment restored her blood color, or because the pleasure she thought of in her brain was too hot. In short, she looked at Cheng Shi with a red face, and chose the most "expensive" service without hesitation.
"I choose pleasure, but I have one more condition."
Cheng Shi nodded with a smile, polite like a real salesperson: "The customer is God, you say."
"I want... to experience it before paying."
"Okay."
Cheng Shi seemed to have guessed Poison's request long ago, but he didn't refuse, instead agreeing very readily.
And the first moment the words fell, he took a step forward and squatted in front of Poison, his left hand wrapped around Poison's waist, his right hand stretched out and stroked up along Poison's neck, lifted the chin with perfect curves, and approached slowly in the eyes of the other party that were absolute oppression and full of shame, and then...
"Boom—"
The floor was blown through.
【Death】 Fun Ring charge -1.
Of course, this unexpected thunder punishment didn't hit Poison in Cheng Shi's arms at all, because the moment he made a move, the other party had already felt the danger, so she dodged this fatal blow by retreating sideways at the first time.
Looking at the scorched hole in front of him, Poison's smile and blush froze on her face.
She had thought Cheng Shi would use means, but she never thought the other party would directly use a killing move!
The power of this thunder was comparable to a subordinate god relic. The other party actually released it in front of her. If it weren't for her agile body, even if she touched it, it would be more fierce than any injury she had just suffered!
"You're for real?" Poison's pupils shrank.
"Yo, it turns out the guest has already recovered. It seems my treatment is very effective."
"......" Listening to Cheng Shi's yin-and-yang words, Poison's face stalled. She silently took out a new down jacket, put it on with her back to him, and then turned her head again. "Now is not the time to talk about treatment, but the time you made a move! Little pastor, you wouldn't be in the same group as Mr. Jiao, would you?"
Cheng Shi sneered and stood up, clapping his hands: "This guest, don't talk nonsense. This shop is a serious shop, and it doesn't provide any Mr. Jiao for you to entertain yourself. Besides, isn't this the pleasure-enjoying service you ordered yourself?"
Poison laughed in anger. She pointed at the hole in the floor and said:
"I would like to ask, where is the pleasure in this?"
Cheng Shi pointed at her with a mocking look, then pointed at himself, and said:
"You act as a clown, I am very happy, isn't this enjoying pleasure?
The expression is in place, the acting is not bad, like for you.
Of course, no tip."
"......" Poison opened her mouth stiffly, her expression as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
She always felt that she saw the figure of an acquaintance behind Cheng Shi, but as for whether this acquaintance was surnamed Zhen or Chen, she couldn't distinguish for a while.
And just when Poison fell into silence, Cheng Shi sneered and glanced down from the hole broken by the thunder, shouting loudly:
"The play is over, are you still not coming up?"
Not long after the words fell, two heads looking up slowly stretched out horizontally from under the broken hole. The owners of these two heads, one quite rough and one inclined to be elegant, were none other than Da Yi and Jiang Chi who had just retreated from the square!
Seeing the two appear, Cheng Shi thought, "As expected."
From the beginning, he had been intentionally stepping heavily on this wooden floor, but contrary to expectations, there was no response from downstairs in this room full of life.
Poison and he had fled here to avoid disaster. They arrived at the attic as soon as they came, and had no time to deal with the residents in this house.
The wind and snow outside were heavy, and the attic was burning with a fire stove. The family living in this attic was clearly at home, but why had there been no response?
Cheng Shi originally thought it was because the family was afraid of the movement upstairs, so they chose silence. But when Poison chose to play a role-playing game with himself here instead of rushing to recover or continue to escape further, he realized that the other party didn't seem to be that afraid of Gongyang Jiao.
At least in this trial, she had the confidence not to be hunted to death by the Screaming Earl and the chameleon together.
So what was her confidence?
It definitely wouldn't be himself, after all, his arrival in this trial was an accident.
Nor would it be Da Yi, because Da Yi's reaction of astonishment and surprise to the information in Poison's mouth couldn't be fake.
Then, thinking about it, among the five teammates, there was only the last one left, that Pointer Knight Jiang Chi who suddenly joined the battlefield with an inexplicable reason to get information from Poison!
He... was probably Poison's friend, right?
At least he had to be her helper. After all, joining the battle halfway was indeed strange. Even if he gave a reason, this reason was too far-fetched. You have to know that there were two assassins in the field clearly coveting the 【Gift of Scars】. Even if he wanted it, why would he share a cup of soup in the joint hands of two assassins?
Unless he and Poison had long had cooperation!
So he didn't look like a gossip-monger, but more like a helper who was sweeping the array outside!
Since he was a helper, had he already arrived?
Could the lack of response downstairs be because he controlled this family of NPCs?
So Cheng Shi's thunder punishment wasn't just aimed at Poison, but killing two birds with one stone.
He glanced down at the hole again, and after seeing the two appear, he thought, "As expected," but immediately he saw Jiang Chi's gossiping gaze and Da Yi's playful eyes.
"......"
Good, good, good, eavesdropping, right!
Cheng Shi's eyelids twitched fiercely. Sure enough, gossip is always everyone's fun.
No wonder people came but didn't come up. What's the matter, brother, do you two really want to watch a scene of enjoying pleasure?
Feeling Cheng Shi's mocking gaze, Da Yi touched his head and laughed awkwardly:
"Damn it, Brother Cheng, I also just knew that the one surnamed Jiang was in the same group as Poison. He found me and brought me here.
However... I said I just arrived and didn't hear anything, do you believe it?"
Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and didn't give him face: "Don't believe it."
But his mockery didn't work, because Da Yi's "roughness" destined him to have a face as thick as Hu Wei's.
Just see this burly man laugh, jump up to the attic, and praise Cheng Shi:
"Damn it, no wonder cultured people are smart. It's right that you don't believe it, Brother Cheng!"
"......"
Cheng Shi almost laughed in anger.
Good, good, good! I didn't expect that my status as a clown would have a day of being threatened!
Jiang Chi also jumped up. The embarrassment on his face flashed away. After smiling and nodding to Poison, he looked at Cheng Shi, slightly admiring:
"As expected of the legendary figure, a pastor actually has such powerful output means."
Cheng Shi sneered inwardly, but denied it on the surface:
"No, just a thunder prop picked up by luck. It's one-time use, and it's already used up."
"......"
Jiang Chi's eyes became strange. He thought: Brother, I treat you as a master, and you treat me as a fool?
Who can believe these words you say in the field?
Thinking, Jiang Chi looked at Da Yi, but saw that although Da Yi was facing Cheng Shi, his peripheral vision was clearly sizing up him and Poison.
This 【War】 assassin was clearly not at ease with them either.
Right on the money!
This is the peak game. Players who were fighting to the death in the previous second may instantly become allies in offense and defense, and teammates who are intimate in this moment may stab you in the next second.
Everyone wants to cooperate, but can't find a sincere collaborator. They are just interest-oriented adhesives. Where the interest is large, the adhesion to that side is strong.
And this is also the reason why Poison wanted to team up with Cheng Shi after seeing him, because she knew Cheng Shi wasn't that kind of person.
But Cheng Shi didn't think so.
At this moment, his gaze swept over the three people one by one, and seeing that they were also sizing each other up, he sighed silently in his heart.
It seems that these are the three teammates for this trial. The other two probably won't choose to cooperate. Not only that, the four of them might also have to endure the other party's sneak attacks and chases.
However, the cooperation with these three is also temporary. After all, they have the same goal, and their character is not very trustworthy.
Sure enough, once it involves trials related to Them, the situation becomes abnormally complex.
So if I want to leave this trial safely, how should I combine and connect... ===== CHAPTER 480 =====
