Chapter 150

There was a fierce mechanical sound.

Tang Mo opened his eyes and his first reaction was to cover his ears. After adjusting to the harsh sound, he slowly released his hands. He observed the surrounding environment before quickly raising his head to look at the red-coloured moon above his head.

This was a bizarre black steel forest. Dark trees dozens of metres tall covered the sky, leaving only a circular opening where a red moon could be seen. On the surrounding black trees, a layer of slimy liquid flowed down the bark. The pungent smell of oil made Tang Mo frowned and he looked back, soon locking eyes with Fu Wenduo.

The two of them looked at each other, nodded lightly and turned their eyes to the other three people.

In the black steel forest lit by the dim red moonlight, three players slowly opened the eyes and observed Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo.

One of the players was Li Miaomiao. She stood silently by Tang Mo’s side, which was what Ruan Wangshu told her to do.

The other two people weren’t surprised after seeing the situation. They had clearly participated in many games. Their reaction was the same as Tang Mo as they immediately observed the surroundings. After determining where they were, the five people gathered together. Tang Mo calmly looked over the remaining two people. There was a man and a woman. The man looked very calm while the woman was a bit pale but also calm. After watching for a long time, Tang Mo’s gaze ended up on the man wearing a suit and a hat.

It was the beginning of the game. Everyone carefully reviewed their teammates and didn’t speak.

After a moment, the short-haired woman couldn’t help saying in a relaxed tone, “It seems that this is a multiplayer tower attack game. I have participated in similar games before and based on your expressions, it should be the same for you. We are teammates for the time being. Shall we get to know each other first?” As she spoke, her vigilant eyes swept over the faces of the people. There was a hint of wariness in her eyes when she saw the man in the hat.

Tang Mo raised his eyebrows. This woman and this man didn’t know each other.

Before entering the tower attack game, Ruan Wangshu had told Li Miaomiao to listen to Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo in this game.  Tang Mo didn’t speak. Thus, Li Miaomiao stood coldly by the side with her arms folded, ignoring this short-haired woman. The woman saw that no one answered her and her expression hardened.

The woman was right. They were teammates now and should get to know each other. Tang Mo was just about to speak when a melodious voice was heard.

“It makes a lot of sense.” The group turned their heads and gazed at the man who spoke. Under the faint red moonlight, the strange man with a cane smiled slightly and used his left hand to take off his hat, revealing blond hair.  He made a gentleman’s salute and raised his head. “My lady, what do you want to know?”

Tang Mo narrowed his eyes and stared at the blond man who suddenly spoke.

Even the short-haired woman was startled by this bizarre greeting and after a long time, she asked in a strange tone, “…Introduce yourself?”

The blond man smiled. He tilted his head and gazed at Tang Mo and the others. The smile on his face seemed to be made with a rule. It was elegant and accurate, the angle at which the lips raised were just right. The blue eyes were full of smiles as he said, “I will obey this lady’s words. My name is Grecia.”

Li Miaomiao glanced at the man and whispered, “A foreigner?”

Grecia’s eyes moved straight to Li Miaomiao and Li Miaomiao stood up straight, letting out an awkward cough as she looked towards Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. After getting their approval, she put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and said, “My name is Li Miaomiao.”
