Chapter 196
Mu Huixue was right.
An unknown woman suddenly killed the first place person, got his rest time and became a high ranking player. More senior returnees wondered what method this woman used to kill the first ranked person and eagerly tried to kill her to get her rest time.
However, as more and more high ranking players died because of Mu Huixue, they knew the woman’s true strength and no longer rushed to challenge her. Thanks to this, Mu Huixue accumulated a lot of rest time and became first place on the time leaderboard.
Mu Huixue wasn’t a murderous returnee. This was a good thing for Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and all the Earth survivors. However…
Fu Wenduo stated, “I have no reason to kill you.”
If Mu Huixue was a vicious returnee with more than 100,000 lives in her hands then Fu Wenduo might try to fight her. Killing her would be counted as ‘preventing harm.’ Fu Wenduo had a sense of responsibility. Of course, if Mu Huixue was very strong then Fu Wenduo wouldn’t be desperate to do this.
Mu Huixue was strong and not vicious. Fu Wenduo had no reason to kill her.
Fu Wenduo said, “I also like fighting with the strong.” He turned to look at Tang Mo. Tang Mo also hoped to play against the strong because actual combat was best for improving her strength. Fu Wenduo continued, “However, I might not be able to kill you and I have no reason to kill you.”
Mu Huixue smiled. “I want to die. This is the best reason.”
“Why do you want to die?”
A low female voice was suddenly heard and the group looked down. Chen Shanshan raised his head and stared seriously at Mu Huixue. She seemed to want to see Mu Huixue’s real thoughts from her expression.
Mu Huixue looked down at the little girl and replied after a moment, “There is no reason to live… so I want to die. Isn’t this reason enough?”
Chen Shanshan was silent but everyone knew this reason was completely untenable.
Whether it was Fu Wenduo or Tang Mo, they had no reason to take Mu Huixue’s life. They weren’t friends or enemies with the first place on the leaderboard. It was very difficult to kill her and they might not necessarily succeed.
Tang Mo thought for a moment, ready to explain the reasons. Then a low female voice was heard. Tang Mo reflexively looked up as Mu Huixue touched her chin and smiled. “What if I say that killing me can resurrect any player who died in a black tower game?”
Tang Mo’s eyes widened and his heart trembled fiercely.
In the rules for the black tower’s 4.0 version, the returnees were still subjected to the rest time but they could actively turn into official players. In addition, the time leaderboard was frozen by the black tower. Tang Mo killed Xu Yusheng, who was ranked 7th on the time leaderboard. Yet the original 8th place person didn’t rise to 7th place.
It was because the time leaderboard was frozen.
100 returnees, if one dead then there would be one less person.
Besides, the rules of the time leaderboard itself didn’t change. Tang Mo killed Xu Yusheng and got a good quality prop. On the surface, this prop was a small silver stone that could attract metal under certain circumstances. However, the note for this item was:
[Note: As a king stone, I can help other stones become night pearls!]
Tang Mo’s memory was excellent and a familiar image came to mind. He found a black stone from his pocket. Once he placed them together, the two stones merged. The silver stone disappeared and the black stone began to glow. The introduction of the newly synthesized prop was:
