Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 996: Chapter 907: Queen of Terror 3

The glamorous woman Mo Yuan, the freckled doll-faced girl Bai Xinrong, the elite glasses-wearing man Wei Zhixin, the honest man Jiang Hongxin, along with the gentle flower Shuangshuang herself, make up the five newcomers.

The cool handsome man Zhong Junyu and the pretty girl Li Meng are both veterans. Veterans have the task of guiding and protecting newcomers, though it’s optional. Completing it grants extra rewards, but not completing it is no big deal, even if all the newcomers are wiped out. It doesn’t affect the veterans in the team.

Newcomers are not easy to manage because they lack courage and have the physical attributes of ordinary people without enhancement. This often leads to newcomers being a drag and causing problems for the veterans. So, the usual way veterans handle newcomers is to ignore them and let them fend for themselves.

If the newcomers can survive, they do; if not, they die. Veterans avoid being dragged down by them and, if they are more ruthless, might even set the newcomers up to die intentionally to reduce their burden and avoid being implicated.

Zhong Junyu is a rare veteran who does not scheme to kill newcomers and is willing to help them when possible. Of course, Zhong Junyu is not a saint if newcomers get themselves into trouble, he won’t intervene.

Wei Zhixin, Jiang Hongxin, Mo Yuan, and Bai Xinrong are perpetually trying to escape. Every time they leave the hotel lobby, they turn around only to find themselves back in the lobby. The situation frightens them, making them try even harder to escape. Only Shuangshuang watches them running around in vain, unaffected.

Li Meng and Zhong Junyu were a bit surprised to see Shuangshuang sitting quietly by the side, calmly watching other newcomers exhaust themselves without any trace of fear on her face.

This is because Shuangshuang entered this world right on time. Although she saw the rotten head, the original Shuangshuang didn’t have time to scream before regaining her memory as the Main God Shuangshuang. With her rich experience, the Main God Shuangshuang certainly wouldn’t scream at a decaying head.

So, at this moment, Shuangshuang’s demeanor of calm composure appeared quite different from her usual delicate flower impression to Zhong Junyu and Li Meng.

Additionally, perhaps because Shuangshuang didn’t crowd around Zhong Junyu or look at him with admiration, she lacked the infatuated demeanor of her past life.

Hence, Li Meng didn’t feel the instant dislike towards Shuangshuang as she had in previous memories; instead, she looked at Shuangshuang with curiosity and asked, ”Hey, aren’t you scared? How come you’re so calm? Are you just naturally not afraid of anything?”

”Well, I was born with a bit more courage and a decent acceptance of new things,” Shuangshuang casually replied.

Li Meng showed an envious expression on her face, ”Having such natural courage is so nice. You don’t know how nearly terrified I was when I first entered the game. If not for Brother Junyu, I probably couldn’t have passed the first level.

Brother Junyu is a really good person. Many veterans are dangerous to newcomers, but Brother Junyu is different. You guys are lucky to have Brother Junyu guiding your batch.” Speaking of Zhong Junyu, Li Meng’s face clearly showed a sweet smile, with a hint of smugness in her tone.

Shuangshuang looked at Li Meng’s sweet and girlish demeanor, desperately wanting to remind her not to always flaunt how excellent the person she likes is, especially to another woman. This is how you invite rivals. After all, excellent men naturally attract women. In her previous life, many of Li Meng’s rivals were indeed attracted by her own actions.

However, Shuangshuang held back the urge to say this. She feared that if she reminded Li Meng, she might misunderstand and think she had an interest in Zhong Junyu, which wouldn’t be good. Although the girl wasn’t malicious enough to take lives, her endless pranking tactics were nothing to scoff at. Shuangshuang had witnessed them firsthand in her past life.

Perhaps feeling Shuangshuang’s distant attitude, Li Meng lost interest after a couple of sentences and turned her attention to Wei Zhixin, Jiang Hongxin, Mo Yuan, and Bai Xinrong, who were still tirelessly trying to leave.

After countless attempts, the four looked a bit disheveled, prompting Li Meng to let out a cold snort, ”You four should take a break. You won’t get out within the one-hour newcomer’s protection period anyway.

But I still advise you to cherish this sparse moment of stability because soon you’ll enter a new world that will make you cry tears of regret for not enjoying the short-lived peace it offered. The death rate for newcomers in the game is quite high.”

Li Meng’s words were laden with malice, and the mocking smile on her lips was immensely irritating. Mo Yuan was the first to lose her composure, tossing her long hair and striking an alluring pose as she smirked at Li Meng.

”Little sister, I’ve seen many people and many things. Do you think a few words from you can scare me? I don’t know how you make it so people can’t leave, but it’s probably some kind of maze trick.

Looking at you and that gentleman, you both have good looks. This wouldn’t happen to be some prank show, would it? Let me tell you, if this is a prank show, you’d better get the consent of us involved, otherwise when I get out, I’ll find a lawyer to sue you. If you handle it well, I wouldn’t be against making a show episode.”

Unexpectedly, after hearing Mo Yuan’s words, Li Meng didn’t retaliate with her usual sharp tongue but instead checked her watch and then looked up at Mo Yuan with a bizarre smile, ”Oh, so that’s what you think. There are still fifteen minutes left of the newcomer’s protection period. After these fifteen minutes, you’ll know if what I’m saying is true.”

With that, Li Meng didn’t waste more words on Mo Yuan and sat next to Zhong Junyu, who was resting, mimicking him by closing her eyes to rest, showing an attitude of utter silence.

Seeing Li Meng’s demeanor, Mo Yuan was slightly unsure. She suspiciously glanced at the closed-eyed duo, finally setting her gaze on the elite glasses-wearing Wei Zhixin.

Wei Zhixin adjusted his glasses silently, walked over, and seated himself on a nearby sofa, saying to Mo Yuan, Jiang Hongxin, and Bai Xinrong, ”Let’s sit and wait. Whether it’s true or not, fifteen minutes will pass quickly.”

As soon as Wei Zhixin had said this, Mo Yuan, Jiang Hongxin, and Bai Xinrong followed suit and sat down, dividing the lobby into three distinct groups.
