Chapter 702: 13.3 – Missed Star – Elimination Stage
Backstage, the group of directors and producers adjust the locations of the broadcast cameras in order to showcase the quality of the contestants to these golden-thighed investors.
Among them, the dangerous-looking man from before is with them. This man has extremely handsome features as if God sculpted his face personally. Within this group of old elite men, his existence was centralized as if the monarch was surrounded by his ministers. He had the highest standing within the group as well. This man is the world Protagonist Gong, Long Xie.
Long Xie noticed Ye Qiuji’s scene at the river. He is currently half naked, standing in waist-high water with only a pair of black trousers. His skin was white and smooth, and his weaker-looking body was covered with thin and graceful muscles, shining after the dip in the water. He had solid abs, a small navel, and a sexy V-line exposed.
With the hints of blood on his arms and neck from his enemies, by the shore of the river are numerous dead bodies numbering close to a hundred. Moonlight shone above him; he looked like a seductive little devil. His beauty is suffocating. Long Xie could feel that he is being teased through the screen by an enchanting, playful, little devil.
Couldn’t help but feel his throat dry at the scene. Within the room, the backstage countless gulping and gasping were echoing within the room. Once he heard the sounds in his surroundings, Long Xie’s eyes squinted dangerously, scaring the people inside the room and they couldn’t help but lower their heads after a few minutes their curiosity stepped past their fears toward Long Xie and still secretly peek through the huge screen showing their goddess.
They watched him tilt his head at his back for a bit and faced the angle of the small hovering surveillance camera as he noticed its presence getting near him. Staring at it for a moment they saw his exquisite and paralleled beauty quite close then a mischievous smile ascended on those pair of cherry lips taking their breath away.
Bang!
.....
Only when they heard a single gunshot and the close scene of Ye Qiuji disappeared did they realize that the surveillance camera was shot down by someone.
Long Xie commanded, “Hurry and move another camera to that location!”
Staff responded, “Y-Yes! R-Right away.”
But even after they took the fastest speed to move another camera to Ye Qiuji’s location, it still took half an hour before they saw Ye Qiuji back on the screen. He is now wearing a clean uniform from the game with a white towel tainted with blood and water on his head.
Standing beside him is another man with dark skin and golden eyes holding an M4 rifle with a night scope attached in his hands. This man is quite a beauty as well though his appearance looked more like a dark cool beauty. He is fully equipped like Ye Qiuji who just finished bathing. They heard the current conversation.
—
“Ruru, how many have you killed?” asked Ye Qiuji nonchalantly.
Tang Ruan answered. “75. I heard the announcement you killed too many. 100 in 3 hours. Don’t bully the weak, Qiu!”
“But I didn’t do anything. I landed near that box and they attacked me. They also disturbed me when I’m eating!” said Ye Qiuji with a complaining tone.
Tang Ruan noticed the hovering little surveillance camera getting near them. He was about to shoot it down once again but was stopped by Ye Qiuji.
Ye Qiuji let the little camera hover near him, “Ruru, don’t shoot it down. These little things must be surveillance cameras. They needed it to record the player’s perspectives. Did you shoot down yours?”
“Shot down five of it,” replied Tang Ruan as he rolled his eyes, his action saying that it was not his fault. “That perverted thing even recorded you bathing, it deserved to be shot down!”
Ye Qiu poke the little camera teasingly, “Little perverted thing. You’ve got scolded ba.” There’s a playful smile on his face.
—
Backstage, most people who were inside the room felt they were being teased directly by the beauty and blushed shyly as they lowered their heads in slight guilt. Only Long Xie watched the screen with a small smile on his face. His scarlet eyes which used to glint only with danger, have been replaced with mirth while looking at Ye Qiuji’s figure on the screen.
Once the pair disappeared from the screen, his face once again turned cold. The atmosphere inside the room was once again noiseless and edgy. Everyone’s eyes were peeking at the cold dangerous monarch at the center of the room.
Long Xie spoke, “What is his name?”
It took a short silence before the program producer answered as he was poked on the back by his assistant.
“He’s called Ye Qiu. The one with a sniping rifle is Ru Tang.”
Long Xie moves his eyes and looks at the program producer who flinched as he saw his eyes. “His skills are already top-notch and even professional players can barely contend with him. Why is he inside the Elimination Stage for Trainees?” the monarch asked.
The producer answered, “...He... He said he wanted to be a trainee first... when he told me he passed the professional level interview.”
His assistant, the former lead examiner said, “He wanted to play more. Boss.”
Long Xie is the owner of Snowflake Entertainment Company and one of the main shareholders of the Crossover Survival Variety Program and Tartarus Field. Long Xie stayed silent for a moment as if he felt his deep thoughts.
Long Xie, “Let him play around. I will enter the audition competition incognito and check him personally. As for his surveillance records, end it here. Send me the original copy and leave nothing on the database, especially the scene in the river.”
“Yes!”
Long Xie left the room followed by his blonde friend, He Yuu. Once they left the room, He Yuu teased his little friend. He knew that this abstinent friend of his fell at first sight with that Silver haired beauty on the screen.
He Yuu smirked at his friend. “A’Long~ did you fall for the silver-haired beauty?”
Long Xie looked at him like he was an idiot. “Are you pretending to be blind? Silly He. Don’t you recognize him?”
Bewildered. “Recognized? The Silver-haired beauty? You know him.” Asked He Yuu.
“Sigh~ I thought you were only silly, but it seems you’re an idiot as well.” Said Long Xie as he hurried to return to his room and enter the current game.
He Yuu is following him behind in confusion but his friend doesn’t seem to have any intention to explain it to him. But it was decided that he will enter the game with Long Xie.
The Competition is about to end as there are only the last 50 players on the field. The game will end after the top 20 players remain. Coincidentally Ye Wusheng and Tu Zise were still alive on the field. In the shadows, Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan were tailing them.
When Long Xie and He Yuu have been circling the field and helping with the elimination of useless players while looking around for Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan. They bumped accidentally into the two youngsters roasting meat under the bonfire.
The two youngsters already noticed their presence, but they moved too fast for these younglings to escape on time. But their danger awareness is quite amazing as they were able to ready their guns in retaliation.
As they pulled the trigger of their automatic rifles Long Xie kicked the one on Tu Zise’s hand while stepping on the one Ye Wusheng was holding.
He Yuu saw the two children’s appearance, and he then knew that they took the silver-haired boy as someone else.
He Yuu said. “Boss~ this boy doesn’t seem to be your sweetheart~. But their skills don’t seem bad at all~”
Ye Wusheng instantly hid Tu Zise behind him and glared at the two adult men before them. He can’t feel their auras at all, but his intuition is telling him that these two men were extremely dangerous, especially the man with obsidian hair. His presence is domineering and dangerous.
He can see that this tall man looked to be about twenty-six or seven years old. His facial hair is deep and powerful, and he looked extremely captivating in a different way than his elder brother’s beauty, if it’s something else he is extremely handsome. When he looked at him, he felt like he was being looked up to by an emperor.
Ye Wusheng stayed silent and didn’t dare to speak as he felt that he was not allowed to do so. He just glared at them powerless but still remained towering before Tu Zise carefully protected him from behind.
Tu Zise secretly brought out a hand grenade in his hand intending to end his and Ye Wusheng’s life in the game to prevent other players from bullying them like before. This is their only plan when they’ve met an opponent that is beyond them.
Long Xie stepped back and lowered his weapon. Slightly raise both of his hands up which startled his friend and the two youngsters.
He Yuu bewildered. “B-Boss what are... you...” only then he noticed that two high-caliber rifles were targeting them from within the forest. When he looked through the deep forest, two figures above the trees were targeting him and Long Xie, intended to shoot as long as they made a move on the two youngsters. The red dot looming on their vitals made He Yuu shiver. The light lays stable above their hearts and heads.
“Shit! Since then we’ve been targeted.”
Long Xie glanced at his friend. “Lower your gun, Silly He. At this distance, it is close to impossible to dodge a bullet from two high-tier S targeting. Much more from...” He Yuu lowered his gun and raised his hands when he heard his friend’s explanation. It seems that the ones targeting them are the pair they’ve been looking for.
“Damn! How come I haven’t noticed them at all!” He Yuu complained loudly with his hand raised up.
The children were completely confused when they heard the conversation between the two and saw their current actions.
Tu Zise peered from behind Ye Wusheng and then asked, “A’Wu what’s happening?”
“Someone is helping us. Pick up our things and prepare to leave, Tutu.” Said Ye Wusheng who is currently gathering their things and left the venue with Tu Zise.
Looking back at the dark forest not see anything from within but still respectfully bowed his head once before taking their leave. Once the children left two figures appeared from the forest. It was Ye Qiuji and Tang Ruan. He Yuu recognized Tang Ruan because of his semi-altered appearance. He just changes his black hair to ash blonde while keeping his golden irises the same.
He Yuu excitedly ran to carry Tang Ruan in disbelief. He Yuu is Tang Ruan’s legal fiancé. “Xiao Ru! You are here! I thought those fake identities you’ve asked me to make are for someone else. I’ve never expected you’ll be playing Tartarus instead.”
Tang Ruan let himself be lifted to the ground by his lover in shock. “A’Yuu? Why are you here!?”
The other pair is not as harmonious as the other two. Ye Qiuji is looking at Long Xie like he is something weird with his guard completely up. He can feel Long Xie staring at him from head to toe as if peeling his clothes. His crimson eyes were glinting dangerously.
Ye Qiuji’s thoughts, ‘Yue. Who is this man?’
Answering the Host. That man is this world’s Protagonist Gong, Long Xie.
As soon as he heard from his system that this man before him is the protagonist gong, Ye Qiuji couldn’t help but glare at the man. As this is the man who will order someone to gang rape and torture him in the future. Just recalling the scenes in those memories, he had received made him unable to like this man at all. He instinctively hates him as a man who loves cleanliness.
