The Earth is Online

Chapter 135

TL: Bonus ko-fi chapter

Bai Ruoyao's injury was more serious than Fu Wensheng imagined. They both stayed in the kitchen for a quarter of an hour. The baby-faced youth looked at his bandaged right wrist while walking. To be honest, Xiao Fu's healing ability was excellent but his bandaging technique was completely rotten.

Bai Ruoyao looked meaningfully at his wrist and suddenly grinned.

The child immediately blushed and ran in a depressed manner to his brother and Tang Mo. After running a few steps, Fu Wensheng stopped and saw Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo quietly standing at the door, waiting for them. The child looked at them strangely before finally running up to them, thinking in his heart, 'Why do I feel like there is something wrong?

The trio packed their things and left the restaurant together. They had only taken a few steps when the baby-faced youth followed. Tang Mo turned to look at Bai Ruoyao. Bai Ruoyao smiled and mouthed, 'Did you want to wait for me?'

Tang Mo turned his head and ignored him.

Ruan w.a.n.gshu said that he would only do things three times. Since then, he didn't take the initiative to find Tang Mo and make trouble. However, Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo didn't intend to stop. They wouldn't take the initiative to find the Tian Xuan organization but this didn't mean the beef on both sides had been settled. If they encountered each other in a future instance, it would be difficult to cooperate. Once they became hostile, they would eradicate each other.

Still, their top priority wasn't the Tian Xuan organization. It was the transparent person.

The trio walked quickly in the direction of Fu Wensheng's home. On the way, the three of them were tense because they were wary of another sneak attack from the Tian Xuan organization. Secondly, they were alert to the baby-faced youth behind them. In the afternoon, the three people were about to turn into a s.p.a.cious road. Suddenly, Fu Wenduo stopped and reached out to grab Tang Mo's wrist.

Tang Mo was slightly surprised.

Fu Wenduo stated, "There is someone."

Tang Mo calmed down and intently looked around. He saw that there was no one in the middle of a s.p.a.cious intersection. A few dead leaves weer rolled up by a small cyclone, mixing with sand stones and floating in the air. There was dead silence. Apart from his own breathing, Tang Mo couldn't hear a thing.

Fu Wensheng was surprised when he saw this scene. Then he calmed his heart and looked around with vigilance. He wasn't aware of an ambush around him with his strength and observation, but he understood what his brother and Tang Mo were doing. They quietly observed from a corner, Bai Ruoyao separated from them by five metres. He leaned against the wall with a smile and didn't move.

Three minutes later, a sly voice came from the west. The next second, two big men rushed out of a dark alley towards a s.h.i.+fty looking man. The man was startled and the three people wrestled together. Tang Mo stood in the corner and watched calmly as the big man was knocked out and taken away by the two men. Then they continued on their way.

It was noon but the sky was dark and it was raining heavily.

The three people found a hot pot restaurant to stop at. Bai Ruoyao put his hands in his pocket, seemingly not noticing the rain hitting his head as he slowly walked into the hot pot restaurant. Shortly after they entered, Fu Wenduo got up and went to the door with Fu Wensheng. Tang Mo stood at the door and talked to them for a while. Not too much time pa.s.sed before the rain stopped and Fu Wenduo left the hot pot restaurant with his younger brother.

Seeing this sudden scene, Bai Ruoyao glanced at Tang Mo not far away and the smile on his face widened.

Tang Mo didn't seem to notice his gaze. Once the rain stopped, he got up and planned to leave the hot pot restaurant.

"Hehe, Tang Tang…"

His voice just fell when there was a sharp burst of wind behind him. Tang Mo dodged sideways at an extremely fast speed. The smile had disappeared from Bai Ruoyao's face as a slender silver b.u.t.terfly knife flashed in his right hand. The knife with a beautiful pattern rubbed against Tang Mo's throat.

Tang Mo pulled out the small parasol. He looked up coldly at Bai Ruoyao and the two of them attacked.

Bai Ruoyao's speed, strength and responsiveness were slightly higher than Tang Mo. Every aspect as high and it was quite terrible when they were all combined. Tang Mo would soon fall without the use of his abilities. Tang Mo bent backwards, his hand supporting himself on the ground as he avoided the silver b.u.t.terfly knife. He never imagined that Bai Ruoyao would gently move his left hand and for a dark shadow to emerge from it. Tang Mo couldn't escape and another b.u.t.terfly knife hit him.

The two b.u.t.terfly knives completely blocked Tang Mo's retreat.

The blade seemed slender but it gave off a cold glow. Bai Ruoyao slowly smiled and didn't stop his hand, the two knives stabbing at Tang Mo's neck. At this time, Tang Mo bent down and slammed both hands against the ground, whispering, "Gravity suppression!"

Bang!

Bai Ruoyao slammed hard into the ground. Due to his extremely fast reaction rate, he rolled on the ground and wasn't hurt. But once he stood up again, he felt like he had been filled with lead and it was difficult to move. He tested it out and felt the gravitational pressure he had been subjected to. Bai Ruoyao sat directly on the ground and looked at the opposite Tang Mo. "A gravity ability? Before that… the child who attacked in vain?"

Tang Mo quickly removed his hands and widened the distance, lightly looking at Bai Ruoyao before leaving.

Bai Ruoyao looked at Tang Mo's back with narrowed eyes. Tang Mo was just walking out of the hot shop gate when Bai Ruoyao realized. "You just used me to try out your new power?"

Tang Mo's footsteps didn't stop at all as he headed out of the gate.

Bai Ruoyao sneered as he got off from the ground and followed.

Yes, Tang Mo deliberately let Bai Ruoyao attack him. He knew for a long time that Bai Ruoyao was clever and had probably guessed that Tang Mo had multiple abilities. This person was like dog plaster. Tang Mo couldn't get rid of him at all. Tang Mo had many abilities that would be revealed sooner or later. It was better to take Bai Ruoyao as a target and test how effective his new ability was against a powerful opponent.

[Ability: Gravity Imbalance]

[Owner: Ruan w.a.n.gshu (Stowaway)]

[Type: Four Dimensional]

[Function: Manipulating the power of gravity.]

[Level: 5]

[Restrictions: You need to touch both hands to the ground to use the ability. You can use it three times a day for a total of 30 seconds. It is hard to advance.]

[Note: I am a rare and serious ability, even the note is extremely serious.]

[Tang Mo version usage instructions: When using the ability, you must call out the words 'gravity suppression.' It can be used only three times a day and the total usage time is 10 seconds. If stepping on dog p.o.o.p is bad luck, Tang Mo's whole life must be stepping on dog p.o.o.p.]

Previously, when he sent Bai Ruoyao away and looked at his ability, Tang Mo didn't shy away from Fu Wenduo.

In fact, many things had long been guessed. The feeling of deja vu, the tacit understanding without words, the familiar but somewhat strange sense of distance. Tang Mo never thought that out of China's 1.3 billion people, Victor would still be alive and they would end up meeting. This type of probability was small enough that the infinite non-probability pocket watch to play a role, but it actually happened.

Tang Mo seemed very calm on the surface, like Victor was just an ordinary netizen fan. He was actually a bit happy and forgot to move away from Fu Wenduo. Thus, once he opened the abilities book, the phrase 'stepping on dog p.o.o.p' came into view.

Tang Mo, "…"

Fu Wenduo, "…"

Tang Mo threw the abilities book out the window and it disappeared into the air. Tang Mo felt complicated. He was keen to justify that this abilities book was clean and civilized despite its poor mouth. This time was a pure accident! It was an accident to damage Tang Mo.

Tang Mo hadn't been able to open his mouth when Fu Wenduo let out a low laugh.

Tang Mo's heart gradually calmed down. He looked up at the man in front of him and smiled slowly, "When did you know that it was me?"

Fu Wenduo replied, "In Nanjing, you once mentioned your job." There was a pause and he added, "It was… a librarian?"

Tang Mo recalled it.

He did mention his job to Fu Wenduo but he remembered that Victor shouldn't know this fact.

Fu Wenduo explained, "Last June, you said that someone came to borrow a book but a book was lost and they refused to lose money."

Tang Mo remembered that he really said such a thing. When playing bridge, it was impossible to not talk. The two people would concentrate and occasionally chat to each other. At that time, Tang Mo had been really angry. His character had always been relatively cold. Then a 50 year old man clearly lost his book but the person kept insisting that he had returned the book and it was rejected by Tang Mo's colleague.

It was rare to see such a thing and Tang Mo had mentioned it to Victor when playing cards that night.

Tang Mo suddenly thought, "Wait, you guessed I was a librarian from that?" He remembered that he had only said one sentence, saying that something bad happened today. A person borrowed a book and didn't return it.

Fu Wenduo raised his eyebrows.

The two men gazed at each other and laughed a moment later.

It was hard to confirm the ident.i.ty of the other person but there wasn't much time to catch up. Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo took advantage of Bai Ruoyao's absence to plan for the next few days. On the surface, they were going to Xiao Fu's home to find clues about his loved ones. In fact, they deliberately took the long road and approached the black tower above the Forbidden City.

It was here that Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo and Fu Wensheng separated. The latter two went to challenge the tower attack game together while Tang Mo would go to Peking University to partic.i.p.ate in the dangerous reality instance. The three people separated at the hot pot store. Tang Mo touched the turkey egg in his pocket. He seemed relaxed but was always wary about Bai Ruoyao, who could attack at any time.

Fu Wenduo and Fu Wensheng must go to the tower attack game.

They wouldn't have to be so anxious if it wasn't for the invisible people. The black tower 4.0 version could update at any time. The att.i.tude of the mysterious invisible people weren't clear but based on their current behavior of madly hunting Earth players, they probably wouldn't be easy to get along with. Since it was proven that Mu Huixue was an invisible player, the reason why she obtained a separate song from the black tower was probably because she cleared the black tower's fourth floor.

On the day when Tang Mo and the Russian player Andrei just cleared the third floor, Mu Huixue had cleared the fourth floor.

The strength of the invisible people's camp couldn't be underestimated.

Fu Wenduo and Fu Wensheng had long been able to partic.i.p.ate in the tower attack game but they delayed it. Now that they were leaving to attack the tower, Tang Mo's only concern was that this snake would find a chance to kill him. However, just like it was extremely difficult for him to kill Bai Ruoyao, it was also very difficult for Bai Ruoyao to kill him.

The two people kept a suitable distance and were on guard against the other person, while pretending to be very calm on the serious.

Slowly, Tang Mo went to an old neighbourhood. Tang Mo was about to turn into an alley when Bai Ruoyao stopped. He stood in the alley and looked at it for a moment before asking, "Are you going to Peking University's reality instance?"

Tang Mo ignored him and moved on.

The Peking University reality instance had some fame in Beijing after it was discovered half a month ago. With the exception of the Tian Xuan organization, many large groups in Beijing came to challenge it. Without exception, they all died inside. Tang Mo had the King's Gold Coin and currently needed to enhance his strength. It wasn't suitable for him to challenge a new tower attack game. Thus, he chose this place.

Tang Mo thought that Bai Ruoyao would be troubled. Who wouldn't expected this dog skin plaster to actually follow him?"

"Can you guess why I came with you?"

Tang Mo glanced at the man and spoke to him for the first time. "Why?"

Bai Ruoyao smiled, his eyes slipping from the top of Tang Mo's head downwards. Finally, he winked. "Because… Tang Tang, you don't seem to die."

Tang Mo was stunned when he heard this before he immediately remembered something. The next moment, Tang Mo closed his eyes and when he opened them, a ray of light flashed in his eyes. He stared intently at the baby-faced youth in front of him. It was called staring but in fact, his eyes weren't focused, like he wasn't seeing the specific person. The more he looked, the stranger Tang Mo's face became.

After a long moment of silence, Tang Mo's lips curved and he said pleasantly, "I will repeat your words. It seemed like you… won't die."

Bai Ruoyao was keenly aware of an abnormality but when he carefully observed Tang Mo, the other side looked calm.

Tang Mo happily headed to the entrance of Peking University, while Bai Ruoyao skeptically followed, calculating things in his mind.

The two of them had just walked near a stone lion next to Peking University's gate when a majesty female voice was heard. The two of them quickly turned their heads and saw a horrible shadow running through the gate of Peking University at a very fast speed. She held a rolled up book and slammed it hard towards a little girl.

The burly woman, who was like a giant, roared angrily, "You are lazy and refuse to read, Mosaic!"

"Ding dong! Players Liu Wansheng, Lin Qianxi, Tang Mo and Bai Ruoyao have triggered the side mission 'The curse of going to school and not studying well' and officially entered the reality instance 'All types of inferior products.' Please go into the school and start the game."

The glare in his eyes gradually darkened. Tang Mo's eyes narrowed as he finally saw the terrible woman standing in the middle of the school gates.
