As the thought rose up in s.h.i.+ Yao's mind, she swallowed back her earlier questions and instead asked, "Are you feeling better from your cold?"

With a heavy nasal voice, [111111] replied with an "Mm" .

Hearing that, s.h.i.+ Yao couldn't help but think of Lin Jiage .

While a cold wasn't a particularly severe illness, it could be quite agonizing for the sick person . She couldn't help wondering how he was doing today .

[111111]: "Ready . "

Snapping out from her wandering thoughts . s.h.i.+ Yao was just about to tap on the ' ready 1 ' b.u.t.ton when she noticed that there were some unread messages in her friend list .

Tapping into her friend list, she noted that the messages were from the gaming friend she had met earlier in the afternoon, [Northern Tea] . "Sis, let me join your team too!"

So after sending a squad invitation out to [Northern Tea], she told [111111], "I'll be pulling a friend into the squad . "

Room 501 .

A man was covered in a thick blanket . His nostrils were stuffed with two wads of tissues, and a cooling patch was stuck on his forehead—it was Lin Jiage .

He a.s.sumed that [Yao Loves Ice Cream] would be pulling one of her real-life female friends into the squad, so he didn't pay much attention to it and started the game .

Upon reaching the matching phase of the game, he suddenly heard a male voice in his earphone .

It was from their new squad member, [Northern Tea]: "Sis, have you had dinner?"

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: "I did . "

[Northern Tea]: "What did you eat?"

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: "Hot pot . "

Seeing how the duo was chatting well with each other, Lin Jiage frowned . Typing on the keyboard, he asked: [Who's he?]

Yao Loves Ice Cream: [A new friend I met this afternoon . ]

Lin Jiage didn't speak anymore, but an inexplicable feeling of displeasure clouded over his heart . It was the same displeased feeling he felt yesterday in his grandfather's ward, when he learned that Han Jing had sent a message to s.h.i.+ Yao .

It sure was weird . How could Big White Chubby and Soft Bun induce the same emotions within him?

[Yao Loves Ice Cream] spoke up once more: [Northern Tea is a really strong player . He brought our team two chicken dinners earlier in the afternoon . ]

Heh . . . From the day we first met, I've led you into at least twenty chicken dinners, but why haven't I heard you call me strong before?

Lin Jiage suddenly found himself in no mood to speak at all .

Ever since the game started, [Northern Tea] and [Yao Loves Ice Cream] hadn't stopped talking for even a moment .

Whenever [Northern Tea] killed a player, he would ask, "Sis, am I incredible?"

And [Yao Loves Ice Cream] would respond with, "Yes, you're very incredible!"

Incredible, your head! What is there to boast about, killing a bot in the remote mountains where there's no one in sight?

Lin Jiage inwardly snorted .

[Northern Tea]: "Sis, there's a Level 3 Helmet here, come over and pick it up!"

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: "Coming!"

[Northern Tea]: "Am I great?"

[Yao Loves Ice Cream]: "You're wonderful . "

Hehehe, wonderful, your head! Who'd have thought that on top of being plump, Big White Chubby would turn out to be so blind too!

Glancing at the blue zone, Lin Jiage swiftly found a car in the area before honking at them repeatedly, signaling for them to get on the car to flee from the poison 2 .

[Northern Tea] first got on the car, followed by [Yao Loves Ice Cream] . After which, [Northern Tea], who was initially sitting at the front pa.s.senger seat, swiftly switched to the back so he could sit side by side with [Yao Loves Ice Cream] .

Screw that, do they think I'm their chauffeur?

Angered, Lin Jiage stepped furiously on the accelerator and sped his way forward .

[Northern Tea]: "Sis, watch closely as I treat you to a chicken dinner this round!"

Lin Jiage sniffed in his runny nose as he inwardly mocked him disdainfully: Your inferior skills are only enough to deal with bots, yet you still want to carry other people into victory?

As the thought rose up in s.h.i.+ Yao's mind, she swallowed back her earlier questions and instead asked, "Are you feeling better from your cold?" .

With a heavy nasal voice, [111111] replied with an "Mm"

Lin Jiage sniffed in his runny nose as he inwardly mocked him disdainfully: Your inferior skills are only enough to deal with bots, yet you still want to carry other people into victory? . For those who are unfamiliar with games, in most multiplayer games, players will first enter a 'room' which confirms that they will be in the same team for the match, and all players have to be in the 'ready' state in order for the room leader to start the game . This is a term used amongst PUBG players in China . The blue zone is considered as the poisonous area, and getting to safety is termed as 'flee from poison'
