Chapter 106: The Truth!

Luo Huang tried to stand up and moved her body, finding that she was mostly fine.

The area on her abdomen that had been injured ached faintly, but it was mostly an illusion from the sudden healing after the intense pain earlier.

After all, even seeing someone else injured can cause phantom pain, let alone having just been severely wounded herself.

“Can we travel together from now on?”

Luo Huang forced a smile.

“Of course.”

Mu Bai agreed without a second thought.

She might as well see the good deed through.

It didn’t cost her anything extra, just a small favor.

Luo Huang knew that a simple request to tag along wouldn’t be rejected, but hearing the affirmative answer still made her breathe a little easier.

‘Mu Bai agreed without hesitation… Does that mean she has a decent impression of me?’

‘Even though I’m not familiar with her other teammates yet, if I raise my likability a bit more and show off my Talent and strength, they’ll definitely want to recruit me!’

That was how confident she was in her own Talent.

Actually, Luo Huang hadn’t been this desperate to join someone else’s team before.

But after this crisis, she had spent all her Train Coins to get Mu Bai’s help.

The final result was good—she even got her injuries healed—but her financial situation had plummeted.

Coincidentally, Mu Bai’s team seemed pretty good.

If she joined them, the 23 Train Coins she paid wouldn’t be a pure loss, but an investment!

Spending money on her future team—how could that be a waste?

Thinking this, Luo Huang’s mood eased considerably.

She was about to say something more when she suddenly froze.

“By the way… what’s your name again?”

Luo Huang asked awkwardly.

Mu Bai was taken aback.

‘Not cool, you don’t even remember my name?’

Beside them, Ye Yuan raised an eyebrow for some reason, and her cold gaze toward Luo Huang softened into a slightly “warmer” indifference.

“Mu Bai… It’s Mu Bai.”

Mu Bai said helplessly.

But then again, she only remembered Luo Huang’s name because the other woman often appeared in the chat channel.

A one-time meeting wasn’t enough for anyone to bother memorizing a name, unless it was love at first sight.

“Oh, oh, I’ll remember now.”

Luo Huang quickly promised she wouldn’t forget again.

Soon, she turned her attention to Mu Bai’s teammates.

Come to think of it, when she first rushed into this room, she had been stunned by these four people.

Now seeing them up close, she found it even more unbelievable.

How could four girls, each with a distinct style and all extremely beautiful, end up together?

All of them were gorgeous young women, all strong, and able to trust each other…

It was a team composition she wouldn’t have dared to imagine.

Such a group… it was perfect for her!

All girls meant no romantic entanglements, just pure friendship between teammates.

As for strength, she had already seen it.

Except for Mu Bai, the others were outstanding.

The girl with dark green hair and blue-green eyes gave her a very special feeling.

Her aura was faintly present, and when recalling the earlier battle, there was something strange about it.

She had joined the fight at some unknown point, and she had finished it off.

It gave Luo Huang a sense of unclear but dangerous strength.

The pink-haired girl with yellow eyes looked capable, clearly experienced in battle, and reacted very quickly.

She had charged head-on and even dodged the grenade.

She seemed trustworthy.

As for the black-haired girl with blue eyes, she gave off a cold, expert vibe, like a knight protecting Mu Bai.

Luo Huang had seen her take down an enemy from far away with two shots earlier; her marksmanship was excellent.

Only Mu Bai hadn’t directly joined the fight, but it was obvious that the team’s decisions and social interactions were all handled by her.

The three teammates clearly regarded her as the core, meaning Mu Bai either held the commander position or possessed some ability crucial to the team.

Either way, that was what Luo Huang wanted to see—because she only knew Mu Bai here, and the more important Mu Bai’s role, the more likely she could join the team.

“We all know about you. I’m Mo Cha, Mo as in ink, Cha as in tea.”

Mo Cha extended her hand.

She wasn’t the type to put herself forward, but she could see that Mu Bai valued this Luo Huang, so she was willing to do her a favor and not let the woman keep too low a profile.

She proactively introduced herself.

“I’m Tang Shifu, Shi as in poetry, Fu as in hibiscus.”

Tang Shifu followed suit and held out her hand.

“Ye Yuan.”

Ye Yuan said coldly.

For her, this was already quite accommodating.

“Nice to meet you all. I’m Luo Huang, Luo as in Luo River, Huang as in the grass radical character.”

Luo Huang symbolically introduced herself.

As she spoke, seeing two hands extended, Luo Huang’s brain short-circuited.

She reached out both hands at the same time and shook hands with Mo Cha and Tang Shifu.

Mu Bai: “…”

‘Can’t handle this.’

Because of Luo Huang’s temporary joining, Mu Bai and the others couldn’t reveal the existence of the [Portable Space] for now.

Mo Cha and Tang Shifu simply hung their assault rifles behind their backs, which wasn’t too inconvenient.

After all, Tang Shifu and Mu Bai each had a backpack; they could pretend they took the bullets out of the packs.

As for the Living Point Map, Mu Bai didn’t hide it.

Luo Huang hadn’t exposed her Talent, and the four of them hadn’t voluntarily revealed theirs either.

If they really turned hostile, the one who’d suffer would definitely be the lone newcomer.

It was just a tool, a way to show strength.

With the Living Point Map, they could try to avoid the monster rooms ahead and choose the Supply Rooms instead, reducing the cost and danger of combat.

Luo Huang was also surprised to find that even without guns, Mo Cha and Tang Shifu’s coordination could directly handle the enemies in the monster rooms.

This made Luo Huang more determined to join Mu Bai’s team.

And Mu Bai’s displayed control over the team also secretly shocked Luo Huang.

As everyone knew, among Players, the ones who made decisions were usually the strong.

In this collapsed order, a leader with weak combat ability would find it hard to gain obedience.

But the strangest thing about Mu Bai’s team was exactly that: Mu Bai’s three teammates followed her words without question.

The fact that Mu Bai held the Living Point Map proved her authority to some extent.

At the same time, during battles, they prioritized protecting Mu Bai, and when moving through rooms, they constantly checked on her stamina to see if she could keep up.

It was clear that the team’s focus was entirely on Mu Bai.

This greatly shocked Luo Huang.

This couldn’t be explained by simple camaraderie or friendship.

It was one thing for a day or two, but if they had to take such meticulous care of a deadweight every time they entered a Station, the others would definitely complain.

Let alone letting that deadweight command.

The only explanation was that this white-haired little loli, Mu Bai, was far from as simple as she looked!

She might very well be the real big boss!

Luo Huang felt she had discovered the truth!
