Chapter 127

1565L: Axue probably doesn't want Gong Ting's personality, right?

1566L: Probably not, if he wins, he'll get Jade Liquor's life, there's no need to take a personality as well. I think he wants Brother Hao's or Ling Feng Maomao's.

1567L: Is it possible that he's just proposing it for the thrill of it? If he intentionally wants to obtain the male lead's or Ling Feng's personality, wouldn't that make him a proper villain?

Have you ever seen a shonen manga where a friend of the protagonist group (from the hero faction) would want to control the protagonist group?

1568L: LMAO, isn't Bai Xuechao villainous enough already. (Doge emoji)

1569L: No one ever said that characters have to be divided into hero and villain factions. I don't think Xuexue can be measured by factions. Didn't the OP also think that Xuexue is both good and evil?

1570L: As expected, now that our Xue is getting popular, people are again getting caught up in whether he's a hero or a villain. Hasn't this been discussed before? I remember the conclusion was that he's neither a hero nor a villain. Besides, in various works, aren't there plenty of characters who seem like villains at first but are then won over by the protagonist?

1571L: (Raises hand) Maybe having your personality taken away doesn't have a big impact? Besides, the OP only has a slight suspicion that betting the personality is part of the plan, it doesn't mean it's definitely like that, right?

1572L: How could it not have an impact, wake up, person above!

1573L: Actually, I also think that my wifey deliberately proposed for everyone to bet their personalities. Although he looks crazy, it doesn't stop him from calculating everything. (Obediently)

1574L: 1571L, did you even read the manga carefully... I sentence you to re-read the conversation between Ling Feng and Bai Xuechao after Ling Feng's first refusal!

Bai Xuechao also said that there are two possible outcomes of losing one's personality, do you think that's called 'no impact'?

1575L: [Manga screenshot.jpg] I've brought the answer right over.

To become an ignorant, unfeeling walking corpse or someone else's slave.

1576L: Let's discuss this rationally, becoming a slave is more likely, right? If you become a walking corpse, what's the value in winning? And one person doesn't need two personalities.

1577L: Pass it on, my wifey wants to make Brother Hao and Ling Feng Maomao his slaves. (Doge emoji)

1578L: +1 on becoming a slave, that's the only way it has value.

1579L: My wifey might really want Brother Hao's and Maomao's personalities, but I believe my wifey definitely doesn't want to hurt them! He's very kind!

1580L: The person above shocked me, where on earth did you see that Bai Xuechao is kind? (Question mark face)

Or is it that your wifey and the one I'm talking about are not the same person?

1581L: I'm sorry, while you guys were having a serious discussion, my mind was full of Little Xue's master-servant play with Hao-zi-ge or Ling Feng Maomao (.) I repent!

1582L: Person in front, you are not alone! The master-servant thing is too hot! (Wiping drool)

1583L: Even if it's something Brother Hao and Ling Feng Maomao are unwilling to do, as long as my wifey holds their personalities and commands them, they will have to go against their body's will and do it hehehe. (Little face all yellow) (Wiping nosebleed)

1584L: We're being serious, what are you guys thinking about hahaha!

1585L: But it really is hot, if the one who loses their personality is my wifey, that would be divine! (Shouting loudly)

1586L: That's right, divine!! (Voice cracks from shouting)

Seeing this, Bai Xuechao was speechless: "..."

Rest assured, your thoughts will not be realized.

At this moment, Xiao 6 let out a lewd laugh in his mind. The sound was very low, but it was still heard by Bai Xuechao. Although it didn't say anything, it seemed to have said everything.

Bai Xuechao once again typed out a row of ellipses in his mind.

Heh, did he not understand? His idiot system was just like this.

He skipped over the increasingly derailed discussions and found the floor posted by the OP.

1597L[OP]: Before I talk about Bai Xuechao, let me add a little more about Gong Ting and the Apocalypse Society.

First, let's talk about Gong Ting's mission.

We already know that Gong Ting is a member of the Apocalypse Society, and we also know that he wants to win all of Brother Hao's game coins to complete the leader's mission. No one thinks that the Apocalypse Society leader's mission for him is just to win against Brother Hao, right? (Wiping sweat)

Let's review the appearance of the Apocalypse Society leader [Manga screenshot.jpg], he found the nullification special ability user interesting. At that time, most people on the forum believed that the leader was interested in Brother Hao's special ability and might target the male lead. Then let's review what Brother Hao said after Gong Ting gave a few examples when he was exchanging for game coins upon first arriving at Dream Game City. [You want me to exchange my special ability?.jpg]

As we all know, Brother Hao's intuition is quite accurate.

Gong Ting wanted Brother Hao to exchange his special ability, and he also wanted to win all of Brother Hao's game coins. It's very easy to draw the conclusion: he wants to win Brother Hao's special ability.

Therefore, the leader of the Apocalypse Society wants Brother Hao's special ability, and this is Gong Ting's mission.

The guess I mentioned in 82L of this post is completely correct, Gong Ting's target is Brother Hao. Dream Game City is a conspiracy by the Apocalypse Society. In order to complete the leader's mission, Gong Ting used a scheme to capture Xiao Xi, forcing Brother Hao (Ling Feng was just a bonus) to participate in the game, and then exchange his special ability.

How should I put this, the leader of the Apocalypse Society is indeed interested in Brother Hao's special ability, but it's a little different from what we thought... (Scratching head)

What we thought "interested in the special ability" meant: targeting Brother Hao, testing Brother Hao's special ability and potential limits, and maybe even taking a liking to Brother Hao and inviting him to join the Apocalypse Society.

What "interested in the special ability" actually meant: wanting to take Brother Hao's special ability away.

Next, let's talk about Gong Ting's disloyalty.

I think he doesn't want to be in the Apocalypse Society at all, and is trying to find a way to escape.

Please see the screenshot [I became his 'most loyal' subordinate.jpg]

Gong Ting lost his freedom to the leader of the Apocalypse Society, which is why he became his subordinate. And "most loyal" has to be in quotes, the three words "unwilling" were practically written on Gong Ting's face. Someone pointed this out before, but now I can be sure that he wants to escape the control of the Apocalypse Society.

Back to this update, when Bai Xuechao asked Gong Ting what he wanted to exchange, Gong Ting asked him if he thought personality included self-dominion. Bai Xuechao said it did, so Gong Ting supported exchanging personality.

Gong Ting has no freedom, and it seems he has lost his self-dominion, which is why he would ask Bai Xuechao that.

According to Bai Xuechao's earlier words, losing one's personality could lead to becoming a slave, so the corresponding winner would gain dominion over the loser.

Both personality and freedom involve dominion. Gong Ting is trying to take a gamble, to see if it will be a game between the leader of the Apocalypse Society and the person who wins his personality, or if he will become even more miserable, dominated by two people. If he wins the gamble, the dominion of the two will conflict, and perhaps the leader of the Apocalypse Society will no longer be able to dominate him.

This is Gong Ting's first method. My evaluation is: very bold, but it could backfire.

Later, Gong Ting said that if he couldn't think of anything else within a minute, he would exchange his personality. He thought to himself that if he could get Brother Hao's personality, the leader might give him his freedom back.

He wanted to earn his freedom back from the leader through "meritorious service." This is the second method. My evaluation is: go to sleep, you can have anything in your dreams =.=

If Gong Ting could really win Brother Hao's personality, it would only prove that he is an excellent tool. The leader of a villain organization would have to be doing charity to let him go. (Wiping sweat)

Sometimes I really feel that Gong Ting is a foolish pretty boy (.). He clearly has a handsome face, but he is either being played around by Bai Xuechao, or his ideas are somewhat naive.

But to say he's a fool, he's not that foolish either. After all, can a fool learn cheating techniques? Can he use schemes to plot against the protagonist group? Before Bai Xuechao appeared, Brother Hao and the others had no hope of victory. If Gong Ting were really a fool, then Brother Hao would become a fool who is even more foolish than a fool QAQ...

By the way, let me say a fair word for Xiao Xi. Recently, there have been many people on the forum scolding Xiao Xi for being a burden, which has made the atmosphere on the forum very unpleasant, and everyone is very unhappy.

Gong Ting came prepared. Even if Xiao Xi wasn't caught this time, Gong Ting would still find a way to catch either Xiao Xi or Ling Feng later to threaten Brother Hao into joining the game. According to the characters' personalities, this person would most likely still be Xiao Xi, because we all know that Ling Feng is very vigilant, so the success rate wouldn't be high. (Disclaimer: I'm really not a Xiao Xi hater!)

So it was inevitable that Xiao Xi would be caught, it was for the sake of plot development (don't ask me where a simulated world gets its plot from, I'm begging you), and Xiao Xi isn't really a burden, she did find the special ability energy crystal, and she was still thinking about the special ability energy crystal when she was locked in the secret room.

She just lacked some vigilance and fell for Gong Ting's trick, but this is a character setting, you can't blame Xiao Xi, if you want to scold someone, scold Bai old scoundrel! (Boldly)

Next, let's talk about Bai Xuechao. I have too much to say, so I'll write a table of contents first. Wait for me to type like crazy!

(1) Bai Xuechao manipulates the game situation.

(2) Let's talk about the value of Bai Xuechao's kinship, friendship, love, and personality. (And a little about Brother Hao, Ling Feng, and Gong Ting)

(3) Guess whose personality Bai Xuechao wants and what he wants to do with it.

(4) Bai Xuechao may have self-destructive tendencies.

1598L: This isn't a little, this is a ton. (Laughing while crying)

1599L: Damn, my CP is BE before it even started?

1600L: What CP? (Stunned)

1601L: They all say Gong Ting fell into my Xue's trap, but didn't the male lead also fall into Gong Ting's and the Apocalypse Society's trap? (Knocking on wooden fish)

1602L: I only saw "Brother Hao is a fool who is even more foolish than a fool." (Doge emoji)

1603L: My Xi-bao is indeed not vigilant enough, but Ling Feng is vigilant to the max, the trio complements each other~ (Making a heart sign with fingers)

1604L: That's right, the trio is the best when they are together! (Puffing out chest)

1605L: Replying to 1600L, the CP of Hao-zi-ge and the leader of the Apocalypse Society.

At first, he was only interested in the nullification special ability, but gradually became interested in Hao-zi-ge as a person, and then fell into a deep pit, unable to extricate himself, wanting to have him!

The above is my imagination. (Twiddling fingers)

1606L: Hahahaha the person above, your imagination is killing me.

1607L: 1602L, you're a genius at taking things out of context hahahaha, be careful the OP doesn't track you down through the internet to beat you up!

1608L: Shipping CPs in a shonen manga, you deserve to have your rice bowl smashed. (Doge emoji)

1609L: Gong Ting isn't a fool, he's just, uh, uneducated (just kidding), I hereby call on everyone not to be an uneducated person. (doge)

1610L: Wuwuwu 1608 is so cruel, fine, I deserve it. (I'm crying)

But I'll dare to do it again next time, hehe! (I'm pretending)

1611L: Gong Ting has a kind of beauty that comes from not having been beaten down by society. But he has always been confined to the casino, which is equivalent to growing up in a casino without any contact with normal people, so it's normal for him to be like this.

1612L: Gong Ting reminds me of 19●0 from "The Legend of 19●0," who grew up on a ship.

1613L: The person above is insulting 19●0!!

1614L: Person in front, 1610L, you just don't know how to ship, isn't it better to ship them in reverse like this!

He clearly only wanted to take his special ability, but his heart fell for him after coming into contact with him, he doesn't want his special ability anymore, he only wants him. (Little face turns yellow)

Bai Xuechao found 1614L a bit funny and thought to himself: Xiao 6, log in to your main account and say something.

Of course, he actually knew that Xiao 6, like him, couldn't post on the forum, and this person was really just a manga reader.

1615L: Damn, the person above is truly a shipping expert, that's the scent of a CP. An expert~ (In an advertising tone)

1616L: Hahaha an expert~

1617L: Wait, did no one notice that the OP said my wifey might have self-destructive tendencies?? (Hamster stunned) (Kitty dazed)

1618L: Oh my god, someone finally mentioned it! I'm scratching my heart and lungs right now, I want to know why the OP said that.

1619L: Where? Why didn't I see it?

1620L: The last line!

1621L: Where does my wifey have self-destructive tendencies, he's just crazy! (Crying with sunglasses on)

1622L: I noticed it too, but the OP hasn't explained the reason yet, I want to see the OP's explanation before discussing this. (Kindly helping 1621L take off his sunglasses) (Realizes it's a crying yellow bean) (Puts it back on for him)

Xiao 6 seemed afraid of provoking Bai Xuechao and asked in a super soft voice, "Host, do you really have self-destructive tendencies?"

"I do," Bai Xuechao said naturally.

Xiao 6 was shocked: "Huh?!"

"Just kidding with you." Bai Xuechao smiled somewhat nonchalantly and scrolled down the post. "Even if I did, that was in the past. I still want to live very much now, and I'm working hard for it. Otherwise, why would I bind with you?"

He had promised Su Zhao.

Although it was a bit difficult to live happily every day, he could still manage to live well. As for seeing a wider world... he was working hard on it.

Xiao 6 was relieved and let out a long sigh of relief: "You almost scared me into crashing wuwu."

Bai Xuechao said, "You crashed just like that, you're too fragile."

"Ying, Host is so heartless!" Xiao 6 cried pitifully, activating flood mode.

Bai Xuechao skipped some of the readers' chat and discussion on the forum, found the floor posted by the OP, and said calmly, "Stop crying, let's continue reading the forum."

Xiao 6 stopped his tears in a second: "Okay!"

1666L[OP]: Let's talk about Bai Xuechao!

After the last update, I said that Xue fans would definitely enjoy it, and this chapter is the same. Even though I'm not a Xue fan, I was also very shocked (.). I'll explain the details later.

First, I saw some new readers (they should be new readers, right?) getting caught up in his stance.

I've already stated my opinion before, he's both good and evil. Maybe I'll be face-slapped in the future, but right now he is indeed someone who repeatedly jumps back and forth between the hero and villain camps, and every time I think he's pretty good, he slaps me in the face. (Covering face) (Enduring)

In this chapter, his persona of a high-IQ, crazy, fun-loving person has become more stable.

He even said he likes excitement, which I will discuss later.

First, let's go through my table of contents one by one!

(1) Bai Xuechao manipulates the game situation.

Originally, I wanted to say he manipulates the game's balance, but after thinking about it carefully, although he also manipulated the balance, he was mainly manipulating the entire situation.

Before analyzing, everyone should abandon their hero filter for Bai Xuechao. I know many people think he is on the protagonist group's side and that he is a hero character. I just want to say that this person absolutely cannot be judged by his stance. Anyone who judges him as a hero or a villain will suffer a great loss!

[Knocking on the table four times.jpg][I've been seen through.jpg]

He clearly discovered Gong Ting cheating twice, but he didn't expose him.

Many people in the bullet comments asked why he didn't catch him. Now I will tell you the answer: he is manipulating the balance of this game, and he is also manipulating the situation.

Previously, he helped Brother Hao and Ling Feng, making Gong Ting lose to the point where he needed to exchange for game coins. As you all saw, Gong Ting exchanged both his life and his special ability.

But his goal was definitely not just to win against Gong Ting. This is also why I think his proposal for everyone to bet their personalities was part of his plan, because he started to intentionally protect Gong Ting and let Brother Hao and Ling Feng lose.

He didn't catch Gong Ting cheating anymore, so isn't it obvious that Gong Ting would win and take away Brother Hao's and Ling Feng's game coins?

Bai Xuechao believed that what he wanted from Gong Ting had already been exchanged, so next it was Brother Hao's and Ling Feng's turn.

Thus, later when Gong Ting was caught cheating, he stepped in to help Gong Ting deceive everyone.

I remember someone in the bullet comments asking him "why are you helping the villain," and also saying that he "betrayed Brother Hao." There were a lot of angry bullet comments denouncing him. But I had this premonition as early as when he stopped catching Gong Ting cheating, and seeing this part just felt like the premonition came true.

That's why I told you to take off your filters! When was his stance ever that of a hero? He was never a hero character in the first place, so what's there to talk about betrayal? Please everyone calm down.

Eh (second tone), now that you've taken off the filter, isn't it much better? (Patting shoulder) (Arm in arm)

He shuffled the cards for Gong Ting, arranged everyone's cards at the table, and even took Ling Feng's thoughts into consideration. Gong Ting's line "he calculated people's hearts" was really not wrong. This part really gave me a great shock. Even as a Hao fan, I couldn't help but climb the wall for five seconds. (Of course, I'm still a firm Hao fan now!)

Then he immediately poured a basin of cold water on me, chilling me to the bone, and instantly dispelled my state of infatuation.

Bai Xuechao asked Brother Hao if he wanted to continue taking cards, then listened to Brother Hao's words and didn't take any, missing 21 points, making Brother Hao feel guilty, and also dispelling Ling Feng's suspicion of him.

I saw that everyone in the manga's bullet comments was quite happy, thinking it was funny that Brother Hao was tricked, and that Ling Feng's "self-conquest" was also very fun. But have you ever thought about it carefully... Bai Xuechao is calculating their feelings. Anyway, when I saw this, I cooled down instantly.

By the way, let me add a disclaimer here, I don't hate Bai Xuechao at all, but I won't be a fan of him either, because his personality and performance are not my cup of tea.

After that, Brother Hao busting was also within Bai Xuechao's expectations. Regardless of whether he took a card or not, Brother Hao was destined to bust. He had long planned to use the act of missing 21 points to gain Brother Hao's guilt and trust, which made me feel like my favorite was sold and still counting money for the other person. (Covering face) (Beating chest) (Crying bitterly)

All of this shows that Bai Xuechao has no real feelings for Brother Hao and Ling Feng, only calculation.

To be honest, I used to have illusions about him, thinking that maybe he could become friends with the protagonist group in the future.

Now I just beg Brother Bai to be merciful and leave the protagonist group with their pants! (Hamster crying with a handkerchief)

I dare say that in this game, Brother Hao, Ling Feng, and Gong Ting are all just Bai Xuechao's tools.

Bai Xuechao first used Brother Hao and Ling Feng to suppress Gong Ting, and then used Gong Ting to deal with Brother Hao and Ling Feng. Who he helped just depended on who he needed to lose to achieve his goal.

He wanted Brother Hao and Ling Feng to have no way out and exchange their personalities, so he let them lose.

So it wasn't Ling Feng who actively proposed to change the game, but Bai Xuechao who invisibly forced them to change the game, making Ling Feng use up his chance to change the game. Even if Brother Hao and Ling Feng didn't change the game, if they continued to play like that, they would also be forced to exchange other things for game coins. And this other thing, even if it wasn't personality, Bai Xuechao would make them lose until it was personality.

In short, no matter what, Bai Xuechao will achieve his goal.

In the next game, it's very likely to become Bai Xuechao's game coin harvesting machine.

Brother Hao and Ling Feng can't escape, and Gong Ting won't run either. Their game coins are all going to be swallowed by Bai Xuechao.

When I realized this, my back was soaked in sweat. (Maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration)

1667L: Holy shit... I didn't think that much.

1668L: (Grabbing hair) I was just having fun when I was watching, I didn't think about what it represented behind the scenes.

1669L: OP, don't be so pessimistic. (Pat pat)

I think it's still very possible for Xuexue to become friends with the protagonist group. At least he's not a confirmed villain right now, so anything is possible.

1670L: Ah this, who still remembers my wifey's cheesy lines...

1671L: I know what the person above wants to say...

[A game where you know the result is utterly boring.jpg]

1672L: This is more than just knowing the result, it's practically controlling the result, okay!!

1673L: I'm a sapiosexual, what do I do, I like my wifey even more now. (Shy)

1674L: Thanks, I've taken off my filter, it's indeed much better, and I'm much calmer (.).

Before, when I saw him helping Gong Ting, I got angry and even sent bullet comments scolding him. I apologize to him here across the dimensional wall.

But the manga plot is just beginning to unfold, maybe Bai Xuechao doesn't have much real feelings now, but who can say for sure about the future. (Crying with sunglasses on)

I still have some expectations for him (:з」∠)

1675L: QAQ My wifey's good person image hit rock bottom in this chapter, should it rebound from the bottom in the next chapter?

1676L: I'm the same as 1673L, I like him even more now (.).

1677L: Brother Hao is thick-skinned, what's wrong with being calculated by my wifey a little! (Not righteous but still proud)

1678L: Hahaha the person above is killing me.

1679L: Oh my god 1675L, quickly take off your 800-meter-thick filter! Axue isn't a bad guy, but he's not exactly a good person image either hahahahaha!

1680L: To be honest, this is more in line with the high-IQ, crazy, fun-loving person in my heart.

1681L: I agree with 1669L's words, now that Little Xue is being callous and calculating towards Brother Hao and Ling Feng Maomao, their friendship will seem even more precious in the future!

Imagine, originally Little Xue only saw them as tools he could use, but he was slowly moved by his interactions with them, and in the end, he did everything he could to help them, regardless of the danger!

Isn't that freaking hot! I like it! (Shouting loudly) (Crawling)
