Right now, Cao Qian, an average-looking 160cm girl, actually had the strength to push him against the wall helplessly with just a hand. Was she using a special prop, or was she just actually that strong?

Xing Ye understood her anger. She muddled through all the music scores for the whole day, not finding any leads, then hears that the piano is broken. If it was Xing Ye, he would also be furious.

"You're a player, right?" Cao Qian asked, "I still wasn't completely sure last night. Your acting was pretty good, so why aren't you trying to hide yourself today?"

"Because I'm confident I'll be safe now," Xing Ye said calmly, "Last night, I wasn't sure of everyone's identity and was worried I'd be attacked, so all I could do was hide my identity. But today, I found clues about the piano, and right now, I'm the only one who knows it. That way, players wouldn't rashly attack me, and instead prefer to form an alliance. Isn't that right?"

Cao Qian gnashed her teeth furiously, the look in her eyes sharp enough to kill.

"If you kill me, you'd get half of my points, but may not be able to complete the mission." Xing Ye asked her, "This mission has no time restrictions, so what would happen if you can't find any clues? We're eleventh graders right now, so there's still another year before graduation."

"We can kill each other and the last one remaining can just commit suicide to leave the game world," Cao Qian said, "Otherwise, we'd be trapped here."

Suicide... in the previous game world, Xing Ye could've committed suicide and gotten an incomplete ending. However, in his caution, he decided otherwise since he didn't know what would happen.

Xing Ye: "I've never killed myself in the many games I've done. Have you tried it before?"

"The pain and despair don't matter. The most important thing is that if a player chooses suicide, they will go back to the start. Even a high level player can go back to being a newbie. All your hard work from before is destroyed and you have to start all over again. The black and white rubix cube once said that fate doesn't pity those who easily renounce their own life."

Xing Ye acutely perceived the frustrated expression on Cao Qian's face and asked, "You killed yourself?"

"Shut up!" Cao Qian took out a gun from nowhere and pressed it against Xing Ye's head, "I won't hide it. When I had 200,000 points, I ran into a situation where I was trapped in the game world and had no choice but to kill myself. This is my second world and the only thing I've pulled out from the system draw is this Hundred Shot Gun. A person who has nothing is never afraid of anything; even if I kill you and kill myself, it's just another newbie world anyways."

Cao Qian's mental state wasn't great... it's very difficult to have climbed up to 200,000 points, yet with just one blunder, got sent back right to the start. Furthermore, with her luck...

"You're from the opposing fate camp?" Xing Ye asked.

"Do I look like a very lucky person?" A vicious aura emitted from Cao Qian.

"Then that Hundred Shot Gun you drew probably only has ten usable bullets. For an opposing fate player, probably just having a 50% accuracy rate would be satisfactory, right?"

Cao Qian grew even angrier: "Of course it's useless! 50% for a following fate player would mean 100%, but 0 for an opposing fate player. I must've been crazy to have picked the opposing fate camp!"

"Calm down first and put your gun away. I did it to protect myself and also because I want to win. The bullets in your gun are precious, don't waste them on me." Xing Ye tried to calm Cao Qian down.

Cao Qian also knew killing Xing Ye would be useless. Winning was more important for her so after venting for a while, put away her gun with a sullen face. However, her hand was still pressed on Xing Ye's shoulder.

Xing Ye knew that making such a commotion by destroying the piano was a big risk. He wanted to draw the remaining two players' attention and provoke them into coming out.

This was because everybody knew that after the piano was destroyed, only Xing Ye would know the clues.

With the nature of this game, he had to strike first at the players still hiding behind the scenes.

This plan needed a team to work, so this whole time, Xing Ye had been looking for team members.

A group of three people was best.

"Is your great strength your starting skill?" Xing Ye asked a while after Cao Qian's calmed down.

"What else would it be?" Cao Qian said, "Most peoples' starting skill have to do with raising their stamina or strength."

Was that so? Xing Ye's starting skill was different from hers. Furthermore, since it's the word "starting", it should have the ability to level up.
