Chapter 777: Reading Expressions

“Hmm…” Hearing what Mu Zixian said, everyone paused again.

Mu Zixian’s worry was not baseless. Even if the taking turns was unsubstantial, she needed the first strike.

These inner demons had no other ability than surprise attacking, as they were as despicable as Quan Zhen Sect. Just like Wang Yu’s inner demon, even Wang Yu was almost hit. For a player with barely any battle strength like Mu Zixian, she was definitely no match for the inner demon.

As they spoke, Boson finally finished fighting and won the inner demon with a score that wasn’t the highest. Another inner demon began to form on the stage.

The shadow had one hand holding a staff and another holding a book…

It seemed like Spring Halo was chosen to be next. Once Spring Halo’s inner demon appeared, it started waving the staff and book, summoning six monsters and a huge python.

Spring Halo was no weaker as he took out all his summoned pets. Their attack strength was weak but had a lot of extra help. The small stage was instantly crowded by their pets.

Spring Halo and the inner demon were both squeezed to the back corners.

As the stage was full, Spring Halo could not position himself, so he was forced to take turns to send skills with the inner demon.

They had the exact same attributes and sent equally low-quality damage to each other so no one had the upper-hand. However, based on the health bar, because Spring Halo attacked last, he was on the losing end. However, when Spring Halo was left with 30% of his HP, he suddenly took out a bottle of medicine and drank it. His health bar was filled instantly.

Seeing what happened, everyone was stunned.

Spring Halo’s speed and damage were low so he had the time to think about using recovery medicine. Wang Yu and Boson, who had jobs with fast output, did not have the opportunity to take medicines once they fought.

Just then, Ming Du suddenly laughed and said, “I got an idea!”

“What idea?” everyone asked Ming Du puzzledly.

“Hehe!” Ming Du laughed, “Didn’t you guys realise that the inner demons don’t use medicine?”

“You mean she should take medicine and fight at the same time?” Fearless said, “Don’t you know that there is a limit to the amount of medicine you can take?”

Recovery medicine was the most important supplement to players but they could not drink it as they wished. Regular medicine had a level restriction and also a cooldown time. The worst was that when taking medicine, there was an action. If the action was interrupted, the medicine will disappear and the player will still enter cooldown state but the medicine would not take effect.

Hence, it was throwing money into the drain to take medicine when taking turns to send skills with a monster.

The game company’s aim was to prevent such situations or else when players PK against the monsters, it would be a joke to see bottles hanging out of their mouths to keep increasing their HP.

Ming Du laughed pervertedly, “I know, I don’t mean that the inner demons can’t take medicine. I mean that they don’t have a bag.”

“Oh?” Everyone simultaneously rubbed their chins after hearing what Ming Du said.

From the previous few matches, although the inner demon used the player’s skills and equipment, they did not use the players’ items so the conjecture that they did not have a bag was valid.

“If I take off my equipment before my inner demon forms and put them in my bag, then put it on after it appeared, what do you think will happen?” Ming Du added.

“That’s interesting.” Hearing what Ming Du said, everyone’s eyes lit up. Ming Du’s idea was shameless but it seemed like it would work. He was indeed Ming Du. Even a simple idea was so despicable.

Just then, Fearless instructed, “Since this was the case, everyone take off your equipment, let’s test it out the next match.”

“Ok!” Upon receiving Fearless’ orders, those who had not fought took off their equipment.

Soon after, Spring Halo won and the fourth inner demon started to form. It was none other than Ming Du.

When the inner demon formed, everyone saw that indeed, the Ming Du on the stage was empty-handed with no equipment. He was just clad in a tight-fitting innerwear, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Ming Du calmly put on all his best equipment then went onstage.

“Boom!” Ming Du just went up and the inner demon threw a [Berserk Thunder] at him.

Ming Du’s top-tier equipment had high magical defence so when the [Berserk Thunder] smashed on his head, only a three-digit injury was inflicted. To Ming Du who had 5000+ HP, it was barely one-tenth. Ming Du casually threw a lightning skill over and the inner demon was instantly bloodied.

“Brother, I’m wrong!” Just as Ming Du was about to send another fireball to wipe him out, the inner demon kneeled in front of Ming Du and rose a white flag.

“Scram!”

Ming Du did not even look at him and kicked the inner demon aside.

Just then, everyone saw how the ball of blue light in the inner demon’s hand disappeared… and broke into a sweat.

The system really imitated the player’s battle specialties. This inner demon was as despicable as Ming Du. Luckily Ming Du had self-awareness, or else he would have been surprise-attacked.

Of course, with such a great disparity in equipment, even if he was surprise attacked, it would not matter. However, if Ming Du did not think of removing his equipments prior? The inner demon would likely turn the tides. At this thought, everyone was once again relieved.

After kicking the inner demon away, Ming Du did not hesitate and beat him into a ray of white light.

After the inner demon for half a minute, the hollow voice sighed and complained, “Alright, since you guys use such tactics, I admit defeat this round.”

Signs of anger could be heard in the hollow voice as though he never saw such shameless people. However, Ming Du’s idea did not violate the rules so the hollow voice could not do anything about it.

“Please choose your next round!”

The hollow voice sounded again and the scene changed from the stage back to the roulette.

At the top of the roulette, the line that represented the number of rounds displayed one green circle.

After receiving the order, Yang Nuo walked to the roulette and spun it a second time.

“Second round: Reading Expressions!”

After the roulette’s needle stop, the hollow voice said. Quan Zhen Sect’s scene changed once more.

This scene was a small house where it was squeezy for the twelve of them. At the same time, the quest introduction also changed.

Trial quest’s second round, Reading Expressions: The haunting inner demons had not dispersed. In the following time, they will randomly possess players’ bodies. The arriving inner demons are great at lying and attacking. Companions have to help their teammate chase the inner demon away.

In 20 minutes, if no player died, the inner demon will automatically disperse and the second round was a success. Or else, the quest is failed and there will be no next round.

“…”

Seeing the quest introduction, everyone moaned then quickly dispersed from one another.

The inner demon will randomly possess? And the possessed player will be great at lying and attacking… Damn, this was too challenging.
