Chapter 10: All 7 bullets jammed. How is that possible?
"You stay in the car and don't get out without my permission!"
Before getting off the bus, Lin Xuan glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao beside him and gave her a reminder.
"I can't be bothered to download it!"
Lin Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and held her chin high.
Her gaze then fell on her own white-stockinged legs, before settling on the woman in black stockings outside the door. She murmured, "So, it's just that my otaku brother likes black stockings!"
"you……"
"Shut up!"
Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly. He rolled his eyes at her, then immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
The moment the car door closed, he heard Lin Xiaoxiao add from inside the car, "Be careful on the road, you otaku brother, don't let that black-stockinged sister eat you up."
Lin Xuan took a deep breath and swallowed it down.
This girl is really getting more and more outrageous.
I'll definitely have to give her a good talking to after I get on the bus.
Let her understand what special care from the "eldest son" truly means!
The woman stood by the roadside, watching Lin Xuan walk towards her, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Lin Xuan didn't look at her; his gaze fell directly on the bread cart parked by the roadside.
The car door had many scratches, and the windows were shattered; it certainly looked like it had been attacked by mutated creatures last night.
He didn't stop and walked straight over.
"Brother, can you take a look at this for me?"
The woman followed behind Lin Xuan, her voice so delicate it seemed like it could be squeezed to release water, "I really don't know what to do by myself..."
"Let me take a look!"
Lin Xuan walked to the front of the car and, feigning seriousness, tapped the hood, his eyes occasionally glancing inside.
"Big brother, how's it going? Can it be fixed?"
A woman's voice came from behind.
Lin Xuan straightened up, dusted off his hands, and turned to look at her.
"When did I ever say I could fix cars?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's smile immediately froze on her face.
"...What?"
She asked instinctively, her voice no longer sweet and gentle, but instead carrying a hint of coldness.
"I'll say it!"
Lin Xuan put his hands in his pockets, leaned against her rickety bread cart, and said lazily, "You can't fix cars, you've come to the wrong person."
"Then why were you banging on it for so long?"
The woman suddenly sat up straight, her eyes fixed on Lin Xuan in front of her.
"Just a few casual taps make you look professional."
Lin Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile. "Besides, I also want to see how long you can keep up this act!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the left door of the dilapidated bread cart in front of them was suddenly pushed open from the inside.
"Bang!"
Immediately afterwards, a figure jumped out of the car.
The man was about thirty years old, bald, with a face full of scars, and a scar about the size of a finger etched on the left side of his cheek.
He held a fruit knife in his hand, with faint traces of blood on it.
"Have they finally run out of steam?"
Lin Xuan glanced at the man, a hint of indifference flashing across his face.
The woman, her legs clad in black stockings, strode up behind the scarred man.
She narrowed her eyes, her gaze fixed intently on Lin Xuan before her.
"You knew about us all along?"
"Your acting is just too clumsy and over-the-top!"
Lin Xuan shrugged, a hint of nonchalance flashing across his face. "It's obvious at a glance!"
"You're much smarter than the previous ones!"
The woman raised an eyebrow. "Unfortunately, that's all there is to it!"
Lin Xuan's gaze swept back and forth between her and the scarred man.
"How many people have you scammed using this method?"
He asked,
The scarred man brandished his machete and grinned, "Not many, two. You're the third."
"What about the first two people?"
Lin Xuan glanced around.
What do you think?
The scarred man licked his lips, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Lin Xuan didn't reply; his hand was already on the Desert Eagle at his waist.
The scarred man approached step by step, his eyes lingering on Lin Xuan's bread cart parked by the roadside for a moment.
"Your car is nice; it looks like it's been upgraded!"
He sipped his saliva, his gaze becoming even more intense as he looked at Lin Xiaoxiao. "And that girl inside, she's quite pretty too!"
"Young man, to be honest, I'm a little envious of you. You're living such a comfortable life! You drive a nice car, have pretty girls with you, and you even have..."
As he spoke, he slowly turned his head, his gaze falling once more on Lin Xuan.
But when he saw what Lin Xuan was holding, his pupils suddenly contracted.
"gun?"
"How...how do you have a gun?"
Today is only the second day of the game. Logically speaking, all players should still be in the early stages of exploration, mainly busy with food, and it's hard to think about making weapons!
He was also lucky; he found the blueprints for a dagger inside a box.
It was precisely because he had the dagger that he dared to commit such a blatant act of robbery on the street.
But to my surprise, the troublemaker I encountered today actually had a gun!
In the real world, he might have thought the other person was holding a toy, but this is a game world, and toy guns simply don't exist!
"What? Surprised?"
Lin Xuan spoke silently, raising the Desert Eagle in his hand and pressing it against the center of the other person's forehead.
"Big...Big Brother..."
Feeling the cold sensation on his forehead, the scarred man's face instantly turned pale, and large beads of cold sweat began to seep out.
"I...I was just joking...I'm just being cheeky...Big brother, please don't be angry..."
He stammered,
"joke?"
Lin Xuan sneered, his finger tightening on the trigger. "Do you think I look like I'm joking with you right now?"
As the last word fell, the man knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Big brother, I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
He threw the dagger on the ground, pleading repeatedly, "I'm trash! I'm an animal! I was blind to your greatness! I shouldn't have tried to take advantage of you! Brother, please be magnanimous and let me go!"
Meanwhile, the woman in black stockings stood a few steps away, her legs seemingly nailed to the ground.
His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.
In the face of absolute truth, all conspiracies and tricks seem utterly ridiculous!
"Want me to spare you? It's simple!"
Lin Xuan smiled jokingly and moved the Desert Eagle in his hand. "This gun has seven bullets. If all seven of them jam—I'll leave, and you'll live."
"But what if one of them rings..."
Upon hearing these words, the scarred man kneeling on the ground froze completely.
"Big...Big Brother..."
He swallowed hard, trembling, and said, "What...what did you say?"
How could all seven bullets jam?
If he were that lucky, he wouldn't have run into this jinx.
Lin Xuan pulled the trigger, aiming at the man's forehead.
"Bang!"
