San Tian Liang Jiao
Chapter 1455 "Second-Class Citizens"
February 22nd, one in the morning, in the game world, in Xu Huaishang's conference room.
Because they had agreed to discuss the S3 matters tonight, most of the members of Hell Front had arrived early.
And Feng Bujue, who rarely arrived "on time," was once again the last to show up.
"Everyone…" As soon as Jue-ge entered, he saw that everyone was looking at him, so he casually raised his hand, pointed behind him, and said, "Let me introduce…"
As he made this gesture, the conference room door closed and reopened, and then a person followed Feng Bujue in.
"This is the new member I told you about before…" Jue-ge's words continued as the person appeared, "Snow."
Snow's in-game appearance was consistent with his real-life appearance, with a typical Central European mixed-race face, but overall, he was closer to being Asian, with black hair.
"Hi~ hello everyone." Snow greeted the crowd in the conference room with a smile; he seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Hello, my name is…" Xiao Tan was a straightforward person, and when he saw someone smiling and greeting him, he smiled and went up to introduce himself.
Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue suddenly waved his hand and blocked him: "No need, everyone here has been to the S2 rematch, you don't need to introduce them, they know you." He paused, "Also, everyone doesn't need to be too polite to Snow…" As he said this, he went over and hooked Snow's shoulder, "Just treat him like a second-class citizen, he'll take the blame in the future, and he'll go to his death…"
"Hehe…" Little brother Snow's tolerance was indeed different from ordinary people. Being so publicly "bullied" by Jue-ge, he just smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, don't be too polite to me, seniors. I'm already very honored to be able to compete with Brother Feng…" When he said this, he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he added, "…and everyone."
"Looks like you two have a story…" An Yueqin saw this and immediately looked at the two of them with a yaoi-fangirl gaze and a meaningful tone.
"Yeah… to be pulled in by Bujue to become the 'seventh person' is definitely no ordinary person, this kind of attitude like a concubine entering the house must have a problem…" Ruoyu also put on a pensive look, deliberately teasing.
"Since the two of you happen to be on this topic, I might as well mention it in passing…" As Feng Bujue spoke, he raised his hand and released Snow, "Brother Snow claims to be bisexual."
When he said the word "love," Jue-ge reached out again and slowly pushed Snow away from him.
"According to my observation, what he said is true." Feng Bujue tilted his head, "So in the future, if he does anything out of line to you, please be sure to make good use of the reporting system, and you can call the police when necessary."
"Hey, hey… really?" Xiao Tan heard this and replied with narrowed eyes.
As the only other straight man present besides Jue-ge, it was only natural to be a little nervous when he heard such a thing.
"Heh… don't worry, Brother Xiao Tan, I'm a very principled person, I'm not interested in married people." A second later, Snow smiled at Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling on the side, "Also…" As he said this, he turned his gaze to Ruoyu, Miss An, and Goddess Xu, "To be honest… although you seniors are all very beautiful, none of you are my type." As he said this, he even took out a few photos from his pocket and showed them to everyone, "What I like… are women of this type, if you have friends like this in your life, please introduce me to them."
At this time, everyone, including Jue-ge, gathered around with curiosity and looked at the photos.
In the photos, they were all women who looked even more burly than men, of various skin colors and countries; the key was… these photos were all group photos, and Snow was in every one of them, and his eyes and posture when taking photos with those older women looked very affectionate.
"Hmm…" After reading it, Feng Bujue looked at Snow with a complicated expression, "Your taste… is really unique…"
At this moment, Jue-ge finally understood some things that he didn't understand on the Yage ship; he had been wondering why Snow was always accompanied by several strong men, and even the things like serving tea and water were done by those men in black suits… logically speaking, a "prince of the underworld" like Snow should have a few beauties on his left and right when he appeared to look normal. Now, seeing him take out those photos, Jue-ge's thoughts were "suddenly enlightened."
Of course, there were some things that Snow didn't say…
In fact, at least before the age of eighteen, Snow had not realized that his preference for women was different from the public's aesthetics. After all, he grew up in a decadent environment, and everyone around him instilled the concept that "that kind of woman is a beauty." But since Snow realized his other orientation after he came of age, he suddenly liberated his mind and discovered his true preferences…
"Ah…" Snow smiled as he put away the photos, "It's okay…" As he said this, he took half a step towards Feng Bujue, "However, my taste in boys is more mainstream…"
"You kid, stay away from me." Feng Bujue immediately interrupted the other party and took half a step back.
"Hahaha, okay, okay." Snow shrugged, "In short… I'm very grateful to everyone for letting me join Hell Front, I will definitely perform well in the competition."
"What do you mean by 'perform well'?" Unexpectedly, Jue-ge choked again, "It's 'must win'! You are the person I recommended, you must have the determination to die in every game; if we don't win the championship in the end, it's your responsibility, and then you can only commit suicide by swallowing dung to thank the world."
"Uh…" Snow was also shocked, "This is really me taking the blame and going to my death…"
"Stop talking nonsense, project the data onto the conference table and let everyone take a look." Feng Bujue said, "I'm going to practice hitting wooden stakes for a while."
After saying this, he really took out his nunchucks and ran to the side to hit the training dummies (conference room decorations provided by the system, Xu Huaishang's conference room had many of these training facilities).
And Snow was also very obedient, and immediately ran to the conference table to show his character information to the "seniors."

In addition to the contents listed above, Snow's storage room also had many backup skills, as well as some "consumables" related to those skills.
After everyone browsed Snow's situation, Xiao Ling took the lead and said, "Hmm… it looks like you spent a lot of money playing this game…"
Xiao Ling, who often frequented the auction house and stores and had a super memory, had a better understanding of the value of the things in Snow's inventory. Basically, Snow's inventory was full of "consumables" for machinery specialization manufacturing items or summoning specialization summoning creatures, many of which were "general-purpose items for advanced skills," and their value was naturally high.
Moreover, Snow's number of game coins, the upper limit of inventory slots and skill slots… all showed that he had a non-negligible consumption habit in terms of recharging.
"Yeah…" Snow was a little embarrassed when Xiao Ling said this, "I'm ashamed to say… from the beginning, I brought my experience playing other games into Thriller Paradise and messed up some things…"
Then, he told about how he had been looking for people to help him level up before level 40, and then said, "When I realized it, I was already level 40. Although I had accumulated a lot of skills and equipment, most of them could not be used because of the low specialization level; such me… when encountering direct combat, my combat power was far lower than other players of the same level, and even self-protection was difficult… basically, joining a team was a burden."
Hearing this, Xu Huaishang took over and said, "Therefore, you chose the machinery specialization, which can be supported by money and can also be improved outside of the scenario, to focus on."
"Yes." Snow nodded and replied, "I first spent a high price to buy the [wjQ-308 Military Shovel], which is known as a 'must-have for machinery specialization players', and then bought a large number of design drawings from the auction house, and collected the materials needed to create the drawings from both the store and the auction house, and spent several consecutive days in the conference room producing…
"When I raised my specialization to B level, I could already create some relatively strong combat creations to protect me. At this time, I started queuing for single-player scenarios.
"After leveling up twice alone… my specializations had improved, and I had also obtained a lot of skill points, so I went to the Surprise Box and bought some skills and equipment that suited me; after comprehensively strengthening myself, I went to team mode again, and I became much more popular. Not only did no one say I was a burden, but everyone wanted to be friends with me."
"People just want to suck up to a rich player." Feng Bujue, who was far away, did not forget to interject with a few poisonous comments while hitting the stakes.
"Heh…" Snow smiled awkwardly, "Of course I understand that, that kind of person… after adding you as a friend, they chat with you hypocritically, say some nice things, and when they think they are familiar with you, they will immediately start shamelessly asking you for this and that, making all kinds of requests. If you don't give it to them, they will scold you behind your back and hate you in their hearts… this kind of person who holds the logic of 'being so rich and not giving me anything', as if everyone in the world who is doing better than him owes him something… I have seen too many of them."
While he was saying this, although he was smiling on his face, the dark aura of the "organizer" had floated up between his eyebrows.
When it comes to "seeing people," Snow may be stronger than anyone else present except for Feng Bujue; he has seen too much of the depravity and ugliness of human nature in his organized "games." Among all living beings… those who can still maintain a noble posture at the final moment are rare, and that is precisely why… Snow values Feng Bujue so much.
"Is this your reason for coming here to be a second-class citizen?" Just as Snow's voice fell, Ruoyu actually followed up with a "Feng Bujue-style" complaint.
"Hmm…" Snow really thought about this question and replied, "Yes…"
Ruoyu heard this and glanced at her partners, all of whom had a kind of half-smiling expression.
"Okay, welcome to Hell Front."
