Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Xu Lin called out in response, then turned to look at Sister Yan.

"are you going?"

"Sure, how could I not go to something so interesting?"

Sister Yan gave Xu Lin a meaningful look, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

[Hey, hey, hey, this guy might be...]

Xu Lin immediately had a bad feeling, but since things had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and go along with it.

"Okay! Let's draw lots to decide who's in the sand and who gets to hit the watermelon, and the rest of us will be in charge of giving directions, OK?"

Even when everyone is having fun together in private, Xueyue is still a host in every sense of the word. She usually leads the way in these small activities.

Xu Lin actually thought that such a person must be quite tired, but seeing how much she enjoyed it, he could only sigh that everyone has their own way of life.

"OK!" *7

"Okay! 3, 2, 1"

"Draw lots!"

After Xueyue gave the order, the young lady, Sal, Lin Mu, Ye Jun, and Yuan Chu hurriedly reached out and grabbed a crumpled piece of paper. The remaining three, well-versed in probability, knew that the probability of choosing first or last was the same, so they were not in a hurry.

However...

"I'm just watching the show."

Ye Jun shrugged, not too disappointed, after all, stirring things up is a lot of fun.

"Me too..."

But little Sal was disappointed; he wanted to experience the thrill of the game.

"Ah, me too."

Next, Miss Lin Mu said that she hadn't drawn a good fortune slip. The probability of drawing the one buried in the sand from the remaining three slips of paper suddenly rose to one in half!

"I wrote the paper ball, so to be fair, I'll definitely take the last one. You two, who wants to go first?"

When Xueyue saw Xu Lin and Li Huiyan left on the field, she immediately exclaimed "Wuhu!" She still remembered that the young lady had vaguely mentioned that the two had a grudge in the past during the last XP symposium, and her eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.

"Ladies first."

Xu Lin shrugged and gave way.

"Wakaba-senpai is such a gentleman!"

Yuanchu shouted, not at all like a lovesick girl, but rather...

"Yuanchu, you're indirectly calling me a pervert."

"Pfft, then I'll choose first."

Sister Yan chuckled lightly, ignoring the loud protests from Yuan Chu over there: "I didn't! I didn't! I'm devoted to Senior Ruoye!" She casually picked up a crumpled piece of paper, but didn't open it.

"Then I'll take this one."

Xu Lin was quite relaxed. After all, they were just having fun together, and there was no life-or-death feud between them, so everything should be fine.

"Hmm~ I'm the one who hits the watermelon~"

Sister Yan's eyes narrowed with delight, because she had already seen what was written on the note in Xu Lin's hand.

"Haha, Sister Yan, we're such good friends, you wouldn't hit me on purpose, right?"

Xu Lin chuckled twice, sounding rather guilty.

"Yes, that's right~ We're so close that you, Lin Ge, can read my mind~"

Li Huiyan spoke with a forced smile, while...

He took out a metal baseball bat from behind the awning.

It's made of alloy, weighs almost ten pounds, the kind that most girls with weak strength can't even swing.

P.S.: Although I haven't said it before, I think everyone has already figured it out. This book is a slow-burn slice-of-life story with a lot of daily life content, possibly even more than live streams. Right now, it's in the stage of shaping the existing members of ESC Club. If you want to see real-life VUPs, please be patient. Once this team-building storyline is over, there will be collaborations with other clubs.

Chapter 60, Section 60: Xu Lin: XP Company! You schemed against me!!!

Xu Lin realized he had definitely been set up.

Recalling the strange behavior of everyone since arriving at the beach, Xu Lin suddenly realized that he had probably been tricked by his colleagues.

Come to think of it, the watermelon was brought by the young lady and the others, the baseball bat was hidden by Sister Yan, the lottery was decided by Yuan Chu, and the most important lot was made by Xue Yue. They even calculated that Xu Lin's personality would not grab the lot first, but would only take the last one!

No wonder they didn't show any nervousness when they were drawing lots.

Xu Lin thought to himself, then turned around and took a step to run.

It turned out that Xueyue and the young lady had anticipated her escape and had completely blocked her escape route.

"Miss, let's talk this over."

Xu Lin retreated step by step, glancing at the positions of everyone present, his little brain working quickly to find a way to survive.

"There's nothing to discuss."

However, the young lady ignored her completely. Several grappling techniques she had learned from Sister Yan back then flashed through her mind. She subconsciously stared intently at Xu Lin's footsteps to confirm the direction she was dodging.

"A bet's a bet, right? ('-ω-`) Senior Wakaba~"

Xueyue raised her two small hands and made two rather lewd grabbing motions in the air. Just then, the other girls present also realized what was happening.

The kite attacked from the rear, while Sister Yan watched from afar with a baseball bat, which immediately dispelled Xu Lin's idea of ​​breaking through.

Come on, you couldn't even beat him when you were a guy, now you're just going to get yourself killed in the car.

A personnel distribution map quickly appeared in Xu Lin's mind. At the same time, his previous observation of the beach building distribution was not wasted. Xu Lin dodged the kite chick's thrust and simply ran in the direction the kite chick came from.

With Sal and Night Lord guarding the opposite side, the chances of breaking through the defenses are extremely slim.

[That's a public restroom! If we go in, there's hope!]

Xu Lin made up his mind in his heart, and his short legs moved quickly, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Haha, my stomach hurts a little, everyone go ahead and play!"

As she ran, she didn't forget to swat at someone's face, but she didn't expect that the next second she would run into a soft embrace.

"Gotcha~ Sen~ga~!"

It's Lin Mu.

"Hey, hey, hey, using a low-presence aura here is a bit much, isn't it?"

Xu Lin sighed and rubbed his forehead, resigning himself to his fate, though he still questioned it with some resentment.

"You were the one who walked right into my room and tried to take advantage of me, senior. Now that you've gotten the better deal, you're trying to turn around and blame me. That would make you look really scummy, senior."

Lin Mu said with a grin, refusing to admit that Xu Lin had been tricked by her.

"Come on, wasn't it your plan to make Yuan Chu give herself away so easily?"

Xu Lin squinted and complained. Only now did she realize that the person with the best acting skills and the greatest threat to her among this group was actually Lin Mu, who had no presence at all!

Looking back now, I think I was already caught in their trap the moment I stepped into the villa.

Lin Mu was chatting with Xu Lin in the living room and keeping her in suspense while she changed her clothes, but she was just stalling for time.

This girl, having observed the world for so many years without ever noticing, had long since honed skills that could be described as godlike. Now that she had revealed them, the unsuspecting Xu Lin was immediately caught off guard and had no chance to resist whatsoever.

"Senior, do you know that it's very impolite to casually expose a girl's thoughts?"

Lin Mu pouted and punched Xu Lin, who immediately distanced himself from her but stood there motionless, accepting his defeat.

“I don’t think it would be too upsetting for her to expose a scheming plan, especially since the plan has already succeeded.”

Xu Lin glanced at Lin Mu, lay down on the spot, looking like he had resigned himself to his fate.

"Lin Mu did a great job!"

The young lady jogged over to Xu Lin's side, throwing sand at her while taking the time to give the pink-haired, cunning man a thumbs up.

Well, Lin Mu's image has completely transformed in Xu Lin's eyes into that of a seemingly innocent girl with a dark side.

[I'm even pretty sure the plan was proposed by the young lady, and then Sal and Night Lord were the first to get involved, otherwise they wouldn't be so guilty now.]

Xu Lin lay on the ground, glancing sideways at the two boys over there, a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.

[Then, Yan Fengzi prepared a baseball bat and specially gave it to the operations team to take to the venue.]

It's no surprise that the alloy baseball bat was Li Huiyan's stash. Xu Lin should be grateful that Sister Yan didn't bring a baton this time, otherwise she would probably have died on the spot.

Finally, Lin Muxue and Yue entered, completing the most crucial part. These two arrived rather late, likely having joined on their way here.

[Well, Yuanchu was probably the last to enter, or rather, she didn't participate in the decision-making process at all, she just carried it out.]

Xu Lin mentally analyzed the entire process of being tricked, word by word, and assigned each person a danger level and a priority for retaliation.

[The most difficult to deal with is Lin Mu, followed by Li Huiyan, Xue Yue, the young lady, Sal and Ye Jun, and finally Yuan Chu.]

Gradually, as Xu Lin's brain analysis ended, her body was completely buried by sand thanks to the tireless efforts of the three, including the eldest young lady, Xueyue Yuanchu. Only a small head remained, staring at a head of white hair, with her crimson eyes filled with a calm indifference to external gains or losses.

[To be honest, what have I, Xu Lin, done to deserve being targeted by almost all my colleagues? I haven't done anything heinous, have I?]

Xu Lin's eyes hardened. She opened her mouth, about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin Mu, who had been squatting next to her head.

"Senior, is this your punishment for not coming to the team building last time? Miss Sakura said she was going to give you a good beating back then."

That one sentence directly explained Xu Lin's doubts and also shut her up, leaving her speechless.

It's like someone who's late to a dinner party punishing themselves with three drinks; there's really nothing to say, just silently accept it.

Then. . .

Then Xu Lin added a bunch of operations staff to his grudge list.

Those bastards definitely knew about this, but not one of them warned her to be careful!

"Your eyes are covered."
