All my teammates online are my girlfriends

"You have to suffer the consequences of your own actions, even if you're crying!"

"Squad leader, you don't have sadistic fetishes, huh—ah, never mind!"

Feeling Qin Yunmo increase the force, Lin Qiu couldn't help but cry out, immediately attracting the attention of everyone in front.

"What's wrong, senior?"

"Ah—it's nothing, don't worry about it."

Liu Yuan blinked her eyes, looking somewhat confused at Ze Zhi beside her.

"They flirt all the time; it's just part of their routine. You get used to it."

"Whoa-"

Qi Xi heard Ze Zhi's muttering and immediately let out a strange, amused long sound, which made Qin Yunmo behind her feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that she had let go of his hand, Lin Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Squad leader, how did you come up with those skills? It's completely different from your usual habits."

As if worried that Qin Yunmo would pinch her again, Lin Qiu quickly changed the subject.

"Hmm? That's how you use combinations against other people, but to deal with you on a map like Skyscraper, you'll have to use some other unconventional combinations."

Qin Yunmo glanced at this guy. In order not to be disgusted by this guy and not want to play in the arena, he had specially trained.

Lin Qiu scratched his face, looking at her with some surprise. After a moment of silence, as if he had thought of something, he tentatively asked—

"Class monitor, are you interested in learning more about my way of playing? It can open up a whole new world for you!"

117 - The mentor of the class monitor

"This is another area where we design NPCs. Normally, testers will perform motion capture on the characters, which can also be used to design some of the skill animations."

As Yu Shu introduced the room, everyone's attention immediately turned to the rather spacious room inside the glass display window.

The corners of the room were filled with various complex equipment, but the large central area was kept clean, like a practice room in a game, with only a sandbag and a wooden stake.

"Excuse me, how do I capture the motion?"

Liu Yuan asked with some curiosity, feeling that it was like a training tool used by ordinary boxers and martial artists.

"We'll need to use some small props made by the company, like this one."

Yu Shu took a ring out of her pocket and shook it.

"The testers will wear five of these, and then imitate the actions according to the pre-designed script. Do you want to try it? Maybe the actions you capture can be applied to the game."

Following the chairman's instructions, Yu Shu shifted everyone's attention to the capture room.

Hearing her say that piqued the interest of Sun Yan and the others, who excitedly tugged at Ze Zhi's sleeve. If they could actually create a skill, that would be pretty good!

"Then please let us experience it too."

"Please come this way."

Led by Yu Shu, the group entered the room, where staff immediately presented them with test rings.

Apart from Qi Xi, almost everyone has a set.

"Hmm? Xiaoxi, why don't you give it a try?"

Seeing that Qi Xi wasn't included, Ze Zhi asked with some confusion.

"I've tried it before, and it's quite interesting. The ring is also equipped with lighting and shadow effects. If you perform specific actions in the game, corresponding effects will also appear."

"oh!!"

Upon hearing that there would be special effects, everyone's spirits lifted, and they almost couldn't wait to run towards the wooden stakes and sandbags.

No sooner had they left than Qi Xi began giving instructions into the other end of the earpiece—

"Ready? Record everyone's data, especially the boy with the ponytail and the girl with the flat chest. Save their data separately, mark them, and send them directly to the biology lab."

"learn."

With a brief reply, the other studio almost immediately burst into a flurry of activity, and the figures of Lin Qiu and the others appeared simultaneously on the computer screens.

After giving her instructions, Qi Xi was about to go over when she saw several cat claws suddenly appear out of thin air, scratching the wooden stake desperately. Although they did not cause any damage, the number 560 appeared in the small window on the wooden stake.

"Huh? What is this?"

"The standard level 1 damage of 'Cat's Claw' is negligible. On the third hit, your hand trembled slightly, and you continued scratching downwards. If you had used a horizontal claw, it would have triggered a hidden combo, doubling the damage of the next six hits."

Qi Xi explained, her gaze then turning to Liu Yuan on the other side.

She poked the wooden stake with her finger, and her finger sank in slightly. She blinked in surprise.

"Why is it soft?"

"This was done to prevent testers from getting injured. It's not actually a real wooden stake. It's filled with a softer material and covered with a leather-like sheath that looks like wood."

"If it's soft, won't the damage testing equipment inside break?"

"Don't worry, it's been treated with protective measures, so it's unlikely to break."

As Yu Shu explained, her gaze drifted absently toward Qi Xi.

I don't know if these people can advance the chairman's plan. If they can, the company's research can make further breakthroughs.

At that time, we will be able to contact the research institute and officially launch the core program.

Meanwhile, after watching Sun Yan and the others unleash their skills, Qi Xi's gaze fell on Qin Yunmo, who had remained silent for some time.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to give it a try?"

"No, I'm worried about breaking things."

"Don't worry, Miss Yu Shu said that the quality of the items here is quite good. You can hit them all you want without any damage. I've even hit them with various weapons before, and there wasn't a single scratch."

Qi Xi subtly tempted him; if this guy didn't make a move, it would be her side that would be in trouble.

Qin Yunmo hesitated upon hearing this, glanced at the wooden stake Liu Yuan had poked, and finally walked over.

Under Qi Xi's expectant gaze, the instant Qin Yunmo kicked out, a deep red electric drill suddenly pierced the wooden stake.

The next second—

"Bang!!!"

"crunch-"

A sickening metallic scraping sound instantly filled the room, so piercing that everyone covered their ears in unbearable pain.

Lin Qiu stared in horror as the wooden stake, which had been five meters away from him, was moved right in front of him.

The metal fasteners exposed by the torn leather case were twisted and deformed, which immediately stunned everyone present.

Qi Xi, in particular, was shocked by the scene, and a look of excitement and fervor finally appeared on her previously expressionless face.

That's her!!!

Although I had heard from the research institute that there was a very special woman who was one of the first people to come into contact with the core of the project, she suddenly disappeared just as the project was about to start, which brought all the research progress to a standstill until now.

The woman I saw closely matched the rumors, but the age difference was too great, so she was clearly not the one.

That's enough! Once we've collected enough data, the plan can be implemented!

While she was excitedly watching, Qin Yunmo, completely unaware of what was happening, frowned as he looked at the wooden stake he had kicked away, and glanced apologetically at Yu Shu—

"I'm sorry, I will compensate for these losses."

"Huh? Ah—no need, no need, this is just a consumable, don't worry about it too much."

Yu Shucai snapped out of his shock and quickly shook his head.

"Senior, didn't you say before that you wanted to spar with Senior Yunmo?"

Liu Yuan asked softly. Before coming here, she had heard Sun Yan say that she wanted to fight the legendary Qin Yunmo, who was both beautiful and skilled in combat.

But now... senior, please cherish your life.

Sun Yan swallowed hard, shook her head, and thought to herself, "If I had known this guy was so terrifying, I would never have said that!"

That kick would probably kill someone!

"Um... Yunmo, who taught you martial arts and training techniques?"

"I learned it when I was a child at Taixu Mountain."

Qin Yunmo didn't hide anything from this and just casually mentioned it.

Originally, the family went on a trip, but Xiao Dan got lost. When I found her, it was my master who brought her here.

Although my master has told me not to go up the mountain to see her these past few years, saying it's not the right time yet, I don't know how she's doing over there all by herself...

118 - A Lavish Hospitality from Qi Xi

"Yunmo, please have some tea. You just stretched a bit, are your shoulders sore? Would you like me to massage them for you?"

"Sun, speak your mind."

"Could you introduce me to your master? I dream of becoming your apprentice!"

Sun Yan looked at Qin Yunmo expectantly, her hands massaging his shoulders without delay.

The skill was so impressive that Liu Yuan and the others watching were completely stunned.

You have this skill too?

"I'm sorry, my master has set a rule that I cannot recommend other people to become disciples. I can only tell you that you are on Mount Taixu, and you will have to find him yourself."

Qin Yunmo explained, subtly breaking free from Sun Yan's massage and creating a small distance between them.

I'm not even allowed to go back now, let alone be recommended.

"Where exactly is Mount Taixu located?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say that either."

Qin Yunmo said somewhat apologetically that it was by chance that he met his master back then.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yan clicked her tongue in regret. She really wanted to learn that terrifying kick.

If I master this skill, I'll be invincible throughout the entire school!

"By the way, how about trying the staff meals here?"

Just as Ze Zhi was asking Yu Shu a bunch of questions, Qi Xi casually said something on the other side.

The data from the descent chamber and motion capture system has been mostly collected. All that's left is for the staff to analyze, organize, and transfer the data to their computers.

"No need, we already had lunch before we arrived."

"Afternoon tea and various desserts are available."

Sun Yan, who had just refused, immediately wavered. She looked at Yan Rou and Liu Yuan beside her questioningly. Seeing that they also looked expectant, she decisively poked Lin Qiu's waist.

We've already declined, it's not easy for us to bring it up, so you go ahead!

Lin Qiu rolled her eyes at them, annoyed, but still spoke up—

"Take us to see it for ourselves. We've always heard that the staff at 'Karakuri' have great benefits. We wonder what their staff dinners are like."

"You won't be disappointed, especially the bunny pudding here, highly recommended!"

When this was mentioned, although Qi Xi's face remained expressionless, one could still sense her excitement.

"The restaurant is on the third floor, this way."

"oh!!"

"Sawari, you stay here and ask, we'll go upstairs and try the sweets first..."

Before Sun Yan could finish speaking, a pair of hands grabbed her and Liu Yuan's clothes tightly, forcibly keeping them in place.

The two of them, their expressions stiff, turned back to look at Zezhi somewhat awkwardly.

"If I remember correctly, you two are also from the news agency, right?"

Zezhi smiled kindly at the two guys, but her sharp gaze made them both blush.

Under the terrifying pressure from Ze Zhi, they dared not linger any longer and obediently stayed where they were, watching helplessly as Lin Qiu and the others followed Qi Xi upstairs without looking back.
