BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99: Chapter 99 – I Thought She Was a Newbie, But She’s a Master!
"What are you doing?" Lily asked in a confused tone as she looked at Max, still bowing his head.
"I pay respect to the expert." Max answered with a straight tone as he raised his head, "Compared to a newbie like me, Master Lily has achieved great things in this game. Thus, it is natural that I bow in your presence!"
"Stop that. You are acting strange right now," She said, frowning, "Like my brother." She added with a disgusted tone.
"A-Ahaha…" He could only smile wryly as he knew about her relationship with StoneSword. Rather, he knew her older brother\'s excessive love, which made the situation awkward.
\'Well, I did admit that I acted strangely.\' He thought. \'But the viewers love it.\'
In a normal situation, he wouldn\'t act like that. He was just giving a little bit of a comedic act to his viewers.
"My bad," He smiled apologetically at Lily, "But I never thought that you were fully geared like this. You know… I expected you to be a newbie in this game like me."
"My older brother gave them to me." She answered with a stoic expression, "He said this is a gear recommended by a beginner. This is my first time playing this game."
"Aah…"
Max immediately understood what had happened just with that explanation.
— StoneSword is her older brother, right? How protective!
— Beginner equipment? More like end-game equipment!
— What a loving brother… Die, StoneSword!
— I am totally not jealous. Totally not!
— An overgeared newbie and the luckiest newbie. What a combination!
"Well, in that case, you know nothing about this game?" Max asked Lily with a calm voice. His embarrassment was gone almost immediately after knowing the truth behind Lily\'s equipment.
Lily nodded in confirmation.
"I see." Max fully understood now. She wasn\'t lying. "Then let me tell you the fundamental rules of this game and what you should be careful of."
"Un."
After getting another confirmation, Max explained how this game was with a short explanation.
They needed to find loot, and zombies were their enemies.
Also, he guessed that what Lily was equipped with right now was not all StoneSword gave, so he asked what was in her backpack inventory.
When she listed what her brother gave her, Max wanted to teach that certain veteran streamer the meaning of the word \'holding back.\'
\'A superior sniper rifle with 120x 50 CAL bullets. That\'s 60 full mags for her sniper. Then there is also a Machete, a superior kind of knife. Not only that, he also gave her a .44 Remington with 180x 0.44 bullets. Furthermore, she also had a thousand Scraps.\'
He shrugged his shoulders and sighed, \'Talk about being excessive!\'
Those were only the ones in her inventory, not including her defensive gear and all herbs and antidotes she had yet. Not even a player who played for more than 6 months had a gear better than her. It was all thanks to StoneSword\'s server, which had a large warehouse.
Finishing his explanation, Max asked Lily.
"Do you understand all of that? We will go out and find an abandoned warehouse to level up the shelter to level 2. From what I know, we will need 20 woods and 60 planks."
Level 2 shelter was not only big, but it also had a fence to protect the main building from outside attacks. That was why it needed 4 times the materials of the level 1 shelter.
"Un, I understand. Should I leave my sniper here and only go out with my Remington? I can\'t put the sniper inside my inventory. It\'s too big."
Unlike Scraps, which were counted as money and didn\'t actually take space in the inventory, any weapons and rifles needed space. For example, her machete was visible because it was only half fit inside her backpack.
The inventory system seemed strange, but that was what pushed players to be creative and build a warehouse in their shelter.
"Maybe that\'s a good idea. We need speed and a lot of space if we want to bring the materials. They also won\'t fit our inventory."
"Alright. I will leave it on the bed."
Saying so, Lily put her sniper on the bed and covered it with a dirty blanket that came with it.
She nodded, satisfied, and turned back to Max like a little puppy asking for a walk.
"Let\'s go."
For some reason, Max could see a tail wagging behind her back. He blinked twice, and it was gone.
\'Is it just my imagination?\' He thought as he exited the shelter together with Lily.
— Somehow…
— She\'s so cute
— So precious
— Breeze! Protect her at all costs!
— Yeah, don\'t let her get hurt!
"Shut up, guys. It\'s not like she\'s a little kid too." Max answered the viewers with a shrug of shoulders. "Besides, she\'s also strong."
[StoneSword has donated 2,500 diamonds!]
[I believe she can\'t see this. But make sure she\'s not hurt and actually has fun too.]
"Your wish is my command, brother." He immediately changed as usual.
— Damn, the brother is here!
— It\'s not strange as they must be acquainted through the program
— lolol the power of money, the only thing Breeze is afraid of and can\'t beat!
— Capitalism wins!
— I trust you. And don\'t call me brother
Lily peeked from the side and asked curiously, "Are you talking to the viewers?"
"Yes." Max answered, "Come to think of it, I haven\'t linked the chat window to your account yet. Give me a moment. I will make you a moderator."
Following that, Max tweaked his stream a little and connected Lily\'s account, making her a moderator. Her eyes widened a little bit as she pressed an invisible button. After that, a smile bloomed under her black mask.
"I can see it." She said, "There are many viewers."
"Well, there are more than 10 thousand now." He replied as he scratched the back of his head.
"And they are… unique." She added as she looked at the chat window.
— Hello, LilyPixel!
— Hello hello!
— I love youu!! Marry me!
— Please take care of our boy. He has been maidenless for a long time
— My boy has grown up. *Sob* This is pretty embarrassing, forgive me for crying
"… They are."
Those were the only things Max could say. The walk was silent as Lily also never started any conversation first. Thankfully, they arrived at their destination soon.
"There it is." Max stopped in his tracks and looked at a large warehouse surrounded by a tall fence. "We will loot this place."
"Hmm…" Lily hummed as she looked at the abandoned building. It had a creepy atmosphere oozing out from inside. "It\'s creepy."
