Chapter 165: My Marksmanship Is Just Like the Mushrooms — Naturally Toxic
“Hiss—help me take a look, is it red?”
In Miss Yuan’s secret base, the Sichuan Girl lifted her short sleeve, exposing her back to the three of them and asked.
The three behind her took one glance, each struggling to hold back their laughter as they nodded.
No wonder—two bright red palm prints stood out clearly on the Sichuan Girl’s back.
“Seriously, why did that girl hit so hard? I almost died!” The Sichuan Girl complained after seeing the photo Wang Chu handed her.
Hearing that, Lin Mo couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, she did it for your own good. If it weren’t for her, we’d have had to take you to the hospital. Also, why couldn’t you just hold back your greed?”
It all started when Lin Mo invited a few friends out for lunch to celebrate moving into his new home. They chose a mushroom hotpot restaurant.
Yunnan mushroom hotpot—fresh, flavorful, and addictive. The only strange thing was that they didn’t give out chopsticks at first.
At the beginning, everyone thought the waiter had simply forgotten. But even after a while, no one came. So they figured they’d go get some themselves. Lin Mo and Wang Chu went to look for chopsticks, while Miss Yuan went to get dipping sauce.
But there was always that one “genius” in a group. Taking advantage of their absence, the Sichuan Girl borrowed a pair of chopsticks from another table and decided to get a taste first.
The moment she put the mushroom in her mouth, a loud bang echoed through the entire restaurant. A waitress dashed over like a 100-meter sprinter and smacked her twice on the back, knocking the mushroom right out of her mouth.
The crisp slapping sound made every diner nearby wince.
The Sichuan Girl almost rolled her eyes back and collapsed on the spot from those two hits.
In the end, not only did the waitress give her two hard slaps, but she also scolded her soundly. Lin Mo and the others just stood there watching, not daring to say a word.
No wonder—they were guilty as well.
The waitress had explained that if you ate the mushrooms before they were fully cooked, you might “see little people.” Luckily, she had spotted it in time and slapped it out just as it entered her mouth. Otherwise, they really would have ended up in the hospital.
“You’ve got some nerve to talk! Weren’t you also looking for chopsticks?” The Sichuan Girl shot him a glare.
Lin Mo replied, “I didn’t find any, did I? Who told you to move so fast!”
Just then, Miss Yuan suddenly spoke up while looking at her phone. “Hey? Isn’t this you?”
Lin Mo was taken aback and leaned over to look. In the video, an Emperor Armor Hero was stepping out of a Mercedes-Benz.
【What the—since when did Emperor Armor’s ride change from the Emperor Stallion to a Benz?】
【Mercedes, pay up!】
【If I could wear that once, I’d drive a Benz too!】
【Not bad, Emperor Armor even wears a seatbelt—safety first!】
The video had already received over 400,000 likes and 20,000 comments—a viral hit.
“What? Why does Old Mo get to go viral without even showing his face? I don’t accept this!” The Sichuan Girl wailed.
From the car alone, they could tell it was Lin Mo. After all, they had seen him drive away in that very car yesterday.
Of course, he had removed his helmet while driving—otherwise, he couldn’t see the road—and only put it back on after parking. That was also why Liu Rushuang had waited so long without seeing him come out.
“Maybe… this is talent. I was born to go viral,” Lin Mo said cheerfully.
After all, he hadn’t shown his face, so it didn’t affect him at all.
And judging by the video, it had clearly been taken by a passerby yesterday—which meant his outfit choice had been spot-on. He really did look cool.
Sichuan Girl: .
So, self-media creators rack their brains, yet a random passerby goes viral?
“Wait, she asked you out, and you went dressed like that? I really want to know what you two did!” Miss Yuan asked curiously.
She didn’t think the two had any romantic entanglement—she knew what kind of person Liu Rushuang was, and what kind of person Lin Mo was. But going out in that armor? That she couldn’t wrap her head around.
Lin Mo glanced at her and replied vaguely, “I just helped her with a small favor. She said to dress nicely, so I followed her instructions.”
He couldn’t exactly say he went to help her snatch a girl from her cousin, could he? Miss Yuan would’ve exploded.
“No way, Old Mo, wear it again! I want to shoot a transformation video—it’s guaranteed to go viral!” The Sichuan Girl tugged at his arm eagerly.
If you can’t make original content, at least copy the homework!
“Why don’t you wear it yourself? Why do you need me?” Lin Mo refused. It was too hot, and he didn’t feel like moving.
Besides, he knew how transformation videos worked—just editing two clips together, nothing fancy.
“If I were tall enough, would I need you?”
“Then use Wang—eh, forget it, he’s out. It’s too hot anyway, let’s wait till evening,” Lin Mo said.
After all, Wang Chu had worn it before, and a pot-bellied Emperor Armor Hero was a bit too eye-burning.
As for the Sichuan Girl, she was just too short—when she wore the Iron Man suit last time, it was all loose and baggy.
“Then it’s settled!”
“Sure, but first, I need your help,” Lin Mo said.
The three: ???
Five minutes later, the four of them sat in the gaming room.
“Seriously, with aim as bad as yours, why’d you want to play this?” Miss Yuan asked, looking at the PUBG screen.
Lin Mo replied, “Uh… I just want to win. If you guys help me win ten matches, I’ll let you experience dishes made by a National Banquet Chef!”
Hearing that, the Sichuan Girl and Wang Chu clearly didn’t believe him, but Miss Yuan said, “You’re treating us to food made by a National Banquet Chef? Deal!”
Lin Mo: .
That wasn’t exactly wrong. After all, he had spent 500 yuan on a [Cao Cao Happy House Experience Card]—surely it’d be worth it.
Soon, the four parachuted into the game. Since Lin Mo wanted to survive till the end, he chose a quiet area to land.
“Crap, someone’s at the school! Take a detour!” Lin Mo instructed.
He only needed to win, not gunfight.
“Run, run, run—that’s all you know! Why run? Fight them!” Miss Yuan, being who she was, couldn’t stand backing down. She led the charge with the others.
The Sichuan Girl covered them from a distance with a sniper rifle, and Lin Mo had no choice but to follow as the frontliner.
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out—Lin Mo got headshotted. Looking up, he realized it was the Sichuan Girl who had landed a “lucky” 98k shot on him.
“Are you kidding me?! Watch where you’re aiming!” Lin Mo fumed, but before he could finish, Wang Chu’s grenade bounced off a wall and exploded right at his feet, instantly knocking him out of the game.
“What’s wrong with you two? He Chenguang’s sniper rifle and He Chenguang’s grenade? You rescuing hostages or what?!” Lin Mo complained, ripping off his headset.
Before he could finish, the Sichuan Girl fired three consecutive shots, downing the enemies, while Miss Yuan finished them off with a rocket launcher.
Then, the Sichuan Girl said smugly, “What are you yelling for? I’m a sharpshooter, got it?”
Lin Mo: .
Even though he was eliminated, they won the fight, so he shut up obediently.
The three looted the bodies and continued playing. Fortunately, they made it to the final circle in their first match.
Seeing movement in the fourth-floor window ahead, Lin Mo got anxious. If they could take out that squad, victory was certain.
“Sichuan Girl, aren’t you the sharpshooter? Shoot her! Quick, the zone’s shrinking!” Lin Mo urged.
They were pinned on a hillside, with the toxic gas closing in behind them. If they couldn’t deal with the enemies in the building, they’d lose everything.
“Don’t talk—I can’t hit her!” The Sichuan Girl scoped in repeatedly but didn’t fire.
“I knew it! You’re all talk. That ‘sharpshooter’ title’s fake—you only hit me by accident. Useless! You’re a pig wearing elephant tusks trying to look mighty!” Lin Mo mocked.
“I’m not useless! My marksmanship is like the mushrooms—naturally toxic!” she snapped back.
“Fine! I order you—within three shots, hit that Japanese girl across!”
“No need. One shot is enough!”
The next second, a single gunshot rang out—
Miss Yuan’s female character dropped instantly.
The three: .
