Chapter 11 Players
The time is still in the morning, with a little hot sun shining directly on the earth.
"Ah... the things written in these books are completely useless..."
In the depths of the still empty library, a little loli with white hair and red eyes sat irritably leaning against the bookshelf, with a large book on her laps.
It was a book called "Analysis and Research of Human Psychology", which was rarely borrowed.
"Generally speaking, when a normal person sees a young girl walking out of an empty bamboo grove alone in the early morning and staring at them all the time, it is reasonable to say that it will scare them a little, right!? How can there be a human who wants to say hello to her!? How obtuse can that guy be!?"
Thinking of this rather humiliating thing that happened to her, little loli gnashed her teeth in anger.
As a newcomer who has just debuted, she felt that she was very talented, and her own uniqueness was extremely difficult to detect, so she always thought that she would be far ahead of her kind, leaving them far behind.
It couldn’t be helped that her first hunt, which was almost successful, was interrupted by others. However, in the two consecutive attempts she made later, the first attempt she was completely tricked by the other person, and the second attempt, she was completely ignored by the other person...
Recalling her other companion's rich harvest in the past two days, she suddenly felt a little angry.
Coincidentally, when she was alone, sulking, a rather cute little boy appeared in this library. The little boy was carrying a school bag with the four dolls whose faces were contorted into a ball due to fear stuffed inside, and in his hand, he was also holding a doll.
"It's been two full days, and it seems that you still haven't gained anything."
Showing off the doll in his hand, the little boy seemed very proud, even a little domineering.
"Look, I've already got five full harvests here. How is it? Do you need me to give one to you?"
"Hmph, if I were you, I would obediently hide now or get out of here as soon as possible. After causing such a big noise here, you still don’t want to leave. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Glancing at the doll in the little boy's hand, the look of disgust that had always been in the eyes of the little loli flashed away.
"It won't be long before those players will come here. If you want to die, you'd better not implicate me."
"Players? Compared to hunting these defenseless humans, hunting players can get the most benefit."
With a cold smile on his face, the little boy forcefully shoved the doll in his hand into the school bag behind him.
"Don't worry, I'm not a fool, would I do such an unwise thing? Those high-level players nearby were distracted by another thing during this period of time. The players who can come to this university to investigate are only beginners who have just gained the player qualification. They are just newbies, do you think I would be afraid?"
"Oh, then I wish you a happy hunting, bye."
Lowering her head and flipping through the big book on her lap again, little loli answered quite perfunctorily.
"After you are eliminated by those novice players, I will light incense on your grave in the coming year."
"What? Are you not tempted? You haven't gained anything so far, right? It’s just hunting a few novice players, you're scared of this?"
Spreading out his arms, the little boy's face was full of enthusiasm.
"Come on, let's work together to hunt the arriving novice players!! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the combination of our two abilities is absolutely invincible!!"
"No, I'm not going with you."
Looking at the bulging school bag on the back of the little boy with disgust, Little Loli snorted coldly.
"Don't think that I don't know what you have in mind. Want to use me as cannon fodder? Don’t make me laugh, do I look like a gullible person?"
"Tsk, if you don't want it, then forget it."
The frenzied expression on the boy's face quickly disappeared, and he regained his composure. After staring at the little loli in front of him who was always unmoved by his words for a while, the little boy tutted lightly in his mouth, and then turned around indifferently.
"Anyway, as long as you won’t complain at that time. An idiot like you who hasn't gained anything so far deserves..."
Before he could finish a sentence, the little boy suddenly turned around at a speed that was completely unsuitable for his age and stepped on the little Loli's shadow that was cast by the sunlight that came through the window.
"... to be my puppet!!"
With a muffled bang, the little boy successfully... missed.
"Oh, okay, bye, bye."
The little lol yawned nonchalantly. Unknowingly, her body had completely hidden in the shadow cast by the tall bookshelf.
The little boy:"………"
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"Idiot, I know all about your abilities. Do you think I'll give you this chance? I'm not a fool."
Standing on tiptoe, the little loli put the "Analysis and Research of Human Psychology" in her hand back on the bookshelf, and then her petite figure also quietly submerged under the floor.
"I'll give you a piece of advice. After all, I don't want to see my former companion die like an idiot. Don't underestimate those players, even if those players are only first-level novice. After all, which one of those who can obtain player qualification is an ordinary person? Knowing when to stop is a necessary criterion to live longer."
"Ah... Of course I know that players are not easy to deal with, even novice players are the same..."
After confirming that the other party had left, the boy lowered his head and looked at his palm, the corner of his mouth curled into an unusually weird and exaggerated arc.
"But as the old saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. How can you get something if you don't take a little risk? I’m very aware of what I’m doing... They are just some low-level players..."
