The Earth Is Online Chapter 62

Chapter 62

The first time that Tang Mo heard the name ‘Fu Wensheng’, he thought of Fu Wenduo. This surname was rare and the first names were also similar. The little boy’s relations.h.i.+p with Fu Wenduo was a bit unclear. Unless the characters were spelt differently. After Fu Wensheng denied his relations.h.i.+p with Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo buried his suspicions in his heart. He even thought there should be no relations.h.i.+p between Fu Wensheng and Fu Wenduo.

After the two black tower broadcasts, players in China and all over the world should be familiar with the name of Fu Wenduo. In addition, Chinese players should have ‘unforgettable’ unique feelings towards this name.

If Fu Wensheng really had a relations.h.i.+p with Fu Wenduo, he shouldn’t say his true name so opening. Since he could say that he had nothing to do with Fu Wenduo, he wasn’t afraid of the shadow.

Tang Mo never imagined that in the end, he and Bai Ruoyao were cheated by this seemingly smart and innocent little boy.

It was right to call him Fu Wensheng and the denial of his relations.h.i.+p with Fu Wenduo was false. The child spoke 70% true and 30% false words and his acting skills were excellent. He cheated the two adults and left the instance without Tang Mo being aware that he was deceived. He only knew the truth when he heard it from Fu Wenduo.

“He is big.” Tang Mo whispered.

Fu Wenduo asked, “What?”

Tang Mo replied, “Nothing. Fu Wenduo, he is your cousin but unfortunately, he has already left the instance. I can no longer contact him.”

Fu Wenduo spoke in a low voice. “It doesn’t matter. I didn’t expect him to be alive. It is a surprise. Is your game over?”

Tang Mo shook his head. “There is still a bit more.”

“Then I won’t bother you. Be careful.

The turkey egg was hung up. Tang Mo raised his head and looked at the magnificent door in front of him. He held two moon flowers in one hand and the handle of the parasol in the other. He would be careful not because of Fu Wenduo’s words, but because this was a tower attack game. Breaking the Möbius Ring in the corridor was an important part of the game but he couldn’t guarantee there wouldn’t be any danger in the queen’s bedroom, which was part of the game.

Tang Mo listened carefully to any movements on the other side of the door. The door was silent and there was no sound.

Tang Mo quickly opened the door and moved his body to the side to avoid any surprise attacks waiting. However, there was nothing unusual. The door was quiet and Tang Mo calmly waited for a long time. After three minutes, he turned and entered the room.

The s.p.a.cious and gorgeous room was dark and quiet. Bright moonlight shone through the stained gla.s.s windows, showing a variegated rectangular block on the ground. Thanks to this faint moonlight, Tang Mo’s vision quickly adapted to the lighting in the room and he could see it. There was a familiar big bed and a huge wardrobe behind the bed, making Tang Mo feel stunned. Tang Mo looked again. When he saw the vase with the three coloured feathers on the dresser, he smiled and shook his head.

It turned out that he had already been to the queen’s bedroom.

The vase on the dresser was filled with red, green and purple feathers, suggesting the number of players. At the same time, this was also the vase of the moon flower. The vase was used for flower arrangement, not feathers. Once the moon flower was inserted here, the Gem Corridor would be closed forever.

Tang Mo walked towards the vase. As he walked up to the face, a sharp wind slammed into Tang Mo from behind. Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed and he moved sideways to avoid it. He didn’t expect the thing to turn in the air and stab at Tang Mo’s eyes.

Tang Mo recited the spell and opened the small parasol, using it to block in front of him.

The sharp spear stabbed the small parasol and made a sharp metal sound. After Tang Mo’s physical fitness improved, his strength also became very great. Once this spear struck, he felt like he had been hit hard by a mountain. He was knocked back and slammed into the Queen of Hearts’ wardrobe.

There was a sweet taste in his mouth. Tang Mo swallowed the blood and looked up at the mysterious enemy.

This was a three metre tall playing card guard with a two metre long spear in its hand. The playing card’s little eyes s.h.i.+mmered in the light as it glared at Tang Mo. The moonlight shone through the window onto the playing card. This guard was different from the guards that Tang Mo encountered in the Gem Corridor. It had a different colour and a layer of faint gold covered it, like it was a general of the guards.

Tang Mo couldn’t be negligent. He stood up from the ground.

The golden guard didn’t give Tang Mo a chance to breathe. Tang Mo had just stood up when the spear flew again. Not only was it powerful, it was extremely fast and didn’t seem c.u.mbersome at all. It moved flexibly in the room, moving step by step to block Tang Mo’s s.p.a.ce and pus.h.i.+ng him into a dead corner. Tang Mo could only keep the small parasol as a s.h.i.+eld and there was no time to return the attack.

The dense spear were overwhelming. Tang Mo couldn’t counterattack and the golden guard struck faster and faster.

The spear was so sharp that it easily pierced Tang Mo’s skin and left wounds on him. Tang Mo’s back was to the wall of the bedroom and there was no way to retreat. The golden guard used this opportunity to move its spear from top to bottom, intending to pierce Tang Mo’s head. At this time, Tang Mo quickly closed the umbrella and his whole body lay on the ground, kicking off from the wall. Using this force, he slipped between the legs of the playing card.

The queen’s guards were playing cards and each playing card had four limbs.

The golden guard’s legs were only 20 centimetres long and this wasn’t enough for Tang Mo to slip through. Just as Tang Mo was about to hit the playing card, he held the small parasol and aimed the tip at the playing card.

He believed that the wolf must be stronger than this card.

Tang Mo gambled as Grandmother Wolf’s small parasol hit the playing card, sparks flying from the collision. But after this earth-shattering impact, the parasol successfully made a hole in the playing card. Tang Mo used this opportunity to slide through and came behind the playing card.

The playing card was damaged but the guard’s movements weren’t hindered. It turned angrily to Tang Mo but Tang Mo didn’t care as he ran to the dressing table.

The guard waved its spear through the air. It raised its right hand, moved it backwards before the long spear shot forward. Tang Mo ran quickly but he couldn’t outrun this spear. The spear would pierce Tang Mo’s head while he was nine metres away from the dressing table.

The spear came closer and was only 10 centimetres from stabbing Tang Mo’s back. Suddenly, the spear and the movements of the guard stopped.

Tang Mo slowly turned around, his arms hugging a small vase. There were red, green and purple feathers inserted in the vase, as well as two beautiful silver moon flowers. The moment that the two flowers were inserted, the golden guard’s spear stopped.

The next moment!

Snap.

The queen’s bedroom suddenly collapsed, the guard and spear were broken, the stained gla.s.s on the window were broken and the big bed and wardrobe were also destroyed. As if something was broken, the whole world collapsed into small pieces. These pieces turned into powder and disappeared into the air. Bright sunlight shone through real windows, lighting up the bedroom.

Tang Mo’s eyes narrowed because he couldn’t adapt to such dazzling sunlight for a while. He held the vase and looked at the broken new world.

Night disappeared and day had come.

The dark castle that Tang Mo saw after entering the game disappeared without a trace, replaced by a splendid golden castle. In the garden, flowers bloomed and birds hummed. Gold was sprinkled throughout the castle, including the bedroom Tang Mo was in, turning it into a pure gold look. Every ray of light spilled on the ground, reflecting the brilliance of the gemstones.

The castle finally felt lived in. Or Tang Mo finally exited the Gem Corridor and came to the real Gem Castle of the Queen of Hearts. The so-called Gem Castle was bound to be gorgeous and luxurious, not dark and gloomy.

Tang Mo muttered, “So… this is the real Gem Castle.”

Just now, Tang Mo had used the ‘You come to hit me, come to hit me’ ability to teleport the vase in front of him, quickly inserting the moon flowers into it. The moment the two flowers were inserted, the world collapsed and revealed its true appearance.

At this moment, a loud child’s voice rang in Tang Mo’s ears.

“Ding dong! Player Tang Mo has successfully cleared the second floor of the black tower (normal mode) and completed the ‘Gem Corridor’s Hide and Seek Game.’ He has won two moon flowers and received two rewards.”

The moon flowers in the vase shone with a silver light and two rays flew to Tang Mo’s eyebrows. The rays of light disappeared but the moon flowers inserted into the vase didn’t disappear. Tang Mo heard the black tower’s voice in his ears and didn’t have time to react. At this moment, a sharp high-heeled sound was heard from outside the door.

“Tonight’s dinner? No, I don’t want to eat the human’s hands, I want to eat his eyes.” The piercing female voice seemed like a broken radio as she cried out from behind the door. “You give it to me. Dig out that human’s eyes and smear it with my favourite caviar. Did you hear me? Do it! Go and dig out his eyes!”

The sound of the high heels was getting closer and the door slammed open.

A little girl with a crown of jewels on her head appeared at the door. She was wearing a red dress and glanced around her bedroom viciously. Once she saw the moon flowers in the vase. she screamed angrily, “Ahhh!! How can I only have two moon flowers left? My three moon flowers, one is missing? Guard captain, you get lost!”

The screams of the Queen of Hearts still filled his ears as Tang Mo opened his eyes and returned to Earth.

When the Queen of Hearts had entered through the door, the black tower had sent Tang Mo away from Gem Castle. Tang Mo only heard the queen’s voice and didn’t see her appearance. After returning to the real world, Tang Mo rested for a while. Then he raised his hand to his forehead, causing a shallow light to flash between his eyebrows.

[Prop: Queen of Hearts’ Moon Flower]

[Owner: Tang Mo]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Level: 1]

[Attack: None]

[Function: You can directly get a game strategy.]

[Restrictions: One time item. A moon flower can be changed into a game guide. The game guide is just a broken version. You can only know the requirements to clear the game and not the method to clear it.]

[Remark: In fact, the Queen of Hearts uses the moon flower as a facial mask every day. This is unknown to everyone in the Gem Castle.]

Tang Mo didn’t know what Fu Wensheng got from the moon flower that made him unable to hide his joy. But Tang Mo’s reward was enough to surprise him.

Tang Mo carefully scrutinized the functions and limitations of the moon flower and came to a conclusion. “The incomplete game guide means that if I used this item in the Gem Corridor, it would tell me that I could clear the game as long as the moon flower was inserted in the vase. But it won’t take me that breaking the wall is the way to leave the Gem Corridor.” There was a pause before Tang Mo shook his head. “In fact, I didn’t leave the Gem Corridor when I broke the wall.”

The fifth rule: One end of the Gem Corridor is the Queen of Hearts’ bedroom. Insert the moon flower in the vase in the queen’s bedroom and the Gem Corridor will be closed forever.

This was Tang Mo’s meaning. He guessed that the queen’s bedroom was dangerous and remained cautious. However, he forgot that the queen’s bedroom was also in the Gem Corridor. The end point was still an end point in the Gem Corridor. Because it as an end point, there was no other way to go and was a dead end. There must be two guards at the dead end. The queen’s bedroom was a special dead end. There weren’t two guards inside but an extremely powerful golden guard.

The moon flower reward seemed a bit sloppy because even without it, Tang Mo guessed that his task was to insert the moon flower into the vase. But for some games, it was a very powerful weapon. For example, the hamster game.

“If I used this moon flower on the first floor of the black tower, I could know that the real way to clear the game was to hit a sufficient number of hamsters, not catch the golden hamster.”

Such props could play a huge role against the black tower and the black tower monsters he was always pitted again.

After the break, Tang Mo hid the small parasol and headed to Luo Fengcheng’s office.

Once night pa.s.sed since he entered the tower attack game and the sun was s.h.i.+ning. Tang Mo reached an agreement with Luo Fengcheng before entering the game. He would tell Luo Fengcheng what he met in the tower attack game. This would allow Luo Fengcheng to be more prepared for the tower attack game and improve the members of Attack, increasing their probability of surviving. Luo Fengcheng would exchange equivalent information.

Tang Mo walked to Luo Fengcheng’s office and knocked on the door. Looking up, he moved and saw the man already sitting in the office.

At this moment, Luo Fengcheng was sitting on the sofa and looking up at TAng Mo. On the other side, Fu Wenduo was sitting on the double sofa. Once he heard the sound of the door opening, he also looked up at Tang Mo. The eyes of the two men met in the air. Tang Mo nodded slightly while Fu Wenduo’s lips curved and he also nodded.

The office was small with only two sofas. There was the single seat that Luo Fengcheng was sitting on and the other was the double sofa that Fu Wenduo took. Tang Mo thought for a moment before choosing to sit next to Fu Wenduo. The sofa was a bit crowded and his thigh touched Fu Wenduo’s thigh.

It was a bit hot.

Tang Mo couldn’t help moving to the side.

Luo Fengcheng said, “I was talking to Master Fu about the a.s.sembly instance. Tang Mo, congratulations on coming back smoothly from the tower attack game. You should wait a bit because we still have some things to finish.”

Tang Mo nodded.

Luo Fengcheng and Fu Wenduo took the opportunity to continue talking about the a.s.sembly instance.

Tang Mo had nothing to do and adjusted his interest while casually watching the room. This time he looked at the man sitting next to him. He remembered the little boy.

From Tang Mo’s position, he could only see half of Fu Wenduo’s face. The high nose and smooth jaw line, he look calmly at Luo Fengcheng as he heard relevant information about the a.s.sembly instance. This look might seem calm but it was the calm of an eagle.

This person was so upright when sitting, it was hard to believe he was a stowaway.

Tang Mo secretly thought.

“You have been looking at me for so long, what are you looking at?” Fu Wenduo and Luo Fengcheng had finished speaking. The handsome man turned his head, his lips slightly curved as he looked at Tang Mo.

Tang Mo coughed twice but his face was very calm as he said, “You and your cousin look a bit alike. The chin is alike but his is sharper than yours.” Fu Wenduo’s chin wasn’t as sharp as the child’s. His looked firm and persistent, making him more manly.

Fu Wenduo said, “He is still young and might change in the future. How is he?”

Tang Mo explained everything he saw. This wasn’t a big deal. It was Fu Wenduo’s cousin. He wasn’t interested in exchanging this information for something and would just say it. “…Finally, he left the game with a reward. He denied his relations.h.i.+p with you early on so I didn’t expect him to really be your cousin.”

“It is normal to deny a relations.h.i.+p with Fu Wenduo.” Luo Fengcheng laughed. “If it was me and I met someone in the game who asked if I know the stowaway Fu Wenduo, I would strongly deny it. After all, Jack currently wants to find the stowaway Fu Wenduo and hit him a few times. Of course, I know that Jack can’t do this and is more likely to end up on the ground with broken teeth. Therefore, I didn’t think him Master Fu’s name.”

Fu Wenduo said lightly, “He was mature from a young age. But I haven’t seen him for a year since I have been on the border. I only returned to Beijing after the earth went online. I wanted to see if anyone I knew was alive but I didn’t see a person.”

Tang Mo leaned forward. He felt a slight pain behind him but he didn’t pay attention to it as he said, “Maybe this child wasn’t at home when the earth went online. Maybe he was on a trip? Where does he go to play? If you can’t find him in Beijing then… why are you looking at me like that?”

Fu Wenduo, “….”

Luo Fengcheng, “….”

Tang Mo frowned as he looked at the two people. It was because they were staring at him with very complicated eyes, making his heart feel strange.

Luo Fengcheng said, “In fact, I wanted to say this when you first entered the door. Tang Mo, there is a lot of blood on your clothes. You should’ve been injured when attacking the tower. But you didn’t seem to care so I didn’t mention it. But now… cough, you back is still bleeding and left blood on my sofa. The wound is so heavy that your self-healing ability can’t completely stop the bleeding. What happened?”

Tang Mo stretched out his hand and touched his back. Sure enough, there was blood on one hand. The people were shocked but he didn’t feel much pain.

Fu Wenduo got out and spoke softly, “Let’s go to the infirmary to deal with the pain.”

The wound caused by the golden guard on his back was still bleeding. Tang Mo was embarra.s.sed to talk to people while bleeding. He said,”No, I’ll go by myself.” It will be find if I let Liz casually stop the blood. I probably just moved too much and opened the wound.

Luo Fengcheng said, “Liz and Jack went to challenge the S9 instance together.”

Tang Mo was stunned. “Then where can I find Tang Qiao?”

Luo Fengcheng laughed. “Tang Qiao also went with them.”

Tang Mo, “…”

“You have to deal with the wound first and Major Fu also has an injury. I have a few things to do here. Tang Mo, we will talk later.”

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo left Luo Fengcheng’s office and went to the infirmary.

There was no one here. As Luo Fengcheng said, Liz and Jack had gone to attack an instance. Tang Mo was capable of such simple wound treatment. For him and Fu Wenduo, as long as the injury wasn’t too serious, the body would automatically heal it after a certain time.

Tang Mo met the golden guard this time. The golden guard’s spear wasn’t an ordinary weapon. The wounds caused by it were difficult to recover and took longer to heal.

After entering the infirmary, Fu Wenduo took the bed while Tang Mo took out the iodine and watched Fu Wenduo take off the gauze around his neck. When he first saw the other person, Tang Mo had seen the gauze around the man’s neck. This was the first time Tang Mo had seen Fu Wenduo take care of an injury. It must be very serious.

Once Fu Wenduo completely removed the gauze, Tang Mo observed it.

He quickly calmed down. “I’ll take care of it for you.”

Fu Wenduo agreed. “Good.”

Tang Mo carefully removed the b.l.o.o.d.y gauze, held a cotton ball with a pair of tweezers, wet it with iodine and gently pressed it to Fu Wenduo’s wound. There was a dark hole, as if something had pierced Fu Wenduo’s neck and pulled out. This injury was serious enough for anyone to die. If Tang Mo had received it, there was a 30% probability of death. Fu Wenduo survived it and was still alive.

Tang Mo had a certain estimate of this person’s strength.

“Does it hurt?”

The young man’s warm breath hit his ear as Fu Wenduo moved his head to the side to let Tang Mo handle the wound on his neck. After hearing this, he looked up at the ceiling. He seemed to think it was very interesting as his lips curved. “There is no pain.”

This distance was too close. Tang Mo didn’t care too much because he was dealing with the wound. He said, “This injury is very serious. I thought it was easy for you to clear the black tower’s second floor but I guess I was wrong.”

“Before the earth went online, I had a worse injury than this.”

Tang Mo was slightly stunned. “Worse than this?” This would’ve been a mortal injury before the earth went online. He was actually hurt worse than this?

Fu Wenduo raised a hand and pointed to his heart. “It was here.”

Tang Mo, “…” He suddenly thought of a saying.

What was an injury worse than a fatal injury? It was a love injury.

Tang Mo said seriously, “Was it while performing a mission?”

Fu Wenduo knew that Tang Mo wanted to prevent the conversation from going crooked and nodded. “Yes, a bullet was lodged in my heart six months ago. But I survived.”

A bullet was stuck in his heart?

Can a bullet get stuck in the heart?

And this person survived?

…His vitality was really big.

Another gauze was placed and Tang Mo wrapped a bandage around Fu Wenduo’s neck, tying a knot. Should he make a knot or a bow? After thinking about it, Tang Mo decided to make a knot. Next time he would directly cut it with scissors.

Fu Wenduo’s injury was handled and now it was Tang Mo’s turn. Tang Mo sat on the bed and took off his coat.

Once Fu Wenduo grabbed the cotton ball wet with iodine and turned back, he saw such a scene. The thin and white back was covered with injuries. The countless wounds, large and small, were almost entirely new, showing how critical the battle that just ended was.

Among them, three wounds were the deepest. The bones were visible and they were currently bleeding.

Tang mo said, “I can handle the injuries in other places. I have to trouble you to take care of the ones on my back.”

Fu Wenduo’s eyes slowly narrowed, his eyes dark. He whispered, “Okay.”

The moment he spoke, the cold iodine cotton ball was pressed on Tang Mo’s wound. Tang Mo couldn’t help s.h.i.+vering at the extremely cool temperature. His back straightened and the thin shoulder blades were exposed. The skin on his back was sensitive, making a type of unspeakable strange feeling enter Tang Mo’s heart.

Tang Mo lowered his head, his hair slipping down to cover his expression.

Under the white light, his body was white and clear.

Fu Wenduo’s eyes were calm and he seemed unmoved. He pressed the cotton ball against Tang Mo’s back again.

The author has something to say:

Tang Tang: A knot or a bow? Well, I’ll just do a knot and strangle him!

Old Fu: My wife’s back… # only has eyes for his wife’s back. #

Some readers have doubts about how Tang Mo got Shehui Yao’s ability. It is because they haven’t found the real usage and limitations of Don’t give money for eating.
