Chapter 22 February 22nd, 1 AM, Game World, in Xu Huishang's conference room.

Since they had agreed to discuss matters related to S3 tonight, the members of Hell Front had basically arrived in advance.

And Feng Bujue, who rarely "arrived on time," became the last to show up again.

"Everyone..." As soon as Jue-Ge entered the room, seeing everyone looking at him, he raised his hand and pointed behind him, saying, "Let me introduce..."

As he made this gesture, the conference room door closed and reopened once more, and then a person followed Feng Bujue in.

"This is the new member I mentioned to everyone before..." Jue-Ge continued as the person appeared, "Snow."

Snow's in-game appearance matched his real-life appearance, with a typical mixed Central European face, but overall, he looked more like a person of East Asian descent, and his hair was also black.

"Hi~ Hello everyone." Snow greeted everyone in the conference room with a smile on his face; he seemed to be in a very good mood.

"Hello, I'm called..." Xiao Tan was a straightforward person; since the other person was smiling and had greeted them, he also smiled and went up to introduce himself.

Unexpectedly, Feng Bujue suddenly waved his hand, blocking him: "No need, everyone here has been in the S2 quarter-finals, you'll recognize them even without introductions." He paused, "Also, everyone doesn't need to be too polite with Snow..." As he said that, he went over and hooked Snow's shoulder, "Just treat him like a second-class citizen; he'll take the blame in the future, and he'll be the one to die..."

"Hehe..." Snow's brother's magnanimity was indeed different from ordinary people; even though he was publicly "bullied" by Jue-Ge, he just smiled and replied, "Yes, yes, senior players don't need to be too polite with me. I'm already very honored to be able to compete with Brother Feng..." He seemed to feel that something was not quite right, so he added, "...and everyone."

"Looks like you two have a story..." Seeing this, An Yueqin immediately looked at the two with a fujoshi-like gaze and a meaningful tone.

"Yeah... whoever can be pulled by Bujue to become the 'seventh person' is definitely not ordinary; this attitude, like a concubine entering the door, must have a problem..." Ruoyu also put on a thoughtful look, deliberately teasing.

"Since you two happen to be talking about this topic, I might as well mention it in passing..." While speaking, Feng Bujue raised his hand and released Snow, "Brother Snow claims to be bisexual."

When he said the word "sexual," Jue-Ge stretched out a hand again and slowly pushed Snow away from him.

"Based on my observation, what he said is true." Feng Bujue tilted his head, "So if he does anything out of line to you in the future, please make good use of the reporting system; you can call the police if necessary."

"Hey, hey... really?" Xiao Tan heard this and replied with narrowed eyes.

As the other straight man present besides Jue-Ge, it was only natural that he would be a little nervous when he heard this.

"Heh... don't worry, Brother Xiao Tan, I'm a very principled person; I'm not interested in married people." A second later, Snow smiled and said to Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling, who was beside him, "Also..." As he said that, he turned his gaze to Ruoyu, Miss An, and Goddess Xu, "To be honest... although you senior players are all very beautiful, none of you are my type." As he said that, he actually took out a few photos from his pocket and showed them to everyone, "I prefer... this type of woman. If any of you have friends like this, please introduce me."

At this time, everyone, including Jue-Ge, gathered around with curiosity and looked at the photos.

In the photos, they were all women who looked even more robust than men, of various skin colors and nationalities. The key was... these photos were all group photos, and each one had Snow in it, and his eyes and posture when taking photos with those older women looked very intimate.

"Um..." After reading it, Feng Bujue looked at Snow with a complicated look, "Your taste... is really unique..."

At this moment, Jue-Ge finally figured out some things that he didn't understand on the Yage yacht. He had been very puzzled at the time as to why Snow was always accompanied by several strong men, and even the work of serving tea and water was done by those men in black suits... Logically speaking, a "prince of the underworld" like Snow should have several beautiful women by his side to serve him when he appeared. Now, seeing him take out those photos, Jue-Ge's thoughts were "suddenly enlightened."

Of course, there were some things that Snow didn't say...

In fact, at least before the age of eighteen, Snow had not realized that his preferences for women were different from the public's aesthetic, after all, he grew up in a extravagant environment, and everyone around him instilled the idea that "that kind of woman is a beauty." But since Snow realized his other orientation after he came of age, he suddenly liberated his mind and discovered his true preferences...

"Ah..." Snow put away the photos and smiled, "It's okay..." As he said that, he took half a step towards Feng Bujue, "However, my taste in men is more mainstream..."

"You brat, stay away from me." Feng Bujue immediately interrupted the other party and took half a step back.

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Snow shrugged, "Anyway... thank you all very much for letting me join Hell Front; I will definitely perform well in the competition."

"What do you mean by 'perform well'?" Unexpectedly, Jue-Ge retorted, "It's 'must win'! You are the person I recommended, you must go all out with the determination to die in every match. If we don't win the championship in the end, it's your responsibility, and then you will have to swallow dung to apologize to the world."

"Uh..." Snow was also shocked, "This really is taking the blame and going to die..."

"Stop talking nonsense, project the data onto the conference table for everyone to see first." Feng Bujue said, "I'm going to practice hitting wooden stakes for a while."

After saying this, he actually took out nunchucks and ran to the side to hit the training dummy (a conference room decoration provided by the system; there were many such training facilities in Xu Huishang's conference room).

And Snow was very obedient; he immediately ran to the conference table and displayed his character information in front of the "senior players."

In addition to the content listed above, Snow's storage room also had many backup skills and some "consumables" related to those skills.

After everyone browsed through Snow's information, Xiao Ling spoke first, "Um... looks like you spent a lot of money playing this game..."

Xiao Ling, who often visited the auction house and shop and had an excellent memory, knew the value of the items in Snow's inventory relatively well. Basically, Snow's inventory was full of "consumables" for making machinery specialization items or summoning specialization summons, many of which were "general-purpose items for high-level skills," and their value was naturally high.

Furthermore, Snow's number of game coins, the upper limits of his inventory slots and skill slots... all showed that he had a consumer habit of not being ambiguous about recharging.

"Yeah..." Snow was a little embarrassed when Xiao Ling said this, "I'm ashamed to say... from the beginning, I brought my experience of playing other games into Thriller Paradise and messed up some things..."

Then, he told everyone about how he had been looking for people to level him up until he was level 40, and then said, "By the time I realized it, I was already level 40. Although I had accumulated a lot of skills and equipment, most of them couldn't be used because my specialization level was low. Someone like me... when encountering direct combat, my combat power was far lower than other players of the same level, and it was difficult to even protect myself... Basically, being in a team was a burden."

Hearing this, Xu Huishang took over and said, "Therefore, you chose the machinery specialization, which can be supported by money and can be improved outside of the scenarios, to major in."

"Yes." Snow nodded, "I first spent a high price to buy the [WJQ-308 Military Shovel], which is known as a 'must-have for machinery specialization players,' and then purchased a large number of design drawings from the auction house, and collected the materials needed to create the drawings from both the shop and the auction house. I did several days of continuous production in the conference room...

"When I raised my specialization to B level, I was already able to create some relatively strong combat creations to protect me. At this time, I started queuing for single-player scenarios.

"After leveling up twice on my own... my various specializations have improved, and I have also obtained a lot of skill points, so I went to the Surprise Box and bought some skills and equipment that were suitable for me. After strengthening myself comprehensively, I became much more popular when I went to queue for team mode. Not only did no one say that I was a burden, but everyone wanted to be friends with me."

"They just want to hug a tycoon's thigh." Feng Bujue, who was far away, did not forget to interject with a few poisonous comments while hitting the stakes.

"Heh..." Snow smiled sheepishly, "Of course I understand that. Those people... after adding you as a friend, they talk to you hypocritically, saying some nice things. When they feel like they are familiar with you, they will immediately start shamelessly asking you for this and that, making various requests. If you don't give it to him, he will scold you behind your back and hate you in his heart... I have seen too many people who hold the logic of 'someone so rich won't give me anything,' as if everyone in the world who is doing better than him owes him."

While he was saying this, although he was smiling on his face, the dark aura of the "organizer" had surfaced between his eyebrows.

When it comes to "seeing people," Snow may be stronger than everyone else present except for Feng Bujue. He had seen too much of the depravity and ugliness of human nature in the "games" organized by his organization. Among the masses... the existence that can still maintain a noble posture at the last moment is really rare, and it is precisely for this reason... that Snow values Feng Bujue so much.

"Is this your reason for coming here to be a second-class citizen?" Just as Snow's voice fell, Ruoyu actually said a "Feng Bujue-style" retort.

"Um..." Snow really thought about this question and replied, "Yes..."

Ruoyu heard this and glanced at her partners. Everyone had a kind of half-smiling look on their faces.

"Okay, welcome to Hell Front."
