Chapter 131: Play Games With Me?

Seth did take action, but the reactions of people to his behavior were completely unexpected.

"Let me know if you need to take a breather, and I'll accompany you back to your apartment" Seth
answered.

In fact, there was just one elevator chamber for both the upper and lower levels.He even offered to take
Melody personally.

As could be seen by the people around him, it looked as if the stern and dignified Seth cared a lot
about Melody.

Iven stood on the sidelines, his tongue discreetly clicking as he watched the scene in front of him.

He was surprised to see the way Seth acted.

‘As expected, the world doesn't give everybody equal chances.After all, people are only interested in
those who are extraordinarily attractive” Iven thought to himself.

If someone else treated Melody well, she would also be nice to them.

Since Seth had just arrived, Sarah felt compelled to stay rather than go back to their apartment.

Instead of moving, she simply sat back in her chair and readjusted her position.

Seth's plan of escorting Melody to their apartment was put on hold when he saw that she had already
settled in.

"Would you like something to drink?" Seth's voice was calm and collected.

Melody had no desire to consume any alcoholic beverages at the time.



Sarah already had excessive amounts of alcohol, so she wasn't planning on drinking anymore.

"I'll have soda water” Melody replied.

"I'll take care of that.I'm still the host, after all.How can I let my guests do it themselves? Stay here, and
I'll get you something to drink’ Iven intervened.His response was visibly affirmative.He prepared a glass
of soda for Melody and got an ice-cold beer from the refrigerator for Seth.

Iven's attention to detail and consideration of others were commendable.

Iven had purchased a three-hundred-square-meter apartment.

There was plenty of room to accommodate everyone in the expansive living room in the middle of the
house.

Additionally, when ven was renovating the interior of the house, he bought a whole set of audio
equipment.

He ensured that the sound quality was far superior than that of the hotel nearby.

However, despite the fact that the bustling house was completely opened up, it was as if an invisible
barrier stood in the way.

In contrast to the energetic singing and dancing on the left, there was a quiet and calm scene on the
right.

Seth took a seat alongside Melody.

The former was drinking cold beer while the latter indulged in soda water.

There was no one who dared to disturb them.



Despite the fact that others were intrigued by them, they did not attempt to approach or bother them.

Both of them were engrossed in a deafeningly quiet atmosphere.

In addition to being distant, Seth did not communicate much while Melody had a serious expression on
her face.

Finally, after a long period of silence, someone decided to speak up.

Seth, as expected, was the one who broke the silence.

"Mellie, what was the game that you played with Lance last time?" Seth asked out of the blue.

Melody turned her head accordingly to face him, her dark eyes brimming with curiosity, and asked, "Do
you want to play that too?"

Seth's lips curved upwards to form a grin.He gave her a confident expression as if he was someone
who knew everything.He handed the phone to her and said, "Yes! Will you play with me too?"

Melody was immediately drawn towards the phone's screen the moment she recognized the wallpaper.

It was without a doubt a picture from her Telegram Moments.

Normal people would have assumed that it was just a black picture, but only Melody could tell at a
glance that it was anything other than that.

She was the one who designed that picture, and it contained a subtle watermark that was not easily
recognized by the naked eye.

Melody just gave it a passing glance before proceeding with what she needed to do.

After helping Seth download the game, she handed it back to him immediately.



She could tell right away that Seth's device was a made-to-order phone with high-quality specifications
because of how efficient it was.

Melody returned Seth's phone once the game had downloaded and said, "Here you go.The game is
already downloaded."

However, even though Seth had never played the game before, he was able to figure out its necessary
operations and basic features.

Upon logging in on Telegram, he recognized Melody's profile on his list of friends.

Seth arched his eyebrows and looked at Melody expectantly.

He suggested, "Why don't we go for a two-player game?"

Melody had already begun to feel uninterested in her surroundings.

Since she didn't have anything better to do, she agreed to Seth's game invitation.She didn't waste any
time and immediately logged in.

The moment Melody entered the game.She was transported inside Seth's virtual room because he was
the one who invited her.

Seth immediately saw her inside the virtual room.He was just about to start the game when he noticed
that someone had sent a request to join the group.

When he recognized that it was Lance's avatar, he denied the request immediately.

Following his entry into the game, Seth was surprised to see two strangers in his team lineup.

He turned his gaze towards Melody and gave her a confused expression, "Did you invite somebody
else?"



Melody sneered and said, "You forgot to cancel the automatic match feature.The game will not start
until we have a sufficient number of players.That's why the game algorithm automatically paired us with
two strangers to form our team."

Seth felt as if he had been made fun of.

The fact that this game had such a feature was completely unknown to him.

"The game developer should have included a feature that would have provided the players with a clear
reminder.Why didn't you mention something about this before the game started?" Seth replied, his
voice tinged with displeasure.

Melody's expression suddenly darkened after Seth said those words, but he didn't notice because he
was too preoccupied with his phone.

Melody, on the other hand, had to acknowledge that Seth was actually right on this matter.She planned
to contact the technical department to incorporate additional courses of action so that gaming newbies
and rookies wouldn't have a hard time figuring out the game.

Even though an issue happened, it looked like Seth was not troubled by it anymore.

He wasn't the type of person who got conflicted easily, so he naturally wouldn't be concerned by such a
minor issue.

"Do you want to exit this virtual room and start over again?" Seth asked.

Melody didn't seem to mind the idea.

It might be possible that Seth would not be as good as the other two players if she insisted on bringing
him along.



She couldn't bring herself to agree with the idea because she was too lazy to do so.

Melody shook her head and replied, "No, it's alright.Let's continue.We'll just go with this lineup"

She asserted that there was no reason to withdraw from the current game lineup.

Therefore, Seth had no intention of doing so either.

Seth's operating system interface was still the most rudimentary of the group.He had only seen Melody
play it before, and he had never tried his hand at it before.

Other members of the team sent a simultaneous joint parachuting invitation.

Seth remained still, unsure of what to do.

Following Melody's lead, he also accepted the invitation the moment he saw that she had done so too.

What Seth didn't know was that when the other team invited Melody to parachute with them, they
recognized that Melody's account was that of a female.

The smart system could even recognize the gender of the players.

Before landing, Melody had always been too lazy to operate, so the system tacitly chose the
appropriate opponents.

It was a system feature to automatically choose "agree" for a player who failed or refused to choose.

The other team members in their group were not picked at random.

Instead, both of them were already acquainted with each other.



The efficiency of the other party was usually matched to the performance of the equivalent teammates
by the integrated game framework.

For example, if Melody and Seth added each other on Telegram, it was reasonable to assume that they
must be acquainted with one another.

The teammates who have been assigned to each team by the game algorithm were the players who
have already been acquainted with each other.

Melody and Seth were assigned to the positions of Player 1 and Player 2, respectively.

Meanwhile, their other teammates were also a pair of aman and a woman.

The girl was Player 3, and the boy was Player 4.

Player 4 was in charge of parachuting at this point in the game.

He chose a location that was quite abundant in resources, and there weren't many players who could
find such a place.

It was a shame that they'd had a bad run of luck in this round.

Despite the fact that the location they selected was safeguarded, a large number of teams were landing
in their area.

Melody took a few steps back and examined her surroundings.

There were at least four teams gathered in the vicinity.

The moment she landed, Player 3 spoke out of the blue.



Her voice was laced with sneering disapproval, "Why are there two people who are not
communicating? Don't be like that, guys.If you fall or encounter a problem in landing, we won't assist
you!"

Player 4 was alerted by the dissatisfaction in her voice and rushed over to comfort her, "Don't be so
worked up.You still have me, alright? I'll support you in any way that I can.I promise and guarantee to
bring you to the finals.

"Since you are with me, I don't feel so alone now.I always knew that I could rely on you.I have faith in
your marksmanship!"

Player 3 replied, feeling relieved.

Melody stood by the sidelines and allowed her two teammates to converse.

Then, as soon as she got her hands on two available firearms, she hurled one of them near Seth's feet.

She didn't even bother to switch on her microphone.

Given that Seth was seated beside her, she felt like she didn't need it at all.

"Pick up the gun and follow me!" Melody exclaimed.

"Ah!"

Just as she finished speaking, a gunshot was heard, followed by the shouts of her teammates, who she
was listening in on from her earphones.
