Chapter 144 Pei Hening: It unilaterally made up with me
Xia Zhi wore a black fur-lined turtleneck under a gray suspender pleated skirt, and carried the handle of a delicate and beautiful long-handled black lace umbrella. She walked gracefully to Xi Xixia's side and stood side by side with her.
"Humans can detect imposters much faster than we could back then, right?"
Xixia's golden eyes calmly looked at Xia Zhi: "I don't know why you came to the school, but I hope you can abide by the school rules, Annie."
Xia Zhi chuckled lightly, her tone mocking: "An Anni is dead. I am Xia Zhi, just Xia Zhi."
"Um."

Partition 01-949.
Wearing a thick combat suit, Li Pangui killed the last box monster and asked, "Has the data been recorded?"
[Falcon] nodded: "Sister Li, what do you think of the broadcast just now?"
Li Pangui said, "Use your eyes to see, organize the data first, and send it out later."
[Falcon] knew this wasn't the time for idle chatter and that it was time to get to work: "Okay."
Li Pangui: "After we finish organizing the data, let's go find Bai Ge. I need to talk to her about something."
When she was searching for a way back to Blue Star, she peeked into the River of Fate dozens of times and saw a bald male player with a knife scar on his brow slaughtering other players.
I also saw her, the bald man, Falcon and others discussing things in a conference room. On the wall of the conference room was a global map of Earth and a Chinese flag.
When she glimpsed these two scenes, she kept wondering why they were able to get along peacefully with the bald man. It wasn't until she received the [Special Cross - Hunting] that she guessed that the player the bald man killed might be a traitor from Blue Star.
Based on the server-wide announcement and the news from Wang Jingyun, she had a new guess.

Pei Hening ran towards where she had hidden the fish bucket and fishing rod and saw the bald, smoky-voiced bandit with his front paws on the fish bucket, struggling to pry it open, trying to steal the fish.
It smelled a strong stench of blood, its body stiffened, and when it looked up, it met Pei Hening's disgusted gaze. It awkwardly withdrew its hand and sat down on the ground, elegantly licking the front paws that had been scratching the fish.
She ignored the charlatan and checked the weight of the fish in the bucket; thankfully, the little rascal hadn't stolen any.
Although it wasn't kind of her, she did feel relieved.
She picked up her things and headed to the place she had arranged to meet with the Northeast floral cotton-padded jacket enthusiast.
"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
[My WeChat steps are zero] I sat on the fishing chair, all bundled up, baited my hook and cast my line.
Aren't you worried I'll run away with the bucket?
[My WeChat steps are zero] He hummed in agreement: "You won't. Even if you run away, I won't lose anything."
Pei Hening placed the fish bucket next to her and said, "That unlucky guy has thirteen pounds and three ounces of fish. You take seven pounds and two ounces, and I'll take the rest, okay?"
"Sure, as long as you don't feel like you're losing out."
Pei Hening took the fish from that unlucky guy, and also took the fish from [Send me the recipe for grilled king oyster mushrooms], so it wasn't a bad deal.
After sorting the fish, she also found a spot to fish.
[WeChat steps are zero] Looking at a little orange cat rubbing against Pei Hening's leg, she asked in confusion, "Have you made up with this robber?"
Pei Hening paused for a moment, then said, "It unilaterally made up with me."
"...Do you expect it to ask for your opinion? Isn't that taking advantage of the fact that it can't speak?"
Pei Hening baited the hook and cast his line: "It stole my fish."
[My WeChat steps are zero] Thinking of that big black fish, she felt a little sorry for it, so she changed the subject: "Did you hear the system announcement just now?"
"What exactly is an imposter?"
Pei Hening looked at her, somewhat puzzled: "Don't you check the chat channels?"
"The imposters are normal players who have been replaced by 'players' who stay in certain dungeons. They hide in the crowd while posing as normal players."
[My WeChat steps are zero] A layer of fine goosebumps rose on my body: "I don't really look at the chat channels, is it really as scary as you say?"
Pei Hening frowned, recalling the scene of [Send me the recipe for roasted king oyster mushrooms] ruthlessly snapping the necks of other players, and warned, "They are dangerous."
[WeChat steps are zero] hummed in agreement: "I really want to meet Didi Didi, who triggered the server-wide announcement several times. That's amazing."
Pei Hening: "...You want to see her, is it because you admire her?"
[My WeChat steps are zero] I looked at her in surprise: "How could you think that? She's incredibly capable, but I'm just as good, okay? My mom said that you shouldn't boost others' morale while diminishing your own. It's pathetic if you don't even trust yourself."
She added, "I just wanted to see the difference between her and me."
Pei Hening nodded: "I see."
Seeing that Pei Hening was ignoring it and not feeding it, the bald, smoky-voiced robber quickly shifted its target and started meowing at [WeChat steps are zero].
[My WeChat steps are zero] I quickly turned my head away. This little cat had no idea that it was a little pincer.
Pei Hening caught a fish. She busied herself reeling it in. It was a small black fish weighing about three ounces, and it looked just like the fish she had caught earlier that weighed over a pound.
She caught sight of the bald, smoky-voiced bandit staring at the fish with obvious interest, so she quickly grabbed the fish and stuffed it into the fish bucket.
The next second, three ounces of fish were missing from her bucket!
Pei Hening: "?"
She suddenly realized what was happening, looked up, and met the bald, smoky-voiced robber's disdainful gaze.
Her conscience bothered her a little, so she grabbed a small fish weighing about three or four ounces from the fish bucket and handed it over: "King Mimi, I was wrong, I slandered you, I apologize."
The little orange cat walked over with its head held high, taking small, shuffling steps, and accepted her offering.
[Her WeChat steps are zero] Hearing this, she looked over and, noticing her quick change in attitude, asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you apologizing to this little pair of pliers?"
Pei Hening: "The fish it stole earlier was a fish with a debuff."
[My WeChat steps are zero] Upon hearing this, he looked at the little orange cat with burning eyes, cleared his throat, and said, "Baby, do you want to eat the big fish I caught?"
The little orange cat ignored her and continued munching on the little fish.
Pei Hening heard footsteps approaching from afar, and the unlucky fish thief angrily questioned, "Did you two go to steal my fish?"
Pei Hening thought the unlucky guy was questioning her and the Northeastern floral cotton-padded jacket, but when she turned around, she saw the unlucky guy with a green face blocking the other two fish thieves.
"You've misunderstood. How could we possibly do such a despicable thing?"
"Still pretending? Do you really think I don't know what kind of people you two are?"
"Yes, I admit we did have that idea, but we didn't have time to put it into practice. After you were taken away by the administrator, I'm sorry, my sister brought another administrator over, and that's how we were able to escape and reunite!"
The unlucky fish thief lost his temper and yelled, "Don't let me see her, or I'll make her pay!"
How do you want me to look good?
