449: Mind Reading

“What do you mean, facing an unexpected turn? Is there someone in the Central Control Building?”

“Yes, there’s a team of people, and they are very sinister,” Xiao Yun said calmly.

When Xia Ming brought them to the Central Control Building, Xiao Yun also activated his Destiny Skill to check the situation there.

He saw that this team, who spawned in the Central Control Building, did not go directly to the Core Area, nor did they launch a surprise attack on Prison Boss’s team.

Instead, they quietly hid around the stairs, waiting for their prey to take the bait!

Moreover, the equipment this team started with was also extremely insidious.

Each person wore a Level 5 large iron bucket helmet, with extremely high durability, capable of withstanding even a headshot from an M700 without dying.

[Equipment: Mask-1 Iron Wall Helmet (Brand New)

Defense Level: Level 5

Although they didn't wear much body armor, the three of them were just squatting at the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor. At this distance, if a fight broke out, others wouldn't be able to hit their bodies or legs at all, only the large iron buckets on their heads.

Besides that.

Even more exaggerated, the weapons this team held were not ordinary submachine guns, but the Viktor, which has the fastest rate of fire!

With the Viktor’s rate of fire, combined with this modification and explosive rounds, it could instantly take down a person in less than 0.3 seconds.

And at this moment, Xia Ming entering the Central Control Building was very likely to lead to trouble!

“Do you think Xia Ming can defeat them?” Jiang Kexin suddenly asked.

Her tone was very calm, with a hint of indifference, sounding less like she was concerned about others and more like she was asking for Xiao Yun's judgment.

Hearing her tone, Xiao Yun suddenly felt that this guy was probably not just testing Xia Ming's skill level, but quite possibly also testing his own skill level through these questions!

“He can’t,” Xiao Yun quickly replied, then began to ponder internally.

He first observed Jiang Kexin's expression. As expected, after he gave his answer, her attention was no longer on him, so she didn't notice that he was currently thinking about things he couldn't tell her.

At this moment, what Xiao Yun was thinking was, if this match was not only testing Xia Ming but also testing himself, then what should he do?

If this were a regular club assessment in his previous life, Xiao Yun would certainly be very willing to show off.

After all, just being a regular companion player in Delta could earn a lot of money every month.

This game is, after all, a skill-based game, and there were so many escort orders that they couldn’t keep up.

If Xiao Yun had been able to become a companion player in his previous life, he probably would have earned more money than a normal job!

What's more, those 'Demon King' level companion players.

They were all top-tier experts, earning at least thirty to fifty thousand, or even hundreds of thousands a month from playing orders, entirely depending on whether they could find a big boss willing to tip.

Xiao Yun had even heard a rumor once.

A certain poverty-alleviation streamer, who helped 'save soldiers,' pretended to be an escort in his companion-player shop, only to be noticed by a female boss.

That female boss directly confessed her feelings on stream, vowing to 'keep' him for a hundred thousand a month.

For any other streamer, Xiao Yun would have thought this was a script!

But the problem was, that poverty-alleviation streamer really did just find someone randomly in the lobby, and then lied to others that he was a five-yuan escort.

And in this world.

In the restricted area here, there was also an escort industry, and the money earned was several, even dozens of times that of his previous life.

But for Xiao Yun now, he no longer needed to earn money through escorting.

After all, in this world, haifu coin and the dragon country currency in the real world could be exchanged at a 1:1 ratio!

Just running a few knife runs in the restricted area would result in millions in income in the real world, equivalent to a year's income for those who worked as escorts.

What's more.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was not just facing a recruitment from an escort shop!

At this moment, he was facing Jiang Kexin, whom he feared even in his dreams.

This was not the time to show off.

Xiao Yun suddenly had a flash of inspiration. If Jiang Kexin was really testing him, wouldn't it be more promising to play dumb?

If Jiang Kexin thought he was incompetent, she would probably let him go!

That's right!

Xiao Yun immediately felt that this approach was completely feasible.

If Jiang Kexin continued to ask questions later, Xiao Yun decided to answer randomly!

He would best pretend to be a fool, babbling incoherently, making Jiang Kexin think he was an idiot, so she wouldn't play with him anymore.

However.

Just as Xiao Yun was planning this, Jiang Kexin smirked mischievously, turned her head, and suddenly looked at him.

“Are you planning to pretend to be dumb by not answering well if I keep asking you questions later?”

Hearing her words, Xiao Yun immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Kexin’s smile was not only mischievous at this moment, but her eyes were also like those of a succubus, as if she could see what Xiao Yun was thinking internally.

And Xiao Yun instantly felt a bit of a breakdown!

How did Jiang Kexin know everything he was thinking?!

This was no longer just a level of understanding psychology; this was like having an incredibly powerful AI large model built in her mind, capable of predicting Xiao Yun's next thoughts and actions!

“You... how can you know everything I’m thinking?!”

Xiao Yun finally couldn't hold back.

His plan, which he had thought was perfect, was seen through by her in an instant!

He had to admit, Xiao Yun was truly a bit broken at this point.

“How would I know? I just guessed,” Jiang Kexin said with a slight smile, calmly.

Although she said it was a guess, Xiao Yun knew that she was by no means that simple!

Ever since their first meeting.

Jiang Kexin actively sought him out and offered to help him resolve Li Wenzhe's matter.

Xiao Yun knew then that this woman, though she looked like a dark-themed loli, was absolutely not simple!

And through their interactions over this period, Xiao Yun became even more certain of this.

After all, this mind-reading-like ability was simply too terrifying!

And at this moment.

Jiang Kexin’s lips curved slightly upwards, looking at him with a half-smile.

“Xiao Yun, do you take me for a fool? You’ve only been in the restricted area for a little over a month and you’ve completed the GTI professional assessment. No matter how much you pretend to be dumb, how could I possibly think you’re genuinely foolish?”

“Uh... you’re right,” Xiao Yun scratched his head. It turned out he was the biggest fool!

And just at this moment.

Inside the Central Control Building, a fierce burst of gunfire erupted.

Xiao Yun knew that the team of Shu Shu players with Viktor submachine guns, who were camping, had encountered Xia Ming!
