The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 241: Lin Erer & Dove

Chapter 241: Lin Erer & Dove

“Stop wasting my time. Quickly sign this for me!”

Lin Yiyi glared and slammed the table, “Quickly press your finger on it!”

The spectacled youth in front of Lin Yiyi had a bitter look on his face. He pleaded with pitiful eyes, “Sister! I’m your blood-related brother!”

You can’t scam your brother like that. Lin Erer murmured in his heart.

Just by looking at their names, it was apparent that their father was lazy in naming.

Lin Erer received a call today. His sister gave the order, asking him to get a half-day leave from a school counselor. Then, he must arrive at the Mountain She Villa Area before dinner.

In the end, Lin Erer skipped cla.s.s helplessly out of pressure. He requested three days’ leave from the counselor with the excuse of “my sister is getting married”.

Seeing that he had to put down his studies for a few days temporarily, the youth put up a sad expression.

Lin Erer didn’t expect his elder sister to get familiar with a sugar mommy one day.

Jiu Er was a streamer. Lin Erer heard of her before — she was a well-known rich woman in the streamer circle.

…or rather, Rich Loli.

[TN: Young girls whose appearance is childlike.]

Although Lin Erer was only a soph.o.m.ore this year, he was also a streamer registered in the Fighting Cat Streaming Platform.

In the beginning, he existed as a “tool” in Lin Yiyi’s videos, often featured in cooperative gameplay videos. The alias he often went with was “Suuankou Tanki “. [1]

Since Lin Yiyi had the alias of “Sister Hyphen”, Lin Erer was soon dubbed “Brother Koutsu” [2] by the viewers.

His skills and reflex weren’t as good as his sister’s, but he had great comedic effect for the audience. Also, he was quick-witted, enabling him to build a bond quickly with his audience and attain some popularity.

After the college entrance examination, he registered a streaming account when he had nothing to do and streamed cla.s.sic puzzle games like “Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors“, “Ace Attorney“, “The Witch’s House“, and so on.

Unexpectedly, he became famous.

In just over a year, he had become a well-known game streamer focusing on non-mainstream games. He had made a lot of money by playing new horror games, puzzle games, mahjong, and auto chess.

When Lin Erer heard that Lin Yiyi had moved to Jiu Er’s house some time ago, he was a little surprised.

Yay!

My elder sister has become the rich loli’s sugar baby.

I’m so jealous… Wait, no, it’s disgusting!

After a phone call with his sister, he thought he would be visiting for a free meal.

But he didn’t expect that…

As soon as he got there, Lin Yiyi took him inside a room and asked him to sign a strange contract.

What’s the nonsense with this being an actual world, and there’s a world creation engine?

Lin Yiyi wasn’t as smart as him, but her IQ wasn’t terrible at all. After all, she graduated from a prestigious university.

How did she get played like a fiddle?

“Stop hesitating. Just sign it!” Lin Yiyi slapped Lin Erer on the head, annoyed, “Have you finished reading the contract? Have you remembered what’s written on it? Hurry up and press your fingerprint on it. You don’t need to put your hand on the ink pad… I’ll treat you to a dinner when you’re done!”

She was also quite helpless.

Although she had the privilege to invite someone into that world, Lin Yiyi’s social circle was limited. Due to her age and gender, her video manager wasn’t quite close to her. Worse still, the manager wasn’t great at games.

Finally, after thinking a while, she realized she could only rely on her young brother.

This naughty disciple hasn’t helped me with videos for a long time. However, I have been helping out in his streams when he returns home during school breaks.

Of course, Lin Yiyi didn’t show her face.

Instead, she only utilized her a.s.sets to catch viewers.

Of course, she wouldn’t have much to reveal.

“Fine, fine…” Lin Erer helplessly pressed his fingerprint on the contract.

Haih, I’m just coaxing my elder sisterto make her happy.

It’s all for dinner’s sake.

Lin Yiyi suddenly remembered something. She stopped him nervously, “By the way, don’t choose the swordsman profession. Remember to look carefully. Different professions have different advantages. Read them in detail, and you will find out what’s the right profession for you.”

She had already asked for more details from Child G.o.d and Jiu Er.

It appeared that everyone had different professions available to them. There wasn’t much strategy that Lin Yiyi could offer to her brother because of the randomization.

Also, the difference in the professions’ initial strength would a.s.sist the players in finding the most suitable profession for them. If two professions had a similar power level, it was fine to choose either one. If only one profession stood out, it meant that the profession was the most suitable one.

“I got it, sis!” Lin Erer said impatiently, “Isn’t it just a game? You have to trust my game talent.”

When he pressed his fingerprint on the contract, Lin Erer felt something was wrong.

He felt that it didn’t feel like pressing on a paper.

He subconsciously exerted a little more force, but his hand was knocked back by the feeling of static electricity.

A tingling sensation ran from his fingertips to his elbows.

Immediately after, Lin Erer saw that the three contract pages flew up by themselves and burned to ashes in the air—

Then, the thin youth with gla.s.ses suddenly pa.s.sed out.

Seeing Lin Erer falling toward her, Lin Yiyi subconsciously retreated and dodged away from his fall perfectly. Only then did she realize that he shouldn’t have avoided it.

“This is PTSD, and I’m a veteran.” She helped Lin Erer up in guilt. She tried to drag him off the carpet and put him onto the bed but gave up after a few tries.

So, Lin Yiyi decided to do the opposite, taking the pillow and quilt off for her brother and putting them on the carpet.

“Jiu Er’s carpet is quite soft. It doesn’t feel too cool. You can just lie down here and sleep.” Lin Yiyi mumbled, feeling a little thirsty.

I should go to Jiu Er for a drink~

After all, she had fooled her clever younger brother into the game, so Lin Yiyi walked out of the room happily.

On the other side…

Delicious Wind Goose’s “invitation code” was also handed to the last player of this batch.

Without much hesitation, she chose the profession with a hunting bow and pets by her side.

She had great confidence in her archery skills.

Furthermore, this “game” seemed to amplify her strength.

After she invested all of her attribute points, she tried to clench her fist and found that her strength was slightly stronger than in reality, but her stamina seemed weaker. As for her flex and the accuracy of movements, it was significantly better. She also found it easier to fix the arrow on the box and pull the string.

[ID: Dove]

Human. Female. Level 5.

Health: 100%

Attributes: Strength 5, Agility 10, Const.i.tution 5, Perception 5, Will 5

Available Attribute Points: 0

Shared Experience: 0

Profession Overview:-

Hunter LV5: [Curse s.n.a.t.c.h LV1], [Shared Perception LV2], [Precision LV1]

Animal Companions: Feline (Medium size) [Nightvision], [Silent Steps], [Stealth Proficiency]

Temporary curse: Empty slot

[Please confirm your initial panel.]

“Confirm,” Dove replied.

She invested all her attribute points into the [Agility] attribute and increased [Shared Perception] by one level.

This was because she didn’t know much about the skill [Curse s.n.a.t.c.h]… and the description of [Precision] was that it greatly increased the accuracy against static enemies within 50 meters.

…She didn’t need this kind of buff.

A fixed target within 50 meters was like challenging the ninth or tenth ring in target archery [3]. If she promoted this skill into Level 2, the skill would apply to “low-speed dynamic targets” rather than static targets only.

For a significant improvement, she would have to increase the skill to Level 4.

Luckily, her archery was excellent due to her natural talent, and she could save a lot of skill points for other options.

Dove realized that she fit extremely well in this profession.

Her strength in this profession was much higher than all other professions. Moreover, she could choose [Bear] or [Big Cat] as her initial animal companion!

An armored bear could defeat 3 swordsmen of the same level.

Despite that, she hesitated. In consideration of the late game, she chose the medium-sized cat.

[TN: Late game refers to the final stage of the game/esports.]

If Dove promoted [Shared Perception] into Level 2, she could exchange her vision with her animal companion after a short delay.

With that, she could be a scout roaming around the battlefield.

She specially selected her animal companions as felines to further enhance this functionality. A large animal would struggle to stay stealthy while being too small in size would be too weak for fights. A medium-sized animal was optimal. Also, Dove chose her animal companion’s starting talent.

As for the exterior…

Dove had her obsessions and personal preferences. In the end, the pet was granted a Serval skin.

Looking at the cat that appeared like a small cheetah in front of her, she was delighted.
