Arc 3.1 Xiao Yao

Arc 3.1 Xiao Yao

"Hands up!"

'What's happening?'

Upon waking up in his next world, Shu Yin found himself kneeling on the ground with three other people.

They were surrounded by many corpses and people with ill intent pointing a gun toward them.

Looking around him, he found himself in a dark cave.

'What am I doing here? No, more importantly, why are we surrounded?'

[Host, be careful. Those people have bad intentions.] Xiao Xiao warned.

'I'm not blind. I could see that they will shoot if I make a wrong move. Anyway, what's the story plot? Quick. Before I die.'

[......]

[............]

'Xiao Xiao?'

Seeing that the System was silent, Shu Yin felt that something was not right.

'What's wrong?'

[...Host, there is no plot.]

After being quiet for some time, Xiao Xiao finally said its piece.

'What?! How could there be no plot?'

[I also don't know, Host. Looking at the world's data, the plot was nowhere to be found. There is no story plot nor love plot at all in this world.]

'So, you mean?'

Shu Yin felt a bad premonition asking the System.

This is the first time that the story plot didn't exist in a world he was world-hopping in.

If there is no plot then, he will need to blindly go around this world!

[Host, you need to rely on your own smarts in this world.]

BINGO!!

Shu Yin felt that the world is making a joke out of him. But he can't do a thing at all.

All this time, he had been relying on the story plot to plan his schemes but now that it's gone he.... it's thrilling!

Without a plot then he could mess around a lot!

But also without it, the future events and some stories related to the plot would be left uncovered. So, it is up to him to uncover it!

'If I can't have the plot, can you still give me the key characters of the story, right? Also, analyze this world's difficulty and type. I want to know all the details.'

[Yes, Host!]

[World Type: Modern.]

'Glad it's modern time. But why a cave of all places? Shouldn't I be in an office or school or something?'

[Story Tittle: Tomb Raiders!]

[Host, it's because this world is a little special. You have a special occupation. Hehe.]

'Don't hehe me. I'm not happy about this.'

[Difficulty: ??????]

'Why is the difficulty in question marks?'

[Host, I can't identify the difficulty of this world. The plot is such a mess that I could only scrape off some of the things I could get.]

'Is this a zombie apocalypse world? Why is a modern world so hard with an unreadable difficulty?'

[I don't think Host is in an apocalyptic world. Scanning the world, there are no zombies.]

'Then why is the world's difficulty unreadable?'

[Maybe it's because there are things here unexplainable by modern science. Things that shouldn't exist or be here.]

'What do you mean?'

[Host, every tomb has so many traps and unexplainable creatures to be found in there unexplainable by science. It is a wonder how those monsters were created but they do exist and humans are of no match for them.]

'In short?'

[In short, there are monsters in the tombs, and lots of them. The host should be careful. But I believe with Host's superhuman strength and knowledge, Host will be fine.]

'I pray that I would be.'

[Key Characters:]

[ML: Fei Chen]

[FL: Leng MianMian]

[SML: Chen Qiao]

[And the Host body's name is Xiao Yao, the young master of the Xiao family.]

[Also Host, you need to know that this world despite being modern has many dangerous bumps ahead.]

'What do you mean?'

[Host will know once you get the original body's memory.]

Feeling a headache, Shu Yin's eyebrows furrowed a little. Sweat began to fall down his forehead.

All this time, while Shu Yin was talking with the System, the goons who were pointing a gun ready to shoot at them had gathered the four of them at a corner.

He had his eyes closed the moment he sat down on the cold dirty floor not caring about the outside world anymore.

He was so calm and collected that the others looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

The young master of the Xiao family who was known as a good-for-nothing in the Tomb Raiding world/business, despite the ten-generation-long business his family had been known for, was expected to freak out and whine or cry being threatened by a gun.

Expecting a show, even after many people had been shot to the ground, he was still as calm as the still water and even had the guts to have a seat and close his eyes despite the gun threatening them.

The current Xioa Yao in front of them and the Xiao Yao that entered together with them looks actually different.

The one who entered with them resembled the rumors flying around a lot.

He was chatty, spoiled, always whining at the smallest things, loved to flirt with girls, and most of all loved to anger those around him.

But the current Xiao Yao had a different air on him.

Ever since opening his eyes after being knocked down after a round of being noisy, his eyes and movement had the calmness of an expert or someone who had the situation under his control.

He seemed like he did not even care about the guns pointing toward him.

He was so calm that they could even hear him...snore.

"Brother Fei, is he sleeping?" Leng MianMian who could not take her eyes off Xiao Yao whispered to Fei Chen who was also baffled about Xiao Yao's behavior.

"It seems so."

"Don't mind him." Chen Qiao said.

Chen Qiao was also speechless seeing Xiao Yao sleep so peacefully. If he continues to sleep like this, he may never wake up again.

"Brother Fei, Brother Chen, what should we do now?"

"Let's wait and see what they want from us. Having so many people around with guns, we are no match with them." Fei Chen said to Leng MianMian who looked a bit nervous.

This was the first for Leng MianMian to be threatened with a gun. Even after so many tomb raidings done together with her family before, this is the first time her life was threatened.

"Why are they even after us? I can't see why they are keeping us here. They killed almost all of the people with us but they kept us alive, why?"

"Shouldn't you know the answer to that?"

"Your awake!" Leng MianMian gasped.

"Why? Do you prefer that I never woke up?" Shu Yin or now known as Xiao Yao said back.

"I.... I didn't mean it that way."

Leng MianMian quickly denied trying to act pitiful while on the way fluttering her dog eyes at the two men beside her.

"Xiao Yao, your too much!"

Fei Chen who was the ever-faithful male lead stood up for Leng MianMian in anger about to grab his collar but was stopped by Chen Qiao.

"Fei Chen, don't cause trouble."

Chen Qiao put his hand on Fei Chen's shoulders and glared at Xiao Yao who looked as if he had done nothing wrong.

"Why am I too much? You're the one who is too much. I'm just asking a question. Why are you reacting so strongly? Or perhaps, did I hit it correctly?"

Xiao Yao clap his hands together and smirked which irritated Fei Chen more.

"Xiao Yao..."

Fei Chen grits his teeth.

Fei Chen who was still being held by Chen Qiao by the shoulders looked as if he was killing Xiao Yao in his mind a million times already.

The way he called out the other's name was biting.

"Stop already." Chen Qiao said to the two of them but he was looking at Xiao Yao which meant that what he said was for him.

Xiao Yao just shrugged his shoulders and playfully use his hands to act as if he was zipping his lips.

But, the damage was already done so this act only irritated them more.

Chen Qiao could only sigh and act like the adult one not wanting to trouble himself with an immature kid.

"The four of us should not fight. Were in no situation to fight amongst ourselves if we want to get out of this situation."

"So Mr. Smarty Pants, what should we do?"
