Clown Game
Chapter 120 - 120 106 The First Ranked Player

Chapter 120: Chapter 106: The First Ranked Player Chapter 120: Chapter 106: The First Ranked Player “Purple?” The uncle at the equipment exchange area found it really hard to accept, so he asked again.

Chen Xiao, with an impatient look, “What’s wrong with purple? I want purple!” he yelled.

Just earlier, when he learned that the suit color could be chosen, “Purple” mysteriously popped into Chen Xiao’s mind first. Of course, it was just for a moment, because he also felt that “purple” was not that great; generally, suits should be black or blue.

But seeing the uncle across him looking like he was judging a gay person, he got really annoyed.

What’s the matter, can’t I afford it? I’m not changing my mind! I want purple!

And the staff at the equipment exchange area, seeing Chen Xiao acting like a big shot just because he had paid, could only helplessly shrug.

Whatever, this kid doesn’t seem normal anyway. If he says purple, it’ll be purple.

…

…

Three floors underground, Chen Xiao stepped out of the “equipment exchange area,” casually tossing the previous suit into a nearby trash bin, making a disgusted face as he did so.

Normally, he would stare with dead fish eyes, hunch his back, shove both hands into his pockets, and sport a look begging to be hit; but now, he had completely transformed, walking proudly with his chest out, a can of hemostatic spray in each hand, swinging his right hand back and forth with his steps. Whenever he passed a few guards, he hurriedly put on a pompous “nouveau riche” attitude, lightly patting his suit with the back of his hand as if dusting it off.

Yes, the bulletproof suit was his!

The hemostatic spray too!

At that moment, Chen Xiao truly felt he was radiating brilliance, with everyone looking at him with admiring eyes…

Of course, such behavior only made him appear “insane” to others.

…

Just as he was basking in his delightful fantasies.

Suddenly, the vibration of a phone snapped him back to reality. Now he wasn’t scared, since he was “broke and carefree,” so he didn’t mind whatever complications could arise.

Thus, with a fearless expression, Chen Xiao stylishly pulled out his phone.

He paused for a moment

Don’t worry, that previous “suppression” wouldn’t happen again. This time, what surprised Chen Xiao was that the caller was Bai Xiong.

No, it should be said that someone was calling him.

This was historically the first person who had ever called Chen Xiao proactively. Even when the team had sent the “Elite Competition Ticket” last time, it was just a message, because a normal person would not want to interact too much with someone like Chen Xiao.

But he didn’t think too much about it and directly answered the call.

“Hi~~~” Chen Xiao greeted, in a particularly good mood.

The other side was silent for a few seconds.

“Did you get promoted to Grade C?” Bai Xiong asked.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah…” Chen Xiao replied, vigorously nodding his head as though the other person could see him.

Another bout of silence followed, obviously, the other party was struggling with some intense internal debate.

“I got promoted too…” Bai Xiong said.

“Oh, oh…” Chen Xiao responded casually,

He wasn’t at all surprised by this; unless Bai Xiong didn’t want to, his capabilities made Level B, Level A just a matter of time.

Another pause followed, with Bai Xiong’s typical methodical way of thinking, it was rare for something to make him this troubled.

After a few seconds…

“I want to join,” he said, as if he had finally made up his mind.

“What?” Chen Xiao was taken aback, then quickly realized what Bai Xiong meant.

“You want to join the Giggling Bird Squad?” Chen Xiao cried out excitedly.

There was another stretch of silence.

“I checked the team you registered, it should be called Giggling Bird Squad,” Bai Xiong said indifferently.

Chen Xiao put on a thoughtful expression, “Oh, now that you mention it, it does seem right, but it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Bai Xiong was silent for the fifth time.

“I’ll see you later.” He said and quickly hung up the phone because if he talked further with Chen Xiao, he would regret his decision.

…

…

On the lower ground floor, in Mrs.Liu’s office.

“What? You want to apply to join his team?” Mrs.Liu looked at Bai Xiong with disbelief.

Bai Xiong took a deep breath silently.

“Yes!” he said.

Mrs.Liu frowned with utmost seriousness, “Are you really sure?”

Chen Xiao, watching from the side, started to feel displeased, “Hey hey, he already said yes. Why does your statement seem prejudiced?”

Mrs.Liu completely ignored Chen Xiao and just looked at Bai Xiong, realizing he seemed truly resolute, she couldn’t help but sigh as if to say, “Such a good kid, gone to waste.”

Then, she reluctantly entered “Bai Xiong” into the team member list.

Seeing that the team member had been entered, Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Xiong with some surprise.

“You’re really called Bai Xiong?” Chen Xiao asked.

In fact, Chen Xiao had always thought that “Bai Xiong” was just a codename since the other had mentioned he was part of a mercenary group, and “Bai Xiong” really sounded like a codename.

Seeing the other nod, Chen Xiao suddenly sported a very happy expression and chuckled heartily for a few moments.

This laughter gave Bai Xiong a rather bad feeling.

A few minutes later, Mrs.Liu finished all the registration tasks, and at that moment, the Giggling Bird Squad welcomed its first member.

So, what changes had the Giggling Bird Squad undergone at this moment?

According to the traditions of the Foundation, all squad members’ funds could be shared. For instance, if Bai Xiong had 100 and Chen Xiao had 100, they could discuss and directly buy something worth 200 to use.

Moreover, the more members in the squad, the more rewards there were for group mission settlements. It had been said before that this was one of the Foundation’s methods to encourage team combat. So, judging by a two-person team, there should be an extra 20 points or so.

Of course, there were many other conveniences, and we will explain these slowly when needed later.

Now, Chen Xiao and Bai Xiong had finished the team member registration, so they both left Mrs.Liu’s office.

On the corridor…

“Why though?” Chen Xiao suddenly asked.

Indeed, Bai Xiong suddenly wanting to join the team was an unusual move. Chen Xiao had been reluctant to ask all this while, fearing that if he asked too much, the other might have a change of heart and back out, resulting in a big loss. But now that everything was “done and dusted,” Chen Xiao naturally asked straightforwardly.

Bai Xiong clearly knew this question was coming, but he simply answered, “I need a stronger team…”

Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, appearing indifferent.

“And then?” Chen Xiao asked casually, though the other didn’t want to say much, his urgency to join the team suggested he certainly had some urgent matters to attend to.

Sure enough, Bai Xiong stated calmly

…

“I know of a team mission, 700 reward funds, usually requires a five-person squad to complete… but I believe… you and me, two people, are enough.”
