It must be that the other members of the same clansmen behind him have affected his image!
"I'm here with good intentions, as long as I can join."
"As for the others behind them, I don't know them at all; you can just kick them out."
"What do you mean? You want to eat it all by yourself?"
Before Artoria could finish speaking, a hand was firmly pressed down on her shoulder.
The cold, golden eyes were fixed on the traitor's figure, as if the traitor was about to be eliminated at any moment.
"You should know what happens to those in our family who try to take everything for themselves, right?"
With his other hand, he grabbed one of her shoulders, and under the combined force of their strength, he managed to keep Artoria completely immobile.
The remaining two immediately pulled out their phones and started recording, trying to gather evidence of this guy's betrayal.
Under the weight of these threats, Artoria broke out in a cold sweat.
Damn it, why do we all have to go to the same school?!
Watching the five scheming against each other, Jiang Qiu, standing in the crowd, couldn't help but ask Mordred—
"Are they all from the same family?"
“Well, the Camelot Group is a family business. These guys are closely related by blood; they're practically cut from the same mold.”
"However, the one at the front is a direct descendant. Under normal circumstances, the company will be handed over to her by her sister in the future."
"However, her sister was usurped by another sister, Morgan, recently, so it's hard to say who will succeed her. Maybe I'll be able to sit on the throne myself."
Mordred chuckled, making no attempt to hide his ambition.
Forget about succession; I'm going to crush them one by one and seize the throne by sheer power!
Upon hearing the information, Jiang Qiu's face immediately showed a look of confusion.
"There's an older sister too?"
"That's right, but he looks taller and bigger than these guys. His physique is like his bloodline has mutated."
Recalling that overwhelmingly large size, Mordred couldn't help but purse her lips.
If I grow a few more years, it's not impossible for me to take on the challenge!
"what do you say that is?"
"It's also according to the family's strange tradition that everyone uses the name Artoria."
"But the surname is different, something like Lungomimi Niad, it's too hard to pronounce, I'm too lazy to remember it."
"I thought that guy looked really imposing, so I just called him the Lion King and that was it."
“In our area, it’s easier to remember everyone by their nicknames. For example, the one who’s in line to inherit the throne is just called the ‘King with the Hairy Hair’.”
"And what about Black Dumbass, B Dumbass, X Dumbass, C Dumbass?"
Mordred muttered to himself, counting on his fingers, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
With such a terrifying number of people in this family, how long would it take for me to rise to the top?
As expected, he still had to usurp the throne!
Jiang Qiu and the others were stunned by what they heard. When they looked at the several Artorias in front of them again, their expressions became somewhat subtle.
The family's food supply is probably under more pressure than you can imagine!
"Let's go, let's ignore these guys, playing games is the priority."
"Shina, is it the one inside?"
"Huh? Oh, that's right."
Shino, who was engrossed in eating melon seeds, finally snapped out of her daze and hurriedly led everyone to squeeze into the club activity room.
Before leaving, Lappland didn't forget to drag Exusiai away, who was engrossed in watching the show while eating sunflower seeds.
"Hey, don't pull me, I haven't seen enough yet."
"It's not a big deal, let's go, playing games is more important."
However, when everyone stepped into the game research department's activity room, they were all stunned by the extremely luxurious decoration and various high-end gaming equipment.
In the very center, ten top-of-the-line computers were arranged face to face, their desktops all neatly tidied.
Not far away, on a large sofa, is an oversized monitor connected to the host computer, which almost takes up the entire wall.
The bookshelf next to it was filled with all kinds of comics, game art books, game lights, and figurines.
The corner of the room was even decorated into a small bar, complete with a refrigerator and a snack and beverage cabinet, which greatly impressed everyone who saw it.
The room was filled with a sense of pure enjoyment, making it impossible to even think of refusing.
"I feel like I could stay here for the rest of my life."
Fu Shi swallowed hard, feeling a little ashamed. Even when he played games at home, Fu Hua would always keep him in check.
Now that I've joined this depraved club, doesn't that mean I can do whatever I want?!
Nobody's going to drag me out of this room today!
"That lady over there is our club president this year, Asuna Yuuki."
As Shino introduced herself, the beautiful figure sitting in front of one of the computers looked over.
Her gentle and approachable smile instantly won people's hearts, and her chestnut-colored long hair shone with a warm glow in the sunlight.
"Welcome to visit the Game Research Department. You can directly try out all the game equipment in the activity room."
"If you want to join the company, you can register with me."
"You can really play with anything?!"
Dog and the others were barely able to contain their excitement.
Before Asuna could speak, Exusiai pulled everyone to their seats.
"President, leave the rest to me!"
"Then I'll trouble you."
Asuna smiled and nodded, then continued working on the files on her computer.
"Come on, try it out! These machines are fucking awesome for gaming, and you don't have to worry about network lag at all."
Just as Exusiai was pulling everyone to quickly start the game, Sinon sat down next to Asuna and yanked off her blue wig.
After letting out a long sigh of relief, she finally spoke weakly—
"So, I guess I've managed to hire someone? I don't want to go out again later."
P.S.: I'll try to include a picture of each character when they appear at the end to help you recognize them. Pictures have also been added in earlier chapters; you can refresh the page to see if you find them.
Chapter 47, Question 49: How about we sacrifice our teammates first?
"Let's have a milk tea and rest for a bit, I just ordered it."
"Silver Wolf, Kaguya, and Mokou will be finishing their classes soon, so we can leave the recruitment to them."
Asuna smiled gently and handed Shino a cup of milk tea.
After taking a big gulp, Shino let out a long sigh of relief, as if most of the day's fatigue had disappeared.
After glancing at the documents on the screen, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow—
"Is this a non-disclosure agreement for game testing?"
"I'd say it's alright, it was mainly for testing the platform."
"Ok?"
"Former club president Bronya plans to create a virtual game world that can continuously expand and incorporate a large number of games. It's a huge undertaking."
"After burning through cash like crazy for so long, we've finally built the basic platform framework. The next step is to integrate a large number of games and conduct stability testing."
"My senior asked me to report the number of people after the recruitment ended so that everyone could participate in the test."
Upon hearing this, Shino's eyes lit up immediately; this plan was quite ambitious.
If we could actually make it completely, it would definitely be a global sensation!
When will the test begin?
"Anytime is fine. I plan to do it after the recruitment is over. I'll need to trouble you to send someone to install some necessary equipment then."
"I'm really looking forward to it. I'm going to change my clothes now."
After giving a greeting, Shino grabbed her bag, which she had tossed on the sofa, and rushed out.
After watching the other party leave the activity room, Asuna's gaze immediately turned with interest to Jiang Qiu and the others who were focused on playing the game.
Encouraged by Exusiai, everyone flocked to the same shooting game on the computer, charging around with guns in a grand and imposing manner.
Gunshots and the sounds of grenade explosions echoed from the speakers, adding to the grim atmosphere of the entire activity room.
Exusiai's eyes narrowed, as if she had noticed something, and she quickly and seriously reminded him—
"Be careful, there's someone sniping at the entrance, and they're very accurate!"
"Let me see what's going on!"
As soon as someone finished speaking, four dog heads popped out almost simultaneously.
boom! ! !
With a loud bang, and seeing four corpses instantly lying dead at her feet, Exusiai's pretty face darkened.
These four things are all covered in rebellious bones, right?
Jiang Qiu and the others stared silently at the screen in front of them. After a moment's hesitation, they sighed with regret.
"A narrow defeat."
""
Exusiai's heart rate spiked slightly out of control, but since things had come to this, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue fighting the enemy alone.
With nothing else to do, Jiang Qiu and the others all gathered behind Exusiai, watching her performance with great interest.
Seeing Exusiai's incredible power as she swiftly dispatched enemies, the crowd couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
Wow, that's awesome, A-Neng!
"Their reaction time and accuracy are incredible."
"Where are the enemies? How come it ended before I saw anything?"
"Me too."
""
Seeing these guys making a ruckus, Asuna's smile deepened.
With these guys joining the club, it should be much more fun.
On the contrary, Ah Neng was driven a little crazy by these guys' interference, and he quickly sent them all away to register and fill out forms.
We have to find them something to do to kill time, otherwise we'll be the ones suffering.
Jiang Qiu and the others, without the slightest hesitation, immediately filled in their names on the form.
Finally, as if remembering something, Jiang Qiu quickly asked—
"By the way, club president, how many people are there in our club again?"
"Besides you freshmen, there are three others, but they are still in class and will arrive later."
"They're really good at video games; they set several records within the club."
"Oh, so who is our club's advisor?"
"It's the principal."
"???"
Lappland and the others stared at Asuna in disbelief. How could this club even get the principal to help them?
Jiang Qiu, on the other hand, seemed to have thought of something and clicked her tongue knowingly.
