chapter 80: the latest tactic in dropping out liu xing was most surprised to find that xue ba's profession was that of a spokesperson. a spokesperson, as the name implies, is a profession that represents an organization in public speaking. xue ba was a government spokesperson, and liu xing could only imagine how powerful the backstory of this "xue ba" character card must be. moreover, xue ba's credibility was likely at its maximum.0v3l.bin. thus, liu xing was now wondering if xue ba could simply make a phone call and summon an armed helicopter for support. after all, liu xing remembered watching a video on b station about a superhero group, where a wealthy young lady, a player, had called in a team of armed bodyguards with just one phone call and wiped out a ghoul's nest. at this moment, the remaining three players also arrived one after another. the most conspicuous among them was a foreigner, appearing to be in his early thirties. he greeted everyone with a smile, "hello, friends, i am edmond dantès, from england, an international volunteer. i'm honored to collaborate with you all." to liu xing, dantès, despite his smiling face, seemed somewhat insincere. liu xing started to doubt if he had been fooled by wu lei, as now everyone seemed untrustworthy. beside dantès was a young doctor, identifiable to liu xing instantly because of the emergency medical bag in his hand. "hello, everyone, i am shi ying, a doctor who has also studied psychology. i joined a detective club during my university days, so i am quite confident in my reasoning skills. i hope to cooperate well with you all," shi ying said with a smile. what caught liu xing's attention, however, was the large cross hanging around shi ying's neck, the kind often worn by priests in movies. liu xing stroked his chin, deducing that shi ying must be a christian, but it was unclear if he was as fanatic as bai hecheng. the last player was dressed like a socialite, wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette. "hello, everyone. my name is mo jin. my identity might sound unpleasant - i'm just a social idler. but since we are all here for disaster relief, i trust you won't hold it against me, heh." "hehe," xue ba chuckled, cutting off mo jin's words. left with no choice, mo jin turned his pleading gaze to liu xing and the others. however, as outsiders, they had already figured out xue ba's plan and simply ignored mo jin. realizing something was amiss, mo jin finally understood what xue ba was up to. relieved, he even looked forward to xue ba's next move, hoping for his help. soon after, a middle-aged man dressed as an official hurried over, smiling at xue ba. "mr. xue, are you alright?" xue ba shook his head, pointing at mo jin. "county chief yuan, this man has been targeting me. i really can't join him on the trip to earth dragon village for the relief effort." county chief yuan glared at mo jin, then said with a forced smile, "mr. xue, i've told you before that you need not go to the front lines for disaster relief. after all, a gentleman doesn't stand under a collapsing wall. you insisted on going, and now..." before county chief yuan could finish, xue ba nodded in agreement. "you're right, county chief yuan. my previous thoughts were indeed naive. i've decided not to go to earth dragon village. please arrange another place for me." county chief yuan, baffled, looked at xue ba. this was not what they had agreed upon. at that moment, the advantage of high credibility came into play. xue ba didn't give county chief yuan a chance to speak and left the parking lot with his head held high. "wow, i didn't expect such a move. learned something new," kp snail remarked in surprise. "so, because xue ba's credit reached a certain level, it's assumed that he persuaded county chief yuan. thus, xue ba no longer participates in the earth dragon village relief operation, considering it a drop-out." liu xing nodded silently. xue ba was indeed smart, adept at using his strengths and team members to quickly succeed in his withdrawal.
