Usually, someone would only ask to be taught something by someone with more knowledge or more experience than them.
Max expected Lily to be a real newbie who had never played V-Shelter Survival before. But he was so wrong about that.
"What are you doing?" Lily asked in a confused tone as she looked at Max, still bowing his head.
"I pay respect to the expert." Max answered with a straight tone as he raised his head, "Compared to a newbie like me, Master Lily has achieved great things in this game. Thus, it is natural that I bow in your presence!"
"Stop that. You are acting strange right now," She said, frowning, "Like my brother." She added with a disgusted tone.
"A-Ahaha..." He could only smile wryly as he knew about her relationship with StoneSword. Rather, he knew her older brother's excessive love, which made the situation awkward.
'Well, I did admit that I acted strangely.' He thought. 'But the viewers love it.'
In a normal situation, he wouldn't act like that. He was just giving a little bit of a comedic act to his viewers.
"My bad," He smiled apologetically at Lily, "But I never thought that you were fully geared like this. You know... I expected you to be a newbie in this game like me."
"My older brother gave them to me." She answered with a stoic expression, "He said this is a gear recommended by a beginner. This is my first time playing this game."
"Aah..."
Max immediately understood what had happened just with that explanation.
— StoneSword is her older brother, right? How protective!
— Beginner equipment? More like end-game equipment!
— What a loving brother... Die, StoneSword!
— I am totally not jealous. Totally not!
— An overgeared newbie and the luckiest newbie. What a combination!
"Well, in that case, you know nothing about this game?" Max asked Lily with a calm voice. His embarrassment was gone almost immediately after knowing the truth behind Lily's equipment.
Lily nodded in confirmation.
"I see." Max fully understood now. She wasn't lying. "Then let me tell you the fundamental rules of this game and what you should be careful of."
"Un."
After getting another confirmation, Max explained how this game was with a short explanation.
They needed to find loot, and zombies were their enemies.
[StoneSword has donated 2,500 diamonds!]
[I believe she can't see this. But make sure she's not hurt and actually has fun too.]
"Your wish is my command, brother." He immediately changed as usual.
— Damn, the brother is here!
— It's not strange as they must be acquainted through the program
— lolol the power of money, the only thing Breeze is afraid of and can't beat!
— Capitalism wins!
— I trust you. And don't call me brother
Lily peeked from the side and asked curiously, "Are you talking to the viewers?"
"Yes." Max answered, "Come to think of it, I haven't linked the chat window to your account yet. Give me a moment. I will make you a moderator."
Following that, Max tweaked his stream a little and connected Lily's account, making her a moderator. Her eyes widened a little bit as she pressed an invisible button. After that, a smile bloomed under her black mask.
"I can see it." She said, "There are many viewers."
"Well, there are more than 10 thousand now." He replied as he scratched the back of his head.
"And they are... unique." She added as she looked at the chat window.
— Hello, LilyPixel!
— Hello hello!
— I love youu!! Marry me!
— Please take care of our boy. He has been maidenless for a long time
— My boy has grown up. *Sob* This is pretty embarrassing, forgive me for crying
"... They are."
Those were the only things Max could say. The walk was silent as Lily also never started any conversation first. Thankfully, they arrived at their destination soon.
"There it is." Max stopped in his tracks and looked at a large warehouse surrounded by a tall fence. "We will loot this place."
"Hmm..." Lily hummed as she looked at the abandoned building. It had a creepy atmosphere oozing out from inside. "It's creepy."
