"Nice one, brother." Uzi was clearly delighted when he successfully called Lin Fan over.
Goose Goose Duck was simply more fun the more people there were. With only a dozen players, many of the other roles couldn't even be used.
Lin Fan quickly opened Steam, found Goose Goose Duck, and entered the game.
Uzi was fast as well and directly sent over the room code.
Unlike the group with Teacher Ma, this lobby was mainly people from the League of Legends scene. A quick glance at the IDs showed that almost all of them were former pro players, with Lin Fan being the only active professional.
"Yare yare, Brother Infinite Borders is here. We're full, we're full. That's it—start it, start it." Thomas's booming voice was unmistakable.
Lin Fan immediately readied up as soon as he entered.
"There shouldn't be any peepers in here, right? Playing Goose Goose Duck while peeping would just kill the fun."
"We won the match today, so we're celebrating a bit—working overtime and playing some Goose Goose Duck. Everyone's here anyway."
The livestream chat instantly began to scroll like crazy.
"Comfortable. This really is a perfect day. BLG got eliminated, and Uzi actually pulled off a huge play…"
"The best part is, he even invited the mid laner who eliminated BLG to come play."
"This perfectly demonstrates 'body in Cao camp, heart in Han camp.' Xu Shu's identity is confirmed!"
Soon, the room host started the game, and Lin Fan received his role for the round.
Dodo Bird.
"Everyone thinks the Dodo Bird is hard to play, but I think there's a dedicated strategy. Watch me this round."
"We don't have a knife. If we get taken out by the Sheriff or killed by the Wolves, the game's over for us. So first rule—don't group up, don't stick together. Go solo first."
"Before that, we have to find a safe spot. On the Laboratory map, the Fog Tunnel is perfect."
While analyzing out loud, Lin Fan controlled his Dodo Bird and headed toward the Fog Tunnel.
Using the mist to obscure his figure.
"Holy shit, Brother Infinite Borders really studies every game besides League of Legends inside and out. Even the Dodo Bird has a template strategy."
"This is ridiculous—hiding here and getting laughed at for a lifetime."
"Hanging here is just begging to be mocked."
Lin Fan didn't care about the chat.
What was the Dodo Bird supposed to show off for?
Was he hoping the Sheriff would stab him, or that a Wolf would kill him?
Its combat power was the same as a regular Goose, and there weren't two Dodo Birds who could fight together. It was better to just wait here honestly. Once enough people were dead and a meeting was called, as long as there were no peepers, winning the game was easy.
He had no idea how long he crouched in the Fog Tunnel before the alarm finally sounded.
First, check how many people were dead.
A sixteen-player lobby—at a glance, six were already gone.
"This is when you muddy the waters. Don't say much—just say you were doing tasks. Don't talk too much or expose information, otherwise people will get suspicious."
At this moment, Xiao Zao and Mastor were accusing each other.
The situation instantly became chaotic.
When it was Lin Fan's turn to speak, he simply tried to distance himself.
"I went solo the whole time doing tasks. I'm a solo-walk card. I also know you guys were grouped up and not doing tasks. I've done about seven or eight tasks already."
The moment he said this, it drew everyone's attention.
"So many people have died this round—we definitely need to vote someone from the outer seats. Lin 'Big Hammer' doesn't look good to me. He says he went solo and did tasks the whole time, but the task progress hasn't changed much. Knife-carrying good roles should keep an eye on him. But for this round, I think we choose between Longcheng Jingshao and zzz. Let's vote Longcheng Jingshao first."
Under Shenchao's vote call, Lin Fan wasn't the primary target yet.
Shenchao was one of the few who actually used his brain while playing. Unlike the others, he didn't let personal grudges influence him, so his analysis was fairly solid.
He didn't immediately paint Lin Fan as a Wolf.
"Alright, step one is done. Our identity doesn't look good in their eyes. Step two—keep hiding."
Running away was shameful, but effective.
He stayed in the Fog Tunnel for another minute before the alarm sounded again.
Once again, the first thing was to check who was left alive.
Then the vote leader turned out to be Xiao Zao.
This game was basically decided.
"It's over. I'm sure Xiao Zao is a good guy. If he's a good guy, he won't be able to clearly read the situation. Dodo Bird victory."
Lin Fan said confidently.
"???"
"You're looking down on Brother Zao, huh?"
"No way he'll dump dirty water on you. It'll probably be K God."
"I said it in the first round—I'm a solo-walk card, so I'll keep going solo. So many people have died this game, I don't even know what happened. Let the good guys analyze it."
Uzi couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Only Brother Infinite Borders was solo, and then people started dying. Little sis is probably a neutral role. I think the chance she's a Pigeon is pretty high, so I kept sticking close."
"If that's the case, then Brother Infinite Borders definitely killed people. To win, we have to unanimously vote Brother Infinite Borders out."
"Now that there are so few people left, let's just all vote Brother Infinite Borders out first and eliminate one Wolf."
As Uzi wrapped things up, the others immediately voted.
But right then, Letme suddenly said, "Could it be the Dodo Bird?"
Everyone froze for a moment.
But the votes were already cast.
"You guys really voted all of it onto me? That doesn't make sense, right? Since it doesn't make sense, the only thing left is game over."
