**Four People Unable to Do Anything** (寸步难行四人组, *Cùnbù Nánxíng Sì Rén Zǔ*) is the 31st episode of *The Legend of Luo Xiaohei*.

## Description

Xiaohei, Shanxin, Xiaobai and A-Gen watch a player that's bribed a boss to obtain a special item. With his prize, the player turns really strong, and everyone is then killed by him, including Xioahei and his friends. Everyone has to wait 30 minutes to go back to play again. When they do, they sadly appear near another strong player, an elfin player called Longyan, who can turn into a giant beast. Longyan attacks the group, killing everyone once again.

## Plot

The player who paid the boss is happy that he got the boss’ special item. Shanxin mentions that he paid without even knowing what the item was. Then, all the other players realize that they can simply rob the player, since he’s weaker than the boss. Since the death mechanics likely drop all items, the likeness of fighting is high. However, the player that was attacked by everyone doesn’t die. Instead, he defeats everyone and turns really strong. He notices Xiaohei, Shanxin, Xiaobai and A-Gen watching him behind some trees, and attacks them immediately. Everyone runs away, but the player manages to catch and kill everyone.

In the real world, A-Gen is surprised they lost the fight. Their magic attacks were weaker than before. Now they have to wait another thirty minutes, so they take the chance to look for information online. Shanxin learns that the game administrators have chosen to to interfere with the player who’s bribed a boss, since it is also part of the gameplay, but the boss won’t have a chance to turn into a boss again. She also learns that some players have reached level 50 already, creating a big game imbalance.

Grandpa calls everyone to eat meal. Everyone sits around in the table, but the kids can’t stop talking about the game, which the grandpa doesn’t really understand. Shanxin tells them that every level requires an amount of experience points (XP) equal to the level number. For example, level 3 requires three XP points, level 4 four XP points, and so on. However, because most experience is get from defeating other players, leveling up is difficult. You get 30% of your opponent’s total experience points, with 1 XP as the bottom line. At level 10 you get the ability “eye of experience”, and can see other people’s levels. Shanxin is worried about the level gap, and thinks that the level 50 players have killed the equivalent of 1000 players already. She thinks they might have obtained high level weapons or skills to do so. The player level will be distributed in a pyramid form, with the strongest at the top, without any balance.

After eating, Shanxin explains to the group some of the gameplay modes that have been summarized: they are “battle of nations”, “building operations”, “scenery sightseeing”, and “hunt or be hunted”. After that, everyone gets into the game again. This time, Xiaohei chooses to play as a human, which will give him more control over his magic attacks.

They appear in a town filled with players and stores. However, before they can take a single step, the town is destroyed by a powerful magic attack. They miraculously survive, and see that a big monster is fighting another player near them. The player is fast and skilled, but ends up being defeated by the monster. Then, the monster turns back into a regular player. He was an elfin player called Longyan. A-Gen and Xioahei get nervous when they see him. Longyan notices the group, and again, immediately attacks them. Longyan attacks them with black spears, and although Xioahei tries to use his spatial powers to block them, everyone dies once again after a few seconds. In the real world, Shanxin gets fired up, and Xiaobai laughs. Shanxin tells her that she has to return home, and Xiaobai says that the next day they’ll have to do a task of Xiaohei.
