Chapter 117 Digital Cruise (Thirty)
It was already night.
Ning Suisui reminded everyone that the NPCs on the first floor might all be human NPCs, and those on the second floor and above were all sea monsters. Therefore, although the rules stated that "Guests on the first floor please protect themselves", everyone still chose to stay on the first floor.
Because of killing Gu Zailai, the players’ numbers were enough to afford the first floor room fee—25 points on average.
You don't need to ask to know that the reason why these rooms are so old, dilapidated and small, but so expensive, is still because Ronghua's room fee is borne by them.
When Ning Suisui came out, a dozen people had just paid their room fees and were going back to their rooms to rest. They met Ning Suisui at this time, and the leader smiled and greeted: "Captain Ning, are you going to pay the room fee?"
After a joint fight, everyone was dealing with a small BOSS like Gu Zailai, and they actually killed him.
How many people have never experienced the joy of killing NPCs in a level 5 dungeon? There is strength in numbers!
At this time, everyone had the best relationship and there was no distinction between unions or groups. When they took action, there were so many people that they wanted to move together.
The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about being backstabbed by your own people. Isn’t that awesome?!
Seeing Ning Suisui at this time, a dozen players were all equally happy.
Ning Suisui couldn't help but reveal a sincere smile.
"The rent has been paid."
"Oh, so they're going to eat? Lao Zhou and the others are also going to eat, you guys..."
"We found clues about the captain's daughter." Ning Suisui said calmly.
Everyone was stunned.
Liu Guangming's idea of "I found a clue and I want to keep it for myself" is the most mainstream idea. After all, the dungeon rewards are linked to the dungeon performance. Sometimes there will be such "exclusive" players in small groups. However, Ning Suisui directly told them the clues they knew.
The leader was the first to react. He asked ambiguously, "So are we going directly to find the captain's daughter now?"
"No rush, we'll all go together."
Ning Suisui said this and did this.
Sixty-nine people, even lone players were not forgotten, and they marched towards the room discovered by Liu Guangming's team members.
Many people along the way were equally stunned and confused when they first learned about this clue. The expressions they looked at Liu Guangming and Ning Suisui were as if they saw a second Ronghua who had not changed. When they arrived at the door of the NPC room, the team of 69 people was surprisingly quiet.
The light in the NPC's room came on, and Ning Suisui walked up and knocked on the door.
A slightly hoarse female voice came from the door.
"who?"
"Hello, is this Zhang Min? I'm a guest on the cruise ship."
The next second, the door opened.
A skinny woman who had nothing to do with the image of the "captain's daughter" that everyone imagined appeared in front of everyone.
She was wearing a gray work suit, her apron was so dirty that it was hard to tell her age, and she had messy, unkempt short hair. She was the image of an NPC that could be seen everywhere on the first floor.
Zhang Min's gaze peeked out from between her messy bangs. She glanced at her up and down with a cold expression.
"You guys searched my room today?"
Ning Suisui was stunned. She knew she couldn't lie at this time, so she apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, Ms. Zhang, we have no choice. Captain... the monster octopus on the fifth floor is too powerful. We urgently need some trustworthy partners, so we have to resort to this desperate measure."
Zhang Min didn't say anything. She just smiled sarcastically and moved aside to make way for one person to pass.
"Cooperation? Come in and talk about it."
After saying that, she glanced at the people behind Ning Sui Sui who were eager to squeeze into the room, and stopped them coldly: "One is enough."
Ning Suisui gestured to everyone to stay calm and walked into the house very decisively.
The door closed in front of everyone.
Inside the room, Zhang Min leaned against the door with her arms crossed.
"What do you want to cooperate with me on?"
Ning Suisui thought for a moment and said, "We have someone here named Sun Ting..."
She stared at Zhang Min's expression and saw that although Zhang Min's expression did not change, her demeanor seemed to ease a little. Obviously, she was the one who saved Sun Ting.
Sun Ting has already triggered the special NPC's plot. Although she doesn't know why Ronghua hasn't responded yet, and doesn't seize such a good opportunity to build a good relationship with the key NPC to pass the dungeon, Ning Suisui strikes while the iron is hot: "Thank you for saving her."
Zhang Min is willing to save Sun Ting, so it is obvious that she is not a bad NPC, and the safety of cooperation is higher.
After Ning Suisui said that, Zhang Min felt that the "guest" in front of her didn't seem so annoying anymore.
"I don't know any Sun Ting." Zhang Min didn't think she was annoying, and she didn't want to get close to her, so she quickly brushed it off, "What do you want to cooperate with me on?"
Ning Sui Sui asked: "I wonder if I can first understand the origin of the Abraham Cruise... and I see that the overall facilities of the cruise ship are obviously a very normal cruise ship, why is it occupied by those monsters?"
When she asked, Zhang Min's expression darkened.
"The Abraham Cruise was my grandfather's private cruise ship. My father repainted it and hired a large group of people to look for the famous ocean treasure. The cruise ship sailed on the sea for three months and still found nothing. But he found... several octopuses entangled in fishing nets."
Those octopuses were not like ordinary octopuses. They seemed to have the ability to think and kept waving and bowing to the boat. People who have been dealing with the ocean for many years firmly believe that these creatures are like goldfish caught by fishermen, and will bring luck and blessings to kind-hearted people.
He rescued the octopuses himself and sent them back to the ocean.
Soon, just like the goldfish in the novel that would reward people, the octopus that returned to the ocean brought back a huge giant octopus that could speak human words.
The octopus looks polite.
"Dear Captain, I am very grateful for saving my subordinates. I came here to ask what kind of reward you need?"
The honest and simple captain had been drifting blindly on the sea for three months in search of the illusory ocean treasure, but at this moment he still remembered the fate of greedy humans.
"Mr. Octopus, I don't need any reward. If I have to say... I just want my daughter to be healthy and happy for the rest of her life."
The octopus looked at him with its huge eyes, and finally said nothing. It shook its tentacles and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The next day it surfaced with a box of antiques, but the captain still refused.
But the octopus smiled.
"In addition to the captain, I also want to reward the many brave and fearless sailors on the ship and thank them for sending the kind captain to the ocean."
It said this in front of countless crew members, most of whom were hired temporarily. When they heard the octopus's words, they immediately cheered.
Without waiting for the captain to refuse again, the octopus raised its tentacles, and countless precious antiques scattered on the deck like rain, immediately causing countless crew members to scramble for them.
The captain hurried to maintain order. From the corner of his eye he saw the hill-like octopus tilt its head like a human watching a show, then stretch out its tentacles, wave them, and sink to the bottom of the sea.
The next day it came again.
This time it was countless jewels and silks.
Priceless pink pearls the size of a baby's fist were sandwiched inside, like bubbles of unreal beauty, and were still given to all the crew members as gifts.
The captain had realized something was wrong.
The gifts from the ocean are so abundant that they make people feel terrified.
He ordered his trusted men to maintain order and wait for the octopus to come again on the third day.
