Chapter 220 Many Boxes, Gaining Trust

Ji Xinghan shook off the girl and took several steps back warily: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Behind them, the sound of clattering footsteps came, and a group of people rushed up the hillside, where they saw Ji Xinghan and the girl.

The leader was taken aback: "Huh? It's you!"

Ji Xinghan recognized him immediately – Zhang Kuang, also from the original District 89. A few days ago, Ji Xinghan used a cross-district card to get to District 89. He first released Chu Feifei, and then followed Chu Feifei to rescue Qi Xiangxiang. It was then that he saw Zhang Kuang.

That time, Zhang Kuang also led a large group of people to besiege Qi Xiangxiang.

Looking closer now... hmm, it's still the same group of people!

Zhang Kuang raised his hand and shouted, "Brothers, this one's tough to kill. We... wait, loot boxes! So many loot boxes! Hahaha, we're rich! Brothers, grab the loot boxes first!"

Ji Xinghan: !!!

She glared at the girl resentfully: "Look what you've done!"

If the girl hadn't run away, she wouldn't have been able to bring so many people.

Now that Zhang Kuang wants to steal the box, we have no choice but to fight!

Ji Xinghan raised his hand, and the hidden arrow flew out.

The girl rolled up her sleeves, flung out a round, black object, and shouted, "Get out of my way!"

It landed near the box, and with a "bang," the round thing exploded, causing the two people who had just run to the box to scream in pain, while the others stopped in their tracks in fright.

"Awooo~" Another scream rang out, and "whoosh" a creature resembling a black panther leaped out from the pile of corpses.

The animal was pitch black, with shimmering leopard-skin patterns on its fur. It had round eyes and a body shape like an ordinary black leopard. It was extremely fast, leaping out of the pile of corpses and biting a person who was charging towards it.

"Ah!" the man screamed as his arm was bitten off.

Zhang Kuang was startled: "There's an ambush!"

Ji Xinghan: ...

She was also terrified. Who would have thought that a black panther was sleeping among the pile of corpses, and it didn't seem to mind the smell...

This is bad!

Ji Xinghan stepped back and touched his gas mask. At this moment, the girl covered her mouth and gagged twice before turning around and running far away.

Wangzai and Dingdang also retreated more than ten meters.

Wangzai barked, "Woof woof, it stinks!"

The black panther leaped and kicked over the corpse; no wonder it stank!

Ji Xinghan thought that if the black panther could sleep in a rotting corpse, then it must be abnormal!

It might be carrying a virus!

In a few exchanges, the black panther bit another player.

The black panther smelled terrible; Zhang Kuang and his men vomited repeatedly, making it impossible for them to fight at full strength. They retreated while continuing to fight.

Zhang Kuai glared resentfully at Ji Xinghan, then gritted his teeth: "This place stinks too much, no way, let's leave!"

Ji Xinghan was wearing a mask and couldn't smell anything. She took the opportunity to run to a pile of boxes, waved her hand, and collected the boxes one by one before quickly retreating.

With the black panther drawing her attention, she had much less to worry about.

Zhang Kuang led his men away, with Black Panther in hot pursuit. Ji Xinghan, having grabbed the box, also ran off quickly.

She ran all the way to the next mountain peak, and when she turned around, she saw the girl chasing closely behind, never leaving her side.

Seeing Ji Xinghan turn around, she quickly stopped as well, squinted her eyes, and revealed a bright smile.

The girl was pretty, with a round face, big eyes, and her eyes crinkled when she smiled, making her very cute and easy to like.

Ji Xinghan asked warily, "Didn't you escape danger? Why are you still following me?"

The girl smiled and extended her hand: "Let's get acquainted. My name is Jiang Youyou. Hehe, someone told me to come and find you."

"who?"

"Ji Linglong!"

"What?" Ji Xinghan exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Youyou chuckled: "Yes, Ji Linglong, your sister—no, our sister—said that after the servers merge, she wants me to follow you, protect you, and take care of you..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Ji Xinghan raised his hand. "How can I believe you?"

This is unbelievable. Jiang Youyou is even younger than her. How can she take care of her?

Besides, Jiang Youyou's fighting skills are inferior to hers! How can she protect her?

Ji Xinghan thought about it carefully and remembered that during the Decision Battle, there was a girl who was always in first place in the Blue Team. Later, she obtained 300,000 Decision Stones and then dropped to second place.

That person is Jiang Youyou.

But where did Jiang Youyou get such great abilities?

Jiang Youyou seemed to know what she was thinking and immediately said, "Yes, during the decision-making battle, I was always in first place because Ji Linglong gave me those decision stones. She was afraid that the Blue Team would lose, so she kept giving me decision stones. Of course, in the end, the one who turned the tide was still you!"

Ji Xinghan didn't believe him: "Evidence?"

Jiang Youyou suddenly said out of the blue, "Ji Linglong once had someone bring you a wood carving, did you see it?"

Tiger head wood carving?

That was clearly brought over by the dog.

Jiang Youyou slapped her forehead: "Ah, I forgot, it's not a person, it's a dog!"

"Hehe, that dog was so disobedient. Sister Linglong said she gave it a good beating and cut its fur bald before she finally got it to behave!"

"Did your sister do it?" Ji Xinghan was stunned for a moment.

Indeed, ever since the dog went bald, it has suddenly become much more docile.

It was from that time onwards that it began to follow it steadily.

Is it the older sister?

But how did Jiang Youyou know?

"Are you a beta tester?" Ji Xinghan asked hesitantly.

"No, no, no, how could I be a beta tester?" Jiang Youyou shook her head. "I'm just like you, an ordinary player. I was just chosen by Sister Linglong during the Decision Battle. She told me a lot of things so that I could gain your trust!"

Ji Xinghan, of course, didn't believe it after just a few simple words.

One thing puzzled her: since Ji Linglong had been to District 88 and helped her several times, why did she never show her face?

However, upon closer reflection, she understood.

Because, for Ji Linglong, helping her was against the rules, and she couldn't expose it.

Actually, Ji Wenqiao's parents were never exposed; it was just that she discovered them later.

Seeing that Ji Xinghan had been thinking for a long time without saying a word.

Jiang Youyou said, "Back then, Sister Linglong was a senior beta tester and could come to server 88, but that's not possible now. I don't know which server she was assigned to."

Ji Xinghan felt a pang of sadness. Indeed, all the beta testers had been stripped of their privileges and randomly assigned to different regions. He didn't even know which region Ji Linglong had been assigned to.

They parted ways without even meeting.

Who knows when we'll meet again? There are thousands of servers, and even if there are server merges, the chances of two servers merging together are very slim.

However, did the older sister approach Jiang Youyou because she guessed that District 222 would merge with District 88?

Ji Xinghan looked at Jiang Youyou and believed her words to some extent.

She asked, "What else did Ji Linglong say?"

Jiang Youyou: "I haven't known Sister Linglong for long, so we can't talk too much. She told me a lot about your childhood, mainly to gain your trust. She didn't tell me much else."

Jiang Youyou casually mentioned a few minor matters.

Ji Xinghan trusted her even more because what she mentioned were things that happened between her and her sister when they were young, things that no one else could possibly know.

Jiang Youyou talked for a while, then suddenly slapped her forehead: "Ah, I forgot, we still have important things to do!"
