Chapter 21 The Red Brick Factory (20) - Escape

"Alright, Wu Yi, go tie those two ropes together securely, and then tie one end to that hook."

Ning Shu, go find a place to hook the rope, hang it up, and then the two of us will climb up.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yi did a somersault: "That's a great idea! Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Is this my fault? You wouldn't give up until I told you to try your stupid method.

Cheng Chuan remained silent.

Wu Yi tied the two ropes that had previously bound him and Cheng Chuan together, attaching a hook to one end. Although the ropes were less than three stories high, they were long enough for climbing.

Ning Shuxian climbed out of the broken glass opening, found a recessed structure, hung the hook on it, and even pulled hard a few times to see if it could be secured.

Once she thought it was okay, she threw the other end of the rope into the factory through the broken glass.

Suddenly she paused, staring at the rope that was in contact with the broken glass. In her mind, she saw the scene of Cheng Chuan and the others climbing, the rope being cut by the glass, and then falling and being smashed into pieces.

She quickly shouted down through the glass opening, "Don't come up yet, wait for my command!"

Seeing the rope dangling down, Cheng Chuan, who was about to move, stopped and looked up, wanting to know what was going on.

But then they saw that Ning Shu seemed to have taken off his shirt and was using it to wrap the section of rope that connected to the glass, and even tied a knot in it.

He instantly understood what Ning Shu was doing, and felt a chill run down his spine. Even if this step was taken, it wasn't necessarily safe; it was better to have it than not.

Wu Yi seemed to understand as well: "Girls are always more thoughtful."

After Ning Shu finished, she called out to those below, "You can come up now!"

Wu Yi and Cheng Chuan formed a human pyramid. He let Cheng Chuan climb up first, which was actually quite dangerous, since if he fell, he might get hurt.

Wu Yi and Ning Shu stared at Cheng Chuan from above and below, their hearts filled with even more tension than Cheng Chuan himself.

Ning Shu thought Cheng Chuan wouldn't be able to climb up by himself, since climbing ropes in mid-air is too difficult and requires too much arm strength. Unexpectedly, Cheng Chuan actually managed to climb up.

Ning Shu mentally gave Cheng Chuan a thumbs up. Her old classmate had given her quite a few surprises; no wonder he was the person she had a crush on.

With Cheng Chuan demonstrating for him, Wu Yi simply took a running start and jumped to grab the rope, and the three of them successfully climbed out.

This factory is quite amazing; its exterior walls are also brick red, and their current location is only one floor above the ground.

The sun was shining brightly outside the factory, which was surrounded by dense forest.

"Let's go down first." Cheng Chuan felt it was not a good place to stay, and the three of them helped each other leave the factory.

As Ning Shu's foot touched the ground, she heard a "ding" sound.

Congratulations on passing the "Red Brick Factory" trial dungeon and becoming a full-fledged player of "Adversity Game"! Please enter your game nickname.

Ning Shu was dumbfounded. What the heck? What game?

She immediately saw a semi-transparent, blue-glowing panel appear in front of her, displaying the message: Please enter your game nickname.

She went to check on Cheng Chuan and the others immediately, but they were gone. Looking around, the factory behind her was gone, and the dense forest in front of her was gone too. She was all alone in the world.

She had no one to consult with, so she could only do as the mechanical voice demanded.

Regarding the input of her game nickname, she thought of herself as short and with a round, easily bullied face.

She didn't know what use this nickname would be to her in the future, but felt she needed to project a tall and mighty image to the outside world.

So I entered the domineering yet lewd nickname "Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet".

She felt that this nickname, with its double buff, would surely keep those petty people at bay.

Of course, this was just her imagination.

Please confirm your nickname; it cannot be changed after confirmation.

Ning Shu clicked to confirm.

The talent skill you have acquired this time is: Sky-Splitting Strike.

[Talent Skill Description: Who can resist the temptation of killing monsters with bare hands? But such a great talent skill also has side effects.]

Players will gradually experience the side effects through future use; however, these minor flaws do not outweigh the overall merits, making this talent skill well worth having!

Is this crappy talent skill even worth having?

The name sounds imposing, but it's actually lewd, and it even has the side effect of feeling like you're rubbing poop. Whoever wants to use it can use it!

Your contribution to clearing this dungeon ranks 1st. You receive 10 points.

[Please select the reward item you need: 1. Rope for binding people; 2. Sharp blade; 3. Rusty hook]

She had no idea whether the points were a lot or a little, so she didn't care for now.

Ning Shu remained silent as she looked at these so-called props.

Is "a rope for tying people up" supposed to be an introduction? What else can a rope be used for if not to tie people up, like packing them up?

And what right does a "rusty hook" have to be a reward item?! This level of perfunctoriness is off the charts.

Ning Shu clicked on the corresponding text, wondering if any related explanation would pop up.

But nothing appeared; instead, a prompt appeared asking her to confirm her selection.

She turned off the prompt, reselected "sharp blade," and finally confirmed.

She didn't know what the other two options were for. A knife, at least, could be used to cut vegetables, right?

【Do you want to select this item as a personal item?】 Ning Shu clicked "No", and then there was another "ding" sound in her ear.

Player information is displayed as follows:

[Player nickname: Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet]

[Talent Skill: Sky-Splitting Strike]

[Points: 10]

[Game Level: L1]

[Overall Ability: C1]

【Personal Items: None】

[Warehouse Items: 1. Sharp Blade (3001)]

[Player information displayed. To learn more about the game, please click the "More" button on the panel. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!]

You have to click "More" to learn more, and there are many unclear parts of the information displayed.

Ning Shu couldn't wait to click to read.

After carefully reading the entire book, Ning Shu summarized the following conclusions:

First, each player's nickname is unique.

Therefore, if there are duplicate names, various suffixes will likely be added or the name will be forcibly changed to be unique.

Second, there should be no upper limit to the value of the points.

The points rewarded for each dungeon are different. These points can be used to buy things in the shop on the panel, but she doesn't know what to buy yet.

Third, it doesn't specify what "comprehensive ability" does, but it's probably something like a level. However, this raises a question: what's the relationship between game level and comprehensive ability?

Fourth, personal items are items that can be materialized and carried around for use, but how exactly they are used is still unknown.

Fifth, warehouse items are items other than personal items. You can have many of them, but if they are not used as personal items, they will just sit in the panel list.

That's all Ning Shuneng has been able to summarize. There may be other information that she doesn't know yet.
