Chapter 322 Escape Plan (2) - Going to see Zaifu Meng

Si Zhong woke up in reality, and the game pod opened its door after sensing his awakening.

Si Zhong sat up and left the game pod after a while.

Si Zhong's assistant walked over, and Si Zhong glanced at him: "Why did you wake me up in such a hurry? What's the matter?"

In truth, Si Zhong was thinking: You'd better be in trouble!

Sensing Si Zhong's displeasure, the assistant forced a reply: "Mr. Si, Mr. Si has something to discuss with you."

Is his brother looking for him?

Si Zhong didn't say anything, but first had someone slow down the game time.

He didn't want to wait until he went back and several years had passed in the game, by which time someone might have completely forgotten him.

After tidying his clothes, Si Zhong left the game area with his assistant...

Si Zhong received the message while waiting for Ning Shu to complete a side quest.

Time in the game flows at a different rate than real time, so he wasn't in a hurry to leave immediately.

But he was thinking about the best time to leave, since he couldn't just disappear from the instance for no reason; he had to finish what he started to make sense.

Just as he was struggling with this decision, Ning Shu returned.

When he saw the wand in her hand, he felt something was strange about it, and an indescribable feeling lingered in his heart.

While Ning Shu wasn't paying attention, he used his in-game currency to ask the system for instructions on how to use the magic wand.

After learning the consequences of Ning Shu using the wand, he understood when was the best time to leave.

Worried that he wouldn't be able to protect her after he left, he put the ear cartilage clip and drawing mouse on the trading platform while she was taking a shower, setting the price at 1 point.

According to the system rules, as long as an item is placed on the trading platform, it will not disappear even if the item dies in the dungeon, even if it has not been renamed.

Once she leaves the instance, she will be able to obtain the two items, and he believes she won't be foolish enough to refuse.

In order for Ning Shu to pass the test smoothly, the person who activates the sealing magic must be Ning Shu. So he first cooperated with Ning Shu's plan so that she could successfully activate the magic circle.

At the final sealing moment, he took over Ning Shu's magic circle.

They tied one end of the chain to the velociraptor and the other end to Ning Shu, making the former run quickly to take the latter away from the magic circle's range.

Si Zhong, who had just received the magic circle, could clearly feel the wand constantly draining his magic power, but it was still not enough to seal the dragon.

His body began to be enveloped in blue-purple flames. Knowing he couldn't hold out much longer, and seeing that Ning Shu had been taken away from the magic circle, he launched a full-force attack.

The dragon began to petrify, and his consciousness gradually faded... Finally, he woke up in the game pod.

After thinking it over, Ning Shu decided that she could go to Zai Fumeng's place before Si Zhong was found, since it was very close to Safe Zone 4.

She finally made it out of the western buffer zone and waited for her ride at the roadside stop for the Jifeng car fleet. After getting in the car, she sent a message to Zaifu Meng.

[Loach Who Loves to Eat Tigers: Little Meng, are you home? I just happened to be passing through safe zone 4 and wanted to check on you.]

[Adorable: Sister, I'm home! You finally came to see me!]

[The mudfish who loves to eat tigers: Where do you live? Tell me your address, and I'll go there.]

[Cute! We're in Myth Residential Complex, Building 1, Room 303. Just ask for directions once you're inside; it's easy to find.]

[Loach Who Loves to Eat Tigers: Is your brother home? I wonder if he'd welcome me.]

[Adorable: My brother's not here, he's on a mission. He'll definitely welcome his sister!]

Ning Shu looked at the last sentence and couldn't help but chuckle to herself, thinking that Zai Fumeng didn't understand her brother at all; he wouldn't welcome her.

But she's determined to go this time, regardless of whether he welcomes her or not.

Zai Fumeng picked up Ning Shu downstairs. After they met, Zai Fumeng gave Ning Shu a big hug.

The enthusiastic "welcome" almost knocked Ning Shu to the ground.

"Sister, I missed you so much!" Zai Fumeng said softly.

Ning Shu smiled and said, "I missed you too. I'm going to stay here for a while. Can you take me to rent a place near your house?"

Zai Fumeng frowned and said, "Why rent a house? Just come and stay at my place. You can sleep with me; my bed is huge!"

Ning Shu didn't refuse at all: "Then thank you in advance."

Zai Fumeng took Ning Shu home, and Ning Shu found that her home was not very big, just a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, but it was quite clean.

Zai Fumeng led Ning Shu to her room: "Sister, you'll stay here with me."

Ning Shu sat down on the bed without ceremony: "What kind of mission does your brother do? Why do I always hear you mention him doing missions?"

She remembered that Zai Fumeng had said that Ji Shi often did tasks to earn points.

Ji Shi doesn't seem to enjoy running dungeons much, which means he gets a lot of points from the tasks he completes; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned so much.

She was really curious about what kind of tasks Ji Shi had.

Zai Fumeng still knew nothing: "I don't know, he never tells me."

Ning Shu was unsurprised by the same excuse: "Are there only two of you staying here? Where do the other teammates stay?"

Zai Fumeng: "They all live in this community, but in different rooms."

Ning Shu suddenly realized something: "Could they have all gone out on a mission together?"

Zai Fumeng nodded: "Yes, except for me, my brother took them all away."

Ning Shu said "Oh," and then added, "I'm so tired, can I take a shower?"

Zaifu Meng: "Of course, the bathroom is over there."

After Ning Shu finished showering, she became very curious about Ji Shi's situation, so she opened the item trading platform from before, where she could still find her and Feng Sheng's transaction records.

She clicked on Feng Sheng's account and sent him a friend request, noting who she was before sending it.

Feng Sheng quickly accepted the friend request and sent a message.

[Phoenix Voice: What's up?]

[Loach Who Loves to Eat Tigers: I have a question. Do you know any way to earn high scores without running dungeons?]

[Feng Sheng: There are many ways to do this. For example, you can go to the bounty board in each safe zone to accept missions, and you'll receive points as a reward after completing them.]

[Loach Who Loves to Eat Tigers: Is it possible to earn hundreds of thousands of points this way?]

[Feng Sheng: ...Of course not.]

[The mudfish who loves to eat tigers: Then tell me some ways to make money.]

[Feng Sheng: You want to do this kind of mission? Are you out of your mind?]

[The Loach Who Loves to Eat Tigers: Is This Mission Deadly?]

[Feng Sheng: That's right. These high-point missions can only be obtained by accepting certain special missions, which usually require venturing into unknown areas.]

Unknown area?

[The Mudfish Who Loves to Eat Tigers: Are only missions in unknown areas worth that many points?]

[Feng Sheng: Of course not, but these kinds of missions usually come from unknown areas.]
