Chapter 328 Escape Plan (8) - Cooperation Established

When Ning Shu heard Cheng Chuan agree to go with her, she secretly smiled to herself: Finally, it's all settled. Acting is so tiring.

When Ning Shu brought Cheng Chuan to Li Mengqi and the others, they were somewhat surprised.

Li Mengqi went even further, asking directly, "Is he the one you said you wanted to get things done?"

Ning Shu explained, "Of course not, I just happened to run into him after I finished my business."

He was my classmate in real life, and now he's single.

"Sister Meng, would you mind if he came with us? It'll be good for mutual support."

Li Mengqi didn't care and shook hands with Cheng Chuan to welcome him. Wu Yi and Tuya were even less concerned, after all, they had been through it all.

Graffiti frowned and asked a question: "Is he going to live with us?"

Ning Shu replied without hesitation, "Of course."

Graffiti: "How can I possibly fit in there? Am I supposed to share a room with him?"

He understood the principle of first come, first served, and he couldn't let Ning Shu share a room with the other person.

It's impossible for Wu Yi to share a room with the other person, since Wu Yi has been living there for a long time.

Cheng Chuan felt it was too much trouble for them: "I can rent another place to live near you, it's not a big problem."

Ning Shu thought this was a good idea, since she had done the same thing before.

She's only just joined them, and emotionally, she can't compare to her previous self anymore; she can't take the lead now.

Li Mengqi didn't say anything, and that was the final decision.

Cheng Chuan followed Ning Shu back to Safe Zone 1. After settling everything in, Ning Shu received a message from Ji Shi.

[Timer: I accept your previous suggestion. What are your plans for the arrangements?]

[The mudfish who loves to eat tigers: Let's talk when we meet.]

Ji Shi immediately understood Ning Shu's concerns: any messages about leaving the game could not be communicated on the game panel, as it would be easily detected by the game.

This is something that everyone in the "escape group" knows.

[Time Countdown: Shall we arrange a time to meet?]

[The mudfish that loves to eat tigers: You decide the time and place.]

Ji Shi finally made up his mind, mainly for two reasons:

First, he felt that Ning Shu's method did not have any fatal flaws, and it was not as unrealistic as some people thought.

Secondly, Ning Shuzhen did indeed search for someone as she said, and even brought that person to her side.

She does indeed have a few teammates, confirming that she does have a team and seems to be preparing to do something.

He became increasingly convinced that Ning Shu's words were true, so he brought Zai Fumeng directly to find her.

Zai Fumeng was delighted to see Ning Shu. After exchanging a few pleasantries with her, Ning Shu had Tuya take Zai Fumeng sightseeing while she discussed some matters with Ji Shi.

Ning Shu had asked Tuya to help look after a little girl a long time ago.

He loved doing this job, so he nodded in agreement without caring what Ning Shu actually wanted to do.

He's a shrewd person; having been in the game for so long, he naturally knows what questions to ask and what questions not to ask.

Ning Shu brought him out precisely because she liked that aspect of him; it saved her a lot of trouble and she didn't have to make up excuses.

After they left, only Ning Shu and Ji Shi remained.

Ji Shi cut to the chase: "What's your plan?"

Ning Shu: "Let's run dungeons together, first raise our overall ability level to C10, and then run that special dungeon."

We need you to find an item that can bind our two teams together so we can enter the same instance.

Ji Shi: "Who knows about this right now?"

Ning Shu: "It's just the two of us, because we're currently at the highest level."

When we reach C10 and are about to run a special dungeon, we'll tell the next highest-level person this news.

It's safer to pass the message around one by one than to tell everyone directly.

Ji Shi seemed to understand her concerns: "Are you worried that people who can't level up will spread the news?"

Ning Shu nodded: "That's right. Besides the two of us, I think only Sister Meng and Cheng Chuan in my team have a good chance of leaving. I'll let them know when the time comes.

If others who can't advance to higher levels find out, it won't help them at all, except increase their anxiety.

Ji Shi agreed with her, but he needed to confirm one thing: "You're not planning to abandon them because of this, are you?"

He couldn't do it. As long as Zai Fumeng was still in the game, he would find a way to take her out of the game.

Ning Shu shook his head: "Of course not. Those who successfully leave the game need to find a way to come back and rescue people. Someone has to go out first."

This aligned with Ji Shi's thoughts, and he agreed with her plan.

"Okay, I'll find the items as soon as possible and bind them with you. I'll stay in Safe Zone 3 and won't move here."

Anyway, once the items are bound, everyone can enter the same instance no matter where they are.

Ning Shu nodded: "No problem. Since you're here, stay for a couple of days and let me show you some hospitality."

Ji Shi was naturally happy to agree, mainly because he wanted to see if she was reliable; this was a good opportunity.

She found Ji Shi a hotel to stay in and treated them to a meal at Li Mengqi's house.

Ning Shu introduced them to each other, saying that they would be doing dungeons together in the future, and that they should get to know each other.

After Ji Shi found the binding item, the cooperation between the two teams was officially established.

From that day on, they started frequently running dungeons.

Zai Fumeng couldn't quite understand why her older brother had suddenly become so fond of running dungeons, and was even taking her along.

After clearing several dungeons, Ning Shu and Ji Shi both reached C10 in overall ability level, and they prepared to go and farm special dungeons.

That day, the two met again to discuss who to pass the message on to.

Currently, the person with the highest rank on Ning Shu's side is Li Mengqi. Ning Shu is unaware of Ji Shi's side, but Ji Shi has directly chosen his younger sister as the person in the know.

Ning Shu did not comment on this; they were merely partners, and she did not care about Ji Shi's arrangements.

Ning Shu actually wanted to tell Cheng Chuan as well, but after his resurrection, his relationship with Li Mengqi and the others was not as good as before.

After she left, Cheng Chuan found it difficult to "lead" them.

Given that his level is indeed inferior to Li Mengqi's, it would be safer to entrust the task to the latter.

Ning Shu instructed: "Take as many props as you can. We need to hit the target in one strike and not waste any opportunities."

Ji Shi took it very seriously, and he thought so too: "Don't worry, let me know after you've set the time."

Ning Shu found an opportunity to tell Li Mengqi about it.

The other party was indeed greatly shocked and couldn't recover for a long time: "You, you mean, I, we... can leave the game?"

Ning Shu made a "shh" gesture to Li Mengqi: "Keep your voice down, we need to be extra careful."

Ning Shu told the other party about her concerns and asked her to try not to reveal it. If she succeeded, Li Mengqi would be next.

Before leaving, Li Mengqi also wanted to find a suitable person of a higher rank, just like herself, to pass the torch from one person to another.
