Chapter 388 Players' Counterattack (3) - Deceiving Lei Tao
Everyone present understood Ning Shu's meaning: they must report the facts truthfully and not try to mix in personal grudges.
"After you've finished collecting the information, organize the list according to this format. I'll ask you for it before I leave."
After Ning Shu finished speaking, she sent a template to the group, and everyone opened it and took a look.
After finishing their business, Ning Shu called Zai Fumeng aside: "Xiao Meng, your brother is back too. You can send him a message, but don't chat for too long. We're short on time."
Zaifu Meng was so excited that she didn't expect her brother Ji Shi to actually come back that she readily agreed.
Ning Shu was about to leave after speaking when Wen Fei came over and asked about Ji Shi. Ning Shu told him to go find Zai Fu Meng.
She suddenly had a good idea and went to Li Mengqi: "Sister Meng, may I borrow Zhige?"
Li Mengqi knew what she wanted to do and readily agreed, then beckoned to Zhige: "Xiaoge, I'll have to trouble you to help Xiaoning."
Zhi Ge seemed to listen to Li Mengqi, nodding and agreeing quickly: "Don't worry, Sister Meng, I will do my best."
Li Mengqi patted Zhige's head, then turned to Ning Shu and said, "Zhige is very capable, but you can't overdraw your abilities indefinitely. He brought so many of us back just now, so keep an eye on him."
Ning Shu looked at Zhi Ge and felt that the other person seemed a bit young: "Don't worry, I will."
After saying that, he said to Zhige, "You just used your skill, so rest well first. I'll go do a dungeon run and be right back."
Although Zhige is young, he has experienced some dungeons and knows that no matter how long the dungeon takes, it will take Ning Shu at least 3 days to return. Ning Shu's statement that he will "come back soon" seems somewhat imprecise.
Ke Ningshu has already communicated with An Ran, and no matter which instance she enters, the time she leaves will be shortened.
Ning Shu purchased a Reverse Flow Card and directly entered the Dark Paradise dungeon—a dungeon with Lei Tao.
She planned to ambush the other party at their hideout. Based on her understanding of Lei Tao, the other party generally wouldn't move unless something happened that threatened them.
She found Lei Tao's hideout with practiced ease, but she wasn't there. She guessed that Lei Tao was either out swindling someone or had been swindled herself.
The amusement park didn't have many attractions, but it was quite large. Not wanting to search for something like a needle in a haystack, she simply waited near her hideout.
After waiting for two hours, Ning Shu was getting impatient. Just as she was thinking about whether she should go out and look for something more suitable, she saw a familiar figure in the distance.
Lei Tao!
Ning Shu got excited and ran to the middle of the path, shouting Lei Tao's name.
Lei Tao was a bit listless today. She had a bad start and didn't manage to score many points, but then she heard someone shouting her name from ahead.
Looking up, I saw a girl in the distance with her hands on her hips, yelling at me with great enthusiasm.
Someone's causing trouble!
Lei Tao's first reaction was to run! She quickly turned around and "ran away".
Watching the other person suddenly turn around and run away, Ning Shu's smile froze on her face. She didn't know what had gotten into them, so she could only run after them.
I finally caught up with the person, and I almost died.
Ning Shu grabbed Lei Tao's arm, panting, and asked, "Why are you running?"
Lei Tao turned around and saw that it was an old acquaintance. She hadn't seen him clearly because he was too far away, which had startled her.
"It's you! What brings you back? Are you short on points again?"
What, do you think I'm the kind of person who only comes to her when I'm short on points?
Ning Shu was indignant, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that she might actually be that kind of person.
Well, ignoring such minor details, she looked Lei Tao up and down. Hmm, she wasn't injured, just a little thinner.
"Didn't you eat enough? You've lost so much weight," Ning Shu asked with concern.
Lei Tao sighed: "There are too many skilled players coming to this dungeon lately, so there's no chance to earn points. What are you doing here?"
Listen to that tone; she must really despise herself.
Ning Shu was speechless. Thinking that this guy couldn't be persuaded without points, he suggested, "I need your help with something. I'll give you 10,000 points. Are you in?"
"Dry!"
Lei Tao's mouth moved faster than her brain. She only heard about 10,000 points, but regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth. "Wait a minute, tell me what kind of help you did first."
I can't agree to anything that involves my life. I'm not that close to them, and no one's life is more important than my own.
"I want you to leave here and come with me to the safe zone to take care of some business."
"I won't do it."
Lei Tao decisively rejected Ning Shu, who roared, "Why!"
Lei Tao remained calm and composed: "Forget about leaving this instance."
Ning Shu remained silent. As the saying goes, "money makes the world go round." For someone like Lei Tao who lacks points, as long as the price is agreed upon, principles don't matter.
"How about 20,000 points?"
Lei Tao remained unmoved.
"30,000? After all, with your current abilities, who knows how long it would take you to earn that much?"
Don't worry, I'll be with you the whole time, and I guarantee that even if you get pulled into other dungeons, you'll come out alive.
After it's all over, you can come back and lie down with all these points, isn't that great?
Lei Tao was persuaded by Ning Shu. She only had a dozen points, and 30,000 was indeed an astronomical figure for her. It would be a pity to miss it.
As the saying goes, "high returns come with high risks," so what Ning Shu wants her to do is probably very dangerous.
Lei Tao asked uncertainly, "Is it dangerous?"
Ning Shu patted his chest and assured him, "It's not dangerous."
Lei Tao pulled out her "figurine": "Swear it!"
Ning Shu: "..."
In the end, a consensus was reached based on Ning Shu's vow. Lei Tao was worried that Ning Shu wouldn't be able to come up with that many points, but Ning Shu just chuckled.
She could give her 3 million points, let alone 30,000. Moreover, once she leaves the game, those points will be meaningless, and she will be the one getting something for nothing.
Lei Tao would only leave the instance with Ning Shu after receiving points, so Ning Shu took out a special communicator and contacted An Ran, asking him to send her the points.
Before long, Ning Shu received 1 million points in her account. Hmph, she's a big spender now!
After transferring the promised points to Lei Tao, I asked her about her location. Lei Tao had been away from the safe zone for so long that she had no idea where she was.
Ning Shu could only ask her to confirm her location after she left, and then send her a message so she could pick her up.
Lei Tao felt that Ning Shu's service attitude was very good, and she was very satisfied with the transaction.
As the system notification faded, Ning Shu returned to Li Mengqi's dormitory.
Zhige was surprised that Ning Shu returned so quickly; just as she had said, she was "coming back soon."
Ning Shu asked Zhi Ge about her physical condition: "Can you use the skill again now? Just twice."
Zhi Ge hesitated before asking, "How many people need to be moved?"
"Including you, there are 3 of you."
"No problem."
There were no notification sounds on the panel, so Ning Shude checked the chat box from time to time. After discovering that Lei Tao had finally left him a message, he quickly asked Zhige to go to the location Lei Tao had indicated.
