Chapter 42 Dark Paradise (20) - Catching the Doctor

Cheng Chuan, who had been listening to this outrageous conversation, began to reflect on himself:

Why is he the most suitable person to do this? Does he seem like someone who likes poop? What did he do to make Wu Yi think that way?

Three questions that make me question the meaning of life.

Hearing these words, Li Mengqi looked at the three of them in shock and asked weakly, "You guys... aren't new players, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Shu and the other two all looked at her simultaneously.

The three Pi members have the same expression: Do we look like new players, or do we look too much like them?

Holy crap, no way? Li Mengqi never doubted that they were new players.

First, their teamwork was so seamless that they didn't seem like newcomers, but rather like seasoned veterans who had been working together for a long time.

Secondly, the fact that they could beg so easily in public is something that only veteran players driven crazy by games would do; newcomers don't have that advanced mindset.

As a result, they told themselves they were new players?

This veteran player has been following three newbies around like a puppy these past few days? How can she face anyone if word gets out?

Seeing Li Mengqi's bewildered expression, Wu Yi asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with us being new players?"

He paused for a moment, then felt as if he had figured something out, and said with dissatisfaction, "Sister Meng, you don't mean you're looking down on us, do you?"

Li Mengqi quickly withdrew her exaggerated expression and tried to argue:

"No, I didn't. I was just amazed by how well you guys performed. You didn't seem like new players at all."

Wu Yi was pleased to be praised and immediately accepted the explanation, replying, "Of course, with my brother Chuan and sister Ning around, I have nothing to fear."

Ning Shu, who was originally marveling at Wu Yi's simple-mindedness, suddenly got goosebumps all over when she was called "sister" for no reason.

Wu Yi seems to be older than both her and Cheng Chuan, so why are they calling him "brother" and "sister"? I'm speechless.

Ning Shu couldn't help but chuckle when she thought of Li Mengqi's expression earlier. So, the other party thought they were veteran players.

If they had known from the beginning that they were new players, they probably would have run away immediately.

Cheng Chuan didn't react much to Li Mengqi and Wu Yi's performance; he was still struggling with the three questions about life.

Ning Shu returned to the previous question: "Sister Meng, why did you suddenly ask us if we were new players? Our chat didn't mention that, did it?"

Ning Shu guessed that their conversation might have triggered a blind spot in their game knowledge that they were unaware of, which led Li Mengqi to discover the clues.

Seeing that they weren't dwelling on her earlier rudeness, Li Mengqi was relieved to be able to change the subject and hurriedly explained:

"From your conversation, it seems like you don't know some basic things about this game. Usually, only new players are like that."

Ning Shu: "What common sense?"

Li Mengqi: "If you get injured in a dungeon, as long as you have enough breath to leave the dungeon, you will recover to your original state after leaving, and there will be no wounds or anything like that."

So that's how it is. This dog game does have some conscience after all.

This was indeed a blind spot for all three of them.

After all, this was only their second instance, and they had never tried leaving an instance while injured, so naturally they couldn't detect it.

Ning Shu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "I finally understand why those players rushed to leave the dungeon as soon as the roller coaster project was over, and stayed here to exploit the bug to extend their lives."

Not to mention Ning Shu, others had obviously thought of this as well, except for Wu Yi, of course.

However, Wu Yi wasn't too stupid. Although he couldn't connect it to what Li Mengqi had said before, he knew one thing—they didn't need to pick out the intestines anymore.

Cheng Chuan was equally happy; he no longer had to ponder the three fundamental questions of life.

Not to mention whether he would actually need to "poop" if such a situation were to occur.

After we've finished discussing the trivial matters, it's time to talk about the meaningful ones.

Everyone offered suggestions on how to get the doctor, and after hearing everyone's advice, they were ranked according to the probability of success.

Everyone agreed that Ning Shu's plan should be prioritized, as it has a higher chance of success.

Li Mengqi couldn't help but praise, "Ning Shu, you're quite clever."

Ning Shu: "How could that be? I'm just an ordinary person."

There are so many smart people in this world, and surely someone has thought of and practiced all the methods I use; we just don't know it.

Now we'll try them one by one. If one method doesn't work, we'll try another. Eventually, one of them will work.

Li Mengqi admired Ning Shu after hearing this, and even thought how wonderful it would be if she could join such a team.

It was evening again, time to prepare for the park's opening. The four of them split up and hid at the park entrance two hours in advance.

They each hid in a corner where they could see others, but others couldn't see them.

The four people, with eight eyes, kept a close eye on everyone entering the amusement park, regardless of gender or age, with their target being those wearing doctor's badges.

This was Ning Shu's idea. She discovered that after the park closed, the staff left one after another from the entrance, or rather, from the exit next to the entrance.

She actually discovered it the next day.

In order to get a map, she waited at the entrance for an hour in advance, and then she saw the staff in work uniforms enter the park.

They have to wear name tags as proof of entry before entering the park.

Ning Shu found it strange at the time that they weren't provided with a changing room so they could change into their work clothes after entering the park.

As for the entry pass, it's even simpler; you can just swipe your card or use facial recognition.

Ning Shu now feels that this rule is a godsend for players.

Fearing that their actions today might have been tested beforehand, they laid an ambush two hours in advance to prevent their target from becoming alert.

Finally, after an hour of being fed mosquitoes—yes, there were actually mosquitoes in this game!—Ning Shu had already cursed the game to death in her mind countless times.

They finally discovered the suspicious person.

The man was tall and thin, and he kept looking around furtively as he approached the entrance.

Presumably thinking there was nothing unusual, he then secretly took out his employee badge from his pocket and carefully pinned it to his left breast.

Once the test was passed, the man immediately wanted to disappear into the woods.

The situation was critical, and Ning Shu and the others had no time to think. They were determined to kill the wrong person and didn't let him go. The four of them rushed forward from the front and back and pinned the person to the ground.

Wu Yi and Cheng Chuan's long legs were well-deserved; they quickly and accurately grabbed the person.

To prevent the other party from shouting, Cheng Chuan had already prepared clothes to gag them.

With his previous robbery experience, he felt he was becoming more and more skilled at this job.

Ning Shu and Li Mengqi arrived shortly after, and first squatted down to check the other party's work badge.

The employee badge had the words "Adversity Game: Dark Paradise" written at the top, followed by the employee's name, department, and position.

When Ning Shu saw that the department name was "General Practice" and the title was "Director", he knew he had found the right person.

Ning Shu glanced around and noticed that there were other tourists staring at them at the entrance, seemingly not understanding what was going on.

"Take him away from here first."

What if some of the tourists know about this and try to steal it from us?
