Ji Weihang entered the Wish Game to find her missing enemy and resolve a fifty-year-old grudge. She never expected that within the game, she'd accidentally fulfill her childhood dream of saving...
Chapter 114 Yu Yuanzhen
The new street lights shine brightly, and the wide streets are clean and tidy.
Ji Weihang and Bai Jiuyue left the staff dormitory and walked back to the "company".
When the player walked out of the elevator, a badge was quietly placed on her chest. Ji Weihang didn't notice it at the time until they reached a cooperation agreement, when Bai Jiyue took her back to the staff dormitory and explained this part of the rules to her.
The presence of the ID card means that they are employees of that company.
Employees need to go back to the dormitory to sleep.
This is a trap full of malicious intent. Ordinary players have no idea where the dormitories are. If they ask "passersby" this question, it will trigger a key rule - "If anyone is found making suspicious remarks, all citizens have the right to report to the public security office."
However, with Bai Jiuyue around, they avoided the traps of rules at every step.
There are quite a few people on the road now, and there are also many faceless people taking a walk at night. They don't stand out among them.
The course of action has already been decided in advance and does not need to be repeated.
In this situation where walls have ears, it is not convenient to talk about any sensitive topics.
Therefore, Ji Weihang and Bai Jiuyue chatted about family matters and asked about her areas of expertise and future development directions.
"I'm not particularly good at anything." Bai Jiyue replied in a voice transmission, "But I want to be an adventurer."
After building the foundation, the monks will begin to identify areas of interest and study them in depth.
According to the fighting style, there are sword cultivators, magic cultivators, physical cultivators, sound cultivators, formation cultivators, etc.
According to the profession, there are priests, weapon refiners, pharmacists, animal trainers, etc.
For example, Ji Weihang and Gui Jian wanted to become weapon refiners since they were young, while Ji Tianjiao and Bai Zhiyu were born with sword-like talents and loved swords, so they naturally chose the direction of sword cultivation.
It is not uncommon to find people who practice multiple disciplines like Li Ji.
However, the adventurer...
This is a somewhat unexpected answer.
This is a relatively niche profession.
Few middle-aged women would become adventurers. For them, who are well-informed, being an adventurer is neither interesting nor exciting, nor is it necessary.
Low-level cultivators work as adventurers to hunt ferocious beasts, search for treasures, and explore secret places to make a living, and sometimes they even compete with bounty hunters for missions.
When wealthy women with abundant resources do these jobs, it always feels like they are stealing other people's jobs.
"Oh, I'm not interested in killing beasts or anything like that." Bai Jiuyue added, "I just want to explore and unravel all the secrets, and as an adventurer I can go deep into all parts of the continent."
He's a curious young man.
Ji Weihang vaguely understood why she had such an unusual attitude towards him, the enemy who killed her sister.
——She probably regarded their hatred as a secret waiting for her to solve.
However, Ji Weihang himself hasn't figured out this mess yet, so how can she see through it?
It only takes a few minutes from the staff dormitory to the company.
They soon stood at a familiar intersection corner, with the riverside corridor behind them.
It was almost curfew, and most of the companies in this commercial district had already let their employees go home. There were few people on the streets. Only in the "6am to 10pm" building opposite the Rule Building was the lights still on, and people were moving around.
They have curfew when they get off work, how will they leave?
As he was thinking about this, Ji Weihang noticed that there seemed to be a person standing in the shadow at the opposite corner, but he couldn't see clearly what he looked like.
"Senior, this is a bit troublesome." Bai Jiuyue's voice brought her back to her senses, and she stuck her head out to look towards the company's entrance.
Even with her very average eyesight now, she could see two armed security guards at least three meters tall standing in front of the company's closed glass door. They stood straight and looked straight ahead.
It's very difficult to get through.
But that also shows that it is indeed important.
They have considered how to deal with "obstacles" if they arise, but it is a bit difficult to implement now.
At this moment, the security guard who was closer seemed to notice their gazes and suddenly turned his head to look.
——They hid back at the corner a step earlier.
The security guard only saw the empty corner. After a moment, he turned his head again and looked forward.
"Senior, how about it, do you think we can take action?" Bai Jiuyue asked at the corner.
Ji Weihang didn't know. Her mind was in a mess. On the one hand, she thought that a quick victory was the best option, but on the other hand, she felt that this was too risky.
"Let me think about it."
"good."
Bai Jiuyue did not urge her, allowing her to slowly sort out her thoughts.
This 333-story building is the center of the 33rd floor of building blocks. It is also the only company on this floor that works from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Bai Jiuyue flipped through the "Thirty-three Layer Building Blocks Rules" and learned that this place is on the same level as the Public Security Bureau, and the employees' daily job is to weave rules.
The rules for the building (in bold italics) are as follows:
【1. All employees must clock in at 10 a.m. and clock out at 5 p.m.
2. During working hours, all employees must weave at least ten rules that are approved by their supervisors and uploaded to the system.
3. Employees are not allowed to leave the building during work hours.
4. Employees are not allowed to enter the building outside of working hours.
5. The order from the Security Department is the first order and cannot be violated. 】
Pretty simple rules.
It's time to get off work, and as employees, it would be against the rules for them to go in.
Bai Jiuyue was confident that without an ID card they were not considered employees, so when she passed by a trash can on the corner of the street, she threw their ID cards into it.
Thinking of this, Ji Weihang suddenly asked: "How can I take the elevator without a work badge?"
Bai Jiyue blinked and said, "Robbered someone else's?"
"That's unreliable..." Ji Weihang said, "Didn't you say that everyone must leave the company after get off work? There might not be anyone inside."
That’s true, but maybe... Looking at Ji Weihang’s eyes, Bai Jiuyue sighed secretly. It seems that this adventure has to be terminated.
At this time, a voice came over: "Hello."
The man across the street had stepped out of the shadows and approached them.
This is a middle-aged man with sharp features and weather-beaten wrinkles clearly visible. Obviously, he is not the faceless person commonly seen here.
As she approached, she said, "Are you trying to get into the Rules Building?"
Bai Jiyue cautiously untied one side of her backpack, which contained a thermos, an iron rod, and some small miscellaneous items;
Ji Weihang's hand reached to his waist, where a fruit knife was hidden.
"I have no ill intentions, don't be nervous." The middle-aged man spread his hands to show that he had no weapons, and then extended his hand to show his friendliness. "I am Yu Yuanzhen, a player like you."
They had no intention of shaking hands, so she simply withdrew her hand and said straight to the point, "I want to cooperate with you and enter the Rules Building."
Without waiting for their response, she explained her situation one by one:
“When I entered the game, I worked in the building opposite and was responsible for text input.
“——This job is to enter words from paper into the computer.
"I heard from my colleagues that there was a curfew at 9 o'clock. I asked my colleagues how they could go back to the dormitory during the curfew since they didn't get off work until 10 o'clock and couldn't stay overnight at the company, but my colleagues didn't want to tell me.
“I guessed it was a plot twist, so I asked my supervisor for leave and left work early.
"When I was working, I learned about the peculiarities of the Rule Building, and I guessed there should be a way to leave this floor of blocks. But I couldn't get past two security guards by myself, so I wanted to wait here to see if any players would come.
"Just now when I saw you guys standing here and watching, I thought we might have the same goal, so I wanted to seek cooperation."
Clearly organized, articulate, calm, mature and steady.
Bai Jiuyue felt that this was a good opportunity to get the senior to agree to continue the adventure, and looked at Ji Weihang expectantly.
Ji Weihang said: "Do you know what is inside the Rules Building?"
The middle-aged man Yu Yuanzhen didn't care that they didn't agree to cooperate and asked for information, saying: "I don't know. But when I was typing text, I found that this layer of building blocks was going to massacre the players tomorrow.
“Although the text input looks like garbled text, you can still find patterns.
"I found them to be a document stating that new rules for players will be entered tomorrow. That's why I wanted to leave quickly."
"Input?" Ji Weihang said, "Where to input? Your company?"
"Probably not." Yu Yuanzhen said, "I tried it, but that company seemed to be only responsible for inputting confirmed documents into the computer. I think the most likely one is the Rule Building. This is also the second reason why I want to go to the Rule Building."
She said frankly: "Maybe it can help other people who don't know the situation."
Want to save other players who don't know the truth? You have a heroic spirit.
Ji Weihang glanced at her, and suddenly saw Bai Jiyue, who had been frowning in thought, raise her hand: "I should know where to input it."
