The oil tanker was too big, so it was the most noticeable.
As soon as Xiao Jin entered the police station, she turned around and saw the tanker truck in the corner, and also exchanged a glance with the two people climbing on it.
Xiao Jin: "..." Oh no, the oil has been stolen.
The other person: "..." Oh my god, why does this person look so familiar!
The two sides were only twenty meters apart, but Xiao Jin frowned slightly as he looked at the faces of the two people on the tanker truck.
These two people... I feel like I've seen them somewhere before!
The next second, the woman with short hair among the two opposite spoke first: "Damn, I remember now, it's that ruthless person that the big sister from the last world was talking about."
Based on his companion's words, the other person instantly matched Xiao Jin's appearance with someone from his memory, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
"It's her. Should we notify the boss?"
Although they had only spent half a day together, Xiao Jin's outstanding performance was still deeply imprinted in their minds.
The boss said that if we encounter this person again, it's best not to provoke her. Even if we can't befriend her, we shouldn't make enemies.
"Big Sister?" Xiao Jin raised an eyebrow.
Immediately, the short-haired woman flipped over and jumped off the tanker truck, approaching Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin didn't sense any hostility from her, but he remained vigilant, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on the short-haired woman's every move.
The short-haired woman, who had initially appeared quite composed, became increasingly stiff with each step closer to Xiao Jin, and despite the cold weather, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Finally, having no other choice, she simply stopped walking and stood far in front of Xiao Jin.
"Hehe, um, hello there, boss!"
Chen Dong wiped his face behind him. What a terrible start!
He seemed to realize that what he was saying was nonsense, and the way the big shot was looking at him was clearly wrong.
Wang Qing shuddered and quickly added, "My boss is Gao Ya, she's inside right now, do you want to see her, Boss?"
Upon hearing that familiar name, the coldness in Xiao Jin's eyes instantly vanished, and she remembered why she thought the two looked familiar.
It turned out that she had caught a glimpse of the two people behind Gao Ya in the underground city's plaza earlier.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jin asked, "You guys are so lucky to be assigned to the same game world as your boss?"
"Hey, no way, it's because the boss used a team-up item that we..."
"Cough cough cough~"
Chen Dong almost coughed himself to death, but he couldn't interrupt Wang Qing. His face immediately showed a look of utter despair.
Wang Qing's smile faltered when she saw Xiao Jin's ambiguous smile. Yes, the boss seemed to have instructed her not to reveal this matter casually.
She forced an awkward smile: "Boss, could you pretend you didn't hear anything?"
"Get out of the way!" Chen Dong couldn't take it anymore and quickly pulled the silly girl behind him, then revealed an impeccable smile.
"Don't mind her, boss. Xiao Qing just doesn't know how to speak properly. You don't need to take her words to heart!"
"Yes, yes, you don't need to listen to me!" Wang Qing, hiding behind, covered her mouth and waved her hands frantically.
Xiao Jin's eyes were filled with a smile.
Chen Dong continued speaking to Xiao Jin: "Our boss obtained the team-up item by chance, and there are some minor issues with how to use it."
To minimize the impact, the boss told us to keep quiet, but you don't need to.
Hearing this, Xiao Jin already had a plan in mind.
"Is it to prevent some people from taking advantage of the team-up feature?"
Chen Dong was astonished. He hadn't even said anything yet, how did the big shot already know? He then realized what was happening and nodded with a smile.
"The boss is indeed a boss."
This item is called a binding card. It is a one-way item. Binding does not require the other party's consent; all that is needed is to know the appearance of the person being bound.
Furthermore, if the bound object dies in the game world, the person who used the item will inherit all of the deceased's points and items.
Chen Dong paused for a moment: "Only those who hold the bound card can see this last part."
Xiao Jin understood; no wonder Gao Ya was so secretive about it.
"How many people can I bind the card to at a time?" she asked.
"One card can only be bound to one person, and it will last for three worlds." Chen Dong found a binding card and handed it directly to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin looked at him: "What do you mean?"
"I asked him to give it to you."
Behind her, Gao Ya came out of the building and nodded when she saw Xiao Jin: "I really didn't expect we would meet again."
It turned out that after discovering Xiao Jin's identity, Chen Dong promptly notified Gao Ya, who was still upstairs. Upon seeing the message, Gao Ya immediately inquired about Xiao Jin's situation.
After learning that Wang Qing had forgotten to mention the team-up item, he wasn't angry. Instead, he simply had Chen Dong give Xiao Jin one.
Xiao Jin was quite surprised to see this charming woman again, but she had a good impression of Gao Ya.
"We meet again!" Xiao Jin replied in a friendly manner.
Over there, Gao Ya snatched the binding card from Chen Dong's hand as soon as she got close, and handed it to Xiao Jin without saying a word.
Xiao Jin: "?"
Gao Ya chuckled, "Don't be surprised, I still have more of these. Giving you one is nothing. Besides, this isn't a free gift."
Hearing this, Xiao Jin stopped being coy and decisively put the props into her backpack; she didn't like things that were free.
What do you want me to do?
"That feels great." Gao Ya smiled.
"It's nothing major. As you know, with this side quest, it's no longer feasible for players to fight on their own."
Gao Ya waved her hand, signaling Chen Dong and the others to continue working, while she led Xiao Jin into the building.
“As one of the top players, your goal is definitely not to just coast along and wait to die, then survive until the seventh day when you leave.” Gao Ya looked at Xiao Jin.
"Side quests represent a lot of points, and to get more rewards, you need to protect more natives."
"How many can you save by yourself? Ten? Fifty? Or a hundred?"
The two sat on the sofa. Gao Ya handed Xiao Jin a cup of hot cocoa, while she herself held a cup of hot tea.
"So, you want to collaborate with me." Xiao Jin understood Gao Ya's meaning.
“Of course.” Gao Ya crossed her long legs: “Actually, it’s not just you. I plan to unite all the players I’ve found.”
Everyone knows how the system operates. Right now, we still have time to gather supplies to help the indigenous people, but it certainly won't be so easy later.
