"oops!"
Xu Zhiyi raised her hand to cover her mouth in surprise: "Mr. Su, this is the first time I've heard you say thank you... To be honest, it feels really strange to be thanked by you!"
Is that strange?
Xiao Linlin walked to Su Lin's side to block him, hands on her hips, frowning and scolding, "From what you're saying, it sounds like my brother is an unreasonable person. He's a normal person, what's wrong with saying thank you?"
"What a short temper."
Xu Zhiyi looked at Xiao Linlin with a smile: "I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that your brother's thank you is so different from other people's."
It's clear that Xu Zhiyi is very happy.
She seemed pleased with her correct decision in the last game. If we're talking purely from the perspective of "making friends," she seemed to have really taken a crucial step, making Su Lin's attitude towards her much better.
Xiao Linlin rolled her eyes upon hearing this, and had no rebuttal.
The woman's speech and actions were actually fine; her words conveyed a sense of respect and elevation towards Su Lin. If anyone else had said those words, Xiao Linlin would have been quite pleased.
But Xiao Linlin always felt that this woman was scheming and not truly sincere.
"What's up?"
Su Lin held Xiao Linlin's hand and looked at Xu Zhiyi: "If there's anything important, say it. Otherwise, I need to rest."
"Of course not, Mr. Su, you should get some rest first."
Xu Zhiyi paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I think Mr. Su probably doesn't know that there's a special ability called 'Contact Person' in the waiting area. Some survivors can add each other's communication channels and contact each other at any time while in the waiting area."
"Probably, it's the same as a phone number... I wonder if I have the honor of being Mr. Su's first contact."
Xu Zhiyi blinked and made a request.
Su Lin had no reason to refuse, and calmly nodded: "Okay."
[Attention! Survivor "Xu Zhiyi" has sent you a "fixed contact" request. Do you agree?]
[Once the request is approved, both parties may freely contact and notify each other within the same waiting area, sending voice and text messages on various communication bands.]
"agree."
Su Lin confirmed the pop-up message. A blank communication interface appeared in front of him, with only Xu Zhiyi's communication frequency displayed.
Goodbye, contact me again if needed.
Su Lin was decisive and efficient. He nodded to Xu Zhiyi, turned around, and led Xiao Linlin and her entourage away, heading towards the dormitory area.
He didn't ask Xu Zhiyi what she wanted to do, and Xu Zhiyi didn't try to take advantage of his kindness.
Both parties are intelligent people, and a seemingly simple meeting is enough to confirm many things.
Xu Zhiyi stood there, watching Su Lin leave.
A young man behind her finally couldn't help but speak up: "President Xu, is this Su Lin?"
"Otherwise what?"
Xu Zhiyi smiled and asked in return, her gaze remaining fixed on Su Lin's retreating figure in the distance, never wavering.
"So...we waited here for two whole days, didn't even participate in the third match, and just let him leave like that?"
The young man pressed on in a low voice, "Does Chairman Xu not want him to join our self-help group?"
The Survivors Mutual Aid and Self-Rescue Association is an internal organization for survivors established by Xu Zhiyi in the D-3 area. It calls for eliminating internal strife among survivors, working together to fight against the mechanism, and ultimately achieving the goal of truly escaping the mechanism.
Xu Zhiyi was the first survivor to take the lead in forming an internal player organization, and she even spread the word, which led to powerful survivors in various regions starting to form their own survivor forces during that period.
Unfortunately, the subsequent first promotion match directly disrupted the internal power dynamics among these survivors.
After the promotion, members of the various escape factions were scattered to different regions, with little means of communication between them. This was a devastating blow to many newly formed escape factions.
Even for someone as intelligent as Xu Zhiyi, this situation was a huge challenge.
If the current situation of the Self-Help Association being scattered is not properly handled, it will be useless for her to come to Zone C-1, and the Self-Help Association will definitely fall apart.
After all, the players who are qualified to enter the C-1 area are all proud and arrogant. Without real skills, how can you control these people and have the ability to attract more members?
The only good way is to recruit top players in C-1 area and bring some renowned survivors into the guild to stabilize the situation.
By doing so, they can not only gain a foothold in the C-1 region, but also expand their influence, stabilize the self-help group members in other regions from top to bottom, and achieve a miraculous transformation "from collapse to prosperity".
And the best person to strategize with is none other than Su Lin!
He was once the top player in Zone D-1, and the strongest survivor, widely renowned across multiple zones!
As long as it is confirmed that he is still in the C-1 region and his strength remains formidable, he will be the best symbol and cornerstone of the Self-Salvation Association.
Everyone understands this principle; it's not just the Self-Rescue faction that understands it, but other player factions also understand it.
"I think about it, I dream about it all the time."
Xu Zhiyi withdrew her gaze, turned around, and led the team away: "But does thinking about it make any difference?"
She understood better than anyone that Su Lin was a loner and would never submit to anyone.
Therefore, Xu Zhiyi did not make this request. Rather than being rejected by Su Lin and ruining the relationship that had been built up, it was better not to bring it up at all.
After all, she had paid a great price, sacrificing her own best interests to gain Su Lin's initial approval. How could she casually destroy that approval?
"But if we don't hurry, what if he joins another faction..."
No, it won't.
Xu Zhiyi didn't turn her head, her tone resolute: "This man only has the potential to conquer others, not the potential for others to conquer him."
"All right."
The young man took a deep breath and sighed regretfully, "What a pity. If we had known we couldn't win him over, we should have joined the game, or we shouldn't have left so many people waiting for him..."
They waited for two whole days, doing nothing but standing near the end of the game waiting for Su Lin.
And all those two days were spent just to meet once and exchange a few meaningless words.
This is such a bad deal!
"oh?"
Xu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow, suddenly stopped, and turned around to look at the young man.
Her gaze was serene, as if all emotions had been suppressed, leaving only pure tranquility.
The young man felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze and couldn't help but touch his cheek: "President, did I say something wrong...?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a huge commotion erupted from the crowd of survivors in the distance!
