Chapter 25 Is he coveting her physique?
Zhen Jinli opened her mouth as if wanting to say something, then muttered.
".I just didn't have time to tell you that I have a substitute puppet."
This is also her trump card, so it’s normal that she didn’t reveal it so quickly, right?
Su Yan looked at Chen Ji and Zhen Jinli who were arguing out of anger, and quickly tried to smooth things over and comfort them.
"Okay, stop talking."
Su Yan looked at Zhen Jinli and said, "Xiao Li, don't take such risks next time. Even if you want to take risks, you should at least discuss it with us first."
Zhen Jinli said "Oh" obediently, and then continued to discuss with Su Yan about publishing a new strategy guide on Weibo.
They need to quickly spread the news about the conditions for obtaining points in the game through mainstream media.
Only when more and more people realize that saving people and dealing with NPCs in the game are the keys to obtaining points can more people be mobilized to help save people.
By the time the next game comes, it will be easier for them to unite players and complete the game together.
After Zhen Jinli and Su Yan have finalized the plan, they also need to discuss it with Shen Ji and ask some well-known internet celebrities and actors to help spread the news.
But Shen Ji is angry now and probably doesn't want to talk to her.
So Zhen Jinli simply asked Su Yan to communicate with Chen Ji.
Zhen Jinli clasped his hands together and made a sincere gesture of asking for help.
"Brother Su, please tell Jiuyi about asking a KOL to help spread the news. You two are good friends after all."
Su Yan reluctantly agreed: "I can talk to him this time, but you and Jiu Yi shouldn't keep the cold war going on for too long."
After all, they are teammates who are going to participate in the survival game together, and it will not be good for anyone if their relationship becomes strained.
Zhen Jinli scratched his head and said, "Okay, it was indeed a bit rash of me to act on my own this time. I will find a chance to have a good chat with Jiuyi."
Su Yan said "hmm", and then went to discuss with Shen Ji about releasing the news on the short video platform.
***
In the evening, Zhen Jinli brought the prepared fruit salad and planned to apologize and reconcile with Chen Ji.
After all, his things are still stored in her space. What if the space is cleared after she dies and resurrects?
So, it was natural for Shen Jing to be angry.
Zhen Jinli knocked on the silent door, and after he opened it, she held up the prepared fruit salad and smiled at him.
"Salad?"
Chen Ji glanced at Sala, moved aside with an awkward look on his face, and said to Zhen Jinli.
"Come in and talk."
Well, this apology is interesting.
"Okay~"
Zhen Jinli, holding a plate of fruit salad with toothpicks on it, walked into the quiet room with small steps and sat down.
Chen Jing actually has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so if she apologizes sincerely, he will no longer be angry with her.
"sorry."
What Zhen Jinli didn't expect was that Chen Jing would be the first to apologize.
"Today, I failed to control my emotions."
He sat on the edge of the bed, looked up at Zhen Jinli, his eyes full of sincerity and admiration.
"Actually, you are very brave, but I can't be as brave as you, so I lose my temper with you."
If Xiaoli had not been so brave as to chop the gate iron, the last few dozen players would probably have died in the game.
Even the fact that the key to obtaining game points was to save people and eliminate NPCs was something she had discovered and brought up first. So why should he blame her?
Zhen Jinli was still thinking about how to apologize to Shen Ji, but she was apologized to first, and she was suddenly at a loss.
"Jiuyi, you don't have to apologize to me."
Zhen Jinli put the fruit salad on the coffee table and scratched her cheek with her slender fingers, seeming a little embarrassed.
"I acted on my own without consulting you first, causing you to worry. You're right to be angry."
Shen Ji shook his head, a bitter smile on his lips.
"Actually, Brother Su and I both know that you are just trying to save more people."
"It's just that we don't trust you enough. We don't know how to fight the survival game after losing you, so we lost our temper with you."
Zhen Jinli nodded thoughtfully. After hearing what Jiuyi said, she instantly understood Su Ge and Jiuyi's feelings.
"Xiao Li." Chen Ji looked at Zhen Jinli, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Seeing that Chen Ji seemed to have something to say to her, Zhen Jinli quickly put on a gesture of patient listening.
"Tell us whatever concerns you have, and we can work together to find a solution."
Chen Ji looked at Zhen Jinli with clear eyes, and suddenly felt that his thoughts became even darker and more dirty.
"Let me tell you first, if I tell you, you are not allowed to get angry."
Zhen Jinli nodded and said, "I promise you, I won't be angry."
Shen Ji hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.
"Actually, I'm quite jealous of the special treatment Yugi gives you."
Zhen Jinli was slightly stunned. Was she being envied, jealous and hated?
"I often wonder why it's you, not me, who has the special ability to avoid games."
Chen Ji lowered his eyes and said, "We are obviously teammates, but I can't help but think that it would be great if the person with the special physique was me."
"I will definitely be able to make good use of this physique and do better than you."
Shen Ji's eyes were slightly red, and tears were faintly visible in his eyes.
"But it wasn't until I saw you chopping the gate with an axe that I realized I couldn't be as brave as you."
"You would rather risk your own life than explore a new path for the remaining people. How can I compare to such bravery and determination?"
"I covet your physique only because I'm afraid of death and a coward."
"Xiao Li, do you despise me for being so miserable?"
It was the first time that Zhen Jinli saw Chen Ji with such a sad and lonely expression. She was suddenly at a loss and hurriedly comforted him.
"Jiuyi, don't be like this. You are already very brave. Really, you are actually very manly."
"Look, you've protected so many people, killed so many monsters and NPCs, and achieved such a high ranking. How many people envy and admire you."
Shen Ji was slightly stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes and looked at Zhen Jinli steadily, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of expectation.
"Do you really think I'm manly?"
Zhen Jinli recalled the comments she had seen in the Jiuyi comment section, about him being called a sissy for cosplaying a character, and quickly looked at him firmly.
"Really? You look so manly and handsome when you kill monsters and protect other players."
Kid, you need affirmation and don't doubt yourself.
Listening to Zhen Jinli's words that sounded like assurance, Shen Ji couldn't help but chuckle and said softly.
"Thank you, Xiaoli."
