Chapter 122 Mermaid Cruise
There was the sound of running water in the dimly lit restroom.
The boy moved slowly, washing the blood off his hands and face.
Bai Jin has completely returned to normal.
Seeing the bloodstains on his shirt through the narrow fragments of the mirror, he remained calm and silent.
The wardrobe is outside...
The wound on the back of my hand is healing rapidly.
Soon, before he could figure out how to deal with the blood, the wound disappeared without a trace.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Jin decided to take off his shirt.
Just say you just took a shower.
After finding an excuse, the boy stood in front of the door. After making sure his heart had calmed down, he pushed the door open and walked out.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded again.
On the soft carpet in the guest room, a young man still wearing a high-slit dress was kneeling on the ground with his back to him, and seemed to be picking at something in his hands.
The back line is smooth without a trace of fat. With the movement of the arms, you can see the beautiful butterfly bones from time to time. Looking down, the slit of this dress is too big, and the waist dimple is faintly visible...
Bai Jin's breathing became heavy again.
Feeling the heat in his body and his accelerated heartbeat, he began to regret and felt that he should not have brought this inferior person back!
Xu Zhiyan had no idea what Bai Jin had encountered.
He was still immersed in the thought that "this slice is the best slice in the world" and planned to go back and brag about it.
On the carpet were the things he had looted.
A dagger inlaid with colorful gems, a watch made of gold, a brooch decorated with pearls, matches, strong liquor, candies wrapped in cellophane, a brand new wallet with change inside...
He planned to keep the first three items for himself, and take the rest on board for use.
The slices are so lucrative this time, how can we not make more!
"Bai Jin, are these things useful to you? If not, can I lend them to you first..."
Taking something without asking is stealing.
Once you ask, it doesn’t count.
Although he hasn't obtained the identity yet, Xu Zhiyan has already relied on his extreme thick skin to call himself a teacher, and under the banner of borrowing, he is prepared to borrow without returning.
He was not in a hurry as he still hadn't heard Bai Jin's answer.
Xu Zhiyan thought that he had almost figured out Slice's temperament, and directly classified this young man Bai Jin as harmless.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of objects colliding.
After a long time, Bai Jin finally suppressed the demon that was about to appear again, and scolded Xu Zhiyan with a flushed face.
"You! You...did you do this on purpose?!"
While saying this, he couldn't help but look down along the young man's waist.
Because she was kneeling on the ground searching, the high-slit skirt could hardly cover the young man's perky butt, and the view from behind made people feel angry.
Why are there such shameless people in the world!
Xu Zhiyan rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Why does this kid keep saying shameless? But this outfit really doesn't fit the aesthetics of this dungeon.
Although the process of building a game copy is unclear, based on his own experience and experience gained from watching live broadcasts, game copies usually create content based on a similar era.
For example, the Mermaid Cruise copy.
Poor people, coal-burning ships, expensive old cars, and the layers of thick skirts of pretty ladies...
No matter how you look at it, this high-slit skirt seems a bit out of place.
He began to wonder who the mysterious person was who the second-hand shop owner had mentioned as selling skirts five years ago.
A broken NPC?
The BUG occurred because the boss received something that was not compatible with the copy. Was he helping passers-by?
"You...why don't you change your clothes!"
Being ignored, Master Bai spoke again, and his angry words interrupted Xu Zhiyan's thoughts.
Xu Zhiyan shook his head secretly. His vocabulary was not rich and he was very simple. It seemed like he could use some fun!
With a teasing idea in his mind, he simply put down the things on the carpet, stood up, and looked at Bai Jin, who was shirtless, with some surprise.
The young Bai Jin was not as strong as he was when he was an adult. Although his body was also covered with a layer of firm muscles, perhaps because of preconceived notions, Xu Zhiyan always felt that he looked like a younger brother.
"Xiaobai, your vocabulary is so poor, the teacher is very sad."
He licked his lips, lifted up his slit skirt, revealing his white thighs, and raised his foot to rub Bai Jin's calf with his round toes without socks.
"There's nothing wrong with the clothes. The problem is me. You can call my behavior - flirty."
As a straight man, Xu Zhiyan has no burden in being naughty.
But Bai Jin, who was sitting opposite him, suffered.
“You…you you you you…you…”
The boy looked like a ripe tomato, with sweat pouring down his forehead. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
He took a few steps back and quickly locked himself in the bathroom again.
"Bang!"
Seeing that the glass door was about to fall down, Xu Zhiyan let go of his hand, held his stomach and started laughing uncontrollably.
“Hahahahahahaha damn, this kid is so funny!”
After experiencing being bullied by multiple slices, he finally found such a well-behaved, pure and obedient slice, and he couldn't help but want to tease the other party.
It's really a great honor.
Finally, Xu Zhiyan was almost getting a stitch in the side from laughing so hard. He was afraid that his clothes would tear if he continued laughing, so he simply lay down on the fluffy carpet and tried to calm down.
Unexpectedly, before he could calm down completely, Bai Jin, who had just rushed into the bathroom, came out again.
The blush on the boy's face had not yet faded, and his eyes didn't know where to put them. They turned around, but he didn't dare to look at Xu Zhiyan.
He picked up the bag he had just thrown at the door, poured the heavy skirt inside onto the young man lying on the ground, and spoke stutteringly.
"You, you, you, you, you change into this tomorrow!"
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Zhiyan's answer, he ran back to the bathroom again and locked the door.
When Xu Zhiyan crawled out from the pile of clothes, there was no sign of Bai Jin in front of him.
He picked up the gray skirt on his body and gestured. He felt that if he put on these layers and added a coat, he would be completely wrapped up.
He smiled and shook his head, finally he had enough of being naughty.
He took off his women's clothes and put back on his old clothes that had holes in them after being washed.
After putting away the women's clothes that Bai Jin had found and the things he had just looted, he walked to the bathroom door and knocked.
"I'm leaving first. What time will I come to see you tomorrow?"
Although it might be okay to stay here, it was outside the scope of the dungeon after all, and he was worried that the red crabs would attack him while he was sleeping at night.
After a long time, so long that Xu Zhiyan thought Bai Jin had fallen asleep inside, he finally got an answer from the other party.
"Board the ship at ten o'clock. We'll meet at the dock."
Bai Jin's voice trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing something.
Listening to the boy's voice trying to remain steady, Xu Zhiyan thought that the other party had not yet recovered from the teasing just now.
"Then I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, he picked up his backpack, opened the window, and climbed down from the roof of the first floor under the cover of night.
The room fell silent again.
The evening breeze blew in through the open window.
“Ka——”
The bathroom door was opened from the inside.
Bai Jinchi walked out with his upper body naked, and the long wound on the back of his hand began to heal.
He first walked to the window and followed the traces to guess where Xu Zhiyan would go. After watching for a while, he found that he could not see the other person at the dock, so he returned to the center of the carpet.
Some of the soft long-haired carpet's hair had become messy, which was the mark of Xu Zhiyan lying there.
He first squatted on the ground, touched the carpet which was still warm, and then somehow lay down on it.
Bai Jin felt like he might be crazy.
"He, he is really unexpected..."
"roll!"
The boy interrupted his soliloquy, curled up on the ground, closed his eyes, felt his heart pounding, and his ears turned red again for no reason.
This time, the other voice was very obedient and didn't say anything more.
It can be seen that Xu Zhiyan's playful action not only made the innocent boy Bai Jin unbearable, but even the fanatical voice in his heart was a little... shocked.
Xu Zhiyan didn't know how many people he had hurt by being naughty.
After crossing the road smoothly, I finally felt relieved from my nervousness.
We will board the ship tomorrow. The system has reserved a whole day and night for players, so there must be things that players need to explore.
He had to go back and see if his reliable teammates had made any new discoveries.
Since the old ticket can definitely allow boarding, are there other hidden identities at this dock?
In the shed, all the coworkers and teammates were gone, only Xiaoyi was left, holding a note in his mouth, lying obediently on the straw bed waiting for him.
Xu Zhiyan took out the note and poked the dog's head with his fingertips, just as a perfunctory touch.
Then he glanced at the contents.
[The clothes have been repaired, check the task bar]
“It’s so concise.”
Only then did Xu Zhiyan realize that after he crossed the road, the entire taskbar panel lost connection.
[Additional Task: Find a Safe House]
[Progress: ? ? ]
He first took a look at the progress of the safe house.
If nothing unexpected happens, the safe house in this copy definitely cannot be on the shore.
[Main Mission [Part 1]: Participate in the Cruise Party]
[Task 2: Survival needs]
[Note: As a coal burner who is about to board the ship, although you are going to make money, you still need some living expenses. The people on the ship will not give you food and drink for free. ]
[Tip: There are many jobs at the dock, and you can earn money by moving goods.]
The docks here operate all night long.
Xu Zhiyan didn’t know where these cargo ships were going, but that didn’t stop him from thinking that the main system was a bit too stupid.
How much can you pay for moving goods overnight?
Doesn't this clearly tell the players that there will be no food to eat after boarding the ship, forcing the players to plunder the dock?
He waved at Xiaoyi, and the soft-furred golden retriever puppy understood and obediently jumped off the bed and followed him.
The place where tasks are assigned on the dock is in the center.
A temporary distribution point was set up with a simple table. A bearded man was biting on a cigarette, reluctant to light it. He was holding a handful of work papers in his hand and sitting on an equally dirty chair with his feet raised high.
The silent workers stood in line.
Everyone comes here to receive a work note, and then goes to the work area according to the contents of the note.
After completing enough work, the note can receive payment from the regional manager.
Xu Zhiyan moved behind the bearded man and secretly checked the contents of the note - Okay, two dollars for an hour's work, he was sure that Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng would not do it.
As expected.
Just after Xu Zhiyan left the bearded man, he followed Xiaoyi and soon met Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng who came out of the alley.
The two men looked like they had just found some other way and were soaked.
I just don't know if I got the money.
The three of them reunited, and Jiang Huaique's expression was not very good.
He raised his chin and told Xu Zhiyan the information he got that night: "The player in the shed over there didn't win."
Not all players will focus on □□ strengthening.
It seems natural that some players cannot stand out among this group of burly workers.
Jin Sheng grabbed the dog and put it back in his arms. His expression was not as relaxed as when they met in the afternoon.
"Theft is a dead end. After Brother Jiang and I separated, I saw the players who were caught stealing in the afternoon. There are also high-level NPCs like security guards here. He told me some rules."
You cannot steal, kill, or do anything illegal at the dock, otherwise you will be caught and executed.
Xu Zhiyan was a little stunned.
He thought that some people would steal things, steal clothes or something, but he didn't expect that players with props would be caught.
There are currently six players at this dock.
Now, in addition to the three of them, two players have already sacrificed.
"The last player is moving goods there. She is a very down-to-earth person." When Jiang Huaique talked about this player, he gritted his teeth and had a strange expression.
"Aren't you a real person? What's your expression?" Xu Zhiyan asked curiously.
Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng looked at each other and saw a little embarrassment in each other's eyes.
"Well, after you left just now, we received a mission and planned to come here to take a look, but the salary is too low, and it is still calculated by the hour, which is a bit uneconomical."
The more he hesitated, the more curious Xu Zhiyan became.
Facing the curious gazes of his teammates, Jiang Huaique could not continue speaking, and it was Jin Sheng who told them what happened to them later.
"We encountered a very strong player..."
Time goes back to two hours ago.
The two received a new task, but they were dissatisfied with the low salary of the work at the dock, so they wanted to find out if there were any other ways.
During the exploration, in addition to learning about the sudden deaths of two other players, they met a silent, tall and thin female player who was surrounded by several strong men at the dock.
"Her player characteristics were too obvious, and she happened to be surrounded by several monster NPCs, which seemed to be a conflict. We thought about whether we could lend a hand."
At this point, Jin Sheng looked embarrassed.
Although he and Jiang Huaique may not be good people, when they encounter something like this that can help other players, they are still willing to help.
The result was unexpected.
Although the player looked weak, he was almost forced to jump into the sea.
When Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng rushed over, the melee had already begun. They watched helplessly as the tall and thin woman grabbed a strong man in each hand, using the two strong men as weapons, leaving afterimages.
The two realized that this player seemed to be quite strong and did not need any help at all.
But by the time they wanted to retreat, it was too late. The player had already approached them at an extremely fast speed...
Indiscriminate physical attack.
The scene became somewhat horrific.
Jiang Huai felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and couldn't help but explain: "Killing people at the dock is illegal, we can't let these NPCs die."
In order to avoid breaking the rules, the two could only focus on defense and always have to figure out how to prevent the other party from killing the NPC in their hands.
Finally, due to inertia, the players and NPCs who couldn't stop spinning crashed into the sea together.
With the resistance of the sea water, the dispute was settled, no one died, and all were injured.
After listening to the whole story, Xu Zhiyan glanced at Jiang Huaique and Jin Sheng’s wet clothes. His face was almost distorted before he managed to hold back his laughter.
"Are you guys okay? You don't look injured though, hahahaha."
But unfortunately, I couldn't help myself in the end.
"What the hell are you laughing at!"
Jiang Huai Que was furious.
Jin Sheng explained: "She is a doctor... Brother Xu, no, not the doctor in the game! She is a veterinarian in the real world!"
Halfway through his words, Jin Sheng caught a glimpse of Xu Zhiyan's eyes that suddenly lit up, and hurriedly spoke in more detail, fearing that his teammates would recruit the other party.
"I've heard before that there was a player with medical skills who almost killed someone in a dungeon team and was then kicked out of the team. It should be her."
Chu Qing, a veterinarian with the ability to exert strength.
The reason why players envy people with characteristics is that players with characteristics will have a clearer direction of future development.
The rest of the players, without good weapons and skills, can only use what they have.
Most people would start with physical strengthening, just like Jiang Huai. After awakening his characteristics, Chu Qing, like everyone else, prioritized improving his own strength.
But not all features are suitable for development.
After entering several dungeons, Chu Qing found that his strength trait was somewhat useful, but not much, and he couldn't even find a teammate because he was too mediocre.
In desperation, she went back to her old job and formed a team as a doctor... Of course, the consequences were not good.
At this point, Jin Sheng made a few excuses for her.
"Generally speaking, doctors in a team are people with treatment-related skills. They are very rare and sought-after. She probably doesn't watch live broadcasts and doesn't know these unspoken rules at all. She just went there stupidly."
Healing items and skills in the infinite game are too scarce.
Jiang Huaique curled his lips with an expression of disgust.
"Yeah, but she was asked to repair a teammate who was cut in half by a monster, and she almost failed to save him. She wasted a very rare item, and she was almost beaten to death because of the monster's anger... Damn, it was too tragic."
Xu Zhiyan also smacked his lips.
“It’s really miserable.”
For a moment, it was hard to tell whether I was sympathizing with the player who was almost not rescued, or with Chu Qing.
He has also encountered problems caused by this kind of information gap. The game is not very humane and always hides a lot, requiring players to explore on their own.
After explaining the whole story, the three of them decided to go back since there were no good jobs available.
On the way back, the three of them passed by the construction site where Chu Qing was working.
The scene was indeed somewhat shocking.
The tall and thin player carried cargo that was twice his height and was busy earning living expenses on the ship.
It was already past twelve o'clock. If she stayed up all night and stayed up until she got on the boat, she might be able to earn twenty dollars.
Thinking that he didn't have much money and had teammates to support, Xu Zhiyan was helpless.
He was a man who never showed off his wealth. When he returned to the shed, he gave Jin Shengjiang and Huai Que thirty yuan each as living expenses for the next day on the ship, and then put away the mended clothes.
It is said that the wages at the dock are higher at night than during the day, and the monsters in this monster shed do not need to rest, so it provides a good place for the three people to rest.
Jinsheng put Xiaoyi on the ground and told his teammates to take a rest.
"It's very good at keeping watch."
When the other two heard this, they stopped being pretentious and just found a straw bed to fall into a light sleep.
A dreamless night.
The next day, nine o'clock.
When Jin Sheng and Jiang Huaique were woken up by Xiaoyi, Xu Zhiyan was no longer in the shed.
A luxury hotel near the pier.
Bai Jin was in a daze and heard the sound of the window being pushed open. He turned over, thinking he was dreaming.
Last night he simply fell asleep on the carpet where Xu Zhiyan had slept.
For the whole night, he dreamed of that person. She was wearing a high-slit dress, revealing her smooth thighs, and her white and tender feet were stepping on him...
The scent of that person is still lingering around, how annoying! He has been gone for so long, why can he still smell it?
Bai Jin was half asleep and half awake. He covered his eyes with his hands, not wanting himself to think any further. However, his brain was simply not listening and his blood kept rushing down.
"Huh? You look very energetic!"
It was Xu Zhiyan's voice.
Huh? The boy, who hadn't woken up yet, paused, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night yesterday, standing in front of him, looking down at him, as if looking at... looking at, looking at his...
"It's really good to be young. The lower body wakes up before the main body does."
Xu Zhiyan, who had completely taken the initiative, crossed his arms and looked at the boy's pajamas that were pushed up with a teasing look on his face.
In the morning, he understood.
But it was soon time to board the ship, and luckily Bai Jin woke up, otherwise he might have kicked his good student a few times.
Bai Jin woke up with a start.
"You... you have no shame! You are a shameless lowly person!!"
As he cursed, his face turned from pale to red, but for some reason, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw Xu Zhiyan arrive as promised.
Thinking about the time to board the ship, Xu Zhiyan stopped teasing him and pointed to the bathroom and said, "Go and take care of it. I'll change my clothes first. By the way, do I have a contract to be your tutor? How do I get paid?"
If work doesn't earn you money, it's meaningless!
Bai Jin paused, turned away and patted his face before he said a price he had already thought of.
"Five hundred a day. Come to me every day to collect it."
He seemed to be thinking of something, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
"…The tutor doesn't have a private room. You, you have to stay with me after you get on board."
Oh my God! Is he going to live with this strange low-class teacher at night?
Bai Jin felt like his heart was about to jump out.
His cheeks flushed as he thought of the restrictions placed on the lower classes on the ship.
Once on the boat, this person in front of me will no longer run around, and I must be with him every day.
Xu Zhiyan nodded and agreed nonchalantly, very perfunctorily.
"Hmmmm."
He completes side quests and clears dungeons during the day and kills monsters for gear at night. He can't wait to find a safe house on the ship.
After all, the cruise ship is so small, how can the safe house be in the sea?
As for what Young Master Bai had just said, he would just reluctantly treat the other party's room as a supply warehouse. After all, the salary was quite tempting.
The two reached a strange consensus and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
But this atmosphere didn't last long.
When changing clothes, Xu Zhiyan discovered that this small slice was much more fussy than the other slices.
"Just wear anything. You can't ask me to wear all these clothes. It's summer now!" God knows how heavy this gray skirt is.
"No, if you don't dress properly, you will definitely be stopped."
Bai Jin stood behind Xu Zhiyan, wishing he could put all his clothes on him so that the young man in front of him would be exposed except for his eyes.
"Gloves are no longer necessary..."
"No, you have to bring it."
"This skirt is so long, it's okay if I don't wear socks!"
"No, you have to wear it."
"I've already worn two layers of this skirt, so I'll stop wearing it..."
"no……"
Finally, Xu Zhiyan gave up, holding a pair of brand new lace stockings, and asked: "I can't tell whether I wear this or not, why do you want me to wear it?"
He was almost wrapped into a ball by this small slice.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jin suddenly lowered his head, his ears turned red enough to bleed, and he didn't dare to look up at the other person.
"Because... because of you, you're so slutty."
Damn it, he thought of yesterday's scene again, and his breathing became a little faster.
Xu Zhiyan's eyes went dark, and he wished he could travel back to yesterday and give himself a big slap in the face when he was teasing Bai Jin to stop his dirty talk.
I won’t be naughty anymore. I won’t be naughty again next time.
This kid is honest and sincere. He is really learning...
