In the study, a man was leaning against the bookshelf, half dead, breathing heavily.
"Do you want to live?" Zhong Rui suddenly appeared, like a ghost.
"What do you mean?" The young man tilted his head and said indifferently. He was about thirty years old, thin, and looked gentle.
"I'll save your life, and you do something for me." Zhong Rui said seriously.
The young man's expression became strange, "Taking advantage of others' misfortune?"
Zhong Rui disagreed, "This is a fair trade, not a forced sale. An agreement can only be reached when both parties agree."
The young man smiled suddenly and said lightly, "Sorry, I may disappoint you. My supplies were robbed and I have nothing left. I have decided to give up the competition."
"That's such a pity." Zhong Rui said this with an indifferent look on his face, and turned around without hesitation to head to the next destination.
The young man's eyes flickered, and he said in a very low voice, "I don't need help, and I won't make any promises for it."
**
In the chess room, a young girl was resting against the wall. Her physical strength was only 23%, so she didn't dare to appear in front of others.
"Do you need help?" Zhong Rui entered the chess room and sat down not far away to show that he was harmless.
The young girl hugged herself, looked at the person warily, and said in a slightly fierce tone, "No need, get out!"
"Really?" Zhong Rui asked again nonchalantly, "Your physical strength is running low, and you're not far from death. Apparently your medicine has run out, otherwise you would have raised your physical strength above the safety line."
"It's me who encountered you this time. I don't plan to do anything to you. What if you encounter someone else later? Can you ensure that you can survive successfully?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he said indifferently, "I just want to make a deal with you. If you don't want to, then forget it."
Zhong Rui stood up and wanted to leave. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, "Tell me, what's the deal?"
Zhong Rui raised his lips and said, "The deal is very simple. I save your life, and you will do something for me unconditionally in the future."
The young girl sneered and couldn't help asking, "What if I die before I'm useful?"
Zhong Rui has a calm attitude. “If the investment fails, of course I can only blame myself for my bad luck.” Anyway, the bet is not much, success is a pleasant surprise, and failure is nothing to worry about.
The young girl fell silent for a long time, then she said, "Let me change the terms of the deal: I promise that I will never be your enemy, and I will give you a full-body protective suit. And you, give me medicine worth 300 stamina points, any kind is fine. This way, even if I die in this instance, you won't suffer too much."
Zhong Rui raised his eyebrows, quite surprised. This clearly meant that he didn't want to owe anyone a favor. Unconsciously, he thought of Su Han.
"Give me two." Zhong Rui began to bargain.
The young girl's eyelids twitched, and she couldn't help but raise her voice, "Precious grade armor! There are only two of them!! It can resist stabs and bullets, and it's very practical!"
"Do you have any other protective gear? Give me two pieces of rare quality." Zhong Rui settled for the next best option.
The young girl thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Protective vest? It can protect against stabs and bullets, but it can only protect the upper body."
"Okay." Zhong Rui made the decision and took out many kinds of medicines, including bandages, anti-inflammatory drugs, ointments, hemostatic powders and everything else.
The young girl couldn't believe it and whispered, "Did you rob a drugstore?!"
Zhong Rui grinned, "It's not robbery, it's just buying things with money."
The young girl was speechless. She threw out two protective vests, then used medicine impatiently to raise her physical strength to 90%, and then she let out a long breath.
On the second day of entering the dungeon, she finally felt safe again.
Zhong Rui put the vest into his personal storage, but he was quite curious, "How could he be in a near-death state when he clearly had protective gear?"
The young girl was helpless. She laughed at herself, "Maybe it's because other people think that girls are easy to bully when they are alone? I was attacked by many people last night, and all my medicines were used up. If I didn't have protective gear, I would have collapsed long ago."
"Good luck to you." Zhong Rui was very satisfied with the unexpected gain. As for the promise of "never becoming enemies", he didn't really care whether the other party would keep it.
After searching the gambling room and the storage room, Zhong Rui realized that the other two seriously injured patients he had found earlier were no longer there. He didn't know whether they had been rescued, met the criminals, or simply didn't survive and turned into white light.
Zhong Rui didn't take it seriously and returned to room 201 after walking around.
At that time, Su Han was cooking noodles in the room.
Cai Sheng was responsible for chopping the chairs into pieces of wood and then adding them to the brazier.
Su Han used a pot to boil mineral water, then added the seasoning packet and noodles. Then, she felt it was not enough, so she sliced the fish and cut the squid into several pieces and added them to the noodles to cook together.
The rich flavor of instant noodles mixed with the aroma of seafood is enough to make you salivate with cravings.
Cai Sheng swallowed his saliva and felt extremely hungry. He urgently needed to eat a lot of noodles and seafood!
Su Han had no intention of starting to eat right away, but turned around to deal with the pigeons.
After a while, she took the instant noodles and the pot away, then changed to a new pot and started stewing pigeon soup.
Cai Sheng turned his head away, unwilling to watch any more - if he continued to watch, he always felt that he would not be able to hold back and reach out his evil hand. However, his fighting ability was obviously not as good as that of the big boss, and the end of disobedience would definitely be miserable. Therefore, he could only endure it with all his might.
But there was no broth in sight, but the aroma kept drifting into his nose. Cai Sheng closed his eyes in pain, feeling that he was undergoing a great test.
There was a knock on the door, and Zhong Rui's voice sounded at the same time, "It's me, open the door."
Cai Sheng was excited and ran to open the door. He thought that now that everyone was here, the next step would be to have dinner.
As soon as he entered the room, Zhong Rui smelled an unusual fragrance and quickly closed the door.
Su Han said casually, "Are you here? Dinner is ready, let's eat together."
Cai Sheng was overjoyed and couldn't wait to serve the noodles. Suddenly, he remembered something, his face tensed, and he sat down obediently beside him, saying righteously, "The big guys serve first, I'll be the last one to eat." There's no other way, living under someone else's roof is so miserable, and knowing your place is the only way to avoid being hated.
Su Han didn't care. "It doesn't matter who comes first or last. Anyway, there is enough food. If it's not enough, we can cook more."
As she spoke, she took the lead in serving herself instant noodles, noodle soup, squid tentacles and fish fillets and began to eat them happily.
Zhong Rui was not polite and filled a bowl for himself. He first took the bowl in front of him, took a deep breath, and then picked up his chopsticks.
Cai Sheng wanted to have a big meal, but was afraid of being disliked, so he only had half a bowl of noodles.
"You've paid the rent, so you can eat without worry." Zhong Rui said suddenly.
Cai Sheng raised his head, his eyes full of hope, "Can I really eat whatever I want?"
"Eat it." Zhong Rui said calmly, "I caught quite a few fish. I can't even finish them."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cai Sheng quickly picked up several pieces of fish fillet for himself and started eating happily.
While eating, Zhong Rui started chatting, "According to my observation, there are no more fights between players, and the situation has temporarily stabilized."
Su Han was a little speechless, "Are you kidding? On the deck, in front of everyone, I was almost robbed, okay?"
Zhong Rui also felt strange when he heard this. He had witnessed it with his own eyes, so why did he subconsciously ignore it and think it was not a fight?
Maybe it’s because the battle ended too quickly and without suspense!
Zhong Rui changed his words and said, "Perhaps there will still be local conflicts, but the frequency will obviously decrease."
Su Han agreed with this statement, "Indeed, at least no one comes knocking on the door to cause trouble anymore."
"In the past few days, I have tried my best to fish and catch birds to solve the problem of food." Zhong Rui said seriously, "I don't know how long other players will be quiet. Once supplies are scarce, they will have to fight to obtain the necessary survival supplies."
Su Han nodded, "I have also thought about this problem. On a cruise ship, there is a serious shortage of daily necessities and water resources, so we can only consume the inventory. If the stock is not sufficient, in order to survive, we can only steal from others."
"By the way," Zhong Rui took out a protective vest from his personal storage and threw it to Su Han, "Take this."
Protective vest: After wearing it, the damage from cold weapon attacks is reduced by 5, and the damage from hot weapon attacks is reduced by 8. (Only protect the upper body)
Su Han shook his head and threw the things back, "No merit, no reward."
Zhong Rui was quite displeased and threw the vest over again, "Then consider it as a return gift for dinner."
Su Han was speechless for a while and continued to throw the clothes back. "It's just a few fish. Why do you need to give me a protective vest?"
"Take it." Zhong Rui insisted.
"Stop it." Su Han insisted.
Cai Sheng, "..."
He had a look of despair on his face and felt that the meal was completely inedible.
Zhong Rui calmed himself down, his expression serious and his tone particularly solemn, "Take it, it's good for both you and me. I am very satisfied with the current situation and have no intention of changing teammates."
Su Han was silent. Why did it sound like if she accepted the vest, the other party would be grateful and thankful? Wasn't this plot wrong? Besides, they were not teammates... they were just more familiar than strangers.
Zhong Rui looked indifferent and said calmly, "If you don't want it, you can throw it away."
This guy...
Su Han had no choice but to take the protective vest in his hand and accept the other party's kindness. "Thank you very much."
Zhong Rui's expression eased slightly and he continued to eat dinner.
Cai Sheng kept muttering in his heart, "Show your affection, die quickly!" Then he turned his grief and anger into appetite and stuffed food into his mouth desperately.
After eating and drinking, Su Han said, "Let's live separately." The three of them stayed in the same room, and she was afraid that she would suffer from insomnia.
Zhong Rui nodded and agreed readily, "Rooms 202 and 203 next door are empty. Cai Sheng and I will each have one. If you need anything, just shout at me anytime. We're right next door anyway, so we can hear you."
"Yeah." Su Han responded softly.
Cai Sheng believed that he had no right to speak, so he obeyed the arrangements without saying a word.
Night falls.
Su Han took advantage of the night to open the window to ventilate the room and dispel the smell of instant noodles. Then she sat by the window, feeling the sea breeze and sorting out her thoughts.
The situation has been stabilized for the time being, but the hidden dangers are still there. Who is the one who poisoned the person? How many people are there? Are these people out now, or are they hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike? Do they have other poisons? Or are these people actually planning the next attack?
After thinking for a long time without any clue, Su Han had to give up with regret. "I have many curious questions, but now I can only take it one day at a time."
