Sheh suspected that if it was indeed black mist, then it was looking for her, but Shi Jinzhe had set up an array on the artificial island, so the thing hadn't had time to find her yet.
The only thing she couldn't understand was, if it was looking for her, why would the system send all the players in this world into the instance?
As the only one who had come into close contact with the anomaly, Jiang Ziya stroked her chin in thought.
"Envy, allure..."
Jiang kept repeating the same thing over and over, but when he said it in reverse, he suddenly stopped.
"It can tempt me because I have something I want. Everyone has desires. I can resist them, but others may not be able to."
Jiang explained the logic: "Players have different qualities. Some play the game for life and enjoy the dungeons, while others achieve success and get rich in the game."
But this is only a small portion. A large number of players face extremely difficult circumstances. At an even lower level, there are even players who evade the game or cheat. They endure countless near-death experiences, and their desires are undoubtedly stronger than the average person. If a straw appears at that point, it's hard to guarantee that some won't take the bait!
Upon hearing the words "cheating player," Shi Jinzhe agreed, saying, "That makes a lot of sense. Newcomers who haven't been in the game long are unfamiliar with many tricks and are prone to thinking that since there's such a magical thing as a game, it's not surprising if there's another one. You know, when people are desperate, they want to grab onto everything."
"So, the player who was in the car accident was bewitched in the game," Shekh said, tapping his fingers. "He knew he was going to die, so he took a chance and accepted the bewitching, bringing the black mist from that world into this place."
“It’s working, that must be it.” Jiang snapped his fingers. “The black mist you mentioned can allow players to enter different worlds, so the system needs to remove it all before players are affected, to prevent it from harming more worlds.”
Shekh: "But the system doesn't seem to have a good solution for the black fog. In Block City, it can be cut off from communication by the black fog. Even if the system sends all the players away, how can it deal with the black fog?"
"Oh dear, that's true..." Jiang Zi sighed.
Now that Schechn has said that, it seems like the system is a bit useless.
"But we've managed to get out of the dungeon, so the problem must be solved, right?"
"I don't know, let's eat first." Shekh had been smelling the aroma for a while and was very hungry.
"It's time to eat." Even if Jiang Yu had a secret stash of money, her spending level had never increased to this extent. Every bite was worth RMB, and she felt the pinch from eating it.
Midway through the meal, Jiang Ling received a phone call. After listening for a few minutes, he sneered at the person on the other end of the phone, "They're the first people to hire a high-level player to carry them through a dungeon and then renege on the deal by not paying the balance. Tell these two siblings that if the money isn't transferred by midnight tonight, I'll keep them in the game forever, no matter how I carried them through the dungeon."
"Don't give me that 'mutual help' thing. Let's keep things separate. Ask these two if they'd like to be friends with the female ghost in the dungeon. If not, they should just give her money."
Jiang hung up the phone in a huff, and Shi Jinzhe asked curiously, "How much do you price people when you bring them? I ran into Fu Guan last time, and he said he brings 40 million for one event."
"That's so expensive. So this price is for veteran players who don't have enough points and will definitely lose if they fail."
Shekh asked, "Would anyone still not leave any points?"
"Hey~ I have to tell you about this. There are a lot of unexpected things in the game. Let's take the Block City example again. Do you remember those two players who died in the square? They had played more than eight rounds and bought a 300-point Soul-Soothing Incense stick."
Jiang Yi spread his hands: "Look, all the points they've accumulated are gone. Even if they survive to clear the game, the next game will be very dangerous."
"I see." Shekh had never failed to pass a level before and hadn't considered this possibility.
Thinking of this, she remembered something very important.
The system didn't let her draw the beginner skill.
What a loss.
Even though I know for sure that I might draw a useless card, I still feel like I'm losing out.
Shi Jinzhe picked up a piece of pork rib for her and asked, "Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
Shehe looked around. She wasn't sitting very upright either. How did Shi Jinzhe know that?
"Stop looking. I know what you're up to the moment you wiggle your tail."
Jiang stared intently at the ground: "But she hasn't shown her tail yet."
"Just think about it and you'll know."
Jiang Jin: "..."
"As expected of you, your tastes are so detached from the masses; most people would never think of that."
Shi Jinzhe said, "Don't laugh at someone who has taken fifty steps when they themselves have taken a hundred."
"…OK."
Jiang picked up her chopsticks and took another bite of food. After holding back for a while, she couldn't help but ask Shehe, "Can you tolerate the way he talks normally?"
"Well enough."
After considering it for a moment, Shekh said, "I quite like it."
After thinking for two more seconds, she changed her words, "I like it very much."
Shi Jinzhe replied, "I also really enjoy listening to you talk."
Jiang Jin: "Hehe."
She didn't ask any unnecessary questions.
No, she's here; she's superfluous.
After finally finishing their meal, the three said their goodbyes.
When they parted, Shi Jinzhe stopped Jiang Yi and insisted on sharing the news of his successful marriage proposal with her.
Jiang forced a smile. "I sincerely wish you all the best, but jealousy is making me look distorted. I can't smile. Please bear with it. If you ever have a wedding, please remember to send me an invitation."
“It will happen,” Shekh said. “I’ll tell my friends tomorrow too.”
"Your... friend?" Jiang Yu was skeptical. Wasn't she supposed to be Sher's only human friend?
Isn't she the only one?
Shi Jinzhe: "She said her good friend was a snake."
"Okay, fine."
Jiang was not surprised at all; barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would definitely see Animal World at the couple's wedding.
