The fact that the guide pointer changed slowly reassured Shi Jinzhe.
The fact that you don't need to change routes frequently proves that the large trees in the Misty Forest are not particularly dangerous; the real danger may come from something you haven't encountered yet.
During the journey, he asked Ji Hui, "Did you just stumble upon us randomly, or did you use props to recognize your teammates?"
"We kept heading east without changing direction, and then we ran into you guys. On the way, we encountered two players from another division, and I killed them both."
Ji Hui examined Shi Jinzhe's expression; it remained unchanged, even better than he had imagined.
He was afraid of being wiped out because his skills were related to his life, so he might have had a savior complex or a saintly mentality, but it seems he doesn't.
With his heart at ease, Ji Hui explained the reason: "Only the first-ranked faction gets points. We'll run into them sooner or later, so it's better to strike first and reduce the number of members in that faction. Some factions may not seem impressive on their own, but they can be very troublesome to coordinate. What if there's a player who's good at commanding? Getting them to gather together would be a problem for us. I was able to handle those two, so I killed them."
"That's good." Shi Jinzhe reaffirmed that this would be a very worry-free teammate.
Shekh tilted his head back and looked at Ji Hui, "Do you get points for killing him?"
Ji Hui: "Here you go, player's existing points +10."
Shekh: "Did the skill card drop?"
Ji Hui: "No, neither of them fell."
"...No card was lost again." Shekh was disappointed; the system was really stingy.
Shi Jinzhe comforted her, "You got 4,000 points this round, cheer up."
"Four thousand is still a long way off. We'll talk about it when it actually comes to fruition." Shekh didn't eat his bread and focused on giving directions.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, and just when Ji Hui was about to ask Shi Jinzhe if he wasn't tired from carrying people on his back all the time, he stopped.
"Let's rest for three hours."
He conjured two logs, laid them horizontally on the ground, spread out a piece of clothing for Sheikh to sit on, and then sat down next to her.
Ji Hui and Jin Shu sat down on another table, not as formal as the other two, with their legs crossed and backs bent to stretch their stiff bodies.
Jin Shuhe yawned, took out a piece of bread and ate it silently, glancing at the sky and the ground occasionally and "inadvertently" as he looked at the ground.
Shi Jinzhe noticed it and, in the act of handing Shehe water, flicked an inconspicuous seed.
"It's still a forest dozens of kilometers away. I don't know if the other two teammates will be able to successfully rendezvous with us."
Shekh: "Let's pray they're alive first, in case we all go in opposite directions and never meet again in this lifetime."
There are also idiots in the regional points competition. With her, Shi Jinzhe, and Ji Hui who seems to have good strength, based on the principle of equal strength, it's questionable whether she can even survive to meet those two.
The self-heating rice emitted an enticing aroma. Sher waited a while before the meal was served.
Ji Hui took a bite of the ham wrap and enjoyed the aroma. Sheherian ate three meals, including three wraps, and then downed a bottle of mineral water, feeling quite full.
Jin Shuhe kept swallowing. He had never met such a pleasure-seeking player before. He could tolerate eating bread as a substitute, but now that he had met one, he couldn't swallow his food.
This bread is so hard to swallow, it's really choking.
He secretly went to see Shi Jinzhe again, and the discussions about him on the forum came to mind.
He's amazing in the game, and he's amazing in real life too.
It rained heavily for five days in the original world, and he stayed at home scrolling through his phone for five days. Before entering the game, he saw online that Shi Jinzhe's company had donated a lot of supplies, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, in huge quantities.
Jin Shuhe forced down the dry bread, but still wasn't full, so he bought some cheap candy to fill his stomach for one point.
The industrial saccharin was too sweet, so he only took a small sip of water to dilute the taste. When he looked up, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Sher had moved to one end of the wood and let Shi Jinzhe lie on her lap for a while.
"Take a nap, I'll keep an eye on things."
"Okay, wake me up if you're tired."
...
Forgot that he also has a wife with whom he has a very good relationship, who is also a gamer and very skilled at it.
Although many people on the forum say he lives off a woman, if you ask those people if they want to live off a woman, 99% of them would say yes.
Jin Shuhe thought to himself that Shi Jinzhe's conditions were very good.
He has no parents, no relatives. In the original world, he was a great philanthropist who donated money and goods. In the game, he is someone who doesn't even blink when he hears other players die. Even Ji Hui tacitly listens to him.
Regardless, he's rich, has status, possesses two skills, has a wife who's also a high-level player, and is even quite handsome...
This person has everything; there's no need for them to bother getting anything else…
“If you look at him again, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”
Jin Shuhe was startled, and when he came to his senses, he saw Shekh facing him.
Beneath the translucent ribbon, her purple eyes shimmered with a purple light, so clear that they could see into one's heart, allowing Jin Shuhe to see her murderous intent.
"I...I didn't mean to do anything, I was just curious..."
"I don't need teammates, so the constraints of being on the same side are useless to me."
Shekh didn't move his legs, but twisted his waist, braced his arms on the edge of the log, and leaned forward. Even though he was still more than two meters away from Jin Shuhe, he exuded a strong sense of pressure.
Jin Shuhe immediately lowered his head, his chin almost touching his chest, "I was really just curious, not..."
"Give me the skill card."
Jin Shuhe had never heard such a matter-of-fact tone before, and reflexively retorted, "How can I give this to you?! What would I do if I did?"
Shekh frowned. "Give me the card, and I'll spare your life."
This man spied on Shi Jinzhe many times along the way, his gaze full of searching and scrutiny, just like a merchant waiting for a price to be paid for his goods.
He's just like the human traffickers in movies, constantly weighing the value of his targets, and he looks like he has ill intentions.
Jin Shuhe stood up and backed away repeatedly, "No, I can't give it to..."
This is the only way he can change his life; I can't give it to him, I absolutely can't give it to him.
Jin Shuhe looked to Ji Hui for help, but Ji Hui closed his eyes and fell asleep.
...
He knew it!
Indeed, one needs a good identity and impressive skills to have a voice.
Jin Shuhechongshehe softened, "I was just in a hurry, I..."
His toes suddenly stiffened, and white stones began to wrap around his body from the soles of his feet, forcibly halting his movements.
The petrification struck unexpectedly; his pupils dilated, unable to believe that Shekh was really going to kill his own teammates.
Their bodies froze. Jin Shuhe shook his head, pleading with Sheh not to continue. Just as the pain was about to spread to his shoulders, a series of sudden gunshots rang out among the four of them.
The protective formation instantly blocked the damage, and the healing took effect quickly. Sheh turned his head and aimed at two unfamiliar players in the far distance.
They moved incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, the two were right in front of each other.
The bullet left the barrel, and Shekh grabbed the petrified Jin Shuhe, grabbed his head, and pointed the bullet at his forehead.
Unexpectedly, the bullet suddenly veered off course as it approached. Shekh leaned back, and the attacker, who was so fast that he left an afterimage, moved behind her before she could react.
Two throwing knives came flying at him, but the man once again dodged first, even managing to dodge the invisible golden threads that seemed to break at the end of time.
He immediately suggested, "There is a way to anticipate actions in advance."
Upon mentioning Jin Shuhe, Shi Jinzhe began to stack a life balance array on his body.
