After peeling a plate of crayfish, Shi Jinzhe took off his disposable gloves, wiped his hands twice with a wet wipe, and then began to eat.
Shekh picked up a piece of meat from the self-heating pot and fed it to him. "I can't guess that in two minutes, everyone in the restaurant will start feeding each other."
Shi Jinzhe: "In less than two minutes, people have already started learning."
The table next to them had already started feeding each other. Shech glanced over and saw nearly forty people feeding each other, a strange and funny scene.
"I usually find it too cheesy, but I can do it all now, and I'm quite skilled at it."
"Because of the fear of death, the essence of doing this is still for oneself." Shi Jinzhe didn't look at others much, and ate as usual with Shehe.
...
"Oh, I don't want to eat it."
An extremely impatient female voice broke the silence, slapping her teammate's hand away from the other side of the table.
The male player opposite her wiped his hands with a tablecloth, and as he did so, a few oil spots appeared on his white hoodie. He seemed not to notice, staring at his teammate with a helpless expression and thick eyebrows, looking quite innocent.
"Li Jun, have one. Didn't you hear those players at that table say that becoming lovers takes time?"
"Well, no one else ate either. If you want to eat, eat it yourself. Why should I eat it? I don't want to eat it, I don't want to eat it, I've said it so many times, don't you understand?"
Li Jun wiped the red oil off her lips with the back of her hand in disgust. Perhaps because she was being stared at too many times, she took two deep breaths, sat up straight again, and lowered her voice to control her emotions.
"Xue Zhen, dating should be a gradual process. Your forceful behavior is not a proper way to date. Even if you follow the formula, you have to make adjustments to suit yourself. They can do it because they are already a couple, but I have only known you for a day. I don't want to eat what you feed me!"
Are you disgusted with me?
Li Jun's eyes lingered on his hand, and she really wanted to nod emphatically in agreement, because she just didn't like it.
He dressed up like a proper gentleman, but when he went to the toilet, he didn't even turn over the toilet seat or clean up the urine stains on it. Who knows if Xue Zhen washed his hands when he peeled shrimp?
Some people might be able to tolerate it, but she couldn't. She was a germaphobe, and she really couldn't swallow that piece of shrimp.
Li Jun buried her head in her rice, not even picking up any side dishes, just eating plain rice. Across from her, Xue Zhen's head was bowed low, and his expression was not visible.
After listening to Shehe's entire account, Shi Jinzhe's gaze focused on Xue Zhen's white hoodie, where there were several oil spots the size of fingernails.
Shekh leaned closer: "What are you looking at, his chest?"
"Stop fooling around, I'm looking at the oil stains on his clothes." Shi Jinzhe leaned over and whispered to Shehe, "His lifestyle might be a bit sloppy."
"How did you figure that out?"
“Ordinary people don’t need to be particularly clean. Even a slightly lazy person would react to oil splattered on their clothes, instinctively wiping it or slightly hunching over to avoid the oil stains seeping through their clothes onto their body. In short, they would make some movement. This player named Xue Zhen has been keeping his head down for so long without making any movement. How could he not notice?”
Shekh didn't take it seriously. "Maybe he's killed too many people and isn't moved by anything red."
"But Li Jun won't even touch the food anymore."
Shekh glanced over there again and found that it was indeed the case.
Why is Li Jun avoiding Xue Zhen, who lives under the same roof?
“Perhaps you’re right,” Shekh said. “If I want to avoid everything about you, it must be because you’ve done something I can’t stand.”
"If I were to do something you couldn't tolerate, you would probably just kill me instead of avoiding me."
"My husband understands me so well."
"Isn't this what you always say? You'll take me with you even if you die."
"I will do it."
"What a touching vow."
Behind them, Liang Fengzhi dipped his brush in water and wrote, asking Lin Xian, "Do you players express your love with such unwavering devotion, even unto death?"
[It's not us players, it's them.]
[They are special.] Liang Fengzhi knew too little about the game to have any idea. She could only see that Shi Jinzhe and Shehe were imitated by others, as if these two were the correct answers.
[It's quite unique. A few days ago, someone on the forum said they cleared a 65-point survival dungeon with them, and everyone did it without taking any damage, so everyone is copying them.]
Lin Xian didn't know how to explain the significance of the phrase "everyone cleared the level without taking damage" to Liang Fengzhi. After thinking for a long time, she said, "As long as they are willing, even a pig can clear the level if they lead a pig."
"..." Liang Fengzhi laughed when he heard this. He had found the reason why this kid was dumped by his ex-girlfriend.
After lunch, the players in the restaurant dispersed again, and once there was no one left to observe, the four of them headed back.
As soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, he saw the female player who had been spared by Sher in the morning waiting at the end of the corridor, talking to Xue Zhen.
Li Jun has disappeared without a trace.
Shi Jin changed his route and took the stairs, hiding in the emergency exit. He left a crack in the door, and Lin Xian suggested that he go upstairs to take a look. He strode upstairs.
At the entrance, Shi Jinzhe looked and Shehe listened, and the two put on a show, recreating the conversation between Xue Zhen and the female player.
Sheh: "Her name is Zhu Yueyin. She was trying to persuade Xue Zhen to team up with her. During the meal, she kept observing the people and noticed that Xue Zhen and Li Jun had a conflict, so she decided to start with that group."
Shi Jinzhe: "She's not too stupid, but I don't know what reason she can use to persuade Xue Zhen."
The two people in the corridor were pulling and tugging at each other. Zhu Yueyin kept talking non-stop, and finally, she had no choice but to reveal her skill card.
"A two-character player?"
Shi Jinzhe and Shehe were both surprised. Zhu Yueyin's performance was not like that of a high-level player; at most, she was only slightly better than a complete novice.
Zhu Yueyin quickly put the card away after showing it only briefly. Shi Jinzhe adjusted his vision and saw that the card was called "Poison Heart," and the skill description contained the words "Poison Pain and Heartbreak."
"She's someone who uses poison, but none of the players have been poisoned or experienced any negative effects yet. I guess she doesn't know how to use it, or..."
“Or it might not work.” Shekh continued, his thoughts echoing Shi Jinzhe’s. “Remember that post we saw before we came in? The drop rate of disqualified cards has increased.”
So far, all the high-level players they've encountered—Jiang Ziya, Fu Guanzai, Qi Yuping, including the less experienced Ye Zhan, the fallen Yang Wenxin, the incompatible Zhuang Zexian, and even Gao Fei, who is suspected to be a high-level player in this instance—have all demonstrated corresponding abilities. Although their strengths vary, none of them are truly weak.
Even Shen Shu, who also used the Disqualified Card, was the only survivor among the previous batch of players in Block City.
These people might not be able to beat Shekh, but none of them would be so scared that they would sit still and not dare to move. Therefore, Zhu Yueyin could only be a new player who just drew the Disqualified Card.
Shi Jinzhe: "She must have read the forum and knows that she can't easily reveal the skill card. Plus, she doesn't know how to use this card, so she's only daring to say it now in order to survive."
"Yes, Xue Zhen shook."
Less than half a minute after Shekh finished speaking, Xue Zhen removed his bracelet, exchanged tokens with Zhu Yueyin, and abandoned his teammate Li Jun.
