Chapter 55 This is a different price
Chen Leying narrowed her eyes, staring thoughtfully at the message sent by Meng Qingyin.
"Every man for himself" is a life motto she has always believed in, and it has become even stronger after entering this game.
Ultimately, Meng Qingyin and she are the same kind of people, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Moreover, Meng Qingyin was right when she said that time was of the essence for her mission.
Collaborating with Meng Qingyin is currently her best option.
However, before that, she needed to find out what Meng Qingyin wanted her to do.
Chen Leying had an idea and directly converted her voice message to text: "Cooperation is something I can consider, but you need to tell me first what you want me to do for you."
Meng Qingyin was waiting anxiously when she saw Chen Leying finally send a message. She replied, "Help me deliver the goods to Zheng Shi of the Robbery Alliance. This is my high-level escort mission."
She didn't hide anything and told Chen Leying about her mission.
Chen Leying had finally agreed, so she was determined to dispel the other party's concerns.
Tell her about your task; perhaps she'll see your sincerity.
Chen Leying: "The Robbery Alliance? Are they NPCs or players?"
Meng Qingyin hesitated for a moment: "They are NPCs. I must tell you frankly that all the robbers we have encountered along the way are from the Robbery Alliance."
Regardless of whether Chen Leying ultimately agrees to cooperate with her, she has the right to know about the Robbery Alliance.
Chen Leying: "So, you want me to deliver goods to a gang of bandits? Aren't you worried they'll kill me?"
Mengmeng: "They won't kill anyone, and I will protect you secretly."
Zheng Shi said that the people in their alliance only robbed money and did not kill.
She also observed the escort channel. Some of the players who were robbed lost their goods, while others were beaten up. No players were killed—of course, it's also possible that the players who were killed would never be able to speak again.
However, she felt that the Horde would not kill players.
Moreover, Chen Leying had no grudges against them. She was a bodyguard who delivered goods to Zheng Shi. Why would they kill her?
Even when two countries are at war, they don't kill their envoys, let alone the bodyguards who are delivering goods to them.
but……
Meng Qingyin needed to confirm one thing: "You didn't kill anyone from the Robbery Alliance, did you?"
Chen Leying: "...No, I just drugged them."
Mengmeng: "Isn't that settled? You have no grudges against each other, so they won't try to kill you. Besides, I will protect you secretly."
Chen Leying: "Why didn't you deliver it yourself?"
Mengmeng: "Uh... I have a personal grudge against Zheng Shi, so it's inconvenient for me to come forward."
Zheng Shi, the one who was supposed to be robbing the caravan, was instead robbed by her. He must be furious. Once she leaves, the consequences are unpredictable.
Chen Leying didn't reply again. A minute later, she sent a message: "Okay, deal."
Meng Qingyin was pleasantly surprised, "Okay, then I'll wait for you here for an hour!"
Chen Leying didn't reply, and Meng Qingyin didn't mind, so she started browsing the chat section out of boredom.
Half an hour later, she heard the roar of a car engine from behind.
Meng Qingyin glanced at the rearview mirror and saw a black SUV speeding towards her.
The road has two lanes, and her RV is parked on the side of the road, so it won't affect the normal driving of the off-road vehicle.
But... I'm afraid the visitors may have ill intentions.
Meng Qingyin was on high alert, staring intently at the SUV.
The SUV arrived in the blink of an eye and stopped behind the RV.
Meng Qingyin picked up the stun gun without getting out of the car.
After the vehicle came to a stop, a beautiful woman got out and walked to the driver's side window of the RV, wearing a pair of red high heels.
Before Meng Qingyin could speak, she reached out and knocked on the window, getting straight to the point: "I am Chen Leying."
At the same time, Meng Qingyin also saw her information clearly, and it was indeed Chen Leying.
She arrived so quickly?
Meng Qingyin got out of the car and walked up to Chen Leying.
Upon closer inspection, the woman before me was even more stunning; her skin was so smooth that pores were almost invisible, and her complexion was snow-white.
A hint of amazement flashed in Meng Qingyin's eyes as she extended her hand and said in a friendly manner, "Hello."
Who doesn't like to look at pretty girls?
Chen Leying's attitude was not so warm. She did not shake Meng Qingyin's hand, but took out a gold chest from her system backpack.
"These are your goods." Her voice was rather cold.
Meng Qingyin didn't answer, but instead asked, "How much time do you have left for your mission?"
Chen Leying was a smart woman and instantly understood her intention: "You want to wait until my mission is almost over before you sign for it? In the meantime, I'll go with you to do your mission?"
Meng Qingyin said with admiration, "Dealing with smart people is so much easier, what do you think?"
She wasn't sure if there would be any new missions after the advanced escort mission. What if Chen Leying completed the mission and teleported away? Where would she find someone else to help her deliver the goods?
“Sure,” Chen Leying readily agreed. “I still have more than three hours.”
Meng Qingyin: "Three hours is enough, let's set off now."
Chen Leying put away the gold box and returned to her SUV.
Meng Qingyin returned to the RV, started the engine, and continued driving.
Along the way, they encountered several more robbers. Meng Qingyin used a stun gun to knock them unconscious, and then the two of them worked together to clear away the spikes.
Three hours later, Meng Qingyin arrived near Highway 444 following the map.
A large courtyard stands by the roadside, with houses arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern.
This is the headquarters of the Robber Alliance.
Meng Qingyin put the gold box into her system backpack and got off the car, and Chen Leying also came over.
She was holding a gold chest in her hands. "There are still 3 minutes left in the mission. Sign for it first. Don't worry, even if there are no more missions later, you won't be teleported away immediately."
Meng Qingyin nodded and took the gold box from her hands.
When she saw the task completed, a smile finally appeared in Chen Leying's eyes.
"Give me your goods." The smile vanished in an instant, and Chen Leying said to Meng Qingyin in a flat tone.
“Okay, remember to give this to Zheng Shi,” Meng Qingyin thought for a moment, then took out the elite token, “and give this to Zheng Shi for me as well.”
Chen Leying: "What is this?"
Meng Qingyin: "If they ask about the tokens inside their organization, just say you found them."
This elite token is useless to her now, so she might as well return it to Zheng Shi.
Chen Leying curled the corners of her lips, "That's a different price."
Meng Qingyin: "...What do you want?"
If Chen Leying wanted too much, she might as well just throw the token on the ground.
Chen Leying: "I just saw that you planted peas in your RV. Give me a pound of pea shoots."
Fruits and vegetables are scarce here, and pea shoots can provide essential vitamins.
Meng Qingyin has so many in her RV, she probably won't refuse.
Meng Qingyin: "Okay."
Cutting off a pound of pea shoots will restore them to their original lush state in less than an hour, without affecting condensation.
Chen Leying took the token, put it in her pants pocket, and then walked towards the gate of the courtyard carrying the gold box.
Fearing an accident, Meng Qingyin went back to the RV to get a sun hat and put it on, then found a gas mask and put it on as well, before following at a distance.
