Chapter 208, Don't Talk to Strangers
Ji Xinghan and Yang Tingxue started chatting.
She asked curiously, "Have you watched many chat channels in different districts?"
Yang Tingxue said smugly, "Yeah, I like to gossip. I watch other channels every day to read gossip, and sometimes I can even get some different information."
He recounted in detail: "For example, there was a very, very strong woman who came out of a certain district. She didn't establish a guild, but she became an honorary elder of many large guilds. She was the undisputed leader in that district. Because of her rule, the player survival rate in that district was extremely high!"
"For example, there was a couple in one server who had some kind of strange skill, but they were really wicked. They made life miserable for the players in that server. In one server, 40,000 to 50,000 people died..."
Ji Xinghan listened patiently, and finally, he heard the key point:
"Also, something strange happened in District 89. The 'Sound Location' card was cheap at the card sales point in the Ice and Snow Service Area, and many people bought it. As a result, people started looking for revenge after leaving the service area. District 89 is quite lively now."
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "'Sound location detection' must be very cheap, right?"
Yang Tingxue: "That's right. A piece of clothing with good attribute points can be exchanged for one card, but everyone is always looking for revenge, so I guess there aren't many of these cards left."
Ji Xinghan had an idea.
She bought a "cross-region card" at the service area, which allows her to travel to region 89 and buy a few "sound location identification" cards!
Wouldn't that allow us to track down Ji Wenqiao?
Currently, very few players know how to use location services, and even if they do, they can only use them once a day, which is too difficult to use. Since there are no trustworthy players, it's better to use cards instead.
Ji Xinghan casually took out a pair of boots with attributes and sent them to Yang Tingxue, saying, "Thank you for sharing my information. Here, take these boots."
Yang Tingxue was overjoyed to receive the boots: "Thank you so much, Boss! You're so generous, haha. From now on, I'll be your personal information officer. I'll keep you informed of any new developments!"
After ending his conversation with Yang Tingxue, Ji Xinghan stuffed many pieces of warm clothing he had made himself into his storage backpack, along with various other supplies.
Once ready, she took out her inter-regional access card.
[Cross-Server Card: Allows free movement between servers, valid for 2 hours!]
【Use or not?】
"yes!"
Please select a server/region?
A series of server numbers appeared in front of Ji Xinghan, starting from 001 and continuing indefinitely. She directly selected "Server 89".
[You will be randomly teleported to any location in District 89. Teleportation is imminent. Please prepare, 3, 2, 1!]
With a "whoosh," Ji Xinghan swayed, and then a terrified yet slightly childish scream was heard: "Ah..."
"Bang!" Ji Xinghan crashed into a soft body.
"Sister Xiangxiang, please don't do this, ah, I'm still young..." a voice rang out.
Ji Xinghan suddenly felt a void beneath her and fell to the ground with a thud. She quickly got up.
"You're not Sister Xiangxiang? Who are you?" A terrified voice rang out again, coming from not far away, just two or three meters away.
However, the light here is too dim. Ji Xinghan's eyes are not used to the bright light here, and he can't see anything!
Alarmed, she quickly stepped back until her back touched the cold wall before she stopped.
It took a while for her eyes to adjust to the light.
In the dim light, she saw a terrified face not far away.
He was a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a fair and delicate face, big eyes, and a straight nose. He was very good-looking.
His eyes were filled with fear, and he shrank back into the corner, watching Ji Xinghan warily.
Ji Xinghan glanced at it and then stopped!
She was in a bedroom, which was only a dozen square meters and about five or six meters high. There was only a small window at a very high point, and it seemed that something was blocking the window, making it difficult for light to enter and causing the place to be very dark.
There was a door, but it was very heavy and seemed to be made of iron.
This... could it be a prison cell?
Ji Xinghan glanced around again. There was only a small single bed in the room, and a small single table next to the bed. There was nothing else.
The boy had chains on his ankles and wrists.
Ji Xinghan understood; this was definitely a prison cell. But who was abusing their power?
Also, the game announcement said that everyone who comes here must be at least 18 years old. Why does this boy in front of me look so young? He doesn't look 18 at all.
She scrutinized the boy, who looked at her with fear and stammered, "W-how did you get in?"
Ji Xinghan gritted his teeth inwardly.
This random teleportation was such a coincidence; it actually teleported her to the prison!
Ji Xinghan ignored the boy, walked to the door, and tried to open it, but after shaking it for a long time, he still couldn't open it.
This is an iron gate, and it's quite sturdy.
Ji Xinghan turned around and asked, "Who arrested you?"
The boy's eyes darted around: "Xiang... Sister Xiangxiang..."
Ji Xinghan asked in surprise, "Who is Sister Xiangxiang? She's your relative, so why did she lock you up?"
The boy blushed and said, "I...I did something wrong."
Ji Xinghan scrutinized the boy closely. Wasn't he too honest? Answering every question? Was he playing dumb to deceive others?
She continued, "What did you do wrong?"
The boy lowered his eyes: "I...I talked to a stranger..."
Ji Xinghan was shocked. Just because he talked to a stranger, he was locked up by this Sister Xiangxiang?
What's wrong with saying something?
That Xiangxiang sister is too violent!
The boy suddenly covered his mouth, leaving only his large eyes exposed, which were filled with fear: "Ah, you are a stranger too. I can't talk to you, otherwise, Sister Xiangxiang will punish me again."
Ji Xinghan asked in confusion, "Punish you?"
The boy continued to cover his mouth: "Um, Sister Xiangxiang said she was going to lock me up for 5 hours, but it's been a whole day and night, and she still hasn't let me go..."
Five hours? That's the time it takes to get to the service area.
Ji Xinghan's heart skipped a beat: "Starting from 9 o'clock yesterday? You didn't go to the service area?"
The boy blinked his big, innocent eyes: "What service area? Sister Xiangxiang won't let me go there."
Ji Xinghan was surprised. They wouldn't let him go?
How is that possible?
All players were teleported at 9:00 AM yesterday. If they had more than 200 gold coins, they were teleported to the service area. If they had less than 200 gold coins, they were teleported to fight outside the service area.
Who has the ability to avoid going to a service area?
unless……
Ji Xinghan's eyes lit up. Unless this boy wasn't a player, but an NPC!
An NPC? That's great!
Ji Xinghan slowly moved in front of the boy and asked, "What's your name?"
The boy shrank back as far as he could, stammering, "I...I...I..."
His eyes struggled, but he finally said, "My name is Chu Feifei."
Chu Feifei?
It's one thing for someone to be weak and easily bullied, but to have such an unimpressive name?
What is the purpose of this NPC? How did he get imprisoned by the player?
Ji Xinghan then asked, "What's your sister Xiangxiang's name?"
Chu Feifei's eyes darted around, filled with struggle: "I...I don't want to tell you, ahh, I can't help it...her name is Qi Xiangxiang..."
His eyes reddened, and he covered his mouth tightly.
Ji Xinghan's eyes flashed. Strange, this NPC is too easy to bully, and he answers every question without lying.
Keep asking!
She asked, "Then tell me, why doesn't Qi Xiangxiang let you talk to strangers?"
