Chapter 119 Let’s Go Shopping
According to Cai Hua, it seems to be true. But if you think about it this way, then isn't the main boss in the "Survival is Work" dungeon a bulletin board?
Lin Xi hadn't expected that the unassuming notice board he passed every day was actually home to a powerful ghost. At the very least, he was more powerful than the funeral home's previous owner, right? Lin Xi's mind wandered to other things, while Cai Hua warned him, "The committee for the upcoming dungeon rules and the Ghost Talk Live App will definitely target you more. Be careful..."
"There are also some things in the real world that are difficult to develop. There are none in China yet, but there are already so-called advent sects abroad." Cai Hua lowered his eyes, hiding the trace of disgust in his eyes: "Just like the name, it is a sect composed of a group of lunatics who long for strange stories to come. They firmly believe that strange stories are punishments from gods to humans, and humans must accept them. In this case, you will also become one of the people they want to eradicate the most."
"After learning about the order Aaron Jones received, we contacted the American side. They blamed everything on the Adventists. However, they did provide domestic compensation, including your share. We've also set up an international bank account for you, and the entire amount will be charged to that."
"What a bunch of lunatics..." Lin Xi was stunned. She knew that religious freedom existed abroad, with all sorts of sects, the most famous being the Flying Spaghetti God. Lin Xi hadn't expected that under such circumstances, there would still be people willing to betray humanity. But with so many people in this world, it was impossible for there not to be some idiots.
As for compensation, Lin Xi didn't care much because the government had already given a lot.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, but you still have to be careful."
Lin Xi nodded, but didn't take the matter to heart. These cults were simply too far away from her. As a child, she had indeed heard of some harmful sects, but by the time she knew about them, they had already been completely banned by the authorities. She had never been abroad, and while she'd seen reports of complicated situations abroad on the news, she hadn't witnessed any specific incidents.
After two days of rest, He Sitong found her again: "Sister Xi, I'm so bored. I'm about to grow mushrooms. Do you want to go shopping?" He Sitong came directly from the base next door. She was really bored, so bored that she was about to mold. He Sitong and Lin Xi were in the same situation. They lived in the base every day and ate almost the same food. The buffet had a wide variety of dishes and was delicious, but it was inevitable that you would feel sick of it after eating it for a long time.
Especially since He Sitong had been rotated out twice and had been in the base for more than two months, she felt as if ants were crawling all over her body.
"I want to eat spicy hot pot, hot pot, barbecue, BBQ, and crayfish!"
Li Lanna complained: "These bases you mentioned can also be made for you to eat."
He Sitong's eyes widened. "How can they be the same? The base is so clean, there's not even a hint of guilt! Besides, the base is so small, I'm almost bored to death. Sister Xi, are you bored too?"
Boredom was real, but Lin Xi had no desire to go out and play. She just wanted to get into the dungeon as quickly as possible and meet Shen Sangning. She even asked, "Will the base allow you to go out?"
He Sitong's expression became even more strange. She was still a little puzzled when she heard what Lin Xi said: "Why don't you let us go out? We are not in custody." He Sitong kept making a fuss, and Lin Xi was happy to gossip with her: "You talk to the higher-ups. If they agree, we can go out for a walk together."
In fact, it was mainly He Sitong's words: "It's the changing season outside, and it's so pitiful for Sister Ningning to always wear the same clothes. Sister Xi, why don't you take a look at the new clothes outside and ask my family to buy Sister Ningning a few sets?"
How could Lin Xi refuse? Although she particularly liked Shen Sangning in a pure white dress, she couldn't resist the temptation of Shen Sangning in a new dress. This was the main reason why she urged He Sitong. When He Sitong heard Lin Xi's words, she immediately jumped up: "Okay! I'll go and tell her!"
He Sitong called her team leader, and a male voice came from the other end: "What? No way! Why are you thinking about sneaking out every day? Have you memorized the full text? You're going to be in jail in a few days, and you're still thinking about playing all day long!"
He Sitong clearly knew how to deal with her supervisor. She immediately pouted and began to lament, "But uncle, I'm going to jail in a few days, and I don't know if I can come out safely this time. I'm just a female college student in her twenties. Just let me indulge myself a little bit. I promise I'll study hard when I come back!"
The other side was obviously relieved, but still worried: "Then come back first, I will choose a few people for you to stay with you..."
Seeing that he had agreed, He Sitong didn't even give him a chance to speak. "I'm with Sister Xi. The person in charge here will definitely take care of it. Don't worry! Goodbye!" He Sitong hung up the phone and made an "OK" sign to Lin Xi. Lin Xi scratched his head and said, "I don't think Caihua would agree."
She took He Sitong to find Cai Hua, but Cai Hua was more receptive than He Sitong's supervisor. "Okay, it's a good thing for you to go out and have some fun to relax. I'll arrange for the accompanying personnel..."
Seeing Cai Hua being so easygoing, Lin Xi was a bit bewildered. Lin Xi was a person who would push things further, so she smiled and said, "Can we not bring our entourage? We just want to go shopping on our own. If we bring a few fully armed soldiers with us, what fun will it be?"
Lin Xi thought that Cai Hua would definitely not agree after she said this, but she pinched her eyebrows and agreed, but with conditions.
"Take Lana with you, and this too." She called out to the other employees in the office and said something. The employee came over and gave Lin Xi a button.
"This is an alarm device. You don't have to bring anyone with you, but there must be a guard nearby. If there is any accident, just press it. The guard will come to you as soon as possible." Lin Xi did not refuse this time. Although he had to bring Li Lana with him, Li Lana was not much different in age from them, only four or five years older. He could just treat her as an older sister.
Li Lanna's face was full of seriousness: "Teacher, I will bring them back safely!"
Li Lanna's small frame wasn't something Lin Xi looked down on. Rather than relying on Li Lanna to protect her, it was better for her to protect both of them. Ultimately, the three of them successfully obtained permission to leave. The base staff prepared a vehicle, drove to a nearby shopping mall, and then waited in the underground parking lot.

He Sitong had obviously done a lot of research, and at noon she took them straight to the top-rated hot pot. Lin Xi had no idea if it was highly rated, but all she remembered was the word "spicy." She even started complaining, "It's too spicy! It's almost the same as the spicy noodles I had in the dungeon! I suspect they use industrial chili extract too!"
"Sister Xi, if you can't eat spicy food, just say it directly. I was watching the live broadcast. Sister Ningning said it wasn't spicy, but you kept saying it was very spicy." Xianzhu Fu
"What do you mean? You actually said I can't eat spicy food! Don't you even look at yourself? You're sweating from the spiciness!"
After finishing the hot pot, they began their shopping trip. The officials had given Lin Xi a lot of rewards. The money in her bank account was enough for her and Shen Sangning to live happily forever. Now she could just use it to buy whatever she wanted. This skirt is beautiful, buy it! This little blouse would suit Ningning perfectly, buy it! This doll is so quirky, Ningning will definitely like it, buy it!
They were having a great time shopping when they suddenly heard someone screaming next to them. Li Lana's first reaction was to be on guard, while Lin Xi and He Sitong were still thinking about something when they heard some girls hurried past. From their words, they could tell that it seemed like a male celebrity was coming.
This made Li Lana feel a little relieved.
He Sitong, standing next to her, was curious: "Who's that celebrity coming, Sister Xi? Let's go over and see them!" He Sitong was a college student, curious about everything and particularly fond of joining in the fun. After she said this, she peered forward. Lin Xi wasn't a fan, so she didn't want to join in the fun.
Seeing that Lin Xi and Li Lana were both in a state of disinterest, He Sitong wanted to join in the fun, but after thinking about it, she decided not to. "Then let's take a break and go get some dessert. There's a dessert shop over here that I think has a very high rating!"
"OK."
The three girls went to the dessert shop in the mall together, their feet full of bags. Lin Xi and He Sitong were enjoying their food, but Li Lana was a little distracted, obviously still thinking about the celebrity and feeling a little uneasy. Li Xi guessed what she was thinking: "Lana, are you afraid that someone will take advantage of this excitement and do something to us?"
He Sitong bit the small plastic spoon, a little puzzled: "What are you doing to us? Asking us for autographs?"
She was still somewhat innocent, unable to imagine the malice of humans. Li Lanna nodded, still a little worried: "There are too many people, and the atmosphere is very heated. If someone with malicious intentions takes advantage of this to attack you, it will be troublesome."
Hearing the word "take action", He Sitong exclaimed "Wow", and then became a little nervous: "Why do you want to take action against us?"
Li Lana's analysis was quite correct. Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go back. We have played till now today. It's time to go back." Even He Sitong, who loved playing the most, nodded obediently, "Okay, let's go back."
Li Lanna heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what they said, and smiled again. She ate dessert with them while sharing the latest news. When they were almost done eating, the three of them stood up from their seats, picked up the bags at their feet, and prepared to leave.
Li Lana's nerves were a little tense all the way to the underground parking lot.
Lin Xi and He Sitong inevitably felt that they were making a fuss over nothing. After going down to the parking lot on the second floor below ground, Li Lana finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because their car was parked not far away, Li Lana clearly let out a breath and said, "Let's go." As she walked towards that place, Lin Xi was alert and noticed something was wrong.
She grabbed Li Lana and didn't care that the shopping bags in her hands fell to the ground. Instead, she pulled the two people into the elevator, hid behind the elevator and desperately pressed the button to close the door. Li Lana was surprised for a moment, and then came to her senses: "Lin Xi, did you find something?"
"There's something wrong with the car. The back door looks like it was hit. It wasn't there when I got out."
