Chapter 199 Blowing up the library
While Lin Xi threw the pot away, he also explained to the audience: "I only do this in the world of Rule Weird Stories. Good kids, don't learn from me."
She seemed to frequently do such uncivilized things in the world of Rules and Tales, including, but not limited to, flushing the remains of hot pot down the toilet. Lin Xi was even a little worried that if she did too much of that in the world of Rules and Tales, she wouldn't be able to change when she returned to the real world.
But then she felt relieved again. Back in the real world, she'd still be staying at the base. She only had to put her plates in the designated area when eating, so she wouldn't have to take out the trash. Besides, Lin Xi had decided to stay in the world of Rule Monsters from now on, so she could say goodbye to the real world.
When Lin Xi threw away Chen Sang Ning's pot, Chen Sang Ning was still a little reluctant. Although she failed, it was also the result of her hard work.
Lin Xi saw the look in Chen Sang Ning's eyes, and she even asked very coldly, "Who do you plan to eat this thing if you don't throw it away? You're not going to let me eat it, are you? I won't eat it. Not even a dog would eat that thing."
Shen Sangning was very angry, but Lin Xi's words made sense. A dog wouldn't eat that thing. She could only mutter quietly, "I didn't tell you to eat it."
As they spoke, Lin Xi had already dug out a new pot from the kitchen, took out the ingredients, and instructed the family to wash them before starting to cook. Hearing Shen Sangning's murmur, Lin Xi added, "Do you have to eat it? No, even if Ningning can eat it without any expression, she can't eat something so disgusting."
From Lin Xi's words, Shen Sang Ning could still hear Lin Xi's subtle characteristics of a domineering CEO. Her meaning was obviously: Ning Ning can only eat the delicious food I make.
Lin Xi could be a bit greasy sometimes, but this was just the right amount of greasy, and Chen Sang Ning not only didn't find it annoying, but actually found it endearing. So Chen Sang Ning hung around Lin Xi again, and began to learn from her.
"You won't understand it even if you do this. Ningning is just a little idiot when it comes to cooking."
If it were the stupid Ningning, she would have opened her mouth to bite Lin Xi by now, but now she is the more reserved and smart Ningning, so the smart Ningning will only secretly note down this matter, and wait until she goes to bed at night, then secretly bite Lin Xi's ear back.
Having someone help prep the ingredients in advance made it much easier to cook later. Lin Xi also had some braised food that had been soaking in the refrigerator for so long that it was ready to eat. So, this meal made both Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning very happy.
Lin Xi made quite a few stewed dishes, but Shen Sang Ning's stomach was a bottomless pit, and she never felt full. Lin Xi had clearly prepared a large bucket of stewed food, but Shen Sang Ning drank most of it.
If Lin Xi hadn't stopped Shen Sang Ning halfway and said to her, "Ning Ning, if you eat any more, you won't have anything to eat for the next meal." She would probably have finished all the braised food with the sauce.
After finishing her lunch, Lin Xi contentedly took Shen Sang Ning out for a walk to digest the food, as she had also eaten a lot. On the way, Lin Xi would ask Shen Sang Ning if anything had happened during the day she was locked in the book.
Lin Xi is not really stupid. She has grown so much. She must have guessed that after she was locked up, the big boss Xia Cui would definitely not do nothing and watch. She would probably come to cause trouble for Shen Sang Ning.
Shen Sangning nodded and explained the situation to her.
"This is the current situation. Judging from the current situation, I can't do anything to her for the time being, and she can't deal with me either."
The reason Shen Sangning couldn't deal with Xia Cui was that she had trouble finding her core, just like Xiao Gu in the previous hospital dungeon. Although the two were different types, Xiao Gu was a bone monster and Xia Cui was a long-haired monster, their tactics were similar: hiding their core and using only their clones to attack.
The only difference is that Xiaogu only has one clone, which can regenerate infinitely as long as the core is not destroyed. Xia Cui seems to have several clones, and when one is destroyed, another can take over.
The key to dealing with them is to find the core.
But these ghosts weren't fools; they had legs, and they'd definitely run away when Shen Sangning went looking for them. This was a real headache for Lin Xi and the others, but thankfully, they weren't just two people; they had external help. Cai Hua quickly found a more feasible solution from the team's proposals and sent it directly to Lin Xi.
When Lin Xi saw this plan, her eyes lit up, but she was still a little worried. However, Lin Xi still told Shen Sang Ning everything: "Cai Hua suggested that we could blow away... the entire library."
Shen Sangning's eyes lit up, and she also thought it was a good idea. But Lin Xi said, "But if that's the case, can I still get that History book?"
"It should be possible. I've said before that the book is very likely in Xia Cui's possession, so even if the entire library is destroyed, it won't affect the book." Shen Sangning had already considered this when she heard the solution. Xia Cui wasn't that weak. It was impossible for her to die just because Shen Sangning destroyed the entire library.
After hearing this, Lin Xi felt much more relieved.
◣
However, it was already late today, so Lin Xi and Shen Sang Ning were in no rush to confront Xia Cui. Instead, they began to carefully formulate a more detailed plan. They talked for a long time before finally deciding on a final solution.
It was mainly Shen Sang Ning who made the plan, and Lin Xi made some supplements after raising questions.
They decided to rest for two days, and wait until they were better before bothering Xia Cui. For the next two days, they lived a peaceful life, eating, sleeping, and playing games at home. It wasn't until the fifth day of the dungeon that Lin Xi dragged Shen Sang Ning to the library.
During this time, many streamers had died. Some were trapped in dungeons, and even those who emerged were killed by ghosts for violating certain rules. Only a few managed to survive until the fifth day, but they still had no idea how to find the book "History."
Even the remaining streamers had used up their SC opportunities, with Meng Yuxin being an exception; she still had one more. Meng Yuxin felt she probably wouldn't make it through the dungeon, but there was nothing she could do about it. She knew she was just an ordinary person, and that making it through the first dungeon and surviving this long was a stroke of luck.
So she wrote a suicide note in the live broadcast room, focusing on asking her bestie to take care of her beloved cat. As she spoke, tears began to flow. Meng Yuxin wiped her tears and told herself that she still had a chance and she must not give up here.
"I still have a chance. Maybe Lin Xi can pass the level and give me some clues."
In reality, Meng Yuxin knew that even if Lin Xi could clear a dungeon, she wouldn't be able to replicate it. She didn't have the cheats that Shen Sang Ning had, but she didn't envy Lin Xi. She said slowly, "Lin Xi is amazing, but she also works very hard. It seems like she's successfully cleared every dungeon, but that also means she's spent a lot of time in each dungeon, and some dungeons are specifically designed for her."
"Everything about her was bloodily dissected before everyone's eyes, and she could only struggle. I heard the person in charge say that she'd decided to stay in this garbage world of Guijueguitan... I think she could say that, after all, she also had to be honest with Shen Sangning. This world is really like shit, every day is cloudy, and there's no hope at all, but she's decided to stay."
"I don't envy her. I'd rather die than stay in this world. If possible, I hope she can pass..."
Meng Yuxin wasn't the only one hoping Lin Xi could pass the test; the vast majority of people in front of the screen shared the same hope, hoping Lin Xi could find a chance to stay in that world. Because the official statement had been released, they hadn't concealed the truth from the public, but had told everyone the whole story.
Cai Hua, one of the official leaders, even recorded a video: "Please remember Lin Xi, remember this person. She stayed in the world of Rules and Tales not only for herself, but also for everyone in our world. She will serve as a line of defense, keeping the world of Rules and Tales out of us forever."
Lin Xi, who seemed heartless and carefree, unknowingly became their savior.
It was this savior who sometimes seemed a little out of tune. Lin Xi squatted on the ground, holding Shen Sang Ning's hand and acting coquettishly: "Wife, carry me on your back, I'm tired." Lin Xi's physical fitness was not that easy to get tired, she was just acting coquettishly.
They were now near the library. Because they were planning to blow up the entire library, they had to first walk around it to determine its size. After walking for a while, Lin Xi squatted down and walked away unhappy.
He looks like a complete child and doesn't look like a savior at all.
Shen Sangning had no choice but to squat in front of Lin Xi. Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and she lay directly on Shen Sangning's back. Shen Sangning stood up, shook Lin Xi, and even thought of saying, "When you become a ghost, you won't have this excuse anymore. If that's the case, do you still want to become a ghost?"
"If I become a ghost, I should be able to hold hands with Ningning and spiral together.
Ascension?"
Sometimes Shen Sangning even wanted to open Lin Xi's head and see what was inside her mind... Holding hands and spiraling up to heaven together? She could even think of such a thing.
Shen Sang Ning imagined the scene for a moment and found it very funny.
"I don't want to."
"Then I'll perform it myself, with my left foot stepping on my right."
The library was quite large, but Shen Sangning carried Lin Xi on her back and sped up her circling speed, so it wasn't long before they were back at the library entrance again.
Lin Xi slid down from Shen Sang Ning's back, took a few steps back, and landed about five meters behind her. Shen Sang Ning glanced back, making sure Lin Xi was safe before tiptoeing and slowly floating up. She landed higher than the library and raised her hand.
The huge building was slowly lifted up by Shen Sangning's invisible power, and particles of soil fell down as it was lifted up.
——It would be really cool to skip the level-clearing process and go straight to the boss’s home.
