Chapter 137 Cemetery
"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."
When Ning Hanqi woke up, the room was very quiet, with only the sound of the clock hands moving.
A cold hand kept stroking her forehead, as if checking if she had a fever. Ning Hanqi's body was much weaker than that of ordinary people. Others could soak in the sea water for a while and then get some fresh air, and then come out and the copy would be restored to normal state, but she couldn't do that.
Ning Hanqi grabbed Xia Yingnuan's hand as she was about to withdraw it, and said pitifully, "Can you not drink the ginger soup?"
However, Xia Yingnuan was surprisingly difficult to talk about in this matter. "If you don't like ginger soup, I looked it up online and scallion water is also fine. What do you want to choose?"
"...Let's have ginger soup." Scallion water sounds even weirder.
When Xia Yingnuan woke up again, it was already dinner time.
She opened her eyes dazedly, and the room was already dark.
Xia Yingnuan rubbed her eyes, sat up, turned on the light, and then went to the bathroom to wash up. When Ning Hou came out again, he was much more sober.
Xia Yingnuan chose to eat in the room and asked the staff to deliver the food to her door. Then she sat on a chair and began to look through the newcomer manual.
She watched while eating, and by the time she finished dinner, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
It has to be said that the newcomer's manual is very useful, otherwise she would still be completely in the dark about many things.
Xia Yingnuan’s previous guess about the level was correct.
The higher the level, the more difficult the matched dungeon will be, but correspondingly, the more points you earn, and the more permissions you can unlock.
This will provide them with a lot of convenience.
The reason why Xia Yingnuan came to the world of strength was to find a way to resurrect her parents, or to hope that Ning Guang could flow back to Ning Hou before her parents had the car accident.
Although she doesn't know how to realize her wish now, Xia Yingnuan knows that only when her level becomes higher and higher, she will be able to obtain new information and possibilities.
The newbie's handbook also introduces some of the various forces and organizations currently existing on the transit island, as well as the big guys who are currently stable in the top ten.
The number one boss and the boss of the number one organization are both the same person, Ning Hanqi.
Xia Yingnuan was not unfamiliar with this person's name. When she was browsing the forum posts, she would often see some confessions to Ning Hanqi, as well as analysis posts discussing Ning Hanqi's current strength, etc.
So even though she didn't know this person yet, her impression of her had already been firmly established in Xia Yingnuan's mind.
That's... awesome.
The highest level is S-level, but there are different classifications within S-level. Ning Hanqi is undoubtedly the only one who is S-100%.
Xia Yingnuan couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying abilities such a person possessed. Of course, she felt that it would be difficult for her to meet such a big boss.
It’s just that Xia Yingnuan is a little curious.
Ning Hanqi, who has reached the maximum level S, has realized his wish to enter the world of strength?
Xia Yingnuan no longer doubted the conditions and scope of the World of Strength's personnel selection process. After all, it was clearly stated in the newcomer's manual.
Generally speaking, the app should be a dream machine that can realize human wishes, so people who are chosen by it will have a wish in their hearts that they want to realize, but some people have a strong obsession, while others have a weak obsession.
Xia Yingnuan, for example, is the type with strong obsessions. She wants to resurrect her parents.
Since Ning Hanqi has come to the world of strength, it must be the same situation.
However, the opponent had already reached the highest level, but was still stuck in the world of strength, which forced Xia Yingnuan to guess in two directions.
One reason is that Ning Hanqi’s wish is too big, and even the app Yi Ningjian cannot satisfy her, so she continues to stay here.
The second is... Ning Hanqi has realized her wish, but after realizing her wish, she cannot leave the world of power, so she can only continue to stay here.
Both of these speculations are depressing.
Everyone has limited rest days on the transit island. After all, it is safe to stay on the transit island. If anyone wants to escape from that terrible world, they can choose to escape here.
Probably to prevent such situations from happening, the transit island has a limited stay time, and everyone's situation is different.
Newcomers who have just come out of the Novice Village can rest on the transit island for ten days. After ten days, they will have to enter a new copy.
This quiet time allowed Xia Yingnuan to be more prepared. At least, she didn't have to enter the dungeon adventure again the next day.
However, Xia Yingnuan had no ideas or spoilers about the new copy. She didn't know if it was just the newcomers or if it was the same for everyone, but... she could only take it one step at a time.
Ning Hou Xia Yingnuan had a hard time falling asleep at night. Firstly, she had slept during the day, and secondly, she had encountered such a thing and had just come out of the Novice Village. She was not brave enough to fall asleep immediately. So after tossing and turning in bed, Xia Yingnuan resigned herself to her fate, took out her mobile phone, and opened the forum of the World of Strength.
There are all kinds of things on the forum, and among them, the one that Ning Bu Ning will push to the top is the information about various forces recruiting people.
Xia Yingnuan clicked on it and saw...it was similar to the recruitment process in the game.
It includes an introduction to the organization, main focus, atmosphere promotion, and most importantly, recruitment indicators.
After all, most of the relationships between organizations and individuals are mutually beneficial, so generally speaking, any organization with a little strength and reputation will not look down upon newcomers.
Xia Yingnuan compared the recruitment requirements of some organizations with her own and found that she could actually meet the requirements.
However, Xia Yingnuan was not fooled. As a newcomer, she was still very cautious. She did not rashly choose to join the organization directly, but continued to observe in the forum.
At the same time, posts that remind newcomers will also be pushed to the top.
For example, some organizations will choose to recruit new members, but Tongning will also exploit them. In other words, they provide protection to new members, but new members have to pay protection fees.
Some organizations go even further and may choose to take newcomers through dungeons, but at the same time, the newcomers have to voluntarily act as tools to be used, in other words, as stones for exploring the way.
In short, there is a wide variety of information.
The light from the cell phone shone on Xia Yingnuan's face. Her brows were cold and her expression did not change at all. Her eyelashes moved restlessly, and the content on the cell phone was reflected in her eyeballs.

When Ning Hou Xia Yingnuan woke up the next day, she received a message from Lin Hui, asking her if she wanted to go downstairs to eat together.
Xia Yingnuan thought about it and didn't refuse. After washing up, she went out.
Lin Hui happened to lock the door, and when she saw Xia Yingnuan, she was obviously in a much better mood.
Lin Hui said: "Then let's go downstairs together."
Xia Yingnuan nodded.
Lin Hui walked beside Xia Yingnuan, and what she didn't tell Xia Yingnuan was that she actually thought Xia Yingnuan would refuse, after all, she had refused last night.
In addition, after coming out of the novice copy, Lin Hui could sense Xia Yingnuan's alienation and estrangement towards her, so she was not sure whether the friendship that had experienced life and death together could move Xia Yingnuan.
Fortunately, Xia Yingnuan agreed.
The two of them sat in the dining area next to the first floor. They each went to the buffet area to pick up their food and then found an empty seat to sit down.
In fact, there are many people like them downstairs.
Xia Yingnuan glanced at them lightly, and she could probably tell them apart without further identification.
They are all the same.
They are all newcomers.
The feeling deep in your bones cannot be changed.
Like a newborn lamb.
On the transit island, the difference between novices and veterans is obvious.
While eating, Lin Hui discussed the contents of the manual with Xia Yingnuan.
Xia Yingnuan did not remain silent for too long and discussed with her in a low voice.
Lin Hui asked, "Do you want to find an organization to join?"
Xia Yingnuan had to admit that she was a cautious and timid person. She would not rashly choose to join an organization before she was sure about its quality.
Even though Xia Yingnuan knew that joining an organization and force could actually bring her more benefits.
Lin Hui hesitated, "Actually, I kind of want to join."
Xia Yingnuan listened quietly without making any further comments.
Lin Hui: "Because if newbies like us, who know nothing, enter a dungeon alone, the chances of encountering unexpected events might be even greater. If there's an organization's protection and leadership, maybe... maybe we'd have more options."
Xia Yingnuan asked, "You mean... finding someone to help you through the dungeon?"
Lin Hui felt a little embarrassed, but still nodded.
"I've seen on the forums that some organizations, in order to recruit or train new members, will ask new members to complete their first three dungeons."
Xia Yingnuan remained silent.
She did see it yesterday, but... she wasn't sure.
How can we tell whether this organization is sincerely helping newcomers pass the dungeon or has ulterior motives?
Xia Yingnuan doesn't think she can defeat an organization with ulterior motives at the moment, so she prefers to go it alone.
Lin Hui asked carefully: "Don't you want to join the organization?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded, "I do have this idea."
"But have you ever thought about what would happen if you happened to encounter another organization bringing in new members in the dungeon you entered? Wouldn't you be in a bad situation in that case?"
What Lin Hui said did make sense, and this was also what Xia Yingnuan had thought of before, but...
Xia Yingnuan frowned slightly, "Actually, there are dangers everywhere here." Not just this one.
Lin Hui sighed, "So your thoughts haven't changed?"
Xia Yingnuan paused and took a sip of porridge. "Not necessarily. If I find a suitable organization, I would be inclined to join it."
Hearing her words, Lin Hui breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face. "That's great, then. Let's find an organization together, and when we get to Ninghou, we can join together. That way, we can complete the new copy of Ninghou together."
The Newbie Manual states that you can purchase certain bound items in the system mall to ensure that the person holding the item can enter the same copy.
Xia Yingnuan didn't know the purpose of this prop, but its function must not only allow veterans to guide novices.
The two were eating when they were suddenly called by an uncertain voice.
Lin Hui, Xia Yingnuan and Tong Ning looked over and found the female college student coming downstairs to have breakfast.
The female student, Li Nanmeng, was delighted. "I didn't expect to see you here!"
When facing the outsider Ning Hou, in fact, Lin Hui and Xia Yingnuan are not talkative people. It’s just that Li Nanmeng’s identity is special. She is a girl and a teammate in the previous copy, so Lin Hui is not so "unkind".
"What a coincidence, you also chose to stay at the Newcomer Hotel."
Li Nanmeng said, "Yes, yes. After all, I can't find a more suitable house. Besides, this place is much more upscale than the dormitory. It's a perfect place for me to live."
Lin Hui smiled and said nothing more.
Li Nanmeng sat down at their table, looked at the two of them, and asked a question, "By the way, have you decided which organization to join?"
Xia Yingnuan covered her with the quilt and closed the curtains. Then she sat down beside the bed and gently stroked Ning Hanqi's still tired face in the darkness. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. What secrets did her past self hide?
A soft sigh came from the bedroom. Xia Yingnuan stood up and quietly helped Ning Hanqi pack clothes for tomorrow's trip.
They booked high-speed rail tickets for 8:00 the next morning. The total journey took more than two hours. They arrived at the destination city at around 10 o'clock. After putting their luggage in the hotel they booked yesterday, Ning Hanqi said she wanted to go to the cemetery first. Her expression did not seem like curiosity, but rather like she was preparing to scout a spot so that it would be easier to dig later.
After all, if she succeeded, it would be a bit unlucky to leave this tomb here.
When they arrived at the cemetery at the address, they found the area where the tomb was located. From a distance, Xia Yingnuan saw a tomb sweeper standing in front of her own tombstone.
