Chapter 138 Infinite Resurrection (2) - Burning Paper Money for Him
This "gold ingot" isn't very detailed; the point is to capture its essence.
Ning Shu looked at the object that "looked just like a gold ingot" and nodded in satisfaction.
The three of them got to work quickly and finished in no time.
Ning Shu didn't ask them to fold all the paper offerings; she only folded half of them, intending to burn the rest on the seventh day after the deceased's death.
She's going to burn half of it tonight, in case the other person needs it.
She used to be an atheist, but now she thinks more than anyone else, as if there really is another world.
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi thought that it was all over after they finished, but Ning Shu told them to rest first, and then used his clothes to move the "gold ingots" to another place and burn them.
The two looked at each other, puzzled, but neither dared to ask, afraid of upsetting her.
After Ning Shu dismissed the two men, she lit the "gold ingot" with a lighter, muttering incantations, mostly her own thoughts.
"Big brother, I didn't mean it, please don't blame me."
Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. If you're looking for revenge, you'd better look for zombies or video games; don't come after me.
Look at me, I'm worried you won't have enough money to burn paper money for you, so I'll burn paper money for you on the first and fifteenth of every lunar month from now on, so you'll still be a big spender in the underworld.
"If you take me away, it's not worth it for us to suffer poverty and hardship together down there, is it?"
Ning Shu originally wanted to tell her that if she needed anything, he would appear in her dream, but after thinking about it, she decided against it. She would be terrified if he really did appear in her dream.
Besides, what if the other person appears in her dream saying they need a wife? She can't just go and find someone for them, can she? That would be so impolite.
Burning paper money for him is different; he can buy whatever he needs himself, and maybe even find his own wife, and choose one himself.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized it made sense, so she continued, "We're not close, and I don't know what you like, so if you need anything, just buy it yourself."
The 500-plus "gold ingots" actually contained very little; they were burned quickly once they were piled up.
But aside from setting off a few extra at the beginning of the fire, she burned them one by one later, not for any other reason than to create a sense of ritual.
Externally, the worry is that the recipient will be overwhelmed by too much information; internally, it's about seeking psychological comfort and reducing one's own guilt.
After the last "gold ingot" was burned, Ning Shu felt as if she had come back to life.
She slept soundly that night, as if nothing had happened.
The next day, Cheng Chuan drove in front while Wu Yi showed him the road signs.
She was sitting in the back seat, bored. She brought up the control panel and saw that the messages in the group chat with Li Mengqi were almost exploding.
Goodness, hundreds of messages! She scrolled up to see what everyone was talking about; it was quite a lively discussion.
[The proud little princess: Sister Meng, this dungeon is really tough!]
What follows is all about martial arts skills, and a bunch of text describing how difficult the zombie dungeon is.
[Sleepwalking in adversity to find WiFi: Is that so exaggerated? I remember it being very simple.]
Back then, I easily found 100 people for Task 1, and most of them completed Task 2 and left within 10 days.
Ning Shu was speechless when she saw this; why were all the dungeons she encountered hellish?
Both of them were earning those 50 points, but some people earned them effortlessly, while she almost died before she even got to earn them.
No, because I accidentally killed a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases), these 50 points don't count as profit, they're more like... a loan, the kind that has to be repaid in installments.
Thinking about it this way, she realized she had wasted her time, getting zero points and even feeling guilty, which made her angrier the more she thought about it.
[One City After Another: (Posted a speechless picture) The three of us almost didn't make it out.]
[Sleepwalking in adversity to find WiFi: Your luck is unbelievable! What are your levels and overall abilities?]
[One City After Another: I was just about to say this. My level is still L1, but my overall ability has increased to C2.]
[The proud little princess: Huh, my level is L2, but my overall abilities have reached C3.]
[One City After Another: What's this pattern? It seems like you guys cleared one more dungeon than me.]
[Dreaming of finding WiFi in adversity: This has been analyzed by players on Tieba.]
It's said that level is related to the number of dungeons cleared, while overall ability seems to be related to the ability to clear dungeons.
Even if you complete the same number of dungeons, the higher the difficulty, the faster your overall abilities will level up.
[One City After Another: What Does This Mean for Players?]
【Dreaming of adversity and looking for WiFi: ...It seems there isn't any, anyway, if you can't clear the dungeon, you'll die anyway.】
The overall ability data is a bit strange, because some newcomers have very high scores right from the start.
Some players have discovered that those with high stats also tend to have strong completion rates.
[One City After Another: So it's an assessment of a player's ability to complete the game?]
【Dreaming of adversity to find WiFi: I think so, but I don't understand what use this data has for players.】
By the way, after talking for so long, where's Xiao Ning?
Then I finally remembered her. As expected of Sister Meng, she always cares about me.
[The Arrogant Little Princess: Sister Ning has been acting a bit strange ever since we came out of the dungeon.]
He seemed to have left things unsaid, but he didn't continue. Instead, Cheng Chuan spoke.
[One City After Another: After leaving the dungeon, she wasn't feeling well, so she went to bed early.]
[Sleepwalking in adversity looking for WiFi: She's probably scared by the zombies. Take good care of her, and come back early after you're done. I'll cook you something delicious.]
Ning Shu was so moved by this sentence that she almost cried. Sister Meng is so kind.
After Li Mengqi asked about Ning Shu's situation in the group chat, Wu Yi originally wanted to say that Ning Shu's behavior was strange, but Cheng Chuan, who was next to him, stopped him.
He was told not to say anything more, but Cheng Chuan brushed it off with a casual remark in the group chat.
The result was exactly what Ning Shu saw.
The group chat was full of messages, but only a few were useful. The rest were just Wu Yi's complaints. Ning Shu closed the chat window after reading them and opened the group chat with the doodles.
She looked at Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi: "Should we add Xiao Meng to our graffiti group?"
Ning Shu thought that since they were all players, they could share information together in the future. Otherwise, if they joined a group every time they cleared a dungeon, how many groups would there be in the future?
Of course, the group chat with Li Mengqi will remain as is, since they are people who live together.
Cheng Chuan: "I'm fine with anything, anyway, we have pretty good relationships."
Wu Yi seconded the motion, and he didn't have any of his own ideas, just listening to Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan.
Ning Shu added Zai Fu Meng to the group chat, and the next second Zai Fu Meng started talking in the group.
[Adorable: Sisters, when are you coming to play with me?]
[A burly man who doesn't wash his feet: Where are you now?]
[Cute: I was in safe zone 4, but I'm not there now. My brother and I went out to do a mission.]
Ning Shu wisely refrained from asking what their mission was.
She guessed that Zai Fu and his sister Meng had probably joined some organization, just like Li Mengqi, and had to go out on missions from time to time.
It's difficult to find out the missions of these organizations, as it involves their affairs.
