Chapter 158 Escaping the Castle (11) - Rescuing Si Zhong
The sound stopped quickly, and Ning Shu heard Cheng Chuan's voice.
"Ning Shu? Has the monster stopped?"
Ning Shu grinned and quickly replied, "It's stopped. Did you get the item?"
Cheng Chuan's voice gradually became clearer: "I got it. Where are you? Where is it?"
Ning Shu: "I'm here..."
She looked down at her current location; the ground was a mess, and she couldn't identify her position by the fragments of objects on the ground.
In the end, he gave up and simply said, "I'm here. Come over when you hear me."
There was silence on Cheng Chuan's end for a while: "Where is it?"
Ning Shucai then remembered that he had another question: "It's below me, standing still."
"Okay, I'll come find you."
Ning Shu and the others came down after they arrived. After seeing the monster, Cheng Chuan blew the horn again.
Ning Shu saw the monster head towards the gate, and she and Wu Yi followed closely behind, watching helplessly as the monster brutally destroyed the castle gate.
They had tried to break into that gate before when they were searching for things; it was very sturdy, but it was shattered by the monster's violence.
Ning Shu felt that if there weren't any whales (high-spending players) in this dungeon, they would probably have been beaten to death by the monsters, completely wiped out.
Wu Yi was overjoyed to see the door open, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's go, we've cleared the level!"
Seeing that he was about to leave, Ning Shu immediately stopped him: "Wait a minute."
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi turned to look at her.
Ning Shu: "Si... Huangwa fainted inside. He appeared and saved me when I was transmitting the password."
She almost blurted out his name, but then stopped herself when she remembered he hadn't formally introduced himself, and used a different name.
Cheng Chuan then remembered him: "Where is he?"
Ning Shu: "I'll take you there; I reckon you'll have to memorize it."
Si Zhong is over 1.8 meters tall, such a tall person, he definitely couldn't move it by himself, so he had to ask two men to move it.
She led the person to the place where Si Zhong had collapsed and saw that he was indeed still lying there.
Ning Shu shone Cheng Chuan's flashlight on him and found that he had no marks on his body, so he should not be injured. She just didn't know why he was lying there.
Upon seeing this, Wu Yi decisively said, "I'll carry him on my back. That way we can walk faster and get out of here quickly. What if he dies?"
Ning Shu's heart tightened upon hearing this: Please don't! She had already been killed by her before, and if she were to kill her again now, it would have such a bad impact. Her guilt had only just begun to dissipate.
Quickly help Cheng Chuan lift Si Zhong up and let him lie on Wu Yi's back.
The four of them walked together toward the gate, and as they left the castle, they finally heard the system notification.
[Congratulations to player "Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet 8" for clearing the "Escape the Castle" non-fixed dungeon.]
Your contribution to clearing this dungeon ranks 3rd among players in the same period, earning you 100 points.
Please select the reward item you wish to receive: 1. Universal Decoder; 2. Magical Trash Can; 3. Sturdy Safe.
She ranked 3rd in completion contribution, so she's ahead of Wuyi, right? Well, with the big spender in the game, her position has become second to last.
Is the second option in the reward items for real? No matter how magical a trash can is, it's still just a trash can, isn't it?
Ning Shu carefully looked at the first and third options, and she felt that they should be more practical than the trash can.
However, she was really curious about that magical trash can.
The Chinese people's gossip-loving genes kicked in; if the system had described it as just an ordinary trash can, she wouldn't have been interested.
If you call it a magical trash can, then she'd have to taste it to see how salty it is.
So she chose the second prop. Why? Simply out of curiosity.
[Do you want to select this item as a personal item?]
Ning Shu clicked "No." She wasn't sick, so why would she carry a trash can around? Then she heard another "ding" in her ear.

[Player information displayed. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!]
Looking at the numbers behind the trash can prop, Ning Shu fell silent. It seemed that there weren't many people as curious as her who actually put their curiosity into practice.
When she returned to the safe zone, she still saw Cheng Chuan and the others.
Although I was inexplicably pulled into the dungeon, being able to reunite with Cheng Chuan and the others and run dungeons together will definitely strengthen our bond.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi both looked a bit dark-skinned, mainly because they were recalling their experience at the second level.
Especially Wu Yi, because the third level was time-sensitive and the task was heavy, so he didn't have a chance to cause trouble for Ning Shu.
Now that the opportunity has come, he feels he needs to teach Ning Shu a lesson and get justice for himself.
"Xiao Ning, I'm not trying to be mean, but you need to consider your teammates in the game, do you know that..." Wu Yi was cut off by Cheng Chuan before he could finish speaking.
Cheng Chuan dared not let Wu Yi continue, otherwise he would be unable to hide his embarrassing secret.
Which guy would want a girl to know this kind of thing, especially in front of a girl who once admired him?
Although Cheng Chuan no longer had the experience of running dungeons with Ning Shu, he still remembered that Ning Shu had feelings for him during their university days.
Ning Shu didn't pay attention to why Cheng Chuan covered Wu Yi's mouth; her attention was focused on Wu Yi calling her "Xiao Ning."
Wu Yi has become too bold, and he actually changed his address for her from "Sister Ning" to "Little Ning". Even if he has lost his memory, he dares to do this with a mere 4th place finish. Who gave him the nerve? Humph.
She was furious. This opportunist! One day, she would take back the title of "sister"!
Cheng Chuan ignored Ning Shu's little scheme and instead put Wu Yi aside.
He carefully instructed him not to mention the matter again, saying things like Ning Shu didn't do it on purpose, and that a grown man shouldn't be so petty.
Actually, it's all for his own face; he can't lose his manly dignity, cough cough.
When Ning Shu saw that the person had returned, she smiled and said, "This dungeon was alright, not too difficult, right?"
Cheng Chuan nodded in agreement.
They were the only ones who thought this dungeon was easy, but Si Zhong, who truly understood its difficulty, woke up on the sofa in the villa.
He didn't expect that even though he didn't make it to the end, he still managed to clear the game. It seems that Little Potato and the others brought him out.
The monsters in the third level of this dungeon are actually quite difficult to deal with. The longer it goes on, the harder they become to defeat, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to demolish the walls.
He was a little annoyed at the time. What were those three people doing? They took so long to find a box. He didn't know if they found it or triggered something else, but the monster's combat power suddenly skyrocketed.
