Chapter 159 Safety Zone No. 1 (1) - Fate Plays a Trick
This reminded Si Zhong of a hellishly difficult dungeon he had encountered before, where he was utterly thrashed and only succeeded after several failed attempts.
Later, he went to question the game and was told that some dungeons were deliberately set to hell difficulty in order to get players to spend money.
The monsters in this dungeon are somewhat similar to the boss in that dungeon, but even if he spends money this time, it doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
After he exhausted himself kicking the monster into the broken wall, he was already at his limit, but he still wanted to deliver the final blow.
However, before he could draw his sword, he noticed that the monster seemed to be staring at something. He took the opportunity to jump out of the hole in the wall, ignoring what the monster was staring at, and slashed it directly, and then the monster fell down.
As he fell, his thought was: This dungeon is actually this difficult...
After he fainted, his consciousness actually returned to the game's waiting area, because he hadn't died in the dungeon, and the dungeon wasn't over yet, so he needed to wait there.
He was quite surprised when he received the news that he had completed the game, and his initial intention to kill Little Potato softened because of this.
Upon waking up, Si Zhong remembered something else and felt he needed to make some preparations.
After seeing Cheng Chuan nod in agreement, Ning Shu remained silent, as she truly didn't know what to say.
Cheng Chuan seemed to have an idea and invited Ning Shu, "How about we go out for a meal together?"
There are also many restaurants in the safe zone, which is convenient for players who want to have a meal together. Everyone has a few friends when they go out for a walk.
Ning Shu was pleasantly surprised, not expecting Cheng Chuan to invite her to dinner, and readily agreed.
Martial arts skills are naturally a priority, since for him, having lost one major strength, he has to hold on tightly to the one remaining one.
He stared at the two people chatting happily in front of him, feeling a little uneasy. It seemed that his brother Chuan had changed his mind, and he wondered if this newcomer was trying to curry favor with Chuan.
Wu Yi suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Although brotherhood is more important than anything else, it still can't compare to love. What if these two fall for each other and then look down on him for being a third wheel?
Brother Chuan wouldn't be the kind of person who would betray his principles for the sake of women, Wu Yi tried to convince himself, but he wasn't sure.
After all, in his eyes, Cheng Chuan was an old hand who had just left and was already all lovey-dovey with a new one, so he felt he needed to give Ning Shu a good warning.
Cheng Chuan chose a relatively clean and inexpensive restaurant. As soon as the three of them sat down, the owner came over and suggested that the guests go to the front desk to order themselves, which is a common practice in restaurants in the safe zone.
Since Cheng Chuan was hosting, it was natural for him to order the food, so he left with the owner.
The remaining two looked at each other with a hint of hostility. Ning Shu was unhappy with how Wu Yi addressed her, while Wu Yi was thinking of ways to warn Ning Shu.
Wu Yi spoke first: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're classmates with Brother Chuan. Let me tell you, Brother Chuan has someone he likes."
Ning Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she put aside her displeasure with Wu Yi: "Didn't he break up with his girlfriend?"
Wu Yi was surprised that the other party also knew about this. His eyes darted around, and he said confidently, "He broke up with his ex-girlfriend and then fell for my sister."
Foot Sister? Foot...? Ning Shu had a big question mark stuck in her mind.
"What foot sister?"
Wu Yi said angrily, "She was a girl in our team before. She was really good at playing games, sometimes even better than Brother Chuan."
Ning Shu was still confused: "Which foot?" It couldn't be what she was thinking, could it?
Wu Yi: "It's the foot in 'hands and feet,' what's wrong with you?!" You can't make fun of Sister Foot.
Ning Shu: "..."
Damn it, if I had known that nicknames would replace her, I should have given her ethereal nicknames like "Princess" or "Little Fairy."
However, she was stunned by another sentence Wu Yi said next.
"My brother Chuan really liked Sister Foot. If she hadn't passed away, they would be a couple right now, you understand?"
Wu Yi meant that if you know what's good for you, stay away from my brother Chuan; he's not someone you can have.
Cheng Chuan likes her? Ning Shu took a long time to process this news; her expression went from surprise to ecstasy, and then to disappointment.
Good news, Cheng Chuan likes her. Bad news, he likes the ex-girlfriend.
Ning Shu felt that life was so difficult. If she hadn't died, she would be with the person she loved right now.
Fate is cruel! Fate is cruel!
She quickly realized that if Cheng Chuan could like her before, why couldn't he like her now? If she worked harder, she could definitely win him over!
Ning Shu was full of confidence at this moment. Wu Yi looked at the strangely bright eyes of the other party and wondered to himself, "What happened to backing down when faced with difficulties? Why does it feel like the other party is preparing to bravely advance?"
Cheng Chuan had already ordered the food and turned back. As soon as he sat down, he noticed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off. He had some questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to ask.
"I only ordered four dishes, I'll add more if it's not enough. Ning Shu, where do you live now?" He looked at her all alone, wondering if she was having a hard time.
Ning Shu: "I live in the Croissant Community and rent a single room by myself."
Croissant Residential Complex? Isn't that near where they live? Cheng Chuan thought it was too much of a coincidence.
Wu Yi: "Hey, that's very close to where we live."
Ning Shu quickly blurted out, "Where do you live?" Suddenly, she felt like she was being pretentious.
Wu Yi blurted out: "Tianyue Residential Area."
Ning Shu feigned envy: "A luxury house! I'm so envious of you guys. But that neighborhood isn't easy to rent. How did you manage to rent it?"
Wu Yi: "We have Sister Meng, she rented it, and we live with her."
Ning Shu continued to feign ignorance: "And who is Sister Meng?"
Next, Ning Shu dug up all the details about Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi. Although she already knew those details, she still had to ask as a matter of routine, otherwise how would she explain that she knew these things later?
However, she then realized she was overthinking things; the game had restrictions.
After hearing the explanation, Ning Shu took the opportunity to ask, "Can I visit your place? I've only heard about it before, and I'd like to see it for myself."
Wu Yi, who had just been gloating, shut up. He... didn't want to, but he had no right to speak. He turned to stare at Cheng Chuan, hoping that the other party would reject Ning Shu.
Cheng Chuan also felt it was inappropriate to bring a female classmate home right after meeting her again.
It wouldn't be good if Sister Meng found out, but for some reason, he actually agreed.
Seeing Ning Shu's happy expression as she thanked him, he couldn't bring himself to back out.
The restaurant's food was actually quite good; Ning Shu hadn't had freshly made food in a long time.
Previously, when Lei Tao and I ate in the dungeon, we mainly ate dry food, occasionally ordering fast food. Even so, Lei Tao was always very distressed about the cost.
She ate like a starving ghost today, since it was a rare treat for her.
