Chapter 234 Safe Zone 1 (3) - Using the Evasion Bead
Ning Shu suddenly realized that people should enjoy life while they can.
Because if her points were refreshed, they would be reset to zero, she started going on a shopping spree in the mall.
I bought pretty clothes and little toys, but they're all useless; they're just things to satisfy my personal emotional needs.
She stayed inside all day, and then went out to the food street to find something to eat as evening approached.
More and more players are setting up stalls in the food street now, because dungeon points are hard to earn, and many people are living with the attitude of just getting by day by day.
Making snacks is a survival skill that many players try to acquire, earning a little bit of points to get by.
Ning Shu walked down the street and found that the place really did change every day.
After enjoying a delicious meal there, she went back to sleep.
Because of the graffiti, she didn't mention finding another prop to Li Mengqi and resumed her daily routine of training at the Little Universe Burst Training Camp.
She often saw Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi there, and half a month passed like this, until she finally received news from Li Mengqi.
[Finding WiFi in the Adversity Game: Xiao Ning, the item you wanted has been found, but the seller is asking for 500 points. Do you still want it?]
Ning Shu did feel that 500 points was a bit expensive, but considering her strong desire to avoid Si Zhong, she gritted her teeth and decided to buy it anyway.
[Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet 8: Yes, thank you for your hard work, Sister Meng. I'll transfer the points to you.]
After saying that, Ning Shu transferred the points in a few quick steps, and Li Mengqi readily accepted them.
[Find WiFi in Adversity Game: Xiao Ning, I'll transfer the items to you later.]
However, please note that once the conditions are set, this item only works in dungeons; it won't work in safe zones.
[Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet 8: That's enough, thank you, Sister Meng.]
Ning Shu felt that she encountered Si Zhong more often in the dungeon, but only once in the safe zone.
She was the one who recklessly went and did it that time, so this prop is sufficient.
Before long, Li Mengqi initiated an item trade with her, and she bought the item for 1 point.
She glanced at the item's name—Enemy-Avoiding Bead—a truly simple and easy-to-understand name.
Once materialized, it becomes a dark blue bead about the size of a marble.
It wasn't anything special, but she couldn't figure out how to use it after studying it for a long time, so she sent a message to Li Mengqi.
[Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet 8: Sister Meng, could you help me ask the other person how to use this prop?]
I waited for a while but there was still no response. Is Sister Meng busy?
Ning Shu decided to leave it for now, and then she received a reply.
Find WiFi in Adversity Games:
How to use: Call its name three times, and after it glows, tell it the characteristics of the player you want to avoid.
Note that only 2 messages can be filtered, and the wish must be carried with you as a personal item after making the wish for it to be effective.
Xiao Ning, this is the message the other party sent.
【Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet 8: Received. (Sent a heart-shaped GIF)】
After deciding on the filtering criteria, Ning Shu called out the name of the bead.
The bead indeed glowed, and she continued: "Please filter out the following players: First, those with more than 10,000 points."
She felt that Si Zhong's points must be over 10,000, and the reason she didn't dare to set them too low was because she was worried that too many people would be filtered out.
I'm worried the system won't be able to handle it and it will become ineffective.
Before I could even state the second condition, a system notification popped up.
"Dear player, this item cannot be set with conditions related to points. Please change the filter conditions."
What? This is outrageous!
Ning Shu was indignant but helpless. Oh well, she decided to try another one.
"Please filter out the following players: First, those whose nicknames contain the characters 'Si Zhong'; second, those with heterochromia."
She had a slight understanding of Si Zhong's personality; someone as arrogant as him would probably use his own name as a nickname.
Because nicknames cannot be the same after resurrection, the other person's nickname will probably be the same as hers, so she will add many prefixes or suffixes to distinguish them.
Heterochromatic eyes are Si Zhong's most distinctive feature. There probably aren't many players with heterochromatic eyes, and even fewer who happen to have that name.
Even if you filter out unimportant people, it won't affect her, since they're unimportant anyway.
The light from the enemy-avoiding bead disappeared, turning dark black.
She believes this is simply to differentiate between used and unused states.
As a personal accessory, it couldn't be simpler to implement. She simply put the bead into her spatial storage, and her mood instantly improved.
Good news followed from the graffiti incident; he told Ning Shu that they no longer needed to specifically reprimand "Pray for a Tomorrow."
He heard that this player had offended someone from a certain organization and was being wanted by people everywhere.
They'd better not go and join the fun, lest they get involved.
This is great news; someone will help us get revenge without us having to lift a finger.
Ning Shu understood; someone like that player must have offended many people, so it wasn't surprising that he ended up like that.
[Sarcastic graffiti: Sister Ning, here's your prop back, you didn't need it anyway.]
[Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet 8: You can keep it, I don't need it anyway.]
[Sarcastic Doodle: (Sent a GIF of someone kneeling in gratitude)]
Ning Shu spent another half month happily, once again going to run dungeons with Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi.
After successfully completing two more fixed instances, they returned to safe zone 1 to rest.
Ning Shu found the bead very useful, and she didn't encounter Si Zhong again in these two instances.
At this moment, she was happily eating hot pot with Cheng Chuan and the others.
Another big gain for her was that she was getting closer and closer to Cheng Chuan, and they were just one step away from breaking through that thin veil.
However, she was still debating who should break the ice, and she definitely hoped that Cheng Chuan would do it.
But the other party seems to be... hesitating?
Actually, it's not that it's impossible for her to come, it's just that she lacks experience and doesn't know when it's best to confess her feelings.
Today, before the sun went down, she went to stroll through the food street again.
She remembered that Sister Meng had mentioned before that there was a delicious jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe) on the snack street, and she wanted to try it.
But when she got there, she found that there were just too many stalls making jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).
Which one is actually the tastier?
She wandered around and felt that everyone had done about the same thing. Just as she was unable to make a decision, she saw a handsome young man staring at her.
The young man's eyes were full of longing as he looked at Ning Shu: "Beautiful lady, would you like a jianbing guozi?"
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, one it is, 1 point, right?"
The young man nodded: "That's right, you have to transfer the money first."
Ning Shu readily transferred the money to the other party, and the young man happily said after receiving it, "Beautiful lady, I'll make it for you right away."
He poured a spoonful of batter directly onto the heating machine.
Ning Shu noticed a thin layer of dough left on the machine, seemingly from the previous customer who hadn't scraped it off properly.
I couldn't help but ask, "Is this what the last customer left over?"
Young man: "This was prepared in advance for you, don't worry."
Ning Shu frowned. Prepared in advance? This thing?
She didn't say anything.
The young man used a small spatula to spread the batter unevenly into a circle. After a while, the batter turned into a thin sheet of dough.
He started scraping the dough with a spatula, trying to flip it over.
After trying to scrape around the dough, the dough didn't lift up; instead, it broke in several places, making it look like a tattered rag.
