Chapter 30 Dark Paradise (8) - Kidnapping NPCs
"Brother, have you... found any clues?"
Ning Shu almost blurted out, "Why is he still here?" That would be so impolite.
“I…” The man looked around and then said in a low voice.
"I've discovered that they seem to have swallowed something like a pill before getting on the elevator."
After you get out of the elevator, you'll become flat, and then you can pass the game smoothly.
But when I asked them how they got the pill, they ignored me.
Ning Shu: "Big brother, did you buy from them? Did you try using gold coins or points?"
The older brother shook his head: "I don't have any gold coins on me. As for points, I'll have to ask around."
As the man walked away, Cheng Chuan said, "Actually, he saw others taking pills, why didn't he just snatch them from them?"
If they steal it, they can see what the pills look like.
Ning Shu: "Maybe it was because we didn't have time? Or is it because the game doesn't allow it?"
Ning Shu has not seen any explicit rules for the game so far, so he doesn't know what things are not allowed.
The kind and innocent Wu Yi never expected these two to have such wild ideas.
No, they're already thinking about stealing things? Are they planning to rob people next?
Cheng Chuan: "Remind him later that, according to your information, if he doesn't come out tonight, he'll never come out. NPCs are just data, there's no need to feel guilty."
"good."
The eldest brother is back, bringing news that NPC tourists don't need points; they don't even know what points are.
Ning Shu and the others found this somewhat unbelievable, as they had clearly stated with the restaurant staff that they could use points to pay for their meals earlier that day.
This indicates that some NPCs know about this item, but they are not aware of its existence.
It seems that the availability of points in game instances may be related to the fact that ordinary NPCs do not have the special equipment to collect points.
If that's the case, then for the older brother, his only option is to steal the pills from the NPC.
After hearing about this method, the older brother hesitated for a moment: "Is this really feasible?"
Wu Yi was getting annoyed by this older brother's dawdling: "Are you going to just wait to die if you don't give it a try?"
This is quite a harsh statement.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. What are you guys planning to do?" the older brother asked curiously.
“Let’s keep watching here and see where they got the pills from. Brother, you’ll have to take them by yourself.”
Ning Shu was very straightforward; she didn't want her older brother to have any illusions about them, since they were in a precarious situation themselves.
The eldest brother left to find the target, and Ning Shu and the others were separated in different places on the periphery of the entire project.
Their goal this time was to find tourists who had the pills on them or who had just entered the area, so they could find out where the pills came from.
Ning Shu initially thought that these pills were given to NPC tourists somewhere after they entered the slide attraction, but she found that this was not the case.
She identified a tourist who entered through the entrance and discovered that instead of collecting the pills, the tourist suddenly pulled out the pills from their person while waiting for the elevator and swallowed them.
So the tourist brought the pill in himself?
Ning Shu was worried that he had seen wrong, so he kept an eye on a few more samples. Sure enough, they all took out the pills from their bodies and ate them.
Now, Ning Shu and his group only have two options for passing through: robbing others or figuring out where to get the pills.
The former is obviously more efficient, provided it doesn't violate the rules; we'll just have to wait for that guy to try it for them.
They have just reached an agreement to keep a close eye on the movements of that man.
Suddenly, Ning Shu had a flash of inspiration. How could she be so foolish? Really, she quickly went to find Wu Yi.
At this moment, Wu Yi was acting like a freak, staring intently at a certain tourist in the arena, and to make matters worse, the tourist noticed him.
The other person was talking to their friends, and then they all glared back at Wu Yi.
Wu Yi, perhaps oblivious to the situation, remained completely unaffected and continued to stare intently as always.
When Ning Shu found him, this was the scene she saw: covering his face and dragging Wu Yi away. He had already been discovered, yet he still acted like this. Wasn't he afraid that someone would come out and beat him up?
Wu Yi was still reluctant to leave: "What are you doing? I've been watching several and haven't found anything. Maybe this one is."
Ning Shu had given up hope that he could discover anything. After dragging the man to a secluded spot, she asked, "Raise your wrist, the other one."
After she finished speaking, she saw Wu Yi raise his right hand, then tapped him, and Wu Yi raised his left hand.
"Can your rope be restored to its original size here?" Ning Shu asked, staring at the rope on his left wrist.
“Okay.” Wu Yi demonstrated it to her.
Ning Shu knew what was going on, so she told Wu Yi to put it away quickly, and then said she was going to find Cheng Chuan.
After the three of them gathered together, Cheng Chuan asked curiously, "What's wrong? Did you find a clue?"
Ning Shu nodded and said mysteriously, "I discovered that those pills were brought in from outside."
Wu Yi hadn't even reacted yet: "Then...we can only go in and steal from others?"
Cheng Chuan already understood Ning Shu's plan, and said at the same time as Ning Shu, "No, we'll rob them outside."
After they finished speaking, they smiled at each other, their eyes revealing their appreciation for one another.
After a moment of stunned silence, Wu Yi understood what they meant. This move was brilliant!
So the three of them waited outside the slide, watching the tourists walk in, and picked one who looked weaker and kidnapped him.
The man who was tied up was a skinny, monkey-like figure. Wu Yi used the rope that had transformed back to his original form to bind him tightly.
To prevent the other person from shouting, they even used clothing to gag the other person.
Of course, the only person who could contribute the clothes was that skinny monkey.
After the three men dragged the person to a secluded spot, Cheng Chuan squatted down and looked at him: "We mean no harm, we just want to ask you for something. If you stay quiet, you'll be fine." He nodded, understanding.
The skinny monkey immediately nodded frantically.
"You want to go play on the slide, right?"
The skinny monkey continued to nod.
"Did you bring the medicine?" Finally, the crucial question was asked.
The skinny monkey was clearly stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Ning Shu nudged the other person: "Did you bring your medicine? Why aren't you responding?"
The skinny monkey nodded again.
Cheng Chuan removed the clothes from his mouth: "Where are they? How many are there?"
“There’s only one in my right pocket.” The skinny man paused. “You kidnapped me just for this?”
His tone was full of disbelief. "You're going to steal this medicine? Isn't it free to just go and get it?" Skinny Monkey didn't understand.
What's with that contemptuous tone?
After Cheng Chuan found the pill, he examined it carefully. It seemed there were words on the pill.
Cheng Chuan told Ning Shu and the others to stay where they were and watch the skinny monkey. He ran to a bright spot to look at the pill and found that there were indeed words on it, which read "Wu Xiao".
He sensed something was wrong and, upon returning to the skinny monkey's side, asked, "Your name is Wu Xiao?"
The skinny monkey was taken aback, then nodded: "You... how did you know?" He hadn't mentioned his name, had he?
This feels like it's all over~ Cheng Chuan felt his premonition was about to come true: "Tell me in detail, where did you get this medicine?"
Ning Shu had a bad feeling when Cheng Chuan asked the other person's name, and when Cheng Chuan asked how the medicine came about, he guessed that the medicine probably had specific properties.
Upon hearing this, the skinny monkey relaxed: "That's easy, just go to the pharmacy and find the designated pharmacist to get it."
It's free, but you might have to wait in line, and the daily supply is limited, though she sends them out every day.
