Chapter 304 Magic Academy (7) - Asking Players for Information
Si Zhong: "If we are not familiar enough with magic, we cannot proceed with the next stage of the story."
The first part of the task is "to achieve academic success," so let's focus on that first.
I'll be practicing my magic here these next couple of days, so I won't be able to keep you company. If you have time, try asking other players about graduation procedures.
Ning Shu: "Why don't you go?" All you know how to do is order her around.
Si Zhong remained silent: "The situation at Fengyuan is a bit special, and it can't be explained in a short time."
Ning Shu didn't ask any further questions, just nodded and said okay. After hanging up the "phone", she took out her glasses from her spatial storage and put them on.
She planned to stake out the cafeteria to see who the players were, and then she would pick a few people to ask.
Lola returned from who-knows-where and greeted Ning Shu when she saw that she was awake: "Ning, you're awake. Si Zhong is very good to you; he carried you back."
Ning Shu, who had already fallen asleep, had completely forgotten about the incident until Lola reminded her.
Well, at least he did something good. Ning Shu silently gave Si Zhong a thumbs up.
In the canteen, Ning Shu ate while looking around.
Laura and Wright, who were beside her, asked curiously, "Are you looking for Si Zhong? Didn't he leave you a message?"
Ning Shu: "I'm not looking for him, I'll look for someone else. You guys finish eating and leave first, I have something to do."
Lola and Wright had arranged to go to the library together, so they left after eating.
Ning Shu recognized several players with her glasses, and she planned to ask about the ones with higher scores.
She suddenly stopped, as if she had spotted someone she knew.
Well, we're not really that close, just that we've helped each other before – Sister Li, whom I met in the Desert Quest instance.
She was always accompanied by several companions, so she must have lived for a long time.
Ning Shu guessed it from the familiar faces of her friends.
If you're not going to live forever, your companions will change. Like her, now she only has Si Zhong by her side.
Of course, Si Zhong's situation is a bit special. If she loses her memory, she probably won't even know who's around her.
Should we choose Sister Li?
Ning Shu hesitated a bit, after all, judging from the previous situation, Sister Li and her group were not very strong.
They probably didn't recognize him anymore, so Ning Shu decided to skip them for now and continue searching for other players.
She discovered two maverick players, both with high scores.
Of course, one was taller than her, and the other was shorter than her, but taller than the others.
Having played games for so long, she has some understanding of the player base. Usually, those who dare to run dungeons alone are quite skilled.
Putting everything else aside, just look at herself. With her mediocre skills, she dares to venture into dungeons alone. Anyone more capable than her is probably on a roll.
Ning Shu finally set his sights on these two people and decided to observe them for a while, as the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
She wanted to go and get to know Sister Li first. Based on her previous experience, she felt that Sister Li wasn't the kind of person who was difficult to get along with, and that Sister Li would be happy to exchange information with her.
After she and the others left the canteen, she followed behind them. Sister Li's group was very alert and immediately spotted her.
They all stopped and looked at Ning Shu. A male player next to Sister Li whispered something to her.
Sister Li also looked at her, her gaze not malicious, but more inquisitive.
The two teams remained locked in a stalemate for a while, attracting the attention of other NPCs who came out of the canteen.
Sister Li spoke first: "This young lady is a player, right? Is there something you need? Why don't we move over and talk?"
Ning Shu was waiting for this sentence: "Okay, lead the way."
Sister Li and her group turned around and led the way, but several male players around her kept looking back, seemingly worried that she would launch a surprise attack on them.
Ning Shudang couldn't see their guard up, and in fact, she didn't intend to do anything.
Sister Li and the others took her to the playground, a place that was rarely visited except during regular exercise times.
For magicians, physical fitness is sufficient; they won't waste too much time on training. They are more focused on the use of magic.
Sister Li spoke up: "What does this young lady want from us?"
Ning Shu: "We're all players, how about sharing some clues? I'm open to buying from you guys, name your price."
Sister Li frowned: "Isn't the dungeon description very clear? All you need to do is practice your magic diligently, take the graduation exam, and graduate smoothly, right?"
Ning Shu: "The exam is only held once every three years, and we only have 30 days. What are your plans?"
After Ning Shu finished speaking, she made a point of observing their expressions and noticed that some of them didn't seem surprised, which made her understand the situation.
They were indeed aware of this, and since they weren't panicking, they must have a solution.
Sister Li frowned: "We..."
Ning Shu: "I'll exchange some information with you. You also need clues from other people, don't you?"
The words "We haven't thought of a good solution" that Sister Li wanted to say stuck in her throat. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Tell me about your information first."
Ning Shu knew that Sister Li had softened her stance: "Regarding the graduation seats at Eagle Academy."
She noticed that there were 5 people in Sister Li's team. Two of them were from Eagle School, Sister Li and another teammate were from Spirit School, and the other teammate was from Phoenix School.
The boy who had just whispered to Sister Li in Sister Li's group spoke up: "The news of one Eagle Academy graduate can't replace our news."
Ning Shu: "My teammate is from Fengyuan, so he will also have news from Fengyuan. Isn't that enough for the exchange?"
The content of the graduation exam varies from college to college. Just because you are sure you can graduate doesn't mean everyone else can, right?
The boy who just spoke and Sister Li are both from the Spirit Academy. If they refuse clues from the Eagle Academy and the Phoenix Academy, their other three teammates might have something to say about them.
Ning Shu added, "Besides, your information may be more valuable, but other players may not lack such an important clue."
I'll find out sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. Anyway, graduation exams are always left until the very end.
But if you miss my message, you might not be able to pass the level.
The last sentence was so powerful that it made the three non-spiritual academy teammates on Sister Li's side a little nervous.
Sister Li thought Ning Shu's words made sense, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, but you have to tell me your news first."
Ning Shu didn't care: "Let me tell you about Eagle Academy first. The number of graduates from Eagle Academy is estimated to be less than double digits."
Furthermore, the faculty seem to be deliberately creating barriers for students, and the principal may be lying.
The two players from Eagle Academy were a little nervous: "What? Less than double digits? That's too few."
Sister Li: "How did you know there were so few seats?"
Ning Shu tilted her head: "I can't tell you that. Students from Eagle Academy will all become prophets after graduation."
Prophets aren't expendable resources; we don't need many. Just a few of the very best will suffice, maybe even just one.
