Chapter 324 Escape Plan (4) - Hiring Someone
Ji Shi did not trust Ning Shu.
His younger sister is naive and easily deceived, so he is wary of her, especially since she keeps taking the initiative to be friendly.
Ji Shi was unaware that Ning Shu had actually known Zai Fu Meng for a long time, but neither he nor Zai Fu Meng himself knew it.
Ning Shu admitted that she did have a purpose in approaching Zai Fumeng at the beginning.
She had hoped that the other party could make her a glove that could eliminate the side effects of her skills.
After discovering that she would be resurrected but everything else, except her memories and overall ability level, would disappear, she gave up the idea.
I enjoy playing with Zaifu Moe now; I genuinely just want to make friends.
She truly had ulterior motives towards Ji Shi.
Ji Shi, unaware of Ning Shu's ulterior motives, invited her to sit down: "What is it?"
Ning Shu glanced at Zai Fumeng, indicating that she wanted to talk to him alone.
She believed that Ji Shi was carrying out a mission to an unknown area without telling Zai Fumeng, and that it wouldn't be good for her to expose him like this.
Ji Shi instantly realized that she shouldn't say those words in front of Xiao Meng, so she said to the latter:
"Xiaomeng, go buy your brother something good to eat. He hasn't been eating properly these past few days."
Although the food from the game store can fill your stomach, it can never taste as good as food made by hand.
Every time Ji Shi returned from a mission, he would eat food made by players in the safe zone as a way to treat himself.
Zai Fumeng didn't think anything of it and went off happily.
After the other person left, Ji Shi spoke up: "You can speak now."
Ning Shu got straight to the point: "You seem to have a wide network of connections. I'd like you to help me find someone, and I can exchange a piece of information that you're interested in."
She had figured it out; she was determined to form a team to try An Ran's method, and of course, she also wanted to invite Ji Shi to join.
But the other party is very suspicious. If you tell them directly, they definitely won't believe you and will even doubt you.
If an exchange is used, the other party's suspicion will be reduced.
Ji Shi scoffed: "Are you so sure I'm interested in your news?"
Finding someone wouldn't be difficult for him, but he couldn't stand Ning Shu's attitude of wanting to get things done without paying the costs.
"Xiaomeng told me you often do missions. Do you go to the unknown areas?"
Ji Shi was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ning Shu to say this.
His expression was rather unpleasant: "Even Xiaomeng doesn't know this, how do you know?"
Ning Shu: "I guessed based on what she said and the information I received."
Ji Shi frowned: "You don't mean to lead Xiao Meng to an unknown area, do you?"
Ning Shu shook her head: "I just want to confirm one thing with you: is your purpose in going to the unknown area simply to earn points, or do you want to—leave the game?"
The words "leave the game" exploded in Ji Shi's mind like a bombshell.
He didn't expect that Ning Shu also knew about this news.
The other person doesn't seem like someone with 100,000 points, or perhaps she has other ways of knowing this information.
Although Ji Shi tried very hard to hide his expression, the pause betrayed him, and Ning Shu knew that he had guessed correctly.
Ji Shi knew about this as expected!
The other person seemed to know they could no longer pretend, and asked frankly, "How did you know?"
Ning Shu: "I bought the information with points."
Ji Shi realized he had misjudged Ning Shu; Ning Shu actually had 100,000 points: "Is your message related to leaving the game?"
Ning Shu nodded.
Ji Shi was skeptical: "Why are you exchanging this information with me? It's just finding someone; surely you can find them at the market?"
Ning Shu laughed: "Of course they can find it over there, but I don't want anyone but you to know."
Ji Shi pondered the question for a moment: "Looking for me—is it to collaborate?"
Aside from that, he couldn't think of any other reason why the other party had come to find him.
His entire squad's goal was to leave the game, earn points, and explore unknown areas, which is why they chose to undertake such a dangerous mission.
Ning Shu shook her head and then nodded, leaving Ji Shi completely bewildered. He didn't understand what she meant; did she want to cooperate or not?
Ning Shuxian didn't answer his question first, but instead asked another one: "You're not letting Xiaomeng participate, is it because you don't plan to take her out of the game, or do you have other plans?"
Ji Shi remained silent for a while before answering: "It's not that I don't want to involve her, it's that I can't risk two people for something that's not even certain."
If that method doesn't allow you to leave the game, and you only die, Xiaomeng can still live.
If I can indeed leave the game, I will always come back to rescue her, ensuring her 100% safety and eliminating any need for her to take risks.
So that's how it is. He really went to great lengths for his family.
Ning Shu continued, "Didn't you ever think about staying in the game and being with your family forever?"
This is also a good approach, since some players would rather stay in the game and be superior to others.
With Ji Shi's abilities, he could definitely live very well here.
Ji Shi sneered: "Everything here is just a mirage."
If the mastermind behind this decides to burst this bubble one day, everyone will die. Of course, we can't just sit and wait to die.
If I die, it will only prove that I have taken the wrong path.
Xiao Meng might have a chance to leave the game, but if she does nothing, they'll all die together in the end.
At this point, Ji Shi grew a little impatient with Ning Shu's topic and asked directly, "What exactly do you want?"
Ning Shu repeated her previous statement: "Are you going to help me find the person or not? If you do, I'll exchange information with you. If not, just pretend I was never here today."
Ji Shi thought for a moment. Finding someone wouldn't be difficult for him, so why not help her this once? He could also earn a message that he was leaving the game.
The other party was indeed prepared; he was genuinely interested in this news.
Ji Shi: "I promise you."
Although Ning Shu was very happy to have achieved her goal, the person she was looking for had a very special situation.
Unsure if Ji Shi could actually be found, I decided to confirm with the other party first.
"I only know what the person I'm looking for looks like, but I don't have a photo or their nickname. Is it still possible to find them?"
Ji Shi thought the other party was worried about something, but this was nothing. To him, it was as easy as turning his hand.
"I know a player whose skills are very special."
As long as she touches any part of your body, she can see what the person you imagine in your mind looks like.
She can draw a picture of that person, and then I'll have someone take the drawing to find the person.
We usually start by searching the five major safe zones, and we should get news in about a month. Are you relieved now?
Ning Shu really didn't expect Ji Shi to have such a wide network of connections.
On second thought, he even knew the people who issued the missions for unknown areas, and he knew some organizations that helped find people, so it couldn't be easier.
