Chapter 330 Escape Plan (10) - Merging Teams
Ning Shu was actually very excited. If Ji Shi really left, it would be good news for her, because her departure was also just around the corner.
She couldn't wait to knock on Li Mengqi's door.
Cheng Chuan, who was resting on the sofa, couldn't help but ask when he saw her rushing around, "What's wrong?"
Ning Shu gave a perfunctory explanation: "It's nothing, I just need to talk to Sister Meng about something."
Cheng Chuan had no choice but to continue lying down.
After Li Mengqi closed the door, seeing how anxious she looked, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Shu: "Sister Meng, it worked! This method is effective!"
What?
Li Mengqi didn't react for a moment, and after a while, she asked incredulously, "What did you say?!"
The sound was loud, so Ning Shu quickly covered her mouth: "Keep it down, be careful."
She glanced up, signaling to be careful as the walls might be listening.
Li Mengqi nodded, and Ning Shu released her hand from her mouth: "Sister Meng, Ji Shi succeeded, he shouldn't be here anymore."
Li Mengqi was very excited: "How did you know?"
Ning Shu told Li Mengqi about Zai Fu Meng's situation, and Li Mengqi's thoughts were exactly the same as Ning Shu's: "Great, we, we're saved!"
Ning Shu made a "shh" gesture: "Keep a low profile. Xiao Meng and the others will be moving here. We'll take care of her then. I'll talk to them later."
The "they" refers to Cheng Chuan and his group.
Not knowing if they were asleep, Ning Shu notified them directly in the group chat.
It is said that Ji Shi disappeared for unknown reasons, and Zai Fumeng and the others will move to Security Zone 1.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in the room jumped out, gathered in the living room, and began to discuss the matter.
Insiders Ning Shu and Li Mengqi pretended to be unaware and participated in the discussion.
The final result was that Li Mengqi would have to use the organization's influence again to rent a house in the community to settle Zai Fumeng and the others. In addition, Cheng Chuan also moved to the community.
When welcoming Zai Fumeng and his party, Ning Shu discovered that only Wen Fei, Wang Bing, Qiu Yong, and Liu Yang had come along; she didn't see any of the others she had met once before.
She asked Zaifu Meng curiously, "Where are the others? There should be more than just this many people."
Wang Bing bluntly said, "Hmph, they know that Brother Shi is missing and guess that he is dead, so they are no longer willing to follow him."
When this matter was mentioned, everyone except Zaifu Meng was indignant.
Ning Shu guessed that they probably had a verbal altercation with those people before they left.
This is all very common. Players rarely have blood ties like Zaifu Meng and Ji Shi. Most of them gather together for mutual benefit.
When interests disperse, people naturally disperse as well.
She reassured them, "It's nothing serious, don't worry about it."
The rooms here have been arranged for you; they're just upstairs from ours.
We have arranged two rooms for you, both with three bedrooms and a living room.
"Is this arrangement okay for the five of you, plus my teammate Cheng Chuan?"
Zaifu Meng naturally didn't care: "I'll listen to my sister."
The others were all grown men and didn't care too much about this kind of thing, so they all said they would listen to Ning Shu.
They also gathered at Li Mengqi's house to discuss Ji Shi's disappearance once again, analyzing various possibilities.
Ultimately, nothing came of it, since those in the know couldn't reveal too much.
Ning Shu finally made the decision: "We don't know what happened to Ji Shi, but life goes on."
Don't be too sad, everyone. We need to get used to players coming and going.
Everyone present understood her meaning, and that's how it was decided.
Wen Fei stopped Ning Shu and said he had something to tell her. Ning Shu then led him to her room.
"What's up?"
Wen Fei hesitated for a while before finally saying, "Sister Ning, there's something I need to tell you."
He came on behalf of everyone except for Zaifu Moe.
Ning Shu guessed what he was going to say and asked directly, "You mean Ji Shi wants to lead you out of the game from the unknown area, right?"
Wen Fei was speechless, not expecting that Ning Shu actually knew about this.
That's right, they've lost their leader ever since Ji Shi disappeared.
Before Ji Shi led them into unknown areas to carry out missions, the main purpose of which was to leave the game.
Now that they are gone, they still want to leave the game.
However, their strength was limited. This dungeon made them realize that Ning Shu was also a player with great potential. Given time, his strength would be no less than Ji Shi's.
After some discussion, they decided to send Wen Fei as their representative to talk to Ning Shu about this matter, hoping that Ning Shu could take Ji Shi's place.
Wen Fei stammered, "Sister Ning, you...you know about this?"
Ning Shu laughed: "Is this surprising? Why do you think he and I suddenly started cooperating? It's all for the same goal."
Wen Fei pondered for a moment and thought it made a lot of sense: "So what do you mean?"
Ning Shu: "My level has been lowered this time, so let's improve our overall ability level first."
Once the conditions are met, we can discuss whether or not to go to the unknown area.
Wenfei knew that an important condition for venturing into unknown areas was reaching C10.
None of them were satisfied and did not object to Ning Shu's statement.
Ning Shu: "Let's calm down and focus on leveling up first. Don't think about anything else for now."
Wen Fei hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Shi is worried that failure will harm Xiao Meng, so he hasn't told her about this. Should we tell her?"
Ning Shu thought to herself: What are you talking about? She also has secrets she's keeping from you. Are you trying to play palace intrigue with me?
She sighed: "Ji Shi's concerns are not unfounded. Let's not tell her for now."
"Even if something happens to us, at least she'll survive, right?"
Wen Fei thought it made sense.
After seeing Wen Fei off, they were surrounded by Li Mengqi and three others, who all asked what they had talked about.
Ning Shu sighed again. That's the downside of living close by; if there's even the slightest disturbance, everyone will want to know the whole story.
She continued to lie, "It's nothing, he just expressed his confusion about the future and asked me to comfort him."
Whether others believe her or not, she doesn't know; she simply doesn't want to explain.
Because of the matter of the timekeeping, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning going to run dungeons, focusing instead on "rest and recuperation."
Ning Shu is now focused entirely on leaving the game, and pays much less attention to Cheng Chuan. Their usual interactions are just based on a normal classmate relationship.
Today, Ning Shu took Zai Fumeng to stroll through the food street.
They were among the few who knew the truth, so they were in a good mood.
"Sister, I want to eat that beef brisket noodles."
Zai Fumeng, with a jianbing guozi in one hand and crumbs all over his mouth, pointed to a stall with the other and said to Ning Shu.
"Okay, let's go." Ning Shu was unusually not eating jianbing guozi today, because she was holding a string of candied hawthorns in her hand.
"Boss, two bowls of beef brisket noodles, please."
"Okay."
