Chapter 60 Reversal of Middle School (9) - Key Props
After 30 minutes had passed, Ning Shu felt that there was no hope for this round.
She didn't even make it out of the first floor... After the time was up, she heard a system notification.
[Countdown has ended.]
Sorry, your task has failed.
She failed miserably, and the handcart in front of her disappeared.
Although she hadn't agreed on a meeting place with Cheng Chuan and the others, she knew she should return to the place where they had originally triggered the mission.
As expected, Cheng Chuan was already waiting for her. Wu Yi and Tuya hadn't seen them yet, probably because of the time difference, and they would be back in a while.
Cheng Chuan: "You failed too?"
Ning Shu nodded: "It seems this task is not so simple after all. We need to think of a way."
Cheng Chuan: "Zeng Shaobo said that the missions are the same every time, but the books you receive are mostly different, so it is difficult to pass the level by trying to do more missions."
Ning Shu pondered for a moment: "I think there is someone who can help us."
Yes, she thought of the male classmate who worked part-time while studying.
"You wait for them here, I'll be right back." Ning Shu said and walked away; she was going to find that male classmate.
Cheng Chuan waited for Wu Yi and Tuya to return, but Ning Shu hadn't come back yet, and they were anxious.
Wu Yi: "Brother Chuan, why don't we go find Sister Ning? She might need our help."
Cheng Chuan: "If she needs help, she will come back to us. The worst thing is that she will be targeted by others and won't be able to come back."
We split up to look for her, and shouted if anything happened; it's quiet here and we could be heard clearly.
Wu Yi and Tuya both nodded in agreement, so the three of them split up to search, each responsible for one floor.
Ning Shu finally brought the person back, but couldn't find him. While waiting for him, she chatted with the male classmate.
The male student was inexplicably pulled away by Ning Shu while he was working, and now he's inexplicably stopped here.
He was about to ask the other party what kind of help they wanted, but then he heard Ning Shu ask him.
"Classmate, we're going to have an assignment later. After you finish reading this, could you please tell us where those books should be put?"
The male student was taken aback, thought for a moment, and asked, "How long will it take?"
Ning Shu, knowing there were four of them, replied, "About four hours."
The other person hadn't expected it to take so long and was somewhat reluctant: "Excuse me, I have a lot of things to do and can't help you for that long."
Ning Shu anticipated that the other party would refuse: "Tell me, what do you want in return for your help?"
She knows how to trade!
But the other party wouldn't listen and refused no matter what they said.
Later, Ning Shu became angry and dragged the person to the women's restroom, pulled out a sharp razor blade, and held it to the person's neck.
He said fiercely, "You think you're so great, huh? How dare you refuse me like that!"
The male student was startled; he never expected that this seemingly soft and cute girl could be so terrifying when she turned hostile.
"I...I really have something to do..."
At this point, Ning Shu immediately stabbed the blade into the flesh, and a bead of blood instantly appeared on the male student's neck. If she had gone any further, she probably would have cut the artery.
"Although I can't help you, I can lend you my glasses."
The other person was so afraid that Ning Shu would really kill him that they spoke several times faster.
Glasses? What does that have to do with glasses?
The male student probably guessed her question and explained:
"The main reason I know so well where those books should be returned is because my glasses have an indicator function."
It was a gift from a retired teacher who told me to use it to get a job at the library and support myself.
So even NPCs need cheats?
Ning Shu thought about it again and realized that Zeng Shaobo was also able to become a top student because of the pen prop. Thinking about it this way, the game seemed quite fair.
They treat players and NPCs equally.
Ning Shu: "Can we use it ourselves? Are there no special restrictions?"
She needed to confirm, since some props were bound to their owners.
Male student: "There are no restrictions. I got it from the teacher. Why don't you try it yourself?"
The male classmate took off his glasses and handed them to Ning Shu. Ning Shu accepted them without hesitation with the hand that wasn't holding the knife and put them on.
After putting them on, she found that the glasses were really magical. She thought they could only be used to read books, but she didn't expect that they could also be used to read other things.
For example, she is in the bathroom now, and there is a crumpled piece of paper that someone threw on the sink. When her glasses shine on the crumpled paper, she sees a line of words and an arrow appear in the air.
The text reads "Trash," and an arrow points to a trash can, indicating where items should be categorized.
Oh, I see! That's so convenient.
"Alright, I'll borrow your glasses for a bit, and I'll return them to you when I'm done. Where will I find you then?"
Ning Shu's conscience returned at this moment. Not only did he put the knife away, but he also asked her very considerately.
The male student was taken aback by her sudden and effortless change, but still answered tremblingly:
"Just put it in locker 023 next to the workbench. The password is 3144."
"Okay, thanks, bro."
Ning Shu patted his shoulder as she spoke, and then a girl walked in. When she saw a boy in the women's restroom, she immediately screamed.
"There's a pervert!"
"Hey, don't get agitated, it's not him, let me explain..."
After Ning Shu finally resolved the farcical incident, she returned to the spot to see if Cheng Chuan and the others had come back, only to find Cheng Chuan there.
She stepped forward and asked curiously, "Where did you all go? Why are you the only one here?"
Cheng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her return: "We went to look for you earlier, but couldn't find you, so we came back to wait for you. They were just here, but they went to watch the commotion."
Ning Shu became even more curious upon hearing this: "What's all the excitement about?"
Cheng Chuan: "I don't know, it seems like there's a pervert in the women's restroom."
Ning Shu was taken aback. Could it be referring to them?
But when she came out, she didn't see a single person, let alone Wu Yi and the others.
Ning Shu: "I just came back from the bathroom and didn't see them."
Cheng Chuan: "You came back from this restroom? But they went to the restroom on the other side."
Cheng Chuan first pointed to the direction behind her, and then pointed to the direction in front of her.
Good grief, they can't even get a glimpse of the excitement, and they even go in the wrong direction, which is ridiculous. What can we expect from them?
Never mind, that's not the point.
Ning Shu quickly told Cheng Chuan the clue she had found. Cheng Chuan's eyes lit up after hearing it, and his initial thought of scolding her for running around and making them search for her immediately vanished.
Cheng Chuan: "Then we shouldn't delay. You go ahead and do your mission. I'll wait for them."
"good."
Ning Shu, wearing glasses, went to find the teacher to trigger the quest.
This time, once she entered the mission, she didn't need to go to the book borrowing machine to scan for information. As long as she picked up a book and glanced at the barcode, the relevant information appeared in the void.
For example, information such as which floor, which stack, which category, and which shelf this book is located on, which row from top to bottom on the shelf, and which book is next to it from left to right will appear.
