Chapter 65 Reversal of Middle School (14) - The Missing Ink
Ning Shu was getting impatient with their dawdling and threatened directly, "Be more detailed. If you won't take the initiative, then I will."
Monkey King never expected Ning Shu to have such a cute and gentle face, yet such a fiery personality.
"No, no, my skill can only control inanimate objects; I can just give them commands."
I originally made a puppet to help me fight.
Later I found it wasn't very useful, and then I met Hai Ge.
Whether it's an object or a person copied by his skill, they all retain the original's attributes.
This way, my chances of winning when controlling his clones in battle are much higher, especially against stronger enemies.
We hit it off immediately and teamed up to clear the dungeon together.
Cheng Chuan asked, puzzled, "If he can create clones, why does he need to cooperate with you?"
Monkey King understood Cheng Chuan's subtext and explained, "Because the copies he makes are all inanimate objects that can't move on their own, while I can make his copies move."
"Damn, what a useless talent skill!" Ning Shu thought to himself.
When will that rubbing sensation on her hands go away? It's disgusting!
Ning Shu couldn't help but rub her hands together, hoping to quickly get rid of the feeling.
As Monkey King finished speaking, he glanced at Ning Shu and noticed that she was rubbing her hands together incessantly, as if she were warming up before a fight.
He swallowed hard and continued, "What else do you want to hear?"
Cheng Chuan felt he wasn't telling the whole truth: "You're spying on us, aren't you? How did you manage that?"
Monkey King was surprised that they had discovered this. When did they find out? He clearly didn't notice them discovering it while he was monitoring them.
Cheng Chuan could tell he was still trying to hide it, so he pointed it out directly: "It's that mosquito, isn't it? But it seems like you don't know enough. Why is that?"
"My innate skill allows me to see what the puppets I control see."
However, there is a small drawback: you can only see, not hear.
This does explain why they know some things, but not in great detail.
Ning Shu thought about it and felt that something was not right:
"Can't hear? That can't be right. Didn't you have puppets go to class for you?"
How can I answer the teacher's questions if I can't hear them?
Ning Shu had noticed this when she realized something was wrong with the two of them. Apart from their blank expressions, they seemed quite normal.
At the time, Ning Shu wondered if she was overthinking things, and maybe they were just expressionless.
Monkey King felt a little embarrassed after hearing Ning Shu's words:
“We installed microphones and microphones on the puppets so that we can hear the voices around the puppets and hear their answers to questions, and I can also see them.”
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu recalled that their lips had opened and closed when they answered the questions. Was this something he could do? So precise?
Damn it, her skills can't even accurately locate individual enemies; she can only indiscriminately kill them. The difference is too big.
"Do your skills have a time limit? How long?" Ning Shu blurted out.
"Uh, 4 hours." Monkey was taken aback. He originally wanted to lie, but seeing the graffiti next to him, he was afraid of being found out, so he gave up.
Hearing this, Ning Shu gestured to Cheng Chuan with her eyes, signaling him to continue. Then she stepped back and pulled the graffiti aside.
"Did you realize? Were they lying?" Ning Shu asked again in a low voice.
"Probably not. His heart rate didn't change much. The changes mostly happened when you threatened him," Graffiti replied.
Just now, Ning Shu pulled him aside and actually asked him if he could hear the other person's heartbeat and breathing. He was stunned for a moment before answering that he could.
When he activated his skill, not only could he hear the sounds from afar clearly, but even those nearby were amplified infinitely.
This is also why he doesn't like to activate his skills when there are many people around, because it's too much of a strain on his ears.
Hearing Tuya's answer, Ning Shu felt that Monkey King was probably not lying. She asked Cheng Chuan to keep an eye on Monkey King while she took Tuya to find Wu Yi. It was time to interrogate Hai Ge.
Cheng Chuan waited with Monkey King for a while, and when he saw Ning Shu return with the others, he looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu didn't speak, but simply nodded at him.
This means that Hai Ge's statement matches Hou Ge's, and neither of them lied.
Cheng Chuan was relieved; otherwise, he wouldn't have known whether to believe the clues they gave him.
"Alright, now tell me about the clues you mentioned," Cheng Chuan said, looking at Monkey Brother.
Ning Shu lightly tapped the graffiti with his finger, signaling him to pay attention and see if the other party was lying. The graffiti nodded knowingly.
Monkey King: "I know you guys got the pen prop, but you've found it's not very useful, haven't you?"
Cheng Chuan nodded, signaling him to continue.
"Because you are missing another tool—ink."
This clue is indeed helpful; no wonder they couldn't get it to work—it turns out the ink was wrong.
Ning Shu wondered why the game was so stingy; it turned out they were just trying to make it more difficult for them.
So ink is also a prop, and it's probably not easy to obtain, since getting a fountain pen is already quite difficult.
"You know how to obtain it? How did you know?" Cheng Chuan asked curiously.
"The top student didn't tell you the truth. To get ink, you have to go to the chemistry lab and do the experiment there."
I can help you get the ink, but you need to help us get a fountain pen.
Monkey King then made a request. His original plan was to rob one of them, but he couldn't win. Since they were going to cooperate, he wanted to make an exchange with them.
"Help you? Since you've been monitoring us, you should know how to get the pen. Why would you need our help?" Cheng Chuan asked, puzzled.
"We know how to trigger the mission, but we can't complete it."
"It seems you borrowed a prop, but we couldn't find it," Monkey King explained.
He had seen through the mosquito that they had put their glasses in a cabinet.
He told the mosquito to stay near the cabinet while he and Hai Ge rushed over to retrieve it.
But to their surprise, when they opened the cabinet, they found that the glasses were gone.
Monkey King was puzzled. He had clearly had Mosquito keep an eye on the cabinet, and no one had opened it, yet the glasses were nowhere to be found.
Because the mosquitoes were always following Wu Yi, they didn't know where Ning Shu got the glasses from.
To get a better view, Monkey King chose the tallest martial artist among the group as his target.
But unexpectedly, Wu Yi was the most unreliable among these people.
He can only see the results of their work, not the process.
Because of this, they were unable to complete the hidden mission and therefore could not obtain the pen item, so they had no choice but to steal it from others.
The target naturally fell on Zeng Shaobo. Before being killed, Zeng Shaobo pleaded for mercy by saying that he still needed to obtain clues about the prop ink, but the other party could not be spared.
According to the mechanics of this instance, if an NPC student gets injured, it will attract the protection of NPC security personnel.
To eliminate any future trouble, Monkey King decided to deal with Zeng Shaobo.
"Wait a minute, let's discuss this." Cheng Chuan said, asking Wu Yi to watch over them, and then took Ning Shu and Tuya aside.
"What do you think?" Cheng Chuan asked.
