Chapter 68 Reversal of Middle School (17) - Obtaining the Ink
Cheng Chuan kept staring outside. Everything had been calm until suddenly so many NPC security personnel appeared.
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple," Ning Shu said through gritted teeth.
"Let's go, let's go!" Wu Yi couldn't wait to run away as soon as he got off the chair.
The three fled in a panic to avoid being captured by the NPCs, looking quite disheveled.
After escaping their pursuit, the three of them were overjoyed.
"We've collected all the materials, we can start the mission now!" Wu Yi seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
"Okay, let's inform Monkey and the others. Let's show our sincerity." Ning Shu looked at Cheng Chuan, seemingly seeking his opinion.
Cheng Chuan: "I think it's possible. After all, we are now in a cooperative relationship, and only by keeping our word can we go far."
Ning Shu agreed. Although Monkey and his gang had acted inhumanely before, they had provided the clues for this mission, so it was a way of making up for it.
When Monkey and his friends received the message from the graffiti, they were still somewhat incredulous: "You guys really found copper?"
The graffiti artist said smugly, "Of course, when Sister Ning and Brother Chuan get their hands on something, you can tell they're top-notch."
What Monkey was really concerned about was that they had actually told him the news, and it seemed like they even intended to share the materials with him.
"Brother Chuan said that you should all go to the lab at 2 pm. We will take turns going in to do experiments, with two people in each group."
"Two people per group? Shouldn't it be three?" Hai Ge asked in confusion. Had the initial plan changed?
"Brother Chuan said that the number of people should be changed, as it would be safer that way," the graffiti explained.
Monkey King understood immediately. He guessed that Monkey King was worried that their mishandling of the situation would implicate the other party. Monkey King wanted to cooperate but was also wary of him.
"Okay, we'll be there on time."
At 2 PM, all six people gathered in the previous laboratory. Cheng Chuan, seeing that everyone had arrived, asked:
"Is everything ready? Monkey King, shall we go in first?"
Cheng Chuan asked a question, and the four of them watched the experimental video again at noon, memorizing all the operating steps.
Whether Monkey King and his group were prepared or not was none of their concern, but Cheng Chuan felt he still had to remind them of one thing:
"However, I suggest you go in later and memorize the experimental steps first to avoid making mistakes."
Monkey King didn't actually want to go in first; he wanted to see if they could succeed.
"That's what we were thinking too. You guys go ahead and we'll go watch the experiment video."
This was exactly what Cheng Chuan wanted. He was worried that Monkey King would have to do it first, and if they weren't familiar with the process and kept trying, they would run out of raw materials, which would be troublesome.
“Okay, then Wu Yi and I will go in first this time.” After Cheng Chuan finished speaking, he looked at Wu Yi.
Wu Yi happily followed Cheng Chuan inside first.
Ning Shu and Tuya stayed outside to wait. Ning Shu thought that Monkey and the others would go to other places to watch the experimental videos, but they didn't expect that they would actually bring up the game panel in front of them.
Ning Shu had no idea what they were swiping at, since she couldn't see the panel content.
"What are you guys doing, Monkey King?"
Ning Shu's subtext was: Why are you guys wasting time chatting on the panel instead of watching the video?
"Watch the experiment video." Hai Ge rarely spoke, ever since Monkey Brother's identity was revealed.
"Huh, can the panel search for these kinds of videos?"
Ning Shu hadn't expected this. The control panel could be used to access the internet in a dungeon? Why didn't Sister Meng tell her this?
"No, but you can use the panel to record what you see on your computer and then check it at any time."
At this point, Hai Ge added, "This means you can still see it even after you leave the instance."
Isn't this just like a cell phone? Although you can't contact others, it's both useful and not very useful, Ning Shu thought.
After that, the four people waiting outside remained silent.
Shortly after, the laboratory door opened, and Cheng Chuan was the first to walk out.
Ning Shu and Tuya both stood up, looking nervously at Cheng Chuan. Cheng Chuan nodded to them, and Ning Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, Ning Shu didn't want to give the opportunity to Monkey Brother and the others; she was determined to prioritize herself and Tuya.
Before going inside, Ning Shu asked Cheng Chuan, "Is there anything I should be careful about inside?"
Cheng Chuan nodded: "The experiment also requires proper handling of the solution and gas after the reaction, so we need to add more sodium hydroxide solution and make sure to remove all the generated gas."
Cheng Chuan felt that there were quite a few traps in this mission. Fortunately, he listened to Ning Shu's advice and insisted on finding sodium hydroxide to treat the gas, otherwise he and Wu Yi would not have been able to get out this time.
Ning Shu understood and went inside with the graffiti.
After the mission was triggered, Tuya was worried that there might be problems with the experiment, so she followed Ning Shu closely in every step. Ning Shu also did it carefully and cautiously, and Tuya did it along with her.
Ning Shu stared at the solution that reacted with the copper wire after heating, thinking that there should be no problem.
After the bubbles appeared and the magenta solution faded, she waited for a while to make sure the gas had been absorbed before removing the alcohol lamp and waiting for the test tube to cool.
Once it had cooled down sufficiently, she untied the reaction tube, pulled out the copper wire, and poured the solution into distilled water.
After standing for a while, a blue solution was obtained, which is copper sulfate.
At that moment, Ning Shu heard a system notification.
[Congratulations to player "Strong Man Doesn't Wash His Feet" for successfully completing the hidden mission and obtaining the helpful item: Black Ink.]
As soon as the system voice finished speaking, Ning Shu saw a test tube that was only one-third the length of a normal test tube floating in the void, with a stopper on it.
She quickly grabbed the test tube in mid-air, only feeling relieved once she had it in her hand. Turning her head, she saw that Tuya was also holding a test tube; they had successfully completed their mission.
When Ning Shuye walked out of the laboratory, Monkey Brother and Hai Brother knew that they had completed their mission, and then he and Hai Brother went inside together.
After Ning Shu saw them go inside, he said to Cheng Chuan:
"You guys wait here for them. I'll go to the library to borrow some glasses first. If I can get them, I'll tell Graffiti."
After they come out, tell them I'll be waiting for them at the library counter.
Cheng Chuan nodded: "Are you sure you can manage alone? Why don't you let Wu Yi go with you?"
Ning Shu shook her head: "No need."
As the saying goes, you get used to something the first time, but you get used to it the second time. She could handle it, and then she turned and left.
Ning Shu searched around the library and finally found her former work-study classmate on a certain floor of the stacks, and "borrowed" her glasses from her again.
She didn't ask how the other party retrieved the glasses; after all, it was a dungeon, and common sense couldn't be applied. As long as she could "borrow" something, that was fine.
After Ning Shu received the glasses, she whispered something to Tuya, believing that he could hear her.
She waited at the library for about an hour before Monkey and the others arrived, and Cheng Chuan came with them as well.
