Chapter 70 Safe Zone 1 (1) - Awakening to the Difference
Everyone thought it would be simple, but when they drank the ink, they all looked utterly hopeless.
The taste—it's hard to describe. Even after you swallow it, you always feel like ink is about to rush back up your throat.
Who designed this? Did they refer to textbooks?
Others only eat a couple of bites, but you're making us drink 1200 milliliters? Are you crazy?! Ning Shu wailed inwardly.
Even a top-tier player would be overwhelmed by this, with each pot containing 1.2 liters!
Ning Shu gritted her teeth and finished off the remaining half of the milk carton! Then she stumbled off to take the exam.
This trick really worked. The moment Ning Shu gripped her pen after the exam started, she felt as if she were possessed by something.
I started answering questions quickly, and my writing was so fluent that I didn't even need to think.
Because she answered the questions quickly, she returned to normal before the exam bell rang, having already finished the last stroke of her pen.
She quickly put down her pen and picked up the exam paper to check it.
Although she didn't understand it, she felt that she must have answered correctly, yes, she must have.
After the exam, she asked Cheng Chuan and found that their situation was the same as hers, so she felt that there should be no problem.
Thus, they took the exams for three consecutive days. After handing in the last exam paper, Ning Shu received a notification from the system.
[Congratulations to player "Strong Man Doesn't Wash His Feet" for clearing the "Reversed Middle School" fixed dungeon.]
[The player is about to leave the instance. Points will be calculated after the player leaves the instance.]
[Your ranking in the top 10% of players at the same time has been achieved. You have earned 50 points.]
Please select the reward item you wish to receive: 1. A magical pen; 2. Black ink; 3. Ordinary glasses.
Ning Shu glanced at the three options and fell silent. Damn it, none of them were useful!
The first one is that you can't write without ink.
Secondly, even if there is a pen, the player still has to drink the ink themselves.
The thought of the indescribable taste and texture of ink made Ning Shu feel nauseous.
She decisively chose the third option and clicked confirm.
[Do you want to select this item as a personal item?]
Ning Shu thought for a moment, then clicked "No," and then heard another "ding" in her ear.
Player information is displayed as follows:
[Player nickname: Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet]
[Skill: Sky-Splitting Strike]
[Points: 95]
[Game Level: L1]
[Overall Ability: C1]
【Personal Items: 1. Sharp Blade (3001)】
[Warehouse Items: 1. A pair of couple bracelets (207); 2. Ordinary glasses (138)]
[Player information displayed. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!]
What a joke! I'm never coming back to this dungeon again!
After making her choice, Ning Shu returned to the starting point.
Because it was inside a tunnel, it was pitch black all around. After all, the player built it from scratch, so the lack of lights was understandable.
"Cheng Chuan? Wu Yi? Have you come out yet?" Ning Shu called out.
"I'm here." That was Cheng Chuan's voice.
"I'm here too." That was Wu Yi's voice.
"Let's head back then." Ning Shu couldn't see where they were, but she could see the light behind the tunnel.
"good."
When they came out of the tunnel, they found Li Mengqi sitting in the car waiting for them.
At that moment, her car was open, she was wearing sunglasses and basking in the sun, and music was playing inside.
It's incredibly comfortable; having this kind of setup in a game is practically the epitome of wealth.
Wu Yi rushed over immediately, leaning against the car door to deliver a high-EQ speech to Li Mengqi: "Sister Meng, you actually came to pick us up, that's great!" Then he started praising her in various ways.
Ning Shu also went over, pulled Wu Yi aside, and hugged Li Mengqi tightly through the car door, saying happily, "Sister Meng, you're so great! I love you to death!"
He was jumping around as he spoke.
Ning Shu didn't forget what Li Mengqi had told them before entering the dungeon: to go back to safe zone 1 on their own.
As Li Mengqi spoke, she took off her sunglasses: "I missed you guys, and since I had nothing else to do, I figured you'd be out soon, so I came to pick you up. Aren't I good to you guys?"
"Great, really great."
Not to mention martial arts, even Ning Shu has become obsequious. Who wouldn't prefer to take a car and save some walking effort?
That's Sister Meng's overflowing love for them, how could we let her down!
After the three got into the car, they habitually opened "Creation Map" and marked "Tooth Shadow Tunnel" and the name of the instance they entered on the map.
Li Mengqi drove towards the safe zone.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ning Shu hummed along to the music, clearly enjoying herself.
"How was this dungeon?" Li Mengqi didn't know which dungeon they had entered.
"It's difficult, extremely difficult. We almost didn't make it out," Ning Shu replied.
"What instance did you enter?" Li Mengqi asked curiously.
"In the 'Reversed Middle School,' obtaining the fountain pen prop is quite difficult, as is the way to use the ink."
"I think this dungeon is alright. If you ask your teacher, he'll tell you to do the quests in the library."
The task was quite simple: put five books on the back-to-school category shelf within two hours. There were even some helpful items, so I thought it was manageable.
Li Mengqi responded casually after hearing this.
"What?! Only 5 books in 2 hours? Are you playing the same instance as us?" Ning Shu felt like she had been hit hard and said in disbelief.
Li Mengqi frowned after hearing this: "What's going on with you guys?"
Ning Shu then began to pour out her grievances, describing the situation of this instance as one of ups and downs and fraught with crises.
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi couldn't help but admire the exaggerated words and absurd sentences the girl used when telling her story.
No wonder any story becomes unrecognizable after being "processed" by a girl's mouth; she's definitely honed through gossip.
Ning Shu didn't know what others thought of her; she only felt that what she said was particularly true.
After listening to Ning Shu's account, Li Mengqi asked, "Did you encounter any veteran players in the dungeon who specifically farmed this dungeon?"
A moment of silence.
Ning Shu and the others were reminiscing. She remembered that Tuya had said that before they met, there seemed to be several players in the library who were doing tasks with great familiarity.
Players who are so familiar with the game's patterns might be veteran players? According to Tuya, there seem to be quite a few of them.
But she couldn't be sure if it was true, since the other person didn't have "veteran player" written on their forehead.
Cheng Chuan could more easily confirm this.
They should have been able to see other players while doing the quest, but surprisingly they didn't.
What's even stranger is that he didn't seem to see all the players in the time that followed.
This only shows that some players, although they are also doing the tasks, almost never appear in front of other players, and they should know how to pass the level.
They are most likely hiding.
