Chapter 76 Safe Zone 1 (7) - Si Zhong Makes His Appearance
"Have you forgotten? In the Dark Paradise instance, didn't he kill his companion right in front of us? Right after the Bumper Cars incident?"
Ning Shu's reminder made Cheng Chuan realize what was happening, and his first thought was to look at her: "You asked such a dangerous person for directions?"
Ning Shu was having another headache. This was really going to happen: "I only saw his back at the time, so I didn't recognize him."
Cheng Chuan: "Did he recognize us?"
After all, they had met several times before, but only once in person.
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment: "I don't think so."
Cheng Chuan: "Next time I see him, I'll stay away from him. He seems very dangerous."
"good."
Si Zhong didn't recognize them, after all, he had met too many people.
For him, a brief encounter was hardly memorable.
He was walking down the street when he noticed someone following him. He was very alert, and the other person wasn't very clever in doing it.
The other party followed him for a long time but did not make a move. He wondered if the timing was not right.
He stopped, thinking about where he could create an opportunity for the other party to make a move, but to his surprise, as soon as he stopped, the other party turned around and left.
Does this mean they know they've been exposed?
He wasn't about to let the other person get away with it, so he turned around and followed, eventually subduing the man at the corner.
He found the other person to be rather weak. Putting aside their short arms and legs, their physical fitness was also poor. How could someone like that be following him? It was practically suicide.
He pressed for answers for a while, and listened to the other person's explanation, but he didn't quite believe it. However, when the person the other person claimed to "like" actually appeared, he began to waver.
The person the other person liked did indeed resemble him in build, so it didn't bother him in any way, and he gave up on the idea.
Normally, he wouldn't bother listening to other people explain these things, but today he was in a good mood, so he decided to do a good deed for the day.
Cheng Chuan and Ning Shu went straight home, since they had spent quite a bit of time outside that day.
Ning Shu returned to her bedroom, took off her clothes, and checked her hands. She found several bruises, which she guessed were caused by the other person's excessive force.
What an unexpected disaster! She wailed in her heart.
Cheng Chuan knocked on the door, handed her a cup of tea, and said, "Don't be too lazy. After resting today, come to training with us tomorrow."
Ning Shu nodded: "Okay."
Cheng Chuan stared at her for a while before asking, "Why are you suddenly wearing glasses?" He remembered that she wasn't nearsighted.
Ning Shu suddenly realized: "Oh, this is a prop. I was just testing it out."
Cheng Chuan understood: "Is it a prop learned from the reversal technique?"
Ning Shu nodded, and Cheng Chuan didn't ask any more questions. He had used the glasses in the dungeon and roughly knew how to use them.
Ning Shu reflected on the mistakes she had made and decided to try her best not to do anything that could cause misunderstandings in the future. However, this also showed that she was not suited to stalking others.
However, in the game, it's still necessary to learn the skill of tracking others; she'll have to ask the coach for advice tomorrow.
The following day, Ning Shu appeared at the Small Universe Burst Training Camp with Cheng Chuan and the others.
Gao Jun and the coaches were used to the trainees disappearing for a while, then returning, or even never returning, after all, this was a life-or-death survival game.
Gao Jun was very happy to see them again, which showed that his organization could still help others.
The sharp-tongued coach never expected to see Ning Shu again, after all, he thought this weak newbie would definitely die in the dungeon soon.
Unexpectedly, the other party reappeared after disappearing for a few days, and her opinion of Ning Shu changed somewhat.
"Coach Ying, good morning." Ning Shu greeted Ying Zhinian warmly.
Ying Zhinian snorted in response, which was extremely rude, but Ning Shu was used to his obnoxious manner.
"Coach Ying, what are we practicing today?" Ning Shu ran over to find Ying Zhinian after finishing her warm-up exercises.
Because Ning Shu's foundation was too weak, she couldn't attend the advanced class with Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi, so she could only attend the basic class with Ying Zhinian.
The basic course mainly focuses on building up physical fitness before moving on to more advanced fighting skills.
In fact, combat skills are not necessary. In dungeons, you either use your brain or resort to brute force. The latter basically involves using skills or items.
Practicing combat is all about improving reaction speed to prevent being ambushed.
Physical training is for escaping in critical moments, since running fast is one of the ways to save your life.
“You’ve definitely been slacking off these past few days while training your physical fitness. Look at your small frame, you’re so frail,” Ying Zhinian said with dissatisfaction.
"Well, the last dungeon mainly required a lot of brainpower, so I was indeed lazy," Ning Shu explained, scratching his head sheepishly.
Ying Zhinian: "Let's run ten laps to warm up first."
Ning Shu suddenly thought of something: "Coach, after training, could you add a course on how to track other people?"
Ying Zhinian glanced at her: "You? You think you can stalk someone?"
Ning Shu knew he would underestimate her: "I was forced into this. There are always times in the dungeon when you need to follow other people."
If I don't learn something, I'll easily be discovered. Learning more skills means a better chance of survival, right?
Ying Zhinian remained noncommittal: "You finish your physical training first, and I'll make the arrangements."
So that means he agreed? The coach is indeed stubborn but soft-hearted. Ning Shu was secretly delighted.
Three hours later, Ning Shu felt she was about to die. At this point, she had a rope tied around her waist and was dragging a huge tire behind her as she ran.
Ying Zhinian was instructing others on training when he noticed out of the corner of his eye that her speed had slowed down. He pointed at her and shouted:
"Xiao Ning, you're crawling like a tortoise! Hurry up and run!"
No, did you install radar on me? You yelled as soon as I slowed down a little. Ning Shu wailed inwardly.
She thought that since she hadn't been here for a few days, the coach would let her train gradually. However, after ten warm-up laps, she was immediately thrown into high-intensity physical training.
Another hour later, she was finally able to rest, sitting in a chair, soaked to the bone.
It was lunchtime, time for a break.
Ying Zhinian walked over and looked her up and down:
"After you've dried your sweat, take a hot shower and change your clothes."
Take a break at noon, and come back this afternoon for follow-up lessons.
Ning Shu had thought he was going to arrange more training programs for her and was racking her brains for a way to refuse when she heard him say this. She was so happy that she almost jumped for joy: "Okay, Coach."
When Ying Zhinian saw her beaming smile, he shook his head and left.
The new accommodation wasn't too far from the training camp, about a 10-minute walk. They usually rested for two hours at noon, so after Ning Shu took a shower, she went back to the accommodation with Cheng Chuan and the others for a nap.
Taking a nap is something ingrained in the genes of Chinese people; those who have the opportunity will take a nap.
