Chapter 95 Desert Search (18) - Other Players Appear
Wu Yi darted behind her like an arrow, pointing to a corner behind them: "Sister Ning, did you hear the explosion over there?"
Ning Shu was relieved when she saw that there was nothing behind him: "I heard you, what else did you see?"
Wu Yi shook his head: "No, I was just scared after hearing it, so I came to find you."
"..."
Brother, I'm scared too.
Ning Shu mentally complained, adjusted her posture, and calmed her slightly trembling legs.
Seeing that Ning Shu remained silent, Wu Yi asked in a low voice, "Should we... go and take a look?"
People are naturally curious about accidents or stories happening around them, a phenomenon commonly known as "eating melons" (or "gossiping").
Wu Yi was eager to know what had happened over there, but he was a little scared to go see the commotion alone, so he wanted to see if Ning Shu would be willing to go with him.
Ning Shu is just an ordinary person, so she also wanted to watch the drama unfold, but she hesitated for a moment because of safety concerns.
Then, I agreed.
Hesitation is a sign of respect for danger; watching the drama unfold is a way to satisfy curiosity.
So Ning Shu led the way with a short sword, while Wu Yi followed behind. Ning Shu suddenly felt that something was off about the scene.
Why did she feel like an old mother, protecting a little chick behind her? However, the little chick was a bit too big.
"Reversing the Heavenly Gang" was the first word that came to her mind.
Ning Shu thought to himself, "That Wu Yi is all muscle and no guts."
This unknown space was so vast that she didn't even realize there was another exit on the other side of the entrance they had come in through.
The explosion just now came from this exit.
Ning Shu instructed Wu Yi to be prepared to deal with any emerging dangers. Just as they were about to turn into the exit, they suddenly bumped into a group of dark figures.
"Aaaaaah!"
The sound didn't come from Ning Shu; she didn't have the stress response of shouting when she encountered danger, but she was still greatly startled.
The fright came not only from the group of people who appeared in front of him, but also from the screams of Wu Yi behind him.
"Damn it!" Ning Shu wanted to curse. She wasn't scared to death by strangers, but she was almost scared to death by her teammates.
"Xiao Ning?"
Ning Shu's mind went blank for a moment before she heard a familiar voice.
When I came to my senses, I realized it was Sister Li and her group, with other players following behind them.
"Li, Sister Li, what are you doing here?" Ning Shu asked, only realizing as soon as the question left her mouth that she had asked a pointless question.
"Of course we're here to do a mission. You guys are pretty good, so quick."
Sister Li looked at Ning Shu and the others with a hint of approval in her eyes, and was not angry at all because they didn't tell her.
They are all veteran players who have experienced countless dungeons and understand the intricacies between players. They don't resort to moral blackmail at the drop of a hat.
"If you're not going to leave, then get out of the way, you're blocking the way!" a player behind Sister Li said impatiently.
They had just discussed with Sister Li and the others how to use props to find and blow open the entrance before coming in.
Who knew that when they entered, they found other players already there, and it turned out to be that little girl who had told them they wanted to take over the oasis together.
Regarding the previous incident, because they didn't join, they ended up having to spend points to buy supplies, and these players had no objection to that.
However, Ning Shu's refusal to share the clues to the entrance displeased them.
They originally wanted to say something to them, but when they found that Sister Li, who was "very familiar" with them, didn't "blame" the other party, they shut up.
After all, the other party wouldn't even share clues with Sister Li and the others, so they certainly wouldn't with people they weren't "familiar" with.
Upon hearing this, Ning Shu quickly made way for Wu Yi, and then the players next to Sister Li went inside.
Sister Li and the other two didn't leave.
"Xiao Ning, what's going on here?" Sister Li asked. She and her companions had just arrived and wanted to be on the safe side by asking about the situation.
Ning Shu didn't hold back and directly introduced what he knew about the place, albeit in a brief version.
After saying that, she asked in return, "Sister Li, was that commotion you guys made?"
Sister Li nodded: "After you left, those of us who stayed in the oasis shared some information about the mission clues."
We then learned that there were players who could find the quest location, but they could only find the location and couldn't enter it.
My team had some bomb-like props, so we all came together.
After hearing this, Ning Shu thought they were really united and friendly. Just as she was about to express her admiration, she heard Sister Li say:
"Those who have props will provide props, and those who don't contribute will give points to those who do, so everyone is even."
Okay, she's overthinking it. In the game, there's no such thing as unity and friendship among players; it's all about "everything for points."
Ning Shu could only chuckle in response to Sister Li's reply.
Sister Li understood what her smile meant, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself, thinking to herself that there weren't many players this naive these days, and that the other person must be a newbie.
Compared to the two teams, Ning Shu's information was clearly more valuable, so Ning Shu asked again, "Sister Li, what's the situation with the entrance over there?"
Sister Li: "It was a small room with two exits. There were more than a dozen of us who came in together. We split into two groups, and the other group went to the other exit."
Wait, there's another exit? That means there are other places they haven't been to yet.
Secretary Ning left this place, thinking that when he returned here later, he would visit other places.
Sister Li: "Xiao Ning, if there are no more problems, shall we go inside, or do you want to go somewhere else?"
Ning Shu turned back to where she had been standing. She had originally intended to say that they should go back to where they had been, since she still needed to pick at the wall.
Then they saw the corridor at the opposite exit shimmering with golden light, and the light grew brighter and brighter.
Ning Shu was startled. She lowered her head, avoiding her glasses, and looked through the frame at the exit that had been shining with golden light.
This action was equivalent to taking off her glasses; she discovered that she couldn't see the golden light without them.
This indicates that the golden light in the distance belongs to a millionaire, and it's likely heading this way now.
Ning Shu felt that running into a millionaire was not a good thing; who knew if that lunatic would suddenly cause trouble?
"We'd like to go check out the exit you mentioned first, Sister Li, would you like to come along?"
Ning Shu followed up on Li Jie's question, saying that she wanted to persuade Li Jie and the others, but Li Jie refused.
"No, let's look around here first."
Ning Shu had no choice; she didn't have time to explain. She could only wish Sister Li and the others good luck. Perhaps a million wasn't so crazy after all.
"That's settled then. We'll split up. Be careful." Ning Shu said, then eagerly took Wu Yi and slipped away.
Sister Li looked at their hurried manner, seemingly lost in thought.
