Chapter 164 Linked Together (4) - Giving Him a Gift
Si Zhong was amused by Ning Shu's words. Even if he had the ability, could he really help her? Had she forgotten their argument downstairs?
Ning Shu hadn't forgotten, which was why she came to ask. She was waiting expectantly for Si Zhong's answer.
Si Zhong, feeling her stare at him like that, suddenly wanted to tease her and said truthfully, "So what if you can let go?"
Will he help her put the trash in the bin? The answer is definitely no, but he won't tell her now; he'll refuse after she asks for it.
What could be more interesting than giving someone hope and then crushing it?
"Here, take this. You can put it in your space. It may not be pretty, but it's a prop, so you won't lose out." Ning Shu held the trash can in both hands and handed it to him.
"..."
Give it to him? Give him a trash can? This has completely baffled Si Zhong.
He had considered many possibilities, such as her throwing a tantrum to get his help, or using threats and inducements, but he never imagined that she would give it to him.
The key question is, who would be so kind as to give someone a trash can? What's the difference between that and giving someone a clock?
Why should I collect a trash can?
"Because it's a prop, it's a gift, and besides, you always have to throw away the trash, right?"
Ning Shu began to argue, "As an educated person, it's basic etiquette not to litter. So, isn't it good to have a trash can?"
She didn't really want to give it away, but she had too little space to fit it, so she figured she might as well give it to him instead of throwing it away.
The reasons are simple. First, it's a way to make up for accidentally cutting him off earlier. Second, it's to make up for the unpleasantness and get him to treat her better in the future.
It was probably an attempt to bribe the other party, but the gift was a bit shabby.
"So, should I thank you?"
Ning Shu sensed the sarcasm in his words, but she didn't mind and said frankly, "No need for thanks, just keep it."
After saying that, she shoved the trash can in her hand to Si Zhong. Si Zhong, caught off guard, hurriedly took it and then... fell silent.
Why is he so irresponsible? Now he's in a bind; refusing seems like a bad idea.
Ning Shu urged, "Hurry up and put it away, we're about to leave."
How come the situation has turned upside down? Si Zhong seemed a bit out of it; he lifted the trash can and it went into his spatial dimension.
When he finally realized what had happened, he almost wanted to slap himself. How could he have done that?
He quickly adjusted his mindset. Since things had come to this, he might as well consider it as gaining an item. Anyway, he could sell it later, and no one would complain about having too few points.
Ning Shu stood in front of the wood and glanced down.
Wow, that's high! She was a little afraid she wouldn't be able to stand steadily, so she stepped back and let Si Zhong go first.
When Si Zhong saw Ning Shu standing in front, he originally wanted to watch the show, but the other party actually chickened out, which he found somewhat amusing.
The other party was urging me so hard just now, I thought she wanted to take control, but I didn't expect her to back down so quickly.
Si Zhong leaped up and landed steadily on the log.
I have to say this dungeon is a bit of a pain. The wooden planks are small and slippery, and there are so many more behind them. It's clearly designed to prevent players from getting through easily.
Seeing that Si Zhong had stood on it and seemed quite steady, Ning Shu felt a bit braver and jumped up as well. However, when she landed on the wood, she couldn't help but sway left and right.
Stay calm, stay calm!
Ning Shu was screaming in her heart. After finally regaining her balance, she followed Si Zhong step by step forward.
She walked carefully, her eyes constantly fixed on her feet, afraid that she might fall if she wasn't careful.
They're probably about 30 stories high off the ground right now, which is quite high. If they fell, they'd be turned into mincemeat.
Si Zhong looked back and saw that she was still relatively steady, so he ignored her and continued walking forward, soon arriving at the second log.
He successfully landed again. When it was Ning Shu's turn to jump, she had just landed on the wood when she heard a scream from nearby.
Startled, she slipped and fell.
However, she stopped after the chain was straightened, because Si Zhong, who was pulling the chain above, looked at her with displeasure: "What are you afraid of when someone calls?"
After saying that, he forcefully pulled her up.
When Ning Shu touched the wood with both hands, she felt so secure. Si Zhong stood sideways on the wood, squatted down, and pulled her up.
Ning Shu was afraid of falling again, so she used both legs and all four limbs to grab onto the wood and move from the side to the top of the wood before she could breathe a sigh of relief.
When Si Zhong saw her come up, he stood up and urged, "Hurry up and stand up, let's keep going."
Ning Shu didn't want to get up at this moment: "No need, I'll just walk like this." After saying that, she hugged the piece of wood and moved forward little by little.
Si Zhong watched Ning Shu's actions speechlessly. He was standing, she was lying down, and they were moving forward using both their hands and feet, with a chain between them.
The whole scene looked like someone was walking a dog, which probably made the player watching from the nearby pillar burn out their CPU.
Wait, are they a couple? At a time like this, why are they acting so wildly?
Ning Shu had no idea how she looked to others at that moment; she just thought the pose was quite nice.
Her skill lies in using both hands; she can even climb ceilings, and she's completely at home on this piece of wood.
Si Zhong watched as she climbed quite quickly, so he didn't say anything and continued walking forward, with screams coming from time to time.
Ning Shu was curious, so she stopped to watch the drama unfold. She noticed that a group of players nearby seemed to have lost their footing and fallen.
Her gaze followed the other person as she fell, and although she was now quite high off the ground, she could still see some things.
After the players who fell to the ground, they seemed to be able to move. This "movement" refers to their ability to walk freely, rather than any physical reaction of their hands and feet.
The player didn't seem to die from falling. She was so sure because she saw the group of players leave the drop point and move up the spiral staircase.
Although she couldn't see the players' exact expressions because of the height, they seemed to be alright based on their rapid movement.
Perhaps because she was lost in thought for so long, Si Zhong noticed and turned to urge her, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
"Oh, I'm here." Ning Shu withdrew her gaze and continued crawling forward.
Ning Shu crawled across like this the only time she needed to stand up to jump from one log to another.
It has to be said that her actions were truly impressive. Si Zhong realized that she wasn't holding him back and didn't say anything along the way.
At the end of the last piece of wood was a large, exposed rock, with some withered yellow grass growing in the cracks of the rock, creating a desolate scene.
Standing on the rock, Ning Shu felt a gentle breeze blowing by, which was quite refreshing.
