As Xi Xi talked with Li Jinshao, her gaze drifted to the vast, boundless sea outside the window, and she already had a plan in mind.
In this way, she can drive on the cross-sea bridge during the day at full speed, and at night, she can use amphibious and constant-speed automatic driving to fish at night while traveling.
Thinking this through, Xi Xi thanked Li Jinshao, then closed the chat window and stared at the Earth Spirit Guardian Shield she had just obtained.
The Earth Spirit Guardian Shield is round and carved entirely from dark yellow rock; at first glance, it is unremarkable.
However, the surface of the crystal shimmers with a faint radiance, as if it contains the secrets of the earth.
The shield was engraved with intricate runes, somewhat similar to the characters on the previous runes. A golden border engraved around the edge of the shield was inlaid with mountain totems.
According to the item's description, the energy is limited and it may not be able to completely isolate earthquakes. Xi Xi thought to herself that she shouldn't just hoard one; this protective shield is clearly meant for mass use.
Xi Xi pulled back to Liu Enxi's chat interface and saw that she had indeed kept her word and sent the earthquake information she knew.
Unfortunately, the information was nothing new.
Liu Enxi (Ping): "The information I have now is that there are not only mountains near the tunnel, but also the sea. This area is prone to tectonic activity and earthquakes."
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "How did you determine that there's a sea nearby?"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "There's an NPC in my unique storybook who said this."
A glint flashed in Xi Xi's eyes. There was Granny You in the rare book she had encountered before. Could it be that there was Granny You in this rare book as well?
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "So your task is to help this NPC?"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "You're really amazing. This NPC has amnesia; she can't remember who she is."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "This Earth Spirit Guardian Shield was also given to us by her."
Liu Enxi paused for a moment before continuing.
Liu Enxi (Ping): "The public chat says you were a very skilled player from server 777, right? You're the anonymous champion from the Food Competition, aren't you?"
Xi Xi frowned and returned to the public chat. Uh... sure enough, when everyone was criticizing Liu Enxi, they started talking about Cui Quan, and then the food competition, and then they talked about herself...
Liu Enxi (Ping): "Can you help me?"
Xi Xi fell silent, never expecting an ordinary transaction to escalate like this. While she lacked the virtuous quality of helping others, she…
Just then, the RV slowly came to a stop, emitting a slight scraping sound.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Chu Zhiqin turned around anxiously and shouted, "Oh no! This cross-sea bridge has forked! Which way should we go?"
Her voice echoed in the car, tinged with panic and confusion.
Hearing her mother's call, Xi Xi didn't dare to delay at all and hurriedly ran forward. She saw that the road ahead had split into four different paths!
Chu Zhiqin didn't sit still. She quickly searched through the photo album on her phone and soon found the escape route map she had saved earlier.
Based on the direction, it's obvious that the two roads on the right can be ruled out, but the two roads on the left are almost identical, and Xi Xi doesn't know which one to choose for a moment.
The mother and daughter quickly compared the route map with the pixel map displayed on the central control screen.
Based on the angle offset from due east, after repeated discussions and weighing of options, it was finally decided to choose the second fork in the road on the left.
However, it was during those few minutes of silence that Liu Enxi, who was waiting for news, became restless. She seemed to think that Xi Xi was unwilling to help, and immediately sent a long string of messages like an ant on a hot pan.
Liu Enxi (Ping): "I don't want any of the rewards from this dungeon, you can have them all!"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "All I want now is to get my sister out of here as soon as possible!"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "I can draw up a written agreement (screenshot from the screen)."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "Please!"
"A written agreement..." Xi Xi sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. If Liu Enxi was acting, she was really doing a pretty good job, portraying someone as pure and innocent.
Such unilateral agreements are ineffective not only in survival games, but even under the rules and regulations of the original world.
Putting everything else aside, Xi Xi was genuinely interested in that NPC, after all, the benefits she received from Granny You were for life!
She pondered for a moment with an inscrutable expression, then said to Liu Enxi, "Okay, but I have to drive and I'm really busy. You can just call me directly."
Liu Enxi (flat): "Okay!" Liu Enxi seemed to have no doubts at all and immediately dialed the voice call.
After the call connected, Xi Xi quickly steered the conversation to the NPC, and Liu Enxi naturally went to the NPC's side.
Xi Xi then heard an extremely pleasant female voice through the light screen:
"Who are you? How did you get in... Ah, my head hurts so much, why am I here? Let me out... Strange, who am I?"
[Adventurer detected has entered the story dungeon "Causality". Do you wish to join your current party and accept the NPC rescue quest?]
"Yes!" Xi Xi said without hesitation, a smile playing on her lips.
See, this is the correct way to use a written agreement.
Following the previous method of triggering the unique book, as long as you talk to the unique book NPC, you can successfully enter the unique book.
In this way, even if Liu Enxi regrets it later, Xi Xi can still get a share of the profits.
I never expected that this method of indirectly communicating with NPCs by talking to other players in the same instance would actually trigger the storyline!
This game has quite a few bugs... Xi Xi couldn't help but find it a little funny.
She made a huge profit from this, you could even say she made a killing!
There is no danger whatsoever while being behind a light screen, yet one can benefit from giving advice and guidance without having to bear the consequences of failure—it's practically a win-win situation!
