Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game

The set came close to failing.

Xia Zhiyi was greatly disappointed, turned around and left with her hands behind her back, still muttering: "Qiaozi is so unfeeling, she even forgot the fruit I fed her with my own hands when the sun went down that day... Ah, This heartless woman!"

Task NPC: […? 】

And what about the past?

What exactly did you do in the novice dungeon? ? ?

Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong were taken aback by their conversation, and couldn't help asking Jing Ruyu, "Who is Qiaozi?"

Jing Ruyu: "The task NPC of the novice dungeon."

Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong suddenly realized.

It turns out that some people are different from the beginning of the novice dungeon...

Xia Zhiyi stopped in front of Jing Ruyu.

The four eyes are facing each other.

"Go to the rooftop again?" Xia Zhiyi suddenly suggested.

"Go ahead and take another look." Jing Ruyu agreed.

Liu Xue and Chen Jianxiong are responsible for going to other places to continue to inquire about clues.

Following the route of memory, Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu walked to the rooftop exit again.

However, this time they couldn't easily open the door.

"The lock has been changed." Jing Ruyu touched the new lock on the door and said.

Xia Zhiyi didn't speak.

After Zhou Xiuxiu's accident, the school would replace the old lock to avoid other tragedies from happening here, and it was only natural.

"Let's go back, ask the person in charge for the key now, they will definitely not give it."

Jing Ruyu put down the new lock slowly, and replied, "Yes."

The clues to Tiantai may stop here.

…

After school, the students leave the classroom.

Those who go home go home, those who go back to the dormitory go back to the dormitory, all smiling.

Only Xia Zhiyi was different, with a hint of sadness on his brows.

As the sun sets, night is about to fall, and Jing Ruyu has to face the unknown dangers alone again.

And none of the three of them could help her.

In the cafeteria.

When Chen Jianxiong thought of sleeping alone among a group of NPCs tonight, he began to feel a little nervous, and gradually he couldn't even eat well.

Liu Xue remembered that they hadn't found the ferry yet, and the time given by the new world was extremely tight, and she didn't have any appetite for a while.

The two sat together, facing the dinner plate in front of them, gloomy.

But compared to their slump, Xia Zhiyi's side was a little better, and she even talked a lot.

She gave Jing Ruyu her bag.

"There are a lot of first-aid items I took from the infirmary here, you take them all away, if you are not careful-pee pee pee, it is best not to use it!"

Jing Ruyu just looked at her expression and tone and stuffed the bag to himself awkwardly, and then smiled lightly after being stunned.

She slowly opened her bag, took two Band-Aids and a roll of bandage, zipped it up, and put the bag back in her arms.

"That's enough, keep the rest for yourself, it's best not to use it," Jing Ruyu imitated her, and then added, "Thank you."

When Xia Zhiyi heard this thank you, she suddenly fell silent.

This seemed to remind her that the relationship between them was no longer as close as before.

She gently hugged her bag tightly and replied, "You're welcome."

Liu Xue sitting at another table: "..."

These two are really strange.

Obviously sometimes intimate, sometimes so polite.

She doesn't understand, she really doesn't understand.

Could this be a local characteristic, a unique teammate relationship in the new world?

…

During school hours, there will be more guards at the school, so it is not suitable to climb over the wall to go out, nor is it suitable to use the president's trick again.

The same trick is used too much, which is easy to arouse suspicion and expose the truth. Jing Ruyu doesn't want to be like Chen Jianxiong and Wu Yong, who was taken to the head teacher by the school police and scolded for hours, wasting time in vain.

By the time night falls and the guards are finally reduced—the time has come.

Jing Ruyu found the place where she came back from the night before, and climbed out from the wall, her movements were careful and neat, always paying attention not to disturb the guard.

Using the buildings along the road to block her figure, she managed to leave the school.

She looked up at the sky, it was already completely dark, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

The arrangement of fewer guards seems to be deliberately done by New World, after all, the night is the most dangerous.

Forget it, no matter so much, she has to go to Liusha Park and come back quickly.

…

In bedroom 304, the lights are extremely bright.

It's still a few hours before lights out.

Xia Zhiyi lay on Zhou Xiuxiu's bed and looked at the board on the top, but she didn't see any clues, and then she started to lose her mind.

As soon as Liu Xue looked up and saw her lying on Zhou Xiuxiu's bed, the horrifying memories of last night flooded back instantly, and she couldn't help shivering.

"Why are you lying on her bed, what are you doing?"

"nothing."

Xia Zhiyi came back to her senses, her eyes were still looking up.

"Just thinking about something."

As soon as she finished speaking, bursts of air-conditioning suddenly rushed around.

Liu Xue felt that lying on the ghost king's bed and thinking about things was creepy enough.

She rubbed her arms and left the bedroom: "I'm going to wash up."

Xia Zhiyi responded without emotion: "Yes, good."

After the door of the dormitory was closed, Xia Zhiyi suddenly saw a change in the bed board in front of him.

The sticky long hair that made them so familiar and fearful appeared again, like a huge net spread on the lake, swallowing the entire upper bunk in an instant.

In the next second, Zhou Xiuxiu's face appeared in her vision without any surprise.

"You're thinking about her." Zhou Xiuxiu said.

They lay face to face, neither moving.

Then, Xia Zhiyi raised her eyebrows and said with a surprised smile: "I just lay down on your bed, and you will show up too?"

Zhou Xiuxiu said: "I come and go freely."

She looked at her and said bewitchingly: "Since you are so worried about her, why don't you go out with her?"

Xia Zhiyi calmly began to introduce herself: "Because I am a waste, if the waste follows me, it will only delay my progress."

Zhou Xiuxiu: "?"

Are you quite straightforward?

Xia Zhiyi looked at her, and suddenly said expectantly: "But if you can give me something like the ghost king's blessing, so that I can walk sideways in the dungeon, and the ghosts dare not attack me, I can break out immediately." School gate, serve her as a human shield and contribute to her strength!"

"..."

Zhou Xiuxiu: "I have no reason to give you these things for nothing."

"It's okay, don't regret it, you can create a chance for me to have these things," Xia Zhiyi comforted her and encouraged her, "Believe me, I can, I can do it!"

Zhou Xiuxiu: "...I'm not regretting this kind of thing."

Xia Zhiyi immediately expressed regret: "I'm really sorry about this matter that you don't regret."

She really wants this kind of super buff that can walk sideways in the new world.

And what player can refuse such an amulet?

Zhou Xiuxiu: "..."

Now she believed that there should be some personal grievances between this person and the other mission NPCs in the dungeon—just because of this mouth.

Xia Zhiyi stared at her, then suddenly smiled, her tone suddenly became serious and gentle: "Xiuxiu, Minghui said that she regretted not seeing you.

"She said, if I went to see you at that time, I would just give you a word of encouragement.

"She's blaming herself for your death."

"..."

What she said was Zhou Xiuxiu's silence.

The surroundings suddenly became very quiet, so quiet that a needle could be heard.

It was not long before she saw Zhou Xiuxiu make a sound.

"It's none of her business, I never blamed her."

At this moment, Xia Zhiyi suddenly sensed the humanity in this world.

It's not as cold and terrifying as the first dungeon. Although the ghost king here is suffering, he is still sane and clear about right and wrong.

She can also talk to the player calmly—if it was the ghost king of the previous world, she would have torn the player apart long ago.

"Xiuxiu," Xia Zhiyi said softly, "If you have something unhappy, you can tell me about it."

It was the first time Zhou Xiuxiu heard a player say such words to herself, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows slightly, and asked soberly, "Are you saying this for me, or to pass the test?"

"For passing the test, and for you." Xia Zhiyi was extremely frank.

It is true that I sympathize with Zhou Xiuxiu's experience and want to help her share part of the pain.

It is also true that I want to clear the level and get a clue or two from the conversation with Zhou Xiuxiu.

She, Xia Zhiyi, is so open-minded!

Zhou Xiuxiu suddenly laughed.

Laugh at her magnanimity, and also laugh at her directness.

"Not everything in this world can be easily said," Zhou Xiuxiu looked into her eyes, mysteriously, "Isn't the person you care about hiding something from you?"

Xia Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment.

Zhou Xiuxiu didn't say much, she melted into her black blood with a smile, only her voice fell lightly in her ears.

"If you're interested, look it up yourself—if you can bear it."

Xia Zhiyi looked at the bed that had become empty again in an instant, and slowly frowned.

Is Zhou Xiuxiu referring to her own secret, or Jing Ruyu's secret?

Why does she feel like she has both...

When she came back to her senses, she belatedly punched the bed board and shouted: "You must not hurt her!"

Zhou Xiuxiu never responded to her again.

She just lay there silently thinking about the question just now.

Without a clue, she sat up and went back to Jing Ruyu's bed to lie down, covered her body with the quilt to warm her body, and dispelled the chill just now.

No matter what, she now only hopes that Jing Ruyu will come back safe and sound.

As long as she's safe...

…

Boundless darkness enveloped the entire city,

A thick white mist can be vaguely seen in the distance, which is like a white wall, wrapping here and dividing different worlds.

Jing Ruyu avoided the white mist and followed the path he had walked towards Liusha Park.

The whole journey was calm, no different from last night.

The surroundings are still quiet, the street lights are still flickering, and there are dangers everywhere. Everything seems to indicate that what happened last night will be repeated here, and it will never stop.

Jing Ruyu didn't look sideways, she only had the destination of Quicksand Park in her mind—until Zhou Xiuxiu appeared and stopped her.

"You sneaked out of school again."

During the speech, there was a chill.

Jing Ruyu buttoned up her jacket calmly.

This coat was given to her by Xia Zhiyi later, saying that she was afraid that she would be cold when she came out at night—a wise move.

"Yes, I'm here again," Jing Ruyu calmly buttoned the top button, "I saw your social account, and there are many praises of Liusha Park on it, so I'm looking forward to it, and I want to see it, Ghost King Do you mind letting it go?"

Of course Zhou Xiuxiu knew her purpose, and immediately snorted: "You are not as open-minded as her."

Jing Ruyu asked vigilantly, "Who?"

Zhou Xiuxiu: "You know who I'm talking about."

Jing Ruyu's tone suddenly became serious: "What did you do to her?"

Zhou Xiuxiu became serious when she saw her, and turned around slowly: "It's nothing, she's not a brainless person."

She raised her finger in the direction of Quicksand Park: "I don't mind letting it go, but it's easy to get in and hard to get out, do you still have the guts to see it?"

Knowing that Xia Zhiyi was fine, Jing Ruyu was relieved, and then calmly said: "Since I dare to appear here alone, there is nothing I dare not to see.

"It's like when you study mathematics, no matter how difficult the subject is, you will never give up, will you?"

When Zhou Xiuxiu heard this, she smiled and said, "You are right.

"For you, let's go, I'll take you to the park."

She left as soon as she said, without even calling out a monster, as if she really wanted to lead Jing Ruyu the way.

The sudden generosity of the ghost king makes people have to be vigilant.

Jing Ruyu followed her neither far nor near, guarding against her while keeping an eye on her surroundings.

In the end, they actually walked to the quicksand park where the clues lived.

The Quicksand Park under the night is silent.

The bright garden lights hide on the side of the road, like stars falling into the mortal world.

When the wind blows, it is quiet and peaceful.

There is a large lake in the center of the park.

Jing Ruyu clearly saw a wooden boat floating on the lake, and a lonely lamp standing on the shore—the lamp of Tongguan Ferry.

In the next second, the voice of the broadcast sounded amidst the sound of rippling water:

[Congratulations to the player for finding the ferry and unlocking the opening day reminder.

[Hint: This ferry will be opened after the player completes the answer sheet.

[Please pay attention to the time, don't miss it. 】

Jing Ruyu said in her heart: Sure enough.

She was very glad that Xia Zhiyi found this place, and was also surprised that Zhou Xiuxiu really brought her here just like that.

At this moment, Zhou Xiuxiu who was standing in front suddenly said, "Liusha Park is very beautiful, isn't it?"

Jing Ruyu looked around and responded, "Yes, it's very beautiful."

Zhou Xiuxiu suddenly changed the subject and said something else: "When I went to see her, she was still worried about you and told me not to hurt you. It's a pity...you violated the school rules yourself."

After the words fell, countless monsters with strange shapes suddenly appeared all around.

They stared at Jing Ruyu viciously, their fangs seemed to be filled with venom, and they couldn't wait to bite through the skin of the person in front of them and eat her flesh and blood.

Zhou Xiuxiu turned around slowly and looked at Jing Ruyu who was surrounded inside.

"Now, it depends on whether you can get out of here alive."
