Chapter 43: Prepare
After receiving Qi An's prompt, Lin You naturally took action. To be honest, during the time since Qi An was in her body, Lin You only thought about offering this big Buddha, and really didn't want to get any benefit from him. But with this unexpected gain, Lin You is still a little better at the saddle.
For example, Qi An fell in love with kebabs during this period of time. As long as it wasn't too much, Lin You also took him to eat. The resulting increase in food intake did not make Lin You fat. After all, learning to dive requires consumption. A lot of physical strength.
Yes, diving.
The fishy smell of the sea naturally thought of the ocean, so Lin You searched for a series of legends and bizarre stories about the sea on a thousand degrees. The most common ones are the mutant creatures on the bottom of the sea, such as great white sharks, giant octopuses, etc. There are also some stories of mermen and shipwrecks. Every story tells Lin You that swimming skills must be good.
As I said before, Lin You is a girl from a water village, and her swimming skills are not bad. But there is a difference between fresh water and sea water. In addition, Lin You has never been exposed to diving in the Shanghai area. She doesn't know how to use an oxygen bottle. In order to prepare in advance, Lin You immediately bought a plane ticket and chose a coastal tourist city.
I will praise the system here. It is good to have money. When Lin You went there, he found a well-reputed homestay to live in, and through the owner of the homestay, he found a diving instructor. I have to say, as long as you are willing to spend money, Lin You only arrived the day before, and the next day Lin You already brought all the diving equipment to the sea to enjoy one-on-one teaching.
During this time, every day at sea, Lin You's skin was tanned to a wheatish color, and even the vest line was about to be trained.
"The oysters here are good." Qi An expressed his satisfaction. Lin You only needed to use some roadside stalls or food stalls to get rid of him.
"Well, then do you think grilled oysters or braised crayfish are delicious?" Lin You suggested to choose one of the two.
"Crayfish, because I ate oysters." Qi An's reason for choosing was a scumbag, and Lin You was amused.
Lin You trains during the day, and naturally, at night, you have to enjoy life. At night, Lin You would look for delicious food or interesting shops in the streets and alleys of the city. This kind of life was something Lin You never dared to imagine before. However, Lin You felt that except for the time bomb that he had to enter the dungeon at any time, there was nothing wrong with his current life.
After Lin You finished eating and settled the bill, she quickly returned to the B&B. Since the last incident, she seldom wandered outside after nine o'clock.
"It's just today." Qi An suddenly said when Lin You was wiping her hair after taking a shower.
Lin You paused, but did not speak. After throwing the towel away, he went to rummage through his backpack.
If the space grid is equipped with props, the same item can be stacked 99, but if you put things in the back pack, it is the same item.
Lin You didn't like to put props in the backpack and then put them in the space grid. First, she had few props, and secondly, Lin You felt that something really happened and she couldn't use those props in time.
The peace charm was hung around her neck, and the red thread was wrapped around her wrist. She put the other four talismans directly in her pocket. As for the space grid, she put water and food.
Yes you heard that right.
The situation at Xu's house was terrible. If there was a problem with what he ate at the beginning, Lin You would have ended the game long ago. In order to prevent that situation from happening again, Lin You prepared water and food for himself in a ratio of 2:1, with more water than food.
This time it may be at sea, and freshwater resources are a little more precious.
"Bring sugar." Qi An reminded.
"Yes, yes, I see." Lin You said perfunctorily with a bag of plum candies in the side pocket of the backpack.
Really, like a child.
Regardless of whether Lin You was perfunctory or not, Qi An achieved his goal anyway, and he was very satisfied.
The surroundings were dark, and this time Lin You was still lying on the bed to enter the game.
Silence and silence, only the three light screens in front of them radiate light. Lin You was already prepared. She wanted to buy the map, but when she saw something else, she immediately moved her target.
"Key clues 300 points / piece"
It just happened to be all the points in Lin You's hand, but Lin You thought about it for three seconds before taking pictures decisively. Last time, she made a mistake in the direction of the main quest. If it wasn't for Qu Zile's help, she might have been in danger. Therefore, she asked for this clue.
"Ding Dong, congratulations on getting the key clue: a scam."
Before Lin You could react, her consciousness slowly began to blur.
maritime? scam?
Lin You woke up again on a bus. The front and rear of the car were clearly defined. Divide the people in the car into two groups. The people in front were motionless, while at the back, Lin You was behind. Naturally, this was the NPC and the player. two groups.
"Sister, are you awake?" There was a question from the side, Lin You turned her head, it was a black-faced man in his thirties.
"I'm Zhuang Zhou, and this time I'm a cameraman." The black-faced man patted the things on the seat next to him and introduced to Lin You.
"Lin You." The corner of Lin You's mouth twitched, Zhuang Zhou? This guy's parents are pretty good at naming things. She also complained about this, and immediately touched her side, and found her student ID card from the backpack next to her.
"Lin You, a graduate student of **** Ocean University."
The identity is simple and clear. When Lin You saw the words Ocean University, he had a bottom line.
"Huh? Our identities are different. I'm here to interview." Zhuang Zhou took out a small notebook and handed it to Lin You, "We're going to a village, and the pearls produced in that village are the best in the country."
"Mermaid?" This was Lin You's first reaction.
"Oh, I think so too. This dungeon may not be a supernatural dungeon, but a dungeon of magical creatures." Zhuang Zhou was very talkative. "I also think of mermaids or something."
Lin You nodded, and went to look at the others. The number of people in this dungeon was nearly half less than the previous dungeon. There were only six people, and one of them was an acquaintance.
Snow White.
Lin You didn't expect her to survive, but it was almost understandable. Bai Xue is still in a coma, but even if Bai Xue is awake, Lin You doesn't plan to touch her.
The value shown by Bai Xue in the last dungeon was not high. Unless Bai Xue was crossed by someone during this time, Lin You felt that it would be really troublesome to bring her along. And this should be Bai Xue's second dungeon. It should be unlikely to be a survival mission. With Bai Xue's character, the possibility of successfully passing the level is too low.
"What, do you know the girl?" The black-faced man saw that Lin You's gaze stayed on Bai Xue's body for a while, and he couldn't help but speak.
He really wanted to form an alliance with this girl, not to mention anything else, this girl is the second to wake up, which can prove her ability. Moreover, this black-faced man looked Lin You up and down, hey, these arms are not soft, they seem to have been practiced. He Zhuang Zhou is not a man who prefers sons to daughters. He has strength, and both men and women are the same.
"I saw it in the last game. She was a newcomer at that time." Lin You didn't say much, she showed little interest in Bai Xue, and Zhuang Zhou naturally understood her attitude.
Soon the third person woke up. It was a man named Qian Liwei, who seemed to have experience in two games. After he woke up, he subconsciously moved closer to the strong Zhuang Zhou, the fourth one was Bai Xue, and the rest were two newcomers.
Lin You felt bad when she saw Bai Xue's eyes after she woke up. She found that people in this game like to hug their thighs. Of course, this behavior does ensure its own survival rate to a certain extent, but this behavior has a weakness, that is, it is easy to form dependence.
Bai Xue's weak Liu Fufeng's body shows that she has not trained much at first glance. Lin You thinks that even if Bai Xue is lucky enough to pass the novice dungeon, she does not really understand the cruelty of this game. I'm going to talk about Lin You here. She is the kind of person who looks fat. She has a round face since she was a child. She is obviously 168, and 50kg makes people feel fat. When I was a child, relatives and friends have always said that the family owned a store, and the children raised here are sturdy.
A girl's use of sturdy to describe it is really hurtful. Lin You hasn't been hurt yet, and all those broken mouths were sprayed back by Mother Lin. Those who came out to open a shop had to be in contact with all three religions and nine streams. Mother Lin's mouth was really poisonous. Therefore, there are no such rumors in Lin You's life anymore, and she has grown so well nourished along the way. With such a physical foundation, Lin You's previous high-intensity fitness can go on smoothly.
"Sister Lin You." Bai Xue jumped over like a little rabbit. Originally, everyone in the last three rows sat alone, and the two newcomers sat in the last row. Bai Xue had to squeeze over, so Lin You had to push her over. The backpack of this identity belt is carried on the body.
"That's great, I'm also from Ocean University. Sister Lin You is my senior sister." Bai Xue looked at her identity, but she took the student ID card that Lin You was holding in her hand and glanced at it. .
"Oh, it's really fate." The Qian Liwei hurried to smooth things out. Although he was very optimistic about Zhuang Zhou, Lin You was stronger than him, and he also held the words "I have never met my former teammates."
"That's right, Sister Lin You helped me with the last plate." Bai Xue took Lin You's arm and looked at Qian Liwei with a little smugness. Qian Liwei had a smile on his face, but he couldn't see his specific mood.
Lin You and Zhuang Zhou looked at each other, and Zhuang Zhou couldn't help laughing. He thought it was quite interesting, really, ahem, life is full of different things, isn't it?
Before Lin You could open his mouth to refuse, the last two newcomers woke up. As usual, the first to wake up was usually the first to lead the newcomers. Zhuang Zhou explained the situation to them. The two naturally couldn't believe it, but there was nothing they could do.
The static characters in front of them and the static scenery outside the window are particularly strange. Surprisingly, this new couple is still a couple. They look like they are in their twenties, and they should be the working party.
After learning about the specific situation, the female body in the couple leaned towards the man and did not speak much. It seemed that the two of them had the same position, and the person who negotiated externally should be the man.
"Then, what should we do?" The man's name was He Rongjian. He touched the bracelet as Zhuang Zhou said, and found that the situation was different from what Zhuang Zhou said. "It's not a survival mission."
"Not to survive?" Zhuang Zhou was a little surprised.
"It said that it wanted me to find the shark bead." Zhou Yaxiu, one of the lovers, said, and went to see her boyfriend again, "How about you?"
"Same."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and the corners of Lin You's mouth pursed, her mission was to find the shark bead. But the shark beads of adult sharks.
"It won't be the same as the mission goal." Bai Xue said suddenly. The atmosphere is even more condensed. If there is only one quest item, then everyone is a competitor.
"No, it's not the same. It's talking about the shark pearls of the mermen above the growth stage." Qian Liwei said, "It's definitely not the same, right?"
He looked at Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou nodded, his mission also has qualifiers, but it is certain that there should be more than one merman.
"This should be a group of mermen, so don't be afraid."
His words gave everyone a reassurance. It's not just the same thing, it's just the same thing, so how can they compete with these old players?
Lin You looked at Bai Xue, and when Bai Xue said those words, she took back the hand holding Lin You's arm. Now seeing Zhuang Zhou say that everyone's mission goals are different, the corners of her stiff mouth softened again, and she was about to continue to hold Lin You, but Lin You dodged her hand, looked out the window with her bag in her arms, and stopped talking.
There are only so many people, Bai Xue and Lin You's little actions are not stupid people, they naturally see it. Suddenly, everyone's eyes on Bai Xue were different. Bai Xue had just enjoyed the envy of the two newcomers and Qian Liwei, who had passed two copies. Lin You was slapping her face by hiding like this. She naturally felt the change in everyone's eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. .
Glancing at Lin You resentfully, all she got was Lin You's back. Then Bai Xue shifted her target, her tearful eyes looked at Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou touched his nose and avoided it. Turned around to mention some newcomers to pay attention to.
Snow White:…
Soon, the NPC as the background board also started to move. As the big brother in this team, Zhuang Zhou naturally went to inquire about the news.
He moved forward skillfully, took a box of chewing gum from his pocket and handed it to the person in front, and said casually:
"When is this coming? My **** hurts in the car."
The man glanced at Zhuang Zhou with a little impatient look on his face. Let's not talk about the village they are going to. The road is not easy to walk, and there are bumps and bumps along the way. It's really broken. He took the box of chewing gum and ate one
"Where do you know, it's too far here."
"Pfft, you say, where can we bring some special products?"
"Oh? You are quite an idea, you can bring some pearls back, but they are unprocessed..."
Zhuang Zhou's actions made He Rongjian in the back seat act as well. He is a salesman himself, and he is very eloquent and will judge the situation.
He is a newcomer, and this is his disadvantage. If he doesn't show his useful side as soon as possible, how can he let those old people give him some advice? So he took the initiative.
"Brother, have a cigarette." He Jianrong handed the cigarette over, and he licked his lips, "Do you know if there is any story in this village? Let's hear it."
But what he didn't expect was that his cigarette was not picked up, and the man gave him a cold look.
"You are a graduate student who specializes in this. You know more than our TV stations. Why are you asking me?"
As soon as the NPC said this, all the NPCs in front, including the driver's head, turned 90 degrees, staring at He Jianrong.
He Jianrong released his hand, and the smoke fell to the ground instantly. His expression froze on his face. This inhuman scene scared him into a fight. Zhou Yaxiu, who was behind the car, screamed. Bai Xue covered her face with her hands and curled up in her seat.
Putting a hand on He Jianrong's shoulder, Lin You said lightly to He Jianrong:
"Your girlfriend is not feeling well, why don't you take care of her?"
He Jianrong was like a puppet. It took more than a minute to process Lin You's words in his head. After understanding Lin You's words, he turned around tremblingly:
"Yes, yes, my girlfriend is not in good health, I, I am going to take care of her."
Lin You withdrew her hand. The reason she just went over Bai Xue and came out to help He Jianrong was because she quite admired this kind of initiative guy. A new person, even though he may be a newborn calf, is not afraid of tigers, but he has the courage to take the initiative. Looking at He Jianrong's figure, Lin You secretly sighed that he hoped that he would not lose the initiative due to such a fright.
Afterwards, Lin You explained to the NPC that He Jianrong took the initiative to chat with before.
"I'm sorry, my classmate, he is quite forgetful about his work, and the tutor often says that he listens to the wind and rain, so let's go to that village. He was excited for a long time, maybe he went too far, and there is a problem with his speech, please don't mind."
"Really?" The eight or nine heads in front opened their mouths in unison, and Lin You nodded calmly.
"That's it, eh? The village is here?"
Lin You didn't divert her attention, it was true. At the end of the road, houses and figures did appear. The driver turned his head and stepped on the brakes. Lin You quickly supported the back of the chair on the side to stabilize his body.
Seeing that the NPCs who had returned to normal seemed to have forgotten what happened just now and got out of the car, Lin You knew that He Jianrong's test was over.
"Sister Lin You, it's all thanks to you." Bai Xue learned a lot this time, no longer rushed over, but started to praise Lin You. It's just that she touted it, and she added an eventful sentence:
"Some people don't even look at their abilities, they're all messed up."
Bai Xue's words made He Jianrong, who was sitting in the back of the car, blushing. His girlfriend was so angry that she wanted to start a fight with Bai Xue, but he was held back.
He Jianrong will judge the situation. He knows from the previous things that the relationship between Lin You and Bai Xue should not be as good as Bai Xue's performance, but after all, others are old players, he has to endure, he knows that the first impression is very important. Now, he didn't want to give a bad impression, and Lin You really helped him just now.
"Thank you, I was careless." He Jianrong raised his head to thank Lin You, but obviously, before Bai Xue didn't say anything, even if he didn't say thanks, he looked at Lin You with gratitude. But now, I said thank you in my mouth, but the gratitude in my eyes retreated a lot.
Lin You nodded, glanced at Bai Xue, and deeply felt that this was really a **** stirrer. If it wasn't for her not wanting to make everyone feel that the team was unfriendly when they first met, she would have wanted to hate her for a long time. Lin You didn't care whether He Jianrong thanked him or not, but the problem was that she was uncomfortable when she did a good deed, what did she want.
"No, you're fine. Originally, in this game, as a player, you have to take the initiative." Lin You looked at He Jianrong, "If you continue to persist like this, you will go far."
Lin You, who had only passed two copies, had no face to say this as a senior. But she couldn't bear it any longer for Bai Xue, and she was reluctant to fight against a girl, so she could only press Bai Xue by praising He Jianrong sideways.
"Bai Xue, He Jianrong is actually worth learning."
The last sentence successfully turned Bai Xue's face blue, and Lin You ignored her and turned to get out of the car. It's too late to complete the task, where is the time to play these twists and turns with teammates. When passing by Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou gave Lin You a thumbs up with the back of his chair.
Bai Xue, this little girl, really has nothing to do, and there are many thieves talking about it. Zhuang Zhou avoided Bai Xue's help-like gaze, thinking to himself, and he even greeted everyone to get out of the car quickly.
Not long after everyone got off the car, the driver who was driving with his feet turned the car around and drove the car onto the dirt road again. Zhou Xiuya almost wanted to get in the car uncontrollably, but was held back by her boyfriend.
The NPCs did their own things, but no one greeted Lin You and the others. After waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time, a 50-year-old Sven old man wearing glasses came over.
He greeted Lin You and the others with a blushing face. Note that it was Lin You, Bai Xue and He Jianrong, because these three were his students. He is even Lin You's mentor in this dungeon.
"Lin You, you are here?" Lin You's identity is considered to be a senior sister, so this mentor Chen took the lead to say hello to Lin You, "Oh, those beads are beautiful, really beautiful."
He couldn't stop sighing, but Lin You didn't interrupt him with a polite smile. Instructor Chen greeted Lin You and others to go inside, and there was a problem when they walked.
Zhou Yaxiu is naturally unwilling to be separated from her boyfriend, but she is from a TV station, so this is naturally very obvious. Lin You gave He Jianrong a wink and told him to solve it quickly, but how could such a thing be so fast?
"Little He, what's going on?" Instructor Chen found that the back of the team was still pulling, frowning and looking unhappy.
The couple He Jianrong and Zhou Yaxiu were shocked, their hands tightened even more subconsciously, and they looked at Instructor Chen at the same time. Lin You quickly rounded up the game:
"Isn't this what the TV station brought us here?" When Lin You just got off the car, she saw the TV station's logo on the car, which was the same as the logo on Zhuang Zhou's camera. "During this time, Xiao He and this young lady... We are all young people, hahaha."
Instructor Chen's expression was still not very good, but he didn't trigger the expressionless death stare skill. The couple took the opportunity to release their hands quickly, and Zhuang Zhou also came over and pulled Zhou Yaxiu's arm back.
"I happen to be looking for you for something, hurry up and follow me." Zhuang Zhou winked at He Jianrong, reassuring him. He Jianrong nodded gratefully, turned a few steps and followed Lin You and they said:
"Teacher, I'm really, really sorry." After speaking, he scratched his head, feeling like a youth.
Instructor Chen did not speak, but Bai Xue interrupted.
"On the way here, it's just you and me. It's not enough, Junior Brother."
He Jianrong lowered his head so that it was difficult to see his expression, but at this moment he had the heart to eat Bai Xue, Lin You thought how could Bai Xue cause trouble so much? glared at her, then
"Bai Xue, have you written the thesis your supervisor asked you to write?"
"…"
Bai Xue: What, what paper?
Of course, Lin You didn't know any papers, she just talked about it casually, and it was none of her business anyway. It's good to have a paper to write, at least Bai Xue can control her mouth, right?
