Chapter 36: Official Meeting
Before getting out of the vehicle, Yu Jiang carefully checked the supplies on her body.
Defense +5 shoes, windproof and waterproof jacket, and an old clothes on top.
Things in the backpack slots might not have time to open the light screen in emergencies.
So she hid the remaining two poison needles with paralyzing effects in her pocket, adjusted their position to ensure they wouldn’t prick herself.
Attack +10 rhomboid bayonet with critical hit effect, no suitable protective cover found yet, it’s too sharp, so placed in the first space grid.
Multifunctional folding knife directly in the pocket of the work pants, along with some rope, medicine, compressed biscuits, flashlight, and such.
She also brought all the remaining blueberry fruits, leaving non-essential equipment on the vehicle.
Freeing up space, in case supplies are found, no worry about not being able to carry them.
Yu Jiang counted twice to confirm, then got out carrying the found old waterproof backpack.
With the space grids on the panel, the backpack isn’t very useful, mainly for padding, can cushion if fallen, reducing damage.
The sky is still overcast, next to the parking spot is an abandoned rest stop and public restroom.
Yu Jiang bent down to look inside, no useful supplies, the wooden house ceiling had collapsed, those wooden boards showed signs of decay.
Anyway, this rest stop’s style fits the desolate apocalypse road better, the service area seems added later.
Players who arrived first are all observing the surrounding environment and people, Yu Jiang is no exception.
Entering the instance, friend group chat channel and game area channel are temporarily closed, turning gray.
But next to the instance entrance map, the displayed player list will indicate friends, with digital ID numbers in green.
Yu Jiang discovered the friend here.
Unexpectedly, the list really has someone assigned to the same instance!
Yu Jiang opened the friend list, verified the digital ID number, and found it.
She hissed, it’s him.
This competes for hell difficulty.
In the instance, friend chat also can’t be opened, only profiles visible, just as Yu Jiang was about to send a private chat in the instance channel.
A message popped up on her side first.
X: “Discuss?”
Yu Jiang got interested, “Sure, I’m behind the rest stop, digging wild vegetables.”
Plantain, also a primary illustrated guide traditional Chinese medicine.
The other side was silent for a moment: “Okay, I’ll come over.”
Seeing this, Yu Jiang clapped her hands, holding the just dug plantain, sneakily looking left and right.
She was quite curious, other friends on the list revealed some information.
Like Hand Holding Cleaver Chopping Wire, weapons are two axes.
And Han Jiang Gu Ying, outdoor survival player, Pig Intestine, food blogger.
Except this person, who really has no information, and rarely speaks on the public screen.
Their communication between the two is limited to trade.
After receiving the message, Shi Xu headed to the rest stop wooden house behind, passing the corner, still several meters away, met a pair of probing eyes.
The wild vegetables in her hand were very conspicuous.
The two stared at each other like special agents meeting for a few seconds, confirming with their eyes.
But Yu Jiang still didn’t drop her guard, “Is it you?”
Shi Xu nodded, “Yeah, King called me to patrol the mountain?”
Yu Jiang didn’t approach, just said, “You open the light screen first.”
Although this person’s eyes looked a bit familiar, but he says so and it is?
She only trusts light screen information.
Shi Xu opened his light screen, only showing basic information, nickname and title, digital ID number.
Yu Jiang nodded, also opened her light screen to prove her identity.
Unexpectedly, X is so striking, those straight long legs, that waist, and a pair of beautiful eyes with long eyelashes, yet the temperament is indifferent, with clear aggression.
Yet relying on looks, he insists on being King of Competition.
Shi Xu was also sizing up the person in front, indeed unexpected, the first place is a girl who looks like low output.
Still someone met once, thinking of the bloodstains left on the road last time, if it’s her, it makes sense.
“The place you dug wild vegetables, behind is a long-neglected toilet.” Shi Xu looked at the wild vegetables in her hand and the nearby dirt pit to remind.
His voice is clean, with a slight depth, extremely pleasant.
Yu Jiang nodded in confusion, “Anyway for drug manufacturing, as long as it’s useful, no need to be picky.”
“…” Shi Xu thought of the medicine in his hand, shouldn’t have said that, best not to know where the medicine making materials come from.
“Big shot, why do I feel you’re a bit familiar?”
Yu Jiang scrutinized his face and figure, “Not trying to get close, I really feel familiar.”
Shi Xu’s lips pursed lightly, sincerely said, “Want to recall, survival day four, parallel road.”
Yu Jiang’s expression froze, then reacted, “It’s you! That motorcycle!”
She was thinking back then, if the person on the vehicle stopped to cause trouble, might as well go all out, luckily didn’t confront.
“Hand pretty decisive, Little Drill Wind big shot.” Shi Xu crossed arms, smiled lazily.
“Average average, still using the dagger traded from you.” Yu Jiang also smiled.
“Cooperate? This instance.” Shi Xu got straight to the point.
Yu Jiang: “How to cooperate? I want the ranking reward.”
Even as list friend and long-term monster toxin supplier partner, in personal ranking instance, she only allows herself to be one move short, not to not compete.
“Me too.” Shi Xu raised brow.
Ordinary supplies are fine, profession level up mission and reward attribute points, normal people would compete.
If she said she could yield, he’d think something wrong.
On this matter they reached consensus, Yu Jiang made a gesture to invite, waiting for him to continue.
“The info you said before isn’t guesswork, right?” Shi Xu looked at Yu Jiang’s smile that didn’t reach her eyes, continued,
“I have a skill upgrade mission in this instance, to kill a certain quantity of poisonous spiders and one spider queen, and game area ranking in top three.”
The other is straightforward, Yu Jiang didn’t hide, “I need spider venom, and spider silk.”
Spider silk in intermediate manufacturing materials illustrated guide, monster section, that thing can heal and restore health, extremely effective.
These days she memorized the illustrated guide until dizzy, memorizing even while showering and using the bathroom.
Knowing there are several Kings of Competition on the list, not working hard means strength gets left behind.
Shi Xu nodded, “I need your assistance, kill poisonous spider drops go to you, including spider queen’s toxin and spider silk, ranking each by ability.”
Spider queen, must be small BOSS level, drops definitely good stuff!
Even if ranking delayed by time, not a loss.
Group first place just 5 attribute points, game area top ten rewards the same, only resource box contents depend on luck.
“Deal!”
Yu Jiang reached out for a high-five, who knew, the other didn’t get it, air awkward for two seconds.
Just as she was about to withdraw, Shi Xu lightly clapped, “Deal.”
Official meeting: Digging wild vegetables near the toilet
