Chapter 107 - Mermaid coast

Not everyone has the ability to go down from the fifth floor barehanded like Ji Yuanzhi, so in order to speed up, he used props.

Despite this, Wen Shi still arrived downstairs before him and waited.

Wen Shi has a strong night vision ability, and the two sides are suitable for cooperation. After discussing it, they decided to go to the cafeteria.

There must be quite a few of the nearly 200 players coming to complete the mission tonight. The supermarket has a limited area, which makes it difficult to avoid pursuit when encountering danger. The school cafeteria has three floors, so the activity area will be larger.

The cafeteria has red walls, and the mottled look is a bit shocking under the cover of night.

The lock of the gate was hanging on the side, and the door was open. Ji Yuanzhi looked at the lock and said, "Someone has arrived before us."

The shop was only on the first floor. Wen Shi had excellent eyesight at the moment and pointed in a direction: "Go straight to the left."

At the same time, it jumped onto Ji Yuanzhi's shoulder and said, "There are six or seven people hiding at the corner of the second-floor stairs, peeking in."

Ji Yuanzhi said what he had not seen: "There were no less than twenty people lying in ambush along the way we came."

When there is insufficient information, it is much safer to directly start looting than to complete the mission.

Each player had different priorities. Some would specifically go out around 3 or 4 in the morning, as the later it got, the more dangerous it was outside, and the fewer people would be waiting to rob them. Others would go closer to dawn. The small group squatting above the cafeteria wasn't there to rob, but to verify the store's rules with other players.

But at this moment, they were deeply confused.

The light was too dim, and the players could only see with the help of special props. Then they saw a mermaid and a black cat.

"?"

NPC, or player in disguise?

How to explain the black cat?

Just as they were about to observe more carefully, a player suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He reached out and touched his neck, then looked up with the help of night vision goggles.

water.

Dense water droplets had gathered on the ceiling at some point, and the humidity in the air was suddenly several times higher than in the dormitory building.

The player's breathing became irregular, and the places where the water dripped felt cold to the bone. He couldn't help but feel panicked and warned his teammates beside him: "Retreat first..."

Before he could finish two words, the player's blood began to flow backwards and his entire neck felt like it was frozen.

It's cold, so cold.

He felt a pair of very slender hands go around the back of his neck. The hands gently pried it apart, and with the sound of breaking ice, the player's head was separated from his body and rolled down the stairs.

The night vision goggles were still on his head. The player opened his eyes wide, and before his pupils completely dilated, he saw several companions on the stairs.

A huge mermaid figure appeared behind them. The mermaid was at least two meters tall, with excellent body proportions. Its lake blue curly hair grew like seaweed, and several strands of hair were tightly wrapped around the necks of its teammates.

The player's head hit the corner of the table, and his consciousness completely dissipated. He could no longer see, but he knew what was going to happen next.

This improvised dormitory team will soon be wiped out.

Of course Wen Shi and Ji Yuanzhi heard such a loud noise.

Ji Yuanzhi knew that his disguise tonight was effective, but Wen Shi's worship of the moon was ineffective.

The mermaid did not prioritize attacking the thieves in the convenience store, and was somewhat fooled by Ji Yuanzhi's appearance.

Unfortunately, this deception cannot last long.

Several heads rolled down the stairs one after another. When they came out with the cake, the terrifying mermaid was standing a few meters away, and the air was filled with a thick smell of blood.

The moment he looked into those misty blue eyes, multiple thoughts flashed through Wen Shi's mind. These mermaid-like features of the players must be properly portrayed. There were indeed mermaids in the academy, hiding in the dark and watching their every move.

The mermaid pendant is put into the backpack and can be used at any time.

It can be taken out for self-defense, so it is not very important.

I just don't know if Ji Yuanzhi has any tricks to save his life... Multiple thoughts came together. Seeing that the mermaid did not directly attack, but just stared at him, Wen Shi was quite surprised. Could it be that his transformed body really has an inhibitory effect on mermaids?

Try it.

"Meow--" First, it lowered its front body, assuming the posture of a cheetah attacking its prey, and then called out in a pretended ferocious manner. The moment it opened its mouth, the bread in its mouth fell out.

"…"

Very good, bloodline suppression is all a dream, the mermaid's cold and cruel eyes still contain murderous intent.

The cat's long tail whipped Ji Yuanzhi's calf, signaling him to run. Wen Shi picked up the bread from the ground again and rushed towards the door.

The mermaids were elusive, and they were no match for them in terms of speed. It would be more effective for them to stand still and observe their possible weaknesses. Therefore, Ji Yuanzhi was a little surprised that Wen Shi chose to escape at this moment.

Wen Shi had good reasons for choosing to escape. Firstly, his body was agile enough. Secondly, when he tried to show off his power as a cat, he saw a hint of the way he usually stared at the little octopus in the mermaid's pupils.

...That's the look you give to a mentally retarded person.

Regardless of species, people will be more tolerant of the mentally retarded.

They did not actually trigger the rules of death, and for the mermaids they were killable or not.

"555~" Are you chasing me?

As he ran wildly, an indistinct sound was heard.

Ji Yuanzhi was a little impressed that he actually understood it, and looked back.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, where the moonlight only illuminated a small fan-shaped area, the mermaid stood there quietly, her emotion unremarkable.

"He didn't catch up." said Ji Yuanzhi.

put

They totally refuse to admit that this is a successful battle to care for the mentally retarded.

There were gusts of cold wind outside, and the dim street lights brought a slight comfort.

The black cat stopped running and flicked its tail. Ji Yuanzhi also stopped and used a dagger to cut an extremely thin and sharp silver wire between the two trees.

Behind the rule of not killing each other, players have come up with many new tricks: potions, traps, exploitation of rules, etc.

Black Cat looked at Ji Yuanzhi. There were only a few sparse trees below the dormitory building, making it relatively safe and unsuitable for hiding. However, it was still nearly a thousand meters from here to the dormitory building, and it was difficult to defend against them along the way.

Ji Yuanzhi stood still, his eyes glancing at the back of the fountain not far away. He put on a speed-up item and rushed forward quickly.

There were three players hiding behind the fountain statue. One was knocked down by a flying kick, and the other two were elbowed in the stomach.

Ji Yuanzhi controlled the strength very well, just like the last time Li Nan attacked Wen Shi. Behind this was the experience summed up by various major organizations after countless experiments.

"Everyone, please take a step back and we will pay 500 points..." They were still confused when they were ambushing him, but now they are completely sure that this person is a player. The big guy was holding his stomach and was about to negotiate the price, but Ji Yuanzhi directly opened the anesthetic of the black car driver and forced them to inhale it.

He put a wig purchased from the game store on one of the men's head, asked him to close his legs and turn them to the side, with his body leaning against the fountain statue. The other two were put in a kneeling position. From a distance, it really looked like believers kneeling to worship a mermaid.

Ji Yuanzhi: "During the time we were away, some smart-alecky people must have gone to the dorm manager and reported seeing a mermaid."

They only need to wait outside the dormitory building and wait for the dormitory manager to come out to check the situation, and then find an opportunity to sneak in, without even having to go through the trouble of climbing over the balcony.

Using the bushes and trees to hide their figures, the man and the cat avoided taking the main path. When they were almost at the dormitory building, they saw the skinny dormitory manager going out from afar.

The two players followed the dormitory manager as informants.

After hiding behind a tree and waiting for the others to go away, Wen Shi and Ji Yuanzhi immediately ran towards the dormitory building in the distance. The door was wide open, and the cheap wooden door creaked in the wind.

The corridor was very quiet. Wen Shi took advantage of the cat's almost silent walking to explore the way ahead. Fortunately, the dormitory building was relatively safe on the first night, and they returned to the dormitory safely.

The door of Room 502 was not locked. Xiao Li and A Zhuang, who lived near the door, were very unhappy, but Jian Qingrong ignored them. Seeing that he was sitting near the door guarding it, the two of them did not care.

At this moment, the dormitory door was pushed open.

The corridor was pitch black, and they only vaguely saw a figure walk in. The person went straight back to the middle upper bunk to rest.

Where is Pei Wenwei?

Could it be that he was killed by the NPC because of the report made in the afternoon? Then this strongest newcomer would be unworthy of his title.

Xiao Li thought maliciously, what a pity, he had been thinking of extracting information from the other party so that he could take credit for it to the organization.

After locking the door, Jian Qingrong paused slightly when passing by the place where the two people put the cups, and then walked to bed number three.

He was tall, and it was easy for him to put the kitten on the upper bunk. In fact, he wanted to put it next to his pillow. In the darkness, the soft pad of flesh stepped on the back of his hand, and Jian Qingrong couldn't help but pinch it lightly with his backhand.

Wen Shi had never known that he had this sensitive spot on his body before. Coupled with the game setting that walking was painful, he felt numbness and tingling, and he reflexively scratched Jian Qingrong with his claws.

He regained his senses quickly, and even though he controlled the force in time, there were still a few bloody marks on the opponent's wrist.

Wen Shi turned his head and wanted to apologize, but in the darkness he saw that Jian Qingrong's chest was rising and falling faster than usual.

...He was excited, he was thrilled.

Thinking of Xie Tangyan's advice, Wen Shi lowered his eyes.

Sister, this guy is even more perverted than you think.

·

Nothing happened overnight.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ji Yuanzhi's alarm clock rang.

People in the dormitory woke up one after another. Wen Shi was actually the first to wake up. After washing up, he sat on a stool and ate cake. When Xiao Li saw that he was still alive, he was surprised for a moment.

"You..." Xiao Li was startled by his own voice, which was as hoarse as a broken gong. He looked at his teammates nearby and said, "A Zhuang, my voice is hurt."

A Zhuang frowned and was about to speak, but his throat was also hoarse and his eyes widened as he opened his mouth: "Xiao Li, what's wrong with my throat?"

The two men covered their throats and looked at each other in surprise.

Wen Shi glanced at Jian Qingrong and said calmly, "Maybe you have a cold. Go to the school clinic and have a look."

Xiao Li suspected that he knew about the report and took revenge in private, but he was sure that no one followed him when he went downstairs yesterday, and poisoning was against the rules of the game. In the end, he could only go to the school clinic with full of doubts.

After the two left, Wen Shi laughed: "What are you doing?"

With Jian Qingrong's style, it's either poisonous and mute or poisonous to death. He created a voice like this that makes people shiver when they hear it early in the morning.

"Pathfinders. Through them, we can know whether singing badly will cause trouble."

Big Eyes followed Wen Shi through two copies. Jian Qingrong knew that if he violated certain rules, it would result in accidental death.

Different dimensional spaces have different 'laws', and what he needs to do is to let Wen Shi avoid them.

Wen Shi thought silently, is he doubting that he is tone-deaf?

The suspicion is scientifically sound.

With the zombies as a negative example, he felt that he was somewhat affected.

Across from them, Ji Yuanzhi tossed a bag of cake to Jian Qingrong and Song Yan. Suddenly, an announcement rang out in the corridor: "All freshmen, please gather at the underground stadium before 8:30."

The broadcast was played three times in a row, echoing throughout the corridor.

Wen Shi finished the last bite of cake and wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth. The cafeteria was not open yet, and it would probably take another hour or two before the murder could be reported.

Before throwing the bag, he stared at the name of Linyuan Food Processing Factory for two more seconds.

Eating this cake can cover up the results of the medical examination. Doesn't it mean that the factory is helping the mermaids to cover up their identities?

share?

"Lin Yuan..."

The name of this factory is very intriguing.

The packaging bag was thrown into the trash can. Wen Shi lowered his eyes and thought, it seems that the mermaids' influence has penetrated deeper than he imagined.

Oh, and they might be rich.

After breakfast, Wen Shi changed into his school uniform. His golden body proportions made him look good in anything, and he looked very youthful.

Without student numbers or class divisions, it is likely that whoever arrives first can have the physical examination first. Since Wen Shi had nothing to do anyway, he planned to queue up in advance.

Jian Qingrong walked downstairs with him, and Song Yan hurriedly followed. Only Ji Yuanzhi made the bed in an orderly manner and walked out slowly.

There was a small blackboard left in the dormitory with a notice of criticism written on it:

Pang Chu, Pan Houhe and Shi Nuo from dormitory 306 sneaked out of the dormitory building in the middle of the night and went to the fountain to disguise themselves as mermaids to create panic. They have been expelled.

Wen Shi withdrew his gaze, thought of the fatal silver line last night, and whispered, "You served it right."

The gymnasium is built next to the basketball court. The area inside is comparable to the underground garage of a shopping mall. The light entering is limited, so the lights need to be turned on even during the day.

Under the old light tubes, there are four tables where medical staff are already preparing, with the tools needed for blood collection placed beside them.

Wen Shi looked around and didn't even see a scale to measure height and weight. It seemed that the physical examination only included blood drawing.

When he stole the cake last night, he didn't count the zombie's share. The latter was going to school under an imposter's identity, and he didn't need to take care of any of the player's tasks.

As long as Wenshi is not dead, the zombie can even be summoned back at any time when it encounters danger. In summary, the zombie is the easiest and purest learner.

At 8:30 as announced by the broadcast, the medical staff started drawing blood ten minutes in advance. Wen Shi was the first one standing in the first row, with a long queue behind him.

The medical staff who came to draw blood had a sickly pale complexion. Her voice was sharp: "Our hospital has the most advanced equipment. No matter what hidden dangers you have in your body, they can be discovered in time. Of course..." Her gray eyes rolled: "The equipment can also detect some other things in the blood. Once discovered..."

She didn't continue, ending with a warning snort.

At the request of the medical staff, Wen Shi completed the registration, rolled up his sleeves, and watched the puncture needle enter his blood vessels. The red and warm blood was no different from that of a normal human.

Three tubes of blood were drawn from him. "Next," the medical staff said coldly.

Wen Shi sat there performing local pressing while waiting for Jian Qingrong.

The medical staff glanced at Jian Qingrong's name and waved their hands: "You don't have to do it."

Sponsors have special privileges.

Wen Shigeng felt that this was the game's protection mechanism for the copy. Once the inspector discovered that Jian Qingrong's blood was very special, it might be the beginning of a biochemical crisis in this world.

The class time at Mingzhu College is late, with the first class at 10 o'clock and the cafeteria opening at 9 o'clock.

At about that time, Wen Shi took a stroll nearby. The cafeteria aunt who was responsible for opening the door reacted coldly after seeing the bloody and horrifying scene inside.

She looked around and saw some people on the roadside. She sternly told them to move away, saying that the cafeteria had been broken into and robbed, and she wanted to call the police.

Wen Shi's eyes tightened. With such skill, this must not be the first time such a thing has happened in the academy.

In less than an hour, the physical examination was completed.

Students started going to classes one after another, and the campus became bustling for a short time. Some players tried to talk to seniors, but were met with cold stares.

Mingzhu College focuses on the quality of students rather than their quantity. It is very difficult for local people to get in. It is just like the college entrance examination where there are thousands of people competing for a single spot. Special admissions students like them are quite unwelcome.

Without a campus card, you can't go to the cafeteria. Most people rely on a piece of cake in the morning to survive. During the lunch break, the broadcast sounded again, notifying all freshmen to go to the auditorium at 3 pm to attend the opening ceremony.

At three o'clock, the huge auditorium

There were only a few hundred people sitting inside.

About twenty players died last night. Those who emerged from the train station wearing hats or sunglasses to hide their pain were largely spared. Jian Qingrong passed by an uneasy newcomer who had clearly only played a few games, and they exchanged a few words.

He looked especially deceptive when he wore the mask of hypocrisy. As he sat down again, he said, "That person doesn't know anything. He thought sunscreen had special uses, so he always carried it with him."

Wen Shi suddenly had an idea and decided to go back and see the manufacturer of the sunscreen.

When I opened my backpack yesterday, I seemed to smell a fragrance that was stronger than the smell of ordinary cosmetics.

Ji Yuanzhi: "There are two forces competing secretly. The mermaids are in the dark and seem to have the upper hand."

Wen Shi nodded.

The person in charge of presiding over the opening ceremony was the dean of studies. Her hair was piled high, and not a single strand of hair could be seen on her smooth forehead. The dean of studies turned the welcome ceremony into a criticism meeting.

She pulled out a few players and asked, "Who told you to bleach and dye your hair right now? Also, why aren't you wearing your school uniforms?"

Jian Qingrong was not wearing school uniform either, but the sponsor's privilege came again and he was not scolded.

Among the players, there was a tough guy with a tattoo on his face. The dean of studies sternly said, "You, expel me!"

The man's expression changed: "I can wash it off..."

There are props in the game store that can temporarily cover it up, but they are quite expensive.

However, the dean did not listen to his explanation. He decided to make an example of someone and directly asked the security guard to drag the man who was still pestering out.

She returned to the stage, her gloomy eyes sweeping over every seat occupied by players. "Remember this! Smoking, dating, dyeing your hair, or getting tattoos while in school could all become scandals after your debut! Our slogan is..."

"Become the most shining all-round artist!"

In the audience, You Shi's eyes were shining, and he spoke this sentence more and more fluently.

The dean's eyelids drooped, creating a sense of oppression. "That's good to know." Her sharp lips moved as she emphasized again, "Don't let any scandal bring shame to the school."

·

School clinic.

The results of the morning's physical examination report are out, and the school doctor is working on compiling them.

Someone pushed the door open. All educators at Pearl College were wearing the same uniform. The young school doctor's cheeks flushed slightly when he saw the other person.

"The dean asked me to come get the test results."

"Okay, please wait." The school doctor picked out twenty suspicious reports.

The visitor frowned: "Is there a problem with so many freshmen?"

The school doctor, unsure of what was going on, broke out in a cold sweat and pulled out a separate report: "Those are just suspicions, but there's one new student who's been truly disrespectful."

The report that was pulled out was the medical examination report of the wandering corpse. When the person took it, he asked, "What's wrong?"

The school doctor took a deep breath: "He is pregnant."

"…"
