Chapter 468: 468
“Okay . What do I need to do?” Han Lu asked Shen Xixi .
Shen Xixi simply smiled, picking a small black flower from the flowerpot . She tore off a petal and handed it to Han Lu . “Swallow this petal and just go to sleep . ”
“Well! What do you know . This is exactly what I want to do before I die!” Han Lu laughed at herself and took the petal . “What will I see when I close my eyes? Will it be a nightmare, or perhaps hell?”
“We are about to find out . ” Shen Xixi paused for a moment . “I don’t know if he told you, but you may not be able to wake up after you close your eyes, so…”
“I’ve left a suicide note and a video . Don’t worry, if an accident happens along the way, the police won’t suspect you . ”
“What I actually want to say is, do you have anything else to say?”
“I have written my will in the suicide note, and since I’ve already said too much tonight, I don’t think I need to say anymore,” said Han Lu, before turning to Zhang Heng . “I’ve had a bit of a drink . What I said earlier… I hope you don’t take it to heart . ”
Zhang Heng nodded, “I wish you the sweetest of dreams . ”
Han Lu changed into her pajamas, lit a stick incense, washed the flower petal down her throat with warm water, and laid down on her big bed . Three minutes later, her eyes popped open again . “You guys are standing around my bed! I can’t sleep even if I’m sleepy . ” “We’ll head out first then . Anyway, the average killing time for the Dreamland of Death is two hours,” said Shen Xixi .
After that, the four quickly retreated to the living room outside .
While waiting, the young boy called Li Bai began exploring the place like a curious baby .
“Sister Xixi . I think a large piece of china like this could be worth tens of thousands . ”
“I don’t know much about porcelain, but the ones Han Lu collects usually costs millions of yuan,” replied Shen Xixi, shaking her head as she gave the place a once over .
Li Bai was shocked to the bone when he heard that .
“Hey, this china is worth the points I can earn in a round of the game? Is this woman as rich as Jack Ma or what?”
“There are far more wealthy people in this world than you know,” snapped Rabbit . “You exchange your game points with money every day, but I bet you can’t imagine someone buying 3,000 game points in one go . ”
Li Bai was flabbergasted . “Let me calculate how much it costs… Err… Wow! At least 100 million yuan!” he said, his tone a notch higher than it already was . “But must say . though, I am quite satisfied with what I currently have . I used to work as a barber’s apprentice at a hairdresser’s, washing the hair of customers . I worked so hard that the skin on my fingers almost peeled off, and for that, I earned only 1,500 yuan every month . Now, at least I’m capable of sending my family some money every month . I also covered my sister’s tuition-fees and brother’s wedding cost . ”
“Idiot . It would help if you treat yourself better as well . Everyone is working hard to accumulate game points and exchange them for game items to strengthen themselves . You are the only one that failed to save up any game points so far . All you’ve done is spend them all,” lamented Rabbit, seemingly a little annoyed .
Li Bai scratched his head and chuckled . “I still have Sister Xixi and you . Don’t worry . I won’t hold you back . Just leave the threats to me . I’ve been fighting since I was a kid, and even if I’m outnumbered, I’ll never make a run for
it . ”
“…see that’s the problem over there . Normal people would be smart enough to escape if their enemies are more powerful than them . No matter how reckless you are, you will only have one life . If you lose it, you won’t get it back,” Rabbit went on with a frown .
On the other side, Shen Xixi was looking at Zhang Heng
“What’s the matter?” Zhang Heng asked .
“So, about the monster capable of melting the wall… was it defeated by you?”
Zhang Heng did not deny it . “Oh, you mean Zavilcha? Yeah, I killed that thing . ”
“It looks like you saved me again, huh . ”
“Again?”
“When we went camping before, didn’t you help us drive away some bastard?”
“At that time, I didn’t know you were a player . Even if I didn’t make a move, you could have easily handled it,” said Zhang Heng . “As for Zavilcha… If you didn’t buy me time, I wouldn’t have gotten back to the hostel for my game items . Besides, you also helped me this time . I guess we are even
now . ”
Shen Xixi shook her head . “As I said, we don’t know the mechanism of the Dreamland of Death . All we have is a general idea . I needed to run some experiments on it, but unfortunately, we never got the opportunity to do so . This time, we are just taking what we need . ”
After the topic, the two did not know what else to talk about .
Shen Xixi and Zhang Heng shared a somewhat awkward relationship . They both went to the same school and were classmates and friends, but they were actually acquaintances . They didn’t know each other very well, and within a regular semester, they barely spoke to each other .
Now that she knew Zhang Heng was a player, they seemed to have gotten a little closer . That said, being players, they automatically remained mum about their current circumstance to a player of another team if they didn’t know each other well .
Zhang Heng suddenly remembered something . He then passed Piercings’ contact with Shen Xixi . “Have you people been recruiting recently? You can try to contact him . He was with me in the previous quest . I think he’s a police officer . He has skills and integrity . You might want to talk to him . ”
Shen Xixi thanked him and took the number . “What about you? Are you interested in joining us?” she asked . “We are not a guild, and our management is not as strict as well We only gather when a problem occurs . We aim to work hard to protect this city . ”
“Sorry, I’m used to running solo,” said Zhang Heng, “But you can come to me for help if you encounter something tricky . I’ll see what I can do . ”
Despite knowing how valuable a person like Zhang Heng was on the team, Shen Xixi did not force Zhang Heng to join her . Fifteen minutes had passed since Han Lu swallowed the petal . Noticing the time, Shen Xixi opened the bedroom door, and the four walked toward Han Lu’s bed . This time Han Lu’s eyes remained closed . Her breathing was steady, and her cheeks were still a little flushed after all that drinking . Shen Xixi stretched out her hand and nudged Han Lu’s body . As expected, Han Lu did not respond exactly like the middle-aged man Zhang Heng encountered on the train .
Shen Xixi slowly retracted her hand . “It’s time to start,” she told the three people beside her .
There were four petals left on the little black flower that had been just picked . Rabbit carefully tore off the four petals, passing one to each .
“Swallow the petal, and you can enter her dreams,” said Xixi to Zhang Heng . Beside them, Li Bai was already on the floor after he swallowed the petal . Rabbit, on the other hand, had moved to a couch . She shifted around until she was comfortable, then ate the petal too .
Shen Xixi found a spot to lie beside Han Lu, “The bed large . You can lie next to me . ”
Zhang Heng wasted no time and laid right beside Shen Xixi .
Shen Xixi put the petal in her mouth . “See you on the other side,” she said .
