Ning Suisui is already regretting it.
She had originally planned on doing something good. She would kill Zhang Daoan while Jie Fangcheng was away. Even if she couldn't kill him, it didn't matter. As long as she could escape safely, she could find another opportunity.
But she never expected that Zhang Daoan would be so cunning and treacherous!
Zhou Heqi was not strong enough, so he hid in a corner on the second floor and waited, thinking that he could wait until Ning Suisui returned with a full load. Unexpectedly, he first heard the sound of something being dismantled upstairs, and then Ning Suisui's screams.
After a long while, Zhou Heqi felt that Ning Suisui might have been killed in the battle. Ning Suisui fell silent with blood all over her face.
Zhou Heqi was a little surprised when he saw her: "Captain Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Suisui's screams just now resounded throughout the cruise ship. Zhou Heqi thought he would see her with missing limbs, but when Ning Suisui came down, her limbs were intact. But she looked like a sandwich, with her head and feet covered in blood and the middle clean. Her whole body was as torn as it could be.
Ning Suisui didn't want to talk about what happened just now. Her face was solemn: "Ronghua has Jie Fangcheng and Zhang Daoan. It's a bit difficult to fight."
"Oh oh." Isn't this nonsense? The plan they made before going to the NPC was aimed at Zhang Daoan and Jie Fangcheng. Who doesn't know that these two are difficult to fight
"Let's change our thinking." Ning Suisui was still very serious.
Zhou Heqi tried to understand what she meant: "So now we are..."
"Unite all players, pool our wisdom and strength, and find NPCs to cooperate with... When necessary, use force to fight the BOSS." Ning Suisui looked very determined.
"Ah?" Zhou Heqi was stunned.
Zhou Heqi once asked whether they should unite with other players to fight against Ronghua.
Ning Suisui said at that time with absolute certainty: "We can't unite."
There are many good reasons. For example, Jie Fangcheng's identity is in doubt, and many players are on the sidelines, fearing that he is really from the underworld and dare not offend him; for example, players have their own ulterior motives, and it will take more effort to unite them than to deal with Ronghua.
Anyway, Zhou Heqi was convinced. This was because in previous copies, the risk of cooperating with players had always been very high. No one knew whether the "comrade-in-arms" standing behind him would suddenly turn around and stab him. What Ning Suisui said made sense.
But at this time, Ning Suisui suddenly wanted to unite other players, which made Zhou Heqi somewhat confused.
Ning Suisui explained, "When I went up just now, there was another group of players, about ten in total, and they were also robbed. The scores of Liu Guangming's twenty-three players were not high either, plus the seven players on our side... I just heard from Jie Fangcheng that Yan Xiaotong and the others were also robbed, and it seems that other teams have also lost their stats. Let's put it this way, except for Ronghua, the scores of the other players on the ship are very low. Let alone tomorrow's ship fare, they may not even be able to pay for today's accommodation."
Zhou Heqi was still a little confused: "Will this unite most of the players?"
"Yes. Because it's pointless for the rest of us to fight among ourselves. No matter how hard we try, we won't get any points. And no matter how much we scheme against each other, we won't be able to pay the basic expenses on the ship for these three days. When it's unprofitable for both sides, the players are most likely to unite sincerely." Ning Suisui was stunned when she said this.
Zhang Daoan's anticipated behavior left her with some psychological trauma. Speaking of this, Ning Suisui couldn't help but wonder: Letting other players unite, would this be another trap set by Zhang Daoan for her
But Ning Suisui couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought. If this was a trap set by Zhang Daoan, what was the point of him doing this
Ronghua now has thirty people and is the largest force on the ship. If Ning Suisui is the helmsman of Ronghua, she would be very willing for the other players on the ship to maintain the current scattered situation. After all, the weaker the opponent, the stronger their own strength will be. This is a recognized truth.
If Zhang Daoan's goal is to make the remaining 69 players gather together, even if Ronghua has Jie Fangcheng, a powerful weapon, can he still hold on
It is unacceptable for Zhang Daoan to strengthen his opponent's strength for no reason!
I must be overthinking it. In fact, even Zhang Daoan can make mistakes sometimes
Ning Suisui was puzzled, but no matter how puzzled she was, there was only one last way left before her.
"There are only about 20 points left in our team, which is definitely not enough to pay the room fee. The same is true for other teams." Ning Suisui looked at the first floor and said, "Let's go and find other players. I believe everyone must be in need of companions now."
.
While Ning Suisui and the others were looking for their companions, Jie Fangcheng and the others also broke into the fourth floor.
The skill level of Zhang Daoan's [Thousand Mile Red Line] is relatively low. If it is used on Ning Suisui, it will be easily discovered by the girl, so he changed someone.
Zhou Heqi.
Although Zhou Heqi did not go to the fifth floor with them when they went to look for the captain, he was hiding on the fourth floor. With a little guesswork, Zhang Daoan could figure out the captain's approximate location.
"But why are there no stairs?"
Jie Fangcheng looked up.
He could also vaguely smell a foul odor.
Many of the bosses in this game have a stench that is very suitable for being fryed in a frying pan a thousand times, but because his work scope does not cover this aspect, Jie Fangcheng is unable to accurately locate them most of the time. After Zhang Daoan pointed out the location, he could smell it above his head if he smelled carefully.
After walking around the area for a few times, the few people left.
After they left, a newly appointed butler NPC in a tuxedo poked his head out from the corner, then tapped his fingers at different locations, and a ladder dropped down from the ceiling.
The butler quickly climbed up to the fifth floor and the secret door closed quickly.
The corridor on the fifth floor had been cleaned, but a faint smell of blood could still be smelled. The butler knew that this was the smell left behind by the death of the previous butler, the eel.
The captain was moody, so the new steward didn't dare to delay. He immediately reported after entering the captain's lounge: "They were on the fourth floor, where the eel brought Ning Suisui up. They lingered for a while and looked up before leaving."
The captain sneered, "That guy named Jie Fangcheng - he used to be on the third floor. This is his first time on the fourth floor, and he was able to find the secret door so accurately. It seems that this guest named Ning is not very honest."
After that, the captain confirmed again: "Are you sure that they couldn't find the stairs and had to leave with regret?"
The new butler just stared in the corner. He didn't know if it was a "regret", but when such a cruel boss asked such a question, there must be only one answer: "Yes! They are helpless!"
Captain Octopus finally felt relieved. He stretched out his tentacles from the pool. As the tentacles rolled, they brought out a disgusting smell of rotting corpses. The sticky tentacle finally landed on the butler's shoulder.
The butler stood in front of it with his head down, not daring to move, allowing the hair-raising tentacles to slowly move around his neck.
"Xiao Hu, I have always been optimistic about you. If you hadn't helped us open the cabin door, we wouldn't have been able to occupy this cruise ship so easily."
Captain Octopus said earnestly: "I believe that you will not make me worry about these disobedient guests like the eel did, right?"
Butler Hu was frightened, but he could only respond loudly: "I will definitely put these disobedient guests into your pool, please rest assured!"
Captain Octopus was satisfied and scooped up a handful of gold coins from the bottom of the pool and stuffed them into Butler Hu's arms.
Butler Hu was immediately overjoyed when he saw the gold coins. He didn't care that the gold coins still carried the smell of countless human corpses, and even mixed with some human bones that had not yet completely decayed into mud. He just stuffed all the gold coins into his pocket.
"Don't worry, Captain! I will bring Ning Suisui's head back to you right away!" Butler Hu smiled happily.
Captain Octopus seemed to chuckle disdainfully: "Go, my good butler."
