It was a rare thing that Tang Ning received a blood-stained carnation from her mother.
Bai Wuliang Tangning: "I didn't get any curse or negative energy from this flower. Maybe it's just an ordinary flower."
No one believed the latter sentence.
Bai Wuliang added: "But it is more likely some kind of special tool."
"What did you do? Why should I give you this?" Jiang Mianmian was curious.
Just now, every player except Tang Ning who tried to leave was blocked by Zeng's mother. This blockage was milder than that by Zeng's father, but there was no easy way to break it. However, when Tang Ning appeared, Zeng's mother's attitude towards other players suddenly changed to that of discarding them as worn-out shoes. She didn't care about the lives of other players at all.
"I care about you." Lin Yun couldn't help but ask: "Is it the use of the card?"
Tang Ning couldn't help but nod when he heard Lin Yun's guess. He also tended to think that his mother's story was the one that was used.
As the other players looked on with curiosity, Tang Ning briefly recounted what he had done. When he mentioned that he had taken the initiative to help Zeng's mother, the players' eyes became subtle.
"You're still pretty brave even though you didn't come out." Jiang Mianmian sighed.
When he entered the Zeng family, he wasn't scared to the point of running away, but he wasn't brave enough to rush in like Tang Ning to gain the favor of the NPC.
After all, no one can guarantee that they won't flatter the wrong person. Even if the player knew Tang Ning's method, if he were to try it again, he wouldn't be able to take the initiative to give Zeng's mother a massage or wash her feet.
Tang Ning did not think much about it when he did those things, but now under the gaze of everyone, he realized how reckless he was.
He seemed like a mother figure without much resistance.
Whether it is Zeng Yishuang’s mother or his own mother.
Because he couldn't give his full attention to his mother, Tang Ning didn't even realize that he had transferred some of his mother's love to that NPC.
"I told her later that I loved her again." Tangning finished talking about her experience. The players had their own thoughts after listening.
"Tangning, you have successfully visited every family, right?" Lu Yuhua's tone was filled with envy.
The minimum requirement for passing this dungeon was to visit a guest player's home. Tang Ning was the first player to complete this requirement, which meant that he could leave the group and spend the next five days alone. Although he couldn't predict what risks would come in the next five days, he could definitely have an easier time than the other players who were having a hard time as guests.
Tang Ning nodded. He never dreamed that he would be the first player to visit such a family.
"Are you going to go with me this afternoon?" Bai Wuliang: "I might go to Zhou Kang's house again, and then pick up some clothes to prepare for going to Jiang Mianmian's house."
Tang Ning didn't know what to do. It would be better if he could not be a guest. The A-level dungeon was too dangerous and he didn't feel safe. But if he didn't go as a guest,
Tang Ning turned to Lin Yun, wanting to get some advice from her.
Lin Yun took Tang Ning to a corner away from other players and lowered her voice, "I just got some information. The higher the rating you get in the A-level dungeon, the more times you can help new players to lower the difficulty of the dungeon and play lower-level dungeons."
“If you only get the guaranteed rating in the A-level dungeon, you can only survive two low-level dungeons at most. The higher the mission rating you get, the more time the system allows you to breathe.” Lin Yun whispered this unspoken rule.
Tangning was stunned. He imagined, "What if I get an S-level rating in an A-level instance?"
"I haven't heard of anyone getting an S-level rating yet, but there is a rumor that a player got an A-level rating, which is enough to play ten low-level dungeons!"
Lin Yun's words were very tempting to Tang Ning. The difficulty of the A-level dungeon was too high, and he could not accept going to an A-level dungeon every five days.
"One more thing. There are two requirements for clearing this dungeon. One is to visit the homes of at least 10 players, and the other is to survive 70 days. There aren't too many abnormalities in my home right now, and I'm worried that in the next few days, the real crisis will become my own home." Lin Yun's tone became heavy.
Tang Ning's heart began to feel depressed. He had always been vaguely uneasy about his home.
"Normally, the further you go in the card world, the more dangerous it becomes. This gives me time to prepare myself. I have no idea what's going on. I just saw the flower in your hand." Lin Yun raised his eyes and looked at Tang Ning, who was still a little confused. He whispered, "I'm thinking of the porcelain doll in your hand again."
"The system doesn't give me missions that will lead to my death. There must be ways to crack the missions in the card world. You got the porcelain doll from the orphanage and the carnations from Zeng Yishuang's home. Let's not talk about the carnations for now. The porcelain doll can obviously protect you."
Lin Yun calmly said, "I was wondering, the system assigned me the task of being a guest, is it to let me obtain various tools in this way, and the tools are closely related to my future survival?"
Tang Ning stared. He had never thought of this.
"This is just my guess, but if it's true, I think it's good to be a guest more often." Lin Yun said his thoughts and waited for Tang Ning's decision.
"Lin Yun." Tangning looked at his teammate seriously. In fact, he had only known her for a little over a month, but he felt that she had changed a lot since the first time they met. "You are becoming more and more powerful now."
Lin Yun smiled and said, "You too, now you look like a veteran player."
Tang Ning's nose suddenly felt sore for some reason.
He thought about how he was crying in this dungeon yesterday, and today he completed a task in one go. It was really unexpected... Although the game is difficult, everything will definitely get better and better!
He has already had a good start in this copy, he must cheer up and not stop. No, now is not the time to relax.
Tangning encouraged himself and took a deep breath. Lin Yun: "I've decided! I want to be your guest this afternoon!"
After making the decision, the family prepared to take a break and get some rest before going to visit in the afternoon. Tangning took out his phone from his pocket and tried to contact Bai Yingxue to ask about Fang and the confinement room. However, Bai Yingxue hadn't replied yet. Instead, a message from Su Anyun popped up: "Will you be home for lunch?"
go home
Su Anyun and her mother are at home.
Tangning's thumbs touched each other unconsciously before typing, "Reply!"
Su Anyun immediately sent a message: "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Tang Ning sent the address to Su Anyun. He rejected Lin Yun's offer to send him back home and ran to the gate of the community and squatted there.
The summer sun is very bright, and the chirping of cicadas covering the ground is like a downpour. Zeng Yishuang's home is in the old city, where there are many tall trees. The dazzling sunlight passes through layers of leaves and is filtered into very comfortable spots of light that fall on every pedestrian.
Tang Ning rode his bicycle to Su Anyun through the lush summer. His tall and straight figure and handsome face made this ordinary scene as beautiful as a painting.
Tang Ning squatted under the tree, holding his face as Su Anyun came to pick him up.
The bicycle was parked in front of Tangning, with an umbrella and an ice cream just taken out of the refrigerator in the basket.
"Why is your forehead swollen?" Su Anyun frowned.
Tangning quickly covered her forehead with her hands, "I accidentally bumped into the wall while walking."
"Why are you like this? Can't you walk?" Su Anyun took out an ice cream from the basket and said, "Apply ice to yourself."
Tang Ning said "oh" and put the ice cream on his forehead. He sat on the back seat of the bicycle. The back seat was a little hot, so Tang Ning didn't dare to say anything.
Su Anyun held up the umbrella. He held the umbrella in one hand and the other on the handlebars of the bicycle. "Hold on tight."
Tangning immediately hugged Su Anyun's waist and rested her face on his back. She even said, "Brother, you ride with one hand."
Tang Ning's cycling skills are not very good. It is difficult for him to keep balance with one hand and a passenger on board.
"I can also let go of both hands." Su Anyun smiled.
"Then let's not do it. What if you fall?" Tangning whispered, "That's what mom is talking about."
He can now mention his mother as if nothing had happened.
"If you're worried about your aunt nagging you, be more careful when you walk next time." Su Anyun taught.
Unlike the nagging of elders, Su Anyun's tone of voice was gentle and soft. Tangning nodded obediently.
He watched the scenery on the roadside constantly change. Passing by a street with a water store and a cake shop, Tangning suddenly spoke up, "Brother, what do you think about me buying a cake and durian for Mom?"
Durian is my mother's favorite fruit, but it is too expensive and she is always reluctant to buy it herself.
"Auntie said you were wasting money." Su Anyun parked the car on the side of the road and turned to Tangning, "But she was very happy."
"Then I'll go buy some now! I can give it to mom as a midnight snack!" Tang Ning's eyes lit up. He had lived a life without lack of money for a while, and no matter how expensive the food was, it couldn't make him happy. But at this moment, he felt a long-lost sense of anticipation.
Su Anyun agreed.
"Brother, just stand here. I can buy it myself!" Tang Ning ran into the store excitedly. He first bought the flavor his mother liked, and then asked the system: What flavor does Su Anyun like
Awn.
Tang Ning also bought some mangoes and fresh mangoes. Due to her frail body, Tang Ning had a hard time carrying them. The next second, a pair of hands took over the shopping bag from Tang Ning. Su Anyun, who had promised to wait for Tang Ning, followed her.
"Why did you buy so much?" the boy asked.
"Not much, just enough for one person."
"You even bought me a cake. Is that so nice?"
"I used the money you gave me, which is equivalent to buying it yourself."
He returned home chatting and laughing. Tangning and Su Anyun put the water in the refrigerator together. It was not yet time to cook, so Su Anyun asked Tangning if she wanted to play a game together. Tangning was stunned for a moment and said yes. The two of them sat on the sofa and started playing a mobile game that Tangning really liked in real life.
Tang Ning had always been a sucker at gaming, but Su Anyun's skills were so strong that Tang Ning was amazed again and again. Time passed quickly and before she knew it, it was time for dinner. When Su Anyun got up to cook, Tang Ning still felt a little unsatisfied.
He ran to the kitchen to help Su Anyun. Su Anyun said, "It's too hot here. The smoke will choke you. Go to the living room and use the fan."
"I like it hot." Tangning insisted on going to the kitchen.
Su Anyun was so annoyed by Tang Ning that he made her squat next to the trash can to peel garlic. When he started cooking, every time he put food in the pan to stir-fry, Su Anyun asked Tang Ning to stay away from him because the kitchen was too small and the hot oil could easily splash onto Tang Ning.
Tang Ningran was choked by the fumes, which made him cry. He gave up with tears in his eyes and left the kitchen which was like a steamer.
Just as he was running away, the door of his house opened, and his mother, who had just returned home from get off work at noon, bent down to change her shoes and looked towards him.
"What are we eating today?" Mom asked casually.
Tang Ning couldn't think of anything else besides "braised pork" or anything else. His mind once again became a mess.
He found that no matter how many times he prepared himself, he would just give up when his mother came.
Mother Tang Ning smiled. She bent down again and picked up a watermelon on the ground. "This watermelon is not bought from the water store. It is grown by someone else and sold on the roadside. I tasted one of their watermelons. It is very sweet, but too heavy."
My mother likes to eat durian.
My brother likes to eat mangoes.
Tang Ning likes to eat any kind of delicious water, but when summer comes, Tang Ning's favorite water is watermelon, especially putting the watermelon in the refrigerator, chilling it and then eating it with a spoon.
Mom walked to the kitchen with a heavy watermelon in her arms. The watermelon was too big to fit in the refrigerator, so she had to cut it in advance. She muttered, "Oh, my waist!"
