49: Two visits to the thatched cottage
“Tonight should be the last chance.”
“By 9 AM tomorrow, after the freshman assembly, the spots will be finalized and submitted.”
“Even if you offer a million to withdraw then, the school won't give you the spot.”
Liu Shihhan reminded him.
Although she knew Xiao Yun was very capable, she always felt uneasy.
After all, as far as she knew, Xiao Yun had already made too many enemies in the forbidden zone.
At this moment, Li Wenzhe wasn't the only one who wanted to target him.
It was just that many people didn't have the means or the guts.
“Don't worry, no rush.”
Xiao Yun smiled faintly.
Once he received his losing streak rewards, it would be time to make his move.
Then, he would just carry a big red envelope, go to the Zero Dam to scrape the ground, and use Gunfire Negotiation to earn gold. Each round would take him twenty minutes, which would be at least seven or eight hundred thousand to over a million.
Getting this direct admission spot to Qingbei was actually the easiest thing right now.
“Then, can you team up with me now?”
Just then, Liu Shihhan invited him again.
...“Miss Liu, why do you want to team up with me so much?”
Xiao Yun was a little helpless. Why was Liu Shihhan so fixated on him?
What good qualities did he have? Could he not change them?
And looking at her state, she was going for a 'three visits to the thatched cottage' approach!
However, Xiao Yun suddenly thought of something and shivered violently.
“Miss Liu, you're not trying to help Li Wenzhe get me, teaming up with me to get me killed, are you?!”
“What nonsense are you talking about! What kind of person do you take me for?”
Liu Shihhan immediately puffed out her cheeks, put her hands on her hips, and pouted high.
“If you don't want to team up with me, then fine, I won't look for you again!”
“Really? Such a good thing exists!”
Xiao Yun laughed heartily, while Liu Shihhan panicked.
“Why do you seem so happy about it? No way, then I'll cling to you every day from now on!”
“Hey... you're being a bit unreasonable!”
Xiao Yun sighed helplessly.
This Miss Liu was too willful, insisting on clinging to him to play.
“Alright, though I don't know why you're so persistent.”
It would still take a while for the yacht he chartered to refuel. Anyway, he couldn't run back and forth during this time.
Moreover, he wasn't relying on picking up green and blue trash to make money anymore.
Taking Liu Shihhan for a round wasn't a big deal either.
However, Xiao Yun hadn't forgotten his plan.
He still needed to continue his losing streak. Only by getting the top reward for a 12-game losing streak could he make big money.
When the time came, he would find an excuse to die, and then let her evacuate on her own.
“Okay, it's a deal then!”
Liu Shihhan couldn't hide her happiness, a constant smile on her face.
“But I'll say this beforehand, anything big red or big gold found goes to me.”
“You've found big red and big gold before! You're indeed more formidable than I thought!”
“Hey, did you even hear what I said...?”
“Don't worry, I just simply want to team up with you for a round, and everything we find will be yours. Oh, and I can buy you equipment.”
“No need for equipment.”
Faced with Liu Shihhan's reply, Xiao Yun was immediately confused.
Her actions, not seeking fame or profit, made Xiao Yun even more unclear about her purpose.
Originally, Xiao Yun thought she wanted him to carry her to a victory, which was why she wanted to team up with him.
Now it seemed that wasn't the case.
This made Xiao Yun even more puzzled. What exactly did she want to do?
......
“Sir, Madam, we've arrived.”
The medium-sized cruise ship docked next to the Ocean Spectrum, and the staff on the other side set up a ladder.
Liu Shihhan climbed up first, followed by Xiao Yun. Climbing the ladder inevitably required looking up, but Xiao Yun forgot she was wearing a skirt today.
A gentle breeze blew, revealing the safety shorts underneath.
“What a pity!”
“Hey, what are you regretting? Hurry up and come up.”
After climbing onto the massive cruise ship, Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan arrived at the entrance to the forbidden zone.
The entrance to the forbidden zone here was on the deck. It should have been crowded in the afternoon, but at this time, there were only a few people.
The Longbow Creek Valley map, due to its large size and scattered resource points, was not as popular as the Dam No. 0 to begin with.
Coupled with Li Wenzhe's actions, the few people present were essentially having the place to themselves.
Even with the teams currently in the map, they probably couldn't even make up 18 people.
“Hey, are you a two-person team?”
As soon as Xiao Yun and Liu Shihhan arrived at the entrance of the forbidden zone, an older uncle quickly scurried over.
“Seeing that you haven't brought any equipment, how about I give you some? Of course, it would be great if this beautiful lady could have dinner with me tonight.”
“Get lost.”
Liu Shihhan said coldly.
“Alrighty.”
The uncle quickly left.
Xiao Yun hadn't expected Liu Shihhan to have such a domineering side and felt a bit impressed by her.
“Alright, let's enter the forbidden zone.”
“Wait, wait, wait, are you sure we're going in without anything?”
Seeing Xiao Yun about to enter the map naked, Liu Shihhan immediately panicked.
Not even bringing a gun or equipment, wouldn't they be completely defenseless if they encountered any enemies?
“No need. Why bring equipment when you're just knife-running?”
“Alright, I trust you.”
Liu Shihhan thought about it again. It seemed Xiao Yun had always entered maps without equipment before, so she nodded silently.
“Mm, just don't drag me down when the time comes.”
“Hey! Can you be a little nicer to me?”
“...”
Xiao Yun sighed, too lazy to bother with her.
He was just speaking the truth, how was his attitude bad?
However, the uncle who had just been scolded away, standing to the side and witnessing this scene, clenched his fists.
“Damn it! This kid, he doesn't cherish such a top-notch beauty by his side!”
“If it were me, I would definitely treat her a thousand, even ten thousand times better!”
......
“You have entered Longbow Creek Valley!”
“Current location: Longbow Creek Valley - Southeast of Hafk radar station.”
“Current drop rate: Normal”
“Current game end time: 21 minutes 19 seconds”
“Hint: Please complete evacuation before time runs out!”
Entering Longbow Creek Valley.
Due to the significant time delay earlier, over six minutes had already passed when they entered.
In this round, the two of them were also fortunate enough to arrive at the Hafk radar station.
This was the most abundant resource spawn point in Longbow Creek Valley. All fixed resource points combined were even more than Queen Hotel.
“Xiao Yun, where should we search this round? I'll listen to you.”
“We definitely search the radar station, that's a no-brainer.”
“But isn't this place very dangerous? The Hafuk Soldiers inside are all elite troops!”
Liu Shihhan immediately worried.
“They're not like those guerrilla troops from Asala. They're all professionally trained, and their equipment is mostly better than Asala's. They're completely operator-killers!”
“Is it that terrifying?”
Listening to Liu Shihhan's description, Xiao Yun was immediately a little dumbfounded.
Although the super-hero Machine Bro was indeed terrifying, it shouldn't be to the point of being so scared, right?
But thinking about it again, it made sense.
Although Liu Shihhan was a formidable school beauty at school, she was just an ordinary person in the forbidden zone.
Moreover, she was a girl, at a disadvantage in terms of strength and stamina.
She could have lived a life of ease and comfort forever, so choosing to challenge the forbidden zone was already a courageous act.
Now, Xiao Yun's only concern was whether she could keep up with his pace.
It would be laughable if she died of exhaustion halfway through running the map.
“I heard something! There seems to be a sound!”
Just then.
The voice of a Hafk Soldier came from the main entrance.
Hearing this voice, Xiao Yun immediately felt that this round was secure!
“This round is secure.”
“Secure? Where is it secure?”
