What would happen if you didn’t listen to the NPCs?
Lin Sanjiu felt that now might not be the best time to find out the answer to that question.
She slowly turned around, making way for the ugly old man to walk past her. She helplessly watched him shamble step by step. As he emerged into the light of the payment counter, it seemed like even the posthumans around, who were fighting, paused for a moment. The player who was trading earlier turned his head, seemingly sizing up the ugly old man.
The man wore a large fur robe with a wide-brimmed hat, and there was even a veil hanging from under the hat, covering his entire body. Not an inch of skin or a single strand of hair was visible. It was merely a guess to say that he was “inspecting” Wushi Ming since his eyes were completely hidden.
Wushi Ming turned his head and said something to the person shrouded in the robe. From a distance, only some muffled sounds were audible, making it impossible to discern any meaningful words. The robed figure nodded and then seemingly vanished into the darkness like a wisp of Yin spirit.
The ugly old man’s back was facing Lin Sanjiu’s group, while he was facing the payment counter directly. Under his sparse grey hair, his head had folded in several layers of skin, perfectly merging his head and neck. Staring at this grotesque figure wasn’t part of Lin Sanjiu’s plan. However, when the short figure finally approached the payment counter, Lin Sanjiu made a sudden move.
In response to Ya Jiang’s low exclamation of surprise, she crouched down and leaped high into the air. Stretching her arm upward, her metal-clad palm pressed against the top of the wall with a loud “slap.” Without her left hand and anything to leverage, Lin Sanjiu coiled her body in mid-air and used the strength of her one arm to pull herself up.
“What are you trying to do?” Ya Jiang asked in a hushed voice, watching her with a somewhat envious gaze. Not being able to do anything without a waist was indeed quite frustrating.
“The NPC said not to obstruct him from going to the payment counter,” Lin Sanjiu replied in a low voice while crouching on top of the wall, facing down towards the two below. “He’s already standing at the payment counter now. If I go there too, it wouldn’t be considered obstruction, right?”
Gardenia’s eyes flickered for a moment, like a glint of diamond refracted by ripples. “Other nearby players might attack you.”
Lin Sanjiu looked at her and asked, “Do you often approach new players to talk to them?”
Gardenia’s gracefully shaped chin froze for a moment, and her expression quickly darkened. “Of course not. This is only my second attempt. As for the first time… there’s no need for you to ask. It’s none of your business anyway.”
“Well, then,” Lin Sanjiu smiled at the two, “If someone attacks me, could you watch out for me?”
With those words, before Gardenia could react, Lin Sanjiu crouched and leaped from the top of the wall. Luckily, the wall was high and thick, offering a width of over twenty centimeters for her to land on. In the dim area without any light above the wall lamps and below the patient room, Lin Sanjiu moved swiftly and lightly. As she approached the intersection, instead of jumping straight into the road, she turned along the wall, leaping to the opposite wall.
To save time, her focus was now razor-sharp, with her eyes fixed only on the next foothold, and then the one after that. Although she was jumping and running between walls, her speed was so fast that even the occasional attacks from some posthumans couldn’t catch up to her. Finally, when she had completely circled around to the back of the payment counter and could only see a short wall with an employee-only door embedded in it behind the shop, she came to a stop.
Almost all the posthumans had gathered in the other directions where they could observe the situation. Compared to that, the alley behind the payment counter was eerily quiet, seemingly deserted. Lin Sanjiu silently slid down the wall, landing gently on the ground, and assessed the distance between herself and the back of the payment counter.
No problem. Even with her current stamina, as long as she performed a sprint, stepped on the bucket beside the employee door, and leaped up, she could easily reach the flat roof of the payment counter. It was half the height of the previous wall, making it much easier.
The entire process would take about five seconds.
Like an athlete on the starting line of a track and field race, she crouched down, then suddenly burst forward—her estimation was accurate. Right after precisely five seconds, Lin Sanjiu lightly landed on the roof of the payment counter with a soft thud.
“You must have it. I’m very clear about that. Otherwise, how could you have detained people who owe room fees…” Wushi Ming’s voice, always as if he had phlegm stuck in his throat, raised slightly, interrupting the unfinished sentence. “What was that sound? It seems like someone is on the roo—”
Before he could finish the word “roof,” Lin Sanjiu had already launched her attack. Her powerful Special Item had mostly been confiscated by the hospital, but just now, she randomly drew the [Super Duper Extremely Unrivalled Otherworldly Powerful Weapon]. She almost forgot when she obtained it; she only remembered that it was purchased at a very low price, so she never really expected it to be a strong weapon. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered to open this cloth package.
The cloth package was about the size of both her fists combined. Apart from the description stating that it contained a powerful weapon suitable for both long-range and close-combat, it looked quite baffling. What kind of weapon, being both near and far, could be rolled into two fist-sized bundles that felt soft when touched? A bag of oranges would be more impressive than this.
The strip of cloth quickly unraveled in the dim air, and though Wushi Ming hadn’t reacted yet, Lin Sanjiu already regretted her decision at that moment. She knew for certain she was deceived, and even if she bought this item for just a bowl of Demae Iccho beef instant noodles, she was still terribly fooled. The cloth package was clearly empty—just a long piece of linen folded back and forth, rolled into two fist-sized bundles, and then wrapped on the outside to make it feel soft!
In her mind, she scolded herself lowly, tossing the cloth strip away and searching her card inventory for a new item to serve as a weapon. The opportunity to ambush Wushi Ming was too precious, and she couldn’t let this ridiculous [Super Duper Extremely Unrivalled Otherworldly Powerful Weapon] ruin it.
“Do you want me to attack this guy?”
Lin Sanjiu remained crouched on the roof, and at the sound of the voice, she abruptly lifted her head, the force so strong that she even heard her neck crack. She couldn’t believe it.
“I’m asking you, is this the guy? Hey! Where is he?”
It couldn’t be…
Lin Sanjiu slowly peeked her head out from the edge of the roof, her gaze falling on the person in front of the counter. The half-yellow, half-white light in the payment counter illuminated half of Hei Zeji’s body, rendering his familiar and impatient expression utterly clear and recognizable.
