Chapter 199 Delicate and Soft Body, Easily Pushed Down
The other person paused for a moment, then looked at Ji Xingyi and Jiang Lin. Wang Liang had also returned to the age of 18, but his facial features were not much different from the later Wang Liang. At this time, he was already quite tall and strong, with standard Northeastern ancestry.
He didn't recognize Ji Xingyi, but fortunately he recognized Jiang Lin next to Ji Xingyi and thought it was Jiang Lin who called his name.
After the crowd dispersed, Wang Liang walked towards Jiang Lin: "You really are still alive!"
Wang Liang had already felt that Jiang Lin was quite strong, so he wasn't too surprised to see Jiang Lin in the Yellow Springs instance.
Jiang Lin, as always, wore a fake smile: "Just you alone?"
"No, there are three of us. Zhao Ruoxi is on the ship too; she went to the fifth floor." Wang Liang still didn't recognize Ji Xingyi, assuming the 18-year-old was Jiang Lin's new friend: "Your new teammate?"
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Yes, my new boyfriend."
Ji Xingyi was speechless, so he simply reintroduced himself.
Wang Liang's eyes nearly popped out of his head, because the 18-year-old Ji Xingyi and the 21-year-old had completely different temperaments. One was so beautiful that it was hard to tell if she was male or female, while the other was ruggedly handsome. Even though their eyebrows and eyes were similar, he never thought they were the same person.
"You ate spinach?" Wang Liang was still a little incredulous, and led the two to their room to explain in detail.
After Zhao Ruoxi and her teammate Ji Ran rushed back after receiving a call from Wang Liang, Zhao Ruoxi didn't recognize Ji Xingyi. Zhao Ruoxi even winked at Jiang Lin: "Haven't seen you for two months, have you changed your taste?"
Jiang Lin nodded seriously and put his arm around Ji Xingyi's slender waist: "Not bad, right?"
Zhao Ruoxi nodded and clicked her tongue: "No wonder I can't find a boyfriend, haven't you guys snatched up all the good-looking ones?"
Jiang Lin was in a great mood, but then Zhao Ruoxi continued, "So, are Ji Xingyi and Chen Jiangqiao together?"
Jiang Lin asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
"You don't know, during the Witch instance, Chen Jiangqiao even climbed over the balcony into his room. I don't know what he did, but Chen Jiangqiao got beaten up like a pig's head." Zhao Ruoxi's gossipy eyes shone like laser beams.
Ji Xingyi glanced nervously at Jiang Lin: Damn.
Wang Liang quickly coughed.
Zhao Ruoxi completely ignored Wang Liang's reminder and continued gossiping with Jiang Lin: "How did you and Ji Xingyi break up? You didn't let Chen Jiangqiao steal your boyfriend, did you?"
Jiang Lin was in a bad mood, but she still maintained a fake smile.
"Speaking of which, I thought you were a zero, but I didn't expect you to be a 1!"
Zhao Ruoxi's mouth never stopped, like she was spitting out marbles. Her eyes kept glancing at 18-year-old Ji Xingyi. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and whispered to Jiang Lin, "Where did you find your partners? How come they're all so amazing? This girl looks so delicate and easy to seduce!"
Ji Xingyi thought she had misheard; had the woman just used the word "sister"?
Wang Liang: "Cough cough cough!"
Zhao Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Wang Liang, who was frantically reminding her, "Don't cough at me, what if you infect me!"
Jiang Lin's mood improved again, and she secretly touched Ji Xingyi's waist again.
One thing is true: someone who is 18 years old is indeed delicate and easily pushed over.
Zhao Ruoxi wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Ji Xingyi's outstretched hand. Zhao Ruoxi quickly shook it back, even switching to a sweet voice: "My name is Zhao Ruoxi. Little brother, you're so handsome, you can call me Sister Xixi!"
Ji Xingyi gritted his teeth and smiled in response: "My surname is Ji!"
"Also surnamed Ji?" Zhao Ruoxi then noticed that the boy in front of her had some resemblance to Ji Xingyi in terms of eyebrows and eyes. She looked at Jiang Lin with slight shock: "You wouldn't... be brothers?" Wow!
Ji Xingyi couldn't even maintain a fake smile this time: "Sorry, we're not brothers, and I share the same name as him!"
"..." Zhao Ruoxi paused for 3 seconds before letting out a shriek like a groundhog: "Are you eating pig feed?!"
Ji Xing's face darkened considerably: "I don't eat spinach, nor do I eat pig feed."
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic." Jiang Lin knew that if they continued playing around, Ji Xingyi would get angry, so he steered the conversation back on track: "There are 24 players in this dungeon. Do you know any of the other players?"
Wang Liang and Zhao Ruoxi shook their heads, but Ji Ran, another teammate who had been silent, spoke up.
"I think I saw Jiang Yu."
Ji Ran is 1.75 meters tall, a tall and thin boy with black-rimmed glasses. He has soft facial features, a calm gaze, and a scholarly air about him.
"Jiang Shen!" Zhao Ruoxi screamed again, like a groundhog: "Really?"
"Who is it?" Ji Xingyi asked curiously.
Jiang Lin stopped touching him and, out of jealousy, pinched Ji Xingyi's waist.
Ji Xingyi quickly grabbed Jiang Lin's hand; he was being touched and pinched so much that he couldn't take it anymore.
Zhao Ruoxi: "You guys don't know? He's very famous among the players on Dead Soul Island, around the same time as us."
Ji Xing shook his head. He and Jiang Lin had only been to Dead Soul Island a few times.
“He’s a pretty good player,” Wang Liang and Jiang Yulang, who had participated in the dungeon together, looked at Jiang Lin with admiration: “Just as good as you guys!”
Jiang Lin's eyes gleamed with amusement: "Even the Jiang God you all speak of is participating in the Yellow Springs instance. It seems this instance is quite dangerous. Aren't you going to seek cooperation with Jiang Yu?"
Zhao Ruoxi shook her head: "We're the Salted Fish Squad, our motto is to survive! If we can survive, we will; if we can't, then we'll see!"
Unlike the other teams, these three would never take a risk unless they were on the verge of death. Points didn't matter; survival was the priority. In the Witch's dungeon, Zhao Ruoxi and Wang Liang implemented this strategy flawlessly!
As a skilled player, Jiang Yu's gameplay inevitably involves an element of adventure, making him completely different from the other three.
If Zhao Ruoxi and her two companions were to cooperate with Jiang Yu, they would inevitably be following his lead. However, none of them wanted to take risks with Jiang Yu, so naturally they wouldn't seek him out.
“We could collaborate,” Zhao Ruoxi winked at Jiang Lin. “Let’s work together?”
Jiang Lin glanced at Ji Xingyi and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's hang out together!"
After the five finalized their cooperation, Wang Liang started talking about the strange things that happened in the restaurant on the 10th floor.
Zhao Ruoxi and Ji Ran shook their heads; they hadn't encountered anything like that in the restaurant on the 5th floor.
Ji Xingyi thought back carefully. He had arrived at the restaurant earlier than Wang Liang and Jiang Lin and had some impression of the three people who had the accident.
Remembering the note on the menu, Ji Xingyi suggested, "The dining time on the 10th floor is 10:30. We had just sat down when they started eating. Could it be a timing issue?"
In the death instance, most of the time reminders have hidden rules. Ji Xingyi suspected that the three people hadn't followed the restaurant's dining rules, which led to the incident.
Jiang Lin took out his phone and opened the app. The number of passengers in the upper right corner had changed. It went from a full 480 to 477.
There are exactly 3 missing!
