“No, I must have been overthinking it. How could the president possibly be paying attention to me?” Pang Yang recovered from his embarrassed state.
He whispered to Ning Su: “The president must be observing the human pupa master, wanting to see if she has found any new human pupa in the instance.”
“I’m going to tell our president about this instance, about how we defeated the human pupa master. Hehe, she’ll definitely be happy.”
Ning Su: “...”
His impression of the other diminished a bit.
Ning Su turned around to look at Ling Xiao, and Pang Yang had already run up to Shi Tianzhu.
“President, I came out of a Level 4 instance and got a B grade!”
Seeing Shi Tianzhu looking back, he pointed to Ning Su and said, “President, that’s my friend Ning Su that I met in the instance world. He saved my life, and he’s also your fan!”
Shi Tianzhu: “...”
Ning Changfeng: “?”
Ning Changfeng sarcastically said, “She’s not a celebrity, what kind of fan are you talking about?”
“Of course, she’s not a celebrity. How could those celebrities compare to the president?” Pang Yang said discontentedly. “Many of those so-called celebrities aren’t even qualified to massage our president’s legs.”
How many times had the Yinhua Guild put a bounty on Ning Changfeng’s head? Most of the Yinhua Guild members’ attitudes towards Ning Changfeng followed the president’s.
Ning Changfeng continued to be neither yin nor yang. “Yeah, there are quite a few people like this in your Yinhua Guild. I remember last time the one who massaged President Shi was a male celebrity, looked quite effeminate.”
Ning Su: “…”
As soon as Ning Su arrived, he heard this strange statement and really wanted to ask Ning Changfeng what he meant.
Even Shi Tianzhu glanced at Ning Changfeng.
Ning Changfeng didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with what he said. He was about to speak to Ning Su when he noticed Ling Xiao coming out from behind, and couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Shi Tianzhu was similarly surprised.
Ning Changfeng said to Ling Xiao, “You’re also in this instance?”
He glanced at the exit’s number. “Level four instance? Are you just lying down and winning inside?”
Ning Su thought to himself that Ling Xiao essentially just lay down and cleared the instance.
Ling Xiao nodded, glanced at the three of them, and said, “You guys talk.”
Ning Changfeng watched his back and sighed, “Ah! If you have nowhere to stay, just come find me!”
Ning Su remained silent.
He thought of when Xue Wei asked them to write self-introductions on paper, Ling Xiao wrote “game hall.”
Xue Wei mentioned that everyone in the base knew that the houses in the game hall were not for sale.
“President Shi is here, could it be that she’s waiting for me?” Xue Wei was the last to come out, smirking at Shi Tianzhu.
Shi Tianzhu looked at her. “Did a Level Four instance make you this miserable?”
Xue Wei no longer had any obvious injuries on her.
No matter how severe the injuries were inside the instance, as long as one could come out of the instance world alive, they could recover with points from the system.
But her clothes were still soaked in blood, almost every inch of them.
Pang Yang was right; this instance indeed countered Xue Wei, countered her killings, and even reminded her of the pain of losing her sister.
Xue Wei sneered, “I wonder if President Shi will be as embarrassed in the guild competition as she was last time.”
Shi Tianzhu said, “See you at the guild competition then.”
Xue Wei walked away with a cold face.
People around them all made way for her, keeping their distance.
It seemed like it wouldn’t be possible to analyze this instance uniformly for future game play.
After Xue Wei left, Shi Tianzhu and Ning Changfeng both spoke to Ning Su at the same time, “Let’s go...”
The two glanced at each other.
Ning Su looked at one, then the other, and said to Pang Yang, “Shouldn’t we make a map of the instance?”
Pang Yang’s eyes lit up, understanding Ning Su’s intention, wanting to spend more time with their idol. “Right, right, right, I’ll take you to Yinhua Guild to make a map. How about that?”
When Ning Changfeng left, it was very windy.
It sent shivers through someone’s heart.
Shi Tianzhu said to Ning Su, “Let’s go, I’ll take you guys to Yinhua for some delicious food.”
Ning Su immediately said, “Ah, great!”
Pang Yang paused for a moment, excitedly saying to Ning Su as they walked, “You’re really lucky. Because there’s the human pupa master in this instance, the guild president might personally listen to us debrief the instance.”
“That’s right, you’re too impolite. When the president invites you to dinner, you should be a bit more courteous.”
Ning Su replied, “I’ve always been like this.”
Pang Yang responded, “Well, that’s true.”
Shi Tianzhu glanced back at them.
Pang Yang immediately fell silent.
Three days had passed in the game base since they entered the instance. The individual competition hasn’t started yet, but it’s about to begin.
During the individual and guild competitions, players weren’t bound by the rule of having to enter an instance every seven days. Many players had already calculated the time and stopped entering instances.
There were a lot more players at the base than usual, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
The same was true for the guilds.
Ning Su encountered many people when he came to the Yinhua Guild this time.
They first met the guild’s old steward at the door.
“You’re here. The meal will be ready soon,” he said kindly to Ning Su.
Ning Su replied, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Gui Sheng said, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
Manman added, “Thank you, Grandpa.”
The old steward smiled even more brightly.
Pang Yang remarked, “Strange, why is the old steward so enthusiastic today, especially towards you?”
Ning Su asked, “Was he not enthusiastic before?”
Pang Yang replied, “It’s not that he wasn’t enthusiastic, he was just intimidating.”
Ning Su remained silent.
After walking a few steps, they bumped into several players.
Pang Yang pointed to the one in the front and whispered to Ning Su, “Did you see that? That’s Meng Jiang.”
Not long after entering the instance, Pang Yang was already lamenting about not making it into a team for the guild competition, not even securing one of the hundred spots in the qualifiers. He specifically used Meng Jiang as a typical example.
As he approached closer, with a growing smile on his face, Pang Yang muttered, “He made it to the qualifiers, but in the end, he didn’t join any team either. What’s there to boast about?”
Meng Jiang came over and patted Ning Su’s shoulder, “Ning Su, long time no see.”
Ning Su replied, “Indeed, it’s been a while.”
Pang Yang: “?”
Meng Jiang said to Shi Tianzhu, “President, you’ve brought Ning Su again to treat him to something delicious.”
Shi Tianzhu smiled. “It’s not that often. It seems to have become a habit, though. Every time he finishes an instance, I want him to have something nice to eat.”
Pang Yang: “??”
Meng Jiang smiled and said, “I’ve long noticed how much the president likes him. In the <Manman> instance, you’ve given him the Heaven-Piercing Silk and the Crystal Ball. The president and Ning Su seem to have a destiny. It looks like they’re long-lost siblings.”
Pang Yang: “???”
