When the young man covered his heart, Ling Xiao felt a moment of tension.
This time, he didn’t know if it was his heart that was beating wildly in the young man’s chest.
Ling Xiao put down his chopsticks, turned to glance at the vast river surface, then turned back after a breath and placed a plate of barbecue in front of Ning Su. “Eat up and then go home and have a good sleep.”
Ning Su responded, “Oh.”
Ning Su ate two hundred skewers of barbecue and drank five bottles of orange soda.
Finally, he went home in a great mood to sleep.
Ning Changfeng was waiting for him at the door. “Hurry up, come choose some props.”
He took out all the props and weapons he had obtained in the instances over the years for Ning Su to pick from, “The more, the better.”
Ning Su said, “…That won’t be necessary.”
He always felt that having one weapon that suited him was enough.
“You must. Shi Tianzhu gave you one, so you should at least take one from me, right?”
Ning Su: “...”
In the end, he took a throwing knife from Ning Changfeng, and only then did Ning Changfeng let him go to sleep.
There was only one day between the semifinals and the finals of the guild competition.
Ning Su slept for over ten hours, and when he woke up, it was almost time for the dungeon preview.
As the final and grandest event of the season, the guild competition finals were closely watched by all the players in the base.
The dungeon preview would be released an hour in advance.
This hour was extremely important, as each guild would make final adjustments and confirm the players based on the preview.
Ning Su didn’t waste any time. After getting up and washing, he took the two kids straight to the game hall.
When they arrived, the game hall was packed, and they couldn’t get in.
Ning Su thought for a moment and went directly to the Yinhua Guild.
The Yinhua Guild would definitely see the dungeon preview first.
As Ning Su walked through the Yinhua Guild’s gates, he suddenly heard loud exclamations and discussions from the game hall. He looked back and saw several people running towards the Yinhua Guild.
Among them was Pang Yang.
“Ning Su, you’re here! Quickly, go tell the guild members that the dungeon preview is out!”
Before Ning Su could speak, the chief steward came running. “Ning Su, quickly, to Conference Room 3 for a meeting!”
Pang Yang, who had made his way to the hallway, said, “Ah, I’m also going to Conference Room 3 to transmit the video. Isn’t that where the reserve players for the guild competition are meeting? What are you going there for?”
Ning Su: “I’m going to the meeting.”
Pang Yang: “Why?”
Ning Su: “To attend the meeting.”
Pang Yang: “...”
The head manager shouted at Pang Yang, “What are you standing around for? Start the projector!”
Pang Yang: “... Oh, oh, oh!”
Ning Su found a place to sit. The dungeon preview was already being projected on the screen.
He glanced up and saw the dungeon name first.
<Zombie>.
Ning Su was momentarily stunned. The entire conference room was buzzing with discussion, the voices fluctuating.
It wasn’t until Shi Tianzhu called his name that he snapped back to reality.
Everyone in the conference room was looking at him.
Shi Tianzhu said warmly, “Please take a seat in the front row. You are the second participant in the finals of the 13th season guild competition.”
When Ning Su sat in the front row, the gazes directed at him intensified, mostly filled with surprise and shock.
Especially Pang Yang.
He remembered when he had first entered the <Ghost Embodiment> dungeon, complaining to a certain player without a guild about not even qualifying for the guild’s internal preliminary competition.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, this player would become one of their guild’s final participants?
Such a miraculous turn of events.
“Good luck!” Pang Yang shouted at him.
Cheers gradually filled the conference room.
Ning Su smiled at everyone, quickly sat down, and focused. This hour was extremely precious, and he didn’t want to delay Shi Tianzhu from continuing the selection.
Shi Tianzhu didn’t look at the information and directly said, “Yin Qingmo, third participant in the finals of the thirteenth season guild competition.”
A familiar person sat next to Ning Su, the one who had shown him the Gu insect and performed outstandingly as a healer in the individual competition.
Capable of both healing and poisoning, he could provide support and attack.
The preview of the instance repeatedly played on the light screen, showing one mutilated person after another crying in agony.
For a zombie instance, such a healer was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, he was likely chosen specifically to counter the Gu Witch, using medicine to combat Gu.
Therefore, everyone thought it was very reasonable to select him.
The third player Shi Tianzhu chose was a female player. Ning Su had seen Yinhua’s members’ information; her skills were somewhat similar to Chen Tian’s, immune to both water and fire, as well as a hundred poisons.
After watching the instance preview, Shi Tianzhu did not hesitate and quickly selected nine players.
Except for Ning Su, who was somewhat unexpected, everyone else was considered very suitable.
Finally, Shi Tianzhu asked, “Does anyone have any objections or want to volunteer?”
Ning Su thought someone would question why he was selected, but to his surprise, no one had any objections. Their trust in Shi Tianzhu exceeded Ning Su’s expectations.
Shi Tianzhu said, “Then that’s settled. Let’s start discussing the instance and selecting the props.”
Ning Su expected the discussion about the instance, but he hadn’t anticipated prop selection.
How would they choose?
While Ning Su was pondering, an older player handed him a protective suit. “Ning Su, this is my item. I think you might need it in this instance.”
Ning Su was taken aback.
The person smiled and said, “Take it. This is how we do things in Yinhua. Just return it to me after the competition.”
Ning Su indeed saw many players in the meeting room who were not selected handing their weapons and items to the participating players without any reluctance or concern about not getting them back.
He pressed his lips together and said, “Thank you.”
The person laughed heartily, “I think you’ll look very good in it.”
Ning Su looked at the pink outfit in his hand: “...”
Ning Su received several sponsored items. Whether he needed them or not, he accepted them all.
Weighted heavily, it was packed in his crystal ball.
After delivering the props, the other players left, leaving only ten contestants in the meeting room.
Everyone’s expressions were slightly solemn.
It was evident to all that this dungeon was the specialty of the Yongming Guild.
Shi Tianzhu said, “In a zombie instance, the factions are very clear. There should be guilds in the zombie faction and guilds in the human faction, and within the human and zombie factions, there may be different sub-factions.”
“It’s possible that initially, the human and zombie factions will fight against each other, and then there will be intra-faction guild battles. Regardless of which faction we’re assigned to, our first priority is to cooperate with players from the same faction.”
The doctor asked, “What if the Yongming Guild attacks us right away without any consideration?”
Shi Tianzhu replied, “Then we’ll have to fight.”
“If they attack us immediately, I’ll handle the Black-clothed Azan and the Human Pupa Master.” She looked at Ning Su and then at the doctor, “Yin Qingmo will deal with the Gu Witch, and Ning Su will handle the Vampire.”
“These four are the players that their guild will definitely send. As for the others, we’ll adapt accordingly.”
The doctor asked, “You’re going to take on two by yourself? The Black-clothed Azan, he...”
Shi Tianzhu said, “I have a way.”
She continued, “If, when we enter the dungeon, we are separated into different locations, use the No. 8 Incense to rendezvous.”
