Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 136 - 133: So eager?

The place Yang Mingzhong mentioned earlier, at the edge of this map, the location that's been blocked off?

Seeing the seats around filled with people, Wen Nan stood up and led Yu Shujun back into the small storage room next to the pantry.

Even though it was the second time, Yu Shujun still wasn't used to squeezing into this cramped corner, lips tight, and said coldly:

"If you don't want our conversation to be overheard by NPCs, I can find a way to lure them all away, master."

Wen Nan waved a hand, "No need for that trouble, this place is just fine. Let's talk about the situation at the scene."

It was last night Wen Nan had told Yu Shujun to rush to the scene. Meanwhile, Wen Nan was with Qiqi all night in bed and hadn't had the chance to ask about Yu Shujun's investigation. Unexpectedly, it was only now that they returned.

Considering Yu Shujun's current player level, it shouldn't have taken all night to reach the scene a few kilometers away.

Thinking back to what Yang Mingzhong said before, about that place guarded by heavily armed high-level NPCs...

"Did something happen along the way?"

As Wen Nan spoke, they noticed a thin, deep cut on Yu Shujun's cheekbone and froze, "You... got injured? What happened?"

Yu Shujun raised a hand and gently wiped away the dried blood on their cheek with a fingertip, as if only now realizing the injury, brow slightly furrowed, paused for a moment, then said flatly, "It's nothing, the other side got hurt worse."

As they said these words, Yu Shujun remained serious, as usual, face stern.

But Wen Nan listened and then laughed, shaking their head with a bit of helplessness.

Like a schoolyard fight, as long as the other side is hurt more, I win without losing?

Seeing Wen Nan's laughter, Yu Shujun assumed they were questioning the truth of their words and thus added seriously, "She broke her right arm."

Wen Nan: ...

Inwardly, Wen Nan had a new understanding of the word "some."

After a moment of silent complaint, they quickly returned to the main topic, "Who was it? An NPC? Guarding the blockade?"

Yu Shujun shook their head, "The other side was disguised, and she managed to escape, so it's hard to determine for now, but definitely not an NPC," they emphasized, "There is no NPC in this map that can hurt me."

"A player?"

If not an offline player in limbo, then it could only be someone like Yu Shujun, using a secondary account to infiltrate this map ahead of time.

Yu Shujun still shook their head, "I'm not sure."

"To use an account to enter a low-level map not belonging to oneself, this type of tool requires a player with Gold rank skill level, right?"

Yu Shujun nodded, "I've fought her, the opponent, besides having special skills and being adept at disguise and escape, isn't particularly strong, nowhere near Gold rank."

Wen Nan tried to speculate, "Could it be someone from a major guild, using tools from their shared equipment storage to enter this map against the rules?"

Yu Shujun shook their head, "The shared equipment storage of the six major guilds mostly contains reusable equipment, and the level isn't high. The equipment card used for these secondary accounts is a one-time use, rare high-level gear, and wouldn't appear in an equipment storage."

Wen Nan frowned, thinking for a while, then asked, "So who do you think they might be?"

Having fought them, Yu Shujun had a vague guess but said nothing, only replied:

"Regardless of who they are, they come with no good intentions. She may not be able to defeat me, but to take out a low-level player like you is easy."

"Low-level player" Wen Nan smiled twice, not replying.

This brother always manages to naturally look down on his player level.

Yu Shujun couldn't understand Wen Nan's chuckle, so they continued in their emotionless tone to finish, "For your safety, until we leave this map, I need to stay by your side and won't accept any solo missions."

After speaking, they paused for a moment and added dryly, "Master."

"Alright."

Just went around this big circle for this?

Was it that hard to directly say you're concerned about his safety?

Wen Nan smiled helplessly.

Putting aside this unexpected guest in the map for now, Wen Nan returned to the original topic, "How is the scene?"

Yu Shujun didn't speak, silently sending the video they recorded from the system to Wen Nan's account.

Wen Nan opened it, immediately seeing an overturned car, charred black.

An accident scene?

Yu Shujun's recording was comprehensive, every detail included, but the scene appeared overly old, surrounded by dirt and weeds, barely showing any traces of the incident.

Such an old car accident, what does it have to do with Yang Mingzhong? And why would he choose to restart his account because of this?

Deep in thought, Wen Nan heard Yu Shujun's voice beside them:

"From the scene, this accident occurred at least three years ago. Finding clues now is nearly impossible."

Yu Shujun said casually, but Wen Nan was reminded by this and suddenly realized an important term: "Three years ago..."

While pondering, a system notification voice suddenly sounded in their mind, a few role chat messages—

[Junior Sister: Senior Brother, we found your person!]

[Junior Sister: [Image]]

[Junior Sister: The mailroom at the corner of the fifth floor administration department, come claim them~~]

[Junior Sister: Don't forget what you promised me~]

[Junior Sister: I found the person, time to keep your promise~]

[Junior Sister: Tonight, my place, waiting for you~]

[Junior Sister: (ง •̀ᴗ-)✧]

Wen Nan looked at that line of messages, incredulous.

...this fast?!

Speedruns are in vogue lately?

In the image sent by Junior Sister, there was only a tired-looking man with long hair and a scruffy beard, sitting properly in the crowded room filled with packages, sorting them absent-mindedly.

Just from a photo, it couldn't be confirmed if this was the player Wen Nan was searching for.

He closed the system and headed to the fifth-floor mailroom at his fastest speed.

On the way, Wen Nan opened the "Wenna Guild Membership Contract" from the system, adjusting it to a signable state.

Five minutes later, he arrived at the mailroom's entrance, and before stepping inside, he immediately heard a system notification sound—

9527: [Ding!]

9527: [The Wenna Guild Membership Contract you shared has been successfully signed!]

Wen Nan's pace halted.

On the way here, he was still considering how to start the invitation to join when he met them, and they already signed just like that?

So eager?
