Chapter 93: Alpha Wolf
Ji Ning had always been curious about what high-diving felt like, and this time she finally got to experience it in an instance.
She was already back in the Wooden Cabin, but the stinging sensation of hitting the water was still fresh in her memory.
But 300 points for that pain was worth it!
Ji Ning opened the light screen panel and replied one by one to the greetings the three men had just sent, telling them she had participated in a horror-themed instance.
She also took the opportunity to ask Xing Ye a question she was very curious about.
Ji Ning: Brother Xing Ye, what was that high-difficulty instance you cleared like? How many points did you get?
Xing Ye replied: A five-star difficulty battle royale instance, 600 points.
Ji Ning: So impressive! As expected of the man I admire most!
Xing Ye: The last instance was horror. Were you scared, good girl?
Ji Ning: I was pretty scared. I ran into Sheng Churan, who's tenth on the Popularity Leaderboard, and he helped me a lot.
Xing Ye: That's good. When I can't be by your side, I can't help but worry about you.
Ji Ning: I can handle it! Brother Xing Ye, please don't let worrying about me affect your mission!
Xing Ye: Having someone to worry about is also a kind of happiness.
Ji Ning stared at that sentence for a moment, a sweet warmth spreading through her heart.
She could sense that Xing Ye wasn't actually very eloquent; the things he said weren't to coax her into being happy, but truly expressed what he was thinking.
That kind of sincere affection was truly hard not to be moved by.
A small humanoid icon in the upper right corner of the interface suddenly started flashing, and Ji Ning knew that Sheng Churan's friend request had probably arrived.
She clicked on it and accepted.
Sheng Churan sent a message: Thanks for carrying me to an easy win, wife.
Ji Ning replied: You flatter me, Heartthrob. It was a win-win cooperation! But we're out of the instance now, why are you still calling me that? It's a bit embarrassing.
Sheng Churan: If you're just embarrassed, then I'll keep calling you that.
Sheng Churan: I like this feeling.
Ji Ning: Hahaha, alright! I'm the one getting a bargain anyway.
Sheng Churan: Looking forward to our next collaboration, wife.
Ji Ning: Fate brings us together from a thousand miles away~
The pleasant Wooden Cabin time was always short-lived, and Ji Ning was about to face her sixth Werewolf Game and instance.
She glanced at the five men lying in the list on the light screen, wondering if she would run into any of them this time.
【12-Player Wolf King-Guard Werewolf has begun. Drawing player identities.】
【Player No. 6 Ji Ning, your role is Wolf King.】
【During the day, pretend to be a good person to mislead, and at night, attack Villagers or Power Roles. Annihilate either side to win the game.】
【After being eliminated, the Wolf King can choose to take one player down with them. The Wolf King can Self-Destruct or Self-Kill. After Self-Kill, they can take a player; after Self-Destruct, they cannot.】
This time, with the Alpha Wolf role, Ji Ning felt a bit nervous.
With the prompts "Night falls, everyone close your eyes" and "Werewolves, open your eyes," the thick darkness around the round table lifted, and Ji Ning saw the other three wolf teammates.
They were male player No. 3, female player No. 7, and male player No. 10.
Male player No. 10 looked like a newcomer, his face pale and expression terrified.
As the Alpha Wolf, Ji Ning took the initiative to assign tasks.
"Number 10, first calm down. Don't say anything careless when you speak later. Let's kill number 11 tonight. Tomorrow I'll claim out Seer. I'm the Wolf King, so I'll be shooting someone when I die, so don't all of you push hard for me. Numbers 7 and 10, play Deep Cover—hook onto the real Seer."
Recalling the last time she met Sheng Churan, when he was in seat 4 and, skipping over his wolf teammate in seat 5, had given Ji Ning a Gold Water, Ji Ning glanced at her own wolf teammate in seat 7 and added, "Tomorrow, depending on the situation, if seat 4 is on the Sheriff Ballot, I'll give him a Wolf Check; if he's off the ballot, I'll give him Gold Water. If I report a Wolf Check and hit a Hunter's iron plate, Number 3 can claim Hunter and stand with me, which can mislead others into thinking I'm not the Wolf King with the gun."
By using the same method of skipping a seat to report an investigate result as Sheng Churan, Ji Ning was also hiding the identity of her number 7 wolf teammate.
If she reported on seat 4, everyone would focus on those three cards: 4, 5, and 6. This time, she wasn't on the same side as seat 5, so if someone analyzed her the way she had analyzed Sheng Churan, they'd also push seat 5 into the Wolf Pool.
Numbers 3 and 7, seeing how thorough Ji Ning's arrangements were, nodded with relief and decided to use the wolf kill on number 11.
Even though number 10 was very panicked, he listened carefully to what Ji Ning said and silently reminded himself to follow the experienced player.
Just before daybreak, Ji Ning thought to herself that this time seat 4 probably wasn't Sheng Churan, since they had just been matched in the same instance together.
【Day breaks.】
All the players around the round table revealed their faces. Ji Ning suppressed her curiosity about seat 4 and calmly swept her gaze clockwise around the table.
The result surprised her greatly: not only was Sheng Churan indeed sitting in seat 4 again, but Big Boss Jiang Ting was also sitting in seat 1.
These two were so smart; she wondered if she could pull off her big move of a werewolf hard claim in front of them…
