Chapter 201: Lucky One
After leaving the town, the five players who survived the Tycoon Town game returned safely to the initial Wooden Cabin.
Ji Ning was deeply moved by the hidden storyline in the instance that touched on the relationship between parents and children. Even back in the cabin, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
At that moment, she needed someone to lean on.
Following her thoughts, the system panel opened, and she pulled up the chat window with Xing Ye.
There was a greeting from Xing Ye earlier, so Ji Ning replied along with his words first.
Ji Ning: Brother Xing Ye, I'm out of the instance.
Xing Ye: Why is my good girl unhappy?
Ji Ning: You could tell?
She was surprised by Xing Ye's question, since after all, they were only communicating through text.
She was shocked by Xing Ye's sharpness, and her mood quietly improved a little because of it, something even she didn't consciously realize.
Xing Ye: You didn't use any tone particles today.
Xing Ye: Did something happen in the instance?
Ji Ning: Nothing happened. I just thought about my parents, wondering if they're living well.
Xing Ye: With your longing, they will be very happy too.
Ji Ning: What about you? Brother Xing Ye, do you ever miss your previous life?
Xing Ye: I'm an orphan. I was taken into a mercenary unit for training as a child and later served an overseas mercenary company, IGO. So my past is not exactly honorable; I hope you don't mind.
Ji Ning: I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked.
Ji Ning: But it's absolutely nothing bad. Brother Xing Ye, in my heart, you're the best person.
Xing Ye: Let's not talk about me. Taking care of you is what's important. Come talk to me whenever you feel down in the future; I'll keep you company.
Xing Ye: I am your man, and also your big brother.
Xing Ye: I'll always be here.
Seeing Xing Ye's messages, Ji Ning's lips curled up involuntarily.
She lay on her side, chatting with him about all sorts of topics. Her mood relaxed until her consciousness grew faint. Without realizing it, she closed her eyes to rest and quickly lost awareness, falling asleep.
She slept for nine hours. After waking up fully rested, washing up, and changing clothes, she scrolled to the bottom of the Popular Video Leaderboard and watched for a long time. Not seeing any video of herself, Ji Ning's anxious heart finally settled.
Well, of course, if someone could see her here, someone jealous would have already come knocking.
The fact that none of her men brought up anything else meant that her videos weren't up there yet.
While praying that she would never make it onto that leaderboard, Ji Ning welcomed her eleventh Survival Game.
…
【12-Player Miracle Merchant Werewolf has begun. Drawing player identities.】
【Player No. 6 Ji Ning, your identity is Villager.】
【Please analyze the other players' speeches, cast every vote earnestly, until all Werewolves are banished.】
Listening to the female voice introduction after the start of this Werewolf Game, it was yet another board variant Ji Ning had never played before.
This time she only had the Villager role, unlike last time when she got the Secret Admirer and Wolf Beauty and could hear a role introduction. So she had to open the drawer and take out the Werewolf mode reference card to read.
The fact that there were reference cards in the drawer was something Ji Ning only discovered during her fourth Werewolf Game.
It was as if the system was afraid people would know too much, never volunteering extra information.
She hadn't looked closely before, but this time Ji Ning really needed this item.
Time was tight. She skimmed through it briefly and learned that in the Miracle Merchant board, the Power Role Class cards are Seer, Witch, Guard, and Miracle Merchant.
The Miracle Merchant can grant a player a one-time Power Role skill: choosing one from the Seer's Check, the Witch's Poison, and the Guard's Protection.
If the Miracle Merchant's skill is given to a werewolf, the Miracle Merchant will be eliminated by the backlash.
And in this board, the Alpha Wolf is the Wolf King. It cannot Self-Destruct but can Self-Kill. When banished or killed, it can take one person with it; this is called the Gun Wolf.
Time was short. Just as Ji Ning had grasped the gist, night fell.
A Vanilla Villager could only have their five senses shut down under the system's control, quietly waiting for daybreak.
However, Ji Ning once again heard the female voice give her a private announcement.
【Player No. 6 Ji Ning, you have obtained the Lucky One skill "Check".】
【Lucky One, please act.】
