Chapter 29 You, my friend, I've sold myself...to you
Bai Ruoyi looked at Jiang Li, who was leaving, and felt a trace of loneliness in her heart. She seemed to be missing something. She had a very happy day today. This landlord was not like a friend, but more like a confidant. The wooden pendant in her hand became warm, but she knew that if she didn't change herself, all of this would disappear because she was a nightmare player.
Maybe she would die at any moment. Facing the newly acquired happiness, Bai Ruoyi couldn't bear to leave this beautiful world.
She decided to call her dad, in case she died. She didn't want him to investigate her death. It's better to get a vaccination first, after all, he is a policeman.
"Hey, little girl. What wind blew you here? You never call unless it's a holiday. The sun rises from the west today."
Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Ruoyi's melancholy face lit up with a charming smile. "I can't call you except on holidays? I've been thinking of you."
"It seems that my daughter has grown up and learned to care for her dad." He added, "Are you really okay?"
"Actually, there is something I want to tell you."
"I knew it, why would you call me out of the blue? What's the matter?" On the other end of the line, hearing that her daughter needed help, not only did he not feel surprised, but rather felt a sense of achievement as a father that his daughter needed his help, he guaranteed confidently.
"Believe it or not, I recently received a black envelope, and I..."
White Ruoyi hesitated, but decided to answer truthfully, but his father interrupted him and said, "Is it Nightmare Paradise?"
Bai Ruoyi was also stunned, she did not expect her father to know, her expression became stunned, and she did not know what to say.
After being stunned for a while, she said in surprise, "How do you know?"
"This is trouble now. You need to come to my place as soon as possible. Going in for the first time is a very dangerous thing, but luckily you told me. I will provide you with help. Don't think that I'm just being alarmist. Everything written in that letter is true," said Mr. Bai with a serious tone.
"Well, actually I've already been inside, but I thought it was such a big deal that I should still tell you, I didn't expect you to already know."
At a desk near a police station, a middle-aged man looked dazed. When he heard that his daughter had already passed the first nightmare stage, he was unsure whether to be happy or worried.
After a long silence, he continued, "Since you have experience with it, you should know its dangers. Come to my place, there are some things that cannot be said over the phone, I need to tell you in person."
Bai Ruoyi only knew about his father and his possible official background, and without hesitation, he left Yao Yao alone in the empty house and set off overnight to his father's workplace to find him and learn the truth.
……
Jiang Li left the old community and went straight home. Today was a rare day for him to relax a bit, and he planned to have a late-night snack at home.
After all, his 13-point physique was not a joke, and it might be the continuous effect of the Jin Yuan Key. Recently, he always felt hungry, and his body strength seemed to be increasing all the time. This should be the follow-up power effect of the Jin Yuan Secret Medicine, which was a good thing. Just by eating, he could improve his strength, which was a beautiful thing.
The elevator door slowly opened and Jiang Li walked out humming a tune. As he turned a corner, his voice abruptly stopped because he saw someone sitting at his door.
Jiang Li stared in disbelief. Could beggars now have learned how to squat at doors? Their identity was exposed so quickly. Speaking of which, who is this person?
Jiang Li approached slowly and quietly, but the person didn't notice her arrival and remained seated, unmoved.
As Jiang Li got closer, she realized that the person was none other than Ye Pingsheng, the young master of the Ye family she had met at the previous banquet. He was leaning against the doorframe, with his hands hugging his knees and his gross face drooling as he stared at the ceiling.
He should be wearing a set of battle gear, but at this moment, it was in tatters with scratches everywhere, and there were even traces of blood that had not yet dried. Obviously, he had just engaged in a fierce battle with something, or had been beaten unilaterally.
Jiang Li pushed his shoulder and whispered, "Hey, wake up. You're blocking the door to my house."
Ye Pingsheng felt someone calling him, and his spring...beautiful dream was immediately shattered. He woke up with a bad temper and wanted to see who was disturbing his beautiful dream.
However, as he opened his eyes and saw Jiang Li's figure, the dissatisfaction in his heart dissipated. He wiped away the drool at the corner of his mouth, quickly stood up, and smiled as he said to Jiang Li, "Big Brother, I'm back."
"I see. So what did you come to my house for?"
"Didn't you say you would find me after the game and we could trade some equipment that suits me better?"
Jiang Li suddenly remembered that he did say that. At that time, he didn't have much hope for this playboy and never expected him to come back alive. But considering the help he had given him, he still told him those things. It was unexpected that there would be such a pleasant surprise now.
"You should know my phone number, why don't you give me a call?"
Hehe, as the third young master of the Ye family, although I am a joke within the family and have no intention of inheriting the family business, I am still influenced by the family to some extent and know how to handle people. If I call directly, I might ruin the mood...
You see, big brother is coming back so late. Maybe he had some romantic encounter. If I ruin his mood, I won't be able to talk to him. It's not polite to wait outside his door like this.
Ye Pingsheng thought to himself, "In ancient times, there was Liu Bei who visited Zhuge Liang three times in a thatched cottage. But today, there is me, Ye Pingsheng, squatting at the door to protect my big brother."
"You know, the Nightmare Space is extremely dangerous. As soon as I got out, the first person I thought of was my big brother. But I forgot to ask something important," he said.
Jiang Li didn't think too much and said, "Okay, let's go inside and talk."
"Alright, brother."
Jiang Li took out the key, opened the door, put on her slippers and walked into the living room. She said to Ye Ping who was behind her, "There are spare slippers on the shoe rack. You can wear them yourself. Sit over there for a while, I'll pour you a glass of water. It must have been tough waiting here."
"No pain, no pain."
Jiang Li turned and entered the kitchen, took two glass cups and poured some warm water into them, then carried the two cups of steaming water back into the living room.
Ye Pingsheng was already wearing slippers and sitting properly on the chair, like a well-behaved elementary school student. Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh at the sight.
He is also just like him, a newcomer who has experienced a nightmare space once, but he experienced it earlier, isn't that a senior? It happens to be able to use his nightmare space as a reference for future arrangements.
Jiang Li handed over the water cup, and Ye Pingsheng took it with both hands and thanked her as the cup was slightly warm.
"Tell me how did you survive,” Jiang Li asked during his break in drinking water. "To be honest, I estimate your chances of survival were less than ten percent. Your survival really is a miracle."
Ye Pingsheng's drinking motion paused, and instead of being angry at Jiang Li's remark, he nodded in agreement and endorsed Jiang Li's statement.
"Yes, brother, you're right. If it were just me alone, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive, but this time I held onto the thigh, the kind of thick one."
Jiang Li scrutinized his face, which was neither handsome nor upright, and then looked at his body, which lacked muscles. She asked tentatively, "Are you a woman?"
"How could a girl possibly be interested in me? Of course it's a guy."
"It's terrifying to think about. Are they really willing to give up their dignity for their life? They are truly ruthless, compromising and carrying heavy burdens. You are truly a hero."
Looking at Jiang Li's unbelieving eyes and his seat moving a little further away, he, being a seasoned player, instantly understood what was going on.
"Brother, you got it wrong. It's not what you think. We just ran into an official player this time, we can just ride on their coattails and win effortlessly."
Jiang Li was also taken aback, official players? Yes, the country is a huge organization, and with such a large number of Nightmare players, it is impossible not to be detected by the government. It is not surprising that there is a group of players organized by the government, but it also made Jiang Li feel a sense of crisis. With the government's involvement in his parents' affairs, he couldn't tell whether they were friend or foe.
"Be more specific," Jiang Li became interested.
Seeing Jiang Li's interest, Ye Pingsheng laid everything out like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. He even revealed all the details without Jiang Li asking about the specifics of the space.
Jiang Li exclaimed, "My goodness, has alcohol and sex emptied not only his body but also his brain? Doesn't he even have basic negotiation skills?"
"He's easy to deal with. Consider him sold...deal."
