Chapter 379: Chapter 206: Incidents at the Base by Night

Lin Wu didn’t tease this time and listened seriously to Shana’s outpouring. He didn’t try to persuade Shana but asked, "After adopting a fearless attitude toward death, do you feel much more relaxed?"

After thinking for a while, Shana nodded: "It’s not bad. Besides, I still play a role as Deputy Commander. I also have unique advantages that won’t disappear with my death."

Lin Wu dissatisfied: "You mean my advantages will disappear with my death?"

Shana said with a giggle: "Yes."

Lin Wu tapped Shana’s head with his Silencer: "I have permanent main double agile and deputy mind stats. Even if I die, I can level up quickly."

Shana glared at Lin Wu and rubbed her head then asked, "Haven’t you thought about ending up in an unfamiliar environment after you die? You lose Wai, you lose friends, you lose skills, you almost lose everything."

Lin Wu replied, "I’ll consider it as being reborn in life with a golden finger. In reality, I know that even with reincarnation, I can’t carry memories with me. But in the game, if I die, I’m certain I’ll resurrect with my memories. If I’m afraid of death in the game, how can I face real life?" There’s a glass that’s half-empty and a glass that’s half-full, representing the same reality with two different attitudes.

Shana: "Your words make me feel inferior."

Lin Wu: "I allow you to feel inferior."

Shana swung her stick. I can mock myself for going through menopause, but you can’t say I’m going through it.

Lin Wu easily dodged: "Remember the route."

Shana said, "Piece of cake. Just like you can’t understand my mindset, you’ll never comprehend my intelligence."

Lin Wu counterattacked, and although Shana was prepared, she was no match for Lin Wu and got hit on the head again. Annoyed, Shana took out her stick: "Come here, turn around." She tapped him lightly as revenge.

After horsing around, they continued walking. After a while, Shana sighed softly, "I’m really worried I might fall for you."

Lin Wu magnanimously said, "It’s normal to like someone who’s both handsome and has points."

Shana laughed: "You really are shameless."

Lin Wu said, "Whether with or without shame, he wouldn’t be interested in you."

"I’ll fight you to the death." Her face changed instantly, and she swung more than a dozen times. Lin Wu kept his hands behind his back, hopping and dodging on the spot. Finally, when he was told not to move, he was kicked in the shin and it was over.

...

Chatting and roughhousing along the way, they finally arrived at Bounty Hunter Hall five hours later. Lin Wu criticized Shana for taking too much time and told her to be more time-conscious in the future, which earned him another kick from Shana.

After a long time, Uncle was still the same, neither fatter nor thinner, grinning harmlessly. Lin Wu placed the task tokens for the 34th, 33rd, and 32nd floors of Left County Hotel on the table.

After carefully examining the tokens, Uncle said, "You can only accept one task at a time."

Lin Wu said, "One for me, one for her."

Uncle explained, "If you have a task token for the 34th floor, you can’t join the team of those with a 33rd-floor task token." You can accept tasks separately, but once you do, you can’t complete them together. Without Shana, it might still be okay, but without Lin Wu, it’s definitely not going to work. Not to mention whether Lin Wu’s strength is sufficient; he is now the core of Shadow’s strength. Going out with Lin Wu and facing a wipeout is different from facing a wipeout without him. The former means everyone did their best; the latter is a blunder.

Lin Wu put away the tokens for the 33rd and 32nd floors: "34th floor task, and I’ll also take a regular task."

The 34th floor task was to find the Star of the Deep Sea. The task briefing was summarized, and there were 17 luxury suites on the 34th floor. The lodgers in the luxury suites were either rich or noble, so many attendants were around.

This was a task combining fighting and puzzle-solving to find an item, with a difficulty level of C+. The reward was undisclosed, and the goal was to exchange the Deep Blue Star with Uncle for a prize.

Lin Wu made a complaint backwards. He thought it was very unreasonable that the Bounty Hunter Hall task to find the Deep Blue Star didn’t offer bounty points.

Little White Rabbit: "I think it’s reasonable."

Seeing that the other party was short of words, Lin Wu wisely chose not to continue the argument and waved it off, turning to chat with Uncle. It was only then that Lin Wu realized his billion-dollar mistake. Apparently, there were task points similar to Left County Hotel in North Town. Lin Wu thought of Nightmare. Nightmare wasn’t afraid of death, and a player’s bounty level would reset after death. Even so, Nightmare went to Bounty Hunter Hall alone, through the county sign sewer.

Would Nightmare be willing to spend six or seven hours coming back to accept a bounty task? The answer was obviously no, leaving only one conclusion; Nightmare knew the location of the task point in North Town.

Realizing this, Lin Wu stomped his foot and clenched his fists in annoyance: "Damn Fortress agents, all of them are bad eggs." It’s not that I’m too pure; it’s just the villains are too classless.

Uncle told Lin Wu that there were four task points in Left County, but finding and reaching these points was difficult. Lin Wu asked for clues about the four task points, but Uncle just smiled without answering.

Shana inquired, "Uncle, what do you think of the evacuation task on the 35th floor?" The task on the 35th floor didn’t need to be accepted at the hall; it could be triggered directly.

Uncle responded, "I’m not sure."

Lin Wu asked, "How high is the intensity of an A-level task?"

Uncle replied, "Very high."

Lin Wu smiled and asked, "Any suggestions?"

Uncle: "I suggest you not ask me for suggestions."

"Haha!" That’s only because you’re protected by the system. Otherwise, you would have died eighteen times over, believe it or not?
