Returning from the abyss

Chapter 294
Lu Ning is now standing on a stone bridge in the central area of ​​the distribution center, the river flows under her feet, and small boats occasionally drive behind the flowing water under the bridge.She adjusted her mentality very quickly. At least the optimistic character of Yetisi made her no longer worry about whether she was qualified enough for promotion, but began to seriously consider how to prepare.

Don't underestimate any promotion. This is the rule she set for herself after meeting Yan Danqing. So far, most of what Lu Ning has accumulated is some common knowledge. Except for the skills of investigation, the rest cannot be called specialization. , but there are no obvious weaknesses.This level may be enough for the second level, but not necessarily for the third level.

The promotion is still a survival type, which means that the pressure comes from the scene rather than the tourists, but if she chooses the first task, it means that there are some additional confrontation elements in it, and she needs to party with the puppet The person who grabs the rhythm of the scene.

Capabilities, information, weapons, people.

This is almost the most important power component in every scene, there is no so-called priority.Lu Ning is better at collecting information, and as long as she can use her ability, she can use it as a weapon. Only people are the most troublesome, and she still can't control people's hearts stably.

Maybe need some teammates...

Lu Ning got off the bridge and started walking in the direction of the river, when she was distracted and ran into a person.

"Sorry, I'm not familiar with the way here..."

The other party apologized first, but as soon as Lu Ning looked up, he saw that this was a burly young man, wearing a bunt, and he looked a bit straightforward from his appearance.But at this moment, another voice sounded, slightly surprised: "Lu, Lu Ning!"

A petite person emerged from behind the young man, with a look of surprise, she kept opening her mouth but didn't know what to say. Of course, Lu Ning had seen her like this many times.

"Xuan Zitong, have you been promoted?" Lu Ning waved at her.

"You guys know each other? Oh, you are the sister that Xiaotong always talks about?" The young man suddenly realized, "It was thanks to you for taking care of her that time."

Xuan Zitong still didn't speak very sharply, but she looked very happy.The young man's name is Fan Hao, and he is the captain of Xuan Zitong's team. The two of them came out together to learn about the situation in the second-tier distribution center. In fact, they only completed their promotion last night.

"Congratulations, is everything going well?" Lu Ning was also very happy.

"Sister Yun, help, everything is fine." Xuan Zitong said.

Yun Zhiyao?Lu Ning still remembered her, or it was hard to forget her such a maverick character.

"She's still very enthusiastic."

"Sister Yun helped us a lot, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses this time." Fan Hao was a little lucky for the rest of his life after the catastrophe. "The test for promotion is really unusual. It seems that the pressure of survival for the second rank is even greater."

"All of your teams have been promoted?"

"Mostly, success." Xuan Zitong gestured to "mostly" with both hands, and said exaggeratedly, "Although, the bottom line, but, very good."

Successful promotion, even if the bottom line is crossed, is a huge sum of money for these people.Lu Ning didn't want to ask how much they had lost. Being able to reach the second level alive was already a victory for such a team.

"Lu Ning, are you okay?"

"I'm not bad." Lu Ning nodded, she was ready to be promoted, and generally speaking, she was really good.

"We, live, here."

Xuan Zitong took out her mobile phone, sent her her address, and then teased Fan Hao.Fan Hao nodded immediately: "If you like, you are welcome to come to our place as a guest at any time. Xiaotong originally planned to come to you as soon as he was promoted, but he was a little afraid."

"I'm not a beast." Lu Ning laughed, "It's just that you may have to work harder. The second level is not easy, and you can't be the only ones who have improved."

"Of course, everyone has enough points this time. I'm going to let everyone go through the basic training, otherwise I won't be able to lead the team in the future. By the way, that... the first meeting may not be very good, but I still want to know..."

"what?"

"Do you know Xiang Yi from the puppet party?"

Xuan Zitong's expression changed the moment she heard the name, and Lu Ning could even see the anger in her eyes.

"He's right here."

Lu Ning nodded.

Fan Hao suddenly became serious: "He is here? Are you sure?"

"I was promoted with him. At that time, I didn't know that he was the person you have been looking for, but after I found out, I didn't have the chance to enter the same scene with him again. It just so happens that it was supposed to be your revenge. , since I came here in person, I don’t need to do it if I think about it.”

"Of course, thank you. I will, personally." Xuan Zitong clenched her fists. After that scene, she undoubtedly experienced a lot. Now that she was angry, Lu Ning vaguely felt a little danger.

"We will plan this matter, little pupil." Fan Hao controlled Xuan Zitong's anger, and then said to Lu Ning, "Can we make an appointment to discuss this matter in detail? Or..."

"I will write a profile to Xuan Zitong, but I don't know much. Xiang Yi almost avoids fighting when he is promoted. I don't know much about him. As for the meeting, I don't have much time recently. .”

She was preparing to be promoted, so she definitely wouldn't have so much time to discuss Xiang Yi's issue, and Xuan Zitong would not settle this matter by other people's hands.

"Okay." Fan Hao was very happy. Judging from his performance in the short ten minutes of meeting, this captain is still very competent.

"Then you guys continue to get familiar with this place, it's still very important, I'm going back now." Lu Ning said.

After saying goodbye to the two, Lu Ning quickly returned to the yard.At this time, a barbecue grill had been set up, and the yard was full of the smell of charcoal grilled meat. Ning Yeyi was holding a porcelain plate and using tongs to turn over the meat skewers on the fire.

"Barbecue for lunch?"

"It's already afternoon, I'm planning to have it for dinner." Ning Yeyi grinned.

Among the four of them now, she and Lu Ning are the most relaxed. Fujii is continuing to work hard because of the loss in the last game, and Shu Xingruo has always worked from morning to night every day.Thinking of this, Lu Ning suddenly realized that she no longer knew how far Ning Yeyi had grown.

"Yeyi, I want to ask you something."

"Say, if you want to eat, come and get it yourself." Ning Yeyi pointed to a plate that had already been tested with a clip.

"When do you plan to upgrade?"

"From what you said, it seems that the organization asked you to upgrade? It's very difficult?" Ning Yeyi immediately knew what happened to Lu Ning.

"It's an upgrade, but I'm not sure if I can do it alone... If you think the risk is too high, then forget it. My request is a bit rude."

Lu Ning walked to the grill and sat down, picked up a skewer and ate it.

"It's definitely not enough to be alone. Even if you are alone now, you have to find teammates when you enter the scene. Think about the scene of blood disaster that can be completed by one person?" Ning Yeyi put down the clip and picked up a skewer. Eat it all in your mouth from the bottom in one bite.

This is what Lu Ning is most worried about.

Upgrading can accommodate so many tourists, and it can also embarrass so many tourists. The power of one person will not make a qualitative leap. It is impossible for her to control the entire situation when she comes up, and she may even be too tired to take care of the puppet. The party guys are gone.

But she still wants to fight for as much as possible.

"Okay."

Ning Yeyi threw the stick into the trash can accurately, and replied casually.

"What did you say?"

"I agree, Lu Ning. If Shu Xing doesn't have the strength to go to the promotion now, Fujii won't go to the promotion if he doesn't save enough points to reassure himself. Is there anyone you know who is more suitable than me?"

"It's not a question of whether it's suitable or not, you should know how to upgrade..."

Ning Yeyi took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket and threw it to Lu Ning. Lu Ning was stunned, and opened the notebook. What was written on it was all kinds of analysis about the second-order promotion test, and some scene examples.

"To put it bluntly, I prepared earlier than you. Even if you are not qualified, I have enough confidence to go to the third level, the chaotic scene... I have wanted to see it for a long time." Ning Yeyi's face was full It's self-confidence, even Lu Ning didn't notice when she developed such an aura.

"Haha, am I a mediocre person?"

"I'm not a friend who is afraid of trouble, but when I have any difficulties, I will directly bring them up to you."

"I can't ask for it." Lu Ning finally let go of her heart.

"By the way, when?" Ning Yeyi thought of something and asked immediately.

"For the promotion scene after thirteen days, the registration time should be nine days later, that is the most certain time."

"Then there is still time, do you want to go back and have a look?" Ning Yeyi suggested.

"Go back and have a look?"

"First-level distribution center, have you forgotten that we can go back? But after this upgrade, we can never go back. People of third-level can only go back to second-level."

"Oh……"

"Don't tell me you don't have anyone to remember you at the first level. Even if you're not so gregarious, it's not like you don't have any friends."

Although it wasn't that miserable, Lu Ning only had one friend who was still at the first level.

============
Back to the already unfamiliar mixed-style distribution center, I suddenly felt that it was a bit small.If the distribution center of the second level is already a small town, then the first level is only as big as a village.

There are many people gathered at the entrance of the information center, and among them there are a few who are obviously more confident. They are the so-called second-level tourists who come to "earn extra money". Lu Ning only learned later that the points cannot be transferred casually. To charge smoothly, you have to sign a temporary tour guide contract with the information center first, no wonder the fee is so high.

She didn't need it, but looked at the group of newcomers with a little emotion.

The people squatting at the door have changed again. The first level will never lack such people, and the disappearance of any person will not be particularly strange, and no one will even care. When Lu Ning passed by, many people spontaneously She avoided it, as if she could see her identity as a second-tier tourist... Is this the experience of squatting out?

This is also the last time I saw these people. The time she chose to come back was at night, and she could still see some vehicles returning in the distance. Maybe it was the end of another scene, or the arrival of newcomers?

She walked into the cemetery, and it was basically the same as before, except for a few more stone tablets, which were erected by someone with spare money.

"It's been a long journey." She walked past the stone monuments and walked to the two target monuments, "and I will never come back after leaving this time. To be honest, it makes me feel that I still haven't grown up. , but look, I saved people, Sister Yin Lian, Sister Ling Yan."

This world will grind people's hearts harder and harder, and the surface will become more and more hypocritical.But everyone is cherishing the second life, and using the way that best suits their own wishes, so that this life will not be wasted.

"In fact... you should like this place very much. At least it is different from what you expected. This is a cruel arena, but it is not a desperate hunting ground." Lu Ning sat down in front of the stone tablet, "I probably know that this place was After seeing what it looks like, I cherish the hard-won 'peaceful' competition more and more. I am very lucky to have come to such an era, and I don't need to be a hero, I just need to enjoy the shadow of a hero."

As the cold wind blew past, Lu Ning raised her head and looked at the eternally gloomy sky in the cemetery.

"I haven't been able to save some people... I have a stubborn friend. Although I immediately avenged her, I still feel that if I work harder, I may be able to change something. I originally wanted to give her Set up a monument here, but if she knows that she has been beaten back to the first level, she will probably chatter with me for a long time..."

Lu Ning stayed in the cemetery for more than an hour, talking casually what she wanted to say, and then left all those thoughts here.

After that, she took a taxi to the library.

There are only some night shifts in the library at this time, but Lu Ning just came to ask about Yang Shuyu's situation.And the waiter on duty quickly helped her find out about Yang Shuyu - she asked for leave.

There is only one situation for the staff of the distribution center to ask for leave, the scene.

"When?"

"I took leave yesterday for a week. I hope she can come back soon." The waiter replied.

Lu Ning wouldn't wait that long, she could only leave a message for Yang Shuyu, then turned and left.

Looking at it this way, it seems that I really don't know anyone.

Oh, and one more.

She sent a message, and soon, the other party replied. Outside a cheap apartment, she saw a changed Pang Shaotong.

The unsuccessful promotion did not particularly affect his mood, and seeing Lu Ning was as happy as an old friend.Lu Ning was a little surprised at the environment he lived in now, it shouldn't be the level where people of his level lived anyway.

"Save money, train." Pang Shaotong said succinctly, "I don't want to lose again. I must succeed in the next promotion, so I try not to spend money on extra places. By the way, Shen Xinyue, do you remember? I saw it in Li, she said that she was only [-] points short that time, and she might pass it if she worked harder to participate."

"Does she regret it?"

"No, she's not someone who regrets. She knows very well that for those fifty points, she might risk her life. If she loses her life, she will lose everything."

"Sure enough, it's still her style."

"So what's the matter when you come back this time?" Pang Shaotong asked.

"I'm about to upgrade again, so come back and take a last look. If you don't upgrade in the future, you will never see me again."

Pang Shaotong was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I wish you the best of luck, and be careful."

"I will."

"Also, don't try to come back again, I don't know if this place gives you an illusion of hometown, because you may have some important memories left here... But as a failed person, I want to say something, here Not home, nostalgia will only make people weak."

Lu Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at Pang Shaotong, but didn't ask him what happened.
