CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 160: SISTER NING CARRIES ME TO VICTORY, CARRIES ME TO GLORY

Bai Xiaotang is fearless out of ignorance, while Lin Yuanyang trusts Ji Ning unconditionally.

Just like that, they operated their characters and followed behind [Daddy Ning], walking further and further.

There are many dangers deep in the map, but the resources are also abundant.

The three of them walked and picked up items along the way, soon arming their characters to the teeth.

[Mjolnir] was a bit anxious seeing that the three hadn’t returned for so long, and shouted for them to regroup in the camp channel.

Initially, Lin Yuanyang still responded in the channel.

[LYY: We seem to be lost. We can’t find our way back.]

[Mjolnir: Follow the coordinates. Didn’t you find them before?]

[LYY: We followed the coordinates, but ended up in a dead end and can’t get through.]

[Mjolnir: Where are you? Report the coordinates.]

Lin Yuanyang randomly reported a false set of coordinates and then stopped responding.

If asked further, he pretended not to see.

The three of them had a smooth journey, without seeing any high-level Mutant Beasts or mutated corpses, as if they’d activated cheats.

Even Bai Xiaotang couldn’t help but exclaim, "Those people are really timid."

Lin Yuanyang rolled his eyes, "Without Sister Ning as a guide, do you really think you could get here?"

The game’s simulated ambient sound is very realistic, and though their journey wasn’t peaceful, with frequent haunting howls, Sister Ning always led them to quickly evade, allowing them to smoothly reach the gunpowder storage ahead and grab many weapons and equipment.

But game unwritten rules state that with many equipment, a big monster is bound to appear.

Be it a tough elite, or a troublesome mini-boss.

As expected, just as they were about to push the door and leave, they ran into a mutated corpse at least Third Rank.

Bai Xiaotang was so scared she almost dropped her phone, luckily Ji Ning managed [Daddy Ning] to decisively fire, preventing [Princess Tangtang] from dying at the hands of the mutated corpse.

Though Third Rank mutated corpses aren’t too hard to handle, for them at this stage, they count as fast-moving, thick-skinned mini-bosses with plenty of health.

Ji Ning also didn’t dare to take risks, urging Bai Xiaotang to quickly move with Lin Yuanyang out of the battle zone, while she relied on maneuvering to both attack and divert its full attention.

Typically, there are no other monsters where a mini-boss resides, though it’s not certain the mini-boss would use summoning skills to draw some minor creatures.

Not wanting to prolong the situation, seeing the two characters already in relatively safe spots, Ji Ning immediately ordered, "Start shooting, stay alert to your surroundings."

Whether due to good luck or not, this Third Rank mutated corpse didn’t summon other minions, allowing them to smoothly grind it down.

Thus, their characters leveled up and improved various attributes.

[Daddy Ning] successfully upgraded to Second Rank Fire Ability User, while [Princess Tangtang] and [LYY] significantly improved their spiritual power and physique levels.

As [Mjolnir] mentioned, after [Daddy Ning] became a Second Rank Fire Ability User, the Second Rank skill tree was unlocked.

Two skills appeared: Flame Bomb and Fire Shadow Blade.

They require matching weapons to be used effectively.

Ji Ning tried several weapons from the inventory, found they were usable, and swapped in a handy weapon.

The camp channel broadcasts each player’s status in real-time, like when the three successfully killed the Third Rank mutated corpse, it appeared in the camp channel.

[Congratulations to player Daddy Ning, player Princess Tangtang, player LYY for successfully killing a Third Rank mutated corpse. Rewarded with 300 personal points and 1000 camp points respectively.]

In camp confrontation mode, after the game ends, both camp points and each player’s personal points are tallied, with the winning camp’s players and MVP receiving different game points according to their personal rankings, used to enhance the game’s character rank. Players in the camp with the fewest points will have game points deducted harshly, possibly causing character rank drop.

In the game "Chaotic World Fire", character rank is divided into 8 levels from low to high: Survivor, Junior Mercenary, Intermediate Mercenary, Senior Mercenary, King of Mercenaries, Overlord, Chaotic World Hero, Supreme Commander, each rank has 5 stars, collecting all five stars allows upward rank enhancement.

The acquisition of stars in each rank is exchanged for game points.

Therefore, every time Bai Xiaotang plays, she always says: "Sister Ning, carry me, fly me up ranks."

Seeing that broadcasting message, [Mjolnir] and others almost had their eyes pop out.

Those three "lost" newcomers actually killed a Third Rank mutated corpse?

Were they seeing things?

"Bro, aren’t those three newbies?"

The young man, wearing headphones and deeply immersed in gaming, suddenly looked up at the man on the opposite bed.

The man’s mood wasn’t great, frowning, lips pursed tight, only after a while did he say, "Tell them to ignore them."

Not following commands and liking to fly solo, huh?

Now, he wanted to see just how far those three newcomers could go?

Seeing no further inquiries in the camp channel, Ji Ning stopped paying attention.

[Daddy Ning] led [Princess Tangtang] and [LYY] across terrains, picking items and fighting along the way, reaching the territory of another camp.

The three hid in a puddle, carefully observing the bustling enemy camp ahead.

Without alerting those in the camp, they bypassed to nearby mountain forests.

This area seemed to be the camp’s resource gathering region.

The Deserted Island is perpetually shrouded in mist, darkness is normal, especially outdoors where visibility is zero.

Without the flashlight carried by characters, this game might as well be blind man’s buff.

Monster hunting depends wholly on hearing.

Ji Ning, coincidentally having the best hearing among the three, could swiftly judge the direction and type of enemy from subtle sounds.

"Stay put, there should be two people ahead."

Ji Ning switched hot weapons to a dagger, maneuvering[Daddy Ning] forward slowly.

Characters aren’t supposed to be less than 5 meters apart; closer than that exposes the flashlight glow, revealing their positions.

Bai Xiaotang watched[Daddy Ning]progressing further on the screen, nervously lightening her breath, fearing it might disturb Ji Ning’s efforts.

Suddenly—

A flash of fire appeared, and with a muffled grunt, [Daddy Ning] had already slit a well-geared player’s throat from behind.

Two gunshots followed, killing another player not far from [Daddy Ning].

The two corpses dropped many resources, Ji Ning quickly called them to collect.

Each character has limited carrying capacity, so Ji Ning made them discard many weapons, retaining only ammo and suitable weapons.

Though Bai Xiaotang felt sorry for the discarded weapons, Ji Ning permitted no delay, "Quickly leave here."

The gunshots surely reached camp members’ ears.

Plus, the world channel and camp channel already broadcasted the kill notification.

[Western Camp - Daddy Ning successfully killed Southern Camp - Chaotic Little Bear, rewarding 100 personal points and 100 camp points]

[Western Camp - Daddy Ning successfully killed Southern Camp - KIM, rewarding 200 personal points and 200 camp points]

Then the world channel erupted...
