Chapter 279 Keen Perception
Li Jinyue, on the other end of the watch, was moved to tears as she looked at the gift Lu Youyou sent.
Zhen Lu glanced at her and teased, "Look at you, so pathetic. You're moved to tears by 20 speed-boosting sweet potatoes?"
This completely shattered Li Jinyue's spirits. She took out 15 fast-moving sweet potatoes and gave 5 to each of the remaining three members of the sisterhood.
"These sweet potatoes were contributed by all of us, so let's divide them equally."
Wang Rongrong waved her hand in refusal.
"That won't do, Sister Yueyue. You provided the most sweet potatoes. You not only gave all the sweet potatoes from your planting box, but you also spent the most gold coins to buy sweet potatoes. You should take more."
Li Jinyue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and responded with a smile.
"I got all the gold coins from the gang's money tree. It's taken from the gang and used for the gang. But you, Rongrong, you're the unluckiest. You can only get three or four gold coins from the money tree each time. You saved up the gold coins to buy sweet potatoes yourself, right?"
The four sisters exchanged smiles and put away the sweet potatoes that Li Jinyue had given them.
Wang Rongrong said sentimentally, "I lied to the gang leader about the auto-navigation thing once. I hope that the compensation I've made these past few days will satisfy the gang leader."
Zhen Lu patted her shoulder to comfort her.
"You're too pessimistic. Our gang leader is a very magnanimous person. Even if you directly tell her that you didn't trust her before and that's why you lied to her, the gang leader won't be angry. After all, it's only human nature. Besides, we haven't done anything bad to the gang, and we've made a lot of amends."
Lu Youyou was completely unaware of the worries of Li Jinyue's group of friends. At this moment, she was surprised by the message sent by the gossipy girl.
[Gossip Girl: Finally finished! Didn't you share a story with me this morning? Do you want to know what I did this morning?]
[Gossip Girl: Why are you replying so slowly? Are you cooking? I'll just be blunt, I need help, the game is ending early!]
[Lu Youyou: Why did it end early?]
[Gossip Girl: I heard that the newly appointed Bamboo Forest Saintess is hunting down Gu Jingchen everywhere. Gu Jingchen offered a large sum of money to humans for protection. Those humans weren't dying to compete for first place, but to protect Gu Jingchen. The adults had no choice but to stop the game.]
[Lu Youyou: Why did Gu Jingchen anger the adults by hiring bodyguards? Were many people killed?]
[Gossip Girl: Gu Jingchen is quick-witted. He's escalated this to a conflict between monsters and humans. Humans can't kill the Bamboo Forest Saintess, but they can defeat other monsters. So, while accepting quests, they're killing monsters everywhere. If this continues, the monsters in the game will be wiped out.]
[Lu Youyou: Thank you for telling me this news.]
[Gossip Girl: You're welcome. Aren't we supposed to share secrets with each other?]
As Lu Youyou closed the chat with the gossip girl, she was about to check the public chat to see what was going on when her watch vibrated, signaling that Lu was asking for help and the game was over.
[The game ended early. All scores have been successfully tallied, the overall rankings have been announced, and the rewards for the top five players have been successfully distributed. Please check your accounts.]
This short sentence marks the end of an instance.
The adults must have been furious, because they didn't come forward to announce it themselves, but instead had Xiao Lu do it on their behalf.
Lu Youyou smiled and laughed at Gu Jingchen for digging his own grave.
She opened her watch, clicked on the backpack slot, and saw what the first-place prize was.
[Contact information for a specified NPC *1: After use, select any NPC (regardless of rank), add their contact information, and increase their favorability towards you by 30% from its original level.]
[Specify NPC's Preferences *1: After use, select any NPC and obtain their preferences.]
[Designated NPC's Ability *1: After use, randomly select one NPC and gain one of their abilities.]
[Human Evolution Fluid *1]
It's probably related to the game and NPCs. There are four rewards in total, and three of them are related to NPCs.
She drank the human evolution fluid in one gulp, and perhaps because she drank too much, her body no longer felt the intense burning sensation she had before.
It's like drinking a bottle of warm water, gently transmitting warmth to every part of your body.
As for the remaining rewards, Lu Youyou decided to obtain the Mouse King's contact information and preferences.
[The Mouse King's favorability towards you has increased by 30%, currently at 60%.]
[The King of Rats' favorite thing: food, lots and lots of food, so that every rat in the pack can have a full meal.]
Lu Youyou didn't know how to choose the appropriate app's capabilities.
She wanted the Bamboo Forest Saintess's ability to accelerate plant growth, the Rat King's cooking bonus, the Gossip Girl's information-gathering ability, and the Gold Coin Merchant's ability to create gold coins.
For a moment, she was confused and didn't know who to choose.
"Da Rui, can you give me some pointers?"
Da Rui released a faint guidance, and his whole body radiated a deep green light.
The light stopped, and Da Rui spoke: "Inside my head is a mouse with a missing finger."
Lu Youyou smiled: "Okay, then I'll choose King Mouse."
[Congratulations! You have acquired the Mouse King's skill: Sense of Smell.]
[Sharp Perception: Your keen senses allow you to easily detect any unusual signals in your surroundings, making it easier to hide or attack in time.]
It wasn't running speed, nor was it cooking skills, but rather a keen intuition.
However, this is also very good, as it allows for early detection of danger and the ability to react accordingly.
She rubbed Da Rui's tortoise shell to express her gratitude.
Then, looking at the rankings of the help-seeking game posted by Xiaolu, his name was ranked first.
She had expected this, after all, she got a perfect score, and unless the scores were tied and ordered alphabetically by the first letter of their names, she would always be first.
She continued scrolling down, trying to find Gu Jingchen's ranking.
The first page didn't have it, and neither did the next page. Lu Youyou's eyes were blurry from looking at it, but she still couldn't find Gu Jingchen's name.
Instead of looking at them one by one, she directly searched for Gu Jingchen's name in the ranking search box.
This time it happened.
Gu Jingchen: 47 points, ranked 2890022567
"puff!"
Lu Youyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Next, Lu Youyou searched for Shen Taiyang's name.
Shen Taiyang: 89 points, ranked 888991
Shen Taiyang's score was quite high, even higher than that of Gu Jingchen, the gang leader.
In the past, Gu Jingchen might not have said anything, only assuming that there were formidable figures among the gang members.
But now, it's hard to say.
After all, Gu Jingchen's cover-up of Shen Taiyang created an enmity between him and Gu Jingchen, which prevented him from completing the mission of killing the Bamboo Girl, and consequently, he was unable to complete a series of subsequent missions as well.
Furthermore, the fact that the adults forced everyone to quit the game because of him only added fuel to the fire of Gu Jingchen's already irritable mood.
Lu Youyou didn't believe he could still treat Shen Taiyang the same as before.
