Chapter 250: Team up, prepare in advance!
Upon seeing the card, Fang Ye perked up a bit. He put down the palm fan, glanced at the card, and then focused his gaze on Qin Nuo and Qin Yushi.
"I think I remember something."
"So, this Phantom, is it you or her?" Fang Ye asked, looking at the two of them.
"In the Horror Game, players can't switch genders, right?" Qin Nuo said, a bit embarrassed.
Qin Yushi interjected, "It's possible."
"Just like... well, online, using certain items to change your voice and appearance, dressing as the opposite gender. There are also ghost creatures in the instance rewards that can alter your appearance in the Horror World."
Qin Nuo scratched his head, "These ghost creatures are really diverse."
Over there, the old man came over with a freshly brewed pot of tea, poured three cups, and said, "This old shop doesn't have much to offer, just a good cup of tea."
"The tea is good, it nurtures the mind and body, and it can also relieve fatigue and drowsiness."
The old man put down the teapot and gestured to Qin Yushi, "Girl, come sit down and have a taste." "Thank you, sir," Qin Yushi nodded.
"Old man, bring some snacks over too. This tea is quite astringent; I can't drink it alone," Fang Ye said.
"I haven't hit you with a feather duster yet, only because of your friends. How dare you order your old man around?"
The old man walked away with an old smoking pipe.
Fang Ye yawned and said to Qin Nuo, "You're the Phantom, not quite what I imagined in the real world."
Qin Nuo nodded, "Indeed, it's much better looking than in the Horror Game. In the Horror World, whenever I look in the mirror, that face always makes me feel uneasy."
Fang Ye: "That's different from what I thought."
"The difference between you and the Horror World is... how should I put it, maybe you need some herbal supplements."
Qin Nuo: "..."
Fang Ye brought the conversation back on track, "Did you come to see me because you've thought through that matter from before?"
"I'm not here for the guild, it's about the instance."
Qin Nuo took a sip of tea and found it really astringent and bitter, no wonder it could refresh and wake you up.
"Instance?" Fang Ye looked puzzled.
Qin Nuo explained his idea.
After listening, Fang Ye's gaze towards Qin Yushi changed.
"Team up for an instance? I've never heard of that."
"I tend to believe you two are just trying to fool me with this guess," Fang Ye said, shifting to a more comfortable position to lie down.
Qin Nuo was about to speak when Qin Yushi suddenly asked, "Which guild are you a member of?"
"Ned, do you want to join?"
"Then you should recognize this." Qin Yushi took out an item.
A bronze medal.
Fang Ye's expression changed slightly when he saw the medal.
He looked at Qin Yushi, squinting, "What's your name?"
"You can call me Yushi, his sister," Qin Yushi said calmly.
"Is she really your sister? I feel like there's nothing similar between you two."
Qin Nuo thought to himself, you're quite sharp, you got it right.
He coughed lightly and asked, "So, are you interested?"
"Not interested."
"To put it bluntly, you just want me to do the hard work, right?"
"Sleeping is more comfortable," Fang Ye waved his hand and said indifferently.
Qin Yushi opened her phone and said, "Emperor, a core member of the Ned guild, according to your guild's tasks, your vacation is almost over, and you must participate in an instance."
"It's a good opportunity to try our mechanism. Although it's only a probability, teaming up undoubtedly makes it twice as effective with half the effort, reducing the difficulty significantly."
"My brother approached you, which means your abilities must be impressive."
Qin Nuo raised an eyebrow, not expecting Qin Yushi to actively persuade him.
Fang Ye seemed not to hear, lying down again, covering his face with the palm fan, and waved his hand, "Old man, see the guests out."
Qin Yushi glanced at Qin Nuo and shook her head slightly.
Qin Nuo had no choice but to give up. He was just trying his luck, and since the other party was uninterested, there was nothing more to do.
As they got up to leave, Fang Ye suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute."
Qin Nuo stopped in his tracks.
"Normally, you should be more persistent. I refuse a few times, and then finally agree, right?"
Qin Nuo almost laughed, realizing this guy wanted to play hard to get, so he straightforwardly asked, "In the instance, you're not so roundabout. Can you be more straightforward?"
"I have just one small request."
Fang Ye sat up, his gaze falling on Qin Yushi, "Can you let me join that organization?"
Qin Yushi understood, "So that's your plan."
Fang Ye rubbed his nose, "I applied for that organization's entrance exam before, but I didn't pass. Someone else took the spot through connections."
Qin Yushi spoke calmly, "Unless you can prove your value."
Fang Ye shrugged, "I'll give it a try. I suddenly feel you're right, my vacation is over, and I should indeed complete an instance to report back to the guild."
Qin Yushi didn't say anything, handing a card to Fang Ye, "Come to this place in three days."
Fang Ye looked at the card in his hand, "Why are there two cards?"
"The other one is for that...," Qin Nuo suddenly couldn't remember the name.
"Lan Yan? That guy's not very strong; I can find you a better candidate," Fang Ye said.
"He might not be strong, but at least he's reliable. Let's go with him."
Qin Yushi said, "It's best to give me an answer tonight. The instance matching equipment is being prepared, and the team selection needs to be finalized by tomorrow."
Fang Ye flipped through the cards in his hand and nodded slightly, "Understood."
After Qin Nuo and Qin Yushi left, Fang Ye called out to the old man, who was holding an old phone and smoking a pipe, "Old man, get those things ready. I'm heading out in a few days."
"Finally willing to go out? I thought your body had rusted and couldn't move."
"Didn't have the motivation before."
Fang Ye looked at the card in his hand, "Now I do."
...
Late at night, Qin Yushi, busy in the kitchen, received a phone call. After listening for a moment, she said to Qin Nuo in the living room, "The spots are confirmed."
"Both of your little partners are involved."
Qin Nuo, leaning on the sofa and reading "The Ten Deadly Sins," nodded and asked, "Has the instance time been set?"
"Three days from now, the equipment will be ready and delivered," Qin Yushi said.
After speaking, she paused and continued, "Honestly, if I had a choice, I'd still hope to be matched with you in the same instance."
"Even though I know you probably have a lot of hidden cards, I still hope I can fully protect and assist you in completing the instance."
"Our relationship is fake, I know, but whether you believe it or not, I've always considered you my brother, because you remind me of my original brother..."
At this point, Qin Yushi stopped herself and smiled, "The soup seems to be boiling. Sit tight, dinner will be ready soon."
With that, she returned to the kitchen.
Qin Nuo watched Qin Yushi busy in the kitchen, pondered for a moment, and then returned his gaze to the book.
"The fifth instance, I'm a bit looking forward to it..."
