Chapter 410 - 342: Flower Country’s Sorcery 2
The moment the two of them opened the door and saw Wen Ying, they looked both exasperated and annoyed, then slammed it shut with a BANG.
"If you two seniors don’t open up, I’m going to have to break the door down."
After a long pause, the door opened again. A piece of paper was thrust into Wen Ying’s palm, and the door was slammed shut. "Don’t come looking for us if it’s not important. We’ve given you your good review."
Wen Ying looked at the words on the paper as she left the third floor and returned to the basement.
Perhaps because her reputation was growing, no one dared to sneak into her dorm room anymore.
And the room next to her dorm was also empty.
After Wen Ying returned to her room, an unexpected visitor came knocking. "Doctor Wen, what clues did you get on the third floor?"
"I made it out of the third floor. Are you going to keep your end of the bargain?" Wen Ying retorted.
"The head nurse and the hospital director have an unusual relationship, but we’ve never seen the director. Also, there seems to be another space within this building. If we can get into that space, our progress bar will likely shoot up! That’s my sincerity. Now it’s your turn, isn’t it, Doctor Wen?"
He fell silent after that.
"I already know everything you just told me. Your ’sincerity’ is useless to me."
"You!"
Seeing that this Huaguo woman didn’t seem to be lying, he thought, ’You’re not trying to trick me?’
Wen Ying just looked at him without saying a word.
"There’s a man-eating monster on the third floor. That’s why none of our people who go there ever come back. But the clues always point toward that monster. Telling you this is the greatest sincerity I can offer."
Wen Ying knew he was talking about the little girl.
"You couldn’t handle it yourself either?" Smith asked, then let out a bitter laugh.
"I went once and lost a life. That monster is too powerful. If I hadn’t had an item to save my life, I would have been a goner right there."
"You’re from Flower Country. You Huaguo people value integrity the most. I’m willing to trust you."
Wen Ying smiled. "Perhaps it’s better not to be so trusting. In a place like this, you can only rely on yourself to survive. You trust me? I don’t trust anyone."
Smith gave an awkward laugh.
’Why isn’t this Huaguo woman as simple-minded and gullible as the legends say?’
’Aren’t you just supposed to mention their country, say you trust their country, and these Huaguo people will treat you like a friend?’
"So, about our cooperation?"
"I prefer to work alone."
So decisively rejected by Wen Ying, Smith’s expression soured.
He’d already swallowed his pride, yet this Huaguo woman still refused to yield.
"Doctor Wen, from what I know, you’ve been here for less than a week, right? I’ve been here for over a month. I know more people than you, and everyone has different experiences and knows different things. Do you really think losing me as a partner is a good thing?"
Smith paused. "Or have you already found the key to entering that other space?"
Wen Ying’s expression didn’t change as she smiled at him.
"You really have found it!"
The moment he said this, Smith’s entire demeanor changed.
And just then, about five or six people appeared outside the door.
They surrounded the entrance to Wen Ying’s dorm room.
"The ones who died in front of you before were just useless trash. Did you think that was all I had?"
Wen Ying’s expression remained completely unfazed.
"Smith, I feel I should remind you that your actions right now are being watched by millions of people."
Smith didn’t understand what Wen Ying meant. He only heard her continue, "Have you ever heard of a livestream?"
Of course Smith knew what a livestream was, but how could there possibly be a livestream here?
’What does this Huaguo woman mean by bringing up a livestream?’
’Could she have gotten some kind of item that lets her livestream?’
’That would be insane!’
’If that’s the case, we could stay in contact with our country at any time!’
Smith’s eyes began to burn with fervor. He stared at Wen Ying like a dog staring at a meaty bone.
"I’m livestreaming right now, and in my stream..."
At that moment, Wen Ying realized she hadn’t checked her viewer count in a long time.
[LMAO! Don’t tell me Doctor Wen is only just now remembering us? She thinks there are millions in the stream, but it’s already in the tens of millions!]
[Tens of millions? More like hundreds of millions! I heard some tech influencers analyze it. Doctor Wen’s stream is basically everywhere now. I think it’s at least a hundred million! And it looks like people in other countries can see it too, so it might be several hundred million, right?]
[So how do we remind Doctor Wen to stop saying ’millions’ every time? She’s a streamer with a viewer count in the hundreds of millions now!]
Smith watched Wen Ying, confused. He saw her glance at the wall to her side, then turn back to him and say, "My apologies. It seems I made a mistake."
