Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 75

Chapter 75: Transit Island

Xu Chu was not surprised by this answer. After all, Shi Jun’s ability was there. Even if the other party couldn’t use the various binding items on her main account for the time being, but with her experience in clearing instances, plus the various techniques she had learned and never forgotten, and could use well through the power of her soul even after changing her body, Xu Chu believed that Shi Jun could quickly return to S-rank.

Now, hadn’t she already reached A-rank?

Xu Chu nodded, her expression calm.

“Then are you still going to go through the instance with Jiang Yu next?”

Shi Jun didn’t hesitate and nodded. “Of course.”

Xu Chu paused for a moment. “But the gap between your two’s levels will get bigger and bigger. If this continues… if one day you team up with her, then if the captain is on you, and you enter an S-rank instance, I’m afraid Jiang Yu won’t be able to succeed…”

Xu Chu’s words stopped.

“But if the captain is on Jiang Yu, and the two of you are placed in a low-level instance, then it will also affect your point acquisition.”

Shi Jun looked up at her. “So what if we enter an S-rank instance together?” She smiled faintly. “Are you not confident in my ability?”

Xu Chu sighed helplessly. “It’s not that I’m not confident in you, but S-rank instances are very variable and complex. Zhong Yu’s account doesn’t have all kinds of items. If something really happens, I’m afraid you won’t have time to react.”

Although this was the World of Strength, and strength spoke, but strength must also include the items that everyone had exchanged for with points. This was inseparable.

Unless they entered an instance where items could not be used.

But once an instance allowed the use of items, then clearing it with the help of items would become a necessity. This was an inseparable part of the instances in the World of an instance.

Everyone had to admit it.

Xu Chu was just worried.

“Besides, are you sure Jiang Yu wants to jump to S-rank with you?”

Shi Jun’s movements stopped, and her eyes landed on Xu Chu.

Xu Chu’s heart was a little weak, but she still insisted on her own statement.

“Jiang Yu is a newcomer with her own opinions and views. She won’t be dizzy just because she joined Wang Meng or got your protection. If you can’t give a sufficient reason to convince her, I think she probably won’t be willing.”

Shi Jun slowly lowered her gaze.

She knew that what Xu Chu had said was right.

Xu Chu had always been very accurate in judging people. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have firmly followed Shi Jun and helped her to make Wang Meng bigger.

And now, although she hadn’t spent much time with Jiang Yu, she had already been able to analyze a few points about her.

Shi Jun thought for a moment.

“I will explain the benefits of skipping levels to her. Jiang Yu has a wish she wants to fulfill. I don’t think she will refuse such a thing.”

Xu Chu raised an eyebrow slightly and didn’t continue to persuade her.

Anyway, no matter what, it was just a matter between the two of them. Xu Chu wouldn’t interfere.

Xu Chu said another topic, “The little girl from before… we still haven’t found her. Do you want to think of some other ways to investigate?”

Although she said so, Xu Chu actually couldn’t think of any other ways.

After all, she had already used all the methods she could.

Shi Jun shook her head slightly. “There’s no hurry.”

She looked up. “By the way, have you finished the shielding device I asked you to research?”

Xu Chu: “It’s still a little short.”

Shi Jun hummed. “Before the shielding device is ready, don’t be in a hurry.”

Xu Chu nodded.

The World of Strength and the system were on the same side. There was no doubt about this.

The Transit Island they were on now also belonged to the World of Strength.

Then, would their every word and action on the Transit Island be monitored by the forces behind the World of Strength, or rather, the system?

If they did something to disrupt the peace of the World of Strength, would it trigger a series of measures from the other party?

Even Shi Jun hadn’t been able to find out.

After all, she couldn’t really use what she wanted to do to test it. She could only use a smokescreen to test it. But the smokescreen she had released before, the system behind it had no reaction at all.

Logically, she could be at ease, but because the matter Shi Jun wanted to do was very important, and it absolutely could not be leaked, let alone be intercepted by the system, therefore, she was still keeping it a secret for the time being. Only a few people around her knew.

After Xu Chu had finished the shielding device, she would try to reveal it to more people.

Shi Jun lay back in the nutrient fluid. “Alright, it’s nothing serious. You can go back.”

Xu Chu nodded.

Before Xu Chu left, Shi Jun called out to her.

“Remember… to protect Jiang Yu.”

Xu Chu smiled helplessly and with relief. “I know. Don’t worry. What can happen on the Transit Island?”

Jiang Yu rested in her room for a day, and went downstairs the next day.

She ran into the resident user of the living room & kitchen, Qiao Zhishan, and was warmly hugged and greeted by the other party.

“Jiang Jiang, what level are you at?”

Jiang Yu said, “B-20%.”

Qiao Zhishan: “Hmm, I remember you were still C-rank before, right?”

Jiang Yu nodded.

Qiao Zhishan praised her, “That’s great. You’re already B-rank so quickly. In two or three more instances, I believe you can reach A-rank.”

Jiang Yu was not proud. “It’s probably also because the difficulty of this instance was B-rank, so after clearing it, it gave me a lot of experience.”

Qiao Zhishan was unconcerned. “But even so, the fact that you can clear it means that you’re also great.”

Jiang Yu’s movements paused for a moment, and she lowered her eyes, a rare bitter smile on her face.

“No, I was also… being protected by Zhong Yu.”

Qiao Zhishan rested her cheek on her hand. “Hmm, you don’t like it? Or is it that you hate being protected by Xiao Yuyu?”

Jiang Yu shook her head. “No, I don’t hate it. I just feel that I have a suspicion of cheating by clearing the instance like this.”

Qiao Zhishan pinched the flesh on her cheek and “tsked.” “If I were to say, Jiang Jiang, you’re still too… hmm, too polite.”

Jiang Yu was a little surprised. “Ah?”

Not really…

Qiao Zhishan: “If other people knew that they could hug a big thigh and pass without pain, they would have long since been pestering the top player, trying to get a free pass. But you, Jiang Jiang, you don’t seem to want to?”

“I feel that you seem to want to pass through your own efforts more.”

Jiang Yu: “Isn’t that very normal?”

She looked up, her eyes clear and confused. “If you rely on others’ efforts to pass, one instance is fine, but can you do this from a newcomer to S-rank?”

“To take a step back, even if the instance mechanism allows it, then what if the top player you’re hugging is not willing anymore? What if she takes back her thigh? Then what will that person do? He has no ability to protect himself. Without the thigh, he can only wait to die.”

Qiao Zhishan was silent for a moment. “Hmm, that’s true, but… if you can live a little longer without pain, you would still choose to be painless. If you live for ten years without any worry, fear, or pain, and live for thirty years in pain, confusion, and fear, which one would you choose, Jiang Jiang?”

Jiang Yu took a cup of water and moistened her lips.

She looked up. “There can be a third option.”

Jiang Yu’s lips curved slightly. “To become strong through my own efforts, even if the pace is a little slower. That way, I can live for thirty years in peace.”

Qiao Zhishan looked at her in a daze, and then chuckled softly. “Oh, Jiang Jiang, you’re so amazing.”

Jiang Yu’s eyes curved. “Not really. I might just be talking big now. It’s just that I’m not at ease with putting my life in someone else’s hands. To have my life and safety depend on someone else’s whim… that’s too insecure.”

Qiao Zhishan nodded. “That’s true.”

Xu Chu, who was standing outside the kitchen, heard Jiang Yu’s thoughts and couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of her nose.

As an outsider, regardless of whether Jiang Yu could really achieve what she had said, but at least this thought was worthy of Xu Chu’s respect.

But…

As Shi Jun’s companion, then Jiang Yu’s thought was very troublesome.

Shi Jun was probably the type who wanted to control Jiang Yu’s life and safety, and protect her under her wings, and not let her run out.

This is difficult.

When the two of them came out of the kitchen, they ran into Xu Chu. Qiao Zhishan was startled.

“Chu Chu, what are you doing here?”

Xu Chu glanced at Jiang Yu. “I came out to eat something. By the way, Jiang Yu.”

Jiang Yu looked up.

Xu Chu: “Do you want to skip levels?”

Jiang Yu was a little confused. “Skip levels?”

Xu Chu nodded, and then simply explained.

Jiang Yu understood. She had heard a similar statement before.

Clearing an instance that was higher than your own level would also give you a great reward. Sometimes, the reward that a C-rank person got for being last in an A-rank instance might even be more than the reward for being first in a C-rank instance.

Great benefits would expand a person’s courage.

So, many people would try to get a free ride from high-level top players.

But on the other hand, benefits and crises coexisted. A person without strong self-protection ability, even if they got a free ride, might not be able to pass.

So, the death rate of this matter was also very high.

Jiang Yu said, “I haven’t thought about it for the time being.”

Xu Chu was not an exception, but there were some things she had to ask for Shi Jun in advance.

“But Zhong Yu is already A-rank. You… are you still at B-rank?”

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, but she was not so surprised soon.

If it was Zhong Yu, then she felt that it was very normal.

Jiang Yu understood what Xu Chu wanted to say, so she thought for a moment. “Then we don’t have to go through the instance together?”

Jiang Yu’s thought was very simple.

When the two of them were of similar levels, they could cooperate and help each other through the instance, although it was Zhong Yu who helped her more.

And when the gap between their levels widened, it was no longer suitable for them to enter the instance together. Then… it was fine to separate.

After Jiang Yu had also worked hard to level up, they could still do missions together.

Jiang Yu was not too confused or hesitant about this matter. So, in the face of Xu Chu’s question, she very naturally gave her own answer.

Qiao Zhishan blinked. Although she knew that what Jiang Yu had said was correct, but…

She probably also understood what her own leader wanted to do, so the matter of separating and going through the instance was absolutely impossible, right?

As expected, Xu Chu rubbed her temples with difficulty. “I think… it’s very difficult.”
