Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 84

Chapter 84: Transit Island

The moment she felt Shi Jun’s approach and the touch on her lips, Jiang Yu’s eyes widened in what could almost be called astonishment.

Because she had never thought that Shi Jun would do such a thing.

It wasn’t… that she thought Shi Jun had no desire or didn’t dare to do anything to her. It was that Jiang Yu had never imagined it in this way.

Perhaps in her heart, she always had a filter of a strong person and a leader for Shi Jun. So, for something like a “sudden attack,” the other party should have been disdainful.

But now Jiang Yu knew that it wasn’t disdain, but that it just wasn’t the right time.

The fragrance between her nose was very clear and alluring, and the touch on her lips was warm and soft. All of this was reminding Jiang Yu of an undeniable fact.

She had indeed… been kissed by Shi Jun.

In the Wang Meng parking garage.

Just as she had gotten out of the car.

There was no time to resist and no opportunity to notice.

After that moment of astonishment, Jiang Yu subconsciously wanted to retreat, but it was at this moment that she realized that she couldn’t move.

…Was it Shi Jun’s ability?

But weren’t players not allowed to… on the Transit Island?

Shi Jun’s movements were very light and fast, and she didn’t do anything more excessive. Before Jiang Yu could get angry, she had already retreated and left.

A thick smile was on her lips, and she looked very happy.

Because of the two of them’s actions just now, the lipstick on Shi Jun’s lips was a little blurry, as if it was a sign of what had happened.

Shi Jun raised her finger slightly and released the restraint she had placed on Jiang Yu just now.

After Jiang Yu realized that she could move, she immediately took a step back and pursed her lips.

“You…”

She wanted to say something, but she felt that it was all pale and powerless.

The matter had already happened.

Besides, according to Jiang Yu’s strength, even if Shi Jun wanted to do it again, could she refuse?

Jiang Yu’s heart was heavy.

She had never thought that things would develop like this.

Just a moment ago, she had been playing the role of a good employee who was trying to comfort her boss, and she had hoped to give Shi Jun some hints by constantly hinting at her identity as an employee and a member of the organization, so that the other party’s mentality towards her would not be so ambiguous.

But Jiang Yu had never expected that Shi Jun would attack so directly.

If she said she hated it… she didn’t hate it or feel disgusted.

Although Jiang Yu had said that she didn’t like the same sex, but if she was approached by a beautiful person, then no one could possibly feel disgusted, right? Especially since, to be fair, Shi Jun was indeed very beautiful.

But the premise was the other party’s identity!

Jiang Yu pressed her lips together tightly.

Shi Jun’s eyes curved. She could imagine the anger in Jiang Yu’s heart, but at this moment, her mood was very good.

Although the contact was very light, and she couldn’t go any further, it had indeed eliminated all of Shi Jun’s previous obscure emotions.

She looked at Jiang Yu, and then said softly, “Are you angry?”

Jiang Yu’s fingertips moved, and she took a deep breath. “What does this mean?”

Shi Jun smiled, with a hint of innocence. “Didn’t I say it before? Interest.”

Jiang Yu’s eyebrows twitched, and she almost questioned her, but at the last moment, she still composed herself and just asked back calmly, “Your interest is this?”

Shi Jun nodded.

She touched her lips with her fingertips, dyeing her fingertips a hint of red, but she didn’t care at all.

“I am a ‘merchant’ who pays attention to benefits.” Shi Jun said with a smile, “So Jiang Yu, do you think I can give you everything for free?”

“…”

Jiang Yu was suddenly pulled out of her previous emotions and was forced to be calm.

Of course she knew that Shi Jun couldn’t be a good person in the true sense.

The reason why she had no scruples was because Jiang Yu had arbitrarily added a leader’s persona to Shi Jun in her heart.

So, she had thought that Shi Jun wouldn’t attack her.

But this kind of thought was originally too self-centered and absurd. Why wouldn’t Shi Jun attack?

Jiang Yu closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

Now, to question these things was undoubtedly useless. Since she had accepted the benefits she had gotten from Shi Jun, she had to think about and also accept the “consequences” that came with it.

Because all of this was her own choice.

Only now did she feel astonished. If she said it out loud, probably no one would believe it. They would only think that she was playing hard to get.

If Jiang Yu really wanted to be innocent, she could have just not accepted anything and left.

All the emotions in Jiang Yu’s heart that had been burning with anger just now slowly receded, and returned to a warm and cool temperature.

In a few breaths, she had already adjusted her emotions.

Shi Jun looked at Jiang Yu and took in her change. The smile on her lips couldn’t help but deepen.

Although she already had an understanding of Jiang Yu’s personality, but now, to see such a change so directly and at such a close distance still made Shi Jun feel happy and… a kind of almost trembling excitement.

She wanted to hold all of Jiang Yu’s emotional changes in her palm.

Shi Jun’s eyes deepened slightly.

Jiang Yu had already calmed down.

“…I see.”

Then, she looked up at Shi Jun. “Then what about Zhong Yu? How do you see her?”

At this moment, Jiang Yu was just purely a little curious.

“And does Zhong Yu know about these… thoughts of yours?”

Shi Jun’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and she came to life.

The topic of Zhong Yu was something that the two of them couldn’t skip, and it was also a topic that Shi Jun had to solve. Now that Jiang Yu had taken the initiative to bring it up, Shi Jun naturally responded directly.

“Zhong Yu and I… to put it simply, we’re just getting what we need.” Shi Jun smiled, her eyes curving, and she considered her words in her heart.

She had to make Jiang Yu have no scruples. But at the same time, she could still be friends with “Zhong Yu.” This way, she could have it both ways.

“Zhong Yu is also very clear about this. There is no romantic relationship between the two of us. It’s just a period of companionship, that’s all.”

At this, Shi Jun herself was actually a little awkward in her heart.

After all, both of them were herself.

But Jiang Yu didn’t know, and at this time, Shi Jun didn’t plan to tell her the truth first, so she could only slowly round out the lie she had told before.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu’s expression didn’t change much. She just lowered her gaze and said after a moment, “I see.”

Jiang Yu returned to Wang Meng. When she was in the living room, she ran into Qiao Zhishan.

Speaking of which, Qiao Zhishan seemed to be very idle every day. Jiang Yu always felt that the other party was like she was on vacation in the World of Strength.

However, she also knew that no matter who it was here, it was impossible to be truly relaxed.

Behind the relaxed surface, a lot must have been paid.

Looking at Jiang Yu’s new outfit, Qiao Zhishan was a little surprised, but she knew who had helped Jiang Yu, so she didn’t ask any stupid questions. She just said, “You went out with the leader today? Where did you go?”

Jiang Yu came to her senses and didn’t bring out her emotions. She just said, “The auction house.”

Qiao Zhishan nodded in understanding. “It’s a good place, but generally only rich people go there. For someone like me who is so stingy, it’s better to forget it.”

After Qiao Zhishan’s banter, Jiang Yu’s emotions recovered a little.

She asked Qiao Zhishan with some curiosity, “Do you have very few points?”

Qiao Zhishan smiled. “It’s not that I have few, but I have to save points to fulfill my wish.”

Jiang Yu was suddenly enlightened. “That’s true.”

She hesitated for a moment, and still asked, “Can I ask… how many points do you need to fulfill a wish?”

Qiao Zhishan had no intention of hiding it. She just said, “As far as I know, it should depend on each person’s wish, and the points required are also different, right?”

“For example, if your wish is to become a millionaire, then of course it’s very simple. But if your wish is to unify the earth, of course the king of the world or something… I’m afraid it can’t be solved without several million points.”

Jiang Yu lowered her gaze. “What if… you want someone to be resurrected?”

Qiao Zhishan’s gaze moved, but she didn’t continue to ask. She just answered the question, “There should be a similar wish. For resurrection, I remember that one person is one hundred thousand, but there is another attached condition.”

Jiang Yu’s brow twitched. “What is it?”

Qiao Zhishan: “It’s… hmm, the completeness of the resurrection?”

Qiao Zhishan’s expression was hard to describe. “I don’t think I need to say it for you to understand. The system store is a very cunning existence. For example, if you just want to resurrect the body, then one hundred thousand is enough to solve it. But the resurrected person can only exist in a vegetative state…”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, and her heart sank.

Although her heart was a little cold, but she was not very shocked. It was probably because she no longer had much hope for the system.

That’s right. After all, this was not a facility that was kind and helpful.

But even so, the one hundred thousand points also made Jiang Yu feel a little hopeless.

To be able to take out five hundred thousand at Shi Jun’s level, then what about her? When could she reach it?

Or rather, could she still reach it?

At this time, Qiao Zhishan couldn’t help but add, “Well… this is actually not the full cost.”

Jiang Yu looked up.

Qiao Zhishan gently scratched her cheek. “Because you’re one of us, so I’ll just say it directly.”

“To fulfill a wish, there is actually a process, or rather, a passing line that must be reached.”

“First of all, you must reach S-rank.”

Jiang Yu had a rough guess in her heart, and this condition was also within her ability to complete.

After all, if she wanted to reach the end and get more points, she had to face the challenge of S-rank. So, Jiang Yu was still prepared for this.

“Secondly, after reaching S-rank, everyone will open their own private store.”

A private store.

Jiang Yu’s brow moved. This was the second time she had heard this term. The last time was at the auction.

But Jiang Yu didn’t have this thing.

But combined with the level of the people present at that time, Jiang Yu could roughly guess that after reaching S-rank, she could also open this private store. It was just that she didn’t know what was inside.

But it must be something secret?

And the things that everyone opened should not be the same.

Otherwise, the announcer would not have specifically mentioned that the exploration ticket could be used to check other people’s private store.

And after that, Qiao Zhishan’s explanation further confirmed Jiang Yu’s previous guess.

“Most of the things in the private store are some items, but the usage of the items is different. It may be an item used to make something, or it may be an item used to clear the instance, and so on. But everyone’s private store will definitely have the same thing.”

“A wish ticket.”

Jiang Yu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No wonder she hadn’t found any items or things related to fulfilling a wish before. Now it seemed that her threshold had not been reached.

But then, Jiang Yu thought of another matter…

Since the wish ticket was placed in the private store, the store…

Jiang Yu had an ominous premonition in her heart.

As expected, Qiao Zhishan then said heavily, “But the things in the private store also all need to be bought with points. And the wish ticket is the most expensive.”

Jiang Yu looked up at her.

Qiao Zhishan: “The price of the wish ticket is three hundred thousand.”

Jiang Yu clenched her fingers, her fingertips pinching her palm.

“In other words, if you want to fulfill a wish, you first have to spend three hundred thousand to buy a wish ticket. But this is not the end, because the wish ticket only represents that you have the right to make a wish, but you don’t have the ability to fulfill the wish. If you want to continue to fulfill the wish on the wish ticket, you have to continue to spend points… this whole set is almost a sky-high price.”

At this, a hint of loneliness and fatigue appeared on Qiao Zhishan’s face.

“In all these years, I’ve rarely seen anyone fulfill their wish. Besides…”

Qiao Zhishan lowered her gaze. “Even if you fulfill your wish, you may not be able to get out. After staying in the World of Strength for so long, people have long since changed. Maybe some people can stick to their wishes as always, but there are also people who have had enough and want to get out.”

“But.”

“The wish on the wish ticket was set long ago.”

Jiang Yu’s eyes were dazed, and a scene from a long time ago flashed through her mind.

The line of words that had appeared on the phone screen.

【What is the wish you most want to fulfill?】
