Welcome to the World of the Strong [Unlimited Flow] 85

Chapter 85: Transit Island

Seeing that Jiang Yu hadn’t spoken for a long time, Qiao Zhishan knew that she had been hit hard.

After all, when Qiao Zhishan herself had first learned of this news, she had also been dejected for several days. Now, she was all too familiar with Jiang Yu’s state.

Qiao Zhishan patted Jiang Yu’s shoulder and comforted her, “Actually, things are not as bad as you think. A few hundred thousand points… if you save up, maybe it will be very soon…”

Okay, Qiao Zhishan couldn’t say the rest. Her conscience was hurting.

But if you were to talk about exceptions, they had an exception in Wang Meng.

Qiao Zhishan used Shi Jun as an example. “Look, the leader is a successful example. I can guarantee that her points are definitely enough, at least enough to buy a wish ticket. So, if she can save up three hundred thousand, let alone the subsequent points, right? You have to work hard, you can do it.”

In fact, Shi Jun’s savings were definitely much more than three hundred thousand. After all, today at the auction, she had spent five hundred thousand without even blinking.

But whether Shi Jun had fulfilled her wish or not, no one knew.

Jiang Yu came to her senses, took a breath, and suppressed all the emotions from before.

“I’m fine.”

She was just a little shocked.

And also… a little emotional.

Jiang Yu didn’t know if, after many years, she could still be so firm in her original wish, or if she would be like the others, become muddle-headed, and even get tired of this place.

But at least for now, she was very firm.

Jiang Yu actually wanted to ask about Qiao Zhishan’s wish, but she also knew that this was the other party’s privacy, so she didn’t probe too much.

But this matter had also sounded a warning bell for her, making Jiang Yu understand that in the World of Strength, there was no such thing as a once-and-for-all solution. It was even more of a daydream to fulfill a wish by just lying down.

She had to speed up her pace so as not to be left behind.

“After reaching S-rank, is it relatively easy to get points?”

Qiao Zhishan thought for a moment, and then nodded.

“You could say that. After all, points are linked to difficulty. I think you’ve also experienced it. The points you get for clearing a D-rank instance and an S-rank instance are very different. Plus the bonus points from the Wang Meng organization, it’s still very considerable after one instance.”

Jiang Yu nodded, her gaze lowered in thought.

Qiao Zhishan: “But this is like saving money. You can’t just save money and not spend it, right? So, it’s the same for points.”

The example she gave was vivid and illustrative, and Jiang Yu’s lips curved in a smile.

“I understand.”

Qiao Zhishan sat down on the sofa.

“It’s not really to comfort you, but… think about it. Everyone in the World of Strength is surviving and struggling here. Everyone is the same.”

“It seems that everyone has their own level, but in fact, in the World of Strength, everyone is the same. Everyone is a survivor.”

Under the system, they were all miserable workers.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips.

Qiao Zhishan: “So don’t be too sad.”

Jiang Yu’s eyes curved slightly, grateful for her kindness.

….

Because she hadn’t seen Zhong Yu for a long time, Jiang Yu had almost forgotten to count the time. So much so that when she saw Zhong Yu once, Jiang Yu suddenly realized… had a long time passed without her knowing?

After all, she knew that Zhong Yu needed to recuperate, so Jiang Yu had never disturbed her. Gradually, she had forgotten about the time. At this time, to suddenly run into Zhong Yu, her surprise was greater than her joy.

Jiang Yu asked about Zhong Yu’s physical condition. “How are you feeling? Have you fully recovered?”

At this moment, Shi Jun was wearing Zhong Yu’s shell and nodded.

“I’m almost there.”

On the one hand, she had to confirm her physical condition. On the other hand, she had to use Zhong Yu’s identity to communicate more with Jiang Yu. At the same time, she also had to do some work to make Jiang Yu cast aside some of her scruples.

To put it simply, Shi Jun’s identity could be more unrestrained, for example, collecting interest and so on, but in the end, it was still a little not beautiful.

If Shi Jun just wanted to get Jiang Yu’s body, then she had many ways.

But the problem was that Shi Jun was not simply satisfied with this. Therefore, she had to think of more ways, for example, to attack her heart.

And at this time, the benefits of Zhong Yu’s identity were shown.

It was obvious that compared to Shi Jun, Jiang Yu was closer to Zhong Yu.

Shi Jun asked, “Do you want to come to my room and sit for a while?”

Of course, Jiang Yu didn’t refuse.

Jiang Yu simply asked about Zhong Yu’s physical condition with concern.

And Shi Jun, without revealing her own situation, answered Jiang Yu’s questions, and then, in return, asked about what had happened to Jiang Yu during this time.

Hearing Zhong Yu’s question, Jiang Yu paused for a moment, and couldn’t help but think of Shi Jun, and what the other party had done.

She frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Shi Jun asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yu pinched the bridge of her nose, and then asked Zhong Yu in a low voice, “What do you feel about Shi Jun now?”

Shi Jun’s expression paused for a barely perceptible moment, and then the corner of her lips hooked up, but soon, she returned to her usual expression.

She had finally waited for Jiang Yu’s question.

Last time, Shi Jun had answered wrong, which had caused her to have to be concerned about Zhong Yu all the time when she was trying to do something with her identity as Shi Jun. It was like shooting herself in the foot.

This time, Shi Jun wouldn’t answer wrong.

She put on a thoughtful look, and then smiled faintly. “It’s just a very normal feeling.”

Jiang Yu was a little confused.

Shi Jun’s lips curved, and then she said, “My relationship with Shi Jun… is actually just a temporary companionship. That’s all.”

“…”

Jiang Yu was about to say something but stopped.

She always felt that the answer Zhong Yu had given her this time seemed to be different from the last time, but she couldn’t say specifically.

She just vaguely remembered that last time, when she had asked a similar question, Zhong Yu had seemed to still like Shi Jun very much?

Could it be that during this time, Zhong Yu’s feelings for Shi Jun had changed?

It wasn’t that it was incomprehensible. Such changes could happen in the real world, let alone the World of Strength.

Jiang Yu just asked, “Then you don’t have the same kind of liking for Shi Jun as you did at the beginning?”

Shi Jun said with great certainty, “No. I never did from the beginning.”

“…”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, and in the end, she couldn’t ask anything more.

She just felt a little headache. It was probably a mistake for her to have asked this question.

Shi Jun looked at her, her tone a little persuasive. “Actually, I think you have some misunderstanding about my relationship with Shi Jun.”

Jiang Yu looked up at her.

A faint smile was on Shi Jun’s lips. “Shi Jun and I… rather than being lovers, it’s better to say that the two of us are more like the same kind.”

“Both of us have misunderstood the feeling we have for each other. We mistook the feeling of being the same kind for liking, so we got together at the beginning, but in fact, that was wrong.”

“Between the same kind, there will probably only be… hmm, a sense of mutual appreciation? Mutual admiration? But there is indeed no further ambiguous feeling.”

A smile was on Shi Jun’s lips.

“I once misunderstood my own feelings, so I thought I liked Shi Jun, but in fact, I didn’t.”

Jiang Yu’s eyebrows twitched, and she understood what Zhong Yu meant.

Regarding what Zhong Yu had said, that she and Shi Jun were of the same kind, it was understandable.

Although she had never entered an instance with Shi Jun, but when Jiang Yu was acting with Zhong Yu, sometimes she could clearly feel a looming sense of danger in the other party’s body, which was a feeling that was out of place with the other newcomers.

Jiang Yu had once thought about what that feeling was similar to, but now she had figured it out.

It was similar to Shi Jun.

Jiang Yu’s fingertips moved. “Then you to her…”

Shi Jun said, “My feeling for Shi Jun is the same as her feeling for me. There were some illusions that arose from a misunderstanding before, but now the two of us have seen through it.”

“So I think the two of us are now more like… companions?”

Jiang Yu looked away, nodded slightly, and didn’t ask any more questions.

She didn’t know what she was thinking now, but in any case, Zhong Yu herself was not sad, so that was the best.

And the matter of the clothes…

Jiang Yu didn’t intend to hide it from Zhong Yu. Besides, she didn’t intend to wear that dress.

On the one hand, it was because of Zhong Yu. On the other hand, it was indeed inconvenient to wear a cheongsam.

After hearing Jiang Yu’s explanation, Shi Jun’s heart was of course calm, but she still had to put on a show.

She was a little surprised, and then her eyes curved. “Since she gave it to you, then you should just take it.”

Jiang Yu said, “You… aren’t you angry?”

Shi Jun: “Why should I be angry?”

She walked to Jiang Yu’s side, her hand on her shoulder, a smile on her face.

“Jiang Yu, you have a misunderstanding about my relationship with Shi Jun, and also a misunderstanding about this kind of relationship in the World of Strength.”

Perhaps.

Jiang Yu thought.

It’s that her thinking hasn’t changed.

But more than that, Jiang Yu was relieved because of Zhong Yu’s open-minded attitude.

But at the same time, what came up was a sense of disgust for herself.

Jiang Yu had once eaten melons on the internet and had seen that kind of three-best-friends person. On the surface, she pretended to be a white lotus, as if she had done nothing, was not proactive, and was not willing, but in fact, she had done everything.

At this moment, Jiang Yu felt as if she were that kind of person.

She unconsciously bit her lower lip, and only when she felt the touch of others on her lips did she come to her senses.

Zhong Yu’s fingers touched her lips, preventing Jiang Yu from biting herself.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment and slightly loosened her lips.

Shi Jun’s eyes darkened, and she restrained the thought of wanting to reach in.

Then, her eyes curved, and she put on a gentle and considerate look and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Yu’s brow twitched slightly. After a moment’s hesitation, she told her her thoughts and feelings.

She wanted to handle this relationship well, and at the same time, she didn’t want to plant any bombs in her and Zhong Yu’s companionship. Therefore, Jiang Yu wanted to pick these things out and put them on the table.

She didn’t know if this approach was appropriate, but Jiang Yu couldn’t think of anything else.

She only knew that if she insisted on hiding it, it might hurt her and Zhong Yu’s feelings even more.

After hearing this, Shi Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile in her eyes.

“Just because of this?”

Jiang Yu nodded.

Shi Jun said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter at all.”

“…”

Jiang Yu looked at her.

Shi Jun said, “Didn’t I say it before? There is no such ambiguous feeling between me and Shi Jun. So, whether she has any feelings for you, or you have any feelings for her, I won’t be angry.”

Jiang Yu pursed her lips.

Shi Jun continued, “So, if you two really have something, you don’t have to care about me at all.”

She smiled, her eyes curving, and she had originally wanted to add a sentence.

That was…

Actually, if it were her, she would also like Jiang Yu very much.

However, considering that if Zhong Yu’s identity were to be revealed now, it would scare Jiang Yu, and might even arouse the other party’s suspicion, so Shi Jun didn’t say it.

Just one or two more instances.

After Zhong Yu and Jiang Yu’s relationship deepened, Zhong Yu could justifiably fall in love, and Shi Jun could also truly have it both ways.

Thinking of what would happen in the future, she smiled, her eyes curving.
