39. Innocent but Not Foolish

After entering the Game, besides Juzi, the Player Yimo paid the most attention to was Du Lingran.

I basically focused most of my attention on observing him.

Du Lingran observed all the Player very quickly, and his focus was enough to memorize Player nicknames and appearances.

However, one female Player was not within Du Lingran's field of vision; she was merely mentioned briefly.

The female Player didn't seem particularly remarkable; her reactions were even slower than those of the novice Player, and she completely ignored the Player present.

It's as if...

She doesn't need to pay attention to the Player present; someone else will observe for her.

Based on this, Yimo deduced that two seemingly unrelated people might have some kind of connection.

Of course, this is just speculation. The confirmation came on the Third Day at the hospital when Yimo deliberately provoked Du Lingran conversation.

Du Lingran's rather extreme reaction confirmed Yimo.

That female Player must be Du Lingran's pawn hidden in the shadows!

In other words, the trump card.

Yimo Du Lingran was very good at disguising himself, so she was stunned that the seemingly silly Juzi could see through it.

You think the Juzi is pretending to be stupid?

She realized that Du Lingran had a partner, and she should have kept it a secret instead of revealing it.

You tell me, she's really stupid!

But she said it so casually and confidently, something that Yimo needed to verify before she could confirm.

Yimo it, Yimo ultimately decided not to discuss it with Juzi and come to a conclusion, feeling it would be pointless.

Regardless of whether she was genuinely naive or feigning naiveté, Yimo was determined to include Juzi, a highly unpredictable character, in her plans for this Game.

The two walked for about 10 minutes. At the entrance of an Alley, after seeing the first shop, "Que Shi Silverware," Yimo suddenly pointed to a pancake stall about 50 meters across the street, where three or four people were queuing up, and said, "Juzi, I'm a little hungry. Can you go buy me a pancake?"

"Two eggs, one Wangzhongwang (if you don't have Wangzhongwang, then omit the sausage), add a fried dough stick, plenty of chili sauce and sweet bean sauce, no scallions, and if you have pickled vegetables, add more, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Juzi immediately reached out her hand and said, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

"By the way, can I have yours...? Two people sharing one... it really feels like a couple's meal."

She looked at Yimo with great energy and excitement, clutching the hem of her clothes with both hands, her face slightly flushed.

Yimo poked his forehead and said, "Go away, go away, buy it first!"

"By the way, don't cut in line! Be civilized!"

Juzi nodded quickly and happily skipped off to buy pancakes.

Yimo glanced at Juzi's retreating figure and muttered, "Her forehead temperature is normal, quite different from Bai Ye's icy body temperature..."

He shook his head, then surprisingly put on a black Motorcycle helmet, went into the Silverware Shop, and without any politeness, handed the owner a blueprint, saying, "Make me three Cross like this, the size and shape must match the dimensions, and use 999 Silver."

"Hurry up, someone will come to pick it up this afternoon."

The shopkeeper stared at the Motorcycle helmet, then exclaimed, "Ah... young man..."

"Although I can tell you're trying to hide your identity... but that Motorcycle helmet of yours, is Zhenling's...?"

Ah...

Not only the Silverware Shop owner couldn't hold back, even Yimo couldn't hold back anymore...

He certainly wanted to conceal his identity, fearing that if the Silverware Shop owner fell ill, it might affect his plans.

But as the old saying goes, "Even the Wise One person can make a mistake." Yimo all his calculations in this Game, Yimo Zhenling's popularity in Box Town today...

Now that things have come to this, Yimo and is laying her cards on the table!

It was incredibly hot, so I took off my Motorcycle helmet.

"Alright! My girl Zhenling will come to pick it up this afternoon!"

"Recently, there have been illnesses and Dead Man in the town, and everyone is living in fear."

"Get a few Cross, maybe it'll bring you some blessings..."

The boss, a small, middle-aged man with a mustache, beamed upon hearing this and exclaimed, "Oh, young man, things are progressing well! It seems what others said was true; you two are really sweet together!"

"It's... these three... are you... going to cheat on me?"

Yimo deliberately sent Juzi away to get this done, and couldn't afford to waste time with the boss, so she said Zhenling, "My Maaya is careless, make her two, just in case she loses them and gets blamed by the gods."

"Okay, how much is it? I'll pay first. I have something to do and I'm in a hurry!"

When it comes to making money, the boss is quick to act. He gave Yimo a price, which was supposedly a "family and friends price." Although Yimo felt that the price seemed more expensive than the normal price, she didn't hesitate, paid the money directly, and left quickly.

After leaving the store, Yimo originally intended to slip away, but he noticed that while Juzi was buying pancakes, she would turn around almost every few minutes, staring at him as if he were a criminal. The difference was that when she saw Yimo out, her face was noticeably bright with a smile, and she waved, as if to say, "Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."

Yimo that he probably couldn't slip away, Yimo simply sat on the old Stone steps by the roadside and waited for Juzi.

At that moment, I took a closer look at the Juzi.

Honestly, putting aside the Death Game, Juzi's conditions are absolutely top-notch, one in a million.

Rather than being strikingly beautiful, she's more accurately described as cute and very girlish.

Needless to say, her figure is amazing Yimo has never seen anyone in real life who could beat her.

Energetic young women are more likely to attract attention. Their clothing is neither too flashy nor too plain; it's just right, exuding youthful charm.

She's a bit silly, but that's also kind of endearing.

So there's definitely a reason why she can get along so well with various teams.

Yimo just couldn't understand why a girl like this wouldn't have Boyfriend.

After all, Juzi said he was her first Boyfriend.

Was it due to strict family discipline? Or some other reason?

Yimo didn't intend to delve into it, after all, everyone has a past that no one knows about.

But those past experiences weren't necessarily all good.

Among the girls Yimo knew, her former sister Ji Ran had serious personality problems because she was isolated and bullied in Orphanage when she was young, while Xia Yuxi had severe androphobia.

As for Qin Muse and the Village Chief's Little Sister, what did Yimo know about them?

He doesn't want to know anyway.

If this happened outside, and a girl like Juzi were to cling to him like this, he might actually fall for her.

But this is Death Game!

I could die at any moment, it could be fatal!

What makes her so optimistic, always cheerful and a little silly, as if she's solely focused on finding a good partner?

Yimo something is wrong.

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

In the previous Game, Yimo had already experienced the feeling of betrayal, which left a deep impression on him.

Therefore, he is wary of everyone and will not give anyone the opportunity to betray him.

Some even believe that a decent NPC is a thousand times better than Death Game Player.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Juzi Yimo to be terrifyingly powerful.

Otherwise, her current attitude towards the Death Game cannot be explained.

Of course, if Juzi gets wiped out in a couple of days and kicks the bucket, then Yimo said!

That's why Yimo has to be wary of her.

Moreover, there is a possibility that her conditions for victory may differ from our own, so we must be even more vigilant against her.

Yimo and didn't even notice that Juzi had returned. She was looking down and quietly observing him as he pondered.

By the time Yimo noticed, Juzi smiled and handed Yimo Jianbing Guozi) with both hands, "Here you go~"

Because the pancakes were freshly made and still quite hot, the cook would repeatedly turn them over and over in his hands.

Yimo took the Jianbing Guozi, frowned slightly, and said calmly, "Thank you..."

This is from the bottom of my heart.

Upon hearing this, Juzi happily came over and tried to hug Yimo's arm, but Yimo noticed her little move in advance and pushed her away by pressing her forehead.

"Go away, don't try to skimp on the gas..."

Ah...

The passersby were completely stunned when they heard this.

Looking at Yimo and Juzi, I even had the urge to roll up my sleeves and beat Yimo up.

Such a lovely girl wanted to put her arm around your shoulder, and you not only rejected her but also accused her of taking advantage of you?

This is outrageous!

Yimo didn't care about other people's opinions and strolled around the Ancient Town with Juzi.

Juzi was very happy, and as always, like a little bee, she hovered around Yimo, buzzing around.

Yes, her hair color is like a little bee's.

In her words, "My Boyfriend, this block of ice, is finally starting to melt!"

Of course, during this time, her gaze lingered more on the pancakes, seemingly as she had said before, that she wanted to share a pancake with Yimo.

"Go away! There's a contagious disease going around in town right now. It's unhygienic!"

Of course, Yimo rejected him without hesitation.

Although Juzi didn't show any unhappiness, it was clear that she was still a little disappointed.

Silent people are often good at observing others, Yimo was no exception. Noticing Juzi's slight disappointment, she finally sighed and pushed the half-eaten pancake towards her, "Take it, just this once!"

"Thank you, honey!"

Huh?

Such a small favor, and wow, he's gone from Boyfriend to husband in no time?

Yimo was completely exhausted from listening to it...

If Juzi wasn't faking it, then her psychological problems are definitely the biggest I've ever met!

Yimo thought with absolute certainty.

And so, Juzi was happy, Yimo finished her first task. Because she had other things to do, she made an excuse and slipped away.

Juzi happily found a spot, sat down, and finished the half-eaten Jianbing Guozi Chinese crepe) that Yimo had left over. Now even more energetic, she exclaimed, "Yay! I'm going to get on good terms with the other Death Game Player for Sakamoto's sake!"

"Well, it's rare to make progress with Sakamoto. Let's go to Old Hua's place and show off a bit, hehehe..." After saying that, he chuckled foolishly.

Then we went to Old Hua's Villa, pushed open the Courtyard gate, and knocked on the door.

She didn't have the Key to the house, so someone had to open the door for her to get in.

Thump thump thump--thump thump--

"Huh? Is nobody here?"

I knocked on the door, but no one answered, which was a bit strange.

But Juzi was very patient and didn't give up. She knocked on it again and finally...

"Bang--!"

The door suddenly opened, startling Juzi.

Old Hua, dressed in pajamas, was deathly pale, with dark circles under his eyes and bloodshot eyes. He looked as if he were seriously ill, almost devoid of any human warmth. He stared at Juzi like a ghost and said coldly, "Please... come in."

Upon seeing this, Juzi's happy smile vanished instantly. She stared at Old Hua as if he were an enemy, silently took out a mask, put it on, covering her mouth completely, took two steps back, and then pushed it in front of her with both hands in a gesture of refusal. "Ah... haha... I suddenly remembered I have other things to do... so I won't bother you any longer..."

Old Hua: "You're welcome to come back anytime."

Juzi hesitated to agree, "Haha... haha..."

Then he slowly backed away, out of the Courtyard and out of Old Hua's sight, before leaning against the wall, patting his chest, and panting, "Ugh... that was scary..."

"It's over, Old Hua's Team is probably gone..."

"Wow... that was way too fast!"

"No, no, we have to unite the remaining Player!"

"Okay, let's go find Uncle of the Heaven and Earth Alliance now!"

With that, he quickly left.

Yimo's words proved prophetic; the Juzi's reputation as a jinx has been completely confirmed.
