Zhang Heng didn't care too much about his ranking. His goal was to enter the top 50 from the very beginning. So unlike other players, he only played two rounds of the proxy war quest.
However, the score he obtained in these two games still allowed him to return to the first place on the leaderboard.
As soon as Zhang Heng left the lounge on the second floor of the bar, he received several messages, basically congratulating him. The first one was from Black Swan, and as always, her tone was full of hints.
"Handsome, I opened a bottle of red wine for you at home. Do you want to have a drink?"
The second message was from Rabbit.
"Hahahaha, I really want to see the expression on Eryue Weicheng's face now. Really? You are so strong! You only played two rounds of the proxy war quest, and you have already surpassed everyone?! Also, do you know the origin of Beta, who is ranked below you? He looks very powerful. I can't take it anymore. Just thinking about it makes me happy. Those guys from Arc of Light deserve this. I have to order a midnight snack behind my mother's back and tell Li Bai the good news! "
Considering the previous conflict between the union and Arc of Light, Rabbit's happiness was not without reason. The third message was from Ding Si from Fu Lou, and it was only one sentence.
"Brother, you're amazing. We have a new batch of game items. I will send you the introduction later. See if there's anything you need."
Other than that, there was also a message from Shen Xixi. Her content was much simpler. She just congratulated Zhang Heng, but in the end, she couldn't help but exclaim, "You scored 3,000 points in the first round. How did you manage to achieve a 3.9 GPA at the same time?"
Zhang Heng scrolled forward and found a message from Chen Huadong. He was a little surprised, thinking that Chen Huadong already knew about it. To his surprise, he found out that Chen Huadong only said, "When you pass by the overpass next to the school tomorrow morning, bring me a pancake and a sausage."
After that, Zhang Heng scrolled through the message list until two days ago, but he still couldn't find any information about Meinan. Besides, she didn't appear on the leaderboard either. Although everyone entered their IDs themselves, countless people who had nothing better to do had already searched through the leaderboard.
Except for β, who was extremely mysterious and had not revealed any information, the rest of the people could basically be identified. Mei Nan was not one of them.
Considering the latter's identity as Loki's agent, there was no reason for her not to participate in this proxy war. So now there were two possibilities. First, Meinan did not enter the top 500, which was a little unlikely. Although Meinan's strength was unknown, there was no reason for her to be eliminated in the first round with her superb deception skills. Loki was standing behind her, the first evil god in Norse mythology. Thanks to Marvel, even now, the names of Loki and his brother Thor were still known to everyone.
From this point of view, there was a high possibility that β, who came out of nowhere, was related to Loki. However, if β was Meinan Fan, there was no reason for β not to contact him after the first round of the game.
Zhang Heng recalled the last time he met Meinan Fan. It was almost two months ago, and since then, Meinan Fan had never contacted him. Hence, Zhang Heng was more inclined to believe that Meinan Fan was in trouble now.
Or to be more precise, Meinan Fan had been in trouble since early in the morning. This was why she left home, traveled thousands of miles to live alone in this city, and did not return home even during Chinese New Year.
Because of the incident with the woman in sunglasses, Meinan Fan was still on the three major guilds' wanted list. Hence, she needed to be careful in her daily life. Her whereabouts and whereabouts were a secret. Zhang Heng used to communicate with her on the phone and WeChat. Now that he could not contact her through these two channels, Zhang Heng had no idea how to find Meinan Fan.
Suddenly, Zhang Heng's phone vibrated again, notifying him that he had received a message.
Unlike the previous messages Zhang Heng received, there was nothing in this message, only a location. Zhang Heng looked at the number, but he did not recognize it.
However, after seeing the address, Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows as if he had thought of something.
…
Meinan Fan put on her clothes and walked through the dark corridor outside the door, trying not to disturb those who were sleeping in the corridor. She tiptoed to the stairs. She turned around to make sure that no one had seen her before she slipped down the stairs with ease.
After passing through a small garden and parking lot, Meinan Fan saw the back door, which meant that she was very close to her destination.
So, Meinan Fan pulled down the hood of her coat to cover her face. She walked past the security guard who was on night duty in the duty room, turned a corner, and finally saw the lights of the 24-hour convenience store.
She pushed the door and walked in. It was four o 'clock in the morning, and there was no one else in the convenience store except for a salesperson. Fan Meinan walked around the shelves, first taking a packet of fresh shrimp and fish flavored instant noodles, then grabbed a packet of spicy sticks in her hand. After struggling for half a minute, she sighed and put the spicy sticks back on the shelf. She switched to a bottle of juice and a packet of five-scented fish tofu, walked to the cashier to pay the bill, and asked the cashier to help her fill the instant noodles with hot water.
Fan Meinan brought the instant noodles to the dining corner. While waiting for the instant noodles to cook, she tore open the bag of fish tofu and ate two slices. After that, she opened the lid of the instant noodles box and took a whiff of the aroma inside. She let out a satisfied sigh. She wanted to open the bottle of juice again and eat the instant noodles while drinking, but she didn't expect that the bottle cap wouldn't open after twisting it.
Fan Meinan did not seem to believe it. She took the juice in front of her and tried again, but she still could not open it. At this time, the cashier seemed to have noticed the situation and asked her, "Miss, do you need help?"
"No, I can handle such a small matter." Fan Meinan said almost subconsciously. After that, she wrapped the bottle cap with her clothes and tried for the third time. Unfortunately, the bottle cap still did not move.
Fan Meinan felt a little embarrassed at this time. She found that she really could not open the bottle of juice. But she had just refused the cashier's help, and the latter had already sat back down to play with his phone. Fan Meinan was too embarrassed to ask the cashier to open the bottle cap again.
So she could only put the bottle of juice back on the table. After this incident, Fan Meinan looked at the bowl of instant noodles in front of her and found that she had suddenly lost her appetite. She was surrounded by an unprecedented sense of loss and powerlessness.
She didn't expect that she had already lost so much of her strength that she couldn't even open a bottle of juice. In a few weeks or months, she might not even be able to sneak out and sneak a bowl of instant noodles like this.
Fan Meinan lowered her head, thinking about something.
But the next moment, a pair of hands picked up the glass of juice in front of her, twisted the cap on the bottle, and put it back in front of her.
"How long are you going to hide from me?"
