It took Shen Xixi less than ten minutes to arrange everything. The crew-cut man apparently had no interest in getting to know Zhang Heng, his temporary teammate. After arranging a meeting time that night, he left in a hurry with his men. Rabbit then nudged Li Bai, and the two left together.
When only the two of them were left in the cubicle, Shen Xixi said as she tidied up the projector.
"It's a great help that you could come. Don't take what happened just now to heart. 1810 is a surgeon in a hospital. He is very busy every day, and he has several surgeries to perform. That's why he values time a lot."
"You don't have to explain to me," Zhang Heng said calmly. "Don't worry. I'm here to help, not to cause trouble for you."
"Thank you. I don't want you two to become enemies because of such a trivial matter," Shen Xixi said. "1810 and his team are quite famous among the independent players. They are very strong. When they fought with Arc of Light, they were one of the few teams that didn't leave the union. By the way, what about your team? I haven't met your teammates yet."
"I don't have a team. I've always been playing alone." Zhang Heng didn't hide the truth.
"Alone?" Shen Xixi raised her eyebrows. Due to the variety of situations one had to face in a quest, players usually tended to act in groups. Of course, disputes were inevitable where there were people. There were also players who left their teams due to various circumstances, but most of them were temporary. Very few players played solo.
Seeing that Zhang Heng had no intention of going into detail, Shen Xixi didn't ask further. "You can come to me if you have any trouble, or you can join our team. After Huang Yu's departure, we need a driver."
"I will think about it," Zhang Heng said.
…
There was still some time before the mission began. Considering the opponents he had to face this time, Zhang Heng took the time to read two riddle books in the library to recharge his battery. At nine o 'clock in the evening, Zhang Heng received a WeChat message from Shen Xixi and walked out of the library to the east gate. A BMW X3 was parked on the side of the road not far away.
It was still drizzling. Zhang Heng had already changed his clothes, put on his hood, and walked to the driver's seat of the BMW X3. He opened the door, and Shen Xixi waved at him from the passenger seat.
"Wow, our Takumi Fujiwara is here." Rabbit, who was in the back seat, also popped her head over, chewing gum. "I didn't ask before, but how many years have you been driving, little brother?"
"I just got my driver's license last month," Zhang Heng answered honestly.
"…"
"Then I'd better fasten my seatbelt." Rabbit quickly retracted his head.
Fortunately, Zhang Heng was able to drive the X3 steadily. Although it wasn't fast, the entire journey was uneventful. There were no scratches, and he didn't slam on the brakes. Rabbit's heart was finally put back into her throat.
About forty minutes later, the X3 arrived at the rendezvous point. 1810 and his team were already waiting there.
Just like before, 1810 nodded at Shen Xixi and said, "Let's get to work."
After that, Shen Xixi distributed walkie-talkies to everyone. Everyone picked their own weapon and dispersed in the target area according to the plan. Then, they began hunting the Sphinx, or rather, being hunted by the Sphinx.
Zhang Heng, on the other hand, sat alone in the car, ready to move at any time. Although the location was relatively remote, there were still some pedestrians on the road since it was not too late yet. The next hour and a half was quite boring. The only sound that could be heard from the walkie-talkies was that they were safe every three minutes.
During this period, Zhang Heng received a reply from the bartender lady, saying that the blacksmith had agreed to recast the Ordinary Sword for him. However, Zhang Heng couldn't provide suitable recast materials, and he had to pay for the materials. In the end, the blacksmith offered him a high price of 4,000 game points.
Since it was a third-party service, he couldn't enjoy the 20% discount of a permanent membership.
However, there was good news. In addition to game points, the blacksmith also accepted items for deduction. However, the item's value would be 20% lower than the market price.
Zhang Heng hesitated for a while before agreeing to this deal. Other than the fact that he didn't have enough game points to pay for the recast, it was also because it was difficult for him to sell the items through normal channels. Although Arc of Light and the union had stopped fighting, they had not given up on finding the mysterious sniper that night.
Forget about the other teams, Zhang Heng had killed three Arc of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Arc of Light wouldn't forget about this easily. As long as they weren't stupid, they would definitely keep an eye on Shen Xixi. After all, Zhang Heng had done a good job of preparing himself, leaving almost no personal information at the scene.
However, since he took action that night, it meant that he had a close relationship with Shen Xixi. During this time, Arc of Light should have been combing through Shen Xixi's network. Fortunately, he didn't communicate much with Shen Xixi in school, so Arc of Light wouldn't suspect him.
However, because he had used swords, guns, and bows in previous battles, Zhang Heng only brought the Infinite Building Block for self-defense tonight. If things really went as smoothly as Shen Xixi said, he wouldn't even need to use his driving skills. Naturally, this was the best outcome.
Zhang Heng replied to the bartender lady, saying that he had something to deal with here. He would ask her to appraise the game items later.
After sending the message, Zhang Heng turned on the radio in the car and tuned to a music channel.
It was boring to wait like this, especially in such a small space. Since he had to be vigilant at all times, Zhang Heng couldn't get out of the car. So, he kept the engine running.
However, compared to the others, he was in a better situation. It wasn't a good feeling to wander around in long-sleeved shirts and trousers in this weather. Not to mention, he had to be on guard against a monster that might appear at any time.
"I didn't see anything unusual. I went to the vending machine to buy a bottle of drink. The heat is killing me," Rabbit said.
After saying that, she walked to the vending machine, chose a bottle of Coke, and selected the payment method. Just as she took out her phone and raised her head, she was suddenly shocked. Even though she was mentally prepared, seeing a woman's head growing on a lion's body in the middle of the night still made her feel extremely horrified.
Fortunately, Rabbit quickly calmed down and listened to the thing on the vending machine. "It's wrapped in red cloth on the outside, and white cloth on the inside. Open it and take a closer look. There's a small wooden comb inside. Comb a fruit."
