Survivor's Guide to Survival

Chapter 20 The Shopkeeper's Request

Huo Yizhou comforted Guo Ludao insincerely: "It's better than nothing."

Guo Lu covered his face in despair: "Then what should I do when I want to use the ability in the future? When I use this ability, I have to bind a beautiful girl, and then vomit while looking at her? Where can I find such an understanding girl?" girl go?"

Huo Yizhou tried to suggest: "Why don't I go to Beimen Photo Studio to find you some art portraits?"

In the next few days, the two were busy looking for various supplies in stores near the school.They plan to officially leave Southside University next Monday.Fortunately, Bei Tiancai's material hoarding team was only operating in the campus, and before they had time to reach out of the school, Huo Yizhou found a lot of usable supplies in a store selling outdoor sports goods two streets away from the school. thing.

When Huo Yizhou found the shop, the owner of the shop was sitting bored at the door, rolling three dice with his hands. Seeing him riding a bicycle towards this side, his eyes lit up, and he waved enthusiastically: "Brother, Come and sit for a while!"

"Well, I've been waiting for someone to come. I've been suffocating to death these few days." The shop owner, who is about the same age as Huo Yizhou, enthusiastically brought a stool for him, patted the stool and motioned him to sit, "Come on, come here Let me tell you what's going on."

Facing the shopkeeper's shining eyes, Huo Yizhou couldn't say anything about his refusal. He parked his bicycle on the side of the road, sat next to the shopkeeper, and simply told him the changes in the world in the past two days.

After listening to Huo Yizhou's description, the shopkeeper's young heart was greatly shocked. It took him a while to digest Huo Yizhou's words, and murmured: "So strong...the whole world can directly enter the game..."

"Isn't there an extra app on your phone?" Huo Yizhou asked the shopkeeper curiously.

The shop owner looked up at the sky: "I had a quarrel with my girlfriend last week, and I smashed my phone in a fit of anger. Before I could buy a new one, I woke up the next day and found that the mobile phone store next door had never opened again."

"I said, why are there so few people on the street these days, and the other shops are closed," the shopkeeper scratched his head and asked, "Where did those people go? Are they in another game?"

Huo Yizhou took a deep look at the shop owner, and even envied his ignorance at the moment: "The APP said that they were cleared by the game. According to what I saw, those who were cleared all turned into black sand."

"Black sand?" The shopkeeper's originally smiling face showed a surprised expression. He seemed to have remembered something, staggered back a few steps in disbelief, propped his hands on the wall, and barely supported his body, " No wonder I saw that the shops across the street were as dirty as if they hadn’t been cleaned for decades...there was a lot of dust.” Thinking about it now, they were all players who had been cleared by the system.

The shopkeeper lowered his eyes: "I don't know if Xiaoqian is alive..." Huo Yizhou said: "Aren't you going to find her?"

"Actually, I think the last two days are a bit strange." The owner put three dice on the glass counter, walked outside the store and stretched out his hand. When the hand reached a certain height, he stopped moving again, "I The range of activities seems to be limited to the store."

Activities are limited?Could it be that there is some enchantment in this place that can only be entered but not exited?Huo Yizhou walked up to the shopkeeper and raised his hand like him, but he stretched forward a few inches without any hindrance, unlike the shopkeeper who encountered an air wall.

"How could this happen?" The shopkeeper was also taken aback, and hastily moved his hand to Huo Yizhou's place, but he rubbed against the air wall along the way, unable to move forward half an inch.

It seems that this restriction is only valid for the owner himself.

Huo Yizhou withdrew his hand: "Didn't you try to go outside to see the situation a few days ago?"

The shop owner sighed, then grabbed the dice and put them in his hand: "I tried it on the first day, but I couldn't get out. I thought I was sick, so I sat in the shop and thought about life for a few days. You are my First living person seen in days."

To some extent, the owner is a big-hearted person.When Huo Yizhou looked at the shopkeeper again, awe subconsciously appeared in his eyes.He asked the shopkeeper again, "Where did your dice come from?"

"Is this?" the shopkeeper scratched his head. "I found it in the counter after I woke up. I thought it was a prank done by some kid...According to what you said, this is so useful, I have to keep it safe."

Huo Yizhou asked: "How many dice did you find on the counter?"

The shopkeeper said: "One, and then I got up the next day and saw another one. I have taken a total of six up to today."

Huo Yizhou remembered what Ou Xiaoshan mentioned about picking up dice somewhere outside the teaching building for three consecutive days, and it was confirmed that the dice had a fixed refreshing location.

"Having said so much," the shopkeeper asked Huo Yizhou curiously, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Huo Yizhou half-truthfully said: "Nancheng University was controlled by a student. My friend and I offended him a few days ago and couldn't stay any longer, so we planned to leave Nancheng University and try our luck outside."

"Young man, don't be so angry," the store manager who just threw his phone angrily because of a quarrel with his girlfriend last week educated Huo Yizhou earnestly.

Huo Yizhou began to suspect that the shopkeeper's overly optimistic personality was a supernatural ability endowed to him later in the game.

While speaking, the shop owner took out two large hiking bags from the cabinet neatly, and put some necessary supplies for outdoor survival in them. After thinking for a while, he stuffed a Swiss Army knife into one of the bags. After everything, he pushed two hiking bags in front of Huo Yizhou: "Here, take them, it should be no problem for normal traveling."

Facing such an enthusiastic store manager, Huo Yizhou felt that he was a bit of a villain just now.He took out the golden pig pendant and the tiger head bracelet that he had prepared early in the morning from his pocket and put them at the owner's hand: "Although I know that these accessories are the most useless things at this time...but they are the most valuable for me and my friend Please be sure to accept it.”

The shopkeeper hurriedly pushed the things back to Huo Yizhou: "Take it away, take it away, I gave you these two bags and the contents inside. Just treat it as your reward for telling me so much information about the outside world."

After the two pushed back and forth several times, the shopkeeper sighed helplessly, and pointed to the mobile phone shop next door: "Why don't you help me go to the next door and get a mobile phone, I think I have to live or not. So confused."

Huo Yizhou ran to the mobile phone store next door without hesitation. The mobile phone store was unlocked. He easily opened the door and went in, and found a fully assembled mobile phone on the display cabinet of the store.Huo Yizhou unlocked the screen, and as expected, there was also the app named Survivor's Survival Guide on the desktop, but unlike himself, the app suffix of this phone was still displayed as "unbound".

Huo Yizhou put the tiger head bracelet on the mobile phone counter in exchange, picked up the mobile phone and went back to the outdoor sporting goods store.He walked into the door and handed the phone to the shopkeeper. The moment the shopkeeper took the phone, the phone beeped twice, and then Huo Yizhou saw the signal light of the phone flash once.When the shopkeeper turned on the phone screen again, Huo Yizhou found that the "unbound" displayed in the APP suffix had disappeared.It seems that the APP is bound to the owner himself.

After finishing all this, Huo Yizhou put one hiking bag on the back and the other on the front, thanked the owner again, and planned to leave this street by bicycle and return to Nantah University.

"Oh, by the way, classmate, are you leaving the university or Nancheng?" The shopkeeper who was playing with his mobile phone suddenly stopped Huo Yizhou again.

Huo Yizhou turned his head and said, "I'm not sure yet, but nine out of ten I will leave Nancheng."

"Oh... can I ask you one more thing?" the shopkeeper asked.

Huo Yizhou nodded, and saw the shopkeeper rummaging through the boxes, and finally found a photo of a dusty girl from the bottom of a big box.He picked up the photo carefully, gently blown off the dust on it, and patiently wiped it off with his hands.

After finishing all this, the shop owner handed it to Huo Yizhou: "Actually, I should have gone to find her by myself, but now it seems that I can't leave this shop in the short term... If you can meet the person in the photo If it’s a girl, help me to pass a message to her, just tell her 'Yinyin, your brother is waiting for you in Nancheng'."

The picture shows a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she looks very beautiful, and she should be able to be a class belle or something in high school.Huo Yizhou took the photo and raised his eyebrows: "This is your sister?"

"Yeah, my own sister," the shopkeeper sighed, with a trace of melancholy in his eyes, "My parents divorced when I was ten years old, and my mother took my sister to Pingcheng. My father never let me I went to Pingcheng to find them, so I haven't seen them for more than ten years."

"Then this photo...?" The girl in the photo looks like a girl, it cannot be a photo from more than ten years ago.

The owner said: "I secretly followed her Weibo, and I downloaded a lot of photos of her and my mother from her Weibo."

"My girlfriend... oh, it's time to call my ex-girlfriend—she accidentally saw my photo on the counter, and thought I secretly liked a high school girl, so she quarreled with me," the shop owner said with a frustrated expression , "She tore up all the photos, only this one from a year ago was kept in a box by me and she didn't find it."

Huo Yizhou accepted the photo, and solemnly promised the shopkeeper: "If I go to Pingcheng, I will definitely help you find out about your sister and your mother."

The expression on the owner's face relaxed again: "Thank you, brother."

Returning to the dormitory with photos and a full mountaineering bag, Huo Yizhou shared the owner's story with Guo Lu. Let's go east."

Pingcheng is to the east of Nancheng, obviously the sentimental youth Guo Lu has made up his mind to find his sister.

Huo Yizhou nodded, he had a premonition that Pingcheng did have

Something seemed to be calling him.
