Marry the NPC with Money, Wife Comes Knocking - Chapter 140

Chapter 140

Hua Suihe recalled everything that had just happened and scrambled out of bed. She checked the time; it was midnight.

The dungeon was over, which meant Ye Susheng’s job should have been finished as well.

However, disappearing right under Ye Zi’s nose must have terrified her. She was likely searching for her frantically right now.

Hua Suihe found her phone and tried to call Ye Susheng, but the call wouldn’t go through.

Her mind was a mess of tangled thoughts as she worried about Ye Susheng, wondering if she was still stuck on the Cruise Ship.

The delayed System announcement finally echoed in her mind.

[Congratulations, Player Hua Suihe, for completing the main quest of the Time-Space Cruise Ship dungeon. You have successfully cleared the dungeon and earned 3,000 clear points. Due to completing the extra plot exploration quest, you have earned an additional 5,000 points. You are ranked tenth on the total points leaderboard, earning 9,000 ranking points. Current total: 45,000 points. Congratulations, Player, your livestream room has unlocked Level 9. Some functions require points to unlock; please decide for yourself.]

Since Hua Suihe had already left the dungeon, the livestream perspective had automatically shut down.

This was just a points summary. Because she had unlocked a relatively special livestream level, Hua Suihe could now view some of her functional panels.

Hua Suihe clicked through the functions waiting to be unlocked. She had no other way to contact Ye Susheng and hoped to find something useful here-even if it was just a Teleport Function.

Her intuition proved practical. In the personal panel section, she saw a Bound Partner option. Hua Suihe spent five thousand points to unlock the binding and entered Ye Susheng’s name into the slot. A moment later, Ye Susheng’s name lit up, showing that she was currently in a dungeon. There was also a Teleport Marker-a one-time teleport for five thousand points.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Hua Suihe clicked teleport.

Her vision went dark for a brief moment. When she opened her eyes, her surroundings had completely changed.

She was currently inside some mechanical wreckage. Everywhere she looked, the walls were made of sheet metal, the water pipes were rusted, and the electrical wires were exposed.

This was a new dungeon.

Upon entering, the System’s backend quickly assigned a quest to Hua Suihe after detecting her status as a Special Player.

[Dungeon Started: Guard the Safe Zone. Player: Hua Suihe. Game Level: 9. Dungeon Quest: Guard the Safe Zone. Repel the Anomaly attacks and hold this unstable border. If this location falls, the quest will be deemed a failure. Please complete the quest diligently.]

Hua Suihe didn’t pay much attention to the quest. She had teleported here via the partner binding, which meant Ye Susheng was in this dungeon. However, it was clear she hadn’t been lucky enough to teleport directly to Ye Susheng’s side.

She had to find a way to locate her.

There were many people around, all rushing back and forth. Everyone was fully armed, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Hua Suihe couldn’t tell if these people were Native Inhabitants or players, but she had to understand the current situation first to figure out where Ye Susheng might be.

“The livestream was only closed for a few minutes and it’s back up already?”

“The last shot of the livestream was Hua Hua’s corpse. My heart nearly stopped. Thank god Hua Hua is still alive.”

“Hua Hua, Hua Hua, you must stay safe!”

“The livestream starting means a new dungeon has arrived. I beg the big spenders to step in and give our Hua Hua some protective charms.”

Seeing the activity in the livestream room, Hua Suihe’s panicked heart gradually began to steady.

Right, there was the livestream. Just like in the desert dungeon, she could get some Positioning Items.

Gu Gu was gifting at an incredible speed, quickly dominating the top of the contributor list. Fearing that Hua Suihe might die in the interval before she could donate, she spammed every Life-Saving Talisman, protective charm, and Lucky Star available.
[Gu Gu: The danger level is so high, you scared the life out of me!]

[Gu Gu: Are you trying to kill me so you can inherit my estate?]

[Gu Gu: You are not allowed to die inside my phone!]

Hua Suihe didn’t have the heart to read Gu Gu’s scrolling bullet chat. Her gaze was drawn to the private message icon on the top donor’s profile. Clicking it, she found it required ten thousand points to unlock.

Hua Suihe clicked unlock, enabling her to send private messages to Gu Gu.

[Hua: Gu Gu, help me by gifting a Tracking Present. I need to find someone.]

Gu Gu didn’t reply immediately, but the Tracking Present appeared, stored in Hua Suihe’s inventory.

A moment later, Gu Gu began bombarding Hua Suihe’s private messages.

[Gu Gu: Private messages are open?? Finally!!]

[Gu Gu: We can finally say things in private that aren’t fit for public ears!]

Hua Suihe had no interest in exploring the new feature with her right now. She quickly exchanged the points for the Tracking Glasses, skillfully marked Ye Susheng’s coordinates, and put the glasses on.

Ye Susheng was very close. Overjoyed, Hua Suihe hurried toward Ye Susheng’s location.

After sending a barrage of messages and seeing the livestream feed, Gu Gu realized Hua Suihe was completely ignoring her. In a fit of temper, she threw a little tantrum and sent three dog-head emojis in the private chat.

Hua Suihe ran until she reached a crystal screen. Many people were standing there, staring fearfully at the screen where Ye Susheng was clearing out Anomalies for them.

Although the Anomalies threatening the Safe Zone were dwindling, the person doing the work was Ye Susheng.

There was no guarantee that her deadly scythe wouldn’t shatter the reinforced walls in the next second, hooking people inside to their deaths.

This place was a human area that hadn’t been contaminated yet, but the Thriller Polluted Zone was only a wall away. This mechanical structure housed many high-tech weapons capable of resisting Anomalies, built specifically to prevent them from crossing the blurred boundary and contaminating the area.

In contrast to the solemn expressions of the crowd, the moment Hua Suihe saw Ye Susheng, she froze. A sharp, dull ache throbbed in her chest, and she forgot to breathe. She instinctively stumbled forward two steps, only to touch the cold screen.

Hua Suihe felt as if she had just woken up. Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife, her body trembled, and tears welled up without warning. She suddenly grabbed the wrist of the person next to her.

“How do I get out? Tell me, how do I get out?”

The man, whose wrist had been grabbed out of nowhere by a stranger, was about to demand why she was being so rude, but the words died in his throat when he saw her tear-filled eyes.

Whether he recognized Hua Suihe or not was unclear, but he fell into a brief silence.

“Do you know how to get out?” When Hua Suihe received no response, she turned to grab someone else.

The man caught her hand. “She looks like she’s in a bad state. She’ll hurt people indiscriminately.”

The man’s eyes were dark and unreadable. “Even so, do you still want to go out?”

[Aha, the final male lead has appeared: Pei Ying.]

[I’m begging you, let my couple reunite.]

[Don’t torment my couple!]

[Ye Susheng’s clothes are in tatters and she’s covered in blood. There isn’t a single patch of healthy skin visible. It’s horrifying to look at; Hua Hua must be heartbroken.]

[Pei Ying, don’t let your character collapse and become annoying like Song Qi! You’re my husband!]

Hua Suihe’s eyes were red and burning with intensity as she pressed him urgently, “You know how to get out, don’t you?”

“I have to go see her. I have to go out and see her.”
