Chapter 188: Chapter 170: Limit Zero-for-Four
Ji Xizhi scared half of the NPCs blocking the door away with one sentence.
The bullet comments were almost bursting with laughter.
[Their synchronized retreat is quite neat! Kudos~]
[Kudos? Ji Xizhi is a demon, Ji Xizhiâs fans are demons too! Hahaha~]
[One-on-one classes were a pain for students, now itâs the teachersâ turn! Hahaha!]
Director Xuâs fleeting guilt and regret vanished instantly after witnessing this scene.
The soothing words he hadnât voiced were swallowed back whole.
Why would Ji Xizhi need his comfort? Itâs good enough if Ji Xizhi doesnât infuriate him!
Director Xuâs chest hurt immensely.
Meanwhile, in the footage, Ji Xizhi still looked clueless; as the NPC teachers retreated a step, she moved a step forward.
Eventually, Ji Xizhi had herself blocking the door completely.
A group of NPC teachers surrounded Ji Xizhi, holding rulers, wanting to strike but not daring to.
The miserable state of their colleague who had been pulled over was still fresh in their minds!
As the NPC teachers were in a stalemate with Ji Xizhi, some started secretly avoiding the cameras, turning away, and using the walkie-talkie to contact Director Xu.
But as soon as they turned, they noticed some commotion by the back door of the classroom?
Before this NPC teacher could react, a voice came from the back door.
âZhi Zhi, open! Retreat!!!â
Qiu Lin, jubilant, popped his head through the back door, and was the first to rush out.
Then Xie Ming and Mo Anxia followed.
In the teaching building, most classrooms were set with two doors, the front near the podium and the back at the last row of seats.
Usually, only the front door would be open, while the back door remained shut.
The NPC teachers acting on the corridor had all gathered at the front door apart from a few originally watching the back door.
Yet due to Ji Xizhiâs unexpected moves and questioning, the attention of all corridor NPCs had focused solely on Ji Xizhi.
Even Director Xu in front of the monitors was so angry he could bore a hole through Ji Xizhi with his gaze.
Meanwhile, while all NPC teachers and Director Xu were distracted, Qiu Lin, Mo Anxia, and Xie Ming had silently reached the back door.
As Ji Xizhi started confronting the NPC teachers, the other three just opened the back door and took off while nobody noticed!
Ji Xizhi pulled off an incredible one-for-three trade, diverting attention while covering for the other three to escape.
[Whoa! When did they run to the back door? What happened? I was watching bugs the whole timeâŠ]
[Turns out Ji Xizhi was negotiating a strategy, Iâm dying of laughter, she inherited wit straight from a nest of hornets!]
[Linxin is awesome, understood with just a glance, their coordination is unbeatable~]
[I can already picture Director Xu coughing up blood~ He got tricked yet again!!!]
As the other three guests escaped through the back door, the NPC teachers by the front were bewildered.
A few seconds later, they realized Ji Xizhi had been diverting their attention all along, aiding othersâ escape!
âTheyâre up to something!!â
Someone shouted from the door, and the teachers in the back turned and sprinted towards Xie Ming and Mo Anxia.
The NPC teachers closest to Ji Xizhi continued targeting her, no longer caring about anything else.
First deal with Ji Xizhi; otherwise, with her around, the plotâoh, the job is unattainable!
Several rulers extended towards Ji Xizhi simultaneously.
Ji Xizhi already anticipated the NPCs wouldnât miss the chance to assimilate her.
She quickly retreated from the door back into the classroom, more agile than these NPCs accustomed to chasing guests, and her backward steps even seemed somewhat methodical.
Not a single ruler could touch her.
The NPC teachers, tricked by Ji Xizhi earlier, now couldnât catch her, posing an unprecedented challenge to their profession, and they all rushed into the classroom.
On the monitors, Director Xu was fuming, âTrade one-for-three, just trade one-for-three, hold that standout down!â
A few NPC teachers were determined to trap Ji Xizhi in this classroom.
[Holy crap, six against one, Uncle Xu, have some shame!]
[The one above is giving Director Xu a hard time, whereâs the shame to be had? Iâm dying of laughter!]
[Letâs watch and see if the bug gets patched, gotta run a bit to find out, careful of extreme zero-for-four! â from a programmerâs assurance]
The classroom wasnât big, but it had quite a few desks and chairs. Although Ji Xizhi didnât have an advantage in numbers, she did have a territorial advantage.
She would sometimes support herself with one hand and leap over desks without her feet touching them, while the NPC teachers, attempting to cosplay various poses, struggled even to run, let alone jumping over desks.
If it werenât for their numbers and tools, they wouldnât have been able to corner Ji Xizhi in this classroom.
âJi Xizhi, assimilation value: sixty-one percent!â
As the sound of desks and chairs being pushed and pulled echoed, Ji Xizhiâs current assimilation value was announced live.
Next, if Ji Xizhi took a few more ruler hits, assimilation would be inevitable.
The NPC teachers heard the announcement, tightened their grips on the rulers, ready to speed things up.
As they stretched the rulers over, inexplicably, they found Ji Xizhi out of reach?
Several NPC teachers were somehow blocked by a row of desks and chairs, while Ji Xizhi propped herself up and jumped out, leaving the NPCs unable to go over or push through.
NPC Teacher: â?â Damn!!! Ji Xizhi dug another pit!
An NPC teacher was so desperate, disregarding the robe he was wearing, slammed the ruler on the desk, bent down, tucked the robe to the waist, and crawled over the desk!
The others followed suit. Instead of opening desks one by one, crawling over was clearly faster.
The six NPCs with carefully crafted makeup and outfits by the show team were tormented by Ji Xizhi to the point of disregarding their image, crawling pathetically over the classroom desks.
The livestream viewers were left speechless.
After a while, someone finally sent a bullet comment.
[Can you really play NPCs like this? Escape Room seems so interesting! I want to try it! @Director Xu, when will this segment be launched offline?]
Usually, âEscape Roomâ starsâ edition would sync offline for a period after it ended, allowing fans to experience fun themselves, typically starting shortly after the livestream ended; this time too, quite a few long-time fans started asking now.
Director Xu, drawing deep breaths in front of the monitors, saw this inquiry.
Nearly fainted.
This segment, dare he launch it offline? Isnât it clearly inviting a hundred Ji Xizhis?!
In a word, thatâs thoroughly nerve-wracking!
â
On the other side, Ji Xizhi left the classroom and quickly ran to the staircase.
When she hinted at Qiu Lin to escape first, theyâd agreed to run downstairs, so now they just had to meet up below.
Ji Xizhi descended two floors smoothly, the staircase on the second floor didnât seem locked.
The iron gate at the first-floor staircase was unlocked when she went down.
Ji Xizhi didnât pay much attention to it and swiftly left the teaching building.
Qiu Lin, Mo Anxia, and Xie Ming were already waiting downstairs, along with an additional guest, Qian Huiyi.
All four were chased by NPCs, but the area below the teaching building was bigger, so it wasnât as easy to catch them.
Seeing Ji Xizhi arrive downstairs, Qiu Lin dashed over.
âZhi Zhi, where do we go next?!â
After a series of escapes, Ji Xizhi had completely become the teamâs core.
Mo Anxia also looked expectantly at Ji Xizhi from nearby, waiting for her to allocate how to explore the plot.
Ji Xizhi looked calm, just about to speak.
At that moment, the show teamâs broadcast notification chimed precisely.
âDing ding ding, itâs break time, break for five minutes, prepare for class in five minutes.â
Ji Xizhiâs response to Qiu Lin got caught in the middle of it, clearly transmitted to the monitors.
Ji Xizhi, âLetâs go to the cafeteria.â
