Chapter 1726: Choice 7
Twenty-seven years old is still going on
In recent times, Fu Anan has inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
While washing dishes, she might accidentally grab a sharp fruit knife; when she came back, she found that the gas stove in the house was not turned off; the wire of the plug broke and almost electrocuted her; and whether the man with black fog head appeared silently around her...
That sense of crisis seemed like an accident every time, but how could so many accidents happen in such a short period of time?
The 27 years that could not be increased, and the constant accidents made Fu Anan doubt whether what Liu Kanshan said was true or not. What did he mean by "passing the test easily"?
She couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up her job and took a leave to go find him.
She said the only place she knew Liu Kanshan was was the tube-shaped building.
When she took a taxi downstairs, she met another unexpected person - Gao Qi.
The Gao Qi in my memory was clean-shaven, wearing a pair of glasses, and very energetic and lively. If he hadn't called me, it would have been hard to tell that this man, with glasses thicker than the bottom of a beer bottle, a bald head, and a sallow and greasy face, was the Gao Qi of twenty days ago.
"How did you become like this?"
“Because I made the wrong choice.”
Gao Qi said with a pale face and numb eyes, "I really regret being so willful this time. They don't know anything, but they want everything. I might be dying soon."
"Aren't you living well now?"
Fu Anan frowned slightly, "Don't be discouraged."
"It's really impossible."
Gao Qi smiled bitterly, "I also understood the secret of this round of game too late.
From the very beginning, it reminds us that the most important thing about the game is not time, but age. One of the most important criteria for judging age is whether the things that should be done at this age are completed.
We were admitted to high school and university together, and we were all of the same age.
But later on, because I chose the wrong major and was unable to complete the corresponding tasks, I have been stuck at the age of 28.
The longer it lasts, the more dangerous it becomes.
I can escape today, but I can’t escape tomorrow.”
Thesis, graduation, high-paying job, marriage and having children – these demands from NPCs are driving him crazy. His mentor and parents are becoming increasingly irritable, and unexpected events are becoming more and more frequent.
He didn't know which would attack him first, the accident or the NPC.
"28? I'm only 27."
Fu Anan couldn't help frowning when she heard that he was in a particularly bad mental state.
"Yeah."
Gao Qi was not surprised by this result at all. "Even Zhang Tianci died at the age of 24, and everyone else died too. I almost thought I was the only one left in this round of the game."
Of course, he's not the only one, but this situation isn't pretty at all.
Looking at his crazy look, Fu Anan frowned slightly.
"There's still one person alive."
"who?"
"Liu Kanshan, the guy who failed the exams so badly. Do you want to go and meet him?"
Seeing this, Fu Anan simply asked if they wanted to join.
Gao Qi's cloudy eyes revealed a hint of surprise and struggle, "Let's go."
Didn't he return to the tube building just to look for other players one last time and give it a try? If there was no other way, then this was his fate.
##
There was a knock on Liu Kanshan's door.
It was his wife with dark foggy hair who opened the door.
Seeing the person who opened the door, Fu Anan was stunned at first, then he pulled Gao Qi's retreating body and whispered, "Let's go."
The room is furnished with brand new furniture and the decoration style is the latest and most popular.
The brand new and expensive design inside is in stark contrast to the exterior of the tube-shaped building.
"Shoot, shoot, shoot! Yeah!"
The football commentary and Liu Kanshan's voice were blaring on the living room TV. He huddled on the sofa, surrounded by snacks, drinks, and fruit. This wasn't just living; it was living a fulfilling life.
"Husband, there are guests at home, looking for you."
After the woman with dark misty hair finished speaking, she approached the kitchen, and the aroma of food wafted out from inside.
Gao Qi looked at Liu Kanshan, who was fat and plump, and found it hard to believe for a moment.
When Liu Kanshan saw them, the excitement on his face disappeared, and he looked at them with a slight smirk on his face, "Why are you here?"
"We came here to ask you something."
"Ask, but please hurry up."
Liu Kanshan paused the football game, picked up the potato chips on the table, looked at Fu Anan and explained, "My wife doesn't like me to have too much contact with the opposite sex, so I have to keep my distance from you."
It’s just an NPC, but you took it seriously.
Fu Anan frowned slightly, "Have you encountered any strange things since you got married?"
"No, my parents occasionally give me trouble, but I can handle it."
Liu Kanshan grabbed a handful of potato chips and put them in his mouth. Crumbs of food flew everywhere as he ate. "Didn't I tell you? Why are you still asking?"
“Because I encountered it.”
Fu Anan looked at the person cooking in the kitchen, "It's always like that. Doesn't it do something...especially strange?"
"Of course not. I've been married to her for so long. If she wanted to harm me, I would have died long ago. How could I be alive now?"
Liu Kanshan looked at the NPC's back with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "She is rich but not proud, hardworking and never gets angry with me. She is always protective of me when doing things. She is much better than those wives in real life.
The only drawback is that she looks a bit ordinary, but she has a great figure.”
Liu Kanshan talked to his wife at length. Fu Anan's expression changed slightly as he listened. "Isn't its head... a ball of fog?"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them all looked at the NPC woman.
yes!
His wife couldn’t see her face at first?!
However, when he looked at her again, she had her back to him, with her hair tied in a ponytail with a bright red rubber band, and every strand of hair was so clear.
An uneasy premonition slowly rose up in his heart, and his fingers that were grabbing the potato chips began to tremble slightly.
"Don't worry, take out your ID card and check your age."
Gao Qi reminded him.
ID card?
Yes, ID card!
Liu Kanshan touched himself and suddenly remembered that his ID card had been taken away by his wife a long time ago and put away with her. At this moment, his whole body felt as cold as if he was in an ice cellar, and he looked at the woman in the kitchen again.
The woman seemed to sense something and turned around, looking at Liu Kanshan as usual, "Husband, why are you looking at me?"
Liu Kanshan tried hard to keep his voice from shaking and asked casually, "Wife, can you guess how old I am this year?"
"Do I need to guess? You are thirty this year."
Thirty years old!
Hearing this answer, Liu Kanshan was immediately excited. It turned out that he had passed the test!
At the same time, a faint female voice came from the kitchen, "You are thirty-four years old this year."
