Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Teyvat battle system has been bound.

08

The trees were green and leaves fell sporadically, and landed on Dazai Osamu's shoulders with the wind.

"Summer is almost here."

Dazai Osamu raised his hand to brush away the leaves and wipe away the thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

The sunlight is warm and makes the shadows very long.

He changed back into his black suit, but left his red scarf on and left his black coat in the apartment.

Li Xiaoqi looked at him like this and inexplicably felt that his shoulders seemed to relax a little.

"What's wrong?"

Dazai Osamu looked over and asked softly.

He has a nice voice and sounds very gentle when he speaks softly.

Li Xiaoqi couldn't help but slow down his voice, "I just think you look more casual now."

"Yeah……"

He smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and seemed to be enjoying the feeling of the wind.

But the next second, Dazai Osamu's words made Li Xiaoqi's comfortable mood disappear a little.

"But the thought that I can't die yet and have to survive to complete the system's tasks is really painful."

The smile on Li Xiaoqi's face faded, and he didn't want to look at Dazai Osamu.

"If God wants us to encounter such a thing, there must be a reason for it."

Dazai Osamu was a little puzzled when he noticed the unpleasantness in Li Xiaoqi's words.

"Why are you in a bad mood?"

Li Xiaoqi pursed his lips and looked at him deeply.

"Mr. Dazai, I think you look great in the sunshine."

She said this very seriously, her hands clenched nervously, as if she was trying to pull something up.

Dazai Osamu was slightly stunned and laughed out loud.

He stared at Li Xiaoqi's clenched fingers, then turned his gaze to the woman in front of him.

The white skirt fluttered and the light pink headband behind her head danced in the wind.

Li Xiaoqi is a person who cares about his appearance. Even when he goes out to buy food, he curls his hair slightly with a curling iron and braids it with a hairband, as if he is going out shopping with friends.

The sun kissed her cheeks, but her peach-colored lips were slightly shiny.

Standing here like this, she looked unexpectedly pure and flawless.

Dazai's throat trembled slightly and he looked away uncomfortably.

"I haven't been in the sun like this for a long time."

He spoke.

Li Xiaoqi paused and turned to look at the black car parked in the school parking lot.

"The benefits of the Curse High School are really good."

"Yes. Not only are the accommodations provided good, but each apartment also comes with a car that can be driven. As long as the superiors agree, we can use it, even if we are just cafeteria employees."

Dazai Osamu saw that Li Xiaoqi had clumsily changed the subject, but he didn't care and continued speaking as she said.

"The location of the Jujutsu High School is quite remote. I wonder how long it will take to get to the commercial street."

Li Xiaoqi took the car keys and looked out the door.

Dazai Osamu grabbed the car keys and said, "I'll drive, you sit."

Li Xiaoqi swallowed nervously, "Um...you drive?"

She suddenly remembered Dazai Osamu's driving speed and became frightened.

Unexpectedly, Dazai Osamu opened the back door and motioned for her to get in.

"I suppose you can't drive."

"you……"

Li Xiaoqi hesitated to speak, revealing a helpless look, "So how did you figure that out?"

Dazai Osamu smiled triumphantly and said, "I was just saying it casually."

Li Xiaoqi was speechless for a moment and could only get in nervously. At this moment, he regretted why he didn't learn how to drive.

Dazai Osamu put his arm on the car door and leaned over.

In a trance, Li Xiaoqi seemed to smell a faint fragrance coming from him.

The sun seemed to favor him, casting a faint golden light on his face and dispelling some of the oppressive aura from him.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me."

Li Xiaoqi was lost in thought. In her eyes, Dazai Osamu was enveloped in sunlight and looked unlike the people here.

Dazai Osamu put down his hand and was about to close the car door.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoqi came to his senses, slammed the car door shut, and said anxiously, "Mr. Dazai, please drive at a normal speed, otherwise I will get carsick and will definitely vomit. I will vomit all over you as soon as I get out of the car!"

Dazai Osamu was stunned at first, then spread his hands helplessly.

"Am I being threatened?"

Li Xiaoqi nodded, "Yes."

Osamu Dazai: "..."

*

Along the way, the vehicle was driving at a normal speed, and Li Xiaoqi's heart finally relaxed.

She looked at the scenery passing by the car window and thought of the live broadcast system, feeling a little confused.

"Mr. Dazai, how do you achieve 100% map exploration? According to the game settings, there should be some indicators."

"Oh, right. The quests given by the system right now are just simple. What map is it? How do we exchange the gold coins earned from completing the live broadcast room quests for world currency? And how do we get the live broadcast gifts stored in our backpack? We haven't been told yet."

Dazai Osamu turned the steering wheel and said.

Li Xiaoqi frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

Dazai Osamu raised the corners of his lips and looked at the rearview mirror.

Li Xiaoqi's confused look came into view, and her hands were stroking her nails nervously.

"I think there must be a triggering moment, an opportunity to light up all the functions of the system."

Dazai Osamu deliberately emphasized the second half of the sentence.

"Huh?"

Li Xiaoqi noticed his choice of words and couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Light up or something? You said it like a game."

Dazai Osamu chuckled and said, "If you imagine the experience of traveling to another world as a game, you won't be so nervous and your mind will be more active."

"Cherish the present moment. I have a feeling this is the last leisurely moment."

Dazai lowered his voice, and the look in his eyes darkened a little.

Li Xiaoqi was stunned. His originally nervous mood miraculously calmed down after hearing his talk about the game.

"Could it be that the instructions the system has given us from yesterday until now are all for us to adapt first?"

"right."

Dazai Osamu answered with certainty.

Li Xiaoqi opened his lips and slowly exhaled.

When he arrived at the commercial street, Dazai Osamu parked his car in the parking lot outside and turned off the engine.

Li Xiaoqi got out of the car and stood aside waiting for him to come out.

She looked around and saw the rusty fence around her.

This parking lot is a bit old and there are many cracks on the ground. There are not many pedestrians passing by, so it is quiet. I can hear faint conversations coming from the distance.

It's a nice day with the sun shining brightly, but it feels a bit chilly standing here.

Li Xiaoqi rubbed his arms subconsciously and frowned slightly.

As soon as Dazai Osamu got out of the car, he heard the same voice.

“Gu——”

He paused and walked past Li Xiaoqi as if nothing had happened.

Li Xiaoqi looked at Dazai Osamu, coughed lightly, and said, "How about we go have lunch first?"

Dazai Osamu turned around immediately and asked, "Are we going to a high-end Western restaurant, or a kaiseki restaurant?"

After he finished speaking, his stomach growled with hunger again.

Li Xiaoqi was speechless and folded his arms. "Our budget is limited. The meal costs 1,000 yen per person. Besides, it takes too long to dine at these places. Mr. Ino asked us to be back by 4 pm."

"It takes an hour and a half to get here from school."

She picked up her phone and pointed to the words "12:06" on the screen.

Dazai Osamu twirled the car keys between his fingers. "You're so nagging, just like someone else."

Li Xiaoqi's eyebrows jumped, and he took a step forward to retort: ​​"Huh? Who do you say he looks like?"

Osamu Dazai: "Kunikida."

Li Xiaoqi's mouth twitched, "You just think I'm an old lady, right?"

Dazai Osamu waved his hand, took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the commercial street.

"If Kunikida Doppo heard this, he would cry."

"It's impossible for him to appear in this world anyway!"

Li Xiaoqi ran forward and tried to grab his sleeve.

Dazai Osamu suddenly turned around, grabbed Li Xiaoqi's hand and held her in his arms.

Li Xiaoqi looked at the black tie so close to him, and his brain suddenly froze. The faint fragrance of Dazai Osamu filled his nostrils.

She couldn't help but feel hot and the tips of her ears turned red.

"What are you doing..."

As soon as Li Xiaoqi spoke, she felt a hand pressing on the back of her head, and the next second she felt weightless.

Her vision was blocked, and she felt herself being held by Dazai Osamu and rolled to the ground.

My knees hit the ground, and the roughness of the ground scratched my skin, causing a stinging sensation.

“Boom!”

A loud bang shook the eardrums.

Li Xiaoqi felt dizzy, and the colors of the whole world seemed to dim for a moment, and then quickly returned to color.

In an instant, the system's voice sounded.

"The live broadcast is about to begin. Please prepare yourself."

What……?

A subtle sound of electricity followed, and the live broadcast interface was called out, showing the posture of her and Dazai Osamu at the moment.

The two men rolled around on the ground in a panic, destroying the ground and stirring up a flurry of flying stones.

What's going on?

[Wow, it’s so exciting as soon as I come in]

[I took a lunch break, checked my phone and it came back again]

[Xiao Qi and Zai rolled on the ground???]

[Wait, something's wrong. Look, the floor is cracked, and there seems to be something next to it.]

[Fuck! A red light flashed across the border of the livestream room.]

Barrages began to appear, and a warning sign with a line of text appeared above the live broadcast interface, with the border flashing red as a prompt.

The next second, the system broadcast sounded.

"The host is in danger, Danger Level A."

As soon as the rolling stopped, Li Xiaoqi climbed out of Dazai Osamu's arms and looked over.

A terrifying monster appeared where they had just stood. The monster was huge and centipede-like, with many soft limbs with thorns wrapped around its body, and each limb was covered with densely packed eyes.

"It's so painful, so painful... Why are you forcing me..."

The monster made a sound, opened its mouth, and a foul smell came out.

In that mouth, a severed human arm was stuck between the blood-red teeth.

Her face turned pale instantly and her hands began to tremble.

"...Curse, curse spirit?"

As soon as Li Xiaoqi spoke, all the eyes on the monster stared at her.

Her scalp was numb, she was so scared that tears were almost falling, and her legs began to go weak.

Dazai Osamu quickly came back to his senses and looked at Li Xiaoqi, and saw that her eyes were red and her lips were trembling.

He reached out to cover her eyes and whispered a warning.

"Calm down."

Li Xiaoqi felt the warmth on his face and hugged his arms to try his best to stop his body from shaking.

The system's next words completely awakened her frightened mind.

"The enemy is a Level 1 cursed spirit. Please be careful, both hosts."

"Ding Dong! The world map is now open. Say 'map' silently to call it up. The exchange system is now open. The streamer can exchange gold coins for world currency. Say 'exchange' silently to call it up. The backpack function is now open. The streamer can view and use the items in the backpack. Say 'backpack' silently to call it up."

The cursed spirit attacked again, opening its bloody mouth and rushing forward quickly.

Dazai Osamu put down his hand, grabbed Li Xiaoqi's wrist and ran.

He reacted quickly, summoned his backpack, and directly took out the handgun and held it in his hand.

After Li Xiaoqi was pulled into a truck by Dazai Osamu, she looked up in shock and met Dazai Osamu's calm eyes.

"Listen, you can't go out without my order."

She nodded and took a deep breath to calm herself.

The cursed spirit missed its target, but soon smelled the scent of the two people, and flew into the air with a roar.

Dazai Osamu frowned slightly and ran out of the truck's cover.

The cursed spirit extended its soft limbs, forming spikes that attacked Dazai Osamu.

He raised the wooden cannon, and with two wooden cannon sounds, the spikes on the soft limbs were broken.

Soon, many soft limbs were thrown from all directions.

The burrs rub against the ground, making a harsh sound.

The truck shook violently, and the front of the truck was swept by the soft limbs with sharp burrs, and was crushed into scrap metal in an instant.

The cursed spirit's attack speed was too fast, and Dazai Osamu had to shout: "Xiao Qi, come to me!"

Li Xiaoqi stood up and ran towards him without saying a word.

Dazai Osamu extended his hand to her and opened a few wooden doors towards her.

Li Xiaoqi opened her eyes wide and didn't think that the bullets were aimed at her.

The bullet flew past her quickly, breaking the soft limbs that attacked from behind.

Li Xiaoqi successfully came in front of Dazai Osamu, but before she could catch her breath, Dazai Osamu grabbed her hand and pushed her back.

He took a step forward, spun around, and kicked away the stone slab that had been lifted up by the cursed spirit.

The air was turbulent and Li Xiaoqi had no time to look at the live broadcast comments. He stared at Dazai Osamu, fearing that he might encounter an accident.

The white dress had long since turned gray, her knees were red, and her arms were covered in scratches.

The audience watching the live broadcast were frightened by this scene and frantically sent barrages of comments to remind Li Xiaoqi and Dazai Osamu.

"The host is in danger. To ensure the safety of both hosts, the Teyvat battle system has been linked."

……ha?

What combat system?

Li Xiaoqi's mind was blank, and he felt that the world was in chaos.
