Chapter 79 Chapter 79 The Holy Thorn's Trash Can Transformation...

The world of Holy Thorn's trash can has changed.

This is the first confrontation between the new forces and the local forces. It is really exciting to see which side will win in the end.

The new barrel's unique appearance design is eye-catching and it feels great to use, while the old barrel occupies a strong position and has a large group of repeat customers.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce, and for a while, it was a fight to the death, with no one stronger than the other.

Lin Huai: "Wen Qian, can you please stop pretending to be the narrator?"

Someone come and take care of her!

Zhou Zhu: "She's obviously not the only one who needs to be managed..."

When things don't happen to him, Loren is always the one who likes to watch the fun.

As soon as Wen Qian opened his mouth, he was stunned for only a second, then immediately followed her rhythm.

——He took out his cell phone and started to compose music for Wen Qian.

Wen Qian obviously appreciated his cooperation. The two looked at each other and started a new round of mutual praise.

It was hard for Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu, who had to face the workers who came to install the trash cans alone.

In front of him was the worker's shocked gaze, and behind him was the two men's increasingly intense trash can epic.

The two members caught in the middle: ...

Save them, save them, save them—

"Wen Qian." One of the two people who were playing together seemed to have a sudden change of heart and stopped the music.

He smiled and approached Wen Qian: "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Wen Qian said casually. She paused and added, "As for the ending of Trash Can, I don't know. If you want to know, just pay attention to it these few days."

Loren: “…That’s not what I wanted to ask.”

"So what do you want to ask?"

"You—" He suddenly leaned very close, carefully observing Wen Qian's expression, "Did you go out to play with Chu Lingyu during the holidays?"

Seeing Chu Lingyu posting those ambiguous photos again, Loren knew that this was probably related to Wen Qian.

Most of the photos were casual shots of the amusement park, but in only one photo - with a haunted house in the background - was a hand unexpectedly captured holding Chu Lingyu's arm.

Whether this was captured accidentally is debatable.

"Yes." Wen Qian nodded, "We went to the amusement park together."

"Did he ask you out, just the two of you?" Loren's smile was vague.

"Of course it's not just the two of us!" Wen Qian denied, "Lin Huai, Xiao Zhu, and my neighbor are all here."

Loren was silent for a second. Lin Huai and Zhou Zhu could understand. They had a good relationship, so it was normal for them to make plans to go out together.

But why is there a neighbor among these people?

He didn't show it on his face, but said quietly, "You guys in the Environmental Protection Club are going out together, but you're not taking me with you, right?"

"Excluding me again?"

"Aren't non-staff members still members? President, look me in the eye and tell me, are you not going to let me join?"

Wen Qian: “…”

She began to look around: "How could that be? Hahaha, Loren, you completely misunderstood."

"Really?" Loren put his arm on Wen Qian's shoulder and leaned closer. "Looking someone in the eye when lying will make it more convincing."

Wen Qian tried to tear off the person who was attached to him: "I'm not lying to you, you are the unique non-staff member of our club, the only one!"

"He's also the only one who didn't participate in the environmental protection club's collective activities, right?"

"Who said you didn't participate?" Wen Qian's tone became more serious. "You are half a member of us, so you are definitely indispensable for group activities."

Half of us?

The other two members who saw these two people arguing and wondering whether they were excluding me fell silent.

Does anyone still care about the trash cans being installed?

"Loren didn't think we were just going out for fun, did he?" Zhou Zhu shook his head slowly. "He should be glad he didn't go, otherwise he would have to endure something he shouldn't have endured like the two of us."

Lin Huai hesitated to speak: "No, I don't think Loren will be like us."

"It's obvious that this guy will join the dispute between Chu Lingyu and the other two."

Zhou Zhu fell silent... Wait, wait!

Is that so?!

"It's a good thing he didn't go." She suddenly felt like she had survived a disaster. With just this catalyst, it would be too late to stay with Wen Qian.

"If he were here, we'd be finished." Zhou Zhu said solemnly.

“I totally agree.”

…

"Wait, is it possible that they weren't actually arguing and were just using this as an excuse to avoid work?"

"Um?!!"

…

——————

The installation of the trash can was carried out smoothly.

After advancing to a primary club, the speed of experience bubble production in the club activity room almost doubled.

Even though it was holiday time, the production speed of experience bubbles did not stop. After harvesting the bubbles that almost filled the roof, Wen Qian's experience value once again broke through the critical point and reached level 23.

Having just completed a major mission, the game system's task list once again entered a transition period, which made Wen Qian suddenly feel like he had nothing to do.

The trivial little tasks really wear out the players' patience. Can there be something interesting?

It was the same daily tasks over and over again. Wen Qian was quiet for a few days before she started looking for the trigger point of the mysterious task all over the academy - the first destination was the clock tower storage room that belonged to her.

The things in the storage room are very messy, most of them are discarded books.

Although he didn't find the task, the player didn't lose heart. He picked up a few books as gifts for his fellow club members who skipped classes today.

"'Her Eyes Like the Night Sky', what book is this?" Lin Huai looked at the dusted book and read out the name of the book.

"It's a romance novel, and it's very well written!" Zhou Zhu continued. She liked this book very much and didn't expect that there would be such a sweet novel among the books Wen Qian brought.

"Then what are you doing, copying?" Lin Huai looked at the notebook next to Zhou Zhu and felt that it looked a little familiar.

Last time at the amusement park, she seemed to be using this notebook to record some material?

"Xiao Zhu is writing a story." Wen Qian, who heard the conversation between the two, came out from the pile of junk nearby.

Lin Huai, who was standing next to the pile of debris, didn't expect that there was a person hiding in it. He took two steps back in fright.

What frightened people the most was not this little accident, but——

"Wen Qian." Lin Huai's eyelids twitched. "Where did you get the trap in your hand?"

Wen Qian glanced at the heavy, rusty metal clip in his hand and said casually, "I found it in the storage room. I think it's quite interesting. I brought it back for you as a souvenir."

"Do you want it?"

"No need." Lin Huai tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Why is there such a dangerous thing in the storage room?"

"After all, it's a place where treasures are hidden, so it's normal to have some traps." Wen Qian could accept this.

They were able to get the treasure smoothly because they had passed the pre-task test. If they had not passed the pre-task and had forced their way in, they would probably have been caught in a trap.

Treasure, does it refer to that piece of torn paper?

Lin Huai suddenly remembered that Wen Qian had obtained the right to use the storage room with that piece of torn paper, and his expression became even heavier.

He was able to accept this fact only through constant self-hypnosis.

Recite it silently every night. There must be a reason why Holy Thorn made such an arrangement, and it was Wen Qian after all.

"You really don't want it?" Wen Qian shook the trap. "It's not dangerous. I just broke it."

"So you wanted to give it to me because you broke it?"

Xiao Wen: "...Hahaha, how could that be."

Lin Huai firmly rejected this piece of scrap metal.

Looking at Wen Qian who kept muttering that he had no taste and that she didn't want him, she just made it into a pendant and hung it on the wall, Lin Huai took a deep breath.

Forget it, he should just go and read the short stories written by Zhou Zhu.

"I've finished writing the story outline." Zhou Zhu put down his pen and announced.

Lin Huai and Wen Qian looked at Zhou Zhu at the same time.

Lin Huai was a little surprised: "Did you write it so quickly?"

Wen Qian put down the trap in his hand, walked quickly to Zhou Zhu, and looked at the notebook in her hand.

"How is it written? Can you show it to me?" she asked with curiosity.

"sure."

Zhou Zhu introduced the source of inspiration for the short story, which was the novel that Wen Qian brought from the storage room - "Her Eyes Like the Night Sky".

The novel tells the love story of a young girl. When they first met, the heroine's clear eyes touched the hero's heart, and the two of them developed a series of secret crushes on each other.

Zhou Zhu got inspiration from this and her little story was born.

Lin Huai looked at the title on the notebook and slowly said, "The Thirteenth Eye of the Night"

After reading the title, he fell silent.

"This name sounds awesome!" Xiao Wen, who hadn't seen anything, started praising it right away.

Lin Huai adjusted his glasses and said with difficulty, "Are you sure this was the inspiration you got from reading that love story?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Zhu said, "I wrote a lot of love elements. Campus love stories are easy to write!"

No, just the name alone doesn't seem right.

The story is indeed a love story, but because of the author's unique choice of words, the description of the characters' behavior like pseudo-humans, and the various logical refutations before and after, it gives people a weird and terrifying feeling when you think about it carefully.

Lin Huai felt a chill down his spine and silently put down his notebook.

"How is it?" Zhou Zhu asked expectantly.

Wen Qian spoke without hesitation: "It's very well written, Xiaozhu!"

"Really?" Zhou Zhu asked in surprise.

Lin Huai also wanted to ask this question, is it true?

Encouraged, Zhou Zhu decided to continue improving his short story and started writing quickly with his head down.

Lin Huai glanced at Zhou Zhu, then at Wen Qian who had come to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Are you serious?"

Could it be that he didn't understand it and it was actually really well written?

"It's really good." Wen Qian nodded and sighed, "I didn't expect Xiaozhu to be so good at writing this kind of weird campus story. I was a little scared when I read it."

Even a haunted house couldn't disturb her mind, but Zhou Zhu did it!

Lin Huai: "...You said that was a weird little story?"

Wen Qian was surprised: "What else could it be if not a weird little story?"

Lin Huai agreed. From this point of view alone, Wen Qian was right to praise him.

It is indeed well written, and it would be even better if the author himself did not regard it as a love story.

"Oh, by the way!" I, who was continuing the story, said loudly, "I also added a little bit of our experience into the story. Do you mind?"

"I don't mind at all!" Xiao Wen responded immediately.

Very good, Lin Huai's expression was calm. He now understood why the story was illogical and the characters had strange motives.

I see.

However, the fact that he wrote a slightly scary and weird story should be Zhou Zhu's own style.

He remembered the materials Zhou Zhu had recorded before and silently added a sentence in his heart.

Pure talent, his photography skills are comparable to Wen Qian's.

It turns out that he is the only ordinary and normal person in the Environmental Protection Society. Lin Huai suddenly felt a little desolate.
