After Wu Yue finished speaking, she waited for a while.
I waited and waited, but the system went silent for ages.
"System, aren't you going to explain what this hidden quest is all about? Just four words: 'Me???'"
If we tell players everything, what's the point of having players?
"I even get an instruction manual for my robot boyfriend, so shouldn't you explain this task you're issuing? It's called 'The Promise of Fuzhu,' right? Let's do a reading comprehension exercise. Deduce from the literal meaning that the task recipient is named Fuzhu, although I have a slight clue as to who he is."
But what if this "Fuzhu" is just a piece of tofu, or some other strange thing? Is the agreement between me and the target, or between the target and someone else? I need to clarify all of this.
The system was taken aback, probably because it had never heard Wu Yue speak so long before.
After a long while, he sparingly uttered a few words.
System: [It's... mythical beasts from the mountains and seas.]
[Hahaha, look at the pitiful system!]
[This is just like when I was called on by the teacher and couldn't answer a question, and then... well, you know...]
"Step back."
The girl waved her hand, her temper gone.
After a moment's thought, the girl called out to the girl next door, "Lu Shu."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Lu Shu, carrying a tablet playing a popular TV series, came through the wall from next door: "Little Wu Yue, what's up so late?"
His eyes never left the screen.
"Is Fuzhu from your Shanhai Village?"
Wu Yue swallowed the last piece of cake, saying nothing on the surface, but inwardly praising the handmade cake.
"Who are you talking about... Ah, Fuzhu? Fuzhu!"
Lu Shu looked up from the screen in shock, her face slowly turning red: "Fu Zhu is a very beautiful beast in our village. I liked it a lot when I was young, and... and..."
The girl lazily propped her chin up with her hand and glanced at him, asking, "Did you confess to him?"
"Ugh, I got rejected!"
Tears suddenly welled up in Lu Shu's eyes, like shimmering light on a rippling lake. She immediately turned to leave Wu Yue's house like a wronged young wife, but was ruthlessly called back after only making it halfway through the wall.
"Alright, alright, it's all in the past. Don't you like my Cuihua now?"
"Am I not tall enough? Am I not good-looking enough? I've never seen Cuihua show me any affection." Lu Shu felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
Wu Yue carefully considered her words: "Cuihua is shy and prefers a slow and steady approach..."
Perhaps because the blow was too great, Lu Shu no longer wanted to talk about happiness related to him. Anyway, the more she talked, the more arrows would be pierced her heart.
He sat cross-legged on the ground and asked Wu Yue, "Hmph, what do you want with Fu Zhu?"
Do you have any ideas on how to find him?
"Although we mythical beasts from the mountains and seas have some connection, ever since we came to the capital, I don't know if it's a problem with the magnetic field, but the auras I sense are all chaotic. Little Wuyue, if you really want to find Fuzhu, you can ask your classmate for help. Yan... he's very knowledgeable in this area. Besides, finding a beast is just a piece of cake for you two, given your relationship."
Wu Yue thought about it again and realized that Lu Shu's words made sense.
She and Yan Chiyu are now in a cooperative and supportive relationship, and they are also classmates, so he should be willing to help with this small favor.
Since it was still early, Wu Yue immediately called Yan Chiyu.
...
At the villa's main gate, a handsome young man nodded slightly to Wu Juemin at the entrance, then bent down and got into a luxury car, which quickly sped away.
The darkness stirred the moonlight, and a misty haze filled the night.
