After three days of intense and (not so) exciting moments, the game update was finally complete. Yan Jue, who had suffered nightmares for two nights, calmed down and put aside all the things that hadn't happened, pretending nothing had happened.
After having dinner early, Yan Jue and Pan Wencheng walked towards the confidential room together.
Pan Wencheng looked at the dark circles under Yan Jue's eyes and asked, "Hasn't it adjusted yet?"
"Okay, I've told myself to focus on the present and not dwell on things that haven't happened yet. I'm confident I can do that." Yan Jue rubbed his eyes. "The dark circles are because I've been having nightmares for the past two nights. I dreamed that the unknown monster Noel gave me was chasing me."
The gift that Noel called "super exquisite" was equivalent to double the ugliness, double the weirdness, and double the spiritual pollution to him.
Pan Wencheng laughed when he heard this: "There's nothing we can do about it. Just bear with the sweet pain."
In his heart, he was puzzled by the frequency of Yan Jue's nightmares. Moreover, after each nightmare, Yan Jue could still remember what he dreamed about, even very clearly. However, Yan Jue had just had a physical examination two days ago and was fine. He simply assumed it was due to Noel's strange gift and didn't think much of it.
Arriving at the confidential room, Yan Jue looked at his phone and after Pan Wencheng nodded, he carefully pressed the button "Update completed, press this button to restart the game."
The updated game's main interface was still simple, with only two options: "Teaching Building" and "Mall". However, Yan Jue noticed that in the lower right corner, there were two more words he had always dreamed of - Customer Service!
Suppressing his excitement, Yan Jue followed the agreement and first took a look at the game to see what was new. He was stunned when he saw it.
The scene has basically not changed, except for the addition of a "back mountain". It is a place like a primeval forest, and it is really unfair to call it the back mountain.
The number of buttons that can be called up on the side of the screen has increased. Currently, most of the functions in the game have been made into shortcuts, such as student files, the mall, favorability, and even private chat. Yan Jue clicked it and saw that the only person he could choose was Noel.
In short, this "game" finally feels like a game. It used to lack any of the convenient features it should have, and was full of aloof, "play if you want, get out if you don't," attitude that tested people's tolerance to the extreme. Now, it's finally condescending.
Yan Jue clicked on the student file again and took a look. Noel's favorability had indeed become 100. In addition, the information page had an additional function - biography.
Probably a story about Noel, but the unlocking conditions are still unknown.
Finally, after clicking into the mall and seeing the words clearly, Yan Jue looked up in surprise and met the gaze of Pan Wencheng, who was also shocked.
The mall has two more categories - Real World and Atlantis.
In the real world, it doesn’t take much thought to find that they are things from Yan Jue’s world, and Atlantis is very intriguing.
When he clicked on it, he saw that it was filled with items he had never seen before. Books, musical instruments, treasures, clothing, even potions, elixirs, and runes... definitely common items in the Western fantasy worlds they were in.
Are the prices in this category too high?
Except for clothes, the points for everything else were all over 20. The most expensive one he saw actually required 1,500 points!
"Xiao Jue, why don't you try ordering some?" Pan Wencheng couldn't help but smack his lips at the prices. "They're so expensive, and they're from another world. There should be a description of the item, right?"
Yan Jue thought so too. As for the experimental subject? It was hard for him not to poke at the extremely expensive item "Life Potion".
“What the hell?!”
Yan Jue didn't care about the fact that he accidentally said a bad word. His eyes passed over the two options of "Buy" and "Send" and were fixed on the brief description of the item.
[Life Potion: A masterpiece from the legendary pharmacist of the Sithia Continent. As long as you still have breath left, drink it and a miracle will happen.]
Miracle? What else could be considered a miracle besides resurrection?
There was also a healing potion standing next to it. If the two of them had the same effect but their prices were so different, it would be hard for Yan Jue not to drag the customer service out and give them a beating.
Pan Wencheng calmed down and asked, "The new button below it means that besides giving it to the cubs in the game, I can also buy it for myself?"
This update is truly amazing.
Flipping through the dazzling array of merchandise in the mall would take too much time, so someone would be assigned to record it during Yan Jue's breaks. For now, just knowing the general changes to the mall after the renovation was enough; there was no need to waste too much curiosity here; the main event was still "customer service."
Pan Wencheng said at the right time: "Xiao Jue, ask what you want to ask first, and we will add to it at the end."
With excitement in his heart, Yan Jue pressed the "Customer Service" button, and then a round ball with a silver-white surface and flowing light appeared on the screen.
Finding no other buttons, Yan Jue tentatively said, "Hello?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a calm, robotic male voice appeared in the room: "Hello, player. I am the customer service representative with the system number ending in 91. How can I help you?"
"Anything you can ask?"
“I will tell you everything I know, and I will say it all.”
Yan Jue was startled for a moment but quickly came to his senses and asked the question he wanted to know most: "Why did you choose me?"
"The player must have been a good person for ten lifetimes. Their parents did not have a good end, and they themselves are lonely but still willing to do good and give. They are also good people. The player is the first person who meets these requirements after the game arrives in this plane."
Yan Jue: "...To put it simply, it's the most optimistic person among the most unlucky ones, right?"
Three seconds later, the customer service representative replied: "It's OK for players to understand it this way."
Okay, the non-extreme European theorem will last forever.
His doubts were answered, and then Yan Jue asked about the game: "Is Noel a person from the real world? And the other cubs I drew as well?"
"Yes."
"Will I draw from other planes?"
"Yes."
Yan Jue asked curiously, "What kind of game is this? Why do you want to capture cubs from other worlds and bring them to me to raise?"
That doesn't sound like a serious game.
Customer Service: "My carrier's form doesn't necessarily have to be in the game. I analyze the host's personality and transform it into a game form based on the host's preferences. Once the form is transformed, it cannot be changed until a second suitable candidate is found."
"Those chosen by the game aren't necessarily all cubs, but after they enter the game, I'll transform them back to their juvenile form to conform to the game's settings. As for why they were chosen, we'll have to wait until the player unlocks the character's biography first."
After a pause, the customer service representative continued, "I was created from the most primitive and ancient laws of the universe. I am a legitimate system that can travel through the universe with permission. Players, please be careful with your words."
Yan Jue's expression was strange at first, but then turned to curiosity and surprise. "So, Noel and the other cubs will always remain in their juvenile form in the game?"
He felt a little embarrassed right after he finished speaking: "Did I treat them too unfairly..."
"Yes. Players don't have to worry. They enter the game using their mental consciousness. Their physical size in reality has nothing to do with their physical size in the game."
Yan Jue finally put his mind at ease. It was just a matter of consciousness, that was easy to deal with.
"How do I unlock the character biography?"
"Players are requested to explore on their own."
Damn.
"Since the cubs were brought from reality, can they still go back? How can they go back?"
"You can go back, but please figure it out on your own."
Yan Jue endured it, thought for a moment, and then asked, "The newbie tip said that raising your first cub to 100 favorability is a test. Is that true?"
"Yes. To prevent players from giving up halfway or encountering other accidents, I have deliberately switched the game to minimalist mode. Once players meet the requirements, the various functions of the game will be fully unlocked." Without waiting for Yan Jue to ask, the customer service representative took the initiative to explain: "It can only be used on current mobile phones. If the player's phone is accidentally lost, it means that we are not destined to play."
Yan Jue: “…”
He was speechless a lot today, all because of the customer service.
"Now that it's unlocked, can the game be transferred freely? Can plugins be installed?"
"You can transfer it. The game only allows the installation of live streaming plug-ins, not others. However, the right to communicate with the cubs is still limited to the player alone. Please take this seriously. Players and the forces behind them should not take any chances."
"You know..." I handed you over to the country?
"Yes."
Yeah, it would be strange if you didn't know.
After asking some questions he could think of at the moment, Yan Jue didn't know what to ask for a while, so he had to signal Pan Wencheng to come over with his eyes.
Pan Wencheng followed up: "Hello, customer service. I'd like to ask, can I buy items from the game store in real life?"
"Yes." A new customer service representative came over, still enthusiastic. "The mall's categories are related to whether or not a particular cub's favorability reaches 100. However, the products available are limited to the continent where the cub resides."
"The things Noel sent and the things I bought are harmless to Earthlings if used in reality?"
"I have eliminated the negative impact. Everything sent to Earth is edible by humans. Please be careful with the amount and purpose of use."
Pan Wencheng understood and asked, "You will always exist after this, right?"
"Yes. If you have any questions, you can click the 'Customer Service' button, or just call my name and I will appear."
"Okay, thanks for answering my question."
Yan Jue was shocked: "Director Pan, you're not going to ask anymore?"
Pan Wencheng smiled and said, "Well, there's still a lot of time. Now that the most critical issue has been resolved, it's not too late to ask about the rest later."
They still know too little about this game, and everything is just beginning. There is no need to go through customer service for everything. Besides, customer service is not going away, so they can ask at any time.
Customer Service: "Okay, since there are no more questions, would you like to start drawing the second cub?"
"Okay..." Yan Jue was about to nod, but he stopped after only making a sound and changed his words: "I'll go talk to Noel first."
"Okay, players, please feel free to call customer service when you need to draw."
Pan Wencheng had no objection and even glanced at Yan Jue approvingly: "I just looked at the student files and Noel was in the dormitory. I wonder if he has changed now."
Yan Jue nodded and wanted to exit the current interface to look for it again, but suddenly he remembered that he no longer needed the fool-proof operation. He used the shortcut key to take a look and found that Noel was now in the swimming pool.
He organized his words and made preparations before going to find someone.
Where is this place?
It’s so dark and stuffy.
Teacher 91? Teacher Yan? No one… It seemed like we weren’t in kindergarten anymore.
Noel panicked and tried to open his mouth to shout, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a ball of sticky water entered his mouth. The water had no taste, but Noel's subconscious told him that it was good stuff, so he didn't refuse it but swallowed it.
He stretched out his arms and felt around, only to find a smooth, solid object. It was so narrow that he could only curl up inside, unable to stretch his tail. He instinctively knew he could break through this layer of material, but he felt like something was missing.
What is it?
Noel opened his mouth and greedily swallowed all the water. He didn't know how long he drank, but he didn't feel full at all. Instead, he felt his body growing stronger. So he reached out again, clenched his fists and knocked on the "wall" that trapped him. With both fists and tail, he struck at the wall. Soon, after a crisp sound, light penetrated through a crack.
The Kovia couple hugged each other, staring nervously at a palm-sized, pearly white egg placed on the cushion.
Every time the egg moved, they became more nervous. By the time the egg began to shake violently as if something was eager to get out of it, their tails were already stretched to the tips, so nervous that they dared not breathe.
Finally, an invisible crack appeared on the eggshell. A few seconds later, a small fist punched out from the crack, expanding the hole in a few hits, and a little mermaid with a golden tail crawled out from it.
After Noel escaped from the place where he was trapped, his originally vigilant eyes disappeared instantly when he saw two mermaids standing in front of him, which were extremely huge to him.
He probably didn't know them, but the moment he saw their faces he knew they were his family.
"Mom, Father..."
Noel opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
What's going on?
While he was still in a daze, he was already in someone's arms. Noel looked back blankly at the broken eggshell behind him, stunned.
He was just born?
