Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Taolin Village
The scene before his eyes changed from the familiar and lively green playground to the somewhat unfamiliar quiet small room. He Junxia felt as if he was in another world.
He pulled out the chair in front of the computer desk and sat down, stunned for a long time before slowly accepting the fact that the mission was over.
I wasn't overly sad, but I definitely felt some regret. After all, I'd worked so hard all season, and then not being able to hold up the trophy for a photo at the last minute left me feeling a certain emptiness.
But even if he had to do it again, he would still choose to do it.
He Junxia rubbed his forehead, where the football had hit him. He still felt a phantom pain. He opened the task interface. This task had a double score, earning him 400 points.
The rent for a small room is 20 points per day. 400 points is enough for a tasker to stay in the room for 20 days before completing a task.
Of course, He Junxia is not the kind of person who would live off his savings.
He saved up all the points he earned from the previous missions. The only two expenses were rent and the purchase of a beginner's dessert manual. Currently, he had a total of 2,400 points in his account.
However, this amount of savings is still far from the 100 million points required for resurrection.
He Junxia browsed through the new posts that were featured in the disaster group forum, and after only three days of rest, she stepped into the mission world again.
One, two, three...
After completing another mission and returning to the Spacetime Administration, He Junxia's soul strength exceeded 10, and all the values met the standards, finally obtaining the admission ticket for C and B level missions.
The biggest difference between C- and B-level missions and D-level missions is the presence of unnatural factors that increase the difficulty. For example, He Junxia's third survival training mission, Zombie World, was a relatively easy C-level mission.
Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
The base reward for a C-rank mission is 500 points. If you receive a double "high" rating after completing the mission, you can get an additional 600 points, which is much higher than the benefits of a D-rank mission.
As for B-level missions, which are even higher than C-level missions, their base points are twenty times higher, or 10,000 points. Perfect completion also offers the chance to earn an honorary title.
Of course, these are not things that He Junxia should consider now.
[Xiao Si, extract the task]
[receive]
…
"Ji Zhou, Ji Zhou, wake up, wake up quickly."
When He Junxia opened her eyes, she saw the two boys looking around nervously, with beads of sweat hanging from their noses.
As expected of a C-level mission, the time left for the tasker to react is pitifully short compared to a D-level mission.
He Junxia immediately asked the system to transmit the task information to him, and asked quietly: "What's wrong?"
One of the boys wearing glasses swallowed his saliva, his tone filled with trance and fear, as if he had not yet recovered from some kind of shock.
"Do you feel like something's wrong here?"
"Something is very wrong."
He Junxia quickly scanned the task content and the wisher's recent memory and made a conclusion.
The wisher’s surname is Ji Mingzhou, and he is a sophomore at Yun City College of Science.
Recently, special forces-style travel among college students has become popular on short videos. He and his two roommates took advantage of the fact that they had no classes on Saturday and Sunday and took a train to the next city to climb mountains.
In order to save money and have more excitement, the three of them specifically asked a senior from the college student union about a wild hiking route.
According to seniors who have personally walked this route, the scenery is beautiful, with a large wild peach forest in full bloom, and you can climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise over the sea of clouds without spending the 100 yuan ticket price.
The three of them started climbing at 10 a.m. and saw the beautiful peach forest that the senior had mentioned around 5:10 p.m.
However, the weather was not good. Before they could stop to admire the blooming peach blossoms, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
Also, they checked the weather forecast for the neighboring city before going out, and the forecast showed that it would be sunny and cloudless for the next week, so they did not bring an umbrella or raincoat.
Who would have thought that the weather forecast was unreliable? Instead of a sunny day, there was a violent storm.
In desperation, the three of them had to find a place to shelter from the rain. By chance, an old man who was farming near the peach forest saw their miserable appearance and warmly invited them to his home.
The three people who were struggling to hide from the rain naturally agreed happily.
They are all young and strong men. Even if someone wants to rob them of their money and rape them, he has to consider his own abilities first.
Before following the old man, they sent messages to their families on Xiaoxin to explain the situation and took a photo of the old man.
But the development of things gradually exceeded their expectations.
The heavy rain did not stop until evening, and they were forced to stay in the old man's house and unable to leave.
Out of boredom, they played single-player games on their mobile phones. When their phones were almost out of battery, they were shocked to realize that there was no place to charge the phone in the old man's house.
To be more precise, they did not see any electrical appliances in the old man's house, only a small power strip or socket.
It’s 1380, how come there are still people without electricity at home?
And it wasn't just the old man's family; the entire Taohua Village had no electricity. There wasn't even a village committee. There was only an old village chief who was over 80 years old and who walked with a trembling hand.
It looks like elder abuse no matter how you look at it.
He Junxia lowered his voice and said calmly, "China completed universal electrification ten years ago. Even a utility pole can be planted on a snowy mountain. It's impossible to leave an entire village unattended."
"Also, the battery of the phone was depleted so quickly that we brought a 20,000 mAh power bank."
Another boy, Song Chengli, also said, "My mom cares about me very much. Usually, when I send her a message, she'll reply to me soon. But this time, I didn't get a reply until my phone was turned off."
The three of them looked at each other.
Ning Siyuan, the man with glasses, said with a sad face: "Actually, there is something I didn't tell you. Didn't I trip and fall there? I felt like the thing that tripped me was a white bone. We, we will never meet..."
He Junxia caught a glimpse of a shadow from the corner of his eye. He immediately reached out to cover Ning Siyuan's mouth and said nonchalantly, "What are you talking about? The scenery here is so beautiful. We should stay a few more days."
As he spoke, he signaled his two companions to keep quiet with his eyes, and silently opened his mouth: "Go to bed."
He Junxia carefully lay back on the old wooden bed. Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli were stunned for a moment when they saw his attitude change drastically, but they quickly reacted and lay back on the bed silently.
Who hasn’t read a few horror novels and horror movies these days?
Those who talk a lot die first.
Although he didn't know Ji Zhou's intention in asking them to lie back on the bed, he thought it wouldn't be wrong to follow his advice. They had been roommates for several years and had been through the same hardship, so why would he harm them?
If you have any questions, wait until the crisis is over before asking them.
He Junxia turned sideways to face the two roommates of the wisher, then slowly closed his eyes under their gaze, pretending to be asleep.
After being roommates for several years, everyone still had a tacit understanding. Seeing this, Ning Siyuan and Song Chengli also closed their eyes, letting their breathing gradually calm down, as if they were really asleep.
Under the cold moonlight, outside the paper-pasted window, a skinny old face pressed against the window withdrew its gaze with satisfaction.
He walked away slowly with his hands behind his back, and the butcher knife hanging at his waist swayed with his movements, appearing sticky and bloody in the moonlight.
The peach trees at the foot of the mountain are in full bloom.
