Chapter 114 New Background, New Skills
...Side quest? In other words, although it was still a date, it was completely different from the last time when Wen Nan took the initiative to invite her.
The system acknowledged Guan Ailin's active invitation this time.
Therefore, if you complete it successfully, you will not only gain experience, but also have a certain probability of randomly dropping equipment or props, just like the side quest of the school beauty last time.
And, the most important point is that the strategy points generated during this date will be actually counted into the character card. It will not be like last time, when it was reset to its original value after the date.
Of course Wen Nan would not refuse such a thing.
But now there is a small problem -
These two movie tickets...are handwritten!
The paper used was indeed the same thermal paper that ordinary movie tickets use nowadays, but the movie name on it was written by himself with a red marker, and there were even two stick figures drawn next to it, holding a dog together...
This soul painter’s pictures are quite suitable for the theme.
And this topic - let's get a dog... This was clearly something Wen Nan made up when he and Guan Ailin were chatting in this office before, in order to prevent his mind-reading ability from being discovered.
In order to cover up his lie, Wen Nan asked the system to find out if there were any recent movies with themes related to dogs. The system was very "considerate" and found him "The World Outside".
As for now, looking at the two handwritten movie tickets in his hand, Wen Nan was speechless.
He touched the words on the ticket, and the scarlet ink, which had not yet completely dried, immediately stuck to his fingertips. He rubbed two fingers lightly, and the red mark spread on his fingertips.
Is this a prank? Or some strange hobby? Or is he testing himself on purpose?
Wen Nan thought about it, raised his head and looked at Guan Ailin, but what he met was the other person's sincere but somewhat uneasy gaze.
"You... don't want to go?" She asked cautiously.
This doesn't seem to be a question of whether or not to go? Judging from the other party's serious expression, it doesn't seem like he is joking with Wen Nan.
Could it be... really a movie ticket? Was he ill again? Wen Nan regretted using his [Mind Reading] on Yang Jingyuan. Sure enough, the CEO needed this skill more.
Seeing that Wen Nan was hesitant to reply, Guan Ailin lowered her eyes, a look of disappointment appeared on her face, and she raised her hand to take back the movie ticket.
"If you don't want to go, then that's it—"
"——I want to go. How could I not want to go?" Wen Nan immediately withdrew his hand and carefully put the movie ticket back into the envelope. "I was just too happy and didn't react for a while."
Guan Ailin smiled again, "At 9:50 p.m., I will go to your house twenty minutes early to wait for you downstairs. Don't be late again this time."
Wen Nan nodded and replied with a smile, "See you tonight."
No matter if it was his problem or the problem with the movie tickets, the system acknowledged that this was a side story, so he should just agree to it first. Anyway, the completion rate of the main quest was 100%, so he could make money by going on a date.
After walking out of the president's office, Wen Nan stretched and glanced at the time - it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.
Drink tea! Wen Nan walked through the heavily guarded reception hall of the headquarters and headed towards the north gate of the company.
He crossed the street in front of the door and walked straight into the cafe opposite the north gate.
"Welcome, what could you drink?"
As soon as he pushed the door open, a clerk standing behind the counter immediately asked Wen Nan with a smile on his face.
Wen Nan couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the attitude of the NPCs in this copy was much better than those in the game lobby.
Wen Nan walked to the ordering counter, and the waiter immediately smiled at him with a row of white teeth, raised his hand and pointed at the menu in front of him, "Would you like to try our signature hand-brewed coffee? We have a special afternoon tea now, and you only need to add 20 yuan to get a free blueberry cheesecake."
Wen Nan didn't even look at the menu the other person was pointing at, and asked directly: "Do you have an activation point here?"
The clerk was a little confused. After a few seconds, he said, "Excuse me, sir, what did you say?"
"Activation points," Wen Nan repeated word by word, "Activation points for low-level strategy characters."
The clerk was stunned again. "Excuse me, sir, what did you say?"
Wen Nan stopped talking.
Isn't it here? The coffee shop opposite the north gate of the company... Isn't it here? Wen Nan: [9527. ]
9527: [I am here.]
Wen Nan: [Isn’t the activation point you mentioned before here? ]
9527: [The system shows that you are already at the activation point. I wish you a smooth activation.]
Wen Nan: ...
Wen Nan was about to ask something else when the waiter spoke again: "Sir, if you are not sure what to order for the time being, you can sit down nearby and scan the QR code to order online."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the dining table in the corner by the window.
As soon as he saw the QR code on the dining table, Wen Nan guessed something. Without saying a word, he walked to the table, sat down, and scanned the code.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Immediately, a series of system prompts appeared before my eyes:
【Welcome to the 13th character activation point of "Office Taboo **"! 】
[Please select the character you want to activate in this map...]
Wen Nan had no choice, he only had one low-star character that needed to be activated - Qiqi.
[Authentication is performed below——]
[Please place your driving pattern for this character in the scanning window, and place your face in the facial recognition frame...]
[Completed player identity authentication, completed driving pattern verification...]
[Authentication passed, the driving role - Liu Qi will be activated for you. ]
[In order to adapt to the new map level and the player background, the characters to be activated need to be updated. ]
[We are randomly matching you with the new background introduction and corresponding character skills required for character activation. Please wait...]
Wen Nan was stunned when he saw the prompt appearing in front of him.
If you activate a character in a new dungeon, will you get a new background? Or even... new character skills?
Is there such a good thing? [Random matching has been completed, waiting to activate the character Liu Qi, the background introduction and corresponding skills that can be updated are as follows——
