Chapter 2 Main Mission
On the public light screen above the head, the prompt jumps:
[Select 5 targets at the same time. Players need to complete 5 main and side quests. If any target fails to be conquered, the trial will fail. If the conquer is successful, the player will accumulate 5 experience points.]
[Are you sure you want to select the above strategy target? ]
Have five romances at once and get five times the experience points? Nice!
Wen Nan nodded without hesitation.
[This novice trial has officially begun! I wish the contestants good luck! ]
In the dormitory, the remaining three new players looked at Wen Nan in astonishment, as if they were looking at a wise man.
Does he know what he is doing? Is there something wrong with his brain? Not only did he not try to avoid the female ghost boss, but he also found five female ghosts for himself at once? Did he think he was not dying fast enough?
"He's a master."
The man with glasses said this and clicked on the [Community] column in his player panel.
They have not yet passed the novice trial, and most of the functions in the [Community] are locked, with only four windows lit.
That was the live broadcast room for the four of them.
Just as the countdown was about to end and the reminder sound for the official start of the trial sounded, the live broadcast room opened.
In [One Night Nine Times Lang's Live Room], bullet comments were loaded one after another:
[Here it comes!] [Let me see, which newbie got the classic picture again] [Fuck! Am I seeing right? The charm value is maxed out?] [Fuck! Awesome!] [The charm value is maxed out? Is he planning to use the beauty trap on the female ghost?] [Let’s talk about the plan, let’s be civilized] …
[Fuck, fuck, fuck! Look at the targets he chose!] [5? All female ghosts!] [Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck] [I've seen people choose the wrong targets, but I've never seen one who picked all the wrong options!] [No, do streamers nowadays want to gain popularity without caring about their lives?] [Sure, I'll follow you. I like those who are courting death] [It looks like this is a speedrun game] [Nine times a night, huh? I'll remember you. See you in the audience] …
Players in the trial cannot watch the live broadcast barrage, and can only see the live broadcast screen and real-time statistics of the live broadcast room.
Judging from the real-time statistics, after Wen Nan selected five targets at the same time, the popularity of his live broadcast room instantly soared from <100 to 3w+!
The popularity of the live broadcast room is updated every minute, converted into gold coins in real time, and transferred to the player's account.
In just a few minutes, 20 gold coins have been credited to Wen Nan's account.
The popularity of his live broadcast room continues to soar, and the growth rate of gold coins will only get faster and faster in the future.
At this rate, he would be able to buy the most expensive equipment in the Novice Trial Area in less than an hour.
[Safety Bubble] for 1000 gold coins.
With this equipment, he may be able to make a comeback.
"An expert, he is indeed an expert." Seeing the popularity of Wen Nan's live broadcast room, the sports student couldn't help but sigh, "Is he a big shot playing with a small account to play in the novice area?"
But the fat man couldn't help but question: "But isn't it too risky for him to do this? What if he dies before he gets 1,000 yuan..."
Glasses was already convinced that Wen Nan was some hidden boss. Hearing this, he shook his head disapprovingly, "Don't question it, just learn it!"
Wen Nan was still standing on the table. He couldn't hear what the three of them were whispering about. He only saw the way the three of them looked at him, which changed from contempt at the beginning to admiration and worship. He was a little confused for a moment.
Wouldn't his maxed-out charm value also be effective for players?
【Beep! 】
[New player tasks have been delivered, please check! ]
[Main Mission 1: Please Keep the Appointment]
[Task Description: Your target has invited you, go and spend a pleasant night with him/her! ]
The four players all had an extra item in their hands at the same time—
The athlete had a basketball in his hand. His buddy asked him to play basketball.
There was a piece of soap on Yan Jing's hand. It was his brother who asked him to go to the bathhouse.
The fat boy had a test paper with a score of 9 in his hand, and the head teacher asked him to go to the office.
In Wen Nan's hand was a pink envelope with the words "Meet at the small flower bed beside the playground at 8pm" written in a beautiful handwriting.
I looked at the time. It was seven fifty-five.
After putting away the envelope, Wen Nan rushed out of the dormitory.
A cold night wind blew towards me, mixed with a strange smell of blood.
On the way from the dormitory to the playground, there was no one in sight. It was so quiet all around that Wen Nan could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
The only street lamp short-circuited, making a crackling sound and flickering light.
A figure with long hair suddenly appeared under the street light.
Wen Nan paused.
He narrowed his eyes and the figure quickly disappeared.
"Meow--"
A black cat jumped out from the bushes and bumped into his legs, forcing Wen Nan to stumble back two steps.
After regaining his footing, Wen Nan shook his head helplessly.
A love strategy game with such a gloomy style, it feels like a horror game.
Could it be that they want to use the suspension bridge effect to create a more realistic love experience for players? In this way, the game planners have good intentions.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan quickened his pace and came to the edge of the playground.
I saw a girl from afar, sitting alone by the flower bed.
The girl was petite, with short hair that reached her ears, a small upturned nose, big round eyes, and thick eyelashes that drooped, casting two grey shadows on her cheeks.
She bent her skinny legs, holding a schoolbag that was larger than her body, and her fingers were playing with the side zipper out of boredom.
This must be his innocent and lovely deskmate.
Wen Nan made a quick judgment.
Sure enough, the system's voice sounded in my mind:
[Name: Liu Qi (Qi Qi)]
[Identity: Pure and lovely deskmate]
[Background: Qiqi is your deskmate and your neighbor's sister who you grew up with. You are familiar with each other and often go to school together. Until the sprint stage of senior year, you chose to live in the school and focus on studying, and you gradually became estranged. Tonight, Qiqi mustered up the courage to invite you. ]
[Strategy difficulty: ★★★☆]
Feeling someone approaching, Qiqi raised her head, and the moment she saw Wen Nan, her originally dull pupils immediately lit up.
Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She jumped up like a little rabbit, holding a heavy backpack, and came in front of Wen Nan.
"Brother! You're here! I thought... you wouldn't come."
Wen Nan smiled at her and said, "You asked me out, how could I not come?"
Qiqi lowered her head and did not answer.
She had sent many letters and sat by the flower bed, waiting night after night, but she never received a response and had given up hope. Unexpectedly, this time, her brother actually came.
"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Wen Nan asked softly when he saw that she didn't say anything.
Qiqi quickly gathered her thoughts, raised her little face, smiled and shook her head, "No, I didn't wait that long."
As she said that, she picked up her schoolbag and walked towards the playground, "Let's go."
Wen Nan raised his hand to hold the backpack strap, wanting to help her carry the bag, "What's in it? It's so heavy?"
Qiqi took a step to the side and held the bag in her arms like a puppy guarding its food, not letting Wen Nan touch it. "It's not heavy! I can carry it myself."
Seeing this, Wen Nan let her go.
The two came to the stands beside the playground and sat side by side on the steps.
Qiqi opened the backpack, and Wen Nan looked over and found that it was filled with bottles of sparkling water.
They are all from the same brand, different flavors, colorful.
Wen Nan couldn't help but complain in his heart, do you like this brand of soda so much? Do you have to collect the whole set and carry it with you?
Qiqi was picking and choosing in the bag, her fingers hesitating between green and yellow.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
She first put her hand on the yellow bottle, paused for a few seconds, and thought of something. She pursed her lips, blushed, shook her head, and finally took the green bottle and handed it to Wen Nan.
"Here, brother, let me give you some drink."
Wen Nan looked at the bottle of green drink, a little hesitant.
Well...normally, he wouldn't really want this color.
But when he met Qiqi's watery eyes full of expectation, Wen Nan still reached out and took it.
Qiqi was happy, lowered her head and laughed.
Wen Nan was about to unscrew the bottle cap when he caught a glimpse of a row of eye-catching slogans on the packaging bag:
[The moonlight is overhead, a good time to hold hands].
Wen Nan paused.
So, Qiqi bought all the different flavors just to collect the cheesy love words on the packaging?
When Wen Nan was in a daze, Qiqi raised her head and looked at the dark night sky, feeling a little lost.
"Ah, there is no moon tonight."
As she spoke, she carefully moved a little closer to Wen Nan and quietly put her hand close to Wen Nan's hand.
When their hands were about to touch, Wen Nan raised his hand, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip.
Her hand fell empty, Qiqi looked at Wen Nan blankly and asked him softly: "Do you... like it?"
"What?"
"that."
Qiqi raised her hand and pointed at the soda bottle, not sure whether she was talking about the taste or the slogan.
Wen Nan glanced at the night sky with only stars but no moon, and shook his head, "There's no moon, it's not appropriate."
"oh……"
Qiqi no longer tried to hold hands. She took her hands back completely, hugged her knees, and wished she could curl up into a small ball and hide underground.
Her little mouth was sunken and her eyes were red.
At this time, in Yi Ye Jiu Ci Lang's live broadcast room, the barrage chat was heated:
[Is this really a female ghost? She's so cute, how could she be a female ghost?] [Dude, are you a one-round player? You don't even know such basic common sense? The more attractive a female ghost is, the scarier she is. It's normal for a three-and-a-half-star level to be so cute.] [Ah, I see. I didn't even pass the first map. The highest level I've cleared only got one star. It's far worse than this.] [Hold hands.] [Hold her.] [Nine times a night, are you incapable of that?] At this time, several red highlighted comments floated over:
[Don't touch her! Don't touch her! Don't touch her!!!] [Important things should be said three times!] [My friend was a Qiqi who was conquered in the Novice Trial. He touched her, and now the grass on his grave is three meters high!] [Is it true? What will happen if you touch her?] [You don't want to know] [This man who has nine times a night, it seems that he is really not a newbie?] [Surprisingly, he has such strong self-control, but he didn't hold hands. It seems that he has done similar conquering] [Could it be that this big guy really came to the fish pond to fry fish?] The barrage was discussing, but Wen Nan leaned over to press towards Qiqi, raised his arms, and put his arms around Qiqi's shoulders in a posture that was almost like an embrace.
Qiqi was startled by this sudden intimate gesture. She straightened her back subconsciously and her cheek accidentally brushed against the back of Wen Nan's hand.
Wen Nan was slightly startled, and clearly felt the touch of the other person's cheek skin - cold, delicate, smooth and soft.
[? ] [? ? ? ] [I bumped into him! ] …
It was just a brief touch, and Wen Nan quickly withdrew his arm, with a bottle of yellow soda in his hand.
Qiqi then realized that Wen Nan didn't want to hug her just now, but just wanted to reach the backpack she placed beside her to get the bottle of water in the bag.
She turned her head and stared straight at Wen Nan.
The originally fair skin was gradually covered with purple lines, and the black pupils in the pair of big eyes disappeared, leaving only empty whites.
Two lines of thick black blood flowed from her eyes.
[It's over] [The true form is revealed] [gg] ...
Wen Nan stared at Qiqi's face and was stunned for a moment.
9527: [Beep!]
9527: [Dear One Night Nine Times Lang, congratulations! Your account has exceeded 1,000 gold coins! If you need to purchase anything, please feel free to let me know. ]
Before he finished speaking, the system thoughtfully brought up the store interface, which displayed an item of equipment that could be purchased:
[Safety Bubble: Players wearing this equipment will be immune to all attacks for 30 minutes. (Only applicable to targets of four stars and below)]
9527: [Do you want to use gold coins now? ]
Wen Nan: [Use.]
9527: [Okay, I will buy equipment for you now——]
Wen Nan: [——No, don’t buy equipment.]
9527: [……]
Wen Nan: [Now, help me open the market in the live broadcast room. All my existing gold coins will be used for betting.]
9527: […Yes.]
When the handicap opened, the odds soared to 86.37 in an instant.
Wen Nan looked at the girl in front of him again.
He raised his hand, gently wiped the blood from the other's eyes with his fingertips, and whispered, "It's just that we don't hold hands, why are you crying?"
As he spoke, he handed over the yellow soda bottle in his hand.
On it, there was a row of cheesy love words in the same style:
[The sky is full of stars, perfect for kissing].
"I think green doesn't suit me. I'm more suited to yellow things."
Wen Nan said this, leaning over and kissing Qiqi on the lips.
