Chapter 99 Answer
As the woman spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked Wen Nan's cheek with her cold fingertips.
The woman smelled faintly of freesia, mixed with sandalwood.
Wen Nan did not move. He sat cross-legged on the ground like a Buddha statue, allowing the other party to move, staring at the other party's face.
The woman's smile deepened and she asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
As if she couldn't bear the other person's gaze, the woman raised her other hand, covered Wen Nan's eyes, then leaned forward and wanted to kiss Wen Nan's lips.
When their lips were about to touch, Wen Nan suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the other person's shoulder, and pushed him away.
The woman's thin body was roughly pulled away, the smile on her face faded a little, she put down her palms that were covering Wen Nan's eyes, and looked at Wen Nan in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wen Nan frowned slightly.
"You are... a player now?"
The woman shook her head slightly.
"Strategy character?"
The woman shook her head again.
"NPC?"
The woman shook her head a third time.
Wen Nan didn't understand.
The woman smiled again, sat up from her knees, and moved closer to Wen Nan again. When her noses were almost touching his, she stopped and said softly, "I'm here to find you. Apart from that, I'm nobody else."
The two of them were very close to each other. From Wen Nan's perspective, he could clearly see the pair of protruding collarbones under the other's open collar, and below the collarbones...
Wen Nan quickly lowered his gaze, avoiding the other person's chest, and finally, his gaze fell on the other person's wrist.
The woman now placed her palm on the back of Wen Nan's hand and held it tightly. On her wrist, she wore a simple, very thin silver bracelet.
Under Wen Nan's gaze, the bracelet slowly stretched out, like a slender snake, and coiled around Wen Nan's wrist.
The cold chain became tighter and tighter, almost digging into Wen Nan's skin, causing him some pain.
This slight pain made Wen Nan sober up instantly, and his pupils shrank suddenly——
It’s a dream!
Wen Nan used all his strength to push the woman away from him, then rolled to the side and fell to the ground.
Bang! A muffled sound.
Wen Nan suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
He found himself falling off the sofa to the floor. He looked around and realized that he was still in the living room of the rented house, a not very big room, with a sofa, a coffee table, and a TV cabinet. On the coffee table there was an admission letter and an empty wine glass.
Was that just... a nightmare? As he pondered, the system in his mind began to sound a "bang bang bang" alarm, and then a countdown with a rapidly flashing red light appeared before his eyes.
【00:00:03——】
【00:00:02——】
【00:00:01——】
9527: [Main quest 1 has ended. Please return to the refresh point within 15 minutes to start the quest settlement. If you exceed the specified time window, you will lose the qualification for this settlement. Please be advised.]
9527: [The countdown for task settlement begins——]
【14:59——】
【14:58——】
Wen Nan:?!
The first main quest is over?
That's not right. There are still more than three hours left...
Wen Nan called up the system panel, glanced at the time, and found that it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
He accidentally fell asleep just now and thought only five minutes had passed, but in fact it was already three hours later?
In the upper right corner of the panel, there was a small red dot with “99+” on top of the guild chat group, which kept flashing.
Wen Nan immediately opened the group chat and found that it was full of questions from members.
Some were asking where the G. point was, some were asking the guild master to show up quickly, and some were asking where the guild master's address was in the dungeon, suspecting that something had happened to the guild master in his rental house and wanted to go and save him...
When he turned to the top, Wen Nan found that the last message he had sent ended with the word "yes".
So, the revelations he edited later were actually sent out in a dream, and the members didn’t receive them at all? !
My head was still feeling dizzy, as if I had just woken up from a hangover after guzzling a dozen beers the night before.
The scent of sandalwood still lingered in his nostrils, making Wen Nan feel a little nauseous.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The final settlement countdown in front of him kept flashing, reminding Wen Nan that he didn't have much time left.
Wen Nan shook his head, trying to cheer himself up, and quickly sent a message in the group -
[Nine: I'm fine] [Huo Huo Huo: Shit! I'm going to cry! Damn, boss, are you okay? I thought you died! Great! If you were gone, I wouldn't be able to survive!] [Yao: But the first main quest is over, boss. There's no time. Our guild is going to be trapped in this first quest] [Nine: There's still time] [Nine: Get to Point G as soon as possible] [Yao: Where is Point G? How do we get there?] [Nine: Find Zhang Tianyu] [Nine: Point G is where he wants to go but can't get to] ...
…
In the reception hall on the first floor of the Irene Group headquarters building, Hu Jiayao, who was standing next to the sofa, saw the message sent by the president in the chat group with a confused look on his face. "Zhang Tianyu? Who is Zhang Tianyu?"
Gu Jinxing, who was sitting on the sofa, replied in a deep voice: "The newest member we personally recruited into the guild."
Hu Jiayao suddenly started to ask, "The NPC with the bug that hit the wall?"
Gu Jinxing corrected with a serious face: "That's not an NPC. He is a player just like us."
Three hours ago, after receiving the president's reminder, Gu Jinxing should have thought of it long ago -
There is a place that cannot be heard, seen, touched or stepped on, but ordinary players like them don’t know where it is, but Zhang Tianyu definitely knows.
Judging from Zhang Tianyu's abnormal behavior, he is most likely a former player, because at the end of each mission, his strategy level failed to meet the requirement, triggering all five soul threads, which eventually led to the plot of [Reverse Tiangang].
His body was controlled by his own strategy character and did not belong to him at all. He wandered around like a marionette.
In this situation, the place he wants to go to even if he gets bruised and battered must be the place he subconsciously wants to reach the most.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxing stood up, replied in the group chat [Got it, rushing to the scene immediately], and ran at full speed towards the corridor where Zhang Tianyu was.
…
…
In the living room of the rental house.
Wen Nan received Gu Jinxing’s reply and closed the group chat.
His heart was about to fall when a sharp pain came from his wrist, which made his heart tighten again.
He lowered his head and looked in the direction where the pain came from. He found that the silver bracelet in his dream was still tied to his wrist. The thin chain had cut his flesh.
He raised his wrist and looked closer, then he realized that it was not a metal chain, but a silver wire of a very special material.
This is... soul thread? !
