Chapter 17 Hands are firmly held
After all, Yu Mian remembered that the little system did mention this matter when he took the nutrient solution.
"What will happen if I don't go? Fail the daily task?"
But who would have thought that the first task would be of hell-level difficulty?
It doesn't matter if I don't live in this mansion.
"Well, if you fail, the simplest consequence is an equivalent substitution forced end. From the plot point of view, you will be discovered and kicked out of the house."
"But this is also determined by the underlying logic of the operation of the small world in the book."
"After all, in a novel, if the book-crosser can use the golden finger at will without any cost, even if it does not destroy the balance, from the reader's perspective, it is also a cheating behavior that causes disgust."
The small system simply explained the reason, but it made Yu Mian understand the operating logic of the world rules.
All mandatory mission releases seem to be based on the readability of the book itself.
If the previous popularity mission release was to increase the richness of the plot of the whole book, then this kind of daily mission is more like maintaining the balance of the plot.
He solved the crisis at the beginning by using the conch prop, but he also used the study room and high-end optical computer that did not belong to him.
If he could stay undetected, wouldn't he not even have to buy a house and could just live in someone else's villa and code for the rest of his life?
This reminded Yu Mian of the time when he played the game "The Sims". There was a way to cheat, which was to live in the neighbor's house and eat and drink for free, but this also required activating a "guest becomes host" cheat.
The rules of the world obviously would not allow him to do this.
Besides, Yu Mian himself did not want to do this.
But, this task was too difficult!
[鱼鱼宽面条眼淚.gif]
Compared to running away after being discovered, it feels like if I take the initiative to bandage him now, it will be easier to be mistaken for an invading spy and be caught directly...
"Your mission is better than letting me be discovered directly."
Yu Mian felt really desperate at this moment.
"Host, be strong, if you die, what will happen to the readers of your unfinished novels? Hurry up and finish them!"
The system's comfort and encouragement made Yu Mian, who was unintentionally urged to update, want to die even more...
This system is really good at comforting people.
"And you don't have to worry too much. Once the world rules' mission is released, it means that it is possible to complete the mission without being discovered."
"For example, the mission limit is 30 minutes. It can be roughly inferred that the secretary just now should arrive in half an hour. You can quickly complete the task within this time period."
For Yu Mian's first contact with this kind of daily mission, the small system also tried to explain the implicit hints in it.
It must be possible to complete it?
"Then should I turn back into a mermaid now...? Hey, he seems to be really asleep!"
Yu Mian suddenly discovered through the glass jar that Huo Ting, who had just connected the optical computer communication, seemed to have closed his eyes and rested his mind.
It was also like a beast that was extremely tired. After returning to a familiar and absolutely safe place and relaxing its guard, it temporarily entered a rest.
"Hush, move slower, hurry up and transform now! Although I'm not sure if he's really asleep, the mission is definitely not a lie."
So Yu Mian, under the urging of the system, desperately transformed back into the form of a mermaid.
"Um...!"
Because the glass jar was on the coffee table, Yu Mian almost instantly got close to the man in front of him. From a distance, it was like falling into his arms.
Help, so, so close!
This crappy mission is really enough.
"But he seems to have really fainted!"
At this moment, Yu Mian's face was hot, and he was so sure that tears welled up in his eyes that Huo Ting in front of him must have fainted without noticing him in such a situation!
"He is not unconscious, but his spiritual sea is a little unstable. It seems that he was deliberately disturbed in the previous attack, and he has been holding on until now."
The small system found some problems and his tone became serious.
But Huo Yan's brother is really good-looking.
Regarding this point, Yu Mian must admit that he is a bit obsessed with looks.
Especially when Huo Ting closed his eyes, the natural sense of oppression was quietly lurking, and the handsomeness of his eyebrows became more prominent.
Under close observation, his facial features are so deep that he has a slightly mixed-blood flavor, but everything is portrayed just right, making people want to secretly admire him.
I just realized that this guy has such long eyelashes...
But my obsession with looks is definitely inherited from my parents!
It is definitely not because Huo Ting's brother looks just right for my aesthetic taste.
Yu Mian embarrassedly withdrew his fingers that wanted to touch his eyelashes and looked around.
What's the difference between what I am doing and teasing a tiger while it's asleep!
"Here comes the first aid kit~!"
The small system also rarely used its authority and moved the first aid kit from the cabinet to Yu Mian, who had turned into a mermaid and had difficulty walking on his hind legs.
"Thank you, but do I really have to bandage it myself? Then I have to find the wound..."
Yu Mian stretched out his hand in embarrassment and carefully avoided Huo Ting. He leaned against the sofa and readjusted his sitting position. His fish tail was like he was kneeling on the sofa. He looked at Huo Ting in front of him hesitantly.
"Of course, your sense of smell will be much more sensitive after you become a merman."
After being prompted by the system, Yu Mian sniffed gently and really found the wound accurately.
Alas, it's not a big problem. I can do it myself.
Yu Mian stretched out his hand almost against his will and pulled open the military uniform in front of him bit by bit, revealing the red-stained shirt inside.
"Hiss, is it bleeding again?"
The wound inside had obviously been treated urgently, but he probably didn't want to expose the situation to the people around him, or he might also not want to be noticed by the enemy, so he has been holding on until now even after bleeding.
"I probably put a lot of effort into catching your schoolbag to prevent the jar from breaking when we got home. So it's reasonable for you to help bandage the wound."
The system recalled that Huo Yan was so flustered that he almost didn't catch the schoolbag, and it was Huo Ting who helped catch it.
But that action would definitely affect the wound on his chest.
"Then he really loves his brother Huo Yan."
Although he never said anything soft, he still helped his brother directly even though he was injured, even though he didn't know what was in the schoolbag.
When Yu Mian reached out to handle the gauze, he felt as if he had discovered some little secrets behind this guy's cold face.
But think about it carefully, although Huo Yan's family often says that his cousin is hateful, their attitude of trust cannot be concealed at all.
So this guy, in the eyes of his family, is a very reliable existence.
Yu Mian couldn't help but look up at the eyebrows and eyes that were so close to him, and the next second he quickly lowered his head and continued to bandage and change the gauze carefully.
He was getting braver and braver.
Now if the other party wakes up and he is caught, it will be a complete failure.
After wiping all the blood stains with a cotton swab, Yu Mian lifted the guy's arm with some effort and tied the gauze on it circle by circle.
The progress of the task is actually almost completed.
To be honest, it's a bit exciting, but it's fun.
It's like quietly changing the dressing on a big tiger or some beast after giving it an anesthetic.
"It seems like it's almost over!"
Yu Mian finally finished the last round and couldn't help but sighed with satisfaction.
"YES, there are still three minutes, hurry up!"
The system also cheered.
"And why did my mental power increase!"
Just when Yu Mian's fingers accidentally slid across Huo Ting's body, he realized that the mental power he consumed had increased a lot.
The golden color was much richer. Could it be that the previous background prompt was true?
"Huh? Really?"
"It seems that this guy, he seems to... really be able to increase mental power."
Yu Mian soon discovered that as long as he touched Huo Ting, he could feel the endless mental power in his body.
It was this mental power that was so warm that it was a little hot.
"Fuck, what are you doing...?!"
The system was shocked to see the next second that its host actually reached out and grabbed Huo Ting's palm.
"Shake hands with the rescued person in a friendly manner, cough cough."
"It really went up!"
Yu Mian just wanted to experiment, and found that he actually guessed it right.
Oh my god!
From this moment on, Yu Mian's eyes suddenly changed when looking at Huo Ting in front of him.
If shaking hands can be like this, if he secretly hugs him, wouldn't his mental power soar directly! ?
"Fuck, what are you doing! Hurry up, the mission will be over in 2 minutes!"
So the system found strangely that its host, who was quite resistant and afraid of Huo Ting a moment ago, suddenly looked at Huo Ting with extremely hot eyes.
"Ah, only two minutes left? When will you release this task next time?"
Yu Mian was prompted by the system, and immediately put an end to his eager attempt to continue the experiment. He
even suddenly felt a little unfinished.
If the rewards for this kind of task are so good, it wouldn't hurt to do it a few more times...
"Hurry up, pack up the boxes, and put your clothes back on!"
The system suddenly felt something was wrong.
It seemed that its host had opened the door to some dangerous experiment.
"Here we go!"
So Yu Mian held the guy's hand while quickly packing up the gauze and scattered props on the side.
"..."
The system looked at this scene, and the database was a little hot for a while.
It was like taking care of a kindergarten kid, and they had to hold hands to apply medicine to each other.
How shameful!
"I'm done, I'm going home!"
Just as Yu Mian finished packing, he saw the system quickly pushing the box back into the cabinet.
"Uh...?"
Yu Mian tried to pull his hand back, but found that he couldn't move it no matter how hard he tried.
? ? ?
I, I seem to be held! ?
Yu Mian's heart stopped beating for a moment, and he looked down at his palm, which was held tightly without knowing when.
Compared with Yu Mian's hands that had never done any heavy work, Huo Ting's bony palms were extremely rough, and even the skin color was obviously darker.
At the moment when the opponent was completely in his palm, Yu Mian had no chance to escape.
! ? ?
"Help... why don't you let go?"
Yu Mian was so anxious that he looked up at Huo Ting who was close to him the next second.
But he was shocked to find that Huo Ting had opened his eyes without knowing the time!
The dark pupils made Yu Mian stop breathing for a moment.
[No, no, don't panic! The backstage did not trigger the alarm, he did not wake up completely, this was just an instinctive behavior in his subconscious! ]
The small system quickly detected it, and the shouting sound made Yu Mian come back to his senses instantly.
