Chapter 45 Otome Game "Among them, Ruan Liang is the most popular male...
“When I first entered the game, I had my doubts when I heard the name and background of the dungeon…”
"Ruan Liang... this name is exactly the same as that game..."
Ji Lin spoke hesitantly, with his head lowered, and he wished he could get under the table.
Seeing this, Cecilia stopped and prepared to leave, leaned over the desk, and stared into the other person's eyes.
She lowered her voice and asked, "What do you know about abnormal love?" Unaccustomed to looking people in the eye, Ji Lin stuttered even more. She nodded hesitantly and continued, "Although I have never played the House of Truth, I have some knowledge of otome games."
As if she was afraid that Cecia didn't understand, she also went out of her way to explain: "Otome games are dating simulation games for women. Players can interact with multiple male protagonists in the game and develop emotional relationships."
"Abnormal Love is a popular otome game recently, and it has received good reviews in the industry. It is said that the game plot is innovative, the male protagonist has a distinct character, and the style of the character portraits is gorgeous, which has won the love of a large number of players."
"Among them, Ruan Liang is the most popular male protagonist."
?
Two heads and wrinkled skin... can this be called gorgeous? Does she have some misunderstanding about gorgeous?
Is this image still the most popular?
Cecia fell into self-doubt.
When Chen Ye first saw her, he was so scared that he screamed. However, Ruan Liang's bald monster image could become the most popular character among humans...
Could it be that the aesthetic tastes of demons and humans are completely opposite?
"Also, the teacher who taught the class just now is also a popular character in the game. He is gentle and polite, and treats students very kindly. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask him for help."
"In his portrait, he wears gold-rimmed glasses, which makes him look like a gentleman but a bad guy, so his popularity has remained high."
After hearing Ji Lin's description, Cecilia began to doubt her life even more.
That teacher has hundreds of eyes. How many pairs of glasses does he need to wear?
"...You humans, do you like this kind of monster image?"
She really couldn't help but voice out the doubts in her mind.
"Monster? What are you talking about?"
Ji Lin was puzzled and looked up at Cecia for a rare moment.
“The background of this game is modern, and there are no horror or supernatural elements.”
Hearing this, Cecia was even more unsure about the human definition of "horror". She said tactfully: "Don't you think... Ruan Liang looks a little different from other people?"
"No, if I have to say, it's just that he's handsome. You can tell he's the protagonist at first glance."
After chatting with Cecia for a long time, Ji Lin relaxed a little. She glanced at Cecia and whispered, "Actually, I have never played abnormal love, but it is so popular that I know some information."
"Its players are all saying online that the plot is sweet, and it should be a warm and healing game. If we use it as the background of the dungeon, our lives will not be in danger."
If only… She didn't feel healed.
The class bell rang, and Cecia returned to her seat, facing Ruan Liang with two heads again.
From early morning to dusk, she only found Ji Lin as a human. During the rest of the time, she was in class and she was annoyed by the sound of turning pages.
Finally, the class was over, and Cecilia dragged her tired body and moved slowly in the dormitory corridor.
She had never received a formal education since she was a child, and had always been alone outside. She learned all her fighting skills in the Colosseum. When Catherine took her back to the demon tribe, she was too old and her fighting system was already formed, so it was not suitable for her to go to school to receive education...
All in all, this is her first time going to school.
Although she just sat at her desk and listened to the class from beginning to end and didn't even need to stand up, she just felt extremely tired, and exhausted both physically and mentally - even more tiring than hunting monsters!
If she had to attend classes every day in this copy, she really wanted to go back quickly, and she might as well handle official business in the Demon Clan.
"Room number 404..."
After taking the key given to her by the dormitory manager, she carried her schoolbag and went to find her room.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that those books were as heavy as gold and made her arms hurt.
After finally finding the room, Cecia turned the key and pushed the door with her right hand...but didn't push it open completely.
The door seemed to be blocked by something and could only be pushed open a crack.
She was already tired after a day of classes, and now she just wanted to go to bed, but even this wish was blocked. In frustration, she kicked the door hard and forced it open.
"ah--"
The clatter of a chair falling to the ground drowned out the tiny scream.
The dormitory door was finally pushed open completely, and Cecilia and a palm-sized doll met eyes.
The doll is a cute little brown bear with obvious stitches on its limbs and two black eyes on its face, exuding a silly and cute aura.
It was originally standing on the chair, but as the chair tipped over, it unfortunately fell onto the cold ground.
When he saw someone coming in, a trace of panic flashed in the teddy bear's eyes. He quickly fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, lying on the ground motionless, trying to conceal his true identity.
Unfortunately, its disguise was very poor. At the moment of falling, the little guy seemed to have hurt his legs, and his chubby little feet twitched on the ground, like a cute little bread trembling slightly.
Cecilia squatted down and picked up the teddy bear.
Realizing that his disguise had been discovered, the little guy immediately began to flutter, with his limbs tumbling in the air, trying to break free from the restraints, but it was just a futile struggle.
The body wrapped in soft cloth and stuffed with cotton kept kicking Cecilia's hands, but she didn't feel any pain. Instead, it felt soft to the touch, making people want to rub it a few more times.
"Don't touch me! Bad guy!"
The bear teddy bear cried in a baby voice, its two pea-sized eyes wide open, glaring at Cecilia, but without any killing power.
"Where did you take my Xiaobai? I want Xiaobai!"
"Xiaobai, who is that?"
Holding the little guy in front of her, Cecia asked.
"Don't say you don't know! Xiaobai is the heroine of an abnormal love story! And I am the doll she carries with her!"
The stuffed bear put its hands on its hips and hummed complacently, as if it was proud of its identity.
"Judging from your appearance, you should also be a player. Was it you who used trickery to kidnap Xiaobai and wanted to take her place? I tell you, this is wishful thinking, uh-huh!"
The little fellow was halfway through his words when Cecia thought it was too noisy and covered his mouth with a finger. The poor child could only make meaningless whimpering sounds.
[Dear player, do you want to team up with player "Duan Zhao"? ]
Sure enough, the use of "also" means that it is also a player.
Hearing the prompt tone, Cecia picked up the doll again and looked at its palm-sized body.
The other party's eyes were full of protest, and he waved his little paws hard, but he couldn't break free from this sudden "ban".
[Player "Duan Zhao" has rejected your application. ]
"I won't team up with you, I want to find Xiao Bai!"
The mouth was opened, and the doll turned its head away angrily, deliberately avoiding looking at Cecilia.
"I don't know how you got me here, but Xiaobai is unique. Only she can win the favor of the male protagonists. No one can replace her."
"I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"This... lovely doll lady."
Cecilia drawled out the words, with a half-smile on her face.
"You must have misunderstood something. I never thought of replacing your 'Xiaobai', but the identity of the copy distributed to me is a transfer student. This is not something I can decide."
“But…but…”
The doll looked stiff, and stammered "but" several times, but couldn't explain the reason.
"This is a copy of House of Truth, not the original Abnormal Love. Since this game is used as the background, it is normal for players to play the role of the game characters."
"After all, you don't look like a teddy bear in real life, do you?"
"You...what you said seems to make sense..."
Hearing this, the doll muttered softly and scratched its head embarrassedly.
"So, can you tell me what you know?"
Cecilia was calm and handled the teddy bear easily.
"When I woke up, I found myself in a dungeon. The name of the dungeon was the same as my favorite game, and the background was exactly the same as the plot of the game. I hurriedly confirmed my identity, but I saw the appearance of a teddy bear through the mirror."
The teddy bear gestured as he spoke, and his furry paws drew several arcs in the air.
"I know this teddy bear. In the game, it is Xiaobai's favorite doll and she always carries it with her. Since I'm not with Xiaobai, it means she is probably in danger. I want to leave the room and go find her."
"But the doors and windows of the room were locked. I was trapped for a whole day and tried many things, but to no avail. I finally climbed onto a chair and was trying to reach the door handle when you came back and scared me..."
"So you know a lot about abnormal love?"
The teddy bear talked a lot, and Cecia automatically filtered out the useless information and asked the most important part. "Of course! I have completed every line in the game several times, and I know all the hidden information! With me, you can definitely walk sideways in the dungeon!"
The teddy bear patted his chest and assured Cecia.
"Do you know Ruan Liang?"
Putting the little guy on the table, Cecilia sat down and asked.
"You ask this to a veteran player like me. Do you look down on me?"
The teddy bear took two steps forward and approached Cecilia's finger unhappily.
"Ruan Liang is the most popular male protagonist in Abnormal Love. Even laymen who have never played the game know him. He has a sunny and cheerful personality, a classic prince character!"
After hearing the other party's description, Cecia recalled Ruan Liang's appearance and found that he did not look like a prince at all.
"The Ruan Liang route is very easy to play. As long as you choose to shake hands in the first encounter option, his favorability will rise sharply, and you can quickly reach a happy ending! I suggest you choose this route, and we can get out of the dungeon immediately..."
The teddy bear kept talking, and noticed from the corner of his eye that Cecia's face was not very good. The little guy was stunned for a moment and asked softly: "Today is over the first encounter plot, what did you choose?"
