As soon as Jiang Liyue exited the dungeon, a series of rewards popped up.
She only noticed the words "Paper Village instance is closed".
"So dungeons can be closed too?" Jiang Liyue asked, somewhat puzzled.
You've sent all the NPCs away; the dungeon has to be closed.
A line of red blood-red text suddenly appeared on Jiang Liyue's phone.
The words written in blood were just as bright red and glaring as the ones she had seen when she first entered the game instance.
Although she showed no emotion, she inexplicably sensed a hint of grievance in those words.
"I'm just trying to complete the mission," Jiang Liyue muttered to herself without a hint of guilt.
The blood-red text flashed twice, then disappeared completely from the screen in anger.
Surprisingly, she even has a bit of a temper.
Game system: You've destroyed my dungeon, can't I even have a little temper?!
Jiang Liyue opened the forum for the eerie game and was surprised to find people discussing the disappearance of the Paper Doll Village instance on the homepage. She quickly closed the forum.
Well, she doesn't know anything.
Just as Jiang Liyue was about to close the forum and ignore it, Huang Linye's message popped up: [Sister Yue, are you there?]
Jiang Liyue: [What is it?]
Huang Linye was obviously waiting for her reply in front of the screen, and immediately sent over a long message.
My dad is planning to recruit some skilled players to host a gathering, and I was thinking you could come and exchange ideas.
If you come, I can send a private plane to pick you up.
Many top players from various dungeons will be attending this event, sharing their experiences and knowledge. It's by private invitation only, so rest assured, everyone's identity will be well protected.
Jiang Liyue wasn't particularly interested in meeting other players, nor did she want to learn about their experiences.
Just as I was about to refuse, Huang Linye sent me a photo from the last banquet.
There was even a seafood feast and a lavish dinner!
Since the strange occurrences began, food supplies in the real world have been dwindling.
Jiang Liyue: ...
When are you going?
She was definitely not interested in food; she simply wanted to interact with the players.
Um.
Huang Linye was clearly very happy, assuming she had been attracted by the gaming expert.
[Just half a month later, another player who had suddenly risen on the leaderboard during this period also arrived, and coincidentally, they even share your last name!]
Jiang Liyue had never even looked at the points leaderboard.
She casually replied "okay," and then the doorbell rang.
She guessed it was the takeout she had ordered, but when she opened the door, she found a tall, handsome man with a pale face standing outside.
He was wearing a black suit, and on his exposed wrist was a mechanical watch, his wrist bony and with distinct knuckles.
In the darkness, his skin was almost translucent white, and his eyes had a dark green tinge, making him look deep and mysterious.
"Who are you?" Jiang Liyue tilted her head and blinked in surprise.
She was certain that neither she nor the original owner of this body knew this handsome man.
The man smiled slightly, appearing dignified and polite: "Hello, I am Chu Li, the new neighbor who just moved in next door. Please take care of me in the future. This is a gift I prepared for my neighbor."
"Hello, I'm Jiang Liyue. Thank you for your gift, you're too kind."
Despite saying that, Jiang Liyue still gracefully and naturally accepted the black paper bag he was carrying.
During the exchange of gifts, Chu Li's hand inadvertently touched the back of her hand.
It felt like being touched by a slippery, cold-blooded animal.
Jiang Liyue felt herself being watched by a burning gaze.
But when she looked up at Chu Li, his gaze was distant yet polite.
There was none of the intense, almost morbid, love that Jiang Liyue was used to in the game.
She tentatively asked, "I don't have anything prepared at home, Mr. Chu, would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"
Chu Li politely declined, saying, "I won't bother you any longer. Maybe next time."
They actually refused?!
Jiang Liyue couldn't help but despise herself in her heart.
Could it be that she's been playing too many dungeons, giving her the illusion that all the handsome men in the world like her?
Jiang Liyue reflected deeply on her actions, then smiled warmly and said politely, "Okay, you must come visit next time!"
"Okay." Chu Li took a step back. "It's getting late, Miss Jiang, goodnight."
"Good night." Jiang Liyue waved her hand, appreciatively watching Chu Li's retreating figure.
Look how polite and gentlemanly he is.
Completely different from the yandere boss in the dungeon who climbs into her bed the moment they meet!
Thinking this, Jiang Liyue closed the door.
When she got home, she opened the black gift bag and found a painting inside.
The painting depicts a vibrant sea of roses in full bloom, and next to the frame, there is a single, fresh rose.
The vibrant roses looked as if they had just been picked.
Flower cakes should taste delicious.
As Jiang Liyue was thinking this, she reached to the bottom of the gift bag and found something else. When she took it out, she was surprised to find that it was actually a flower cake!
Her eyes lit up instantly.
These items are not expensive and are suitable as gifts for new neighbors.
It has to be said that Chu Li is a very considerate man.
Unbeknownst to Jiang Liyue, after she closed the door, the considerate man Chu Li stood in front of it for a long time, his eyes growing increasingly dark and dangerous.
A black mist, invisible to ordinary people, spread out from behind him and entered Jiang Liyue's room through the door.
He wrapped his arm around her wrist and rubbed it affectionately and carefully.
"Yueyue, Yueyue, I miss you so much..." Chu Li's expression gradually became sickly, her eyes were flushed with red, and she looked unsatisfied.
"Yueyue, we promised each other we'd never be apart."
"I've found you."
