Chapter 55: Above the Wasteland (15) I can’t explain it clearly…



Breaths intertwined, hearts pounding like drums.

The other person's body temperature was transmitted through his fingertips. Although it was a little cool, he felt it was extremely hot.

In his more than twenty years of life, this was the second time that Qi Feng was so close to the opposite sex.

The first time was when I was a child. It’s not a good memory, so let’s not talk about it.

But this time, both parties are adults.

Although he had never considered love before, he roughly knew that touch between opposite sexes was romantic.

However, at this moment, the blind date that his family had found for him was cornering him, pinching his chin with one hand and bargaining with him in a vulgar manner.

For a moment, Qi Feng couldn't tell whether he should be angry at her frivolous attitude, or the subtle feeling of role reversal between them, or whether she had done this to him just for that little bit of virtual currency and not to take advantage of him?!

"That's enough."

Qi Feng grabbed her wrist and spoke in an unhappy tone.

Qianyue: "Huh? Are you angry?"

Qianyue didn't really want to do anything to him, but seeing that Qi Feng seemed genuinely angry, she let go. However, the matter hadn't been settled yet, and she didn't want to give up halfway.

She flipped her hand and took the initiative, grabbing the hand that Qi Feng had used to grab her wrist. It was still her wrist that was grabbed. Qi Feng subconsciously tried to break free, but failed.

Qianyue smiled and asked, "So what do you think?"

Qi Feng took a deep breath: "...Let go."

Qianyue: "No."

Qi Feng said coldly, "Let go, or there's no room for negotiation."

Qian Yue didn't fall for his tricks and said with a half-smile, "Don't try to scare me. I know you can disappear. What if I let go and you run away?"

"..." An abnormal blush suddenly appeared on Qi Feng's face.

He really thought so.

He couldn't win over Qianyue with words, and was instead irritated by her. Although he was in the virtual world he created, Qi Feng felt a headache.

I don’t know where his mother found this bad fate for him.

Seeing Qianyue holding him tightly, Qi Feng could only explain: "These prices are recorded and uniformly stipulated by the backend data. Even I cannot change the prices at will."

"You can't do it either?" Qianyue frowned slightly, not quite believing Qi Feng's words. She paused and asked again: "But don't you have a favorability system?"

She had seen someone say on the forum before that if the player accumulated enough favorability with the characters, they could get some convenience when dealing with the corresponding characters.

The most common one is price reduction.

But Qianyue paused after saying this. She let go of his hand and stepped back with a dull look, muttering, "Forget it. I guess you don't have any feelings for me either."

Qi Feng: “…” Quite self-aware.

But for some reason, Qi Feng felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart when he heard her say that.

Ignoring the irritation in his heart, Qi Feng straightened his clothes that Qianyue had messed up, and explained with a stern face: "The favorability system only works for indigenous people. I am different from them. If you do this again in the future——"

Qianyue nodded seriously: "Yes, it is indeed different. You should look better."

Qi Feng was so surprised by the sudden praise that he was about to reprimand her, but for a moment he couldn't say anything. He finally paused for a moment and said uncomfortably, "...Thank you."

Qi Feng on this side was still feeling awkward, but Qian Yue on the other side, after knowing that there was no discount, her interest in Qi Feng suddenly dropped a lot.

She quickly clicked on the transaction button, sold all the miscellaneous items she had on her, and bought some tools.

She moved swiftly and without any hesitation, and even her attitude towards Qi Feng became much more distant, as if the person who had just cornered him and pinched his chin was not her.

Before leaving, Qianyue waved her hand behind him and said, "Remember to explain our relationship to your mother as soon as possible, so I can report to my mother as well."

Qi Feng: “…”

Although I know that Qianyue meant for him to discuss the rejection, why did her words sound so easy to be misunderstood?

Looking at the other person's back, Qi Feng felt that this matter seemed to be becoming increasingly unclear.

After the fourth copy is completed.

The technical staff of the "Ten-Day Plan" project team gathered together for a group meeting as usual.

According to past practice, they would collect the videos recorded by staff from all parties when they participated in the internal test and conduct integrated analysis - yes, in fact, Qi Feng was not the only staff member participating in the game's internal test.

Most of them would pretend to be the natives of the dungeon, or temporary players - anyway, players don't know how many people are in a dungeon, and they can't notice any difference between these staff and them.

However, Qi Feng's role is quite special, being the only NPC in the entire game that can cross dungeons. Therefore, his recorded videos are usually the focus of observation in group meetings.

At this time, Qi Feng was sitting at the first seat in the conference room, watching his own video recording with others with an expressionless face.

The entire screen was divided into two parts, one for the first-person perspective and the other for the third-person perspective. The two perspectives put together were a bit overwhelming, especially with the high-speed operation, making it even more dizzying. However, the technical staff had obviously long been accustomed to it, and everyone looked calm.

The conference room was very quiet. After the video started, the staff stopped talking and looked at the big screen quietly, occasionally lowering their heads to write something in their notebooks.

When someone saw Qianyue appear, the tip of his pen paused.

The players might not know this, but the staff were all too familiar with Qianyue's face. It was she who had accidentally ripped off the boss's cape, causing the forum to explode and forcing them to work overtime.

It turns out that when a group of office workers are forced to work overtime, no face of the culprit will be easily forgotten.

Later, there was hair pulling and hat hitting. Although it did not cause a sensation on the Internet again, it caused quite a stir among the participants.

So now when they saw Qianyue's face appear, everyone subconsciously glanced at the end of the long table.

Qi Feng, who was suddenly surrounded by people, said: "..."

The handsome man leaned back in his chair expressionlessly, his whole body exuding the same cold aura that kept people at a distance. His expression was as calm as if he didn't know this person at all.

but……

The others exchanged furtive glances.

It looks suspicious no matter how you look at it!

The video on the screen was still playing. Qianyue had already walked up to Qi Feng and asked him for a deal.

But at this moment, the third-person picture suddenly froze on a wall, as if the two people had entered a blind spot in the camera. At the same time, there seemed to be a problem with the recorded sound, and suddenly there was a lot of electrical noise.

Someone asked, "What's going on?"

"Could it be that the camera function is malfunctioning again?"

"There's also a problem with the sound recording. It sounds like electromagnetic interference."

"That shouldn't be the case. It was fine when we checked it two days ago."

Everyone quickly turned on their computers to connect to the backend data. Similar things had happened before, so they didn't suspect anything.

However, within a few seconds, the first-person view suddenly went black.

No, it's not black.

It seemed as if something was covering Qi Feng's eyes from top to bottom - because the eyes were a first-person perspective, the camera was also positioned near Qi Feng's eyes, but now that it was blocked by that thing, the field of vision was significantly reduced, which looked somewhat similar to the situation when Qi Feng was wearing a conical hat before.

Wait, a bamboo hat?

The art and modeling team were the first to react.

All the clothes Qi Feng wore in the game were designed and produced by them, so they remembered clearly that the jacket Qi Feng wore in this copy had a hood.

In this situation, is Qi Feng putting on the hood himself?

But he knew that the hood was just a decoration and would block the camera, so why did he still wear it?

The noise of the electric current became increasingly louder, but one could still detect a few sounds, a female voice being particularly noticeable.

"I don't want anyone to know..."

“…It all happened.”

"Hmm~"

The screen shook slightly, and then a sudden moaning sound frightened everyone into perking up their spirits.

The mosaic of electric currents imbued a pure interjection with a meaning it shouldn't have. Everyone in the office pricked up their ears.

——What’s going on?!

——It was a wrong decision.

Qi Feng realized almost instantly that the audio distortion effect here seemed not to be handled properly, so that the sound was not completely covered up. The feeling of trying to cover up the truth made things develop in another even stranger direction.

He groaned inwardly, feeling something was amiss. He frowned with a serious expression on his face, quickly raised his hand and called for a pause, "What's going on? Pause for a moment—"

But it was too late.

The first-person perspective seemed to tremble again, and then a female voice rang out from the speakers. The distortion effect combined with the crackling sound of electricity, like the whisper of a siren, and for a moment everyone could hear a husky and alluring feeling.

"Be good..."

Everyone:!!!

Is it so exciting?

However, the onlookers didn't wait for the sequel. Soon, the last bit of light disappeared, and the first-person perspective screen went completely black.

Someone quickly tried to adjust it and found that the black screen had lasted for about ten minutes. When the picture returned to normal, Qi Feng had appeared in another place.

"this……"

Everyone looked at each other.

Both camera interfaces failed simultaneously, and even the audio recording was malfunctioning. They had encountered this situation before—but that was a long, long time ago. Given their current situation, it shouldn't have collapsed like this.

So what is it?

“…”

On the surface, the conference room was silent.

In fact, there is a lot of chatter in the private group without a boss.

But Qi Feng seemed completely unaffected and said seriously, "I think the program is messed up. I'll go and take a look myself later."

He did something bad with his own hands, so it would be bad to make others work overtime. But he had to go and see it himself, right?

However, Qi Feng did not show it, as if he knew nothing.

He bent his knuckles and tapped the table twice, his expression calm as he said, "Just jump to the next paragraph."
