"Qiaomuyi's bond level rises!"

When Ren Suo was awakened by the warm sun, the bond system suddenly gave him this prompt.

Is it information that accumulated while you were sleeping, or is it information that just appeared?

No, the point is why the bond suddenly upgraded when I was sleeping... Can this bond also be upgraded while idle?

Ren Suo shook his head, threw back the quilt, stood in front of the window and stretched out his body, his bones clacking. He let his face bathe in the sun's rays and sighed, "A day's plan begins in the morning."

“Ding—dong—dong—”

As the bell for the eighth class of Tianlian College rang, Ren Suo's phone started ringing:

"Wait till I tear open half of this universe of morning and evening, and the three-foot green light will wash away the smoke and dust~"

Ren Suo glanced at the incoming call message, answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, are you awake? I waited until after class today to call you so as not to wake you up." Ren Xingmei's nagging voice came from the phone: "You are so mean. You didn't even tell me that you were back. If it wasn't for Teacher Dong telling me that we were having a dinner party at her house today, I wouldn't have known that you were back... Do you still regard me as your sister?"

"Sisters can be divided into biological and non-biological ones..." Ren Suo kicked off his cotton slippers, yawned, and went to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"Oh?" Ren Xingmei's voice suddenly became dangerous: "Then what am I?"

"You're very capable... Gurgle..." Ren Suo said as he brushed his teeth, "I haven't gotten any points in a few days. I'm counting on you tonight... Gurgle..."

Ren Xingmei hummed twice, and seemed to be satisfied with Ren Suo's answer. She said, "By the way, brother, you have been out for so many days. Nothing strange has happened, right?"

"What else could be so strange? ... Spit!" Ren Suo spat out the mouthwash and said, "Would I bring you a sister-in-law?"

"You dare?!" Ren Xingmei said subconsciously, and then quickly added: "We have been practicing, studying, and writing papers in school these days, and you dare to have fun outside?"

"Hehe, silly sister, have you finally seen the ugly faces of adults?" Ren Suo laughed twice, and finally said: "You see I have to sleep for a whole day after I came back, you know I have been suffering these days, otherwise I would at least bring you a souvenir or something..."

"Speaking of which, brother, where have you been these days? What have you been doing? I couldn't contact you for a few days."

"Hmm? I didn't go anywhere special." Ren Suo rubbed his temple and said casually: "Anyway, I just did something that I had to do and was very troublesome... It's probably like when I helped you wash the sheets after you wet the bed when you were a kid..."

"See you at Mr. Dong's house later!"

Ren Xingmei hung up the phone angrily. Ren Suo scratched his head, washed his face and poured himself a cup of hot water. While drinking it, he thought - What on earth have I done in the past few days?

Strangely enough, he had no deep impression of the past eight days. The most memorable memory was that he had drunk white wine all night, cheated someone out of a meal of sushi, and had a mouthful of cake stuffed into his mouth in his dream this morning...

As for where he and Qiao Muyi had been working for the past eight days, Ren Suo thought about it for a few seconds before completely letting it go. Since he had forgotten it, he probably went to some boring place and did some boring things, or maybe he was playing with his phone while working...

Moreover, his earphones were broken, and even the "fuzzy mask" he had engraved only a few days ago was lost. What kind of unlucky days had he been through in the past eight days?

Ren Suo first turned on his computer and planned to deal with the questions and invitations on the intranet. He hadn't been on the intranet for eight days, so he might have missed a lot of questions that could earn him research points, such as what style of clothes the seekers liked to match, whether the seekers wore underwear, what color the seekers' ** were...

As soon as he logged into the intranet, he saw a question marked in red and pinned to the top of the [Mysterious Phenomenon] list:

《Federal Watcher Angel Zack was beaten for 4 hours! Is this a loss of morality or the extinction of humanity?》

What, Angel Zack was beaten up again?

When Ren Suo clicked on the post, he saw the angel Zack who was trapped in a pit and struggling to be reborn. The scene made Ren Suo hungry. It was like a pile of white cheese that was expanding due to being burned.

"…At 2 a.m. Tianjing time today, Federal Watcher Zach was suspected to be training global high-speed movement when he suddenly fought with a mysterious person in the Fanying area. The battle area extended all the way from the missile area to the Tokyo area, attracting the attention of countless citizens."

"Because of their fight, the 'First Global Supernatural Competition' originally planned to be held in the Missile Mountains' no-man's land was directly cancelled. The six supernatural organizations that had been stationed overnight in the Missile Mountains, the Xuan Kingdom Great Wall, the Federation Watchers, the Fanying Wuhun Hall, the EU Wizard Council, the Russian Winter Fort, and the South American United Steel Sun, all witnessed the angel Zach being beaten and suppressed by the mysterious man."

"The mysterious man could not be recorded by any observation instrument. His appearance was covered by a blurry darkness, and his gender and appearance could not be identified. It was even difficult to confirm whether he was a human. After beating up the angel Zack in Tokyo for four hours, the mysterious man quietly disappeared. Fortunately, their fight did not cause any casualties or property."

"No supernatural organization has come forward to claim responsibility for this incident."

Ren Suo continued to read, and the researchers' replies below were basically discussing the mysterious man's strength and identity. First, the mysterious man was able to beat up the angel Zach, so his strength was undoubtedly above level 5; second, the mysterious man would beat people up at the slightest disagreement, so his camp was probably chaotic evil.

Some people said that the mysterious man was a reinforcement brought by the monkey. Although the Monkey King had beaten up the angel Zach last time, the Monkey King had done it the second time, so when the mysterious man from the Asgard came down to earth, he tried his hand at the angel Zach. Some people said that the mysterious man came from a new supernatural force, probably called "the underworld" or "hell" or something like that, so he beat up the angel as soon as he arrived...

There were many different opinions, and no one could give a solid proof, so Ren Suo just watched the fun and thought that these few days were really lively, but it was a pity that he missed the live broadcast.

But what is this "First Global Supernatural Competition"? Ren Suo searched on the intranet and found that it looked like a military competition, but in fact it was a cross-border friendship among supernaturals from various countries.

The six supernatural organizations first gathered in Tokyo to eat and drink, then went to the Hida Mountains to soak in hot springs, and then went to the no-man's land to let loose and practice, and then they could return home to brag about each other. After all, it's easy to flatter people, and bragging in China is not considered awesome, but bragging in foreign countries is really awesome.

Moreover, the six supernatural organizations also sent out their idols, including the Taoist priest You Jian from Xuan Kingdom, the Queen of Darkness Caroline from Watcher, the Gunner Sakura Kyoko from Spirit Hall, the Lone Wolf Kader from Wizard Council, the Thunder Bear Ursa from Winterhold, and the Shadow Daze from Iron Sun...

Tsk, there is actually such an activity of eating and drinking at public expense! ?

Why didn't I encounter such a good thing, but instead I had to carry out a mission with Qiao Muyi for several days that made me so tired that I couldn't even remember it?

The data also introduced the intelligence of extraordinary people in various countries. Ren Suo clicked on it and took a look. He found that the paths to fame for national idols in all countries were similar: they all became heroes.

A superhero who brings hope to people.

You Jian spent more than a month traveling to more than a dozen cities across the country, destroying dozens of human trafficking dens, robbery gangs, and fraud gangs. His face could be seen in the news almost every day. He relied on his battle records to become a hero of the Xuan Kingdom who was admired by thousands of families.

Of course, with You Jian's brain, apart from killing people, he probably only has male chauvinism left. But it doesn't matter that he can't investigate the case. It seems that the Reneser investigation team temporarily listens to his deployment, with the help of extraordinary magic and the high efficiency of the national public security system's countermeasures system, they have directly created a god like You Jian.

The national idols in other countries are similar. Caroline killed many wealthy and evil people, and Sakura Anzi suppressed the extraordinary cult within Fanying...

After all, humans don't have any external enemies. If these heroes want to become famous, the only way left besides disaster relief is to eliminate the pests within the human race.

The world is too peaceful, it's hard for heroes to survive.

Haven’t you seen that the superheroes in animated movies can quickly become famous by defeating enemies like big monsters and aliens? But now there are no big monsters and no aliens... It’s not that they don’t exist, but they still can’t defeat Asgard, the World Tree, and the Three Gods.

So they had no choice but to bully the criminals who needed to be shot.

Ren Suo looked at it for a while and then turned off the computer. He checked the time and saw that it was not yet time for dinner, so he moved the Small World game console back to the TV cabinet in the living room and turned it on after a long time.

“In this small world, the joy is endless.”

This time, the startup tone sounded like a friendly greeting spoken word by a tired man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. It sounded a little happy, a little sad, and a little relieved.

Just a game console, but it has so many games.

Ren Suo secretly complained in his heart and decided to check whether "The Upside-Down World" had been uploaded. It had been eight days since he uploaded it. Should Master Mu and Xiaosuo have finished everything? The baby should be born soon, right?

However, as soon as he entered the main interface, multiple messages popped up: "The upload of the "Upside Down World" mission evaluation failed, and it is now being uploaded again..."

"The evaluation of the "Upside Down World" mission was settled incorrectly. We will settle it again..."

"The mission evaluation has been settled. Because the player's score triggered a hidden condition, all rewards have been reset. Please claim the new rewards."

"Failed to upload the evaluation of the "Upside Down World" mission."

"A serious and malicious bug has occurred in "Upside Down World", and it has now been permanently closed. This may cause some losses to players. Nesser Company expresses its deepest apologies for this (but the final right of interpretation belongs to Nesser Company)."

"All rewards for "Upside Down World" have been distributed."

After receiving this series of news, Ren was confused and decided to sort out his thoughts from the beginning.

After re-evaluating the task, his score triggered a hidden condition, so all the rewards were reset?

What do you mean? Did he get the wrong score when he cleared the level before?

But Ren Suo remembered that his score for completing "The Upside-Down World" had reached 90 points, which was a great achievement and it would be difficult to do better.

Could it be that when he settled the account again, the game console counted one more achievement for him, so he got extra points?

But now the game is gone, and it was eight days ago that Ren Suo cleared it, so he had naturally forgotten most of it and had no way of knowing whether he had really gotten extra points - he couldn't even remember whether he had asked his clone to put on clothes and work eight days ago.

These trivial things are forgotten as soon as you take a look at them.

But it is always a good thing to get a hidden reward. Ren Suo was not very interested in the exclusive reward "Erasure Certificate". Now that he has changed to a new reward, it couldn't be better.

But how can I describe this hidden reward...

"Black Coffin Devil"

"5-star character, exclusive abilities: 'Absolute Insight', 'Ice, Fire, Wind, Moon, Earth', 'Invulnerable', 'Quick Learning', 'Flickering Movement', 'Guardian of the Demon King', 'Fear Shock'..."

"Note: Depending on the situation, you may need to consume negative emotions or merit points when fighting the Black Coffin Demon King, otherwise the effect of the spell will be greatly reduced."

Judging from the statistics, the Black Coffin Demon King may not be the strongest, but he is undoubtedly the most versatile - flying, hiding, teleporting, ice, fire, wind, and earth, spatial movement, healing, protection, mental shock, and even "rapid learning", that is, learning other people's spells on the spot.

The qualifications of the Black Coffin Demon King may not be as good as Ren Han and the Seeker, but with his versatility and potential, he can definitely be ranked among the top characters in the game.

But this is a 5 star game character...

Ren Suo, who is still a level 4 player, has very complicated feelings.

At this time, Ren Suo discovered that in the notification information, the word "loss" in "may cause partial losses to players" was bold and even underlined, indicating that it could be clicked.

After Ren Suo clicks, the screen automatically jumps to the "Equipment Interface", and then the item details of "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" pop up directly.

He didn't understand what was going on, and only realized what was happening after watching it all the way to the end.

"But the summoning time is actually... cleared!?"

In the summonable time column of "Clear Spring Flowing Sound", the remaining time is 0!

Although Ren Suo couldn't quite remember how much time was left, it was definitely not 0!

How could he use it so thoroughly! ?

Ren Suo pursed his lips in unhappiness for quite a while, but only for a moment - although he couldn't use "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" in the game from now on, which meant that Ren Suo couldn't pass the level by brute force, but he wasn't the kind of person who had to cheat. He had managed to get through it even without "Clear Spring Flowing Sound" before.

The most important thing is that he has no place to complain, and the final right of interpretation of the small world still belongs to Nesser Company. If he continues to be angry, it will only add a little more negative emotion to himself.

And although he lost a little summoning time, he gained an extra game character that could not be summoned!

After using the Ah Q spirit to comfort himself, Ren Suo's attention immediately shifted to other places.

As soon as Ren Suo woke up, he heard the bond system reminding him that Qiao Muyi's bond had been upgraded.

But now he took a look and found that Qiao Muyi's bond was actually two levels of consecutive victory!

"Qiao Muyi, Level 5 bond, bond ability 'Devil Returns': can obtain pure safety, negative emotions that can be used as a universal energy source;"

"Derived Ability ①·Unique Protagonist: Consume negative emotions to enhance all spell effects (attack/move/heal/enhancement, etc.), up to 150% of the effect. At the same time, all spells can be given the 'unique' attribute, and all spells can kill enemies more effectively and efficiently."

"Derived ability ②·Accomplice: When the bonded person gains negative emotions, the player will gain an equal amount; similarly, when the player gains negative emotions, the bonded person will also gain an equal amount."

Ren Suo's first reaction after seeing this bond ability was - was its previous name called "Return of the Demon King"?

But the names of bond abilities are almost all four characters long, so it should be called this...

The enhancement effect of 'The Only One' has been increased from 50% to 150%, and an additional 'Accomplice' ability has been added.

That is to say, even if Ren Suo lay still at home, he would still be receiving a steady stream of negative emotions - Qiao Muyi, this little hedgehog, would definitely prick others everywhere and make them feel negative emotions.

As for Ren Suo, he felt that as a mascot loved by teachers and students, he would not have much chance to experience negative emotions.

bite.

"You received a message."

Ren Suo had just put down the controller and was about to start when he saw another message coming from the game console. However, it was already time for dinner, so he would deal with it when he got back tonight.

He kicked off his cotton slippers and left Dormitory Building No. 2, walked into Dormitory Building No. 1, and just happened to see Qiao Muyi waiting for the elevator.

"What a coincidence, you're here to eat too." Ren Suo greeted.

Qiao Muyi rolled her eyes, snorted and ignored him. When the elevator came and they walked in, Qiao Muyi suddenly said, "Can I borrow your phone?"

Ren Suo blinked. Although he didn't quite understand, he still unlocked the phone and handed it to her.

Qiao Muyi opened the photo album on her phone and found that Ren Suo was really tough. Apart from the silly emoticons, there were only a few photos of Dong Chengling, Ren Xingmei, Gu Yueyan, Xiao Jiu and others in the album.

However, during the six days from November 20 to November 25, his photo album was filled with many cherry blossoms...

Landscape photos.

Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Asakusa, Tokyo Skytree, Meiji Jingu Shrine... His photo album contains many street photos of these places. Some of the photos look like they were taken with the front camera, but there is no one in the photos.

All the precious moments, all the images worth reminiscing about, all the memories that we hoped would last forever... are gone.

Qiao Muyi thought about it, and the editor selected these photos and deleted them all without any attachment.

The moments of the past are certainly worth reminiscing about, but compared to a future filled with infinite possibilities, they are nothing.

"By the way." Qiao Muyi handed the bag in her hand to Ren Suo: "This is for you."

Ren Suo took it, took out the contents, and his eyes lit up immediately: "1000XM3?!"

"Aren't your headphones broken? I'll buy you a new one." Qiao Muyi said as she took a selfie with Ren Suo's phone.

"That's great, thank you. I didn't expect this could be reimbursed... I thought I had worked for nothing these few days!" Ren Suo touched the packaging box of the earphones. The packaging box of expensive earphones always felt very comfortable.

"Why did you do it in vain?"

Qiao Muyi smiled, returned the phone to him, and said, "Everything you have done will never be in vain."

"Also, this is not reimbursed by the Countermeasures Bureau. I bought it with my own money and gave it to you."

"ha?"

Ren Suo followed Qiao Muyi out of the elevator in a daze. He watched her ring the doorbell and said embarrassedly, "Well...thank you. How about I return the money to you..."

He was just a talker, just like he would encourage others to send red envelopes in a QQ group, but now Qiao Muyi really paid for the headphones, Ren Suo felt flattered.

"By the way, Xiao Suo." Qiao Muyi suddenly said, "I noticed that you haven't changed your phone screensaver for many days, so I changed it for you."

Um?

Ren Suo lowered his head and took a look, and found that the screen saver of his phone had been changed to a photo of Qiao Muyi.

Although it was a hasty selfie taken in the elevator, without any beauty filters or photo editing, Qiao Muyi's beauty was still fully displayed: her curved eyebrows and eyes concealed her charm, the corners of her mouth were raised with a proud smile, and her eyes were sharp and aggressive. She looked like a dazzling and blooming flower.

He responded subconsciously: "Well, sir..."

The door opened at this time.

"You're really not dead yet, Ren Suo." Zhao Huo, who opened the door, said in surprise when he saw Ren Suo. Ren Suo's face turned dark when he heard it.

Qiao Muyi stepped hard on Zhao Huo's foot, strode in, looked at Dong Chengling who came out of the kitchen, waved happily, raised the corners of her mouth, curved her eyebrows, and laughed softly:

"Cheng Ling, here I come."
