Chapter 2 Chapter 2 The light screen floating in the air...
The light screen floating in the air did not receive a response for a long time. It silently adjusted its angle and floated in front of the host who was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands.
[…We sense your strong reluctance and are pleased to present the ultimate gift of this game – the Wish Box]
Wen Qian, who caught the key words, looked up instantly and read the "Letter from the Creator to the Player" carefully.
To sum it up in one sentence, play the game carefully and you will get a mysterious gift.
She couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, maybe she could still go back?
Whether she can go back or not, her coming to this world is destined.
With the help of the novice tutorial, Wen Qian reviewed his current personality.
This body is the new game account that Wen Qian opened.
Because it was a newly opened account, everything had not been set up yet, and the system copied her own physical data.
In the game, when a character is created, the system will randomly generate a background identity and the school to which he belongs.
Wen Qian, who had barely calmed down, remembered the student card he found in his pocket. It seemed that the college he was randomly assigned to was the Holy Thorn Royal College.
As for his identity—Wen Qian looked at the identity panel that she had ignored.
Looking at the three big words "Poor and Excellent Student" stamped in red, Wen Qian felt like the sky was falling!
What a devilish start! She's already a game character. Can't she be the daughter of a wealthy man or a member of a scholarly family?
At least you can come from a middle-class family, why would you be a poor but excellent student!
[Zi——The player's question has been detected, the system is making a judgment——]
The red stamp on the character panel slowly disappeared, and Wen Qian couldn't contain his excitement.
I didn’t expect this system to be so humane. It’s good that it can be re-evaluated.
She just smiled, and the next second, the smile froze into a mask.
[Judgment successful, intelligence points do not meet the requirements, the title of poor and excellent student is revoked, and a new title has been issued. Please claim it in your mailbox]
In the empty mailbox, the title of "Poor Student" is extremely eye-catching.
Wen Qian's face was expressionless. What had she just said? Retract!
Seeing that his title had changed to a poor student, Wen Qian felt subtly that his IQ was insulted.
This feeling becomes even clearer after seeing a long string of single-digit numbers on the numerical surface.
[Name]: Wen Qian (Level: 1)
【Identity】：Student
[Pre-professional]: Not yet enabled (unlocked at level 5)
[Physical Strength]: 80/100 (decreasing↓)
Intelligence: 2
Strength: 1
Agility: 1
A long string of single-digit numbers glowing red, so shabby it makes one want to cry.
The initial value of this game is randomly generated, with the highest initial value being 10 and the lowest being 1.
Yes, in a sense, Wen Qian's set of numbers is also the ultimate manifestation of luck.
Although it is reflected in the opposite direction.
Wen Qian silently slid slowly onto the sofa. At this moment, it didn't matter whether he traveled through time or not, or whether he played games or not.
Haha, for someone with only 2 intelligence points, what is there to struggle about?
The system panel silently wavered in front of Wen Qian's eyes, trying to make her notice the red dot on the taskbar.
"Don't make any noise, I'm thinking." Wen Qian said expressionlessly, "People with only 2 intelligence points can't read."
[…Detected that the player has reached 50% Chinese proficiency, a reward is hereby issued. Please claim it in your mailbox.]
Wen Qian, having grasped the key words, jumped up and said in disbelief, "What do you mean by 50% proficiency? I was born and raised in China, are you kidding me?"
The system said nothing, and threw out a super unpopular classical Chinese article that it had found from somewhere.
[Please translate the entire text within three minutes. After completion, a new round of intelligence assessment will be conducted.]
"Three minutes, you did it on purpose, didn't you?!" Wen Qian choked, shocked by the system's shady trick.
Forget it, don’t bother with it. She opened the system mailbox and received the 50% reward for Chinese proficiency.
[Reward has been received, intelligence point +1]
After receiving the reward, Wen Qian opened the taskbar - the string of red dots on the taskbar was really hard for a player to resist clicking on.
[Newbie Task - Please get a B rating or higher in the opening test (Requirements: Intelligence 10+, Physical 50+)]
[Clearance Rewards: Gold +100, Experience +20, Intelligence +2, Random Attribute Points +2]
"Ten points of intelligence?" Wen Qian's voice rose. "Who balanced this game? I only have three points of intelligence right now!"
"What will happen if the mission fails?" She couldn't help but start thinking about the worst-case scenario.
[Failure of the mission will result in the inability to regain the title of "Poor Excellent Student". As a student enrolled as a poor excellent student, losing this title will trigger an expulsion event.]
Wen Qian's face froze. What kind of thing was this? Dropping out of school right after the start of the semester?
As the game takes place in a school setting, she didn't dare to think about what would happen if she was expelled.
Will the mission fail directly?
Thinking of this possibility, Wen Qian immediately sat up straight, opened the task section of the game, and decided to brush up on his numerical points before the school exam.
At least get your intelligence points back first!
Before entering the school, most of the tasks were in a gray and unopened state, and the only lit task caught Wen Qian's eye.
[Weekly Task - Reading Books (0/10)]
Wen Qian stood up, looked around, and fixed his eyes on the schoolbag next to the bedside table.
The small room made even the bed seem extremely cramped, so there was naturally no possibility of having something like a bookcase. Fortunately, Wen Qian had only graduated, not mutated.
She hasn't forgotten that there are books in her schoolbag.
Wen Qian opened his schoolbag with full confidence, but his expression froze. There was nothing in the empty schoolbag except a pen.
Although this is her game character, this character is set to be a student after all. How could there be no books in a student's backpack?
Under Wen Qian's incredulous gaze, a light green box introducing the item slowly floated out above the schoolbag.
[An old schoolbag with a considerable capacity. P.S.: its owner hasn't put anything in it except pens yet. Perhaps after the new books are distributed at the beginning of the school year, it will show its proper use as a schoolbag.]
Wait, new books will be distributed at the beginning of the school year.
Wen Qian suddenly realized that he hadn't gone to school and his expression froze. Could it be today...
The late emperor forgot to go to school before he had even started his business.
Wen Qian had to give up the shortcut of looking for books in his schoolbag and carefully observed his own residence, trying to find some hidden gems of knowledge in some corner.
Wen Qian searched from the entrance hall to the stove on the balcony, but he didn't even find a piece of paper.
This house is so empty that it looks like a model house. There is no sign that anyone has ever lived in it. It is so simple that the space still looks so small visually.
Wen Qian realized belatedly that this seemed to be the player's initial hut in the game.
The difference between the scenes in the game and reality was so great that she ignored this point.
The hut in the game also has this layout, but with the backdrop of the three-headed Q-version character, the small space only gives people a warm and cute feeling.
In reality, this area is so shabby that it makes people want to cry.
Wen Qian, who had been busy running back and forth for a long time but couldn't find a book, finally gave up.
She slumped on the bed, her eyes vacant. "This is too much! How can a student not have a single book at home? Even if it's a game character... a game!"
Wen Qian turned over and sat up, looking energetic as if he had discovered a new continent.
Yes, this is a game, why should she find it herself?
Open the system panel, click on the task section, and the reading book task bar appears in front of Wen Qian again.
Her eyes were fixed on the book icon on the task bar, and as she expected, there was a small magnifying glass in the lower right corner of the icon.
Clicking the magnifying glass, a string of illusory arrows instantly appeared on the floor - the same arrows that had guided her back home before.
The arrow points all the way out the gate.
When she walked downstairs, Wen Qian's mentality was very different from when she came. When she returned to her residence from the school gate, she just hurried on her way and had no time to pay attention to the surrounding shops, so naturally she ignored the strangeness of these shops.
Now that he has figured out the reason why he came here, Wen Qian has a somewhat relaxed attitude - since he is here, he might as well live his life.
She followed the arrow on the sidewalk and paused when she saw a noodle shop nearby.
Isn't this the store in the game?
In the game, the streets, residences, and schools are divided into several sections, but I didn’t expect that in reality, they were right downstairs from her.
With the mentality of wanting to see how the scenes in the game would be reflected in reality, Wen Qian turned around and pushed the door into the noodle shop.
"Welcome!" The chubby noodle shop owner said the inherent lines in the game with a smile.
Wen Qian looked at the interior decoration of the noodle shop in amazement. The familiar cream-yellow tables and chairs, and the small blackboard next to the front desk with today's special noodles written on it.
There were usually two or three NPC customers sitting in the store. Wen Qian didn't pay attention to those customers who lowered their heads and couldn't see their faces clearly. He just looked up and looked at the boss carefully.
The boss is exactly the same as in the game, except that it has changed from a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional image.
Even the standby posture of lowering the head and not knowing what to do is exactly the same.
The noodle shop owner didn't seem to care about the new customer. After saying the welcome speech, he went about his own business until Wen Qian approached him, then he spoke again.
"What do you want to eat? Beef noodles are on special today."
Oh, another fixed line from the game.
Wen Qian suddenly became very curious about whether these NPCs that appeared in the game could trigger other conversations after becoming real people.
She tentatively asked, "Boss, have you always run a shop here?"
"Yeah." The boss nodded, and suddenly revealed a distressed expression. "Alas, I'm the only one in the noodle shop, and I'm really overwhelmed. The worker who delivered the flour today was also injured..."
An extremely conspicuous question mark appeared above the noodle shop owner's head.
When Wen Qian heard the boss's answer, he said it was impossible not to be surprised. After all, for a player, it was a very surreal thing that the familiar game NPC suddenly became a real person and could talk to you.
This also gave her a sense that the game had truly become the real world. After all, this boss was the first NPC she had encountered that had appeared in the game.
Until the noodle shop owner said the following words to himself.
Looking at the question mark above the other person's head, Wen Qian's mouth twitched.
Such a familiar tone of voice, such a familiar task logo.
Just walking around and running into someone who wants to ask for your help is just too much of a game...
Wen Qian used his consciousness to click on the question mark above the other person's head, and a green box suddenly popped up.
[Side Quest - The Noodle Shop Owner's Troubles]
[Flour is essential for a noodle shop. Boss Chen encountered a small difficulty today...]
[Please help Mr. Chen retrieve the flour. Mission Reward: Unlock the delicious dish [Beef Noodles], Gold +20, Experience +10]
"Boss, let me get it for you." Wen Qian did not forget that he was penniless at the moment.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you!" The boss immediately showed a grateful expression.
Looking at the tasks to be completed displayed on the background interface, Wen Qian opened the map instructions and changed the route from finding books to finding flour.
The young man in the corner frowned slightly, looked up at Wen Qian's departing back, and a hint of doubt flashed in his cold eyes.
Listening to the initial conversation between the girl and the boss, the two seemed unfamiliar with each other. But if they were not familiar with each other, why would the boss mention the flour to her, and why did she help the boss get the flour?
...weird boss and weird people.
