Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Watching My Level Suddenly Drop to 9.5...
Seeing his intelligence points suddenly dropped to 9.5, Wen Qian's eyes went dark.
After all this time, it turns out that out of her pitiful 2 initial intelligence points, 1 point was actually for school uniform bonus!
I laughed out of anger.
Wen Qian walked into the bathroom with a stern face. The bathroom was fully equipped with toiletries, and a cream-colored bathrobe was hanging on the wall.
[Obtain Yukata [Appearance]]
I stuffed all the school uniforms I had taken off into the washing machine. The washing machine turned on automatically, and a countdown bar of only one minute appeared on it.
After taking a shower, Wen Qian sat on the edge of the bed in a bathrobe and took out his empty schoolbag. The schoolbag, like the school uniform, was a special equipment. When wearing the schoolbag, the system backpack with only an initial ten slots would automatically expand to fifteen.
However, this was of no use to Wen Qian for the time being. After all, there was only a pitiful bowl of beef noodles and a blue cart in her backpack.
Nothing else.
Players of this game are very short on resources when they are new to the game, so being able to stock up on two items on the first day is a pleasant surprise.
Looking at her single-digit balance, Wen Qian sighed. She had to speed up and quickly reach level 5 to unlock the pre-career section.
She didn't want to faint in public in the academy because she had no money to buy food and her physical strength dropped to zero.
After walking out of the house, Wen Qian looked at his balance which was only in the single digits, and then looked at his still-excessive physical strength. He gritted his teeth and decided to walk to school.
————————
The entrance of the Holy Thorn Royal Academy was very different from what Wen Qian saw when he first arrived. The speeding cars and the arrogant laughter and chatter of the teenagers made Wen Qian sigh in his heart.
She never paid attention to the plot when playing this game. Every time the opening animation of school started, she would just frantically press the space bar with an expressionless face to skip it.
So much so that she knew almost nothing about the game's background setting - the most she knew was that the player was attending an aristocratic college.
Before entering the school gate, Wen Qian was still worried about where to report - should he report as a freshman?
The moment she saw the scene inside the school clearly, she threw her previous worries behind her.
It turned out that I was overthinking it. How could the game not have a guiding segment?
Among the magnificent buildings, the only lit building was the tall building marked "Teaching Building", while all the remaining buildings were in a dull gray and unopened state.
Among the people coming and going, compared to those young ladies who were escorted by their housekeepers holding umbrellas, with their backs straight, and those young masters who were unrestrained and surrounded by the crowd, Wen Qian's way of appearance was really ordinary.
But she is so special.
The protagonist, who was being stared at strangely, stood in the middle of the road, not caring at all about the mocking gazes cast at him.
It seems that I am not an alien in this academy, but the master here.
"Who is that?" The girl playing with her nails glanced lightly at Wen Qian.
The curly-haired girl next to her exchanged glances with her companions, then hesitantly said, "It seems to be a new poor and excellent student this year."
"Another poor and talented student?" The girl looked away, her tone tinged with annoyance. "How annoying! Why on earth would the academy admit such people?"
The curly-haired girl lowered her head and didn't dare to respond.
The decision to recruit poor and talented students was made by the student union. This person dared to complain because of her family background, but how could ordinary students like them dare to agree with her on such a matter?
After all, these people who are considered to have superior family backgrounds in the outside world are just tutors for the young masters and young ladies here.
Standing upstairs, the girl looked down at the people below and withdrew her gaze with boredom. When she was about to leave, she paused and looked back at the poor and outstanding student.
But this time, her focus shifted to another person.
"...Loren?"
Loren immediately spotted the girl with unique behavior in the crowd. He always had a smile on his face, and when he saw the girl looking back at him with a look of surprise, his smile rose even more.
He walked towards her slowly, thinking casually about how to greet her.
Would she be surprised to see him here, or would she treat him as a stranger and ask for "help" as before?
The girl, with an excited look on her face, walked towards him quickly, and seemed to be about to run.
"See you again--" The words were interrupted by the breeze brought by the girl's hurried passing.
The girl walking towards him brushed past him, giving him a puzzled look as if wondering why this person was blocking her way.
This doubt was quickly withdrawn, and she completely ignored him, only focusing on pursuing her own goal.
"classmate!"
Wen Qian avoided the people who were blocking his way and walked quickly to the pretty female classmate.
"Classmate, I see you seem distressed. What happened?"
Whether you are worried or not, they are all excuses.
Wen Qian stared intently at the [!] sign above the other person's head and casually made an opening remark.
She didn't expect that she was so lucky that she encountered a task just after entering the school.
The conspicuous exclamation mark instantly grabbed all her attention. School registration and other matters had to be put aside in front of the task!
The female classmate didn't seem to find it strange that Wen Qian suddenly appeared, greeted her and started asking her what was bothering her.
She sighed and said with a sad face: "Actually, I have always had a crush on someone..."
It was strange to talk about these things on just the first meeting, but the person being confided in didn't care at all.
Missions, that's all.
Wen Qian nodded repeatedly as he listened to the other party's story of secret love since the first year of high school.
But if you look closely, you can see that her eyes are blank at this moment, and her mind is full of thoughts about whether the background summary of this task is a bit too long.
"...So, I wrote a love letter, but I was too embarrassed to give it to him."
Hearing the key point, Wen Qian instantly came back to his senses and reflexively replied, "Leave it to me!"
[Receive the mission - Girl's Love Letter ①]
[Quest Reward: Experience +20, Reputation +1]
Wen Qian, who took the task item [Love Letter], looked at the system prompt in surprise. What is this reputation value?
When she played this game, she only focused on the career section and didn't pay much attention to the tasks in the campus section.
In her eyes, the campus section is a daycare center for brushing numerical points. Before logging off every day, she randomly selects a few courses, throws the character into the school, and can get back a sum of numerical points when she logs on the next day.
Forget it, no matter what the reputation value is, just get it first!
Loren's appearance caused a slight commotion, and students passing by looked cautiously at this young master who seldom appeared in school.
When they saw Wen Qian brushing past the other person and almost bumping into him, many people looked at him with a hint of pity.
New here?
People who knew Loren subconsciously walked towards him, but stopped when they saw his half-smile - Loren's temper was the best among the young masters in the academy, but that was only compared to those people.
That gentle look concealed an indifference to others, and even the smile seemed blurred as if through fog.
After receiving the task, Wen Qian returned to his previous state of slowly exploring the map.
As long as it is not a time-limited task, the completion time of an ordinary task can be stretched to infinity.
Even if it takes ten days or half a month to complete the task, the NPC will still praise you for being so timely when you hand it in.
Wen Qian looked at the name on the envelope and frowned. It was just one name. How long would it take to search the map to find the person?
She looked resentful, so why didn't this quest have a guide function? Isn't this a trap for the players?
Looking at the envelope in his hand, Wen Qian decided to report first, and then ask his classmates after the class assignment to see if they knew this person.
A well-proportioned and slender hand fell on the envelope, interrupting Wen Qian's thoughts.
"Chu Lingyu?" Loren glanced at the name on the envelope, leaned forward slightly, and looked at the girl in front of him, "He is not a good-tempered person."
Wen Qian wasn't displeased by the stranger's familiarity. She replied naturally, "No wonder she didn't dare deliver the letter. Do you know this person?"
Wen Qian looked at the young man with delicate features and wondered if this was a task prompt from the game.
But... she looked at him several times again. Why did she feel that this person looked a little familiar?
"I know him." Loren looked at Wen Qian with interest. "I can help you, but first you have to tell me why you wanted to help that person."
He witnessed the entire conversation between Wen Qian and the student, which was very strange no matter how you looked at it.
It was her first time at school, and the man should not be someone she knew - their conversation also confirmed this.
The man didn't seem surprised by her sudden words, but instead asked her to help deliver the love letter.
It’s really interesting.
Wen Qian looked at him doubtfully. Does the NPC still want to know this?
She said casually, "Because she needs help. I'm always happy to help."
"Is that so?" Loren nodded as if he understood. His voice was cheerful. "Then why didn't you want to help me yesterday?"
yesterday?
Wen Qian took a step back and looked at Loren back and forth several times. As if he finally remembered who this person was, he suddenly realized, "It's you!"
Isn't this the NPC who asked her for help but didn't give her any tasks at all!
"Yesterday was an accident. Do you need any help with anything now?" Wen Qian said after thinking for a moment.
I always feel that this NPC is not simple. Let’s try again to see if I can trigger the task!
"Now?" Loren said casually, "When you deliver the letter, please tell Chu Lingyu a message for me."
"May I?"
Looking at the empty space above the NPC's head, the player, feeling subtly like he'd been tricked again, said, "...Oh, no."
Loren's lips paused slightly, and the smile did not reach his eyes.
Wen Qian had just finished speaking, and before he had time to complain about the system's task mechanism, he saw the extremely conspicuous task logo suddenly appear on the person in front of him.
The player who just rejected the other party a second ago: ...?
"Well, but, coming back to the point..."
