Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Today’s dinner table...
The atmosphere at the dinner table today was a little different from usual, but this subtle change went unnoticed by Wen Qian, who was immersed in studying the system panel.
Jiang Zhi looked at Wen Qian, the words went around in his mouth again and again, but when he wanted to say it, he could not find the right expression.
He looked at Wen Qian, who seemed to be distracted, and before she was about to hit the door frame, he raised his hand and grabbed her arm.
"Be careful and don't be dazed while walking."
"Oh." Wen Qian nodded repeatedly and responded, but he still hadn't fully recovered.
She subconsciously pulled her arm back, but felt a little resistance when she did so. She looked sideways and saw that the person holding her arm still had not let go.
Jiang Zhi stood by the door with a serious expression, showing no intention of letting go.
"Jiang Zhi?" Wen Qian looked at him doubtfully and stopped on his way home.
He walked closer to her, his clenched arms loosened for a moment, then tightened again. The person in front of him had his drooping brows and eyes darkened by the shadow of the door frame.
Jiang Zhi lowered his head, remained silent for a long time under the puzzled gaze of the person in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth: "Wen Qian, what are you thinking about?"
Before she could speak, Jiang Zhi's low voice sounded again: "Are you thinking about what happened this afternoon?"
A lot of things happened today, but if we talk about the afternoon, there was probably only that one thing.
Wen Qian, who had just discovered some clues on the system panel, didn't think much about it and nodded: "Yes."
She said frankly: "I have been thinking about this."
He hadn't figured out anything before, but unexpectedly, he found a breakthrough after returning home. Wen Qian was in a good mood at the moment.
Jiang Zhi noticed her emotional changes. He couldn't be as happy as she was. This joy had a different meaning in his eyes.
"Will you agree to Xun Cang?" He looked at Wen Qian's expression carefully, as if he wanted to find a satisfactory answer from her face.
Wen Qian blinked and was about to speak when his warm palm suddenly covered her eyes.
She was stunned for a moment, and the person in front of her leaned down and gently held her in his arms. His warm breath brushed past her ears, and his dull voice was a little hoarse.
"Can you, not agree?"
"You don't want me to agree to him?" Wen Qian hesitated.
She turned her head, raised her hand to press the hand covering her face, and pulled it down without much force.
"Isn't it possible?" Jiang Zhi took advantage of the situation and hooked his hand around hers. His tone was calm but contained an unfathomable meaning. "If you want a boyfriend, there are actually more suitable options."
Wen Qian really wanted to say that she hadn't figured this out yet, and before she figured it out, it would be hard for her to say whether she wanted a partner.
"I--"
"Compared to him, I am a more suitable choice." Jiang Zhi did not hesitate at all. He met Wen Qian's gaze and said word by word, "Wen Qian, why don't you consider me?"
Wen Qian, who was about to say that he would tell him the answer to the question after she went through the tutorial, silently swallowed his inappropriate words.
"Wait, let me think about it." Wen Qian was silent for two seconds, then looked up in shock, "You like me?!"
Jiang Zhi found it difficult to describe his current mood. After he had hinted and hinted countless times, and even said things like "I want to be your ideal type", Wen Qian actually didn't know that he liked her.
She even had an expression of sudden enlightenment.
Wen Qian remembered what Jiang Zhi had said before, and her brain was working so fast that she was just one step away from freezing.
She had never thought about it in this way before. After all, this game didn't have a love system. She had played with so many accounts before and had never encountered such a thing. She would never think about it in this way.
But now, something seems wrong.
At this moment, Xiao Wen finally discovered a secret that everyone knew.
Jiang Zhi looked at Wen Qian's expression which suddenly changed. Although it didn't show on his face, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Wen Qian." He held her hand tightly and called her name softly.
Wen Qian came back to her senses and when she looked up she saw the nervousness in the eyes of the person in front of her, so she calmed herself down.
"I understand." She said calmly, "Wait for me to study it and tell you when I understand it."
She had to wait until she understood what the objects in this game were used for before answering him.
Wait, another multiple-choice question?!
A person with indecisive disorder looks a little dead.
Jiang Zhi did not force Wen Qian to give him an answer now. He looked at her expression carefully, and when he found that she did not show any disgust, he chuckled.
"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?" He skipped the topic and asked.
"It's the same as today." Wen Qian answered subconsciously.
The smile on Jiang Zhi's face deepened. Wen Qian did not avoid seeing him again, which made him feel a little relieved.
After sending him home, he gently reminded him, "It's late, remember to go to bed early."
Wen Qian nodded in response, closed the door, and immediately opened the system panel. Just now when she was having dinner at Jiang Zhi's house, she discovered a key point that she had overlooked.
When Xun Cang confessed his love in the afternoon, she clearly heard a "beep" from the system. It was because of this incident that she concluded that there was a change in the system.
But I couldn't find out where the reminder came from at that time. It was not until I got home that I discovered that it was the voice assistant.
The voice assistant with golden light was very conspicuous on the light blue system panel, but it was a pity that Wen Qian first noticed something was wrong in the afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, and the voice assistant, which was desperately emitting golden light to attract the players' attention, had no sense of existence under the cover of the sun.
It was not until he entered the room that Wen Qian noticed the voice assistant section that had been unable to start.
The voice assistant has been in a constant on state since the last upgrade, but it cannot be turned on. Wen Qian looked at the system panel and tried to start it again.
A calm and steady mechanical sound suddenly rang in my ears.
[The voice assistant has been enabled and is being tested——]
[Player: Wen Qian
Main quest progress: 79%
Career line: 90% (pending job transfer)
Love line: 0% (not yet opened)]
[Planning your future schedule - Planning completed - Step 1: Please start the love strategy line]
Wen Qian hadn't recovered from the shock of finding that the voice assistant could actually be turned on when he suddenly discovered something even more shocking.
Love, what love? Does this game even have a love function?
"Wait a minute, explain to me first, where does the love line come from? Have you updated the version behind my back again?" Wen Qian said quickly.
[Dear, I am looking for relevant information for you——]
[The Love Strategy Line is a sub-line of the game. It is the initial section of the game and is not part of the subsequent version update. The current game version is: 1.0.0]
[If you need to update to the latest version, please download it from the App Store and log in again after the update is complete...]
Hearing the word "kiss" spoken calmly by the voice assistant, Wen Qian's eyelids twitched. What kind of official language was this?
She logged in again. Where did she log in?
She squeezed out the useless water in the reply and found the part she needed from the remaining dry goods.
Is the love line a subplot in the initial version?
"Nonsense." Wen Qian said firmly, "How could it be an initial function!"
"There's no romance section on the system panel!"
The voice assistant flashed, and two seconds later, a large arrow appeared on the system panel.
【Click on the friend list】
[After entering the friend list, double-click on the right and slide to the left]
Wen Qian did as she was told half-heartedly. She basically didn't look at the friend list in the game. After all, so far, there were only two pitiful people in her friend list.
Double-click, swipe left, and after completing this series of operations, Wen Qian looked at the unfamiliar board with a floating heart in front of him and slowly fell silent.
“…”
Wen Qian silently glanced at the words "Heartbeat List" on the board, then looked at the words "Open" below that were flashing with golden light, and choked.
So...there's this feature in the game!
How come she never noticed?
What has she missed for so long? How much content has she missed?
Wen Qian: "Don't you have a tutorial for beginners?"
Are you not a veteran player?
"This is not an excuse." The cold-faced Xiao Wen refused such an unreasonable explanation.
[Query completed. According to detection, the novice tutorial was triggered after "A Letter to Players" and has been skipped by you.]
Players who don't read the tutorial no matter what game they play will suffer the consequences today.
Wen Qian, who thought victory was just around the corner and was toasting champagne at halftime, finally discovered a rusty love system with zero progress in the corner when he was about to reach the maximum level.
She raised her hand with difficulty and opened the almost dusty [Heartbeat List]. A large amount of information poured out and countless flashing red dots appeared in front of her.
The long-pile up messages, like old mail stuffed in a mailbox, poured out the moment the door opened.
The first thing that pops up is a series of [Friend Requests], no, it should be called [Heart-Stirring Friend Requests], which are somewhat different from ordinary friend requests.
The originally empty list was instantly filled with people. Looking at the familiar names, Wen Qian was silent for two seconds.
"Is this my love line? Why are there so many people?" Wen Qian was shocked.
When will this strategy be completed?
"How should I conquer her?" Wen Qian thought about the love games he had played, but couldn't find any suitable reference.
This game doesn't have a dialog box for choosing one of three options. How do I increase my favorability?
Wen Qian, who had no idea what was going on, poked the voice assistant and sighed when she got no response.
I have to figure it out myself, this voice assistant that keeps disconnecting is so unreliable.
She opened the message board of her first friend and was stunned when she saw the red number on it.
Heart rate 100%?
Wen Qian quickly withdrew her hand and looked down the list one by one. The numbers appeared in front of her as if copied and pasted.
Wen Qian suddenly lost her voice. She could understand the situation of Xun Cang and Jiang Zhi, as she had not forgotten what happened today, but what about the others?
Wen Qian remembered what Chu Lingyu had said before about liking her, and what Loren had said about wanting to be with her. Xia Zhiqing's question about if she had someone she liked echoed in his ears. He turned sideways and saw the love letter written by Lu Yanbai still on the bookshelf.
...It seems that there were some signs.
Wen Qian said slowly: "It's really hidden too deeply."
It's not to save face.
Returning to the system main interface, the task section ushered in the most lively scene since the start of the game.
[Love Mission - 100% Heartbeat (Completed)
Heart-beating friend: Chu Lingyu's favorability is 100%
Rewards: Experience +1000, Gold +520, Mission-Specific Decoration ×1]
Love Mission - 100% Heartbeat ② (Completed)
Heart-beating friend: Jiang Zhi's favorability 100%
Rewards: Experience +1000, Gold +520, Mission-Specific Decoration ×1]
…
[Experience value is full, lv79-lv86]
Wen Qian's eyes were hurt by the endless special effects, so he silently covered his eyes and didn't put down his hands until the sound effects disappeared.
She looked at the column showing completed tasks and said blankly, "So... do we still need to complete the strategy now?"
Why does it feel like she has nothing to do with it?
She hasn't done anything yet!
