Chapter 250 Wild Pepper Heart Fried Rice [3]
The elevator only picked up people on the seventeenth floor, and then proceeded smoothly to the lobby on the first floor.
There's a small shop in the lobby that sells things like water and snacks.
There's also a small restaurant that serves fried noodles, fried rice, and other fried dishes.
Inside the lobby, there were more than a dozen players and several NPCs.
Some players huddled together talking, while others peered out from the lobby entrance, hoping to see if they could catch a glimpse of what was outside.
Ah Chu went straight to the small restaurant, greeted the owner familiarly, and ordered a fried rice and two fried noodles.
Nan Xingye followed behind A Chu.
Achu turned around and asked Nan Xingye, "Xingye-ge, what do you want to eat? You haven't been back for a long time, and Uncle Zhang's cooking skills have improved a lot! Especially the wild chili beef fried rice! Highly recommended~"
Nan Xingye wasn't hungry; his gaming experience told him not to eat things from the game.
But looking into Achu's bright, expectant eyes, he inexplicably ordered a plate of wild chili beef fried rice as well.
Achu pulled Nanxingye to sit down at an empty table in the restaurant.
The restaurant business is pretty good, but it's mostly full of NPCs.
Experienced players don't eat in-game food indiscriminately.
So when players saw Nan Hoshino sitting in the restaurant, they were quite surprised.
If it weren't for his powerful aura, cold demeanor, and the fact that his level wasn't visible above his head, they would have thought he was a new player!
The restaurant owner, Uncle Zhang, quickly brought out two servings of wild chili beef fried rice.
The other two servings of fried noodles were packed up and placed aside.
Nan Xingye glanced at the fried noodles inside the takeout bag; they were dark and he couldn't tell what they were.
Looking at the fried rice in front of me, its aroma is irresistible, making my mouth water.
Nan Xingye looked at the meat in front of A Chu again and felt that it was a little different from her own; the meat didn't look like beef.
"What's yours?" Nan Xingye asked.
Ah Chu had already picked up her spoon and was about to start eating when she heard this and replied, "Mine is wild chili heart fried rice!"
After saying that, she scooped up the fried rice mixed with heart and took a bite. It was so delicious that she squinted her eyes.
Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, Nan Xingye suddenly felt hungry too.
He picked up the spoon and scooped up a mouthful, feeding it into his mouth.
Hmm, it does taste pretty good.
Achu takes a bite, and Nanxingye takes a bite.
The two sat facing each other, engrossed in their meal.
Soon, the fried rice in front of me was finished.
Nan Xingye paid the bill before A Chu did.
He used his points to exchange for the world's currency.
Ah Chu, carrying two servings of fried noodles, said shyly, "How could I let you pay, Hoshino-ge? I was going to treat you to this."
Minami Hoshino: "It's okay."
The two walked out of the restaurant.
Achu said she had to go back and asked Nanxingye if she wanted to go up with her.
Before Nan Xingye could respond, he heard someone call out to him, "Brother Ye!"
He turned around and saw his teammates who had entered the game just like him.
Nan Xingye said to A Chu, "I have something to do."
Achu nodded to indicate that she understood: "Then I'll head back now!"
Seeing Nan Xingye turn around to talk to the person who called him, A Chu also went upstairs.
Before going upstairs, she glanced at the building's entrance.
The floor-to-ceiling glass doors allow you to see that although it's not completely dark outside, the sky is gloomy and oppressive.
Achu withdrew her gaze and went upstairs.
She returned to her "home," a small two-bedroom apartment that felt very cramped and wasn't bright even with the lights on.
Ah Chu doesn't like it here.
She asked the system: "Since my role this time is the big boss in a horror game, and Nan Xingye is a player, he will die if the game fails, and he will leave if the game succeeds."
【I can't possibly max out my affection level in three days, can I?】
System: [The host came here to conquer the target character, so of course you can leave this game instance with the target character.]
Achu: [So, as long as Minami Hoshino Yugi clears the game and leaves, I can leave here too, right?]
System: [Yes.]
With the system's words, Achu felt relieved.
She doesn't like this 'home'.
Achu placed the takeout fried noodles on the dining table; it was dinner she had bought for her 'parents'.
She walked to the small double sofa in the living room, sat down, and turned on the TV.
I thought turning on the TV would result in static, but to my surprise, it actually works!
However, after watching for only five minutes, Ah Chu realized that the TV was showing a horror movie.
She changed the channel with the remote and happened to see a person being beheaded with a chainsaw, in high definition and without any censorship; it was incredibly gruesome.
If someone timid had come, they would have been terrified.
Fortunately, Ah Chu had experienced two extraordinary novel worlds in a row, so his ability to accept things was still quite good.
She changed the channel again, this time to the children's channel.
A horror cartoon is playing...
Ah Chu was convinced.
She watched a horror cartoon for a while, and then the door lock clicked to open.
Achu turned her head and saw a thin, haggard middle-aged woman walk in.
"Mom," Achu called out.
Mom glanced at Chu and gently replied, "Chu, what did you do at home today?"
"I did a few test papers at home today."
Ah Chu changed his own character setting to that of an 18-year-old repeat high school senior.
Upon hearing Chu's answer, his mother said, "You still need to know how to balance work and rest. Don't just study all the time. If you're tired, go for a walk."
Achu looked at this mother.
The information shows that when she wasn't being beaten by her husband, she was very kind and gentle to her daughter.
Achu smiled sweetly and said, "Mom, I bought fried noodles. It was Hoshino from next door who treated me!"
When Mom saw the two servings of fried noodles on the table, she smiled and said, "How could I accept this? Hoshino is such a good boy!"
As the fake mother and daughter were talking, Achu told her mother to eat the noodles first, and she went back to her room to continue reading.
Achu returned to his room and casually flipped through the book's contents, finding it to be no different from a typical high school textbook.
Having just taken the college entrance exam in the last century, Achu no longer wants to study.
She lay down on the bed and waited quietly for her 'father' to come back.
The rule of this game instance is that you must return to "home" before 8 PM and you cannot open the door under any circumstances.
The condition for passing the test is to survive three nights.
Time quickly came to eight o'clock, and all the players returned to their "homes," with the doors tightly shut.
Some players chose to group up, with several people staying in one house.
On Nan Xingye's side, two of his teammates joined this game instance.
Both of my teammates live on the seventeenth floor.
Both teammates felt a strong sense of security about being able to join Nan Xingye in the same game instance.
They followed Nan Xingye to the eighteenth floor and stayed with him.
After eight o'clock, the entire building seemed to quiet down.
The building already had a very low occupancy rate; only the 18th to 10th floors had residents.
Achu felt that his body had undergone obvious changes.
She seemed to have become one with the building, able to sense every room and every corner.
She even saw Nan Xingye next door, who was flipping through a book.
Next to Nan Xingye were two young men, the same two who had called him "Brother Ye" downstairs earlier.
