Chapter 249 What's your name? [2]
Achu didn't show it on her face, but she was slightly surprised inside.
She hasn't done anything yet, and her favorability rating has already increased?
However, it's better for Nan Hoshino to gain favorability than to lose it!
That's a good start!
The two looked each other over, but it only took a few brief seconds.
Achu's face broke into a timid, obedient, yet slightly surprised smile as she called out to Nan Xingye, "Brother Xingye, when did you get back? Did you graduate?"
When players enter the game world, they will be given a new identity.
Nan Xingye's identity is that of a doctoral graduate who has just returned from studying abroad and lives in this building.
Seeing how familiar Ah Chu was with him, she guessed that he was probably a neighbor who had a fairly good relationship with her.
Nan Xingye nodded and gave a faint "hmm" in response.
He is a very indifferent person, and even in a horror game, he would not pretend to be anything in order to complete the mission.
In the face of true power, none of these things matter.
Faced with Nan Xingye's indifferent attitude, A Chu appeared to be used to it.
She still looked obedient and timid: "I'm going to throw out the trash, and I'll go downstairs to buy dinner on the way back. Do you want me to bring you some?"
Nan Xingye came out to investigate the building.
They need to survive in the game for three days, and during those three days, they cannot leave the building.
"Let's go together," Nan Xingye said.
His voice was cold, and his tone lacked emotional fluctuation.
A perfectly measured smile appeared on Chu's face: "Great!~"
She and Minami Hoshino walked side by side toward the stairwell.
The little girl seemed to be in a good mood, her steps were light and quick.
She would steal glances at Nan Xingye every now and then, and then quickly turn her head away when he looked at her, her ears turning red.
Nan Xingye: "..."
Got it, this NPC has a crush on him.
Nan Xingye comes from a good family and is good-looking. Many women have liked him since he was a child.
However, due to certain experiences, his first reaction to women who like him is disgust.
Strangely enough, the way this girl looked at him didn't disgust him.
[Ding! Your target's affection level has increased by 10, currently at 20!]
Achu turned off the affection level notification sound, and then heard Nan Xingye take the initiative to ask her, "What's your name?"
"Hoshino-nii... How come you've forgotten my name after three years? I'm Chu!"
Achu looked up at Nanxingye with a mixture of surprise and hurt.
Looking into her beautiful, kitten-like eyes, Nan Xingye subconsciously felt a sense of guilt.
It's as if I shouldn't forget her name.
And this name did indeed feel strangely familiar to Nan Xingye.
I feel like I've heard that somewhere before?
No, that's impossible. He has a very good memory; he doesn't know anyone named Achu.
If so, he will definitely remember.
Minami Hoshino: "Sorry."
Unlike other players, he didn't try to explain anything to avoid arousing suspicion from the NPCs.
He thought Ah Chu would press him for answers, but to his surprise, she didn't. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then I forgive you!"
Nan Xingye couldn't help but glance at A Chu again.
As the two were talking, they arrived at the garbage room on this floor.
Achu went to throw away the trash first, and then went to the elevator with Nanxingye.
Their floor is the eighteenth floor, out of a total of nineteen floors.
This building is an old building with eight units per floor.
The elevator reached the eighteenth floor, and the door opened with a ding.
Achu and Nanxingye stepped inside.
"Hey, wait a minute! Hold on!"
Hearing someone calling outside, Achu enthusiastically pressed the elevator open button.
Soon, three men and two women walked in.
Achu saw light curtains above their heads.
[Player: Su Yuechan]
Age: 23
Height: 162 cm
Grade: A+
[Identity: The older sister next door to room 1804, who dropped out of school early to work]
Her heart is quite delicious too!
...
[Player: Chen Yong]
Age: 35
Height: 176 cm
[Grade: A-]
[Identity: The uncle who lives next door to room 1803!]
His heart wasn't particularly fresh, but it was still edible.
...
[Player: Li Fangxue]
【age:……】
Ah Chu realized that the deliciousness of the heart was determined by the player's level.
Nan Xingye's S-rank is already considered a very high level, so his heart is incredibly delicious, and A Chu can smell an enticing aroma emanating from him.
As for the others, it's probably just a difference between freshly cooked and pre-prepared dishes.
In Nan Xingye's view, the situation above these five players was much simpler.
The only thing listed is the player and their level; that's because their level is higher than the others, which is why their level is visible.
Su Yuechan and Chen Yong looked at Nan Xingye and A Chu, one of whom had nothing on his head and was an excessively beautiful NPC.
One of them has "Player" written on its head.
They are clearly players of a higher level than them.
"Thank you!" Su Yuechan, who had a non-threatening appearance and looked gentle, thanked A Chu.
Achu smiled shyly and obediently: "Sister Su, you're welcome."
"Uncle Chen, Sister Li, Brother Wu, Brother Wang, are you all going downstairs to buy food?"
"Yes, yes! We all go downstairs to buy food!"
The elevator went down and stopped on the seventeenth floor.
The elevator doors opened, and two more players and two NPCs entered.
The NPCs are two middle-aged women who greet everyone very familiarly as soon as they enter.
An older woman spoke to A-Chu: "A-Chu's here too. Has your dad stopped hitting you lately?"
Nan Xingye lowered his eyes and watched A Chu talk to the slightly plump and short middle-aged woman in front of him.
Ah Chu obediently shook her head: "Without Aunt Xu, my dad recently said he wants to quit drinking."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu's face lit up with relief: "Giving up alcohol? That's wonderful!"
Another middle-aged woman next to him curled her lip and said, "If your dad could quit drinking, the sun would rise in the west!"
"I remember him saying he would quit drinking. How many times has he said that? And how many times has he ever lasted more than five days?"
Achu shrank her neck, her smile faded, and she looked somewhat pitiful.
Nan Xingye couldn't help but frown.
Aunt Xu glared at the older woman: "Zhang Cuihua, what are you saying! What if Lao Li really quits this time!"
Aunt Zhang Cuihua pursed her lips: "I was just telling A-Chu not to let his guard down!"
Ah Chu said obediently, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang. I will be careful."
Looking at Achu, Nan Xingye felt that this NPC was too well-behaved.
It's so well-behaved; if it were a player, it would probably have been devoured without a trace!
Through the conversation between the two middle-aged women, Nan Xingye also learned some information about A Chu.
The family has an alcoholic and abusive father, which is known even to the downstairs neighbors, indicating that domestic violence is common.
In the usual game, Nan Xingye wouldn't pay attention to these NPCs.
He had encountered NPCs with even worse experiences, but he remained unmoved at the time.
This time, something really strange happened.
However, Minami Hoshino didn't think much of it.
