"Wow, you fly so steadily! Are you riding a crane? Wait, you never seem to team up..."
"Did you take a screenshot? I'm screen recording!"
"Hey boss, say something! Otherwise it'll be so awkward. This is such a great opportunity to chat!"
The person behind remained silent, only making subtle changes in their movements while controlling their mount.
Just when Zi Xi thought this quest was about to end with her stand-up comedy routine, a flock of mischievous magpies suddenly appeared in front of them and crashed into them!
"Watch out, boss!"
Zi Xi exclaimed in surprise.
The lone goose reacted extremely quickly, pulling the reins sharply. The magpie nimbly spun sideways, almost brushing past the flock of magpies.
The movements were fluid and graceful, comparable to acrobatic flying.
Zi Xi leaned back instinctively, closed her eyes tightly, and her back was almost pressed against Gu Hong's chest.
"That scared me to death... You're amazing, boss! That skill, that awareness! It's like you're using cheats."
After the jolt subsided, she opened her eyes with lingering fear and leaned back.
Zi Xi didn't notice that the person behind her stiffened almost imperceptibly the moment she leaned closer.
The magpie also swayed slightly.
Lone Goose, holding the reins with one hand, frantically typed: ...Don't talk.
"oh……"
Zi Xi finally behaved herself for a few seconds, took out the juice she had made, took a sip, and asked Gu Hong if he wanted some.
After being refused, he took another big gulp.
After successfully reaching the finish line, the second task, "Skillful Hands and United Hearts," will begin.
It requires two people to work together: one person collects different colored threads according to the prompts, and the other person is responsible for weaving them into a love knot.
The main focus is on testing teamwork and understanding.
Gu Hong is clearly the one with exceptional hands-on skills, even when it comes to making Chinese knots in the game.
Zi Xi was responsible for running around collecting silk threads.
"Dude! This one's red!"
"Boss! This is golden!"
"Hey boss! Oops, I grabbed the wrong one! This one is green!"
"Wow, you're amazing! That knot is even better than the NPC's!"
With lightning speed, Gu Hong quickly formed an exquisite and intricate concentric knot.
System rating: S grade.
The third mission: [Crossing the Milky Way Together].
Two people need to row a small boat through the Milky Way and starry sea, and answer the boatman's questions about each other's preferences. Generally, the questions are randomly selected by the system from the player's profile or recent chat.
The small boat swayed gently, surrounded by a dazzling starry sky—it was incredibly romantic.
Boatman: "Excuse me, what is your teammate [Lone Goose]'s most frequently used move?"
"No self, no sword! That's the one who annihilated the giant ape! So cool!"
Zi Xi answered instantly.
"Correct. May I ask, what has your teammate [Xi Yan] mentioned most frequently in the guild chat lately?"
Boatman:
Lone Goose: "…………"
Zi Xi held her breath. What had she been talking about in the gang lately?
Complaining about the cafeteria food, grumbling about the heavy workload, or... showering Gu Hong with praise?
"You're praising my moves?"
Gu Hong remained silent for a few seconds, seemingly recalling something, before typing out a few words uncertainly.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm talking about you, boss."
Zi Xi looked proud.
Boatman: "Correct. For the last question, please give a sincere compliment to your teammate."
"Master Gu Hong's martial arts are unparalleled, he is number one in the world, silence is golden, and his handsomeness is breathtaking!"
Zi Xi answered quickly.
The boatman's small boat rocked, as if struck by the enthusiastic flattery.
