I've used up all my life's energy to draw an SSR in my relationship...
One more day at work is hard to bear, but holidays pass by as quickly as flowing water.
In a blink of an eye, it was the last day of May Day. Shen Huifang went to work. In the large flat in Yangliu'an, Zhou Yitang, who had finished his homework, and Cheng Sizhou, who was bored, were lying on the sofa playing with their mobile phones.
"It's almost high school entrance exam time, and you're still playing games?" Cheng Sizhou passed by Zhou Yitang while pouring water and saw her fingers constantly poking at the screen. "What game? Whack-a-Mole?"
"The second mobile game to be released is called Seeking the Voice and Asking for Fate." Zhou Yitang said as he poked his head without even looking up, "I'm collecting resources. They'll be full soon, so I can draw a scenario."
It sounds like a card drawing game, but what does it mean to draw a script?
"It's different from ordinary card-drawing games. You can only draw one script at a time. After the script is opened, you must complete it before you can proceed to the next one." Zhou Yitang explained clearly.
"There's not even ten consecutive draws? What if players draw a script they don't like and don't want to play it anymore?" Cheng Sizhou was puzzled.
"You can spend money on it." Zhou Yitang said calmly, "Or delete your account and start over."
That makes a lot of sense.
As a mature adult, Cheng Sizhou wasn't particularly interested in mobile games. However, he understood that since domestic mobile games focused on profitability and high online rates, there was essentially no difference between ten consecutive draws and one.
"I've collected it all! I've deleted my account and started over eight times, and finally I've collected it all again!" After a series of operations, Zhou Yitang twisted his body happily from side to side, then quietly leaned over and asked, "Hey, are you good?"
"Oh?" Cheng Sizhou glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Zhou Yitang handed over his phone: "I'm so frustrated. I haven't been able to get Teacher An's script in seven draws. I have classes tomorrow and I don't have time to play. How about you help me try? If you also... Hello!!!"
Before she could even finish, Cheng Sizhou poked at the phone screen with lightning speed!
Instantly, golden light rose, white mist filled the air, and a dazzling display of flashy, yet practically worthless, special effects dazzled the eyes. After the light faded, a scroll fell from an ancient bookshelf on the screen. The scroll opened, and subtitles appeared: "The script 'Criminal Punishment' begins. Guardian, are you ready?"
"ah--!!!"
An explosive scream suddenly rang out, Cheng Sizhou's eardrums bulged, and he felt like he had died.
"ah--!!!"
He gave up trying to stop her and covered his ears with his hands, but he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.
“Ah—! Ahhhhh!! It’s Teacher An’s script, it’s Teacher An’s script!”
Zhou Yitang jumped onto the sofa on one leg, and the whole house was filled with her wild and unruly screams and laughter.
Cheng Sizhou is going crazy.
"How do you know it's Mr. An's script? His name isn't on it, right?!"
"Some sisters who got lucky have shared it. Besides, I've never missed Teacher An's voice!"
At that time, Cheng Sizhou really couldn't understand what young children liked, but he would not criticize things he didn't understand. Just like when you evaluate whether an orange is delicious, you have to eat at least one slice before you are qualified to evaluate it.
On the other hand, the words have been spoken, and we must cultivate interest in voice actors and cannot go back on our word.
It just so happens that playing games is an easier way to cultivate interest.
"Zhou Yitang, this game... Hey!"
The star-chasing girl who was just going crazy over the "leaving Africa and joining the EU" deal was now speechless. She went back to her room with her phone in her arms, not giving the 30-year-old man any chance to continue discussing with her in depth.
“Next time you sneak out to chase stars, when you get beaten by Sister Shen, no one will plead for you. I tell you!”
Forget it, the master only leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you.
Cheng Sizhou lamented, what kind of master was Zhou Yitang? At most, she was just a...hateful human cub, a bastard who was trying to get good luck for free!
After complaining in his heart, he downloaded the Second Sound APP with the mentality of giving it a try without losing any money. He successfully found how to open "Xun Sheng Wen Yuan", entered the game, and registered an account.
"Nickname, think about it... Come on, this is it."
"Age: 28, a beautiful girl..."
"Gender, choose 'female'. I heard that female players in the game are often mentored..."
“OK, it’s done!”
Five minutes later, the novice guide was completed and Cheng Sizhou became a guardian of the Xuyuan Continent.
The story takes place on this fictional continent, home to dozens of nations, large and small. Some are prosperous and civilized, while others are still mired in poverty. Powerful nations, with their vast military might, pose a threat to weaker ones, forcing them to unite to resist their enemies.
Players assume the role of a Guardian. The dragon soul they have guarded for generations has shattered into fragments. The fragments fall and merge with the souls of humans on the Xuyuan Continent. The Guardian's mission is to enter the Xuyuan Continent, find and protect the destined person whose body has been fused with the fragments, and when the time is right, peel off the fragments to complete the story and receive the rewards for completing the game.
"Oh, that's the same old trick." Cheng Sizhou said disdainfully.
Now that you are here, just have some fun.
He controlled the guardian to gather enough resources, entered the secret chamber where the divination fragments fell, and came to the ancient bookshelf again.
"It's time to identify the purebred European Emperor bloodline!"
Cheng Sizhou solemnly pressed the divination button. Suddenly, a soft blue light, like the radiance of a clear moon, appeared. As the scroll fell, a line of words appeared on the screen: "The script 'Restoration of the Nation' begins. Guardian, are you ready?"
The person destined for him by the system was a little prince, the youngest son of the ruler of a small country on the Xuyuan Continent.
This country was not only small in size but also weak in strength. When a powerful country invaded, the king personally led his troops to meet the enemy, but the enemy burned down his granary and arsenal, and he was defeated without a fight.
The ruler of a powerful nation imprisoned the ruler of a smaller nation and incorporated the smaller nation's territory into his own. The ruler's children were either killed or scattered, leaving only the youngest son to survive the chaos. His daily mission was to secretly contact various forces to help him restore his kingdom.
Cheng Sizhou prides himself on being a genius and is fully confident that he can help the young prince successfully restore his country. However, after playing the game for almost a month, the plot has stagnated and the young prince's journey to restore his country is still very difficult.
As the time for the high school entrance examination was getting closer, Zhou Yitang played games less and less. She finally waited until a weekend. Cheng Sizhou caught a glimpse of her opening the game, so he licked his old face, came over pretentiously, and asked her how the game was.
"The drop rate of "Tataf" is very low, which is equivalent to an SSR-level script. The plot process is also very long. I heard from them that it will take three or four months to play without krypton gold." Zhou Yitang said.
"What about mine? How long will it take?" Cheng Sizhou said sincerely with stars in his eyes.
"Restoration of the Nation? It seems no one has shared a strategy for this scenario." Zhou Yitang shook his head. "It might just be an R-rank. Although the drop rate is a bit higher, I guess if I get this, I'll delete my account and start over."
"Don't worry about the level. Aren't they all the hard work of the creators? What's the difference?" Cheng Sizhou said, patting the little prince's forehead. The little prince seemed to feel offended and grinned at him fiercely.
"That's the truth, but everyone wants to get a work with someone they like."
Cheng Sizhou was not convinced and looked at Zhou Yitang's screen with a frown. Her destined man was a majestic general, wearing golden armor and a light fur coat, looking down on the world.
"This great general is matched by An Jie, right?"
"How is it? Does it sound good? Is it sweet, magnetic and sexy?"
"Use adjectives correctly. Watch out for your Chinese language test!"
Zhou Yitang was used to his daily picking on her, but she felt something was wrong today. While he was drinking water, she picked up his cell phone and took a look, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The plot of "Restoration of the Nation" has barely progressed past half, but the "love" progress bar on the character interaction page that represents affection is still blue with white, and white with gray, which is really sad.
"If the little prince doesn't like you, how can the plot move forward?"
"Don't talk nonsense, he keeps whispering in my ear every day."
Zhou Yitang squinted and said, "I can tell you how to advance the plot. In exchange, you can treat me to a French dinner tomorrow, or you can beg me for it."
"I'm giving you a chance to correct your incorrect sentences." Cheng Sizhou was unwilling to be outdone.
"How about you help me play the game for a month, until the high school entrance exam is over?"
It turns out that the heartless little girl also knows that the exam is approaching and it is time to focus and review well.
"make a deal!"
Although Cheng Sizhou definitely lost money in this deal, he simply agreed to her request with the purpose of protecting the future flowers of the motherland. He also wanted to experience the charm of the rumored Anjie that could make the female human cubs so obsessed.
Zhou Yitang happily took over his phone: "Come on, I'll teach you, learn well."
If Zhou Yitang had not actually witnessed it, he would never have imagined that Cheng Sizhou, who usually acted so arrogantly, was actually a giant in terms of IQ but a dwarf in terms of EQ.
The game features many dialogues where you can develop feelings between your guardian and your destined one. Choosing the right option increases your favorability, while choosing the wrong option decreases it.
Zhou Yitang opened Cheng Sizhou's game history and found that few of his choices were correct, such as -
"Go out, I want to rest." The little prince said coldly.
Then, three options popped up on the screen:
A. Turn around and leave, go back to your room to rest;
B. Quietly leave and go to the next door to write the visiting card for him for the next day;
C. Don’t leave. Blow out the lights and stay with him.
