Chapter 65
The next day was the first day of the precious holiday after the performance. It was a rare occasion that there were no activities to attend, so many trainees chose to sleep in late.
So at seven o'clock, the two people hugging each other in bed naturally didn't get up.
At eight o'clock, the two people hugging each other in bed naturally had not gotten up yet.
It was almost ten o'clock when the sun was high in the sky. Teacher Zhao and Teacher Ji had been sitting there staring at each other for several hours, but their respective stupid sons were still unwilling to get up as if they were competing with each other. Only then did they realize something was wrong.
Luo Jiayu naturally thought that the person in his arms could sleep longer than him. He held the person's head with one hand and put the other hand on the back of the person's neck. The hair of the person in his arms felt fluffy, and he was reluctant to let go, so he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep peacefully.
The system poked him: "Are you awake?"
He closed his eyes and answered calmly: No.
System: "...Then when do you plan to wake up?"
He closed his eyes and continued to answer calmly: I will get up when he wakes up.
On the other side, Teacher Zhao cautiously poked his host: "Baby?"
He shouted several times in succession, and finally got a half-dead response.
exist.
"Are you awake?"
Chu Yu buried his head in the crook of the man's neck. If he opened his eyes, his eyelashes would rub against the other person's skin, and Luo Jiayu would notice it immediately. So he closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping peacefully.
"Then let's get up early? Early to bed and early to rise is a good baby."
...Chu Yu continued to lie motionless, maintaining his original sleeping position. After a while, the tips of his ears turned slightly red.
I dare not get up.
Teacher Zhao: “?”
He hadn't figured out how to face his childhood friend who had just woken up, so he simply gave up.
So Chu Yu closed his eyes and remained stubborn to the end: I will wake up when he wakes up.
Another five minutes passed like this.
Teacher Ji poked Luo Jiayu again.
The troll brother is unmoved: I will wake up when he wakes up.
Teacher Zhao also poked Chu Yu.
Brother Baizi is determined to go all out: I will get up again when he wakes up.
After the two systems collected the intentions of their respective hosts, they came together again, considered their thoughts, and fell silent.
"Whatever you want," Teacher Ji said first. "It's okay to just hold it like this and wait for death to bury it with you."
"Are you serious?" Teacher Zhao was shocked. "You have to come down and have brunch first, or you'll starve to death."
When the two systems were talking, they considerately turned on the jammer. The two people lying on the bed could not hear their confrontation, and they maintained this sleeping position for nearly half an hour.
The sprayer brother gradually began to have some doubts: Have I been pretending for too long?
Brother Baizi gradually felt a little tired: Maybe I have been pretending for too long.
At this moment, a clear and familiar ding-dong electronic announcement sounded in both of their heads at the same time:
[Ding Dong, it has been detected that the host has passed the second performance and the second stage round settlement is about to begin.]
The two people hugged each other motionless, pretending to be dead in tacit understanding: "..."
[Ding Di, this is the newly updated Era Series AI, AI No. 001. This upgrade adds an automated, attentive greeting service. We've detected that both hosts have normal body temperatures and clear brains, and have been awake for over an hour. AI No. 001 sends you a heartwarming greeting: Good morning, both of you. Have you eaten?]
The two people hugging each other slowly opened their eyes: "..."
[It seems not yet. A good day starts with getting up on time and having breakfast. Don't always lie in bed and pretend to be asleep. If you are satisfied with my greeting service this time, please remember to go to the system mall and give a five-star praise, dear~]
Luo Jiayu: "Get lost."
That's so rude. The system snorted and the screen went black.
Chu Yu's head was still held by his childhood friend with one hand. After being exposed, he couldn't sleep or get up, talk or stay silent. He felt so depressed that half of his ear was red.
Luo Jiayu quickly felt the gradually rising temperature of the skin at his fingertips. He released his hand that was holding the man's head, lowered his head, and asked softly, "Did I press on you?"
Chu Yu followed his movements, slowly retracting her head and climbing up. Her cheeks were still flushed from being cooped up all night. She avoided her childhood friend's gaze unnaturally and said, "Yeah."
To ease the awkwardness, he proactively poked the sulking system and said, "Give me a review link."
This host is really polite! I like it! The system happily posted the link.
Chu Yu clicked on the link, closed his eyes slightly and murmured, "I give it a one-star rating."
Luo Jiayu looked at him and replied in unison, "I'm giving it a five-star review."
"We two together are it."
“Five-star review.”
The two happily high-fived each other to reach a consensus on cooperation, and thus a world was created in which only System 001 was injured.
After they had teamed up to harm the system, the unnatural atmosphere finally dissipated a little. Luo Jiayu urged the system, which was still in a black screen and autistic:
"Didn't we say we were going to do the second public settlement? Hurry up and start. Even the donkeys in the production team are so brave as you to take a break."
After saying this, he looked down at the person next to him, whose eyes had turned red like a rabbit's after a night of sleep. He carefully reached out a hand and gently touched the person's eyelids with his fingertips:
"It's a bit swollen. Can I buy you a cup of coffee in the cafeteria later?"
Chu Yu, who was touched by him, quickly lowered her head, blinked, and nodded absentmindedly.
"What kind of coffee would you like?"
"Chocolate, with lots of milk and sugar."
After ordering, I remembered that I don’t like bitter drinks, so I shook my head again:
"No coffee."
"..." Luo Jiayu said honestly, "You won't be able to get rid of the swelling if you drink like this."
"Ah?" Chu Yu was obviously not paying attention to their conversation. After hearing what he said, she raised her head and looked at him blankly.
"Nothing, I'll go buy it later." Luo Jiayu said, and then poked the system that was pretending to be dead, "Hurry up, I'll go buy breakfast after the settlement report is completed."
He started pretending as soon as it was daybreak, and pretended to be asleep for several hours despite the nagging feeling of hunger, without even opening his eyes. Now he was so hungry that he almost swallowed a baby alive. Even an Oscar-winning actor was not as dedicated as him.
When he poked the system back, it no longer had the humane tone it had used to provide a caring greeting, and instead began executing its program methodically:
Ding Dong, the second public performance round has begun... Host Chu Yu has increased her favorability with the judges by 30 points, her favorability with the trainees by 50 points, and her favorability with the audience by 337 points. Currently, she has surpassed 99.9% of the book travelers of her age group, ranking first in popularity within the camp. The current targets for favorability with the judges, audience, and popularity have all been achieved. With excellent progress, Host Chu Yu has been selected for the Book Travel Bureau's annual Best Book Traveler selection.
Luo Jiayu was curious: "Is there any reward for being selected as the best book transmigrator?"
[Of course, you will receive a certificate of honor personally presented by the Director of the Book-Traveling Bureau, a certificate of honor for Best Book-Traveler, and a heartfelt 1,000-word thank-you letter from No. 001.]
"There's no reward at all." Luo Jiayu narrowed his eyes, frowned, and turned back to look at Chu Yu. "I can't kill them."
No. 001: “…”
Chu Yu smiled. His glance at his childhood friend was unintentional, but the person being looked at turned his head away uncomfortably.
No. 001 silently added "I'll ask the developer to downgrade me when I get back" to his system upgrade feedback report, and then continued to report with humiliation:
[Beginning to report on the second public performance for host Luo Jiayu... This performance has increased his popularity by 319. Currently, host Luo Jiayu's popularity is 521, ranking second in the camp. He has achieved the achievement "Progress Star Advanced Version," triggering an automatic system reply... The system has withdrawn a message and declined to communicate with you.]
Luo Jiayu's eyes lit up: "I'm over 400?"
His bank card is about to come back!
[Host Luo Jiayu's popularity has now exceeded 400, and the pre-order reward has been unlocked. Do you want to redeem it immediately? ]
"immediately."
After two seconds of silence, the reluctant electronic voice of the system broadcast resounded in the air:
[The reward has been redeemed and the money has been transferred. The account password and deposit amount are the same as in the original world. The host can check it by himself.]
This is truly the most wonderful sentence a certain prince of the Zhejiang circle has ever heard from a system that is unable to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth since he entered the camp.
As wonderful as this report was the sudden, slightly prickly touch in Luo Jiayu's hand.
Chu Yu watched him excitedly pull out the familiar little card, then excitedly put it back in. He then grabbed her, who was still lying there, and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to a big meal to celebrate our sudden wealth."
Ten minutes later, two people walked out of the dormitory building one after the other.
Chu Yu was wearing a simple thin coat and rubbing his eyes as he walked behind his childhood friend; Luo Jiayu walked in front with high spirits, even wearing a new pair of sunglasses on his face, with his hands in his pockets, not knowing what an opponent was.
The man in sunglasses was walking briskly when he suddenly took a few steps back and stood level with Chu Yu. “Have you noticed any difference between me and before?”
Chu Yu rubbed her eyes and looked him up and down: "What's the difference?"
Luo Jiayu proudly pulled the bank card from his pocket, which gleamed brightly in the shimmering sunlight.
"I'm a krypton gold player now."
“…6.”
Luo Jiayu quickly put the bank card back into his pocket and adjusted his sunglasses, feeling unsatisfied and not having played enough jokes: "The new Luo Luo who just joined the camp is already dead."
"Who is standing in front of me now?" Chu Yu found it quite interesting that he was wagging his tail, so he responded.
However, just as his childhood friend uttered the three words "Niu Hulu" in a sonorous and powerful voice, a "ding dong" sound suddenly rang in Chu Yu's head.
[Ding Dong, it's detected that the current host Chu Yu trainee's favorability is relatively low. The side quest permission has been unlocked. You can choose whether to accept it.]
[TIPS: If you fail to complete a side quest after accepting it, it will have no effect on your book-crossing results. Completing it will directly offset the main quest's trainee favorability and grant you an additional reward.]
Chu Yu, who grew up with game cards, had his eyes light up when he heard this explanation. It would be a shame not to take this side quest. There would be rewards if he completed it and no penalties if he didn't. All in all, he wouldn't lose out.
Pick up. He whispered in his heart.
[Ding Dong, it has been detected that the host has accepted the side quest. The quest content will be released below.]
[Side Quest: Choose any character in the camp to capture. If the character's initial favorability is less than 100, the quest objective is to raise that character's favorability to 100. If the character's favorability has already exceeded 100, the quest objective is to increase the original character's favorability by an additional 100.]
Chu Yu was dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected this kind of mission.
He's a 19-year veteran of social anxiety and a jerk, and he's being asked to seduce and capture other adult males? Really?
It’s a sin, it’s a sin. The child is ignorant and continues to play. Just give up now.
[An additional mission reward is now being announced: a Pardon Card. This card is used in the outcome determination phase after a failed book-crossing mission, and can exempt one death judgment. The cardholder can use it for themselves or transfer it to another.]
Chu Yu was about to send out the words "abandon the mission", but when he heard the announcement, he pressed the button again.
Luo Jiayu beside him was still chattering: "Niu Hulu, got rich overnight, extremely handsome, outstanding and smart, invincible, the future richest man, Luo Luo. Isn't that amazing? But I can't squander money, otherwise my dad will beat me to death when I return to the real world..."
[The following is a list of playable characters: Wei Ziyu, Jiang Chenglu, Fu Hansong, Lu Yiyang, Xue Liu...]
No, I can’t touch a man with a family. He is a principled Capibara.
You can’t touch the cheap ex-boyfriend given by the plot either, he is a Capybara with basic aesthetic taste.
[…Song Lai, Tang Yanning, Li Sheng…]
No, the same model has no future. He is not that hungry to do anything.
The artistic young man is obsessed with a rich woman, and he cannot stop her from pursuing her beautiful dreams, passpass.
Is it really possible to capture a tearful cat head that cries more than him? And a forced melon isn't sweet, especially when both people are melons.
【…Luojia Island.】
"Why aren't you talking?" Luo Jiayu took off his sunglasses, waved in front of his little face, and then smiled.
"What are you looking at me for?"
