Ruan Qing'an had never experienced anything like this before. Whether it was climbing over walls or eavesdropping, she was ultimately just a college student whose family had fallen on hard times and who had started to live on her own at a young age.
From the moment you arrive at the Administration Bureau and begin your newbie journey, encountering everything unfamiliar to you brings immense pressure.
She was just too smart. Despite the pressure, she quickly caught up with X09's pace, became familiar with the Bureau's mission procedures, and tried to learn X09's way of thinking. In short—
Although it was only a short period of time, Ruan Qingan felt that it used more brain cells than he used in a whole day of school or work.
To be precise, this is a "game" without any strategy guides or GM controls, and it could be deadly.
Seemingly sensing Ruan Qing'an's discouragement, perhaps not because he couldn't climb over the wall, perhaps... it was just that his hidden discomfort had erupted somewhat out of control at this moment.
x09's voice suddenly softened: "It's okay. Even if you can't do it, host, I can temporarily take over your body."
Hearing the voice in her mind, though its tone was calm, it conveyed a sense of peace and reassurance. Ruan Qing'an closed her eyes.
She said seriously, "No need, x09, just tell me what to do, I'll try to mobilize the original owner's body's instincts."
"You can take over my body this time, but what about next time, and the time after that? No need..."
x09 did not answer that question. After a moment of silence, its calm and steady voice, gentle yet powerful, said, "I understand, host. I was overthinking it."
The conversations outside the wall gradually faded from attention, and everything around seemed to quiet down. Apart from her own breathing, Ruan Qing'an focused all her attention on the sounds in her mind.
"Take three steps back."
"Speed up and run."
"Lift your right foot."
"Hands out."
Hearing x09's words in his mind, Ruan Qingan stopped thinking and tried to suppress his doubts, following its instructions.
The moment her foot touched the wall, before x09 issued its last command, this series of actions had already awakened the original owner's body's instincts.
Before it finished speaking, Ruan Qing'an's hand was already on the edge of the wall. Then, with a burst of strength in his arm, he pushed off with all his might, his muscles taut, and he flipped her over the wall!
Upon noticing this, Ruan Qing'an was dumbfounded. She never expected that she could actually climb over the wall so easily and comfortably, something she never dared to imagine before.
At this moment, x09 explained, "This is actually a perk of the newbie world, host."
"In the mission world that has officially begun, using the original owner's body's inherent skills, such as dancing, calligraphy, painting, singing, etc., will require paying corresponding points as a price for use."
"However, in the beginner world, since new players have no points and no corresponding adaptability, this service will be provided to you for free, but you will need to pay for it later."
Although that's what she told Ruan Qing'an, there was still a hint of gentle appreciation in x09's words.
At least among new hosts, it is rare to find one like Ruan Qing'an, who can keep up with the train of thought and refuse the system's managed functions so soon after arriving. He is at least considered a high-quality host.
After hearing what x09 said, Ruan Qing'an had no doubts. She knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and that mission takers were essentially just working for the Administration Bureau.
After a brief moment of thought, Nguyen Thanh An asked in return, "Can the Administration provide training in these areas?"
x09's voice carried a faint hint of amusement: "Of course, I will arrange it for you, host. I will teach you all of this."
After settling down on the wall, Ruan Qingan looked down and, sure enough, there were Zhou Zihang and Chen Siyue below the wall, currently arguing and pulling at each other.
From top to bottom, it was just the right time for Nguyen Thanh An to see the two people's faces clearly.
As the male supporting character who is a school bully, Zhou Zihang naturally has the typical bad boy look, full of aggression and violence in his eyes.
As for Chen Siyue, as the female protagonist of youth angst literature, she naturally has a pure and obedient face, looking like a little white rabbit or a little white flower, making her lovable.
At this moment, Zhou Zihang was grabbing Chen Siyue's arm with one hand, his whole body burning with anger, and his aura was even more aggressive: "You fucking have to give me an explanation, Chen Siyue!"
"Why were you there? Tell me, what else could you be doing in a place like that so late at night? I misjudged you, you're not some innocent girl at all!"
Hearing this, Chen Siyue's face turned bright red: "Don't pull me, Zhou Zihang, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Alright, alright, then tell me why you were there!"
"What business is it of yours that I'm there!"
Zhou Zihang was furious. He grabbed Chen Siyue's hand and pulled her against the wall, saying, "Let me tell you, why should I care about you!"
The next moment, Zhou Zihang actually kissed her forcefully, as if he wanted to devour Chen Siyue. After a brief moment of feigned resistance, Chen Siyue stopped "struggling".
Sitting on the wall, Ruan Qing'an thought: ...I'm going to go blind.
Perhaps it was because the morning sun was getting bigger and brighter, casting a shadow from behind Nguyen Thanh An, enveloping the two people who were kissing.
Suddenly, Zhou Zihang's vigorous movements stopped, and Chen Siyue's hand, which had been resisting, turned into a push. After noticing the third person, the two who were reluctant to part suddenly separated.
Zhou Zihang also looked up with a cold expression, suddenly staring upwards: "Who goes there? Get your ass out here!"
"Host, pay attention to your character design."
x09's slightly helpless voice echoed in Ruan Qing'an's mind, and she then came to her senses, awkwardly touching her nose.
Immediately afterward, Ruan Qing'an's expression changed, mimicking the original owner's angry and incredulous look: "Zhou Zihang, what exactly do you mean?!"
"I've been chasing you for so long, and you haven't even bothered to ask. Now you actually like this guy? Are you crazy?!"
Upon noticing that it was Ruan Qing'an, Zhou Zihang's face clearly showed a hint of impatience. He irritably curled his lip and said, "None of your business, get lost, Ruan Qing'an."
Upon seeing Ruan Qing'an, Chen Siyue seemed somewhat frightened and shrank to the side, watching the two of them warily, with obvious embarrassment on her face.
For a moment, Ruan Qing'an even felt as if she were an unforgivable sinner, as if she were about to be hit.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, x09 said softly, "Host, the original owner wouldn't just stand there like a fool. What should you do?"
Ruan Qing'an then realized what was happening and jumped off the wall. The original owner of this body often did this, landing lightly without even making a loud noise.
After landing, she reached out to slap Chen Siyue across the face, but Zhou Zihang grabbed her arm and flung Ruan Qing'an away as expected.
"Stop fucking messing around, Ruan Qing'an. Who do you think you are, daring to hit her?"
"Chen Siyue was worried that you would have someone beat her up after you found out, but I didn't expect it to actually be true. What right do you have to interfere in my affairs!"
