Chapter 164: Chapter 164 – [Exclusive Level-Up Games (Level 3)] (3-in-1)
“Yeah, I was working at a secret base for some time and was unable to make phone calls… How did Sister do in the examination?… What? You did not ask her about it? That’s true though, there’s no point in asking since the examination is already over… Alright, alright, I will buy dumplings to eat.”
“Yeah, Director Huo, I am back and will reactivate the emergency calling system when I reach.”
“What! Submit another a.n.a.lysis report on ‘Naisser Ren’ before the end of the month? I don’t think he uploaded a new video yet though? … I should study his previous videos if he has no new video?”
It was half a month since he last used his mobile phone and communicated. Although Ren Suo was single and lonely, he was still his mother’s son and a slave of society, so there were communications he ought to have, and jobs he ought to do…
The flight from Tianjing to Lianjiang City took just three hours, but Ren Suo only boarded the plane at noon and the Heavenly Inst.i.tution of Lianjiang was also located in a remote area of Lianjiang City (otherwise how could it be surrounding a mountain); as such, it was already dinner time by the time he reached his dormitory.
Ren Suo was forced to head to the third-floor dining hall to fill his empty stomach, but unfortunately, he b.u.mped into Lin Xianyu and Gu Yueyan. For some reason, the two of them became good friends, when they clearly did not see eye to eye previously.
Ren Suo had just finished a long journey by plane and car and was too tired to bother about them. He had no appet.i.te either and would unlikely be eating supper, later on, so he only ordered a seafood hotpot—that was how awesome the food choices on the third floor were.
However, when Ren Suo sat down at a table, the two nosy female high school students came over and sat opposite him staring.
Ren Suo shot a look at them as he picked up a piece of deep-fried tofu skin and dipped it in ginger and spring onion sauce—the freshness of the seafood hotpot and the fragrance of the ginger with spring onion complementing the crispness of the deep-fried tofu skin erupted in his mouth with a familiar taste.
Gu Yueyan said, “Hmph, sc.u.mbag.”
Lin Xianyu said, “Hmph, sc.u.mbag.”
Ren Suo picked up the fresh prawn and dipped it in soy sauce.
Gu Yueyan said, “Who knew, you are actually a refined sc.u.m who took advantage of others when they are in danger?”
Lin Xianyu swallowed her saliva and said, “Who knew, you are actually a refined sc.u.m who took advantage of others when they are in danger?”
Ren Suo picked up a prawn meatball and snorted “Tsk” a few times as he looked hesitantly at the sauces in front of him.
Gu Yueyan said, “I knew you were not a good person from a long time ago, but I did not expect you to be so despicable.”
Lin Xianyu said, “I knew you were not a good person from a long time ago, but I did not expect—Ah! This would only be nice if it is dipped in satay sauce!”
Ren Suo looked at them and said, “Bring your own bowl and chopsticks over to eat.”
Gu Yueyan was furious and exclaimed, “How could I eat this sc.u.m’s—”
Lin Xianyu held her bowl in her hands as she remarked, “This is so delicious.”
Gu Yueyan looked at her companion and was completely speechless. She said, “Didn’t you just eat a dumpling and said you were full? Didn’t we agree to condemn him when he comes back!”
Lin Xianyu mumbled, “I’m only eating a small bit to try its taste… I can’t afford seafood hotpots most of the time…”
It was only when Ren Suo was half full when he asked lazily, “As soon as I came back, you came over to scold me. However, even before a prisoner is shot, he would still be informed of his crimes. So what did I do wrong again?”
Gu Yue widened her eyes in fury. She said, “You… You actually said something so obnoxious when you were helping Teacher Dong bare some of the danger she was in!”
Unfazed, Ren Suo replied, “What did I say?”
Gu Yueyan blushed as she stood up and pointed at Ren Suo and said, “You… you said—”
Ren s...o...b..rped with a filled stomach and looked at Gu Yueyan sincerely.
Gu Yue said angrily, “I’ve never seen a shameless person like you!”
Very loudly, she said, “That night, you said… your request to her was ‘I want to sleep with you’!”
As soon as Gu Yueyan said that, the entire third floor of the dining room fell silent. Other than faculty members, there were also some students who achieved good grades and had many points who were on the third-floor dining hall to supplement their nutrition intake.
Noticing everyone’s gaze converging on her, Gu Yueyan started s.h.i.+vering in embarra.s.sment, and let out a sorrowful cry before quickly running away.
And then it was Ren Suo’s turn to be watched by everyone.
“… Private Salted Fis.h.!.+” Ren Suo said.
“Here!” Lin Xianyu replied.
“It’s all yours now,” Ren Suo said.
Lin Xianyu looked at the pot of seafood in front of her and nodded vigorously, “I will not disappoint you, sir!”
Ren Suo hurriedly proceeded to buy a large dumpling before everyone had an impression of him; otherwise, rumors of “a faculty member hitting on a student” would emerge, and while it did not matter to Ren Suo, losing his job of being a ‘slacker’ would be a great deal.
Ren Suo was slightly more energized after filling his stomach. When he returned to his familiar home, he sighed as he first took a rag and a broom to quickly clean the room and the dust that had formed after half a month. He then took a bath before lying down comfortably on the couch. He unwrapped the dumpling into a white porcelain bowl, inserted the fork into it, and began eating the dumpling as he turned on the Mini Worlds Gaming Console.
That was the practice of a hardcore gamer. Before starting to play, the gamer should first clean the room, bathe and change clothes, then prepare some food in order to get the best gaming experience in the most comfortable environment!
“Mini worlds of endless fun await!”
Upon hearing the long-missed startup tone, Ren s...o...b..rst into tears of excitement.
It was finally his turn to bring ‘endless joy’ to others.
Ren Suo first took a look at his gains from the past half a month: there were two keys, one of which was a “1-star s.p.a.ce key” and the other was a “2-star resentment key”. The former was given by Dong Chengling and the latter was given by Qiao Muyi.
Prior to that, Qiao Muyi had already given him a “one-star resentment key”, and that essentially supported Ren Suo’s theory: After the capabilities of the key carrier rose a tier, the key carrier could give him another, upgraded key.
In that way, Ren Suo would have many more options to work with, and he could take the development route! As long as he made good friends with those who had strong talents, it would be equivalent to having a constant source of keys!
Of course, there was another way Ren Suo could play: it was to take the domination route and dominate one side to gather all the key carriers, and there would be any key he wanted!
Ren Suo dreamed about his happy life after becoming the overlord: he would be able to open any treasure chest that comes his way, regardless of its star-rating, wow, that’s amazing!
It was as if he imagined that he won five million dollars: he could pay, at the least, the down payment of any house he fancied, wow, that’s amazing!
Then he also imagined himself to be a harem king: all s.e.xually explicit content, wow, that’s amazing!
After daydreaming about his fantasies, Ren Suo obediently returned to the game console screen.
There was a spinning disc icon at the lower right corner of “The All-Devouring Soul”, which likely meant that it was “uploading”, or more aptly, “the game is becoming reality”.
Ren Suo counted the days and realized that in a few days, the Reiki Treasure of the Federation would be opened. When that happened, Ren Suo would have to see if there was a live broadcast of it—but Naisser Ren would very likely upload a 4K HD video as well, so Ren Suo was not in a hurry.
The next big thing was to open the “World Shop”!
Today was the Dragon Boat Festival!
It was a pity that he had missed the Grain in Ear Solar Term promotion event…
Ren Suo thought about what he had missed, but the promotion event that appeared in the World Store was not “Dragon Boat Festival Discount Event”, and there were no “Free Games of the Month”.
There was only a game [Desire City Persona!] and a section called [Exclusive Level-Up Games (Level 3)].
Ren Suo conceded the moment he looked at the price of [Desire City Persona!]—it was a 4-star game that cost 520 merit points, goodbye!
However, why were there no “Free Games of the Month” either? Did he really miss them?
However, when Ren Suo opened the [Exclusive Level-Up Games (Level 3)] section, he suddenly felt that the Naisser Ren Corporation which operated the game console was the same as Qiao Muyi—they were angels!
[As the player’s level is currently Level 3 and will soon become a Level 4 player, the monthly free games and monthly promotional campaigns will be merged into the [Exclusive Level-Up Games (Level 3)] section.]
[All games in this section will have a rating of no fewer than 3 stars.]
[All games in this section will have a maximum reward of no fewer than 200 merit points.]
[There would be 3 games in this section.]
[The games in this section are all free to play, but only one game can be selected each month. If the player is not promoted to the next level by the next month, the player may choose to ‘refresh’ or ‘do not refresh’ the games in this section.]
