Time flew by once they had been inside the mission world. On the final day of their mission, #2 nearly forgot that they had been inside a digital actuality. 

Earlier than they left, #2 had been racking his brains looking for a deal with for Ai Bei’s toothbrush. The entire toothbrushes in jail had their handles damaged off, solely the toothbrush head could be left. Ai Bei was having lots of issue making an attempt to carry the comb. 

His again dealing with the remainder, he squatted down within the nook along with his sleeves rolled up. He took a drawl from his cigarette and weighed the toothbrush in his left hand, as if weighing a rock, as an thought shaped in his head.

Earlier than he might actualise something, the mission interval of 1 week ended. A white gentle glowed, and him, along with Ai Bei who had been scrunched up sleeping on the mattress, was despatched again to the coaching room. 

The ambiance inside the coaching room was slightly off.

After a second of silence, #3 lifted her lips as she applaused for Ai Bei, as if praising her for her strikes she pulled contained in the world, “unimaginable.”

#3 did the identical mission as Ai Bei, and #3 hated #2, however #3 had by no means as soon as thought of making an energetic effort to reverse her state of affairs. Compared to her, #5 was significantly better at this recreation.

#1’s gaze on Ai Bei was slightly unusual too, as if he was making an attempt to determine precisely what sort of individual she was. Alternatively, #4 who had written the mission and was deducted 5 factors was silent.

The competitors waited for nobody. Subsequent, it was Ai Bei’s flip to enter a personality transient for #1’s mission. Ai Bei would even be the one to find out which individual #1 would assume.

#1 smiled and tried to probe: “Ought to I be a part of you guys?” He wished to know if Ai Bei would put him in jail. 

It could be a lot simpler for him if he didn’t want to hitch them in jail for his mission. However even when he did, he nonetheless had an ace on his fingers, and that was #2, so issues would end up fairly fascinating too. After spectating Ai Bei’s efficiency, he felt as if he’d discovered a worthy opponent, so sticking his nostril into their state of affairs was maybe his adrenaline attending to his head.

On the opposite aspect of the room, #2 remained silent after returning. He was nonetheless making an attempt to retune himself again to actuality after experiencing all of that within the digital world. The after-effects of such a 100% full-dive digital expertise was that it might confuse folks, and people who exit from the VR world would combine up their actuality with what occurred occured within the VR world.

#2 wished to know what Ai Bei had in thoughts too. If #1 was despatched to jail, it was purported to be a gleeful sight for him, but one way or the other, he felt unwilling, as if he didn’t need him to look.

As if oblivious to the tense ambiance, Ai Bei keyed within the final code earlier than she gave #1 her first smile, her tone gentle, “there’s no want.”

Regardless of solely talking three phrases, she left everybody questioning what she’d meant.

The character transient she’d set for #1 was similar to his actual background — a charismatic and fashionable younger grasp hailing from a wealthy household at school. The mission Ai Bei set was: get the prettiest woman aka #3 to fall in love with him with out revealing his mission particulars; his mission length was one week. 

Normally, mission data had been be public and open to viewing by the members of their group. Nevertheless, the mission-giver was additionally in a position to “lock up” the mission particulars in order that the group members wouldn’t have the ability to see it.

Even when #1 needed to preserve it beneath wraps, this was not a tough mission for him. 

——Or not less than that was what he had initially thought. 

To him, getting a lady to fall in love with him was as straightforward as respiratory. His childhood buddy had as soon as joked that he was like a peacock, there’d be ladies leaping at him as if he was a peacock spreading its feathers. Although it was a joke, his buddy’s phrases had been not directly strengthened his allure. 

#1 instinctively neglected the earlier futile try at placing a a dialog with Ai Bei. On the very least, #3 was receptive and pleasant to him from the get go.

The system’s detection of 1 “falling in love” was not sophisticated, they go by the rushing up of the individual’s coronary heart price.

Nevertheless after the length was over, he was shocked to study that he failed the mission.

#1 was undoubtedly not happening the identical route #2 did — he didn’t make an enormous commotion about making an attempt to chase #3 within the mission, so he undoubtedly did make a public confession. He remained comparatively low-key about it, and his treats got here within the type of candlelight dinner, cruise journey and feasts beneath the northern lights. They’d many glad outings, and the ambiance was nearly romantic at instances. Not solely so, he additionally topped all of it off with some flirting. Regardless of so, #3 was not a single bit moved.

After returning to the coaching room, #1 was remained in a daze by the “mission failed” phrases, flabberghasted.

He couldn’t imagine that he misplaced two rounds consecutively, and have become the primary one to be kicked out. 

#3 drank a sip of water and exhaled. After she realised what #1’s mission was, an expression of shock colored her face, “it’s best to’ve mentioned earlier! Even if you happen to can’t, not less than drop me a touch or one thing?”

If #1 was as high-key as #2 had been, to the extent that your complete college knew he was chasing her, she possibly may have the ability to sense that one thing was up. 

After being pulled into the digital world as a “device”, she began probing #1 in an try to know the state of affairs, however #1 saved his mouth tightly zipped. Beneath such a state of affairs, the low-key vacation journeys didn’t get to her; her head was filled with the mission and making an attempt to determine her sitaution out. 

The 2 of them had been allies per say, so naturally she’d hoped that he would have the ability to efficiently full his mission and take Ai Bei’s factors. However #1 didn’t point out something about it. She figured that it was due to the circumstances that’s why he couldn’t say something, but it surely shouldn’t be to the purpose the place he didn’t even give her a touch. All he knew was to deliver her round with a cheerful face, how on the earth was she purported to determine something out! 

The knowledge mismatch contributed to his undoing. ♢ CHART TOPPER QUEEN, CHAPTER 09 is hosted at ZHANLANN.COM ♢

Ai Bei was not shocked by the result. After #1 was eradicated, she didn’t take a look at him anymore. 

Although #1 was eradicated, he didn’t go away the coaching room. He remained sitting at his seat as an alternative, evidently very sad in regards to the final result. The system didn’t kick him out of the coaching room both. 

After the primary spherical of missions ended, the factors had been as follows:

#1 was eradicated, #2 had 18 factors, #3 had 2 factors, #4 had 10 factors, #5 had 20 factors. 

The second spherical began. As a result of #1 was eradicated, #2’s character and mission was set by Ai Bei. 

The gamers with the very best factors had been #2 and Ai Bei. If nothing goes improper, the 2 gamers that may have the ability to proceed to the following spherical could be the 2 of them. Nevertheless, the competitors was nonetheless occurring, so something was attainable. 

#2 noticed Ai Bei biting on her nail intinctively. After their interval of interplay, he knew that this was a behavior she had when she was feeling slightly tough and slightly at loss.

Ever since leaving their digital world, she had not checked out him even as soon as. 

Although he knew this was a contest, and that nobody would take no matter occurred within the digital world too severely, he nonetheless felt as if he had been stung by a bug. He felt as if one thing was throbbing in ache, and after the ache it turned an itch that didn’t go away.

He had no thought why however he all of the sudden spoke. 

“I’m afraid of heights.”

The male voice that all of the sudden sounded in her personal message had Ai Bei glancing up at him. By then, #2 had already turned to look away, his heartbeat thundering away in his chest, as if he wasn’t the one which simply spoken.

Unbeknowst to the remainder, a hidden “change” had silently occured.  

Because the system had a minimal and most cap for the mission issue, Ai Bei’s mission for #2 needed to be set in the identical jail surroundings too. And so, she received him to secretly climb up the jail dormitories and look down on the first ground. #2 stood earlier than the railing for a bit earlier than he waved his fingers: “I can’t do it.”

His straightforwardness was nearly dashing, if it weren’t for his trembling legs that Ai Bei observed. 

“Is that this thought of dishonest?” #3 frowned. She didn’t perceive what had simply occurred, as a result of #2 gave up too rapidly, as if this was all simply formality. Evidently one thing was off. The individual being questioned ignored her. Solely #4 tugged on her sleeve, and gestured at her to have a look at the projection. 

The system indicated that Ai Bei didn’t violate any guidelines; in different phrases, her actions had been inside the scope of the competitors. 

In any case, there was no rule that barred gamers from “freely giving their factors” without spending a dime.

Ai Bei had already collected the complete marks of 25 factors; she was eligible to proceed to the following spherical.

The competitors continued. #3 sucked it up, accomplished #2’s nitpicky requests and safely secured her 3 factors, and collated a complete of 5 factors for herself, earlier than “giving her factors away” to #4.
