They were only on the same bus together, but Zhu Shuangshuang felt a little strangely reluctant for no reason seeing them leave.
In this weird game, if they met again next time, she
didn’t know what it would be like.
She didn’t know if there would even be a chance that
they could see each other again.
When Zhu Shuangshuang returned to her senses, Ning Su
had already disappeared.
Su Xiangsheng was talking to a man who probably just
grabbed him, and the other was trying to scam him.
Zhu Shuangshuang dragged him over and asked anxiously: “Where is Ning Su?”
Su Xiangsheng also didn’t notice Ning Su leaving. “I don’t know ah.”
***
Ning Su was standing in front of a bun stall that was in front of a hotel.
It should be affiliated with the hotel and was moved outside to serve those who
were in a hurry and needed to fill their stomachs quickly.
A large steamed bun just came out of the pan, steaming
hot with the aroma of vegetables and meat.
The players scanned the system to pay without saying a
word, took the buns, and left.
When the players bought almost all of them, the boss
smiled and looked at the boy who had been staring at the steamed stuffed bun,
and he could tell what was going on with him at a glance, “No points, right?”
Ning Su nodded, but still did not take his eyes off the
bun.
“There are only two left, so I will make an exception
for you. Just exchange whatever you have with me, and I’ll give you the two
buns.”
He’s a newcomer who just got off the bus. He had nothing on him. Not like
Zhu Shuangshuang, who had expensive earrings. He was a boy without earrings,
and he was still a little poor ghost from the apocalypse.
But... Ning Su reached into his pocket and took out a
small card.
The card was made of an unknown red material, with a
line of shimmering numbers on it: 4-10326.
The driver stuffed it in his pocket earlier when they
were still on the bus.
Others might have only seen the driver put her hand in
his pocket, but did not notice the thing that she stuffed in it.
“Is this okay?” Ning Su handed the card to the boss.
The boss looked over lazily. A person who didn’t even
have points, he expected nothing from whatever the other took out. But when he
saw the thing in Ning Su’s hands, the boss’s pupils shrank suddenly.
He looked at Ning Su seriously again, trying to steady
his voice. “Do you really want to exchange the buns with that card?”
Ning Su nodded, “Yeah.”
The boss quickly took the card, put the steamed stuffed
bun into a paper bag and put it in his hand. He also handed him a bottle of
milk.
The boss stared at him nervously for fear that he would
regret exchanging the card.
The young man lowered his head slightly, looking at the
two steaming white and fat buns in his left hand and a bottle of hot milk in
his right hand.
The soft hair fell on the ends of the eyes, and the
steam from the steamed buns floated onto the long eyelashes, making those peach
blossom eyes more sparkling.
Peach blossom eyes should be affectionate and lively,
but his eyes are stagnant and quiet, but it still looked very harmonious on his
face.
He blinked slightly, and the boss actually saw a
satisfied sense of happiness on his face.
Boss: “?”
The boss watched him take a bite of the soft bun in his
left hand, then took a sip of the milk in his right hand. He squinted his eyes
and left contentedly.
“How high is his charm value that an NPC gave him an invitation card? Do
murderous NPCs even have the desire to fall in love?
The boss said: “Are there still a few perverted NPCs in the game?”
He handed him the card. “Hurry and give it to the
president!”
Ning Su didn’t seem to have heard the discussion
between the two. He walked slowly as he ate the steamed buns and drank milk.
After walking for a while, he looked up and saw a place
called the game hall.
Ning Su raised his foot and walked in.
The game hall was very large. As soon as he entered the
door, he saw the light screens on both sides of the hall. There were club
rankings and personal rankings on it.
Ning Su didn’t look at it. He walked to the inner
floor, and there were various pictures on the countless light screens, which
were the login entrances of each dungeon copy.
Each dungeon had a 10-second dungeon scene to play.
Players could guess the dungeon type based on the 10-second video, and then
determine whether to choose to enter this dungeon.
Ning Su watched a few, and each dungeon had a
requirement for the number of people, with a minimum of five each.
He walked and watched, and when he saw the sixth one,
there were many people gathered in front of it.
Ning Su looked up. The copy of the game was called
“Ghost Animal”, number 2-9101.
He saw several beautiful little houses on the light
screen, which were very suitable for his liking.
“What kind of ghost is a ghost animal? Could it be
animals that became ghost?”
“I think the two words [ghost] and [animal] (*1)
should be read separately.”
“Then, a ghost that is like a beast?”
“Whatever is it, it has a ghost in it. So, this is a
supernatural copy. It’s likely to be a decryption type or a survival type.”
The video was only 10 seconds long, and it looped
automatically after it was played. The second time it was played, while Ning Su
was staring at a beautiful house, he heard the person who analyzed the dungeon
said “survival type”.
Due to him living in the apocalypse, the word
‘survival’ caught his attention.
He seriously asked: “Survival type? If I survive even
as a salted fish(*2), can I still pass the level?”
The game hall was extremely bright, and the walls all had lights. Under
such lighting, the pale complexion of the young man was much softer and
brighter. The subtle stiffness in his expression couldn’t be hidden.
He was also holding a bottle of milk, the most common
one that could be found on the road without a trademark.
The people around looked at him like a fool, noticing
the slight stiffness in his expression and the bottle of milk. They seemed to
be stunned again.
It’s a pity having that face.
Someone sighed inwardly, and secretly sympathized with
him. Even though he grew up with such a face, his brain had problems. In the
game where a person’s shortcomings were infinitely magnified, he didn’t know
what would happen to this guy.
Someone looked at him vaguely, with an indescribable
smile on the corner of his mouth.
Ning Su lowered his head and took a sip of milk.
An especially tall man in a trench coat looked away
from Ning Su’s face and asked the woman beside him, “Are you ready?”
The woman said, “This dungeon is short of three
people.”
“Start the game first, then let the dungeon summon the
remaining players.”
After the words fell, the 10 people in front of the
light screen disappeared at the same time.
Translation Corner
*1 - The Characters used for 'Ghost Animal' was [鬼畜]. If they were read separately, then they would give a different meaning.
*2 - Salted fish is originally a metaphor for a corpse. But now, it's often used as a slang to refer to people who have no intention of doing anything.
I can't wait to see him inside the dungeon and his interaction with the other NPCs.
