Chapter 137 Anning Town, News

Seeing Huanyan's serious consideration, Xia Tuo felt that if he obstructed her, it would be unreasonable for him.

He was a little helpless, but he still said: "Okay, I will take you there then."

No matter what his own mood is, he shouldn't stop Huanyan from living according to his own ideas.

He also has no position to obstruct.

At least go to the hospital to test her effect on other heart patients, he couldn't object.

With Xia Tuo's support, the smiling face became even brighter: "Xia Tuo, you are really a good person."

Xia Tuo: "..."

Thank you, I don't want to be issued a good card.

After walking for a while, they bumped into a taxi, Huanyan stopped the car, and the two of them took a taxi back to their residence.

Although funds are tight now, Xia Tuo has already walked for an afternoon, and it may take two hours to walk back, and Xia Tuo's body may not be able to bear it by then.

Even though Xia Tuo's condition today is much better than before, Huan Yan can still see that Xia Tuo's face has turned pale.

Can't continue to toss.

This little money cannot be saved.

So, it took another 15 yuan to take a taxi.

Fortunately, the prices in this game are much lower than in the real world, otherwise, the money left over just for taking a taxi may not be enough.

Huanyan asked the car to drop them off at a snack street near Tongzilou. She went to the shop she visited at noon to pack two portions of Yangzhou fried rice and went home, spending another ten yuan.

Back in Room 307 of Tongzi Building, Xia Tuo turned on the light, sat on the sofa and counted the remaining money.

Including those fifty-one-dollar coins, there was a total of 33 dollars left.

"In the next few days, we can only eat steamed buns, steamed buns, and siu mai to fill our stomachs." Xia Tuo said to Huanyan, "If we all eat Yangzhou fried rice in the next few days, a meal for two will cost ten yuan, 33 yuan only. It’s enough for three meals, and if you don’t eat breakfast, it’s only enough for two days.”

The big meat bun here costs [-] yuan, and the vegetable bun costs [-] cents. It is cheap and easy to fill your stomach. It is the best choice when you are poor.

Thinking about it carefully, he seems to have never lived such a poor life.

"Listen to your arrangement." Huanyan took out the packaged Yangzhou fried rice and placed it on the dining table, "Anyway, it's only a few days, so I almost ate it."

Although she likes to eat all kinds of delicious food, but when the conditions are limited, she never makes a fuss about eating good food.

As long as Xia Tuo can accept it, she has no objections at all.

"Then follow this plan first." Xia Tuo made a decision.

The two of them had dinner, washed up briefly, and were ready to rest.

Although it's only past nine o'clock, it's really early to go to bed at this o'clock, but if you have time to rest in the game, you have to hurry up and rest, who knows if you can be so idle later.

"Let's take turns keeping vigil." Xia Tuo suggested, "I don't know if it's safe here at night. It's always better to be cautious."

"I agree." Huanyan sat on the sofa, "I'll watch the first half of the night, you go to bed first."

Xia Tuo did not refuse, and walked into the inner room.

In so many years, his physical exertion is the greatest today. It is a surprise that his heart does not hurt, but I am afraid that he cannot continue. He urgently needs sleep to replenish his strength.

Xia Tuo didn't close the door of the inner room, if something happened, they could find out and react in time.

Huanyan sat on the sofa and had nothing else to do, so she simply studied the only app that could be opened on her phone.

At the bottom of her task bar, the words [Completed] have been marked on the back of the first task.

However, on the [total score] behind her avatar, it still shows 0.

The time has not come yet, and the score will not come out.

She glanced at the friend list again, and the only friend she has at present is a woman in a cheongsam.

She clicked on the profile picture of the woman in cheongsam, and found that she could enter the homepage of the woman in cheongsam.

However, there is not much useful information for her on the homepage, but some dynamics similar to circle of friends.

Most of them are selfies of women in cheongsam, and some excerpts from the Internet about the pain of youth, each of which seems to have something to do with her boyfriend.

Being idle is also idle, so Huanyan simply watched every movement of the cheongsam woman.

After reading everything, she had nothing to do, so she fumbled a little, and quickly figured out how to use this app to send herself updates.

So, she sent herself the first post.

[To search for game controllers, two people give more than 100 yuan, and they are reluctant to give [-] yuan to each of them! ]
After the news was sent out, she enjoyed it for a while with satisfaction, and finally saw that the time had reached zero.

She clicked on the taskbar.

After the three words [Completed] of the first task, there was an extra sentence [Score: 18 points], and behind her avatar, the total score changed from zero to 18.

"My performance is so good, it's fine if I don't get a perfect score, why don't I even have 19 points?" Huanyan stared with dissatisfaction on her face, "What is the reason for deducting two points if I have the ability to mark it!"

As she spoke, she stared at the ceiling, as if staring at the game controller through the ceiling.

"It's fine if you give money, but if you score, the game controller this time is really too stingy to be on the stage." Her voice was not high, and she didn't want to disturb Xia Tuo's rest.

But whether the game controller can hear it or not, she's going to say it.

It would be best if the game controller just hid in the dark to observe her and heard her words.

Let it listen to how she scolds it.

After scolding, Huanyan felt that she was in a good mood, so she turned on the turntable and started to rotate her tasks for the next day.

The turntable still rotated for about 1 minute before stopping.

This time, her mission is to work part-time at the "Constellation Coffee Shop" for a day, to satisfy both the customers and the boss, and to get a day's salary.

Huanyan raised one eyebrow slightly.

This is for her to work to earn money by herself.

It's not a bad thing, after all, if she gets the money, she won't have to eat buns for the next few days.

But... It may be difficult for her to satisfy both the guests and the boss.

After all, just seeing this sentence, she can imagine what kind of difficulties and troubles she will face.

With her temper, it is a bit difficult to hold back when she is being made difficult.

But if she beats someone, her satisfaction will definitely drop. Once her satisfaction drops, her score will decrease.

She felt that she did a good job in the first task, so she deducted two points.

If the satisfaction of the second task is too low, it may not necessarily get two points.

Huanyan looked thoughtful.

It feels like this task is a bit difficult for her.

She would rather fight a hundred enemies at the same time than do this kind of mission that requires swallowing her breath.

Isn't this a mission specially arranged for her by the game controller, just to make things difficult for her?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, she will keep this account on the head of the game controller anyway!

what?
Unreasonable?

What reason should I tell the game controller?
When I pulled her into the game, I didn't reason with her!

*
At two o'clock in the morning, Huanyan woke Xia Tuo up.

Xia Tuo glanced at the score on his mobile phone for the first time, and at the same time heard Huanyan complaining that her score was only [-] points
"The rules of the game say that you can pass the level if you score more than 85 points, and it can be seen that it is difficult to get a full score this time." Xia Tuo comforted, "You only deducted two points, which is already very good, and your score is higher than mine. .”

"Really?" Huanyan blinked and moved closer to Xia Tuo, looking at the phone screen in Xia Tuo's hand, "How much score do you have?"

"Seventeen points." Xia Tuo let Huanyan clearly see the total score behind his avatar, and then took back the phone.

"Well, from this point of view, my score is still good." Huanyan quickly put the matter behind her, and urged Xia Tuo expectantly, "Use the dial quickly and see what your task for the next day is. What."

Xia Tuo turned on the turntable according to his words, and the pointer stopped after 1 minute.

"Go to 'Xiaowang Baozi Shop' to catch ten mice and feed them to stray cats nearby..." Huanyan read out the mission content, and then she curled her lips, "Why do I feel that your mission is much simpler than mine? gone."

This made her even more suspicious that her mission was specially arranged by the game controller.

Huanyan narrowed her eyes slightly.

Don't let her grab it, or you'll beat her to death!

"Actually, your task is not difficult," Xia Tuo commented objectively, "it's just a little difficult for you."

If you were a person who often worked around for a living, getting such a task would be no different from working part-time. At most, you would encounter extraordinarily many strange customers in a day, and the patience would pass.

But for a person like Huanyan, who has hardly encountered many grievances, and will hardly allow herself to be wronged, this has indeed become a difficult task.

After thinking about it, Xia Tuo said: "No matter what troubles you encounter tomorrow, you should try your best to bear it first. Don't yell at people when you disagree, let alone hit them. Think about yourself for points, think about those NPCs It's all done on purpose, just to make you angry and make you beat them up, you can't let them do what they want."

"Understood." Huanyan nodded and added, "I will try my best."

She can't guarantee 100% that she can control it, but now that she is mentally prepared, she should be able to control herself a little bit.

"It's getting late, get some rest." Xia Tuo got off the bed, "You have to apply for a job tomorrow, so you can't get up too late."

After speaking, he went to the outside room.

Huanyan glanced at the bed, said nothing, and lay down obediently.

There is only one quilt on this bed, and there is no spare in the closet. It is still winter, and it is not realistic to sleep without a quilt.

So she can only avoid it...

Huanyan sniffed her nose.

...doesn't seem to smell bad.

The quilt covered by Xia Tuo has a faint smell, but it is not the smell of "stinky man" that Huan Yan thought, but a light fragrance.

It's like the smell of green grass mixed with dew, with a refreshing breath.

She wasn't disgusted, and even thought it smelled a little nice.

Huanyan rolled twice on the bed and wrapped herself up with the quilt.

There was still Xia Tuo's body temperature in the quilt, which was warm and comfortable.

Well, she doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable sleeping on someone else's quilt as before.

Thinking of this, she gradually relaxed, and soon fell asleep.

Xia Tuo was sitting on the sofa, flipping through the details on the app, getting familiar with the various functions of the app.

At this time, a pop-up news popped up on the APP.

The headline reads [The woman was killed, the murderer was her boyfriend] in bold bold characters.

Xia Tuo was not interested, and was about to close the pop-up news, but stopped when he glanced at the blurry silhouette below the news.

He clicked on the pop-up news to take a closer look.

Excluding those useless nonsense, in summary, a woman's body was found in a small alley with no surveillance and few people passing by. The police quickly launched an investigation and quickly locked the suspect. Capture him within.

The suspect is the woman's boyfriend, and has pleaded guilty.

These are actually not what Xia Tuo cares about. What Xia Tuo cares about is that a frontal photo of the victim is attached to the news.

Although the face was mosaic, it can still be seen from the hairstyle and dress that the deceased was the cheongsam woman who introduced the overall situation of Tongzilou to them during the day.

When the news popped up, there was no frontal photo, but from the blurry profile photo, he could see that the person was wearing a cheongsam.

At that time, he had some guesses in his mind.

After all, this is not the real world, and it is unlikely that a piece of news that is not related to their players pops up for no reason.

Especially with such obvious cheongsam features, he could easily think of that cheongsam woman.

Sure enough, he guessed right.

Unexpectedly, the person who had just met during the day saw the news of death.

However, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations because of the death of an NPC. What he cared about was how this incident would affect him and Huanyan.

As the first NPC encountered in the game, he died so soon, but let him see it in the form of news.

If it didn't affect them in any way, it would surprise him instead.

The first thing he suspected was whether the so-called "boyfriend" of the cheongsam woman was one of the eight players.

After all, they hadn't met other players on the first day of the game.

Since eight players are in the same game, there shouldn't be any intersection from beginning to end.

But when he saw that "boyfriend has pleaded guilty to the law", he vetoed his idea just now.

Even if there is a player whose first day's mission is to kill an NPC, he shouldn't be caught so easily, and even if he is caught, he shouldn't plead guilty so easily.

Otherwise it will definitely affect the task score.

The score of the first task is very low, and the probability of being able to pass the game is very low.

Therefore, the possibility of the murderer being a player is relatively low.

But if the murderer is not a player, and the cheongsam woman is dead, how will this matter affect him and Huanyan?
