Chapter 147: Tranquility Town 18
"My current total score is one point less than yours." Huanyan hummed twice, but didn't continue to say anything. She turned on the turntable and waited for her fourth day's task to appear.

Soon, she saw her new mission.

[Participate in a small town run around town and finish in the top five. ]
She clicked on the homepage of the APP and took a look, and sure enough, she saw a poster picture in the lower corner, which was about the running competition around the town.

After clicking on the poster, you can see the detailed content about the running competition around the town, including the specific time and registration point.

"My task is to sell ten bottles of mineral water at the running venue around the town." Xia Tuo told Huanyan about her task.

"It's quite a coincidence." Huanyan handed her mobile phone to Xia Tuo, "The two of us have the same mission location."

Xia Tuo glanced at Huanyan's task, and then looked at the news on the APP about the running competition around the town.

Then he said to Huanyan: "I guess, in this mission, the other six players should all be there. Not all of them are running missions, but most likely they will all appear at the scene of the running competition around the town."

"I think the same as you." Huanyan nodded, "This running around the town should be a big event in Anning Town, with a large number of participants, it is very suitable for gathering all players."

After thinking for a while, Huanyan said again: "Besides, my task ranking requirement is only the top five, so I guess there should be quite a few fast runners in the NPC."

From the difference in mission content between her and Xia Tuo, it can be seen that not all players will participate in the running competition.

Even if other players except Xia Tuo will participate in the running competition, it will not be too difficult for seven people to compete for the top five places, and the competition pressure will not be too great.

What's more, she doesn't think that the task content of the remaining players is to participate in the running competition, so the pressure to compete for places will be even less.

This is not in line with the original intention of the game.

Therefore, the pressure of competition should not only exist among players, but the pressure from NPCs may be even greater.

"You're right." Xia Tuo affirmed Huanyan's thoughts, "And I think there should be competitors for my mission, but I don't know if it will be players and NPCs, or just NPCs."

NPC competitors definitely exist, there is no doubt about this, but I don't know if there will be players with the same mission as him.

"Don't worry, no matter how many competitors there are, I will help you complete your mission." Huanyan patted her chest and promised.

"My task is just a waste of time and tongue. I can handle it myself. You just need to concentrate on completing your task." Xia Tuo reminded worriedly, "You are here to compete for the ranking, don't focus on Elsewhere, failure is no joke."

Although it is just a running competition, no one is sure if there will be any stumbling during the running.

It is not stated in the rules, so we will always plan for the worst possibility.

Care must be taken.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Huanyan didn't argue, and obediently agreed, "If you have any troubles, don't hold on, remember to ask me to help."

How long her running task takes actually depends on how fast she runs and when she can reach the finish line.

If Xia Tuo needs it, she can run as fast as possible, so she has time to help.

Xia Tuo nodded, but before he could speak, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in the sky.

It was a childish voice between male and female.

[Unfortunately, three players have already lost their qualifications to continue the mission. 】

Huanyan and Xia Tuo glanced at each other, but were not surprised by this situation.

Although there are still two tasks that have not been completed, as long as the total score of the first three tasks has been deducted by more than 15 points, then even if the next two tasks have full marks, the game cannot be cleared.

In this case, there is no need to continue the task at all, and you will lose the qualification for customs clearance directly.

However, this kind of thing is not easy to cause players to have much negative emotions. In fact, there is no need to make a special announcement.

unless there is another purpose.

Just when the two people had this idea at the same time, the voice sounded again.

[However, these three players will get special missions, as long as they can complete them, they will get the chance to return to the game. 】

[After returning to the game, the missions of the first four days are counted as clearance, and in the missions of the last day, as long as they can get 15 points, they can pass the game. 】

[The specific task has been issued, please be informed. 】

After that, the sound disappeared.

"Sure enough, treacherous." Huan Yan laughed, "With such a big temptation, those three players will definitely do their best to do special tasks. Moreover, the special tasks are definitely related to the other five players. task is more difficult.”

"In fact, if the notification is not announced, it will be beneficial to the three players. When the notification comes out, other players will be vigilant." Xia Tuo frowned slightly, "But this should be what the game controller wants to see. All players They will all become tense because of such notifications, and more energy nutrients will be generated.”

"I also think that the game controller deliberately released such news to make all the players nervous." Huan Yan leaned on the sofa, "Everyone doesn't know what the three upcoming special tasks are. , I don’t know who the three players are, this kind of uncertainty is the most annoying.”

Speaking of this, she smiled: "But I'm not nervous. The soldiers come to cover the water and the earth, and they are fearless."

She blinked at Xia Tuo: "Don't be nervous, I will protect you."

"...I'm not nervous at all." Xia Tuo said helplessly.

Although Huanyan is nominally his hired bodyguard, there is nothing wrong with protecting him, and Huanyan is indeed very strong, but what Huanyan said made him feel weak.

Maybe he is not as strong as Huanyan, but compared with many other players, he is still very powerful.

"Since you're not nervous, go to bed quickly." Huanyan waved her hand, "I'll wake you up at seven."

The round-the-town running race starts at 09:30 a.m. and the registration deadline is [-]:[-].

It wouldn't take too long for them to take a taxi there, but it would take time including breakfast and buying ten bottles of mineral water for Xia Tuo that needed to be sold.

To avoid traffic jams and other situations on the road, it is a better choice to start early.

"Okay." Xia Tuo replied, and went to the inner room.

Huanyan sits on the sofa and flips through various news on the [An Ning Town] app, and collects as much information as possible, maybe there is something in it that can come in handy.

Even if there is no useful information, she is idle and bored anyway, just pass the time.

In the inner room, Xia Tuo lay on the bed, covered himself with the quilt, and smelled a sweet fragrance.

It smelled very good, the faintly sweet aroma made him feel happy unconsciously.

He sniffed subconsciously, only to realize that it was the smell of Huanyan left on the quilt.

That's right, he used to go to bed first every night, and sleep after smiling. When he went to bed the next day, the smell on the quilt had long since dissipated.

So he didn't care about it before.

It wasn't until this time that he really realized that he and Huanyan had been sharing the same quilt for the past few days.

Although they are not used at the same time, but... it seems... quite intimate.

Xia Tuo reached out and twisted the edge of the quilt, and pulled the quilt to his chin.

The faint sweetness is clearer.

He... likes it very much.

*
Day [-] of the game.

Huanyan and Xia Tuo washed and packed their things on time at seven o'clock, and then went downstairs quickly.

I bought ten bottles of mineral water at a canteen not far from Tongzilou, and each bottle cost one yuan.

It is the most common ordinary mineral water, the price is right, and the taste is not bad.

Huanyan picked up the small box containing ten bottles of mineral water: "It's still a bit heavy, let me take it before arriving at the destination."

Xia Tuo pursed his lips and did not object.

The two of them went to Xiaowang Baozi shop where Xia Tuo helped catch mice before, bought two meat buns, and then took a taxi and went straight to the registration point for the round-the-town running competition.

Fortunately, they got up early and didn't have to worry about the whole process, so the traffic jam didn't start on the road.

It was not yet eight o'clock when they arrived at the registration point.

Huanyan signed up, received a number plate, pinned it to her stomach with a pin, and went to the waiting area with Xia Tuo.

At this time, there were already many people in the waiting area, Xia Tuo said to Huanyan when he saw this, "I'll try to sell a few bottles of water."

As he said that, he took out four bottles of mineral water from the small box and held them in his arms, and asked the nearest person if he needed to buy water.

He is a businessman, so this kind of small scene is nothing to worry about, even if he is rejected, he will not be hit by it.

He asked them one by one very calmly.

Huanyan stood there watching, without interfering.

Soon, a man wearing a number plate and sportswear asked Xia Tuo the price.

"One dollar." Xia Tuo quoted without hesitation.

Anyway, the game mission didn't require him to earn much money by selling mineral water, so he didn't want to make money from it.

The higher the price, the lower the chance of selling, and his purpose is to sell, so selling at the original price is the most appropriate.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one is selling it now, and his asking price is not high, he is the easiest to sell.

When someone tries to snatch the business later, it will not be so easy to sell.

Of course, if that time comes, he will sell it at a lower price based on other people's pricing.

It doesn't matter if you lose money, the point is to be able to sell.

To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the task requirement to "sell", he could just give it away.

However, it is too easy to give away, and it is difficult to ask others to pay for it. The game setting cannot be so easy.

Sure enough, because Xia Tuo's price was the same as outside, the man in the sportswear immediately paid for it.

Probably because of the good start, two runners who were wearing number plates and preparing to participate in the running race around the town soon bought Xia Tuo's mineral water.

Then, two young girls came over and asked Xia Tuo to buy the remaining two bottles of mineral water.

Neither of the two girls was wearing a number plate, so they were obviously not runners in the running competition.

Coupled with the fact that they kept staring at Xia Tuo's face, it was obvious that their purchase of water was secondary, and they mainly wanted to see people.

Xia Tuo knew it well, but didn't say much.

He has never talked much to outsiders, and with that bland expression, it will make people feel very cold.

Normally, even if a girl has a crush on him, she would not dare to approach him casually.

Unfortunately, these two girls are not ordinary girls.

They are NPCs, and they are NPCs with missions.

Xia Tuo didn't think much about it at first, but when he paid the money and delivered the goods, and was about to leave after completing the transaction, he was stopped by these two girls.

Although the two girls looked shy with flushed faces, their movements to stop Xia Tuo were unequivocal.

At that moment, he knew that this should be one of his mission obstacles today.

Otherwise, according to the normal situation, very few young girls would dare to reach out and stop him under his cold expression so ignorantly.

"Handsome guy, you look so good-looking!" One of the girls with neat bangs said to Xia Tuo with a smile, "Can you take a photo with me?"

"Yeah, handsome guy, let's take a photo together!" Another girl with ponytails echoed, "Then leave a contact information and we'll make friends."

"Not interested." Xia Tuo refused very politely.

After finishing speaking, he bypassed the two girls and was about to go back.

"Handsome guy, don't be so indifferent!" Qi Liu Hai jumped up and stopped Xia Tuo's way again, "You see, we are both young and beautiful, and you will be worthy of being friends with you."

Xia Tuo frowned, and there was a trace of impatience on his face.

Before he had time to speak, a clear and clear voice with a smile suddenly came from behind the two girls: "Husband, are you being tripped by something short-sighted?"

Xia Tuo's brows and eyes instantly stretched, and his expression became a little gentle.

Qi Liuhai and Ponytail turned their heads at the same time, and saw smiling faces.

"Husband?" Qi Liuhai questioned, she looked at Huanyan, then turned to Xia Tuo, "Are you married?"

"En." Xia Tuo spit out a word like alms.

"You didn't just find someone to lie to us, did you?" Ponytail still didn't believe it.

"You two don't think I can't hear you, do you?" Huanyan tilted her head, but her face was not angry, but she raised her volume slightly, "It's really interesting, knowing that the other party has a family and a wife, Still entangled with him, disregarding all manners, righteousness and shame."

Such explosive gossip, and the parties involved are all pretty good-looking, which naturally attracted the attention of many people around.

After hearing Huan Yan's words, some people have already started pointing at Qi Liu Hai and the ponytail.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Liuhai suddenly became a little anxious, "We didn't even know he was married just now."

"Then you already know, don't you still stand between me and my husband?" Huanyan raised her eyebrows slightly, "Your intention of trying to break us up couldn't be more obvious."
