I don't want to fall in love, I just want to get rewards

Chapter 175 A Busy Day

Xiao Yang rubbed his sleepy eyes, turned over and picked up his cell phone.

When Xiao Yang saw the caller ID, his drunkenness instantly dissipated a little. As soon as the call was connected, he cursed: "Liu Jie, you still have the nerve to call me?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Yang, I'm sorry, things are not what you imagined..." Liu Jie cried, "It's all, it's all Jiang Ye..."

……

After turning the last page, Chen Che let out a long breath and then slowly closed the book.

Purely English books are still quite difficult to read. Although Su Zhiyu made a lot of annotations on the book, there are still some words that are unfamiliar to Chen Che.

Sometimes the appearance of an unfamiliar word can easily make the entire sentence difficult to understand...

In order to understand this book, Chen Che searched for words on the Internet a lot during this period, and his vocabulary increased a lot.

Lying on the bed, thinking about the plot of the book and the murderer's modus operandi, just as he was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, his cell phone lit up.

I took the phone and saw that it was a message from Shen Dai.

[Shen Dai: Are you free tomorrow? ]

[Shen Dai: (Kitten blinks, jpg)]

【Chen Che: I’m free in the morning, but I have something to do in the evening. 】

[Shen Dai: Let’s go to the movies together this morning.]

【Chen Che: OK OK, what are you looking at? 】

[Shen Dai: How about this one? I think it’s pretty good after watching the trailer.]

[Shen Dai: (screenshot)]

Chen Che clicked on the screenshot and found that it was a movie ticket for Bureau 749...

In the past few days, he has also seen a lot of promotional information about this movie on the Internet. There are some stupid comments under each promotional video, including but not limited to.

[If this thing can be released, is the spiritual energy really going to revive? ]

[This, this isn't a vaccination for us. ]

[They say that we can’t practice cultivation. When the time comes, I won’t be running on the ground while you all fly in the sky.]

[The director really worked in the 749th Bureau before, so the things in the movie couldn’t have really happened.]

……

The publicity is overwhelming, but in reality...

Tomorrow is the first day of the movie's release, and we'll know whether it's a mule or a horse tomorrow.

Originally, Chen Che had not planned to go and watch it tomorrow. After all, if he acted decisively at this time, he might become the first person to eat crabs, but he would also have a high probability of becoming a shit-eating expert...

But since Shen Dai has even bought the movie tickets, it wouldn't hurt to go and see it. What if it's really good?

The two chatted for about twenty minutes, said good night to each other, and then went offline to sleep.

……

The next day.

"I'm so stupid, really... I should have waited for the first group of people who watched the movie to give their opinions before deciding whether to come and watch it."

Outside the theater, a girl with a high ponytail was rubbing her cheeks, her tone full of complaints and regrets about being deceived.

The girl has a pure face, beautiful features, and a fair and tender face, giving people the feeling that water can be squeezed out of her if you pinch her hard.

The corners of her eyes are slightly upturned, making her innocent face even more charming.

A white top, a black JK skirt, white stockings wrapped around a pair of slender and straight calves, and a pair of black leather shoes on the feet.

This kind of dress makes Shen Dai's lively girlish feeling fully reflected, just like a deer running happily in the woods, suddenly stops in front of you, and then looks at you with its watery eyes.

And this "little deer" was now looking at the boy beside him with helplessness and regret on his face.

The boy's looks were equally outstanding, even making the girl's looks look a little dull.

The fine hair slightly covers the eyebrows, the nose is straight, the eyes are gentle, and the skin is fair without a single pimple.

Even if he is just standing casually, he gives people the feeling of a top model because of his handsome face and upright posture.

Listening to Shen Dai's quiet complaints, Chen Che couldn't help laughing while comforting her.

I have to say that this movie is really bad and can be compared with the previous top domestic science fiction work - "Shanghai Fortress".

There were certain details in the movie that Chen Che just couldn't understand no matter how hard he tried.

For example, when the monsters launched an attack at the end, the director of the 749th Bureau ordered the army to retreat, and then took a group of child soldiers to fight these monsters with cold weapons...

A monster that can be dealt with by cold weapons, can't we just suppress it with firepower...

Half of the people in the theater had already left before the movie was even halfway through; most of the remaining people started playing with their phones. Those who were able to watch the entire movie were basically Wang Junkai's true fans.

After laughing enough, Chen Che patted Shen Dai's back gently and said in a gentle voice:

"In fact, if you think about it from another perspective, this movie does a good job of reflecting the atmosphere of despair."

"Huh?" Shen Dai looked at Chen Che in confusion.

"If the end of the world really happens one day, and I have to rely on Wang Junkai with a pair of chicken wings to save me, then I will be really desperate."

"Pfft." Shen Dai couldn't help but laugh.

Originally, she was really depressed and regretful. After all, she finally got the chance to go out with the boy she liked, but he ended up choosing such a bad movie. It made her feel heartbroken just thinking about it.

But after confirming that Chen Che did not have any negative emotions, Shen Dai's depression was relieved a lot, and she started to joke with him.

"Where do we go next?"

"Let's go to the 6th floor. I heard there's an escape room there. The reviews online are pretty good. Let's go and try it out. After that, we can go to the 6th floor for lunch."

Next, the two of them walked towards the escape room.

After some selection, the two finally chose a secret room called "Underground Clinic".

This secret room can be played by two people at the same time. Chen Che and Shen Dai had no plans to solve the puzzle with others, so after buying the tickets, they waited for the previous group of people to leave and then walked into the secret room together.

……

There are four places in the entire secret room that need to be decrypted, namely the research room, operating room, dissection room and morgue.

The overall atmosphere of the escape room was quite scary, but Chen Che didn't think it was a big deal. He had been brave since he was a child. In addition, Chen Zhengyang often dragged him to watch horror movies, which made Chen Che braver than most people. At least this kind of escape room didn't scare him. Because it was his first time to play an escape room, Chen Che originally wanted to see how difficult it was to solve, but he was soon disappointed...

The difficulty of the secret room is not really high. If you are a little careful, you can find the elements to decrypt the code. The difficulty of decrypting the code is not even as great as the horror in the secret room.

In this way, he took Shen Dai and easily unlocked the research laboratory, operating room, and dissection room.

However, as soon as they walked out of the autopsy room, a group of NPCs wearing hospital gowns with red paint on their faces and clothes rushed towards them with bared fangs and claws.

The only direction without NPCs is the one leading to the "morgue".

Chen Che pulled Shen Dai and ran towards the last room. With the eerie background music and the wailing of NPCs, the two soon arrived at the morgue.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw five big words written on the wall in bright red paint: "Are you hiding?"

"Should they ask us to hide first?" Chen Che said casually, looking around the room, then strode to the bed closest to them and pulled open the bed curtain.

The NPC in hospital gown showed his white teeth and blinked at them.

"what!"

Frightened, Shen Dai subconsciously hugged Chen Che's arm, almost leaning against him.

The soft touch on his arms and shoulders made Chen Che a little distracted, but he did not show anything. Instead, he took Shen Dai's hand and walked to another bed, pulling open the bed curtain again.

This time it's not a real person, but a plastic doll.

At the same time, the footsteps outside the door became clearer and heavier, and the "bang bang bang" knocks on the door became more frequent. According to the plot, it is estimated that in another ten seconds or so, the door will be broken open.

Without hesitation, Chen Che threw the plastic doll inside, let Shen Dai get on the bed first, then he lay on the bed himself, and then pulled the bed curtains.

Almost in the next second, the door was smashed open and heavy footsteps were heard in the house.

……

Because they knew it was a routine, Chen Che and Shen Dai were not panicking at the moment, but...

The specifications of this hospital bed are those of a single bed. It is spacious enough for one person, but it would be a bit crowded for two people, as their bodies would inevitably be pressed together.

A small space and handsome men and beautiful women, these two elements combined can easily create an ambiguous and charming atmosphere.

Through their arms pressed together, Shen Dai could feel the warmth emanating from Chen Che's body. She swallowed, then changed her position, lying on her side and looking at Chen Che.

Seeing this, Chen Che also turned sideways and looked at Shen Dai with raised eyebrows.

Shen Dai opened and closed her lips, and said silently: "It's okay, I'll change to a more comfortable position."

Then, the two looked at each other.

For some reason, looking at that handsome and flawless face, Shen Dai had an inexplicable thought in her heart. As if possessed by a ghost, she slowly stretched out her hand and gently pinched Chen Che's face.

The next second, she pulled her hand back with a "whoosh" as if she had been electrocuted.

"Shen Dai, what are you doing! Why did you just reach out your hand and pinch it!"

Shen Dai roared "Ahhh" in her heart. Although she could still hold on on the surface, she subconsciously turned her head away, and her earlobes turned a little red.

Her current appearance inexplicably reminded Chen Che of ostriches when they encounter danger. They bury their heads in the sand and deceive themselves to avoid danger.

Chen Che really wanted to tease Shen Dai, but he knew that Shen Dai was no different from a teapot that was about to boil. If he teased her again, she might explode.

"boom!"

The door was shut again. Chen Che quietly opened the bed curtain and after confirming that no one was there, he got up from the bed.

He originally wondered if there was an NPC pretending to go out, but actually standing outside the bed curtain, ready to "kill" him as soon as the curtain was opened.

"Sister Dai, there's no one here. You can come down and decrypt it now." Chen Che turned around and said to Shen Dai who was still lying on the bed.

Shen Dai was still a little dazed at the moment. She only reacted when Chen Che called her. She said "hmm" softly, got out of bed and started looking for clues with Chen Che.

This level was also not difficult. After spending about ten minutes, Chen Che successfully gathered all the clues, finally opened the safe, and took out the key to the last door.

"Click."

After opening that door, the entire secret room was completely cleared.

The overall environment of the secret room was extremely dim, and now there was a sudden light, which made Chen Che subconsciously cover his eyes.

Shen Dai was no exception. She glanced at the secret room behind her and suddenly felt that this secret room seemed a little too "relaxed".

I have to say, the experience of playing the escape room with Chen Che was quite good.

On the one hand, Chen Che's reaction speed, observation ability and other qualities are excellent, and there is basically no problem of getting stuck when you are with him.

On the other hand, Chen Che did not go all out, so the situation did not occur where the password was cracked before Shen Dai could react, and she ended up walking through the entire secret room in a daze.

After I got my things and left the store, it was almost 11 o'clock.

"Sister Dai, do you have any dietary restrictions?" Chen Che looked at Shen Dai and said, "I'll treat you to lunch today."

After all, the money for the movie tickets and the escape room was paid by Shen Dai, and we can't let her pay for lunch again.

"No, I can eat anything. You choose."

"Then let's go to this pickled fish restaurant. I ate here last time and it tasted pretty good." Chen Che did not have a problem with making choices and quickly chose a restaurant.

As they were taking the elevator down, Shen Dai suddenly asked casually:

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that we ran into your ex-girlfriend the last time we went out." Shen Dai stopped talking here, then blinked and looked at Chen Che.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Chen Che nodded, already knowing what Shen Dai was going to say next.

"I came back from abroad just for you. Don't tell me that I haven't had any contact with you during this period. How have you been these days..."

Shen Dai originally wanted to ask Chen Che from the perspective of "gossip friends", but as she was talking, she couldn't hold on any longer. At the end, not only did her voice become lower, but she even sounded incoherent.

"We met once at a class reunion, and we basically had no contact after that."

"It can't be true. He rushed back to China specially, and ended up meeting him only once at a class reunion?" Shen Dai looked into Chen Che's eyes, trying to find something wrong.

However, Chen Che's eyes were quite honest, so honest that it seemed as if everything came from his heart.

"That was just one time. How could we have any contact later?" Chen Che paused and continued, "Also, Sister Dai, you're exaggerating. Her family's business happened to be developing in China, so she came back with them. What's the point of coming back just for me?"

"Really?" Shen Dai gently grabbed her ponytail, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't tell what.
