Comet Dragon, breaking into the gravity field

"It's just a game, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously..." In order to focus everyone's attention on the game itself, Ritsu Narose hurriedly took out the matching props, intending to get through this incident as soon as possible.

However, what he didn't expect was that this game also had props -

"And the ring?"

[Concentric Ring] - Two players holding this ring can teleport themselves to each other's grid, with a cooldown of five rounds.

"It's too much!"

"But this is clearly the game you prepared, right?"

This pink-haired girl's mind was completely twisted by jealousy. Seeing something that originally belonged to her fall in front of Deng, she, she...

There was nothing she could do.

Falling on the tatami, Chihaya Aine's whole body was filled with "reluctance".

Ignoring the loser who rolled across the room in anger, Nagasaki Suyo began to spin the roulette wheel.

"Blue?"

[I will be rich] - Get 9900 yuan, but is it really that simple?

Seeing the meaningful note on the back of the note and thinking about the blue note that Chihaya Aine got, Nagasaki Suyo had a bad feeling.

Take two days off

I'm going on a long trip today to take a written exam, so I won't have time to write for the next two days.

I'm deeply sorry, so I'm sharing a few of my favorite secret numbers as an apology (are you serious?)

503146

230003

568782

The method used should be self-explanatory, I hope you can use it well.

Anyway, see you the day after tomorrow

55. Wutong Lantern (not)

Shiina Riki never imagined that she would hear the news of Takamatsu Deng's marriage shortly after graduating from high school. Looking at the gold-stamped wedding invitation sent to her home, she hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to go alone.

Arriving at the magnificent hotel, she saw no familiar faces among the countless guests. Her former friends had become busy with their own lives after graduation, and over time, they had lost touch.

Sitting alone in a corner among a table of strangers, with only memories to keep her company, Shiina Riki sat in the corner. She knew both the bride and groom, but at this moment, she didn't dare to approach them.

Looking at the lively atmosphere over there, Shiina Riki suddenly found that the groom seemed to see her and walked towards her with a smile.

Seeing the figure that had appeared in her dream walking towards her, she couldn't help feeling panicked.

But when the groom stood before her, she heard—

"Hurry up and take out the gift money!"

This triggered the subsequent events of "Forever Together", with Ritsu Naruse and Tomo Takamatsu each receiving 3000 yuan in gifts from others. At this point, he suddenly felt that leaving the outcome of the game to fate wasn't a bad thing.

He looked at Shiina Riki happily, but saw that she was still in a daze. Just as he was about to wave his hand to remind her, Naruse Ritsu saw Shiina Riki suddenly come to her senses and stare at him with a resentful look, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Without much talk, after Nagasaki Suyo skipped her turn due to the aftereffects of the special event of windfall, Shiina Riki started spinning the roulette wheel.

She moved the chess piece to the corresponding square and pulled out a slip of paper: "Red card?"

Looking around, she seemed to be the first person to draw this color card. Although Shiina Riki had never read the rule book, she was sure there was something fishy about the color of the paper.

[Duel Ceremony]: Select a player to engage in a duel of strength or will; the winner of the duel can ask the loser to pay 8000 yuan, and the loser will also retreat 8 squares.

"Isn't this 'Great Adventure'?" After finishing reading, Shiina Riki looked up at Chihaya Aine, "Is this game Monopoly?"

"Yes, yes..."

"But this is clearly a game like 'Truth or Dare', right?"

"Y-really?"

Seeing the pink-haired girl trying to play dumb, Shiina Riki didn't bother to argue with her anymore. She looked back at the note and asked, "'A duel of strength or will', what does that mean?"

"Let me see..." Picking up the rule book, Chihaya Aine flipped through it quickly, "It seems there are specially made cards."

Soon, a pile of crimson "power cards" were placed on the floor by her.

Picking a card at random, Shiina Riki looked at the "German Back Throw" on it and fell into confusion; drawing another card, what appeared in her eyes was the "Triangle Hold", a common technique in MMA (mixed martial arts).

——We are playing the games that students should play, right?

Facing Shiina Tatsuki's questioning gaze, Chihaya Aine could only take out the "Will Card" again.

[Immersively listen to the sound of a coin scraping against a blackboard for one minute]

She raised her head, and before she could speak, Chihaya Aine, knowing that Shiina Ritsuki's anger was about to reach its peak, immediately found an excuse for her, and persuaded her to smoke again with the reason that "I didn't bring headphones."

He had completely given up hope, but when he saw the text on the card he pulled out, Shiina Riki couldn't believe that the content and style of the card could have changed so much.

"'When two people stare at each other, the one who looks away first loses'... is that that simple?"

Although I don't understand what this has to do with the "duel of wills", it's always better to take it easy.

Turning the roulette wheel, Shiina Riki, feeling relaxed, only realized the evil nature of this "duel" when he saw the pointer pointing to 1.

"Come on, look at me!" While posing as if "you are the challenger", Ritsu Narose turned his head to look at the black-haired beauty next to him.

He sighed, put his expression in order, and looked at Naruse Ritsu in the same open manner.

After staring at each other for less than thirty seconds, Naruse Ritsu suddenly asked, "How long do we have to stare at each other?"

"It's not over until one party looks away." Without being distracted by Naruse Ritsu's chat flow tactics, Shiina Riki replied indifferently.

The two people who were looking at each other didn't know that after they fell into silence, the room also became quiet.

Looking around, he saw that everyone was staring at the two men's battle at the foot of the mountain, so Kaname simply rested his head on Naruse Ritsu's thigh and took a nap on the floor.

After being attacked, Mingse Ritsu's face changed slightly, but his eyes did not change drastically. He was still looking at the girl in front of him who was no more than half a meter away from him with his bright eyes.

The scene was at a stalemate for a while.

This was the only time they had looked into each other's eyes like this before, Shiina Riki thought.

Looking into those blue eyes, she found herself feeling calmer than she had expected—just like standing on the shore of a lake, looking at her reflection on the surface.

At this extremely rare moment, Shiina Riki finally realized why he had been unhappy with Naruse Ritsu before.

It was undeniable that she had become dependent on Ritsu Naruse, and this dependence had made her weak. Weak, she would take it for granted that she could share many things with him, but when he did something that didn't suit her, she would subconsciously feel dissatisfied and want to kick his calf with the tip of her shoe.

"I say, how long are you two going to stare at each other..." Sitting opposite, Chihaya Aine felt that the eyes of the two people were like tangled silk threads.

"Yeah, if you don't end it, the game will stay here." Contrary to her usual behavior, Nagasaki Motoyo actually supported Chihaya Aine.

Although guarding against pink-haired people is the main task, we cannot neglect one thing while focusing on the other.

However, the two people who were fighting fiercely were still insisting, and even took the initiative to suggest that they continue playing the game and not come to mediate.

Seeing the two of them above being so serious, Chihaya Aine actually wondered if she was worrying too much.

After spinning the roulette wheel and completing her unremarkable turn, the pink-haired girl, who had completed her studies abroad, finally ended her forced isolation. However, she happily returned to the Far Eastern island nation with 9900 yuan, intending to realize her ambitions. Shortly after her return, she heard news that made her question her life.

"The newlyweds are living happily together, and the couple is loving each other..." Takamatsu Deng stuttered as he read out the words, his voice trembling a little, "The birth of a son...successfully..."

Holding the green card, Gao Songdeng read to the end. The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. But even so, everyone present could hear what she said clearly.

"Child, child?"

The pink-haired girl, who had turned into a pale statue, suddenly had several cracks on her body, and the player next to her who was afflicted by the curse of mediocrity was also still in shock.

It wasn't just the two of them. The situation on the other side, which had been relatively balanced, changed instantly.

"Becoming a mother at this age?"

Seeing Shiina Riki's sudden surge of momentum, Naruse Ritsu, feeling inexplicably guilty, had to look away and admit defeat.

5. I am a widower and I can't sleep.

At 8:30 in the evening, the head of the ANON TOKYO Group, a foreign student from Da Ying, dominated the Tokyo circle, connecting with Nagasaki in the west and Shiina in the east, forming a powerful momentum, ready to swallow up the world.

At nine o'clock, the landless wanderer [Wild Cat] voluntarily quits the game, spends all his wealth before getting into bed, and lets the cats go back to the market, adding the debuff [Too Many Stray Cats], which increases expenses, to all players.

At 9:10, Nagasaki Suyo, who controlled many wonders, launched a bold attack. She flipped open a red command card and targeted Naruse Ritsu, forcing him to transform into the Lord of the Rings and use the transfer magic of "Eternal Bond" to forcibly avoid paying the triple toll.

However, what Ritsu Narose did not expect was that after he narrowly avoided this fatal move, Takamatsu Deng, who had joined forces with Zhubi, suddenly encountered an accident and stepped on the green event grid for the second time.

Green - symbolizes family, happiness, love and life, but can also represent stagnation, decay and disease.

Seeing the words written on the card, Gao Songdeng tilted his head in confusion...

……

I greeted her, but she said nothing and just lay quietly on the bed.

Her once pretty face had become haggard due to the ravages of illness. I wanted to hold her hand, but she pulled it back, as if she was afraid of infecting me with the disease.

Even if he is wealthy and has access to numerous valuable resources, what good does it do? He can only watch his beloved wife suffer from illness.

"It will be fine." I reached out and chased after him, holding the cold and trembling hand tightly.

She seemed ashamed of being a burden and closed her eyes to avoid my sight.

Patients always feel helpless and afraid that they will become a burden and continue to consume their family's patience, so that a rift will arise between them and even turn them into enemies.

Recalling their first meeting, it was a sunny day. He was wandering the streets with nothing to do, following a white cat with golden and blue eyes, and that's when he met his wife.

Maybe it was just love at first sight at first, but as countless days and nights passed, I was sure that I loved her deeply.

Then, will my love for her gradually disappear under the entanglement of illness and time?

I looked down at her, our eyes never met, like a composite photo.

……

"I say, is it necessary for you to write in such detail?" Seeing Naruse Ritsu read out the words he wrote while thinking with emotion, Shiina Ritsuki felt a chill.

She rubbed her arms exposed to the air and seemed to have goose bumps.

"Hmph! I thought you were Deng's best friend, but I didn't expect you to not even visit her once when she was in trouble."

"Huh? I—"

Faced with such heart-wrenching words, Shiina Riki first looked at the chess piece positions of himself and Takamatsu Deng, which were on the diagonal line. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute angrily, he saw Takamatsu Deng with a lonely expression.

"I didn't say I wouldn't go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shiina Riki heard a stifled laugh coming from Chihaya Aine. Looking over with a dark face, she could only see the back of the pink-haired girl's head, which she had deliberately left open to her.

True to his word, in order to fulfill his promise, Shiina Riki had to spend a huge amount of money to take the Nagasaki Group's Boeing 824 aircraft, and finally arrived at the grid near Takamatsu Tomori and Naruse Ritsu after three rounds...

……

"Do you remember Shiina? She came to see you."

Hearing the voices coming from the front, the smartly dressed Shiina Riki curled his lips.

Ever since she heard that Gao Songdeng married this man, she has always been prejudiced against him.

As far as she knew, before and after the marriage contract with Deng, this man had been having an affair with the head of the Nagasaki family, who controlled a number of private transportation facilities and financial industries, and the woman who was a fashion designer with poor aesthetic taste and was the CEO of ANON TOKYO Group.

But when she saw the happiness in her friend's eyes, she secretly swallowed her doubts about her vision and only wished her a happy future.

When they came to their senses, they were the only two people in the ward.

The smell of disinfectant quietly entered her nose, causing her, who had always been strong, to lament the unfair fate her friend faced.

She once had happiness, but happiness was like fallen leaves on the treetops in late autumn, which would fall to the ground with a slight breeze.

While her mind was wandering, she suddenly saw Gao Songdeng open his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something to her.

Leaning down hastily, Shiina Riki was able to hear those weak words clearly...

……

Sitting quietly by the side, Naruse Ritsu didn't deliberately add drama to Shiina Riki's turn. He stood up to serve everyone more tea and tucked in the cat that was sleeping without a blanket before slowly returning to the battle.

However, when he sat down, he found that Shiina Riki was sweating profusely, at a loss, and looked like he had overturned a car.
