Chapter 120 Xie Jiayi's Guidance (Instance): Midnight Convenience Store
"I have conditions regarding dating."

Ji Yi nodded silently:

"You said."

"When you're interacting with a girl, don't always have inappropriate thoughts. Even if you do, don't let her know, or you'll lose her favor."

Is this considered a hands-on tutorial?
"Okay, I remember."

"By the way, it's best not to let me know either, I don't like it either."

".oh."

"There's nothing else to worry about. Just be a gentleman. Whether you're compatible or not depends on how much time you spend together. You can't rush it. Otherwise, if Mr. Kiba is just showing off his repression, then don't try to ruin her with the idea of ​​dating. There are many ways to satisfy your needs. Even if you go and ask her out, I would never come to your door with a watermelon knife and kill you."

"."

Finally, isn't this a threat? Isn't this actually a threat?

"What good would it do Miss Cat if I did this? I was the one who did something not very good."

"You'll let me go once you shift your attention to another woman. Besides, you're thinking about Miss Xie while you're defiling me. Doesn't Mr. Jiba have any basic morals? Well, after all, Mr. Jiba can come up with the idea of ​​saving himself by defiling a woman's chastity, so he certainly doesn't have any bottom line."

"."

Miss Cat still seems to be full of resentment.

"Enough said. You've been gone for so many days, Miss Xie must be worried. Go find her."

"Also, you've been out of touch for too long and have fallen behind many people. There are already more than ten people who have changed jobs. Remember to catch up as soon as possible."

Ji Yi did not hide the importance of improving strength from Miss Cat and Tang Hulu.

Therefore, even while they were trapped in the instance, they were still working hard. Over the course of forty days, they averaged out at least a dozen instances.

In comparison, I am truly lazy.

Let's get back to reality first.

return.

The room was slightly dusty, and the cell phone had long since turned off automatically.

I plugged in the charger and tidied up the room.

Then I opened my phone and saw many unread messages.

Open the chat history of 【蟹蟹泥】 and scroll up.

"So she invited me to the fireworks display."

Ms. Xie contacted him a few more times afterward, but because he didn't reply, she stopped sending messages soon after. The last time she contacted him was seven days ago.

I quickly wrote a short reply.

The gist is that he was kidnapped and imprisoned, but managed to escape by traversing mountains and rivers. The first thing he did upon returning was to meet Xie Jiayi.

【Crab Paste】: "???"

But the other party didn't seem to care much: "The fireworks display is over."

Ji Yi: "It's okay, I'm going out for a walk today. Are you free?"

"Ah."

I tidied myself up a bit.

I paid the rent and utilities on my phone, and also paid off part of the debt I owed this month.

"We're running low on money; we need to sell some more equipment."

The burdens of life eventually fell upon him again, after all, he had been enjoying a comfortable month and a half in Yangyang.

evening.

Ji Yi and Xie Jiayi walked together on the food street of the night market.

It seems that he got used to normal contact with women through Yangyang, so much so that the "old virgin" vibe he had was much less pronounced.

You know, in the past, the uglier a woman was, the more comfortable he would feel when he was around her.

On the snack street.

To outsiders, he and Xie Jiayi, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, seemed like a perfectly matched couple.

"Mr. Ji, it feels like you've changed a lot since we last met."

Hsieh Chia-yi is dignified and gentle, and her tone always carries a sense of composure.

"However, such maturity seems to come at a price. Your brow is furrowed with worry."

Ji Yi was taken aback. Had they seen through her?
Hsieh Chia-yi is very observant and considerate, and she's also beautiful.

“Miss Xie, I do have something on my mind. I have hurt others, and more than one, but it was out of necessity. No one is without selfishness, and I am not a saint after all.”

"If the price of my life and freedom is leaving wounds on others, then if the same thing happens to me again, my choice will still not change."

Hsieh Chia-yi seemed to understand: "You'll feel guilty, right?"

Ji Yi nodded: "Yes. Perhaps Miss Xie thinks this is a bit pretentious. But I just can't take these things for granted."

"This shows that Mr. Ji is a gentle man. In Japanese, this is called 'kindness.' Mr. Ji is a male protagonist in Japanese manga."

Ji Yi gave an awkward smile: "Miss Xie, please don't make fun of me. I've really been emotionally hurt these past few days."

Xie Jiayi simply said:

"Mr. Ji feels guilty, which shows that he has a conscience. You can admit to being selfish, which is more upright than hypocrites. Doesn't that show that Mr. Ji is a good person? The important thing is that you are willing to face it. If guilt stops at regret, you will fall into the quagmire of self-pity. Take action. If you feel bad, then try to make amends. Mr. Ji, you need to muster your courage and determination."

Courage and boldness, huh?

As for Miss Cat, Ji Yi is always willing to help her and live and die with her.

It seems there is still a chance for Yangyang to turn things around.

He was quite certain that he didn't love the poor girl.

But he still has a chance to save her.

【Name: Dimensional Coordinate Analyzer】

[Note: Currently included are the world codes "Strange Tales", "Apocalypse", "Contamination", "Strange Beasts", and "Rippling"]

Before leaving, Ji Yi recorded the world coordinates of that room.

One day, he will definitely repay this debt that cannot be measured in money, but not as a lover.

"Thank you for your advice, Ms. Xie. I know what to do now."

It was getting late.

"It's getting late, shall we head back soon?"

"it is good."

The two hailed a taxi and returned to their apartment.

Each person took out their key in front of the door.

"Mr. Ji."

Before entering, Xie Jiayi called out to him.

"Hmm?" Ji Yi turned around.

"Mr. Ji looks very handsome today."

Ji Yi was immediately at a loss: "Ah, Miss Xie, you look beautiful today, no, you always do."

Xie Jiayi smiled slightly, didn't respond, went into the room, and closed the door.

Seeing this, Ji Yi regretfully slammed his fist on his head:
"Damn, I must have looked really silly to her just now!"

However, after getting to know her better today, I've discovered that she's a really nice person.

Enter the room and tidy up a bit.

"Linked games".

Upon arriving at the game space, I happened to see Miss Cat online:

"Are you free? Let's run a dungeon together."

Miss Cat quickly replied, "Back from your date? Why didn't you spend more time with her?"

"Rather than chasing girls, I'd rather play games with you right now. Women will only get in the way of our brotherhood."

"."

"what happened?"

"It's okay, pull me up."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: Mr. Giba, please don't lay a hand on me. Even though I've already been defiled by Mr. Giba, I haven't given up on myself or fallen into depravity."

"What do you take me for? I certainly wouldn't offend Miss Cat."

"Here, take this."

Miss Cat sent me a [Logout Button] and a [Cure-All].

"I originally saved up money to buy two logout buttons so that I could save you immediately if I was drafted. I had them in my hands, and then Mr. Giba defiled them."

Ji Yi: "."

'You stupid data analysis tool, why didn't you warn me?!'

[I thought you were just trying to take advantage of her. Weren't you kissing her quite passionately? You even made a cheesy kiss, it was so embarrassing.]

"."

"In short, learn from this experience and be prepared. This is a loan to Mr. Giba. As for the panacea, you were the one who received it in the first place. Keep it to save your life; you don't need to return it."

Two logout buttons equal 100,000 game coins.

Even when playing Nightmare difficulty dungeons, it takes ten runs to accumulate enough points. Everyone knows what she sacrificed during that time.

"Thank you, Miss Cat. I will repay your kindness in my next life, even if I have to be your slave."

"I know, the beautiful ones will offer themselves to me, and the ugly ones will be my slaves in the next life."

"."

Ji Yi didn't know how to respond, so she directly initiated a team formation and started the game.

[Entering the instance]

[Instance Name: Midnight Convenience Store]

[Dungeon Size: 2-player raid]

[Mission Objective: Survive for 7 nights]

[Limited Time: None]

[Difficulty: Nightmare]

Darkness enveloped everything.

The body was unable to move, and the viewpoint was fixed in place.

This time, the dungeon's opening sequence was unprecedented, featuring a story overview and a CG cutscene.

The scene before me resembled a low-budget film, depicting a dark and messy bedroom.

Immediately afterwards, a narration began:

You are burdened with debt.

No, does it have to be this immersive right from the start?
[You were forced to take the night shift at a convenience store because they offered you a price you couldn't refuse.]

The scene shows a convenience store standing beside a desolate highway.

There are many strange rules here.

You gradually realize that the people shopping at the convenience store are acting strangely. If you can even call them people.

As the 29th employee hired this month, I hope you can hold on for a while.

【Good luck.】

The images and sounds disappeared, but the body could move again.

Ji Yi opened her eyes in the messy bedroom, which appeared to be an employee lounge.

Open this door, and you'll find the convenience store where you go to work.

Data Eye quickly provided the information.

[There's a shift schedule posted on the door. You and Miss Cat are each on the night shift. It's 1:55 AM now, and it's almost your turn.]

The data analysis tool quickly summarized the information.

I checked the panel, and sure enough, it was another dungeon with limited abilities.

Even the [Ultimate Vision] ability was banned, and Ji Yi lost the ability to see in the dark.

But that's a minor issue.

The data eye can effectively provide him with the information he needs, and the ultimate vision itself is just icing on the cake.

"The skills banned in each Nightmare dungeon are different."

Muttering to himself, Ji Yi decided to use these five minutes to observe whether there was any noteworthy information.

Countless people have slept in this bed, but now only you and Miss Cat will use it.

That's strange. If it's a two-person shift, does the other person really only need to sleep?

So what kind of team scenario is this? How should we collaborate?

I read the schedule again more carefully.

Miss Cat is in charge of the time slot from 8 pm to 2 am.

Ji Yi's shift is from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m.

Each person works 6 hours a day, with staggered shifts, making communication impossible, which is fatal for teamwork.

Whether the "rest time" is actually for rest or something else is going to happen is unclear.

Soon, just one minute before 2 a.m.

Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.

[Outside the door is Miss Cat, on her day off.]

open the door.

The cat in front of me was wearing a convenience store apron, had a rather strange expression, and made a shushing gesture.

This means that one cannot speak.

The opening CG mentions many rules, and this is probably one of them.

That wasn't some useless information. If Ji Yi hadn't taken it to heart and had asked, "What's wrong?", it might have triggered an instant death.

Miss Cat is wearing black today, still in a very stylish outfit. Is she testing you, or is she enjoying it?

"Get lost, and stop speculating about my father."

【.】

Without X-ray vision, Ji Yi could only obtain written accounts.

It's more satisfying to see it in person.

They nodded to each other.

Ji Yi took out the apron hanging on the shelf next to the door, tied it, and walked towards the convenience store.

Miss Cat brushed past him, silently entered the room, and closed the door.

Step into this not-too-big convenience store.

The left side is the refrigerated section against the wall, while the right side contains regular goods such as bento boxes and drinks.

Walk through the corridor, turn right at the end, and continue until you reach the cashier.

From this vantage point, you can see the general layout of the convenience store. Even if there are blind spots, there is a surveillance monitor next to the cash register.

There are a total of six scenes, four of which show the interior of the convenience store, one shows the staff break room, and one shows the back door of the convenience store, which appears to be where the trash is disposed of.

"It seems like there are quite a few things to pay attention to."

The surveillance footage shows Ms. Cat taking off her apron and lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

"Is it really just about sleeping?"

It's probably not that simple.

Look at the "Employee Handbook" on the wall.

Sure enough, the wall was covered with more than twenty items.

"Is this some kind of memory test?"

It's amazing that Miss Cat was able to remember all of this in such a short time.

12. Employees are not allowed to talk to each other and must not be in the convenience store at the same time (excluding the employee break room).

Ji Yi was unaware of what would happen if she broke the rules, as it was not stated above.

But following the rules is never wrong.

Taking advantage of the absence of customers, Ji Yi spent some time memorizing these rules.

It seems to be to verify the results.

Soon, the first customer appeared in the store.

It was a man wearing a mask, a smooth oval shape without any patterns, and the color was almost the same as his skin, so much so that he looked a lot like the urban legend "No-Face".

But judging from the white rope behind the mask, he was indeed simply wearing a mask.

The masked man did not purchase any items.

Instead, they went straight to Ji Yi.

Are there any new employees today?

This is a rather strange question.

[19. A masked customer may ask, "Are there any new employees today?" Answer, "I'm the only one on duty," and then bend down to tidy the shelves until the customer leaves.]

"I'm the only one on duty."

After Ji Yi finished speaking, she followed the instructions and began tidying up the items on the shelf.

'Hmm, this is Okamoto 001. Don't you have the larger sizes in the small shops? What a pity, my brother Yun Chang can't even find a suit of armor that fits him.'

He kept thinking to himself while his hands kept moving.

I'm very busy, but I don't know what I'm busy with.

But the shadow that blocked the light above never left, and Ji Yi saw a hand reach into the counter and pick up something.

That was a hair.

A woman, with long hair.

"I'll ask you one more time, are there no new employees today?"

　Today's update is a normal 8,000 words; the second update will be posted before midnight.
