Curse Love Game

Curse Love Game

Author: Hibernation for a Hundred Years

Summary:

"Do you know what the cruelest thing is for a 2D otaku?"

"It's not about forcing him to go on a blind date with a bunch of self-important three-dimensional women who want to hit you with 'high fixed damage', nor is it about working 996 for a few months at the workstation only to be told that your name is likely still on the optimization list.

For the former, you can make up your mind and tell your parents that you will never get married and have children in this life. The worst that can happen is that you will be kicked out of your "loving family".

The latter doesn’t matter. After all these years of working as a slave, I have accumulated some money. I can find a small place to lie down and heal my inner trauma by playing the beautiful girl love game every day.”

"What's the cruelest thing?"

"You died suddenly while working overtime one day. After finally winning the resurrection match, you came to the dream love game world, but you were told -

This world is filled with three-dimensional rules. There is no romance or fantasy, only a chilling reality.

And - your own system is cursed."

Chapter 1 What happened to our D otaku brother?

[System prompt: You only have 4 hours left in the game. Please actively obtain game progress and extend the game time, otherwise the game will be completely closed after the countdown ends.]

Looking at the system prompt that popped up in front of him, Xu Qiubai once again put on the mask of pain and despair.

Actively acquire, how the hell do you want me to actively acquire!!

Xu Qiubai punched his thigh, but he didn't attract anyone's attention as he was in the corner of the classroom.

……

A month and a half ago, Xu Qiubai participated in several blind dates under the coercion of his parents. The women asked for a car and a house in full plus a 38.8 yuan gift, which made Xu Qiubai feel endlessly confused. After returning home, he couldn't bear the discomfort in his heart and chose to post a sentimental post on the NGA forum:

"Gentlemen, men don't have to get married and have children. It's also good to find a place to lie down and spend the rest of your life with your 2D wife..."

This heartfelt post spoke out the thoughts of many otakus and was copied to various major platforms and became a hit across the internet.

But at the same time, Xu Qiubai's private messages were also detonated by a group of unknown people.

A series of insults such as "low-headed man", "stingy man", and "hysterical man" were pinned on Xu Qiubai.

What's worse, not only did they curse Xu Qiubai that he would never get what he wanted in his next life, they also cursed Xu Qiubai's life and health.

But the problem is that there was no radical statement in Xu Qiubai's post. The blind date process was briefly mentioned, and no asset figures were mentioned.

So what did our 2D otaku do to you? !

How big a grudge?!

What’s even more difficult to accept is that the curse actually worked.

A month ago, Xu Qiubai died suddenly while working overtime. When his soul ascended, a dialog box popped up in front of him:

[Will you reincarnate into the world of love games? ]

When faced with this kind of option, hesitating for even 0.01 second longer would be disrespectful to yourself.

Good news: I was reincarnated into a love game world, and it also came with its own system.

Bad news: This love game world has no two-dimensional flavor at all, and the system also brings the curse from the previous life.

[System name: Confession time]

[System Description: The system will automatically select the target for you to capture. Please boldly increase your favorability to obtain system rewards! ]

[Tip: Confession is the fastest way to improve favorability! After a successful confession, you will receive generous extra rewards! ]

[Additional Curse 1: Limited-time game mode, the initial game time is one month, which can be gradually increased as the favorability increases. ]

[Additional Curse 2: All the player's confession words will be automatically replaced, please click to view details. ]

To be honest, Xu Qiubai felt okay before he clicked on the details of Curse 2.

After all, he has experience in hundreds of dating games, so even with the countdown mode + alternative confession, he feels that he is fully capable of "roaming the world" in the game.

But when he clicked on the details of Curse 2, all his self-satisfaction disappeared at this moment.

Curse details: All words expressing appreciation and love such as "I like you", "I love you", "I want to date you", etc. will automatically be transformed into——

"I am your father."

"I want to be your dad."

"Can you please let me be your father?"

Xu Qiubai was directly controlled for three minutes.

During the overload, Xu Qiubai's battle-hardened experience in love games stood out.

Try another language!

Xu Qiubai typed "I love you" on his mobile phone, and the moment the words were formed, they were replaced with "I am your father".

Xu Qiubai was silent.

Xu Qiubai was reminded of the artistic expression and symbolic techniques in the field of literature.

He tremblingly typed "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight" on his phone and then stared at the screen.

One second passed, two seconds passed, and the font did not change.

Just when Xu Qiubai was excited and thought he had found the trick, he found that there seemed to be something extra in the next line of this sentence, and he moved his finger upwards:

"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, can I be your father?"

Xu Qiubai's heart finally died.

But the tragedy goes far beyond this. Xu Qiubai soon discovered that this world is not only devoid of the dreamy two-dimensional flavor, but also takes the three-dimensional sense of reality to the extreme.

The initial conditions at the beginning made Xu Qiubai feel uncomfortable. It was not the youthful and fresh high school that people could miss at any time in their lives, but the boring university that was as mechanical as a machine, where the fun belonged only to the current group.

Xu Qiubai was a invisible person in college for four years. He was forced by his parents to shave his GPA for four years. Every day he went from classroom to cafeteria, study room to dormitory, but in the end he still failed to pass the shave and was stuck on the edge of being admitted to graduate school.

After reincarnation, it was even more serious. Even the parents who were willing to "explode gold coins" were gone. He became an orphan without a father or a mother, and the cost of high school and college was entirely dependent on student loans.

Starting with a five-digit debt, Xu Qiubai was already desperate.

The only positive change may be that Xu Qiubai's appearance has been optimized. His body fat percentage has been controlled at a very good level, skin blemishes have been removed, and his myopia has been cured. Combined with Xu Qiubai's already very good facial features and height, he has completely gotten rid of the world's stereotype of the otaku and turned into a seemingly sunny and cheerful big boy.

But this is of no use. Love games are like this. The protagonist Xu Qiubai only needs to work hard after school to pay off the loan, while the NPCs in the game have to live a different kind of life every day and have to consider a lot of things.

At least that's how Xu Qiubai felt after playing for a month. No one was living a more miserable life than him.

A beautiful, poor student with a simple and lovable personality?

nonexistent.

The only poor student was me.

The average person in school is a petty bourgeoisie. They squeeze into the front row during class to interact with the teacher, and after class they discuss how to carry out club activities and where to go for vacation.

You ask me what the system is for?

Good question, but don’t ask it again next time.

Open the system panel and find the [Targetable Column]

[Number of attackable targets: 1]

[Name: Liu Xinyi]

[Current Favorability: 0]

The rounded elliptical curve is much smoother than Xu Qiubai's cerebral cortex.

Provincial flow: Liu Xinyi, a super high school level beautiful girl, a super high school level rich girl, a super high school level student leader.

If it were just the above attributes, Xu Qiubai would not be very afraid. He has played many college story games that start with a weak man and a strong woman. No matter how strong and arrogant you are in the early stage of the game, in the second half of the game, you have to obediently fight with Xu Qiubai in various scenes.

Of course, Xu Qiubai was not very interested in the injection plot, he just treated it as some kind of material. What he was pursuing was spiritual healing.

As we all know, the better the game, the more it pays attention to its internal logic. The development of any thing needs to be supported by an initial basic foundation.

The reason why the beautiful girls in most dating games stay with the protagonist until the end is because the initial first impression and favorability are not low. The initial amount plus the increase of various events eventually lead to a perfect two-way relationship.

But reality obviously does not require logic.

In this game that is more real than reality, Xu Qiubai's base is 0.

And Xu Qiubai knew very well that a favorability of 0 was only the lower limit of the system, not the lower limit of this world.

Liu Xinyi hates Xu Qiubai very much, and her hatred for him is unique and irreversible in the three-dimensional world.

Chapter 2: Feeling like playing a survival game

Recalling the details of this month's experience, Xu Qiubai still doesn't know what he did wrong.

On the first day of school a month ago, Xu Qiubai created an account and started playing under a camphor tree outside the west gate of Tunghai University.

Before he had understood the basic information and initial settings of this world, Xu Qiubai noticed a girl dragging a suitcase not far ahead.

Whether it was the casually tied half ponytail on her head, or the simple college style outfit of white shirt and light blue pleated skirt, or the undecorated and slightly fleshy long white legs under the pleated skirt, they all caught Xu Qiubai's attention at the first moment.

"Even in college, I still think girls with backpacks are cuter."

Xu Qiubai looked at the bear-style backpack on the girl's back and couldn't help but sigh.

There is no doubt that many aspects of this girl are above his cuteness.

There’s no way it’s the killer from behind, there’s no way it’s the killer from behind, there’s no way it’s the killer from behind,

Xu Qiubai repeated this sentence three times in his mind.

Just as Xu Qiubai was generating power on the spot, the girl suddenly put down her suitcase, squatted down and started tying her shoelaces.

When he stood up again, Xu Qiubai's eyes widened.

I don’t know if it was because the backpack straps were too long, but when the girl stood up, the bear backpack on her back lifted up her skirt and tucked it tightly between the backpack and her waist.
