I'm in the Ark, a player.

I didn't expect it to be this type; it's not really what she wanted at all...

What she wanted was a more urban-themed game, one that better aligned with Qin Tianling's understanding of the game world.

Of course, there was another thing that Chen Huijie was not satisfied with... This was just too boring!

She didn't find any fun in this kind of text-based game, and the options that popped up now seemed rather unnecessary.

For example, now, the male protagonist is at the convenience store and notices the girl behind him wants a meat bun, and there happens to be only one left. The options that pop up are either to give up the bun or not to.

I feel like anyone who's not stupid knows which option to choose.

Why are you hesitating?

I'd definitely choose to give up the meat bun!

The character in the back has such a beautiful illustration; she must be one of the heroines. Choosing her might just get me into her romance route!

Holding a meat bun in one hand, Qin Tianling stood next to Chen Huijie and they both looked at the screen and said...

"Believe me! Even though I don't play Ga La Ge Mu much now, I'm still the world's number one player in Ga La Ge Mu!"

"Of course I know I have to choose—no? Why are you in my house?"

Chen Huijie suddenly turned her head and stared at Qin Tianling.

When did it appear?!

I should have locked the door!

"Um?

You don't need to worry about this little thing. You should be focusing on playing in your little corner, not asking questions like "Why am I in your house?"

Qin Tianling originally intended to find Chen Huijie to accept a mission, so he followed the map and climbed in like an assassin, but he didn't expect Chen Huijie to be playing with wood in the corner.

The NPCs in the game are playing around in the corner, a game within a game, wow, isn't that interesting!?

So Qin Tianling had been watching over Chen Huijie for some time.

"I remember locking the door."

"Your door was locked, but the kitchen window didn't have a security door, so I climbed in."

They climbed in?

This is the sixteenth floor!

Chen Huijie looked at Qin Tianling in front of her, then at the meat bun in his hand.

This guy not only climbed sixteen floors with his bare hands, but he even brought breakfast with him!

Outrageous!

Although Chen Huijie already knew that this guy was just that outrageous, she still couldn't help but sigh when he did those outrageous things again.

"What, you want to eat it? Even if you do, I won't give it to you."

Noticing Chen Huijie's gaze, Qin Tianling protectively reached out and blocked Chen Huijie's view.

"I bought this from a really popular steamed bun shop nearby. When I got there, there was only one meat bun left."

"Luckily I arrived quickly, otherwise that blonde, wavy-haired catgirl who looks really rich would have snatched her away!"

Qin Tianling hadn't eaten breakfast before logging into the game, but because the game was so realistic and the aroma made him want to eat, he specially bought some to try.

—It's rare for college students to eat breakfast if they don't start at 8 a.m.!

At that time, the blonde catgirl behind him was planning to buy the meat bun from Qin Tianling at double the price, but Qin Tianling ignored her completely!

For some reason, Chen Huijie felt a sense of déjà vu as she listened to Qin Tianling's description.

The game I just played seems to have a similar storyline?

Thinking of this, Chen Huijie's gaze towards Qin Tianling began to turn strange.

"What...what are you doing?"

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable being pressed against like that, Qin Tianling turned his head to look at the computer screen.

The screen is still stuck on that option.

On the option of whether to give up the meat buns,

Looking at this option, it was as if some gear in Qin Tianling's mind had suddenly clicked and connected.

He looked down at the half-eaten meat bun in his hand, then looked up at the options on the screen.

That blonde, wavy-haired catgirl,

The last meat bun,

Options,

Love line

His expression shifted from confusion to sudden realization, from realization to shock, and from shock to—

upset,

A deep-seated, heart-wrenching regret and remorse.

He slapped his thigh suddenly, the sound so loud it startled Chen Huijie.

"I forgot to buy soy milk to go with it!"

...

.........

Chapter 21, Cuckoo Cuckoo!

"No... this isn't right, is it?"

Chen Huijie couldn't help but complain.

You didn't say that when you were giving your opinions just now!

"What's wrong?"

Do you really think I'd do something as underhanded as giving the meat bun to that catgirl behind me, then getting involved in her emotional arc, and after all that 'and so on,' seeing her special CG?

Qin Tianling countered with a question,

"How could that be? How could the story of Ga La Ge Mu happen in reality!"

I also want to live that kind of life in the remote corner of Muli:

The new transfer student in my class is the one who sits behind me and forces me to go to karaoke. She waits for me every day in the activity room when it's just the two of us. The rich girl from the prestigious school next door waits for me at the gate after school. The delinquent from the vocational school takes a long way to walk me home, and then I get jealous of the rich girl over who gets to pick me up. When I perform on stage, an animal-like junior student comes uninvited to accompany me. A cool, emotionless girl comes to watch every performance. During rehearsals, a cool, sophisticated woman cheers me on when I'm embarrassed. I bump into a popular high school idol who helps me resolve my inner conflicts. Before a performance, I receive the microphone—a symbol of passing the torch—from a naturally energetic senior. My ex-girlfriend transfers from the prestigious school to my high school, and seeing that she can't win me over, she can only wish me happiness. And so on!

After Qin Tianling, the great god of the Wood Realm, finished chanting at high speed, he took a breath and continued,

"But how could such a thing possibly happen in reality?"

"Gazettes are gazettes, and reality is reality; the two cannot be confused!"

After he finished speaking, Qin Tianling was stunned for a moment.

Hmm... Is something wrong?

Is this a game too?

Holy crap, why is this game so realistic? I almost couldn't tell the difference between the game and reality.

Qin Tianling took another bite of the meat bun, looked at Chen Huijie, and asked him about the real reason he came here.

So, what task do you have for me now?

Last time, after Qin Tianling completed the task given by Chen Huijie, he not only received the weapon as a reward, but also received a transfer from Chen Huijie, which immediately increased the progress bar of Xuezhi's equipment task by a lot!

The key point is that this dragon-hunting bow looks pretty good, you know?

【Dragon Hunter Greatbow:】

[From Dark Souls 3]

【illustrate:

The great bow used for dragon hunting in the age of the gods.

As for the bow, it was enormous beyond reason.

Therefore, it also possesses exceptionally powerful strength.

The bow must be fixed to the ground when shooting.

It will take preparation time and result in a long downtime.

And can only use large arrows to shoot.

Combat Skill: Penetrating Shot

Large arrows fired with increased spin

[Can penetrate all enemies in the line of fire, dealing damage]

[20 large arrows are automatically generated daily (during game time) and added to your inventory.]

All these factors combined led Qin Tianling to want to pass on Chen Huijie's task.

After all, she really does give you game currency, and I was short of game currency in the early stages!

But Chen Huijie became somewhat conflicted after hearing Qin Tianling's words.

Because she really didn't have anything suitable to entrust to Qin Tianling right now.

But if we don't give Qin Tianling work, who knows what he might do next?

Given his personality, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he'll eventually tear down the Dragon Gate...

After much deliberation, Chen Huijie finally spoke up.

"I don't have any tasks for you right now."

"Huh? If you don't assign tasks, how am I supposed to earn money?"

Yeah, if Chen Huijie doesn't issue any missions, how will Qin Tianling earn Lungmen Dollars?

Are we going to have to grind monsters in the slums again? That's way too inefficient!

Just as Qin Tianling was feeling disappointed, Chen Huijie changed the subject.

"but!

I can tell you where you can accept quests.

"where?"

"Penguin Logistics!"

Chen Huijie finally uttered the name she had been pondering for a long time.

This was the best outcome she could think of.

Qin Tianling needs money, so we need to introduce him to places where he can make big money.

Of course, the first person she thought of was Swire.

But upon closer reflection, Chen Huijie felt she couldn't handle it.

In front of Qin Tianling, Char Siu Cat might really just be a mascot.

So she thought of the owner of Penguin Logistics, the Emperor.

Penguin Logistics has so many troublesome companies, yet the Emperor manages to keep them all under control; he must have some real skills.

"Penguin Logistics? Logistics? Delivery services?"

Qin Tianling frowned slightly.

An NPC unlocking another NPC who can accept quests is a common practice in any game.

But what does it mean to introduce yourself as a courier?
