CH 24.2

(Two in one) You are the most delicious prey.

Seeing Wen Qing lost in his thoughts, Bai Tong casually leaned against the wall. His gaze gradually fell on Wen Qing’s clothes.

The corner of his white T-shirt was torn, and it had marks of being torn forcefully. The rags swayed in the wind, and the white and tender waist under the clothes could be faintly seen.

Except for the shirt, Wen Qing had played well, didn’t have any damage and was clean. Coupled with the still badly shaken appearance from the beginning, it wasn’t hard to imagine what happened at the end of the instance.

Bai Tong raised his eyelids and looked at Wen Qing’s delicate and beautiful face.

Appearance wasn’t a sin. Weakness was.

It had only been ten minutes since he’d appeared, but the people who stole glances at him frequently couldn’t be counted on both hands.

Bai Tong sighed. He glanced warningly at the people about to make trouble not far away.

Meeting Bai Tong’s eyes, the men in the corner flinched away.

Bai Tong raised his hand and snapped his fingers under Wen Qing’s eyes. “Wake up.”

Wen Qing came back to his senses and raised his head cluelessly.

Bai Tong questioned, “Is there anything else you’d like to ask?”

Wen Qing pursed his lips. He had a lot of questions, but he suddenly couldn’t ask nor say them aloud.

After thinking for a while, he softly asked, “That… can I add friends here?”

“Can I ask you later?”

Bai Tong laughed. “For one point, you want to whore me for nothing for the rest of your life?” 

Wen Qing’s cheeks were slightly red. He hurriedly said, “I can give you more money.”

Bai Tong shrugged and casually said, “One point is a discount for you newcomers. You won’t be able to afford the price after that.”

Wen Qing was stunned. He realised that Bai Tong’s main purpose wasn’t to make money, but to take care of newcomers.

So he only accepted one point.

“Thank- thank you……”

“Let’s go. I’ll take you to where you live.” Bai Tong turned around and walked into an alley.

Bai Tong was about 1.9 meters tall, and he walked so fast that people could lose sight of him in the blink of an eye. Wen Qing didn’t hesitate anymore. He hurriedly followed along. 

Wen Qing ran behind him. He grabbed his sleeves and panted, “Wait- wait a minute…”

Hearing his panting, Bai Tong stopped in his tracks.

Wen Qing calmed down for a while and slowly asked, “You- how do you know where I live?”

“The hotel operated by the system…”

As he spoke, Bai Tong paused, realised something

Asking this kind of question showed that the newcomer had a house.

Bai Tong stared at Wen Qing, a little surprised.

The residences in the World was different from the residences in the real world. It wasn’t a high-rise building on the roadside, but more of a personal space. It only dropped in a god-level instance.

Bai Tong chuckled. He thought, no wonder his (WQ) face wrinkled like this when he (BT) said that there was a high probability of going to the human-level instance.

Wen Qing didn’t notice his eyes. He lowered his head, panted, and said, “I have a reward residence for clearing the instance.”

Bai Tong laughed and said, “Then you’re pretty lucky.”

Wen Qing lowered his eyes and softly hummed.

Bai Tong pointed to the small buildings that could be seen everywhere on the roadsides, like British telephone booths, upright and square, transparent on all sides and with a door.

Wen Qing saw someone push a door open. They disappeared the second after they walked in.

Bai Tong said, “Open the door and head in, then you will be directly in your personal residence.”

“Thank you…” Wen Qing quietly thanked. Then, he quietly asked, “So you can add friends in this place, right?”

Earlier, Bai Tong had only said that he couldn’t afford the price. He didn’t say he couldn’t add friends in this place.

Bai Tong hummed and turned his head to look at him.

After trotting down this side of the road, Wen Qing’s pale cheeks were tinged red, and his hair was slightly curled up, looking very cute.

Bai Tong was afraid that his heart would soften if he stayed any longer, so he turned around and left without glancing back. “I’m leaving.”

Wen Qing glanced at his back, and walked towards the building that looked like a telephone booth.

There was a bulletin board beside the pavilion, and there were many people gathered in front of the board, chattering and gossiping:

“Has Oz cleared another god-level instance?”

“An instance with a hundred people, and he’s the only who who clears it.”

“Fucking awesome.”

…………

Wen Qing’s footsteps paused. He glanced up. There seemed to be something written on the bulletin board, full of pictures and texts. He had just read a few words when the bulletin board suddenly went blank.

“What the fuck, it’s actually refreshed, who pushed Oz down?”

Wen Qing was at a loss.

Who was Oz? What was a refresh?

Suddenly, a deep and cold male voice rang out in the air: 【 Player **, player ** successfully cleared the god-level dungeon Guide. From now on, the probability of appearing in a god-level instance will increase by 10%. I wish all players a happy game. 】

Wen Qing trembled in fright. Firstly, because of the contents of the notification. Secondly, because the voice of the main system was exactly the same as 001’s voice.

【 Player **, player ** successfully cleared the god-level dungeon Guide. From now on, the probability of appearing in a god-level instance…… 】

【 Player **, player ** successfully cleared…… 】

The main system broadcasted it thrice, and the players on the streets were in a riot.

“What’s the situation?”

“What instance is Guide?”

“I’m done for, I- I don’t want to enter a god-level instance ah.”

“Who the fuck dares to?”

…………

Wen Qing’s face grew paler and paler. He quickly ran into the pavilion in fright, opening the door and rushing in.

The moment the door was closed, the world before him changed.

It was a residence of about 100 square metres. It had two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen. It was beautifully decorated.

Wen Qing had no time to appreciate the decoration of the residence. He sat down on the floor, sourness on the tip of his nose.

The probability of a god-level instance appearing had increased, and the probability of him entering a god-level instance had also increased.

He wanted to cry.

【 Do you want to check your personal information? 】

001 suddenly spoke. Wen Qing was startled and subconsciously nodded.

The next second, a transparent panel appeared before him, with his information written on it.

【 Player: Wen Qing 】

【 Identity: Human (Can’t lift shoulders, can’t raise hands, average IQ, waste-type ordinary human being. 】

【 Age: 20 years old (human age of adulthood) 】

【 World visa: seven days (can only stay in the World for seven days, please pay attention to the date.) 】

【 Skill: ? ? Cry ? ? (The consequences of using this skill are unknown.) 】

【 Buff: Guide (all inhuman beings will have a good impression of you. Those with * want to * you, those without * also want to * you. 】

Wen Qing could understand the first few pieces of information, but what was the last line?

Wen Qing remembered that this buff was a reward for clearing the instance, but he couldn’t understand the explanation of the buff at all.

After struggling for a while, he cautiously asked 001, “What do the asterisks mean?”

001:【 It’s *. 】

Wen Qing: “???”

001 reluctantly explained:【 Specific words are blocked. 】

Wen Qing was stunned. If they were blocked……

It was definitely not a good thing!

After pondering for a while, Wen Qing tentatively asked, “Do- do they want to eat me?”

001:【 You can also think of it this way. 】

Wen Qing almost cried. This wasn’t a buff, it was clearly a debuff.

If his next instance was a god-level or a strange monster, wouldn’t it be a guaranteed gift of blood?

After a while, he quietly questioned, “Can I refuse this weird buff?”

001 didn’t speak.

Wen Qing pursed his lips. “Does this mean it’s okay by default?”

Then, he heard a sneer.

Wen Qing couldn’t hold back anymore. His eyes turned red, water vapour gathered in front of his eyes, and his vision gradually blurred.

While crying, he silently thought in his heart, it was fine if the voice was the same as the main system’s voice, but why did he still have to sneer……

Wen Qing felt as though he was with the main system all the time, being stared at by it, and it just felt terrifying.

After crying for a while, 001’s voice came back in his mind.【 The best hunters often appear in the form of prey. 】

These words sounded like they were comforting Wen Qing, but Wen Qing didn’t want to hear 001’s voice at the moment, and he didn’t dare to respond to it. So, he choked out, ”Am I the best hunter?”

001: 【 You are the most delicious prey. 】

Wen Qing: “???”

SV: little point of note here: when WQ refers to the main system, he uses the object 它 but when he refers to 001, he uses the general 他. just thought it was worth saying?

anyway, finally the summary appears lmao
