Chapter 37: Mission Update
Zhang Yuan disappeared!
The moment he discovered that Zhang Yuan had disappeared, Yue Ran's pupils dilated instantly. He was convinced that the time he had just been swallowed by darkness was not long. This short time was not enough for a person to leave or go elsewhere, let alone Yue Ran. Ran is beside Zhang Yuan. If Zhang Yuan makes any move, Yue Ran will be the first to know.
"Disappear into thin air!"
Yue Ran came up with these four words in his mind.
After his thoughts converged, Yue Ran focused on the scene in front of him.
This is the first time Yue Ran has been to the teaching building of the junior high school. In the center of the hall on the first floor is a one-meter-high marble sphere. The surface of the sphere is engraved with patterns that Yue Ran cannot understand at all. The child actually reminded Yue Ran of the globe in the real world.
There are long corridors on both sides of the hall on the first floor. The dim yellow light of incandescent lamps is mixed in the darkness of the corridor, making it look so deep. The safety exit indicators emitting green light on both sides make it even more... A hint of mystery.
Facing the lobby on the first floor is a very wide staircase leading to the upper floor. The stairs separate to both sides at the turn from the first floor to the second floor, and then meet again at the main hall on the second floor, and so on until the top floor.
Just on the gentle platform of the wide staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor is a tall clock with a simple style. The clock is about two meters high. The yellowish copper dial is engraved with Roman numerals from 1 to 12. The huge pendulum below swings regularly in the clock base, making a "click-click" sound.
At this time, the hour hand of the clock points between the Roman numerals "8" and "9" on the copper dial, and the minute hand points to the Roman numeral "10" on the copper dial.
"Eight fifty, nine o'clock in ten minutes."
Yue Ran never forgot that he had a mission.
"The system task asked me to arrive in front of the junior high school teaching building at nine o'clock. It's not yet nine o'clock, so I should have completed the task ahead of schedule."
As if in response to what Yue Ran was thinking, who had remained silent all this time, a beep sounded in Yue Ran's ears that seemed to be from the rebellious system.
"Ding - congratulations! Completed the "Sunan University" copy side task - "Playing Games", task one: before 9pm tonight, arrive in front of the teaching building of the junior high school of Sunan University. Complete, and the settlement experience reward will be +5 %, now update the task as follows:
They are a group of lovely children, their eyes are full of innocence, they find happiness in chasing each other, they want to play games with you, but due to irresistible factors, the children came to the game location early.
Task 1: Arrive in front of the teaching building of the Junior High School of Sunan University before 9 pm today (completed).
Task 2: Arrive at the fifth floor of the junior high school teaching building of Sunan University before 9:10 this evening.
Mission 3: Don't let the 'ghost' catch you in the hide-and-seek game.
Task rewards, task completion rewards, each time a task is completed, the settlement experience reward is ➕5%.
Friendly reminder: First, they are a group of rebellious children. Don’t think about how well-behaved they will be. If necessary, you can find a teacher; second, always pay attention to the number of people playing games with you, there may be too many Come out one. "
The system prompt sound that was suspected of being rebellious disappeared again after the mission information was updated.
Then Yue Ran, who was standing there, pinched his right earlobe out of habit, and then said to himself: "The sound of this system is quite sweet, but I don't know if she can appear in human form."
As soon as Yue Ran finished speaking, he vaguely heard a sweet female voice in his ear: "Bah, I won't appear in front of you even if I can."
The sound was very small and sudden, so Yue Ran didn't hear clearly the last words of the system that seemed to be in the rebellious stage.
"Next, I should go to the fifth floor. It's 8:52 now. The latest time to reach the fifth floor is 9:10. I still have 18 minutes left. If I go up to the fifth floor from the first floor normally, , people with weak legs and feet can only use it for ten minutes at most, but the system gave me twenty minutes, which means that the process of walking upstairs from here will definitely not be smooth sailing."
Yue Ran once again pinched his earlobe out of habit.
"Another point is that the system tasks have been updated. The task description states that due to irresistible factors, the children who came here to play games all went to the fifth floor in advance. What is this irresistible reason? There is also the total amount of tasks. There is no change, but the content of the task has changed. There is one less task to play three games with the children, and one more time-limited task. Reach the fifth floor before 9:10. Well, the content of the prompt seems to have also changed. The general meaning is, If the children playing games are too naughty, I can sue the teacher."
Thinking of this, Yue Ran's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Snitching? The system really knows how to come up with ideas. I wonder if children who snitch in school will be ostracized."
After clarifying the mission and the current situation, Yue Ran decided to complete the mission according to the mission prompts.
Just as Yue Ran was about to go upstairs, someone suddenly called him from behind.
"Yu Ning, wait for me, why are you here so early."
When Yue Ran heard someone calling Yu Ning's name, he just felt it was familiar, and soon he remembered who the owner of the voice was.
"Ma Shan."
Yue Ran turned around and looked in the direction of the sound, and Ma Shan was standing behind Yue Ran, at the gate of the junior high school teaching building, a few steps away from Yue Ran.
Ma Shan, who is almost as tall as Yue Ran, is still dressed as he was when Yue Ran saw him in the morning. He is wearing a blue and white school uniform and a badge with the junior high school logo on his chest. But at this time, he Most of his upper body was hidden in the shadows, so that his small triangular eyes and facial expressions could not be seen clearly.
The first time he saw Ma Shan, Yue Ran's pupils shrank slightly. Although Ma Shan's upper body was hidden in the shadows, Yue Ran could clearly see the changes in his body.
At this time, Ma Shan's upper body was hidden in the shadows. His body was stooped, and there was a bulge on the ribs on both sides. The bulges were still squirming, holding up the blue and white school uniform on Ma Shan's body. high.
Immediately afterwards, the bulges on both sides of Mashan's ribs suddenly stopped squirming, and then shrank into his body. Then Mashan slowly walked out of the shadows as if he had regained control of his body.
His eyes are still small triangular eyes, and his mouth is still the same one that can reach the base of his ears when he smiles.
Nothing seems to have changed.
"Hey, Yu Ning, you haven't answered my question yet."
As the triangular-eyed Ma Shan spoke, he came to a position only a few steps away from Yue Ran.
