Love Apartment (3)
/Text: Green Plum Sauce
Chi Ting didn't know that he had become an unlucky guy who was bound to die in the eyes of the audience.
He was quickly pulled into a group by Li Tao. At first, there were only the two of them, and then other players were also pulled in one after another.
Due to his personal skills, Li Tao actually didn't want to involve Li Hou and his friends at first. However, once this kind of thing is discovered in the future, it will only make him more hated. In the end, he grouped everyone together.
Then, he quickly started a new independent group again. The process was so smooth that it was obviously not the first time he had done this.
When Chi Ting passed all the friend applications one by one, he found that he had joined several more small groups in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but laugh.
Even though there were only 11 players left alive in the current dungeon, he highly doubted that after one night, there might be more than 12 people in the group.
Sure enough, humans in peaceful times are extremely cute creatures!
Of course, no one would expose the secretly joining a small group. The chat among the large group of players seemed to be tacit, and they exchanged the dungeon information collected today.
On one side were the [loving apartment family] with NPC present, and on the other side were the people discussing the clearance strategy [players would have to go down to the 20th floor]. Chi Ting was lying on the sofa like this, absentmindedly flipping through the group chat messages on both sides. .
It can only be said that the information given to them on the first day was really pitiful. Compared with the other fragmentary clues, Chi Ting was more curious about the tenant living in room 1203 next door.
According to his observation, all the NPCs in the building are very dedicated to their duties, but he is the only one who does not stay at home under the identity of "social animal". From the perspective of an NPC, it can even be called "not doing his job properly".
Chi Ting glanced at the clock on the wall.
According to what those NPCs said, the time for social animals to go home from get off work every day is after 22 o'clock, which is still two hours away.
Chi Zhan slowly wrapped his entire body in a soft velvet blanket and sunk into the sofa in a very comfortable posture.
When he raised his head slightly, his eyes stayed on the ceiling for a long time, and the message prompts continued one after another, falling clearly and abruptly in the empty atmosphere around him.
I don’t know how long it took, but his vacant gaze was retracted, and his smooth and sexy lower jaw was exposed under the slightly stretched neck. Every inch of the clear contours were stretched to tight by such movements, and then relaxed bit by bit. Come down.
Chi Ting gently pulled the choker on his neck, and his whole face was almost half buried in the blanket.
Drowsily, he glanced at the clock again: Well, there is still one hour...
Before being dragged into this dungeon, Chi Tingcai experienced a sleepless duel with the mother of alien species for three days and three nights.
It wasn't until this moment that he could relax a little. He was really too tired.
Unknowingly, there was no movement from the figure on the sofa, leaving only the slight rise and fall of his chest and his gentle breathing.
The hands on the clock moved slowly.
Finally it pointed to ten o'clock.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is almost numb——
[Damn, can you even fall asleep here? What a great feeling! 】
[Think about it from another angle... maybe falling asleep is a good thing. 】
[...Indeed, it cannot be refuted. 】
[At this point, it’s almost time, right? 】
[Listen, it’s coming! 】
In the midst of such silence, the sound of the elevator door opening came from the corridor outside the door.
It was like a saw tooth cut through the void, leaving behind a dry and broken voice, and even the barrage subconsciously returned to a blank.
"Pap, tap..."
Slow footsteps circled in the empty aisle, extending bit by bit to the end of the other side of the aisle.
The combination lock makes a subtle "beep" sound when it is opened.
Finally, with the dull sound of the door closing, the whole night returned to its original silence.
When Chi Ting woke up, the bright sunshine filtered in from the window and had already left a layer of gentle warmth on his blanket.
Looking at the clock again, it was just past ten o'clock, but it was obviously already past ten o'clock in the morning.
It is not difficult to see from the messages in the group that all the players have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the great cause of gaining favor since early in the morning. They are in full swing and it seems to be going very smoothly.
[1602-Chang Hefeng: I have almost achieved green status for the two NPCs on the 16th floor. If I can maintain this progress, it shouldn’t take too much time to clear the level! ]
Chi Ting looked at the very optimistic news that had just been posted in the group, raised his head slightly and yawned.
Although he also hopes to see everyone leave here happily, his intuition tells him that in this environment with too many unknowns, something will happen sooner or later.
He reached out and gently rubbed his slightly long hair, then turned and walked into the master bedroom.
The audience in the live broadcast room were eager to see this newcomer compete with 1203. They finally waited until they woke up, but they were extremely anxious due to his unhurried appearance.
Then, they saw Chi Ting find a change of clothes from the closet and plunge into the bathroom.
The screen in the live broadcast room was instantly filled with mosaics.
Audiences in the live broadcast room:? ? ?
Go to bed when you are full, and remember to take a shower when you wake up. Do you want to arrange a massage?
You really are here to be a life player, right?
Chi Ding really doesn’t mind staying here for a few more days.
It has to be said that in addition to the unique weirdness brought about by the copy itself, every inch of this apartment is full of life, whether it is the dazzling array of clothes in the closet or the bathroom that is filled with heat in the blink of an eye. , are undoubtedly what the dream life should be like.
As long as you stay for a few days at the end of the world, you will have no ability to resist such days!
Chi Ting was taking a bath while thinking about the next arrangements. He was so unhurried and unhurried that he couldn't tell that he was in an environment with an uncertain future.
The choker on the neck was taken off, and the red stone hanging on it was surrounded by water vapor and flowing with a strange luster.
The warm water flowed slowly down his skin, washing every corner of his body, from his chin to his collarbone, and then soaked his waist bit by bit. His long hair was wet and stuck to the side of his neck. , leaving a refreshing coolness in this hot environment.
After rinsing, Chi Ting came out of the shower. Through the mirror, Chi Ting could see the messy scars on his body.
There is also a tattoo with a strange pattern on his left shoulder near the collarbone. It is too crooked to tell what it is, leaving only a dark red trace. At first glance, it looks like someone left a drop of blood and tears on his body.
Chi Ting glanced at it and then looked away. He pushed his long, slightly damp hair to the side and put on his clothes one by one meticulously. It wasn't until the moment he pushed the door open and walked out that the mosaic filled the screen of the live broadcast room. Finally back to normal.
The audience was originally scolded and shocked by such a picture of a beauty taking a bath, but they were finally relieved to find that the newcomer finally remembered that there is such a thing as a strategy mission.
At this time, the social worker in Room 1203 had already left for work, so Chi Ting could only knock on the door of Room 1201 next door.
After a while, the door opened, and what emerged was a charming face.
As previously learned from the owner group, this woman named Qiao Mei is a well-known model. Just looking through the crack of the half-open door, it is difficult to conceal the unique charm exuded by her graceful figure.
The face at first showed displeasure at being disturbed, but when he saw Chi Ting's appearance clearly, all that remained was a soft smile: "Hey, are you my new neighbor next door? ?”
Qiao Qiao's gaze was obviously smiling, but when it fell on him, there was clearly a clear chill.
Chi Ting still had a very decent, gentle and kind smile on his face, he lowered his eyes and completed the inspection calmly.
It was the same feeling that the little girl gave him yesterday, but the only difference was that he seemed to be able to capture a trace of humanity from this woman.
Anyway, it has a bit of flavor that he likes, so communication is not a big problem.
Chi Ting stopped immediately with a calm expression on his face: "Hello, my name is Chi Ting, you can also call me Xiao Ting. We will be neighbors from now on. If you need my help, you can always come to me."
"Help..." The corners of the female model's mouth rose a little more. With this movement, her charming smile also looked a little weird, "The chandelier in my living room is broken, can you help me?" Do you want to repair it?"
As he finished speaking, a familiar virtual panel popped up in front of Chi Ting.
[Task name: Repair chandelier
Mission introduction: Qiao Mei, who often travels around the world's catwalks, is actually a typical stupid beauty. With almost zero life skills, she is always troubled by very ordinary things. Look, she accidentally broke the chandelier in her house. Can you help her fix it?
Mission reward: Qiao Mei’s favorability +20
Hidden effect: unknown (???)
Are you sure you want to accept the mission? yes or no]
Unlike last time, this time Chi Ting locked the [Yes] option without hesitation.
After hearing his promise, the female model seemed very happy and turned sideways to let him into the house.
Chi Zing observed the layout of the side condom as he walked inside.
On the left side of the door is the kitchen, and further inside is the living room where they are going. The elongated corridor extends further inside. The two sides should be the master bedroom and the guest bedroom. The layout seems to be very conventional and simple.
Chi Ting is 1.82 meters tall and can reach the ceiling light just by stepping on a chair. The repair process is very easy.
The moment he reconnected the power, he clearly saw the progress bar above the female model's head jump forward a small space, and the favorability value was +20.
Judging from the two missions encountered so far, they are basically not too difficult.
It can be seen that the clearance of this copy of the game has no impact on the player's physical strength.
After Chi Ting put away the repair tools, he turned around and met the female model's direct gaze. It felt like a pair of invisible hands gently caressing his face, which was extremely sticky.
Viewed from this angle, half of the female model's body is shrouded in shadow, which makes her eyes look particularly deep, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth becomes more and more distinct: "Why, is there any problem?"
The moment they looked at each other, the surrounding air suddenly became several degrees colder.
The entire space was so quiet that only the sound of breathing was left. To be more precise, it was only Chi Zhan's breathing.
However, the next second, he was already smiling like a spring breeze: "It has been fixed, how can there be still problems."
He got down from the chair very naturally and handed the tools in his hands to the female model's hands. He did not forget to remind him thoughtfully: "But I don't do this kind of work very much. There may be some lines that are not handled perfectly. If Then the light breaks again, so you can come next door and knock on the door to find me at any time.”
After finishing his words, he blinked slowly: "It is my honor to serve my neighbors."
Under such an overly candid attitude, the female model's demeanor also softened, and her smile was like a strong blooming rose like her name: "Don't worry, there should be many things that need to trouble you in the future. "
She looked at Chi Ting steadily, her eyes full of lust: "Who said, I like your face."
The last words fell gently against the ears, and the lingering final sound seemed to be holding invisible threads, drilling straight into the ears from all directions, like needles.
Chi Ting glanced at her, said goodbye and left without any wavering.
Until the moment he returned home and closed the door, the friendly smile that was hanging on his face a moment ago disappeared in an instant, and his slightly lowered eyes covered the calm eyes at the bottom.
Open the mobile phone group and take a look. Everyone is still sharing the progress of the task they just completed, and it looks like it is going very smoothly.
But the more this happens, the weirder everything seems.
In the next half day, Chi Ting's door was knocked three times. Each time, female models used various excuses to seek the simplest help from him.
All this seemed very ordinary under the rules, but such attentiveness inexplicably gave Chi Ting a feeling that "she" seemed to be more anxious about the favorability strategy than he was.
It wasn't until after nine o'clock in the evening that everything finally became quiet.
Judging from the progress statistics in the group, someone has successfully completed the strategy of two NPCs on the same floor in a short time. The collective green name means that they have obtained the permission to move in the new area.
[Seven days! No, I feel like I can get out smoothly in less than seven days! ]
[It should be faster if we cooperate with it. ]
[My grandma also gave me a basket of eggs today. Our relationship has indeed improved qualitatively. ]
[The same goes for the NPC next door to me. He was a little brat, and he coaxed me to no end. I’d probably have to count the money after selling him. ]
[Playing this game for the first time, it feels much simpler than what I've encountered before. ]
[Although the way these NPCs look at people always makes me feel uncomfortable, at least it is within the acceptable range. I hope there will be no reversal in the future. ]
[Shut up! Don’t breastfeed! I am willing to continue at the current pace! ]
It’s hard to tell from the words that everyone is really so optimistic, but they are just trying to improve their own momentum by encouraging themselves. But no matter what, at least the positivity expressed is quite inspiring, and everyone is trying their best to pass the level attentively.
Chi Ting did not join the group chat, and his fingertips slowly touched the strange stone on his chest.
At the end of the day, although the content of the mission was almost free of charge, the way the female model looked at him was too explicit. It would be fine if she was really a human being, being stared at like this by someone who didn't know what she was. I always have an uncomfortable feeling for no reason.
Chi Zing moved his shoulders and stood up from the sofa.
Just as he was about to go back to the master bedroom to sleep, the faint sound of footsteps in his ears made him stop suddenly.
He looked at the clock on the wall.
It was just past ten o'clock.
Could it be that the social beast is back?
Thinking like this, Chi Ting also lowered his footsteps and looked outside through the peephole.
However, what he saw was still an empty corridor.
Chi Ting didn't move because he was very sure that he couldn't hear it wrong.
In the long silence, something finally swayed vaguely below the field of vision.
That thing looked a little short, and it had to work very hard to stretch upward bit by bit in a weird posture.
Until Chi Ting saw a pair of eyes that were as empty as dead objects meeting his eyes.
The light at the top of the aisle happened to flicker slightly, and Chi Ting blinked slowly.
It was no longer the original white light, but a dark and strange green.
And under such a beam of light, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the person at the door.
Gloria.
"Brother, my doll is missing. Can you help find my doll?"
The same question as before, the clear children's voice seemed to have a special magic power, squeezed in through the gap in the door, and fell clearly into the ears.
Such a weird scene would be enough to cause screams no matter who it fell into. Chi Ting was silent for a moment, but only frowned slightly.
Only one question came to his mind - Gloria couldn't go down to the 12th floor. Does her sudden appearance here also mean that the previous area restrictions have completely expired?
The phone vibrated vaguely twice, and Chi Ting lowered his head to open it.
[Ah ah ah what's going on! Have you seen how all the NPCs on other floors suddenly ran out? ! ! ]
[Damn it, that guy is standing in front of my house with an ax and he doesn’t know what he wants to do. ]
[Isn’t that mother-in-law on the 8th floor? Why did she suddenly come to my 9th floor? ]
[Woooooooo they're knocking on the door, they're knocking on my door desperately, help, is there anyone here to help me -! ]
[No, I feel like I can't continue like this! Tomorrow, tomorrow I must get enough favorability and leave here! ]
After the first sentence, as if a signal was sent out, one after another news rushed out from the player group in an instant, and the strong fear and uneasiness conveyed from them instantly merged into the dead silence of the night.
They cannot see the barrage content that floods the screen in their live broadcast room.
One after another, the scenes in the live broadcast room were densely covered, as if they were the devil's whispers behind the dungeon rules.
——[Finally, the game officially begins! 】
