Pei Guang nodded: "Just keep an eye on this cup of coffee. Well, from what I can see so far, this cup of coffee should not be poisonous." “What’s wrong with this coffee?” Pei Guang shook his head: "No, it's just delicious and helps me sleep. I just want to try it again." San Yueqi looked at Pei Guang in surprise, while Pei Guang picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip. He felt nothing unusual but instead felt that the coffee had a mellow taste. The bitterness and sourness danced in his mouth. But this time Pei Guang did not savor the delicious taste of coffee carefully, he drank it all in one gulp. When the coffee entered his mouth, he felt his consciousness blurred again. "You know what...it's really delicious...don't drink it all..." This was Pei Guang's last words before he fell asleep. Looking at Pei Guang lying down again, San Yue Qi showed a shocked expression on her face, because she saw with her own eyes that the empty coffee cup was suddenly filled with coffee. "What is this...?" Sanyueqi looked at Pei Guang and Xing. Both of them were fine and just fell asleep. Their steady breathing and peaceful expressions proved that they were sleeping soundly. Pei Guang, who had just woken up, proved that this thing had no effect on the body. Looking at the cup of coffee, San Yue Qi's hand couldn't help but pick up the coffee cup.
"This cup of coffee is... so weird." Although she said it was weird, her body instinctively picked up the coffee cup. This behavior seemed to be engraved in her DNA and she couldn't control it. “One bite, just one bite!” Picking up the coffee and taking a sip, the rich and fragrant aroma made San Yue Qi involuntarily purse his lips. "You know what, it's really delicious. But why do you fall asleep after drinking it? I don't feel anything wrong with my body? Do you want to... have another sip? After all, Guang said it's not dangerous..." Thinking of this, she excitedly raised the coffee cup and poured the coffee into her mouth. “It’s really delicious…” This was her last words. After San Yue Qi drank the coffee, she fell asleep. At the same time, the cup of coffee fell steadily between the three of them and the empty cup was filled with coffee again. The trio that had never been wiped out by the Antimatter Legion were successfully wiped out by Coffee after taking a shower. Less than ten minutes later, Xing woke up. "I am..." Xing rubbed his head, trying to recall why he fainted. “There’s something wrong with this coffee!” She subconsciously looked at the table, and the cup of coffee was still full. Just as she was about to study it, Pei Guang, who had fallen asleep, woke up. "Are you alright?" Hearing the concerned inquiry, Pei Guang shook his head: "It's okay, it's just coffee that makes you sleepy, there are no other side effects. By the way, this coffee tastes good." "Sleepy coffee?" Pei Guang nodded: "Well, I got a general idea of it after drinking it once. You will be drowsy for about ten minutes after drinking it. The specific time depends on your physical condition and the number of times you drink it. There is no harm except for sleeping. But then again... Will you faint if you don't drink the whole cup?" Xing: “Try?”
Pei Guang: "Let's get started. You go first. I'll drink the rest." Xing drank half of the coffee, and Pei Guang took the rest and drank it all. The moment the last cup of coffee went into his stomach, Pei Guang fell asleep again. Xing clapped his hands with an expression that said, "I understand. People who drink the last sip of coffee will fall asleep! Hmm... it's full again and tastes good. Let me drink half more~" Xing admitted that this coffee tasted really good. Now that he knew its characteristics, why not just drink half a cup? Looking at the cup of coffee that was full again, Xing picked it up and drank half of it. "It tastes good. Have another sip." "One more bite!" "Hey? Why do I feel a little dizzy..." If Pei Guang was here, he would definitely find out what the characteristics of this coffee are. He would fall asleep after drinking the last sip, and he would also fall asleep after drinking a certain amount cumulatively. But Xing didn't think of this. She just looked at the remaining half cup of coffee and staggered to the ground. At this time, San Yueqi just woke up. Looking at the staggering Xing and the still sleeping Pei Guang, she decided not to drink the coffee this time and wait for them to wake up. Chapter 20: Set off! Find the treasure chest Ten minutes later, the three of them looked at the cup of coffee on the table at the same time. March 7: "This thing is so weird." Xing: "Another bite?" Pei Guang: "I don't think so. This should be a special item and not for us to drink." Xing: "Special props?" Pei Guang was about to explain when the three people's cell phones rang. They opened them and saw messages from Estelle. Esta: "I have edited the highlights and sent them to Jizi. Your mission rewards have been prepared for you. You can come and get them now or take them when you are ready to leave after strolling around. There are still 20 treasure chests left in this space station waiting for you to explore. I wish you all a happy time in the Black Tower Space Station. Thank you for your contribution here." In Esta's opinion, Pei Guang is the real hero who saved the Black Tower. He brought back 21 doomed clerks, taunted and killed Doommon when it appeared, and even saved San Yue Qi and Dan Heng at the last moment. In her eyes, Pei Guang was a good man, a hero, like a brave man in a cultural story. It was just that his thinking was a little abnormal and his behavior was a little weird. But what was the hero in her eyes thinking at this moment? Thinking about how to take away all these twenty or so treasure chests! Pei Guang: "Let's get the treasure chest first!!" March 7: "Treasure chest! I hope there's something shiny in it." Xing's eyes twinkled when she saw the message on her phone: "I think we can go for a walk. I found ten treasure chests in the safe zone before." Pei Guang: "You found ten. I opened one when we were fighting together. That means there are thirty-six treasure chests in the space station? Shouldn't we collect them all? Let's go?" Xing was shocked: "What? When did you sneak open it?" Pei Guang: "While attracting the enemy, I found the treasure chest I found before, and opened it." March 7: "Your hands are so fast? I didn't even notice."
Pei Guang stood up and said, "Of course, I'm a professional at opening treasure chests! After completing the mission, the rewards won't be lost if they are left there, but time is limited. I'll open more treasure chests before the main story begins. I'll have a good idea! Don't worry, I won't keep the rewards for myself. Then the three of us will level up together!" Although we have formed a team of three now, according to Pei Guang's experience, if we want to proceed to the main quest, we need to level up. And what are we doing by staying for three days? Is this obviously a game mechanism to level up? You can't improve by yourself alone. According to his judgment, even in the so-called real world, only by improving together can you better cope with the battle. Moreover, with such a large space station, there should be a lot of coffee with special functions like the one I just collected. You can explore it to obtain more materials to improve your weapons and levels, and it will be easier to pass the main quest. "But then again, this game doesn't seem to have levels? Or professions? Damn it! I'm happy that more game features were stitched in, but stitching in an exit mechanism like Sword Art Online makes me want to curse." Sanyueqi: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will all be there. But Guang, do you have any plans for the future? Do you want to return to your hometown in the future?" Pei Guang recalled, "Hometown? There is no hometown in this world. I can only take it one step at a time and see where I end up. You are the first person I met in this world. If you don't mind, I will follow you to run the main story. As for the rest? It depends on fate. I will take it one step at a time. If I have to, I will die. I will gamble whether I will exit the game if I die. If I win, I will exit the game. If I lose, I will die. There is a guarantee that I will not lose anything. But to be honest, I don't want to gamble. I know my luck too well. I don't gamble on the probability of returning to my hometown only after death~" These words were a mess, and Sanyueqi and Xing only understood the general idea. However, the key words they extracted were that Pei Guang had nowhere to go in this world, and only death could allow him to leave this world, and Pei Guang did not want to die. At the same time, Xing also heard about luck, so he asked curiously: "You have bad luck? I feel like you have good luck." Pei Guang: "What's my name?" San Yueqi answered subconsciously: "Pei Guang!" Pei Guang nodded: "Yes! Pei Guang, Pei Guang, in the end, I lost everything. According to my experience since childhood, as long as I dare to gamble, I will lose. Especially that experience when I was a child, I am sure that I can't gamble, absolutely not gamble! Even if I have no other choice, I can't gamble." When she heard Pei Guang talking about his childhood, San Yue Qi suddenly became interested. She had no memory of the past, but she was curious about Pei Guang's past: "Tell me about it? I'll make you like me better." When Pei Guang heard that it could increase his favorability, he instantly perked up: "That was when I was in school. That was the most addictive gambling dog I've ever been in my life." Xing pricked up his ears to listen, and Sanyueqi was also eating the melon with excitement. Pei Guang: "That time, when I felt it coming up, I bet it was shit! In the end, I lost the bet, and lost everything." March 7: "Puff!" Xing: "Puff!" With just one simple sentence, Sanyueqi and Xing instantly figured out what happened. At this moment, they both couldn't help laughing out loud. Xing: “Hahahaha!” San Yue Qi held her stomach and said, "Pfft! Why is it so funny when you say this..." The reason why it's funny is simple, the contrast is too great. Although Pei Guang is not serious, he is only not serious in his behavior. Just like what Dan Heng said at the time, knowing what Pei Guang wants to do and expressing what you want to do to him, the two of them are actually very relaxed when communicating, and even very stress-relieving. In terms of their respective goals, Pei Guang is a very reliable and warm-hearted companion. They work together in battle, go crazy together during breaks, and can help with some things that are difficult to talk about. Although she is crazy, she also enjoys this happiness. No matter how he behaved, Pei Guang would never let himself or his companions suffer any loss. But such a companion, unexpectedly! Actually... Sanyueqi and Xing smiled. Pei Guang was actually very happy when he saw Sanyueqi's smile, because his favorability kept increasing when he started to pay attention to her. Whether it was true or not, it didn't matter. In Pei Guang's opinion, it was just a game, and he just had to enjoy the process. Whether it was a real and happy feedback from his companions or for the purpose of getting a good impression, Pei Guang felt happy. However, looking at the rising favorability, Pei Guang always felt that something was not right. Why was the favorability growing at such a speed as if it was laughing? +1+1+1+1~~~~+1~~~+1+1~ This kind of increase feels like a perfunctory response to him, but it doesn’t matter, as long as it increases.
The three of them came to the base cabin chatting and laughing. There were a lot of people here, because the enemy had been eliminated and everyone was moving resources for reconstruction, or reorganizing data to count the losses, and there was also a live broadcast for interviews and consolation. According to Esta's description, there are still twenty treasure chests. So this planet, which has never been visited and has not been explored by Pei Guang and San Yueqi, naturally becomes the primary target for finding treasure chests. In Pei Guang's opinion, with the resources in the treasure chest, things will be more stable when the main quest begins in a few days. In the base cabin, the three decided to search for the treasure chest separately, but just as they were about to separate, Xing called Pei Guang. "A Guang, look!" San Yue Qi also heard Xing's voice, so Pei Guang and San Yue Qi looked in the direction Xing pointed. I saw a treasure chest placed in front of the two trash cans, and a person standing next to the treasure chest. Pei Guang looked familiar with this man. He was the man who stopped him when he was about to open the treasure chest before. Chapter 21: Plotting the Treasure Chest, Plotting Out Loud, Live Pei Guang was very familiar with this person. He was the one who took the treasure chest away when it was discovered. Pei Guang yelled: "Damn it! He is the one who occupied my treasure chest. Now he is guarding the treasure chest and it is not easy to deal with it." Xing took out the bat and said with full momentum: "Let me knock him out." San Yue Qi pondered, "This is not good. After all, he is a staff member here. Knocking him out is not in line with the rules here." Xing: "It's okay, rules are meant to be broken!" San Yue Qi couldn't help but complain: "But that's not how you break it! And why would you knock someone out for no reason? Guang, stop him! Xing is going to get bad." Pei Guang nodded and said, "After all, it's an NPC guarding the treasure chest. It may be a treasure chest that needs to complete a task to be opened. It's not appropriate to knock him out directly. If he is discovered, he will lose the task reward." San Yue Qi looked at Xing: "Look! Hmm?" After taking a closer look, she found something wrong. Pei Guang continued, "It's not worth it to complete a quest just for a treasure chest in such a free and open game. I have a plan. As long as we don't get discovered, our reward will not be less." March 7: "?" Xing: “Speak!” Pei Guang took out the coffee that he had put away when he left. Looking at the coffee that Pei Guang took out, a smile appeared on Xing's face. Pei Guang said solemnly: "This kind of task can only be entrusted to you. He should have an impression of me and Qi'er. It won't work if we invite him to have coffee." Xing: "No problem! Leave it to me. As expected of you, you think so quickly." Pei Guang: "Of course. In this open world, every strange item you encounter has a special function. I think we came across this sleepy coffee, so it must be useful. Look, it's used now. I think the items in the Novice Village will be useful in the future. Remember to keep them after you use them." Xing: "So the question is, what if he doesn't like coffee?" Hearing this, Pei Guang took out a bottle of milk, drank half of it, and poured the coffee in the coffee cup into it. Then he shook the bottle and said, "Then you can ask him to drink coffee-flavored milk. If it doesn't work, just shout. Don't worry, I will send justice from heaven and pretend to be a security guard to take the person away. Then you can just open the box." Xing took the coffee and showed a confident smile on her face: "No problem, leave it to me!" San Yueqi was lost in thought as she watched this scene, her body wrestling with her last conscience. But when she turned around, she suddenly noticed something: many people in the cockpit were looking at this side, and someone was conducting a post-war interview live.
Because their voices were a bit loud, many people had already focused their attention here. Looking at this scene, she knew that she had entered a choice. Completely become Pei Guang's companion, or leave at this moment and become a normal-looking person. All her previous actions were private, and she was able to let go completely, but now... She looked around, and it was so strange. Even if she stopped exploring one day, this was not the place she would choose to return to. She looked at Pei Guang again, recalling what he had said before. “Perhaps death will allow me to return home.”
