Shen Jiahe looked at the content on the paper, hesitated slightly, and tentatively called out, “Then I’ll get back together with Lin Yuanzhou?”
A line of text quickly appeared on the paper: 'Tone not firm enough'.
Shen Jiahe: “I’ll immediately get back together with Lin Yuanzhou.”
Paper: 'Voice not loud enough'.
Shen Jiahe raised her voice slightly: “I’ll immediately get back together with Lin Yuanzhou!”
Paper: 'Not enough said, need more sincerity'.
Shen Jiahe gritted her teeth, “That’s enough!”
Paper: 'You dare to be fierce with me!!'
Shen Jiahe: “……”
It was still a paper with a temper.
“Forget it, I’m not getting back together. I’m not doing this hidden quest,” Shen Jiahe said, about to stuff the paper back.
Scared, the paper immediately showed 'Congratulations, player, for completing the hidden quest!'
As the text appeared on the paper, the system sound in her mind also rang out.
“Congratulations, player, for being the first to complete the hidden quest! Reward: S-rank attack item, Laser Big Treasure Sword!”
Shen Jiahe: “……”
The name was as tacky as ever.
After completing the quest, Shen Jiahe exited the File Room.
She looked around and found that all the rooms here were empty, with no one inside.
However, everything was fully equipped; there was nothing missing.
Shen Jiahe found an office and sat down to rest for a while.
She had suddenly entered the horror instance, and after entering, her nerves had been constantly tense. She relaxed a little after meeting Lin Yuanzhou, but didn't stay long before coming out again.
Now that her body relaxed, a wave of fatigue instantly swept over her.
Shen Jiahe patted her face, forcing herself to perk up.
She propped her chin and looked outside. The offices here were built by the cliff, and looking out, they connected to an endless sea.
The waves were particularly large at this moment, and opening the window, she could clearly hear the sound of the waves crashing against the cliff face.
Shen Jiahe had nothing much to do at this point. All the quests were done, and she couldn't leave the instance, so she could only quietly find a place to stay for a while.
After letting the cool breeze blow for a while, Shen Jiahe casually flipped through things in the office and actually found a few books.
“Overbearing Ghost Falls in Love with Me,” “108 Ways to Cook Humans,” “She Escapes, He Chases, If He Catches Her, It’s Her Seventh Day…”
These books… they really had personality.
She didn't know how long she had been reading when a sudden clamor came from outside.
Shen Jiahe immediately became alert and hid behind the table.
Is this… someone coming?
The voices gradually approached, seemingly from two groups of people, who were arguing fiercely.
“You stop right there! Aren't you going to explain what just happened?!” a rough male voice rang out.
Following that was a familiar voice; it was Ding Dong.
“Yue Laoda, you should be thanking me. If it weren't for me, we’d all be dead there right now,” Ding Dong’s voice carried a composure unbefitting his age.
Yue Laoda’s face darkened as he looked at Ding Dong, “We could have entered safely. You pushed him out!”
Ding Dong let out a light laugh, his eyes slightly narrowed, “Don’t pretend to be a good person in front of me. You brought in many new members this time, wasn’t it to use them as cannon fodder? That’s enough.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Yue Laoda instantly fell silent.
Ding Dong continued, “Let’s do the hidden quest first. Maybe there’s something good in the random rewards.”
As the two spoke, they opened the office door.
Shen Jiahe knew she couldn't hide and simply stood up.
Neither of them had expected someone else to be in the room, and both were startled.
Yue Laoda looked at Shen Jiahe vigilantly, his hand already reaching into his pocket.
Ding Dong reached out to stop him, “This is my friend.”
Yue Laoda glanced at Shen Jiahe and didn’t say much, “I’m going back first.”
After Yue Laoda left, Ding Dong looked at Shen Jiahe and greeted her with a smile, “Sister, I didn’t expect to meet you here, what a coincidence.”
Shen Jiahe looked at Ding Dong. The white coat he was wearing was covered in a layer of dust, and there were several tears, as if it had been cut by some sharp blade.
He looked very disheveled.
“No coincidence, I came to do the hidden quest,” Shen Jiahe said.
Ding Dong sized up Shen Jiahe, and seeing no injuries on her, he asked curiously, “Sister, how did you get up here?”
“I walked up,” Shen Jiahe said.
Ding Dong’s face showed some suspicion, “When we came up, we were attacked by the paintings in the corridor, and we also encountered a ghost wall, unable to get out no matter what. Two people died before we made it up. Why are you completely fine?”
Huh??
So there was a trick to this corridor.
Shen Jiahe shrugged: “Maybe I’m just lucky.”
Ding Dong chuckled lightly: “I don’t believe someone’s luck can be this good.”
Shen Jiahe was indifferent, “If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. What? Are you going to kill me again?”
Ding Dong immediately put on a smiling face and waved his hand, “No such thing. Those previous words were just my subordinates being ignorant. How could I possibly be your enemy, Sister, with how formidable you are?”
Shen Jiahe didn't want to beat around the bush with Ding Dong. This kind of person, who seemed easy to talk to and always left a way out, was actually the most troublesome.
Seeing Shen Jiahe remain silent, Ding Dong asked again, “Sister, have you completed the hidden quest?”
Shen Jiahe nodded, “I have.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Ding Dong’s eyes, and he subconsciously asked, “How did you complete it?”
After asking, he seemed to feel a bit presumptuous and quickly added, “I believe with Sister’s help, we can complete the quest better and get out of the instance.”
Shen Jiahe: “By mouth.”
Ding Dong: “……”
The two had just chatted for a while when a group of people arrived.
Some of them Shen Jiahe had seen before, those in Ding Dong’s group.
The other part, she guessed, belonged to the side that called 'Yue Laoda'.
Shen Jiahe glanced over and suddenly spotted a familiar face in the crowd.
Lin Yuanzhou!!!
He, a big BOSS, actually disguised himself as a player and snuck in!
At this moment, Lin Yuanzhou’s face was much more normal, and combined with his dusty appearance, he really did look like a player.
“Are you done reminiscing? We need to complete the hidden quest first,” Yue Laoda said.
Ding Dong returned to his team.
Shen Jiahe had originally intended to pretend not to know Lin Yuanzhou.
But then this guy ran out of the team, practically skipping, and hugged Shen Jiahe.
He then started to cry like a tough man, “Wuwuwu! Wife! You’re actually here too! I met so many monsters just now, it was so scary! I was terrified.”
Lin Yuanzhou, with red eyes, perfectly portrayed the image of a delicate and useless man.
Shen Jiahe’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch. This man really knew how to act.
Well, now everyone knew they were a couple…
