Chapter 72: Reality


“Miss, here's what you asked for.” The assistant handed over the bag while sneaking a glance inside the door.


He had brought clothes—men's clothes.


Early in the morning, before the mall even opened, they had prepared these clothes as requested by the Miss, following her personal message sent the night before. Naturally, the mall staff dared not be negligent.


It felt like he had stumbled upon something extraordinary.


Who is this person?


The book’s overbearing CEO and her little love interest?


He seemed to read a lot of those clumsy son-in-law stories.


Elder Ye had mentioned that Miss could find a well-controlled partner.


As he was thinking, he met Ye Nianchu’s calm gaze, and the assistant shuddered, no longer daring to be curious. "If you have no other instructions, I'll leave now."


After saying that, he quickly disappeared from Ye Nianchu’s sight, as if something was chasing him.


Ye Nianchu took the bag upstairs and knocked on the door. The teenager inside had just finished washing up, his black hair half-dried, looking clean and noble like the wind and moon.


"Come down for breakfast later."


Ye Nianchu handed him the bag and, without waiting for a response, turned and went downstairs.


Her quick movement left Qin Mubai, who was in the room, slightly stunned.


Downstairs, Ye Nianchu answered a phone call.


"Nian Nian, I have something for you. Are you free for dinner today?"


Ye Nianchu smiled silently, her eyes darkening, "Sure, 6 pm."


She wanted to see what that family was up to.


Qin Mubai changed into his new clothes, and they had breakfast together.


"I remember you said there are no such things as teammates with you."


"That’s right." Qin Mubai smiled, "Sister is sister."


It’s different from what she had imagined.


Ye Nianchu had returned to investigate situations in the survival game and probably understood how dangerous the teenager in front of her was.


She was one of the first S-Class players, having been in the survival game for two years, with a six-month break in between.


Qin Mubai couldn’t have been in the game for too long, or she would have known about him given his strength.


Finding him was like discovering a real treasure.


So, she's off the rails?



---


In the afternoon, Shen Yan entered the tea room and saw two people sitting inside. At first, he thought he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes vigorously.


The people were still there.


So, who is this man?


Where did he come from?


Shen Yan looked at Qin Mubai warily. The man’s face seemed like an old sea king pretending to be simple, and his eyes were even more captivating!


He had never seen such a person before.


Shen Yan wanted to speak but hesitated, thinking for a while, just about to say something.


Ye Nianchu looked up, "What brings you here?"


Shen Yan swallowed his words. Since his sister had brought someone here, it was clearly not ordinary.


When had he ever seen her bring an outsider here?


"My mom sent me to deliver something." He took out a simple, ancient-looking invitation letter and placed it in front of Ye Nianchu. "University A’s school celebration. I heard it’s being given special attention this year."


Shen Yan’s mother, Ye Nianchu’s aunt, is a professor at University A. Every year, the school invites outstanding graduates from previous years to the celebration.


Ye Nianchu glanced at the time on the invitation, "Alright, I'll go if I have time."


After Shen Yan sat down, he continued to scrutinize Qin Mubai, feeling that this person might have ulterior motives.


For someone like him, Shen Yan had to find a way to make him back off.


The more Shen Yan looked, the more suspicious he became.


Yet, Qin Mubai remained calm and composed, with his smile never fading.


Qin Mubai raised his eyes, his voice consistently pleasant, “Sister, am I interrupting your conversation?”


Shen Yan paused. Sister?


He called his sister "sister" right in front of him?

Chapter 2 (Peachland)

Chapter 2 "It's not impossible," the man across from her said, picking up some food with his chopsticks. "The system doesn’t reveal anything, and there's no response when we ask." Deng Lan agreed. She had been watching a drama at home, and then, in a blink, she was suddenly in this game. She couldn’t quit; it felt like a bad deal she had no choice but to accept. She had never seen a game this awful. Luckily, she was fortunate. When she met Ding Qi, another new player, Deng Lan was relieved to finally find a teammate. Being alone in the game was scarier than being pulled into it. "Why don’t we stay near the town exit and, on the sixth day, leave right away at dawn?" Deng Lan suggested. A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ding Qi’s eyes, but he didn’t show it. He seriously analyzed, "I think the game won’t let us pass that easily. The closer we get to the exit, the more dangerous it might be." Deng Lan didn’t know what Ding Qi was thinking, but hi

Max-Level Big Shot in the Survival Game

When Ye Nianchu is brought back into the game as a newbie, her bad luck seems to follow her everywhere. As she searches for clues, she heads straight for the BOSS. But stockpiling supplies turns into a crisis as she struggles on the way. "This game is too hard," she mutters. "Maybe all my luck was used up just meeting Qin Mubai." When they first meet, Ye Nianchu sees the boy with a paintbrush and thinks, "This NPC is really good-looking." Later, though, the boy holds a craft knife like a killer, but his smile is both kind and harmless. "Others are just trying to survive," she thinks. "He’s just playing a game. What kind of game is this? Can I report him for cheating?" In this game, players face a peaceful town that suddenly becomes a dangerous apocalypse, songs from the deep sea, a train that disappears mysteriously, a strange rainforest, and a weird sanatorium. "Danger keeps coming. Players either finish tasks to leave or die in t

Chapter 5 (Peachland)

Chapter 5 There were meals available at the B&B, but of course, they cost extra. After dinner, Ye Nianchu went up to the public terrace. From there, she could see the entire town at a glance. Smoke rose from the chimneys along the riverbank, and her gaze fell on the Huanzhen River. On the sixth day, if she couldn't leave this place, the mission would fail. The first day was almost over, and she didn’t have much time left to figure out how to pass the game. As the wind blew through the mountains, lifting her hair and the hem of her clothes, she suddenly noticed a figure. On the other side of the terrace, in front of an easel, sat a young man. He was tall and had a handsome, upright figure. His face was like it had been chiseled by a master sculptor. Pale skin, delicate features—he looked like a portrait come to life. Even from a distance, Ye Nianchu found it hard to look away. The boy held a paintbrush in his hand. His fingers were long and elegant. His clean, gentle appearance

Chapter 11 (Peachland)

Chapter 11 Some people, curious about the scene, came closer and quickly felt sick. The thought that the fish they had eaten for a midnight snack last night might have come from this river only made their fear worse. "I never want to eat fish again," someone said, shuddering. Nearby, several tourists who had stayed at the same B&B as the deceased, along with the B&B owner, stood together, looking very worried. The person they had shared a meal with just yesterday was now dead. "I saw Deng Lan last night; how could this happen?" Zhou Yun said, trembling. "Boss, did Deng Lan leave the B&B last night?" someone asked. The B&B was small, run by the owner herself, with no other staff except for a cleaning lady. The owner usually stayed at the front desk until locking up for the night before going to bed. The owner, looking pale and nervous, hesitated before answering, "I—I don't know. I didn’t pay much attention." The owner knew Den

Chapter 6 (Peachland)

Chapter 6 "As for the early clearance, those who got their qualification today might be S-ranked players," Wang Hai said. Wang Hai was still searching for someone, so he couldn’t give more details. Liang Zuo and Zhou Wen felt anxious but tried to hide it. They were beginning to think Wang Hai, who bragged about being a top player, seemed more like a con artist. "You newbies don’t know anything," Wang Hai said, glancing at them. "Since we're in the same game, let me give you a tip. For newbies like you, besides completing the quests, you should avoid top S-ranked players." "If you meet someone else, you might get lucky and clear the game with them. But if you run into one particular player, you’d better be careful." "Who?" Liang Zuo asked, leaning in. "We don’t know his name, but his last name is Qin. He’s an S-ranked big shot. It’s said that in one game round, almost everyone died, not because of the game, but because of him. T
