Chapter 75

 Chapter 75: Lost Song of the Deep (2)


[Game: Deep Sea Fanfare]


[Difficulty Level: B]


[Mission:


1. Survive until the end of the game;



2. Complete the cruise itinerary.]




The name of the game, "Deep Sea Fanfare," suggests a special kind of challenge.


Choose one of the two tasks.


This introduction reveals some details.


The current date on Ye Nianchu’s phone is June 2, and players have three days to prepare.


Whether you board the Goni Cruise openly or sneak in, you must be on the ship within three days, or the mission will be deemed a failure.


“Ms. Ye, just to confirm, you’re ordering the Goni Deluxe Suite for two. The trip is for twenty days,” the staff said, enthusiastic and ready to explain the cruise’s attractions again.


“Uh, swipe the card,” Ye Nianchu replied, holding out a black card between her fingers.


"Okay, okay." The staff took the card with both hands. "We have special packages as well. Would you like to hear about them?"


"No need," Ye Nianchu said with a faint smile.


“We’ll deliver your gifts to your room. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.”


—


Ten minutes later, Ye Nianchu went out with a map of the itinerary in hand. She found a beachside hotel with a villa and rented a car to get things prepared.


In the vast expanse of the sea, preparation is key. Water, food, and medicine were easy to manage, but packing for two was necessary. The cruise was twenty days long, and something would likely go wrong in between.


Given the two tasks from the system, the cruise would not normally reach shore under typical conditions.


The second mission provides an early advantage and better chances of success.


Ye Nianchu bought an inflatable lifeboat, essential for survival. If the ship capsized from hitting icebergs or reefs, it would increase her chances of survival. Swimming without a boat in the deep sea was futile.


She had considered buying a yacht for extra insurance but had to give up due to space constraints. If she had a companion with extra space, it would be a blessing.


Day two.


Ye Nianchu planned to visit the mall to buy clothes. As a tourist on the ship, she needed to maintain her appearance.


Bringing weapons on international voyages was challenging due to security checks, and there was limited space. Bringing kryptonite was risky and carrying hot weapons was restricted.


This game was intense.


She might face problems if she was unable to board the ship and got caught in an investigation. Missing the first day of the cruise would be problematic.


No firearms, but other items could be used as weapons, such as the hairpin on her head.


As she drove past the harbor, a familiar figure caught her eye. He was carrying goods but still exuded an air of coolness and dignity.


The warm golden sun cast a gentle light, and the sea breeze was pleasant. Amid the crowd, he stood out.


Ye Nianchu pulled over, took off her sunglasses, and approached her companion, whom she had been missing.


Noting the presence of others, she smiled and asked, "Why are you here? Another part-time job?"

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
