I Remembered Running Under the Sunset That Day-That Was My Lost Youth
Because of the Campaign Quest, Bai Zhi unusually overslept. (https://www. hetushu. com. cn)
When he got up, it was already bright outside, and a layer of White Mist had covered the windows. A cool atmosphere filled the room, and a thin layer of white White Mist rose outside the window.
"Is it foggy...?"
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Bai Zhi got up and went to the window.
Although the main location of this Campaign Quest is the Inner World, the rules clearly state that damage and destruction caused in the Inner World will have some impact on the Real World.
As for what this so-called "certain degree of influence" is, although he doesn't have a definite comparison point yet, it's foreseeable that in the next month, Binhai City will become as bustling as Fuyuki City during the Holy Grail War.
When Bai Zhi arrived in the living room, Mu Qiansè and Qingyi were already up and sitting at the dining table, where three bowls of steaming noodles were laid out.
It seems they get along quite well...
With this thought in mind, Bai Zhi happily sat down at the table in the empty seat that had been reserved for him.
On a chilly morning, what a delightful thing it would be to have a bowl of steaming hot noodles... That's why having a Chef who can cook really well is essential in a team.
"You guys eat first, no need to wait for me. We can discuss the Campaign Quest after we finish eating."
Sitting down at the table, Bai Zhi smiled and began to speak as he noticed the two people who had both turned their gazes to him. He then eagerly picked up his Chopsticks.
He stayed up very late last night because he had to process some more things, and now he is starving.
"Well..."
Watching someone's actions, Mu Qiansè looked hesitant, but under the gaze of the White-haired loli sitting opposite her, she finally lowered her head silently and began to eat her noodles.
Because Bai Zhi was thinking about other things, he didn't notice the little interaction between the two people on the table, nor did he realize that when he picked up his Chopsticks, the White-haired loli's gaze kept glancing in his direction. When she saw him reach for his Chopsticks, she looked at him several more times, her eyes full of anticipation.
In the gaze of a certain little girl, Bai Zhi picked up a mouthful of noodles with his Chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed.
Bai Zhi only chewed once, and his expression suddenly became quite strange, as if a time-freezing spell had been pressed. He froze on the spot, his eyes rolling back.
... For specific details, you can refer to the scene where Teacher Zeng was eating a wasabi burger.
After a long while, under the expectant gaze of the Loli Qingyi, Bai Zhi finally made his next move. He stretched his neck with a pained expression, and with a great deal of effort, he swallowed the noodles in his mouth.
"... Are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"
After gulping down a large cup of tea, Bai Zhi turned to look at the Young Girl was silently eating noodles with her head down, whom he saw as someone who looked like she had done something wrong. Bai Zhi's lips twitched.
Just that one bite of noodles transported his taste buds to a whole new world, almost killing him. He even saw his life flash before his eyes...
... This is not food that a normal person could make; calling it Killer Cuisine would be an understatement.
"Um... how does this bowl of noodles taste?"
Mustering her courage, the Young Girl raised her head and looked at the person next to her with an expression that said life was not worth living. She spoke weakly.
"I understand that you have a problem with me, but is it really necessary to go to such extremes? Besides, how did you, a mere human, manage to make noodles that no human could possibly make?"
Bai Zhi leaned back in his chair, his head tilted back with a melancholy expression.
"I just saw my deceased grandfather waving to me from the other side of the river. I also saw my lost youth. Those youthful days flashed before my eyes like a revolving lantern. I remembered running in the sunset that day; that was my lost youth..."
"... I'll get you another bowl!"
After hastily uttering those words, Mu Qiansè grabbed his bowl and ran towards the kitchen as if fleeing.
Bai Zhi: "..."
The Loli Qingyi next to her lowered her head and ate her noodles silently, without saying a word.
Mmm, noodles, these noodles are really delicious...
"Every so often, the system will issue a Mandatory Quest. The difficulty of these Mandatory Quest will gradually increase as the Player's Level and strength improve."
In the living room with the air conditioning and heating on, the two people and the little girl sat together around Sofa Sofa.
"Compared to Campaign Quest, Mandatory Quest are the most difficult, but if you participate in this Campaign Quest, you won't need to worry about Mandatory Quest for at least the next month. So, whether from the perspective of rewards or safety, participating in Campaign Quest is the best choice."
"Hmm... but wouldn't that create some vulnerabilities?"
After thinking for a moment, the Night Owl raised his question.
"For example, choosing to participate in this mission, but not choosing to enter the Inner World at all..."
After the last mission, Night Owl had undoubtedly changed a lot, something Bai Zhi could clearly sense, since the other party had started to actively think and ask questions...
"Therefore, based on my speculation, there must be some kind of limitation in the so-called Inner World."
Bai Zhi glanced at the Young Girl in front of him with a look of satisfaction, as if he had raised the child himself, and nodded.
"For example, after Player registers and gains access to the Inner World, they shouldn't be able to switch back and forth between the two worlds at will. They need to meet certain conditions to exit the Inner World... such as successfully Walkthrough a Dungeon. That's why I told you yesterday not to rush and to wait until today to discuss it."
"Uh... Shall we enter the Inner World now?"
Night Owl glanced at the little girl who looked inexplicably unhappy, and asked Bai Zhi a question.
"It's best if she doesn't go in now, after all, who knows what unknown dangers might be inside... Let's wait until we've investigated the situation inside before making a decision."
After giving a brief explanation, Bai Zhi brought up the System Interface and immediately registered.
Then, one message after another refreshed in front of him.
