Is My Boyfriend Still Alive?
The world the Player inhabits is chaotic and disordered.
As time went by, Anomaly emerged one after another, and all sorts of absurd scenes could happen anytime, anywhere. Although the Previous Self vaguely sensed something, out of concern for the other party, the Old Director chose the safest approach.
If the other party can pass the test, then making them a Player to inherit one's mantle would be a good choice. However, if they cannot even pass this test, then becoming Player would only harm them.
From this perspective, the Old Director's intentions were good; it's just a pity that there was a slight problem with the candidates he selected for the test...
Without a doubt, He Zhiqiū is a genius, but geniuses are often eccentric. The so-called "Iceberg Beauty" or even "unapproachable" persona stems from the fact that she simply doesn't know how to communicate with others.
Simply put, she lacks common sense.
... That's how it was before.
Testing a Chosen One Player Qualification is no easy task, because you must make them go through these experiences without their knowledge in order to draw the most complete conclusions.
In most cases, the tester and the test subject develop an inexplicable connection due to the things they experience together, which is why the Old Director chose her as the test subject.
It's understandable for older people to feel this way. After all, someone's appearance is so striking that a spark might fly during the testing process.
Although the Old Director entrusted this task to He Zhiqiū out of some personal reasons, she couldn't even think of how to get close to or get along with the other party, let alone complete the task.
But that's why they say she's a genius, isn't it?
Soon after receiving the commission, He Zhiqiū came up with the Perfect way to complete the task.
If you don't know how to approach the other person, then just find a reasonable excuse to do so... What could be more suitable than a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship?
For this reason, He Zhiqiū went to confess her feelings; her purpose was quite simple.
As for the three dates that followed, they were just tests with different names. Originally, there were more tests than those, but unfortunately, someone ended up in the hospital by tripping over their own head...
However, based solely on those few rather Pass performances in the preceding sections, the final result was already quite predictable.
So after that, she gradually forgot about it, and later, due to other matters, she was transferred to another place, making that kind of thing even less worth mentioning.
In a slightly deserted Sword Dojo in Binhai City caught in Cold Wave.
"You know something happened near Old Xu's place and the library, right?"
Girl with long, slender legs crossed, her snow-white silver hair and pale eyes looking at the black-haired Young Girl in front of her.
The Young Girl appeared to have just returned from the Inner World; her long black robe was slightly torn, and her face showed obvious signs of fatigue.
"Know."
The black-haired Young Girl with neat, shoulder-length short hair nodded calmly.
"That's why they transferred me back. Binhai City needs a Guardian, but I just got back here and this kind of thing suddenly happened."
"What has been will be again; some things are destined and unavoidable. It is a rather brutal struggle for survival."
The Silver-haired Girl shook her head.
"But no matter what, as long as we don't stop, the road ahead will continue to extend... Guarding the dawn in the Hei Ye —this is precisely the original intention behind the founding of the Night Watcher Organization."
"Is there anything else?"
He glanced at the empty Dojo He Zhiqiū responded calmly.
"It's getting late. I need to rest a bit before entering the Inner World again."
Which platform are you on?
Seemingly already accustomed to the other person's personality, the Silver-haired Girl began to speak in a serious tone.
"If possible, let's team up. I'm the best, and you're the strongest. Together, we'll be the strongest."
"The highest -High-Rank platform of S-rank."
He Zhiqiū made no attempt to hide anything.
"If you also choose to enter the Inner World, you can find me there."
"The Highest S-rank... By the way, do you know Bai Zhi?"
As if suddenly remembering something, the silver-haired Young Girl looked up at the other person and asked with a slightly mischievous tone.
"There are some things I need to ask you about."
"... Bai Zhi?"
Seemingly searching her mind for relevant memories, He Zhiqiū tilted her head slightly.
"Well, since I've heard you were his girlfriend before, you should have some impression of him, right?"
Young Girl straightened her body with great enthusiasm, looking as if she was about to grab a Watermelon.
"Tell me your impression of him, so I can make a reference and assessment."
"Is my girlfriend... him?"
After thinking for a moment, He Zhiqiū nodded and calmly stated her statement in the form of a question.
"What? My boyfriend isn't dead yet?"
"???"
"I suddenly felt like someone was cursing me."
Suddenly, Bai Zhi reached out and patted his neck, then stood up from his chair with a serious expression.
"This is a very important matter, and I feel it's essential for me to find out exactly what happened..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, the Loli Qingyi forcefully made him sit down again.
"Wasting food is not a good habit. This is Magic Potion I specially prepared for you, and you must obediently finish it all. As long as you eat it, you will permanently increase your Spiritual Energy limit... Just eat it!! It's not poison!!"
"Um... but I think... your Magic Potion could actually be improved a little..."
Bai Zhi glanced at Mu Qiansè, who had passed away peacefully with Smiling Under the Springs on her face, and his lips twitched involuntarily.
"After all, the environment of our world is different from that of yours, so perhaps these appearances are actually not..."
Before he could finish speaking, the White-haired loli swiftly and decisively threw a dark, gooey object into his mouth.
Bai Zhi: "..."
"The taste... is really good... I hope you can add some... sugar next time..."
With a forced thumbs-up, Bai Zhi tilted his head, and with a soft click, he followed in Mu Qiansè's footsteps.
