Player Daily Life: Xiaoyun Chapter

"Crack!" A familiar sound of a lock being opened echoed, causing the three occupants of the dormitory to twitch, thinking: Time to eat!

The school had been locked down for three days now. Without internet access, the girls could only gossip to pass the time. However, Guo Xiaoyun clearly wasn't participating in their boring activities.

They had noticed Guo Xiaoyun's odd behavior. For the past two days, she had been claiming to play games despite the power outage the first day and the lack of internet the next. She stayed locked inside all day, only emerging at mealtimes, not even going to the bathroom!

If she didn't show up for meals, her roommates would have suspected she had ascended to immortality.

Moreover, she timed her meal breaks perfectly. Shortly after she came out, soldiers would arrive to urge them to eat.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a soldier's knock came from outside the door: "Time to eat."

The girls quickly got up, tidied themselves, and stood obediently at the door. The soldiers only reminded them once; if you missed it, you missed the meal.

On the first day, they had deliberately ignored the call, resulting in them not eating anything that day, forced to watch Guo Xiaoyun return with a bulging belly, filled with envy.

Since then, the young ladies dared not act up again, obediently going out to eat on time, always appearing extremely eager. Coupled with Guo Xiaoyun's human alarm clock-like punctuality, they would automatically gather at the door almost every time they heard Xiaoyun unlocking the door.

The group quickly arrived at the cafeteria under the escort of soldiers and were assigned to a four-person table.

During the school lockdown, students were only allowed to leave their dorms at mealtimes, escorted by soldiers. They entered the cafeteria in an orderly fashion and were forced to share a table with their roommates, unable to sit wherever they pleased.

The purpose of this was clear: if someone was infected with the virus, this arrangement would minimize its spread, infecting at most the people in one dormitory.

At the table, Guo Xiaoyun devoured her food as usual, her eating habits appalling, drawing stares from those around her.

Her roommates were speechless. How could such a quiet girl change so much after a little stimulation? Eating like she was racing against death, was it really necessary?

If that was all, it would be fine, but now she stared blankly at them after every meal, her eyes terrifying, even more frightening than Sadako's dead fish eyes in a 5D movie, scaring them so much in broad daylight that they almost couldn't hold their chopsticks!

"I say... can you not do that?" Ya Nan, the roommate with short hair, couldn't help but cover her head.

Xiaoyun remained expressionless, still staring blankly at them: "Can you guys eat faster? I still need to go back to the game to do quests."

Due to the limited manpower of the military, the rule was to escort each dormitory back collectively. If her roommates didn't finish eating, Xiaoyun couldn't leave alone, which was why she gave her roommates a death stare after finishing her meal.

Bang! Ya Nan slammed her chopsticks down, clearly reaching her breaking point.

Seeing this, Wen Shanshan quickly put down her chopsticks and, before Ya Nan could explode, advised: "Xiaoyun, you should eat slower, eating so fast is bad for your health."

Guo Xiaoyun remained unmoved, continuing to say expressionlessly: "Game, do quest, time urgent."

"What game?" Xin Ya couldn't help but put down her chopsticks, frowning: "The school's internet is down, what game are you playing?"

The outside world had been in an uproar these past two days since the school was locked down. Many media outlets were closely watching the situation. The school wouldn't dare let students go online and say anything, so they directly cut off the internet. Fortunately, they weren't crazy enough to cut off the electricity as well.

Guo Xiaoyun looked up and replied: "Single-player game."

"What single-player game? Is it fun?" Wen Shanshan asked curiously. She had also been feeling bored these past two days. The girls only gossiped, and after gossiping too much, it became uninteresting. Maybe playing games like Xiaoyun would be a good choice.

"Fun..."

"What's it called?"

Xiaoyun: "The Empress's Three Thousand Male Lovers!"

The girls: "..."

Wen Shanshan immediately covered her face: "Xiaoyun, you should play less of these kinds of games, it's easy to become a fujoshi."

Xin Ya also chimed in, "Exactly, besides, you can play that kind of game anytime. Do you have to be so rushed when eating? Are you that hungry and thirsty?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Shanshan immediately frowned, feeling that her senior's words were out of line.

Guo Xiaoyun raised her head and glared at the other woman coldly. Xin Ya, feeling flustered by the stare, retorted angrily, "What? Isn't it true? It's always like this, making us not even eat properly. These past few days have been bad enough already..."

"Weren't these bad days brought on by certain people themselves?" Guo Xiaoyun interrupted coldly. "Senior, your complexion has recovered quite well these past two days. You even dare to shout so loudly to attract attention. Do you think there's nothing wrong with your body?"

Xin Ya choked, glaring fiercely at the other woman, but didn't continue arguing.

Guo Xiaoyun felt increasingly disgusted by her appearance. She really didn't want to inject the Antidote Serum into her, but there was no other way. She couldn't just watch her two other roommates die with her, could she?

Moreover, if the entire dormitory was infected with the virus except for her, she would definitely be taken away for research. Naturally, she couldn't let that happen. So, the day before yesterday, in the middle of the night, she had to sneak into the other three's rooms and inject them with the antidote.

Although she had solved the school's virus problem, she couldn't lift the school's lockdown. After all, to prevent the virus from leaking, the higher-ups would definitely impose a lockdown for a period of time, and she couldn't openly tell them that the virus had already been resolved.

This wasn't really a problem. Anyway, she usually stayed at home playing games and didn't go out. The only troublesome thing was this mandatory meal time.

In fact, after learning the real inside story of this game, she knew that it didn't matter if she stayed inside every day. Because that side was originally real, she could completely rest and eat there, and didn't need to waste time in the cafeteria like this.

Moreover, as a top student, she was instantly attracted after being exposed to the new knowledge taught by those NPCs. Every day, she immersed herself in the new ocean of knowledge, unable to extricate herself, wishing she could absorb those new knowledge every minute and every second, and didn't want to waste even a second on the cafeteria's unpalatable food.

But she couldn't not come out, otherwise, not eating for a few days would definitely arouse suspicion from the people around her. It would be troublesome if the soldiers forcibly entered her room and found her missing. That's why she ate so ravenously, just wanting to return to the Base as soon as possible and continue her journey in the ocean of knowledge.

These past few days, because she had performed exceptionally well in several courses, several instructors were amazed. Lord Xi Ye decided to open Arcane courses to her.

Originally, she wanted to be a Mecha Warrior, and she resisted becoming a Magic Master. However, when Arcane knowledge was placed in front of her, she inadvertently glanced at it a few times and then held that Arcane Basic Grimoire all the time.

Now, she was taking five basic courses plus an Arcane Specialization, but she still learned effortlessly, and immediately felt that the Developer bloodline was too suitable for her!

Now she didn't envy those brick-moving strongmen at all. Sure enough... studying was more interesting.

Due to her outstanding learning ability, Lord Xi Ye finally completely decided that she would be the commander-in-chief of this large-scale anti-virus cooperation mission.

The mission was scheduled for sixteen days later. Thinking of the mission, Guo Xiaoyun was a little worried. She didn't know how long the lockdown here would last. If it wasn't lifted after half a month, it would be very inconvenient for her to operate.

After all, this mission was not just about stopping the virus!
