Gu Jiu did not move into Yao Yunjia's house.
Yao Yunjia also knew the consequences of rashly bringing a beautiful girl home - even if this was a beautiful girl older than him, parents' imaginations were no worse than those of young people.
He took Gu Jiu to a nearby five-star hotel and booked a room for her using his ID card.
"Sister Gu, this is a better hotel nearby. If you are not satisfied, I can find a better one." Yao Yunjia said flatteringly, "In fact, my family runs a chain of hotels. If you want to stay in one of my hotels, that's fine. I can reserve a presidential suite for you."
"Need not."
Gu Jiu took a look at the hotel room and sat down on the sofa.
Yao Yunjia stood in front of her, with his hands on his knees, looking extremely well-behaved.
Gu Jiu ignored him. She turned on the laptop provided by the hotel and checked the information about this world.
This is a planet similar to the Blue Star, where human civilization has just developed into a technological modern society.
Ten years ago, many space cracks suddenly appeared all over the world, and all kinds of terrible monsters ran out from the space cracks. These monsters not only brought irresistible fear to humans, but also attacked humans and fed on them.
The entire planet has become a hunting ground for monsters.
These monsters are also called fear creatures because they can bring fear to humans.
Whenever terrifying creatures appear, humans will feel a sense of fear from the bottom of their hearts and be eaten or killed by those monsters in fear.
In the struggle between humans and fear-inducing creatures, humans discovered that some people can overcome the instinctive fear brought by fear-inducing creatures, and even use this fear to kill them.
These humans are called hunter-warriors—warriors who specialize in hunting down horrible creatures.
Hunter-warriors are the main fighting force of all mankind against fear creatures. Whenever fear creatures appear from space cracks, hunter-warriors need to rush to the scene as soon as possible, face the fear creatures that appear from space cracks, and kill the fear creatures or drive them back to space cracks.
Over time, hunter warriors who fought the terrifying creatures head-on became heroes of mankind.
It has been ten years since hunter-warriors appeared. Various countries have established relatively complete hunter-warrior systems and treaties to bring hunter-warriors together and grant them formal identities.
After Gu Jiu roughly browsed through the information of this world, he fell into deep thought.
The current situation is very clear. Humans and fear creatures are in opposition, but players have to upgrade and fight monsters to become the Lord of Fear, which obviously means they are in the same camp as the fear creatures.
From the information on the virtual panel, it can be seen that the truth of this world is far from what can be found on the computer, and there must be things hidden that ordinary people cannot know.
Look at the “Current Ranking” again. What are the competitors for the ranking
Apart from the players, are they normal humans, or... some terrifying creatures
Is this a certain existence using a planet as a playground to play a fear game that concerns the fate of all human beings
The main system never lets players stand against intelligent races, and it should not let players stand against all human beings. So it is intriguing that players actually become a member of the competition for the "Lord of Terror".
Could it be that the player is asked to infiltrate the enemy first
There are too few clues at the moment, and Gu Jiu cannot be sure whether his guess is correct. He can only wait and see when he meets other players.
Since she entered the game world, she still hasn't met a second player. It seems that the other players must be far away. This reminds her of what Huo Ting once said, that A-level players value personal strength more and fight alone, unlike low-level fields that need to form a group.
Then, Gu Jiu continued to browse the Internet for a while, found a forum that did not require real-name registration, and posted a missing person message anonymously.
Regardless of whether the player is in the game world or in the real world, except for the transfer function, all other functions of the player panel are unavailable. It is impossible to contact the lost players.
It all depends on whether Huo Ting or Lu Ji sees her message and comes to her.
Of course, if they have information, she can go and find them.
After doing all this, Gu Jiu looked at the young man opposite him.
Yao Yunjia had been silently watching her looking for some information on the computer without making any noise to disturb her. After she finished, she finally looked at him. He subconsciously sat up straight and looked at her nervously.
Gu Jiu said: "You want to become a hunter warrior?"
"Yes!" Yao Yunjia nodded, "I don't want to have to wait for rescue every time those monsters attack. I also want to save them..." He showed pain and loss on his face, "My grandpa, grandma and friends all died in monster attacks. I don't want to see my relatives and friends get into trouble again."
"Since you are so determined, why don't you learn it yourself?"
Gu Jiu asked, remembering today in the scenic area, when the Aqila three-headed bird appeared, everyone else collapsed to the ground, unable to control the fear in their hearts. Only Yao Yunjia was not greatly affected.
This shows that Yao Yunjia has the potential to become a hunter warrior.
Yao Yunjia smiled bitterly and said, "My parents didn't want me to go to school. They were worried that I would end up like my grandpa and his family..."
Gu Jiu understood what he meant. Yao's parents were afraid that their son would become a hunter-warrior and face terrifying creatures, which would cause him to die faster than an ordinary person. It would be better for him to hide under the protection of the country.
"Since your parents don't want me to teach you, won't that make them feel bad about me?"
"No!" Yao Yunjia said quickly, "I can learn secretly... It's summer vacation now, and my parents are busy with company matters, so they won't find out."
Gu Jiu still didn't agree, "I'm very busy and don't have time to teach you. If you are interested, you can find other warrior hunters to teach you."
She is not from this world, but a player who comes here to complete a mission. It is not appropriate for her to get too close to people in the game world.
Yao Yunjia was very disappointed, but he did not give up.
For some reason, when he saw Gu Jiu decisively kill the three-headed bird, he determined that her strength was the strongest, stronger than many hunter warriors. If he could learn from her, he would definitely become a powerful hunter warrior.
At least you don't have to pray for help desperately every time danger comes.
After Yao Yunjia left, Gu Jiu continued to surf the Internet with his laptop and finally contacted Huo Ting.
The two of them used a set of military codes from the real world to communicate, which did not exist in this world, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
Huo Ting told her that he was now in a small city in the south and had obtained a legal identity. However, since they were all competitors of the "Lord of Fear", he decided to stay put and find out what the "Lord of Fear" was like before making any plans.
So he won't come to see her for the time being.
Gu Jiu naturally had no objection, as long as Huo Ting's situation was confirmed.
Compared to Huo Ting who got a legal identity in just one day, she was indeed far behind him, and she hadn't even gotten her legal identity yet. She wasn't surprised at his speed, because with the special training Huo Ting received in the real world, it was easy for him to solve the identity problem.
After contacting Huo Ting, Gu Jiu continued to browse the Internet until late at night, but there was still no news from Lu Ji.
She sighed, turned off the computer and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a feeling of fear arose spontaneously. Gu Jiu opened his eyes instantly, suppressed the primitive fear in his heart, and swung the sword in his hand.
"Ajiu, it's me."
Lu Ji's voice rang out in the dark night. Gu Jiu's sword was just across his neck. If it moved a little further, it would cut the artery in his neck.
The person kneeling on the bed narrowed his eyes and looked around in the darkness for the person who appeared in the room.
After a while, she put down the sword in her hand, stretched out her hand and pulled the person beside the bed to her front, "What is your current identity?"
Lu Ji said nothing.
"The Lord of Terror?"
“… Not really.”
"Fear creatures?"
"… "
Gu Jiu turned on the bedside lamp and looked at the man sitting there quietly.
Her long black hair was loose, and she was wearing a black robe with a dark golden belt around her waist. Her slender and strong figure actually revealed a rare bit of elegance and charm. Her face was still pale, but in the paleness there was a different kind of radiant color. She sat there quietly, and when she stared at me, there was a kind of thrilling fear and amazement.
My boyfriend is still my boyfriend, but it seems like there is something more.
Gu Jiu recalled the primitive fear that had permeated his heart before, and had some guesses about his identity.
She reached out and touched the gorgeous rose-red at the corner of his eye. "Are you still a player now?"
"I can disguise myself as a player, but..." He hesitated, "I can't completely block out the fear that arises in humans."
The fear that fear creatures bring to humans is very strong, and this fear is also the source of the power of fear creatures, so it is difficult to block.
Gu Jiu wanted to touch his forehead, "Is this the power you once abandoned?"
Lu Ji hummed and said aggrievedly: "I didn't expect that this world also has it, and it even ran away to become a fear creature and wanted to become the Lord of Fear... Jiu, this is not my fault, I am a peace-loving person."
Gu Jiu looked at him speechlessly.
He leaned his face against her shoulder and continued to say aggrievedly: "I just came in and appeared next to it. It bumped into my hand... So now I have to take its place. Jiu, I also want to do the mission with you, not become one of the bosses pushed down by the players."
Gu Jiu understood what he meant, "There are several more bosses?"
Lu Ji nodded and didn't say much. Anyway, with her intelligence, she would know it soon.
Sure enough, Gu Jiu did not ask. If she had to find out everything from her boyfriend, what fun would that be? She preferred the process of decryption.
