The [Planet Flip · Limited Mail Receiving] interface is the most exquisite part of the entire game UI. Like the [Business Simulation] icon, it is incompatible with the warm and simple style of the Frog House. I don’t know what the production team was thinking, spending money on such a weird place.
[Ling Frog·Lights Fading]
The postcards spin around, enticing players to click on them.
The last time Koto Tadpole appeared was still vivid in his mind. He no longer believed that games had moral principles, unless money would fall from the sky for no reason, unless Dazai Osamu would become a normal, mentally healthy and cheerful person, unless Koto Frog would add favorability to other players for no reason just like it would deduct favorability from other players anytime and anywhere.
Hojo Natsuki took a deep breath, prepared himself for seeing the Koto bullfrog, and stretched out his fingertips—
At this moment, a system message suddenly popped up.
[[Qin Frog] Favorability 20]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -30]
Hojo Natsuki: “??!!!”
Huh?? Oh my god! Money is really falling from the sky! Dazai Osamu is going to become a normal person!
Xia Shu couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately used [Stoka] to open the field of vision and follow.
It was raining, and the driverless tricycle was driving steadily on the road. Combined with the atmosphere of night and cold rain, it was obviously a very childlike children's car, but for some reason it gave off an eerie feeling of a hearse.
Qinwa had wounds on his body and his silver hair was stained with blood.
It looked fine not long ago.
He was a little unhappy, and sent a message to Guagua: [How did you get hurt? Who bullied you? ]
The frog covered its side with one paw, and typed a reply with the other paw: [Dead.]
[[Qin Frog] Favorability 2]
[[Qin Frog] Current Favorability -28]
Hojo Natsuki opened the mall and searched for keywords such as "resurrection" and "impure world reincarnation". After searching for several minutes, unfortunately, he found nothing. It turned out that he could not revive that unfortunate creature of unknown species and then kill it.
It seems that the second clause of the game agreement, "Once your GuaGua dies, it cannot be resurrected. Please treat the virtual life as you would a real pet," is true.
Xia Shu continued: [Does it hurt? ]
[Gin]: It doesn’t hurt.
[Natsuki]: It really doesn’t hurt
[Gin]：Yeah.
Hojo Natsuki felt very disappointed when he saw its nonchalant look.
[Natsuki]: If I punch you, you will know the pain. You go out and mess around every day. Do you think I am good enough to take care of you
[Gin]：…
He wanted to teach him a lesson, but suddenly remembered that Qinwa was now an employee of the [Frog Organization], and perhaps this dangerous mission today was assigned by the organization.
What should I do? Should I tell Rum and drain the water
But if the Qin frog is released into the sea specifically, according to the gossip level of ordinary office animals, there will definitely be rumors within the organization. The other frogs will think that it is a pretty boy and point fingers at it. The promotion of the Qin frog will seem unjustified. They will say "What's so great about the Qin frog! It's just a ridiculous little frog. It's just a useless guy who relies on its father!"
Therefore, for the sake of Gua Gua's mental health and reputation within the organization, Hojo Natsuki decided to keep his identity secret for the time being, and wait until Qinwa asked about it before considering whether to admit it.
He manually searched through the chat history again, took screenshots with the date, and saved the two sentences as evidence.
[Natsuki]: I am struggling with one thing, I don’t know whether I should say it or not
[Gin]：Then don’t say it
He didn't do it on purpose. He had asked about it before, but the frog itself didn't want to know.
It seems that hiding the truth is not a good idea, but the frog took the initiative to refuse the opportunity to know the truth. Doesn't it do anything wrong
Anyway, what does this have to do with innocent players
Hojo Natsuki happily convinced himself, uploaded the screenshot to the cloud album, and then switched back to the game.
A red dot appeared on the phone icon of the communication APP, which meant Xiaogua took the initiative to chat with him.
[Gin]: Give me the healing medicine
The system mall does have special medicines, with effects ranging from "healing minor injuries in one second" to "even curing advanced cancer." The prices have been rising. Except for the lack of resurrection pills, the mall's medicine warehouse is quite complete.
But Hojo Natsuki was not prepared to agree.
If you really buy it for the frog, it will definitely go out and cause trouble again, and become dependent on special healing drugs, and will value its own life less and less.
[Natsuki]：There is no such thing
The frog seemed to be skeptical, but not disappointed, and replied with its claws: [Oh]
It has already arrived home, and still asked Fu Gua to take it to a nearby place and then take a detour back. After being together for so long, it has not let down its guard against the driver.
The frog simply treated the wound, wrapped it with plastic wrap, and took a bath. Even though it was injured, the frog's first reaction was not to rest well, but to turn the door handle and open the door of the simulated shooting range.
Waiting for it was the interception pop-up window that Hojo Natsuki had just set up.
[Kind tips]
[Moderate gaming is good for the brain, but addiction to gaming is harmful to the body. Arrange your time wisely and enjoy a wonderful life]
[[Natsuki] has set up health priority mode for you... ]
Qinwa was probably recalling some experiences where he was stopped by anti-addiction devices. He looked extremely speechless, stood in front of the door with his paws folded for a few seconds, and then took out his cell phone.
Hojo Natsuki was leisurely waiting for its questioning and the system's reminder to deduct favorability, but instead he received two unexpected messages.
[Gin]: Give me medicine
[Gin]：I send postcards
Xia Shu: “?!”
The Godfather, Quacka, made an offer (in that tone) that Hojo Natsuki couldn't refuse.
Postcard! This is a fabulous postcard!
Xia Shu thought again, he still had a postcard of [Qinwa·Dim Lights] that he hadn't opened yet, so he didn't need another one.
Moreover, the frog has now joined his organization. In the future, there will be many opportunities to set up traps for it so that it has to send postcards to him. It is a bit of a loss to compromise for a little bit of benefit at the moment.
He responded coldly: [Don’t even think about it]
As an 'ordinary person', Hojo Natsuki grew up in an environment with superpowers. He has seen all kinds of superpowers, some of which are destructive and some are useless. The one that impressed him the most was the healing superpower user, Yosano Akiko.
Yosano's ability [Please Don't Die] can heal a dying person, but the person must be half-dead to be able to heal.
Before he gave up medicine and turned to crime, Chief Mori was just an ordinary doctor who worked for the military while taking private jobs to support his "sons" (Dazai and Natsuki).
Because of her special abilities, Yosano Akiko was recruited into the army when she was just over ten years old and became a military doctor.
Mori Ogai would occasionally tell them about things in the military as a bedtime story or just as a casual chat, and on this day they talked about Yosano Akiko's special abilities.
"… can revive dying people." Xia Shu read it once and suggested very naturally, "In this case, why not create a vanguard team and send them to do missions with high mortality rates. Once they are dying, Yosano will continue to "revive" them. Wouldn't the utilization rate of each unit population be higher?"
Mori Ogai replied readily, "Yes, the military is currently trying to create an 'Undead Army' with Yosano as the core."
Dazai Osamu remained silent and didn't say anything. He blinked his eyes. When he was a child, he was as pretty as a doll, and people couldn't see how scary he was. After listening to them, he smiled sarcastically: "That's too much. You will all be hung on the street lamp."
"No way." The young Xia Shu argued, "Near death, resurrection, and repeating over and over again, isn't this a perpetual motion machine? I will win the Nobel Prize."
Xiao Dazai pretended to be amazed: "So amazing?"
However, the "Undead Army" plan was later cancelled with Yosano's departure.
The frog was not satisfied when its request to buy medicine was rejected, and planned to continue struggling.
.
[Gin]：Why
Hojo Natsuki thought of this and said to Qinwa as a matter of course: "If healing your wounds becomes something that costs nothing, how can you respect your own life?"
He also didn't understand why he had to explain this to a virtual quack. It was just a game, there was no need to be so serious.
Perhaps, he was just refuting his past self by refuting the reputation of Qinwa.
[Natsuki]: If you become dependent on the feeling of not paying the price for the pain, sooner or later, if something unexpected happens, you will be held accountable.
[Natsuki]: You will really die.
Kurosawa Jin leaned back in his chair, tapping the table with his fingertips. He didn't like being lectured, although he had to admit that Natsuki's words made some sense... But he really didn't like being threatened.
Very annoying.
[Natsuki]: What should I do if you die!
Kurosawa Zhen was stunned.
Hojo Natsuki stared at the next sentence in the input box, 'Do you know how much it costs to raise you? You're a spendthrift!' He deleted it again and again, thinking that he couldn't use money to kidnap his son. He hesitated for a moment, still thinking of a more appropriate way to say it, when Qinwa's reply came first.
[Gin]：I understand.
[Gin]: You won’t die.
Like a serious promise and silent comfort.
Hojo Natsuki blinked his eyes, feeling an awkward feeling as if his father's status as the boss was challenged (boss: referring to the boss of the frog organization). A quack son is a quack son. Does Qinwa want to become a juxtaposed father and son with him
That won't work.
But I don’t know what to reply.
I always feel that no matter what I reply, it would be like admitting that I was comforted by Xiaogua, and I would be humble to it for no reason.
Xia Shu couldn't figure it out, so he quit the game and prepared to find something else to distract himself.
He flipped through the books and his eyes fixed on [Doki School ~ Love Like Moonlight], a beautiful girl game produced by the same company as Traveling Frog, which he played for only a few dozen minutes before it was dusted off.
Oh, Kotoko, the Kotoko with long silver hair and ice-green eyes, the Kotoko who would say, "I feel sick just by looking at you," and "I'll kill you if you dare take a step forward!"
Long time no see.
Hojo Natsuki finally remembered Kotoko (? ) who he had briefly put aside, clicked on the icon of [doki school ~ love like moonlight], and prepared to speed through the ending of losing Kotoko's line and then delete the game.
Although I played this game just to find some ideas to improve Frog's favor, a player's virtue is to see things through to the end.
Natsuki loaded the save file. He had already finished the common storyline and entered Kotoko's personal storyline, so he continued to fast-forward the storyline in the same way as before, ignoring the text and only looking at the options.
As usual, I don't think too much when making choices, I just follow my first instinct and choose whatever I want.
Kotoko really lived up to her aloof personality. Her personal storyline didn’t have any heart-touching plots. Instead, it became increasingly weird, step by step, almost to the point of being jaw-dropping…
To be honest, which galgame heroine would take the hero and his little brother to fly a helicopter to shoot at Tokyo Tower!!!
Isn't this a bishoujo game with a campus background?! What kind of campus background is it to shoot down Tokyo Tower with a helicopter? Is there anything wrong with the heroine
After shooting at Tokyo Tower, Kotoko's favorability reached 80, and she finally unlocked the first CG.
When the CG unfolded, Hojo Natsuki was completely stunned.
In the illustration, Kotoko’s beauty is so androgynous that it’s hard to tell... but in this CG, she’s clearly a man!
He's a young man!
What kind of "Kotoko" is this? ! It must be an act!!
Then, the system mercilessly made a "ding" sound, and cheerful fireworks appeared around the screen. In the middle, a line of text was shocking: [Congratulations on unlocking [Kotoko's Secret]! Kotoko is not Kotoko, but actually Koto-ge! ]
The system then gave an explanation: [The organization issued a secret mission codenamed U. In order to execute the mission perfectly, he disguised himself as... ]
ah
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
Hojo Natsuki: “…”
He no longer wanted to watch the plot unfold, so he turned off the game, sat upright, took a deep breath, and calmed down for a while. Gradually, his expression changed from the coldness of wanting to kill someone to the tranquility and peace of a sad frog holding a lotus.
Hojo Natsuki felt as if he had been hit by one rain and wind after another, and his entire state of mind was sublimated in these few short minutes.
Without the music in your mind, you will be able to draw the sword naturally.
His heart had become as cold as the fish that had been slaughtered in RT-Mart for ten years.
The heroine of the bishoujo game is a man. Even with such a bizarre situation, is there anything else that can severely injure him? Impossible.
Hojo Natsuki returned to the Traveling Frog and found [Planet Reversal·Limited Receiving].
Then, he calmly clicked on the photo that he had hesitated for a long time whether to check - [Qinwa·Dim Lights].
"Nothing can hurt me anymore," he thought.
At the very least, Qinwa is originally a boy.
