Out of habit, Qi Le people still went to Chen Baiqi to buy some information about the holy city. Unfortunately, Chen Baiqi didn't have any detailed inside information. There was only an old map of the holy city decades ago for Qi Le people. After paying for it, Chen Baiqi reserved the mission information "Saint Nun's Dream" from him, and sold it to her when he returned from the mission.
Qi Leren also asked her if she was interested in this task. Although the number of people in the task was full, if Chen Baiqi was willing to join, he could consider persuading Dr. Lu to quit and let him live safely in the clinic.
Chen Baiqi gave him an inscrutable look: "I can survive in this world for eight years because of a principle."
"What principle?" Qi Leren asked.
"Until it is a last resort, I will never die easily." Chen Baiqi said.
"… "
"This kind of quest involving the invasion of demons more than 20 years ago is either epic-level difficulty, or a chain task that has gone through ninety-nine-eighty-one hardships and finally becomes epic-level difficulty. In short, it won't be easy. I won't be surprised when I enter the holy city and see the demons all over the city, please ask yourself for more blessings, but don't let me sweep your grave." Chen Baiqi patted Qi Leren on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Hey, don't make a FLAG for me casually." Qi Leren said depressedly.
"You should hold Su He's thigh tightly. He may have props on him to force him to leave the mission. If he can't handle the difficulty, he will never die. After all, it's a long way to go in Japan. It's a pity that you are poor, otherwise I can sell some high-quality products. The props are given to you, and now I can only sell you a little cheap miniature bombs, I really can’t make a lot of money, tsk.” Although Qi Leren earned a lot of survival days, in Chen Baiqi’s view, he is still a poor ghost. There is really no way to blackmail well before fattening.
Qi Leren, who obediently bought the necessities for the mission, went home depressed.
The first month of mandatory tasks has arrived. In the first month, the Qi Le people performed two missions, Sacrifice the Witch and the Castle Horror, one was the main world mission and the other was the dungeon world mission. During the execution of the mission, the remaining days of survival of the player will not be consumed, but it is still counted in the the player's survival time.
Each mandatory task can be postponed for a week. If it is not started after the deadline, it will be forced into the task world. If the player performs a quest that lasts for two months, he must complete a mandatory quest within a week of the end of the quest, and then another mandatory quest within a week.
Players in Nightmare World hate the "monthly test", because the monthly test has almost no quest rewards (unless the degree of completion is extremely high), and the difficulty increases every month. In the third year, those players who have no qualifications and neglect to improve themselves start to have Dismissed and eliminated in the cruel monthly exam with no chance to make up the exam.
Qi Leren is not worried about his own strength. Ning Zhou said that his skill card and his own strength are enough to cope with the mandatory tasks for the first three years. It is only because he frequently encounters unusually difficult tasks that he is often embarrassed.
On the other hand, Dr. Lu, with a frightened expression on his face, for fear that he would not be able to pass the first monthly exam, ran to Qi Le's house to start the task together. Although the first mandatory task was mostly a solo task, the two of them couldn't get together if they started together. Go, but it makes Dr. Lu feel a little bit more secure.
but…
"You, you, you, hello!" After seeing Ning Zhou standing by the window, Dr. Lu suddenly remembered that Su He had talked about a friend in Qi Le's house last time.
The moment Qi Leren opened the door, he wanted to slam the door on Dr. Lu's face, but he thought about how Ning Zhou and Dr. Lu would meet sooner or later.
"Doctor Lu, this is Ning Zhou. We will join the mission of 'Saint Nun's Dream' together. Ning Zhou, this is Dr. Lu, whose real name is Lu Cangshu. He is a friend from the same novice village as me, and can treat." Qi Le Ren briefly introduced the two of them.
The big black bird parked on the sofa clucked unhappily, forcing Qi Leren to introduce it to Dr. Lu before giving up.
Dr. Lu opened his mouth, looked at the person from head to toe, pulled Qi Leren to his ear and asked, "Your goddess?"
Can you not be so sharp at this time? Qi Leren complained in his heart and nodded honestly.
So Doctor Lu put on a strange smile, sat down awkwardly, and looked at Ning Zhou and Qi Leren hard, as if he knew everything. Qi Leren felt that with his brain supplementation ability, he couldn't explain it even with a hundred mouths.
Poor Ning Zhou didn't even know that he had been forcibly married to him.
As soon as Ning Zhou left, Dr. Lu tried hard to suppress the excitement of getting the gossip, and forcefully said to Qi Leren seriously: "I don't discriminate against homosexuals, really, I have seen a lot as a doctor, and there are a few small bases. The guy comes to the anorectal department every day to find my senior brother for a digital examination. His technique is not picky, he needs to take the prostatic fluid in 30 seconds to get it done..."
"...You misunderstood, we are not in that kind of relationship."
Dr. Lu had an expression like "Excuse me, you are all living together".
"Ning Zhou is just here to help me train. The training menu he gave you last time was ordered by him." Qi Leren explained.
"So that's the case..." Doctor Lu suddenly realized, then squinted at him and asked without a smile, "Do you think I would believe this kind of nonsense? Didn't you all die as soon as the mission was over? Why did you become him now? Kindly trained you? You suddenly disappeared a while ago, and I couldn’t find you all over the world. As expected, I figured out how to let go of myself and chase after your goddess? Pure straight male friendship, hehe."
Qi Leren was speechless.
Although it is normal for two men to live together, Qi Le people believe that Ning Zhou didn't think much about it, but in front of Dr. Lu, who knew the summary of the previous relationship, it was unconvincing... After all, the two fell in love at first sight more than half a month ago. Vigorously die and come to life... and then see the light to die. As a result, they lived under the same roof in less than half a month, and this development seems not quite right...
But Qi Leren couldn't explain the undercover mission of the Killing Secret Society to Dr. Lu—although he felt that after the explanation, Dr. Lu would only be more convinced that they were not innocent. Even Qi Leren himself began to doubt that there was a relationship between him and Ning Zhou. Isn't there really something wrong
Qi Leren asked himself, if he met Ning Zhou who was a woman, would he fall in love with her? The answer is: he will. As a woman, Ning Zhou perfectly fits all his expectations for the other half. Whenever and wherever, as long as he meets her, he will definitely fall in love with her.
But if he changed gender and met Ning Zhou who was a man, would he still fall in love with him
Qi Le people feel that the answer is probably no.
He may worship him, yearn for him, want to be friends with him and even life and death, but he will not fall in love with him, because he will not consider the possibility of exceeding the limit of friends. Ning Zhou will only be better than him. more stubborn. Even if they go through hardships and live and die together, they may have a deeper friendship and even a family relationship than love, but it will never turn into love.
Feelings are so simple and so complicated, neither one is more profound than the other, just a little wrong, and everything changes.
"Although something went wrong at the beginning, the misunderstanding has now been resolved. I think we will become good friends, very good friends." Qi Leren said, he spoke very slowly, maybe even himself He was a little confused, but he still said that, inexplicably firm.
Dr. Lu looked at him indifferently for a long time: "...Oh."
"It's almost time, let's start the compulsory task." Qi Leren shook off his distracting thoughts and concentrated on dealing with the difficulties in front of him.
Open the system menu bar, select the mandatory task of this month, Qi Le and Dr. Lu disappeared in the room one after another.
Yuying, who was parked on the sofa, flapped its wings and flew up the stairs to return to the owner. Ning Zhou, who was standing at the entrance of the stairs, stretched out his arm to let it settle. Yu Ying rubbed Ning Zhou's side face affectionately, feeling the master's mood at this moment, he was acting very well-behaved.
The two people in the living room had disappeared. Ning Zhou wanted to go downstairs to help them pour some water, but he happened to hear Qi Le and Dr. Lu talking about him, so he had to stop at the stairs.
friend…
This should be the most appropriate distance.
