Chapter 269: Online Dating Scam Record (Thirty-Two)
Guo Guo finally understood why Zhang You hesitated when he mentioned ordering a virtual lover service.
Zhang You should have discovered something at that time, but she was not completely sure and worried that it was a trap; or perhaps she had other plans... In short, now, all these feelings came to her when she saw this customer service message.
...Yeah, why didn't she realize it before?!
She had only seen that familiar tone of voice that could make people angry to death on one person, but this time, the target of the anger was them.
In an instant, countless thoughts rushed through his mind. Guo Guo restrained his divergent thoughts and emotions and replied in the chat box:
[Hello, I'm Guo Guo. I'd like to subscribe to a virtual lover service that can help me avoid school surveillance and enter the teaching building. Is that possible?]
Even with her suspicions, Guo Guo wasn't so excited as to rush over to "recognize" them. After all, she was dealing with a stranger, acting as a "customer service," and whether her suspicions were correct was uncertain. She simply emphasized her name subtly and then immediately got to the point.
Customer Service #1 : Of course, it's a legitimate right for students to enter the teaching building to study. The order has been placed. Enjoy your university life.
With a soft "ding" sound, Guo Guo's vision suddenly blurred.
Thanks to her Yin-Yang vision, she didn't lose sight of the darkness, but instead quickly caught the shift in her vision: another transparent world floated up from the ground, briefly overlapping with the real scene. At the same time, a transparent male figure emerged from that "world" and stepped into the real world, appearing before him.
[…Follow me…]
Inexplicably, this sentence quietly appeared in his mind. Guo Guo followed the position of the boy in his "sight" and walked over as if possessed by a ghost.
Corridors, stairs, first floor lobby——
Neither Anya, who was currently clashing with the school administration, nor the five aggressive school leaders seemed to notice Guo Guo's presence. She quietly walked out of the dormitory building and into the mist.
[…This way…]
The shadow of her "virtual lover" occasionally appeared in the fog, guiding her.
Guo Guo held the pendant and dagger tightly, his attention focused on his surroundings.
There is no doubt that the teaching area is dangerous, but from another perspective, the most dangerous place is also the safest place - even if it is not, it is also the place with the most information and the greatest potential for breakthroughs.
Although the dormitory building seems relatively "safe", it is actually a large cage. Some rules are used to make the candidates and student NPCs kill each other, and then they are all trapped inside from the outside to die. The operation of the copy can be said to be vicious.
In fact, after two days of review, they realized that if there were a hundred possible paths to success in this exam, perhaps gathering everyone's appeal forms on the first day and then opening a different branch path when the school officials arrived on the second day would be the only path that would offer a smooth start. The other ninety-nine paths all led to desperate situations with a high risk of death.
But whether it was the time or information gap, coupled with the fact that Tang Xinjue's disappearance had taken away their attention, it was impossible for them to complete that step on the first day. So that glimmer of hope was actually false, as the copy had already blocked all the roads!
This dungeon is the "trap" that 606 is invited into. From the moment they enter, it is no longer possible to pass the level using normal methods.
As pieces of information flashed through his mind, Guo Guo felt that his mind was calmer than ever before.
The outline of the teaching building gradually emerged from the layers of mist. This time, without disguise, a silver-black towering building stood quietly in the mist.
Despite all the dungeons they'd been through, 606 had never truly seen the entirety of University City. They'd only caught a glimpse of it twice: the recent Transformation Community, and then, long ago, at the end of the "Road Trip Tips" dungeon, when they'd looked back from the highway outside the city and seen three magnificent, towering buildings.
Although it was only a glance, Guo Guo felt that he would never forget the impression left in his mind.
Therefore, when he saw this building again, especially now that he was facing it with incredible clarity, Guo Guo was almost certain that it was not the "First Teaching Building" at all, but one of the three tall buildings in the university town!
Since the copy is so close to the core of the university town, why not go directly into the core to cause trouble... and take a look around?
The shadow of the virtual lover drifted into the teaching building along a narrow door frame, then vanished along with the transparent "inner world." As Guo Guo stepped inside, his vision suddenly returned to normal.
A chilling feeling suddenly came from all directions. She turned her head and saw clearly that after leaving the overlap of the transparent world, the teaching building in its normal state had no doors at all.
Compared with yesterday's evening study session, the layout of the building is obviously very different.
The first-floor lobby had transformed into a vast platform of several hundred square meters, surrounded by white-painted walls. Twelve corridors connected the four sides, each with a black metal plaque engraved above the entrance, inscribed with words Guo Guo couldn't understand.
In the center of the hall is a huge straight staircase. You can see countless stairs crisscrossing and extending upwards, and the highest one has no end in sight.
Guo Guo didn't rush to leave. She used the pendant and her Yin-Yang eyes to sense her surroundings, ultimately choosing a direction with the least sense of danger. Although she couldn't read the writing, based on the length of the symbols and the placement of the door numbers, she knew this was Corridor 7.
Entering the corridor, there were countless doors on both sides. Guo Guo stood on tiptoe and took a peek through the window at the top of one of the doors. His heart skipped a beat:
The classroom behind the door is full of people!
Just when she thought she was about to be discovered, the crowded classroom suddenly became empty again, as if the students had vanished into thin air. She blinked, and after a few seconds of emptiness, she saw figures reappear from the air one by one... or rather, partially reappear.
Some of the "students" who reappeared at this moment had lost their hands, some had lost half of their chest, and some had only their heads floating on the chairs!
Despite being covered in blood, they were still concentrating on the book on the table without making any extra movements.
"bite--"
In the extremely silent space, the only sound came from Guo Guo's own mobile phone.
Customer Service #1: Hello, Mr. Guo. We've detected that you have one remaining subscription. Do you want to order?
Seeing the message, Guo Guo's heart, which had been frightened by the voice, suddenly calmed down. She thought for two seconds, decisively changed her original plan, and replied to the other party:
【yes!】
[Okay, your virtual lovers 1, 2... oh, 3 are online now. Please enjoy your college life. ]
Guo Guo immediately looked up and around, searching for the new boy. But nothing changed, and the transparent world didn't appear. Just as she was about to ask, another message popped up on her phone:
[Virtual Lover 211: Hello, I'm the chat companion you requested, oh no, virtual lover, what's up?]
Guo Guo: “…”
Such a bad tone?
And this name, this chat box... She swiped up the chat history twice. Wait, isn't this the chat companion who cheated her out of a full 128.8 yuan in the background story of the copy, and angrily canceled the order because he was dissatisfied with her installment payment?
She thought about it, then took a screenshot of the previous chat history and sent it over first:
[Isn't it possible that they're deleting me again this time? Then I want to say (picture) (picture)]
【Refund!!】
Virtual lover: "..."
