Host Paradise

Chapter 9 The Garment District of the Mall

【Re-searching the system for you】

[The search is complete, there are three systems willing to bind you this time. 】

1.
"Name: Shixian System"

"Star rating: 1 stars"

"Task: At the beginning of the game, quote an ancient poem and complete the first half of the sentence."

"Reward mode: Mental strength points equal to the sum of the numbers contained in the second half of the sentence (for example, 'sleep until three poles a day', reward 1+3=4 points), the upper limit is 100. If you quote the latter part of the poem If half a sentence does not contain a number, or the sum of the numbers exceeds 100, 10 mental strength points will be rewarded by default."

"Binding duration: 2 dungeons or 1 dungeon and 1 battle."

2.
"Name: Combo Striker System"

"Star rating: 1 stars"

"Task: Choose a target at random, and attack him continuously on the premise that the attack interval is less than 2 seconds, until the opponent dies."

"Reward mode: Attacks that meet the mission conditions will be counted into the number of combos, and the target will be rewarded with physical strength points equal to the maximum number of combos after death."

"Binding duration: 2 dungeons or 1 dungeon and 1 battle."

3.
"Name: Pretentious Face Slapping System"

"Star rating: 1 stars"

"Task: Show off or slap in the face."

"Reward mode: Every time you complete a show-off or slap in the face, this system will perform a performance rating. You will be rewarded with a corresponding number of general strength points based on the rating, 2 points for low-level, 4 points for intermediate, and 8 points for high-level."

"Binding duration: 1 copy."

Three 1 star!
Wang Tianxiao said that he was about to throw up. He was glad to see one more system than last time at first sight, but it turned out to be such a thing.

But soon he was relieved. After all, according to the law of his character, he was out of luck this time, and the best system would definitely appear soon.

Moreover, 1 star has a 60% probability, and it is impossible to encounter the remaining 40 every time.

He didn't plan to use the remaining free re-discovery chance for the time being, so after a hasty glance, he chose the one with the simplest and most rude name-pretending to slap the face system!The time is also short, just use one copy and say goodbye.

After selecting the system, Wang Tianxiao disconnected the nerve connection.

When he came out of the game cabin, the time was only 17:23. It wasn't that he selected the system so quickly that it only took him 1 minute, but that the time in the "Host Paradise" game felt slower than reality, with a ratio of about 4:1.

Wang Tianxiao still can't understand how that game company did this, just like he can't understand why this kind of neural connection game appeared and put into the market in China in 2040.

It can only be said that the world is changing with each passing day, and technology is developing rapidly.

Wang Tianxiao was an ordinary person, and he didn't want to think too much about such complicated things. What he should be concerned about now is that he has to go to work, and the barbecue stall has to be started before six o'clock, otherwise the place may be occupied by others if he goes late.

Thinking of Wang Tianxiao, he took his coat and car keys and went out.
Time passed, and when Wang Tianxiao came back in his van, it was pitch black and there was no one around on the road.

I went upstairs and returned home. I looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 02:30 in the morning. Fortunately, there were not many buddies drinking and bragging today, otherwise they would have been back even later.

Wang Tianxiao was already very tired at first, but after taking a shower, he regained his energy. He still couldn't fall asleep after playing with his mobile phone on the bed. Thinking of the many unexplored options in "Host Paradise", he felt itchy in his heart .

So, he lay down in the game cabin.

After logging into "Host Paradise", Wang Tianxiao did not open the instance, but clicked on the [Mall] option.

Although he only had 100 game coins on hand, it didn't stop him from taking a stroll.

After clicking [Mall], a sub-option appears - [Select Floor].

Seeing that there was only one sub-option, Wang Tianxiao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized - this seemingly unnecessary setting should be to pave the way for the launch of other sub-options in the future.

After clicking [Select Floor], two options appeared for Wang Tianxiao to choose——

[Floor 1: Clothing area]

[Floor 2: props area]

After a little hesitation, Wang Tianxiao decided to go to the clothing section first, although he said yesterday that he doesn't care about wearing the same novice outfit as others.

After choosing the option on the 1st floor, the elevator began to rise slowly, and the elevator door opened within a few seconds.

Walking out, Wang Tianxiao found that there was a circular corridor outside, and there were various stores opened on one side of the wall.

On the other side of the corridor is a fence that appears to be made of glass.

The fence is only half the height of a person, and in the spacious middle of it stands an automatic ascending and descending ladder winding on both sides.

The design of this thing is supposed to take into account that some players like to walk up the stairs when visiting the mall.

After some inspection, Wang Tianxiao felt that the design of this mall was quite similar to a department store in reality. The only difference was that there were no people in this "department store".

After walking around half a circle, it was still the same. Wang Tianxiao wondered if he was playing in a ghost suit.It stands to reason that "Host Paradise" is such a popular and unique game, it is impossible that there is no one in the mall, even if it is early in the morning.
But soon, Wang Tianxiao understood the reason. When he stopped in front of a store and was holding the doorknob to push open the glass door, an interface popped up in front of him in the form of a suspended projection.

There are many small house icons on it, arranged in order of serial number, the left and right arrows in the lower right corner, and the words 1/256 seem to indicate that it can also turn pages.

Wang Tianxiao counted and found that there were 10 small house icons on the page he was looking at now. Some of them were yellow and some were green.

There is also a fraction number behind each small house icon. On the page Wang Tianxiao is looking at now, the words on the back are as small as 2/10 and as large as 7/10.

[Due to the limited space in our store, we have prepared a lot of parallel spaces.Please click to select the Parallel Space channel you want to enter. The color of the icon is red, which means the space is full, yellow, which means it is moderate, and green, which means it is empty. 】

"That's it." Looking at the subtitle prompt in front of him, Wang Tianxiao understood why there was no one in the corridor outside. It turned out that many players who came before had entered the parallel space.

As for why there are no people coming out of the store in the corridor, I think it may be that there is an option to return directly to the landing space in the store.

Wang Tianxiao is used to being quiet, so he doesn't want to enter the parallel space with too many people.

He casually flipped through two pages and found a small green house icon. When he saw the words 1/10 at the back, he clicked directly to enter.

After all, it was early in the morning, and there were far fewer players, but there were still no vacant rooms that no one owned. Firstly, there were many players in this game, and secondly, when there was no one around, everyone would have the mentality of monopolizing the vacant rooms.

Entering this 1/10 space, Wang Tianxiao is not afraid to disturb that person, after all, this is a public area.

[Clothing lottery shop, welcome to visit]

In an instant, Wang Tianxiao had arrived in the shop, behind him was the glass shop door that he was about to push just a moment ago.

He turned around and tried to open it, and a subtitle prompt popped up.

[Do you want to leave? 】

There are three options below, namely [No], [Yes, return to the first floor corridor] and [Yes, return to the landing space].

"Sure enough. But if that's the case, why don't you just create a teleportation button in the login space?" Wang Tianxiao thought.

Returning attention to the store, the walls on both sides are like displaying cultural relics, and many costumes are placed in glass cabinets.

There are many glass cabinets like this inlaid on the walls of this store, and a line of small characters are marked on the upper right corner of them, representing the classification labels of the clothes inside.

Taking the cabinet that Wang Tianxiao is looking at now as an example, the label reads - "Series Name: Series Number: J08, Prize Pool Number: C."

Taking his eyes away from the label, Wang Tianxiao looked at the clothes in the cabinet again——

He nodded thoughtfully, and then came to the counter.
