Throne of Radiance

The performance of those NPCs in the game did not exceed Bai Yi's expectations. Just because of the filthy spirit emanating from their souls, Bai Yi did not believe that they could love each other to the end.

He chooses to submit the task and end this dungeon.

The system that played dead most of the time reappeared.

Lines of distorted and blurred words flickered in front of Bai Yi's eyes.

"Successfully cleared the Nightmare Fragment [Lamb's Counterattack]"

"Dungeon level: ☆"

"Customs Clearance Evaluation: S"

"Points earned: 5"

"Unlock achievement: [Kill 11 people in a row within half a day] [Qingnan High School melon farmer] (description omitted)"

[Explanation: You have completed the basic task with a completion rate of 300%, and on this basis, the task has been upgraded by several levels.The weak lamb is twisted into a man-eating ghost by your excellent play. ]

[Come to play a game? ]

[Explanation: You played with everyone in a crazy way and became everyone's nightmare. ]

[Seven Strange Legends on Campus]

[Explanation: Because of your existence, Qingnan High School has become the prototype of horror novels. Seven strange legends were born here, and will be passed down forever in the copy of nightmare fragments.The ghost of the tragic death cursed day and night with resentment, but it didn't even know who the real culprit was. ]

[Start drawing special rewards. 】

[You get a special drop: nightmare crystal (white) x 10. 】

[You get a special growth card [? ? ? ]]

[Explanation: Since this card has not yet reached its peak and can continue to grow, the current star characteristics are unknown. ]

[Would you choose to keep the copy of the Nightmare Fragment and develop the special growth card in the copy?The system will open a new idle mode for players to speed up the time in the instance. 】

Bai Yi, who was originally lacking in interest, brightened his eyes: "On-hook mode? It seems that your system has finally learned to keep pace with the times!"

He immediately chose to keep the copy.

Regarding the inability to hang up, Bai Yike never stopped complaining.In the gap between each game, his output of yin and yang skills is enough to make anyone unable to resist beating him to death on the spot.

Fortunately, the system is not human.

In general mobile games or PC games, he only needs to sit in front of the screen to control the NPC. Maybe 5 minutes have passed in reality, and the game time has gone for five days.During this period, he can hang up and be in a daze.

But Nightmare Games is less kind in this regard.

Although there is also a huge time flow gap between reality and the nightmare, every minute and every second in the nightmare is actually spent by Bai Yi himself, which means that he can only perform tasks that take a relatively short time.

If a dungeon takes three years to pass, he really has to spend three years in the nightmare dungeon as a character.

——He has always lacked such patience.

Under Bai Yi's expectant eyes, the system froze for a while.

[The on-hook mode is about to start. 】

[In the idle mode, the time in the Nightmare Fragment copy is accelerated.The game characters will continue to grow according to the characteristics given by the players, and the system will deduce their fate line for a period of time in the future until they reach the peak reasonably. 】

[Currently the main traits given to the game character [Xu Dong] by players are: [cunning] [ruthless] [insight] [manipulation] [desire to control] [disguise]]

[Combined with the world view in the Nightmare Fragment copy, the system will deduce the character's next fate line accordingly. 】

[Do you want to turn on the on-hook mode? 】

Bai Yi chose without hesitation: "Of course."

In the next moment, he only felt his soul floating lightly in the sky, watching everything below from a bird's-eye view.

First Qingnan High School, then the nearby streets and neighborhoods, and finally the bird's-eye view of the entire city, all appearing in Bai Yi's sight, the edge of the city is blank.

The whole world is like a jigsaw puzzle that has been broken and reassembled, undergoing dizzying changes.Under the acceleration of time, everything is like the fleeting scenery outside the car window, leaving only a blurred impression on his retina.

Feeling bored, Bai Yi temporarily quit the game.

He floated out of the deep sea dotted with large pieces of star fragments, and the first thing he saw was the gradually sinking night outside the window.

Ink-like black soaked his pupils.

"Cuckoo..."

His stomach protested against him because he had missed dinner because he had been so engrossed in the last week of the game.

Bai Yi stretched out her hand to touch her shriveled stomach, laying on the bed, not wanting to move.

He tried to convince his stomach: "Be quiet, you can do it, be strong for a while..."

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

The reaction from the belly was very disrespectful to him.

"..."

Bai Yi rolled left and right on the bed, and finally got up helplessly: "Okay, okay, I really can't help you. Although I'm not hungry yet, who made you hungry?"

The wall clock on the wall pointed to 7:30 in the evening, Bai Yi walked slowly to the kitchen and started to wash the vegetables.

Fortunately, he had already bought all the dishes for dinner before the last week, otherwise he might not be able to buy any fresh ingredients at this point in time.

If the kitchen knife is alive, it almost dances afterimages on the dining board.

This knife skill is enough to make any bystander have no doubt that a person with such knife skill must be a rare chef—before tasting the meals he made.

Today, the sparrow outside the window learned to be smart, and left Bai Yi's kitchen early, and heavy dark clouds piled up.

The sky was gloomy all day long, and when Bai Yi was immersed in the last week of the game, he happened to miss the short glow that appeared at dusk, and then the sky returned to the dark and gloomy tone.

When they went downstairs to take out the garbage, many residents were walking outside. When they saw Bai Yi, they greeted Bai Yi one after another.

Everyone thought they were very familiar with this young man who had moved to the old town for half a year.

Although he doesn't go out most of the time except for necessary things such as grocery shopping, he seems a bit lonely and eccentric, and difficult to approach; but once he communicates with him, everyone has to like his quiet, easy-going, and good-listening personality.

He is very friendly to everyone and can take jokes. He has never been angry because of anything. Old people like such a "good boy".

Therefore, everyone is keen to chat with this young man who is good at listening, and they are also willing to share gossip with him who rarely goes out, so that he will not fall behind because of lagging news.

No, someone started talking to him just as he went downstairs.

"I haven't seen you for more than half a month. Bai Yi, you look so white again. I really envy you."

The girl who spoke was tall and dressed in a casual summer dress. Her hair was tied into a ponytail protruding from under the baseball cap, and the tail of her hair was curled up on her shoulders. She had a different kind of vitality.

This is the downstairs resident of Baiyi, named Xia Jiajia.A warm and cheerful college student who lives in school dormitory most of the time, allowing Bai Yi to enjoy the quietness to herself.

Based on this alone, Bai Yi is very satisfied with her.

Xia Jiajia was still looking at the young man in front of him and praised him, making a voice of envy that only girls could understand.

This time it was rare to go home on vacation, and it was rare that Bai Yi happened to be going out, so she immediately enthusiastically cut the fresh watermelon in front of her into several pieces, and handed one of them to Bai Yi.

"Come on, eat a melon, I just bought it, it's big and sweet."

"Mmm, it's really sweet~" Bai Yi thanked her, took a bite of the melon, and made a fair evaluation.

"You should have heard about Mr. Gu, right? I never expected such a big thing to happen in the old town after staying in school for more than half a month... Well, this melon is delicious, eat more."

Xia Jiajia began to gossip while eating melons.Facing the handsome face in front of him, the melon in his hand became even sweeter.

After all, who isn't a pretty dog?

She conveniently handed Bai Yi another piece of melon.

Bai Yi rubbed her stomach, chose to refuse, and took over her topic naturally: "Look at your reaction, isn't the car accident over yet?"

"You guessed it!" Xia Jiajia gave a thumbs up, "I just ate fresh melons. It seems that Tian Yin went to the police station to testify not long ago, and there was another commotion in the Gu family. Just 10 minutes ago, Mrs. Gu He had a heart attack and was sent to the hospital, and Mr. Gu doesn't seem to be doing well."

She shook her head and was very puzzled: "What does Mr. Gu's matter have to do with Tian Yin? I really didn't expect Mrs. Gu and the others to be like this! Do you really think that Tian Yinke killed Mr. Gu? I didn't see them before So superstitious!"

It was for this reason that she, who was supposed to sympathize with Teacher Gu's car accident, felt unable to sympathize.

Bai Yi acts as a "melon-eating crowd" next to him.

He knew that even if he didn't speak, Xia Jiajia was very interested in talking.

Sure enough, after reprimanding Mrs. Gu and the others, Xia Jiajia brought the topic to Bai Yi again: "If I remember correctly, your goal of renting a house should be next door to the Gu family, right? That room is almost the environment of the old city. The best thing, if I hadn’t had no money, I would have chosen that place a long time ago. Weren’t you very satisfied at the time? Why did you return it later?”

"—Because I thought there were only two old people there, but I didn't expect that the biggest source of garbage pollution would appear every weekend."

Xia Jiajia was taken aback, and her accent came out: "Ah? What do you mean?"

"Don't you know? Mr. Gu has body odor, every weekend he passes by my door and I will be smoked."

Bai Yi said in a solemn tone.

It was a very absurd thing at first, but his tone and demeanor were so serious that Xia Jiajia really believed his nonsense, and immediately gasped, showing an expression of disbelief, with disgust in his eyes.

"No way? He, he is really so..."

...Suddenly I don't want to eat the melon in my hand.

"Of course... it's a joke! You don't really believe it, do you?"

But Bai Yi retorted, with a smile on his face, with the lively look of a child who succeeded in a prank.

Xia Jiajia made a false alarm, and quickly ate melons to subdue the shock, and couldn't help but complain: "It's so serious, who can't believe it. However, I don't like Teacher Gu very much, and I always feel that his temperament is a bit gloomy..."

While the two were talking, the top of their heads suddenly felt cold.

One drop, two drops, three drops, the raindrops fell.

Bai Yi stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops: "It's raining."

"Ah, it's raining!"

Xia Jiajia exclaimed and hurriedly packed her things.

Bai Yi, who came back to his senses, gave her a hand and moved the tables, chairs and benches she had placed outside into the house.

Then, he rejected Xia Jiajia's warm hospitality and turned to leave.

The illusory cards flickered at his fingertips.

Looking at the young boy's slender back in the rain, Xia Jiajia inexplicably felt a strange feeling, and couldn't help shaking her head:

"Why is there always a premonition that something big is about to happen? Is it because the picture is so beautiful, like the prelude to the opening of the curtain in a blockbuster movie?"
