Phi-Fic Chapter 527 Fatal Game 1
Chapter 527 Fatal Game 1
Zhong Ning opened her eyes and found herself standing at the entrance of a shopping mall, holding a bag in her hand.
The weather outside was hot, and she could feel the heat constantly hitting her as she stood there. The air was stuffy and stagnant, as if it were steaming her.
For now, we don't know the situation of this body or what world we've entered. Zhong Ning can only find a place to receive the memories.
So she turned around and went back into the mall, sat down in a massage chair, and found several other people sitting next to her looking at their phones.
Zhong Ning closed her eyes, pretending to rest: "Xiao Qi!"
"A host has arrived."
This time, we've entered the world of the TV series "Fatal Game".
The story mainly revolves around Ling Jiushi, a VR game designer who accidentally enters a dangerous game world consisting of 12 doors called the Spirit Realm.
The story revolves around his marriage to NPC Ruan Lanzhu and other friends he met along the way, and the uncovering of the truth behind the game.
An Ruoyu, the original owner of Zhong Ning's body, was a background character and cannon fodder who was not mentioned in the story.
She accidentally entered the Spirit Realm game and died before even passing through a single door.
The original owner was an orphan without parents. Two years ago, she graduated from the best university in the country through her own efforts.
After graduation, she had a stable job with room for advancement, and an income that was much higher than that of ordinary people her age.
If she hadn't lost her life in the game, she would have had a bright future.
An Ruoyu opened her eyes and first opened her phone app to call a ride-hailing service.
While waiting, she finally asked, "Xiao Qi, are there any side quests?"
Xiao Qi: "Some hosts have two side quests in this world."
"Tell me?"
Xiao Qi explained, "The first one is the original owner's obsession; she hoped to live a good life."
"That's fine, what's the next one?"
"There's one more thing. The host must first choose a faction and then make amends for their grievances."
Let me elaborate.
Xiao Qi: "The two camps are the good guys and the bad guys. Do you know who these people are, host?"
An Ruoyu replied with a blank expression, "Of course, you can continue."
"So, host, would you choose the villain or the hero?"
"The villains in this world are all ruthless and harmful, they are not good. I don't want to make up for any grievances they might have. Of course, I'll choose the good guys."
Xiao Qi: "Okay, host. The righteous side's biggest regrets are the deaths of Li Dongyuan, Tan Zaozao, and Cheng Qianli, as well as the sacrifice of Ruan Lanzhu."
"Does that mean I saved them?"
"Yes, what do you think, host?"
An Ruoyu looked at the driver's route on her phone, not very interested: "It's just so-so, it sounds troublesome."
Xiao Qi and her lack of interest formed a stark contrast:
"Host, I can already tell that these two side quests have a lot of points. The points for the original owner's obsession were originally high, and the points for the one he was upset about were not low either. Moreover, there are several people whose targets in the quests have even more points."
Hearing about points, An Ruoyu perked up a little: "Xiao Qi, you have to understand, lying flat is my pursuit."
Xiao Qi: "Host, you have a lot of points."
"It's very troublesome; there are so many people to save."
"Host, you have a lot of points."
An Ruoyu pouted, convinced by the points: "Okay, I'll do this task."
"Great, host. The world inside the gate is wonderful. Just treat it as a trip."
An Ruoyu raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with its words. Moreover, she didn't think the task was that easy.
"Are you sure you won't restrict my abilities once I go in?"
Xiao Qi touched her nose in the virtual space, looking a little guilty:
"Well... the host can indeed only use one level of spiritual power. Otherwise, using full strength would completely break the rules. Besides, I believe that with the host's skills, it wouldn't be a problem."
"The reason I have this layer of spiritual power left is because of the quest target, Ruan Lanzhu. Everyone else is easy to deal with, but this NPC's situation cannot be changed with ordinary abilities."
"Host is very clever."
An Ruoyu stood up and walked out of the mall to wait for her car by the roadside: "Hmph, I know, I'll go home when the car arrives."
"Okay, host, have a safe journey," Xiao Qi said, sounding a little obsequious.
The original owner had a good income. She used her savings from two years' salary, plus the money she saved from part-time jobs and frugal living during college, to make a down payment on a duplex apartment this year.
When An Ruoyu arrived at her doorstep, she took out her key from her bag, opened the door, and went inside.
The apartment has a simple and elegant overall style, with items neatly arranged and very clean.
The first floor has a living room, kitchen, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a bathroom. The second floor has a bedroom and a study. The arrangement of each room shows that the original owner put a lot of thought into it.
In the original owner's heart, she must have been full of expectations for the future, and her early death was indeed a regret and a source of resentment for her.
However, An Ruoyu only felt hot at this moment. She quickly found the air conditioner remote and turned it on. After getting out of the car, she was too lazy to use her spiritual power to relieve the heat.
After resting for half an hour, the indoor temperature had almost dropped, so she went upstairs to the original owner's wardrobe.
She didn't have many clothes in her wardrobe, so she put all the clothes in it aside and took out her own clothes from her storage space to hang them up.
After tidying up, An Ruoyu grabbed a nightgown and went downstairs into the bathroom.
She was standing in front of the mirror, looking at her face.
Her fair skin shimmered under the light, her long, thick black hair curled at the ends and fell to her waist, her eyes were bright and clear, and her lips were naturally red.
She raised her hand and touched the smooth skin on her face. An Ruoyu smiled at herself in the mirror, her extraordinary beauty shining even brighter.
Twenty minutes later, she sat on the carpet in front of the sofa, eating and watching a movie on TV.
Xiao Qi: "Host, the plot hasn't even started yet. Do you have any thoughts or plans?"
An Ruoyu nodded as she ate: "Yes!"
"What?" Xiao Qi asked curiously.
"I'll quit my job first. I don't even want to be a boss, let alone a corporate slave, even though the original owner's job was pretty good."
She wouldn't compromise herself on anything unrelated to the mission; she just wanted to make herself happy.
Not hearing anything related to the mission, Xiao Qi continued, "And then?"
"And then you just wait!"
Xiao Qi: "Host, do you also plan to naturally enter the game at the time of the original owner?"
An Ruoyu shook her head: "No, I entered the story with the protagonist from the very beginning. I need to get to know them before I can have a reason to save them."
"I'm relieved that you have a plan, host."

Two months later-
An Ruoyu was typing away on the computer, the screen filled with dense code that made people dizzy.
After a short while, she stopped what she was doing, exited the app, and opened a game on the desktop.
This is a small game she developed and designed when she was bored. Although it is relatively niche, quite a few people play it.
