Chapter 18

The one-hour free activity period has ended. Players who have received this notification, please proceed to the playground immediately and gather under the Tower of God. Those who fail to arrive within a quarter of an hour will be subject to elimination.

Zhenyu finished reading the message and looked towards the playground.

He saw nothing.

"Should I go to the top of the teaching building first to buy two attribute stones? What about you? Are you coming with me, or going to the playground first?"

Sun Yuan closed the attribute panel and took a deep breath.

The most challenging game, the Tower of God, was finally about to begin.

In the mobile game he played, attacking the tower was the core gameplay. Players who successfully cleared the Tower of God and reached the top could obtain various top-tier rewards, achievements, and honor titles.

One could say that players who wanted to become stronger had to attack the tower.

"Of course, I'm following you!"

Zhenyu didn't hesitate at all.

Why would she need to choose?

Of course, she would cling to her senior's leg for a hundred years without wavering.

Students began to appear on campus, heading towards the playground.

After experiencing the three beginner games, being chased by spore people, and witnessing the death of classmates, the students of Ancient City University had learned their lesson.

If the Silver Pony said elimination, it would not show any mercy.

Sun Yuan led Zhenyu up to the rooftop and saw that Shen Jingran was still there.

"Why so late? Now we don't have time to discuss!"

Shen Jingran complained, glancing at Zhenyu and subtly sizing her up from head to toe.

Tsk!

She's really top-notch!

Shen Jingran wasn't inferior because she was also extremely outstanding in both appearance and talent.

Then, her gaze shifted to the silver long spear in Sun Yuan's hand and the baseball bat protruding from his backpack.

"Did he really manage to snatch equipment from Chu Yuntao?"

Shen Jingran was surprised.

She had just chatted with Lu Wenjun and learned about the conflict, but she didn't believe it at first. After all, Chu Yuntao was very domineering, and provoking him was like pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth.

But now the facts were right in front of her.

This Sun Yuan,

is even more capable than I thought.

"It's gone, so be it!"

Sun Yuan didn't care.

If everything went as expected, he had already played the game in the tower several times. He might not get the first kill, but surviving and clearing it was no problem.

"Uh!"

Shen Jingran was choked by this response, almost ready to lash out. When had the great Shen Goddess ever been replied to by a man in such a tone?

Does he still want to be my lapdog?

"Hello, senior, I'm Zhenyu!"

Zhenyu put on a professional smile, greeted her proactively, and looked harmless.

"I'm Shen Jingran!"

Shen Jingran saw Sun Yuan walk to the vending machine, her eyes lit up, and she immediately followed: "Are you buying something?"

"Yep!"

Sun Yuan had killed two rare monsters, earning him 2,000 points, plus the points from killing the ordinary spore people, totaling 2,790 points.

"What are you planning to buy?"

Shen Jingran was curious.

"Attribute stones!"

Sun Yuan had already made up his mind: "They are the most valuable!"

"Wow, how many points do you have?"

Shen Jingran was shocked. She had already browsed the game store and knew the basic prices.

One attribute stone costs 1,000 points.

To kill 100 monsters and earn enough points for one attribute stone.

Sun Yuan managed to kill so many spore people in just one hour?

Unbelievable!

"More than 2,000!"

Sun Yuan casually replied.

"What?"

Shen Jingran was taken aback: "All in this one hour?"

"Yep!"

Sun Yuan nodded.

Shen Jingran's brows furrowed.

She thought Sun Yuan was boasting, trying to elevate himself in front of her, as many lapdogs had done to make her look at them differently.

But think about it, you need to kill over 200 spore people to earn that many points!

That's too many. Even if you kill one every 30 seconds without stopping, you'd only manage 120 in an hour...

However, Shen Jingran didn't plan to expose Sun Yuan. After all, he was her backup, and if she hurt his ego, he might not pursue her anymore.

"Actually, in the early stages of the game, a small attribute boost isn't very useful. It's better to draw lots, maybe you'll get a bike turned into a motorcycle..."

Shen Jingran suddenly stopped talking. Her pupils dilated as she stared at two transparent stones, more beautiful than jade, being dispensed from the vending machine.

Two stones?

Shen Jingran was speechless.

Sun Yuan really earned over 2,000 points!

"Such beautiful stones!"

Zhenyu exclaimed.

"The effects are even better!"

Sun Yuan put the stones in his mouth.

Swallow!

Shen Jingran couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva, envious to the point of drooling...

It was the saliva at the corner of her mouth.

"What does it taste like?"

Shen Jingran asked.

After completing the three beginner games, she used her 1,000 points to draw lots, 100 points per draw.

Her luck was good, and she obtained one piece of equipment and two potions.

"It doesn't taste like anything, but it dissolves instantly, and a warm current spreads throughout your body."

Sun Yuan felt the changes in his body and described them seriously: "It's like soaking in a hot spring, enjoying a thorough massage from two attentive ladies, very comfortable!"

This time, he bought two endurance attribute stones.

Mainly to enhance physical strength and recovery.

"Didn't you use your 2,000 points to buy attribute stones before?"

Shen Jingran chuckled.

"Yep!"

Sun Yuan opened the attribute panel and saw his endurance increase from 7 to 9. One more stone, and it would be maxed out.

Looking forward to it.

Zhenyu saw Shen Jingran's lips pout. From her experience as a female streamer, observing fan behavior, she could tell that the senior was probably thinking "reckless spending."

"Why don't you draw lots?"

Shen Jingran complained: "With 1,000 points, you can draw 40 times, and you're sure to get a lot of things!"

"I'm a non-Euclidean, the more I draw, the more I lose."

Sun Yuan knew his limits.

"You..."

Shen Jingran was speechless. This was a matter of spending philosophy: "By the way, what about your divine coin? You didn't exchange it for points to buy attribute stones, did you?"

"Too precious to spend."

Sun Yuan shook his head.

"Good, keep it!"

Shen Jingran was relieved. If Sun Yuan spent it, she would be heartbroken.

If he kept it, maybe it would be hers in the future.

"Senior, from what this senior said, you earned a lot of points?"

Zhenyu looked admiringly: "And you have a divine coin? What is that?"

"Not much, just okay!"

Sun Yuan was very calm, not thinking the amount was excessive: "As for the divine coin, it's a very valuable currency!"

"..."

Shen Jingran wanted to hit him. Your points are four times mine, and you still say it's not much?

Sigh!

Miscalculation.

I should have followed Sun Yuan and teamed up with him. That way, I could have shared half of his points.

Sun Yuan didn't care about Shen Jingran's thoughts and bought five of the cheapest healing potions.

Name:初级恢复药剂 (Primary Recovery Potion).

Type: Consumable.

Quality: Common.

Effect: Rapidly stops bleeding, relieves pain, and heals minor physical wounds. Continuous use within a short time will reduce the healing effect.

Note: Don't underestimate me; I'm the best at taking medicine.

"This one is for you!"

Sun Yuan handed a potion to Zhenyu: "In critical moments, I might not be able to take care of you, so use the potion yourself and don't die."

The primary healing potion looks like a silver metal syringe about the length of a thumb. To use it, simply remove the needle cap with your thumb and inject it into the muscle. It's very simple.

One potion costs 100 points.

"Thank you, senior!"

Zhenyu was very grateful, placing her hands on her knees and bowing.

"Let's go to the playground."

Sun Yuan urged, leading the way down the stairs.

"..."

Shen Jingran was stunned.

What about my potion?

Why did you give it to her and not me?

Didn't the Silver Pony say you have a crush on me?

But your actions don't show it at all!

Wait,

Could this guy be using a reverse psychology tactic?

No,

A single, loveless guy couldn't possibly have such high-level tactics.

Shen Jingran, though also single and with her first kiss still intact, was smart and self-taught.

"Senior, let's go."

Zhenyu called out.

"Sun Yuan, you're spending points recklessly. You should plan better."

Shen Jingran caught up: "I just drew lots and got potions. We can use them together. You should draw lots to get more equipment, maximizing our points."

Zhenyu glanced at Shen Jingran. Although he didn't say they were a team, her words and tone suggested a sense of camaraderie and shared fate.

If it were another guy, being able to team up with a beautiful girl would be thrilling.

"My equipment is enough!"

Sun Yuan waved the vibrating long spear in his hand. As for the barbarian boomerang, he had it tucked behind his waist, hidden by his T-shirt.

Shen Jingran pinched her brow.

She was frustrated.

Straight guys really can't understand subtext.

She
