"Knock, knock, knock."
A few knocks sounded at the door.
"Anyang, can I come in?"
Anyang frowned and sat up from the bed in one swift motion.
"Of course, Lina."
Lina, with her golden bob and a red dress, lightly made up and smiling, walked in and sat down next to him, very close to him.
"Can I sit here?"
Anyang took a light sniff; the woman had put on some perfume, and it smelled very good.
"Of course, make yourself comfortable, and you look beautiful."
Lina's face showed a hint of worry. She turned to look at him and said, "You're leaving tomorrow, right? Will we ever see each other again?"
Anyang narrowed his eyes. Foreign women were often very open. When she sat on his bed with such a meticulous makeup, it was already a clear hint.
"Can't say for sure, but I think we won't see each other again. Asia is on the other side of the world."
Lina suddenly leaned in, staring directly into his eyes. Their faces were very close, and she opened her red lips and said, "Actually, I really like Chinese kung fu. If you have time, can you teach me?"
Anyang nodded. The fire that had been building up for three months was almost burning him to ashes, and this woman was teasing him, making his breathing quicken.
Lina leaned forward and kissed his lips, her hands naturally wrapping around his neck, and her body pressed against his.
The two kissed more intensely, their bodies burning hot, and they let out slight breaths through their noses.
...
In the real world, in Jin Guan City, another deserted alley.
Anyang, dressed in a dark green military uniform, appeared out of nowhere. This time, he was mentally prepared, and his intermediate-level combat proficiency gave him better reflexes and balance, so he landed steadily.
He paused and took out his phone.
"Why is it always an alley?"
"The chosen one's room is occupied. If you're not afraid of scaring her by suddenly appearing, I can change the positioning strategy next time."
Anyang was taken aback and said, "Occupied, is it Ji Weiwei, or a thief?"
"Based on the photos from the chosen one's old phone, it should be her."
Anyang relaxed and thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go back. It's time to use your phone's functions. Come on, show me the map."
A 3D map instantly appeared on the phone, marking his home and his current location. The shortest route turned red, and the map direction changed with the phone, especially the street scenery, which looked exactly the same, quite impressive.
"Oh, I know the way, turn it off."
Anyang put away his phone, looked around, and took off the medals from his chest, as well as the shoulder badges, cap emblem, and collar flowers from his military uniform, and put them in his pocket. Only then did he walk forward confidently.
The plot of "Rush Out of the Amazon" is set in 1999, and this military uniform is from the 87-style. The current active-duty uniform is the 07-style. According to Chinese law, non-active-duty officers are not allowed to wear active-duty uniforms.
Anyone can wear the 87-style uniform, but they cannot wear the shoulder badges, collar flowers, and cap emblems, as that would be considered impersonating a military officer, which he couldn't afford to do.
Even so, his military uniform still drew a lot of attention, especially since many people didn't recognize the difference between the 87-style and the 07-style uniforms. Seeing his stern face and unwavering gaze, and the military demeanor he had developed over three months at the hunter school, they all assumed he was an officer.
Anyang walked up the stairs and knocked on the door, but there was no response. He knocked again, but still no response.
"Is no one there?"
Anyang decided not to wait and took out his key, unlocking the door with a click.
It was a two-bedroom, two-living room apartment, not small but not large either, the kind where no one could hide. A quick glance showed that no one was inside.
"Where did this girl go?"
Anyang smiled bitterly. He had gone to a mall and changed his military uniform into casual clothes in the restroom, but Ji Weiwei had disappeared again.
His phone vibrated, and a dense amount of information appeared.
Overture 3: A Chinese Ghost Story
Mission World: A Chinese Ghost Story (Source World)
Mission Time: 503 hours and 31 minutes later
Mission Objective: Prevent Nie Xiaolan from being reborn
Initial Skills: None
Mission Success: Reward with one item ability, one skill point, and one physical attribute point
Mission Failure: Repeat the mission
"Chinese Ghost Story! Nie Xiaolan! Black Mountain Old Demon! Yan Chixia! Swordsmanship!"
Anyang's eyes widened. His first reaction was not to the beautiful ghost Nie Xiaolan but to the fact that he was finally entering a world that could surpass the real world in some aspects!
In such a world, his gains would undoubtedly be the greatest.
"Ha ha, my skill theft finally has a use!"
Only after his excitement subsided did Anyang begin to scrutinize the mission.
"Prevent Nie Xiaolan from being reborn, so you want Nie Xiaolan and Ning Caichen to be together? I didn't expect you to be so righteous, System! I misjudged you!"
"Wait, 503 hours and 31 minutes, let me calculate... two times two is four, two times four is eight, okay, System, act like a phone, open the calculator for me."
"Almost twenty-one days, such a long time!"
Anyang was surprised. Such a long preparation time.
"System, what's going on?"
"In the 'Rush Out of the Amazon' world, the original probability of the chosen one giving up due to fatigue was 2%, the probability of being hit by a bullet on the Devil's Road was 5%, the probability of being hit during the first drug bust was 31%, and the second... In summary, the probability of the chosen one giving up the mission is 2%, the probability of dropping out due to injury is 65%, and the probability of completing the mission is 33%. The chosen one is expected to repeat the mission three times, and completing it in one go is equivalent to saving 432 hours..."
"Stop, I get it. You mean the interval between the next mission and the previous one is related to the completion time of the previous mission?"
"Yes."
Anyang suddenly understood.
In the Amazon mission, any injury would result in leaving the training, which for him meant mission failure. In the two most dangerous live-action scenarios, he chose to snipe from a distance the first time and avoided the greatest danger the second time. Therefore, the 503 hours also included the time he saved by not repeating the 'Rush Out of the Amazon' mission twice.
"I should watch 'A Chinese Ghost Story' a few times first."
Anyang said this, threw his phone into his personal space, and was about to turn on his computer when he felt his stomach rumble.
"Whatever, there are still over twenty days. I'll go out and eat something first."
