“Baby, if I catch you again, I’ll break your legs, and you’ll have to live in the cage I weave for you from then on.”
The man’s eyes blaze red as he watches Song Jinshi vanish little by little.
Song Jinshi casually waved his hand, showing no worry about whether the man can catch him, and he provocatively flashes a big smile.
“The host is completing the quests faster and faster; the host is truly amazing!”
“Of course! At first, I just lacked experience. Once I gained some, I could complete the quests quickly!”
“System, how many more quests do I need to complete to go home?”
Song Jinshi works hard in the dungeons every day simply to return home; after all, he misses his loving mom and dad.
“The host just needs to complete three more quests to leave.”
“However, the host cannot proceed to the next quest for now; we just received notice that our gaming world will hold a networking gala, and the top 100 from all regions must attend.”
“As the number one in the romance section, you must definitely go.”
Song Jinshi pouts; he doesn’t understand why there are so many events in this game, but he nods obediently.
The following evening.
“Have you heard? The top 100 from all sections have to come to this networking event, and that one from the romance section will be there too.”
“Isn’t he the one who supposedly conquered several top NPCs and players from the romance section?”
“Yes, yes!”
As the two discuss what the number one must look like to charm so many handsome rivals in the beauty-centric romance section, a melodious voice rings out.
“Lu Zhiang! The water you brought is too hot; I want cold!”
Song Jinshi pouts in displeasure; he clearly wanted alcohol, but he only got water.
As if bringing water was not enough, it was hot water at that! He is being controlled even at a networking event!
But Song Jinshi quickly forgets this minor annoyance and turns to another man, saying, “Bai Yan, I want to eat little cakes; go get some for me.”
“Jiang Wei! Who told you to touch my hand?”
The two who initially went to help Song Jinshi immediately turn around upon hearing this.
They quickly grab one of Song Jinshi’s hands and pull him away from Jiang Wei.
The people from the romance section have long grown accustomed to this.
However, others from different sections cast curious glances toward them.
At this moment, in a certain private room upstairs.
“Do you think we can get this delicate little beauty into our horror game section?”
“Our section is filled with oddities; the beauty from the romance section is certainly more appealing.”
“He’s so delicate; he’ll probably cry from fear when he encounters those terrifying monsters. That little beauty must be very charming when he cries.”
The man smiles at his friends, his gaze fixed intently on the most striking individual downstairs.
His friend follows his line of sight, and upon seeing the face favoured by the gods, his usually calm demeanour is disrupted.
The man’s deep-set eyes linger on Song Jinshi for a while. When he sees Song Jinshi obediently getting his head petted by another man, he can no longer restrain himself.
“Find a way to get the information for his next quest; when the time comes, I will trap him in our quest during his transition.”
“As long as he enters our horror game section, he won’t be able to return to the romance area.”
As he finishes speaking, he glances again at the carefree Song Jinshi below and the pack of wolves around him.
“At that time, even if they want to take him back, it won’t be so easy unless they switch zones to our horror section.”
“But the people from the romance zone probably wouldn’t even be able to clear a low-level quest in our section.”
The gala has effectively turned into a personal showcase for Song Jinshi.
Everyone’s attention is almost entirely on those from the romance section, especially on Song Jinshi.
After the event, Song Jinshi struggled to escape the encirclement of several men to go check the information for the next quest at the game table.
