On the 20th of December, the Dream Company released the news of this' Christmas Treasure Hunt '.
The event was not that complicated. To put it simply, from Christmas Eve (24th December) to Boxing Day (26th December), during these three days, Thriller Paradise would introduce a new mode called 'Treasure Hunt Mode'.
The basic setting of Treasure Hunt Mode was similar to Normal Difficulty Team Survival Mode, but there were two differences. First, the requirement to clear Treasure Hunt Mode was to find a certain item. Second, after clearing Treasure Hunt Mode, not only would there be additional rewards for the basic reward, there would also be corresponding special rewards.
Since the new update had just been released, when everyone was rushing to level up and clear dungeons, this kind of event naturally became a fire in the winter.
Even those who were busy during the holidays could not help but go online to clear a few dungeons during their sleep. Of course, professional players were even more so.
On the day the news was announced, almost all the gaming studios immediately issued a notice to their employees to "prepare to work overtime". Considering that most of the professional gamers were young people and that they might be "busy" during Christmas, many of the studios even came up with a ruthless move like "multiple times the salary and additional bonuses". They were really putting in a lot of effort.
Players like Feng Bujue, who joined the game with a 'special mission', had it worse. No one would pay him to play the game, but he had to play. Not only did he have to play, he had to make full use of the various bonuses from this event and convert them into actual benefits for himself in the game world and … power.
However, working hard did not mean that he would bury his head in the sand.
Without a doubt, Feng Bujue was someone who knew how to achieve twice the result with half the effort. He would not log into the game early in the morning on the 24th with an expression that said, "If I'm late, it will be over."
No matter what, there was a limit to the total amount of time a player could spend in the game within twenty-four hours. How to clear as many dungeons as possible and efficiently as possible … that was the key.
Therefore, even when it was almost noon, Brother Jue still did not go online. Instead, he calmly collected information on the forum and converted the experience of other players into his own.
"Sigh … The internet is such a miraculous place …" Feng Bujue flipped through the hot posts on the front page and browsed through the free and detailed information. He sighed. "The people of this world have hidden themselves behind a virtual ID that is not that secure, and they dare to say things that they normally wouldn't dare to say. Many opinions and information that should be revealed after careful consideration … they will very generously and honestly share them with countless strangers who they have never met before.
"And the motivation for them to do that … is nothing more than a sense of acknowledgment and a sense of joy that cannot be found in this oppressive society."
Even though Brother Jue was grumbling, his eyes and brain did not stop. He was someone who was used to multitasking. When his mouth was talking about one thing, his eyes and brain could do several other things without any hindrance, and it would not cause any disturbance.
For example, as long as he was on the same screen, he could do Sudoku while watching a movie. He could solve the Sudoku puzzle very quickly, and he would not miss a single line in the movie.
This was a very normal thing for Feng Bujue. It was just like how he had to "watch something" when he was eating alone. If he let his mind rest, he would feel uncomfortable.
Brother Jue sat in front of the computer for about twenty minutes. Even though he had not logged into the game yet, he already had a fairly comprehensive understanding of the "treasure hunt mode".
* Knock knock knock — *
Just as Brother Jue was about to leave the computer to get something to eat, someone knocked on the door.
"Hey …" He was stunned for a moment. "What's going on? Is my walkie-talkie broken? How did these people get up here? "
His question was immediately answered. When he looked through the peephole on the door, he saw Ruo Yu.
"Eh?" Feng Bujue opened the door and asked, "Why are you here?"
Since the person who came was Ruo Yu, there was no need for him to ask how she opened the door downstairs. After all, she already had a magnetic card for the residential building.
"The gallery is closed during Christmas," Ruo Yu's answer seemed to come out of nowhere. Her expression was a little strange.
"Oh." Feng Bujue did not know how to continue the conversation. "So …"
"So I chose to stay at home and read books and surf the internet," Ruo Yu replied.
Brother Jue turned sideways and gestured for her to enter the house first. "And then?"
Ruo Yu walked in and closed the door behind her. "Then my parents formed a group and came to bother me. They told me that … I should spend my days with my boyfriend. It's not right to stay at home all day."
"Yeah …" Feng Bujue had already turned around and walked into the living room. "So … you plan to stay at my place?"
"That's right," Ruo Yu replied. Then she asked, "I hope I'm not bothering you?"
"Of course not …" Brother Jue said. "We've been living together for almost half a year. Why are you still talking about that …"
"Can you say something that's less likely to cause a misunderstanding?" Ruo Yu followed him into the house expressionlessly. She skillfully changed her shoes and found a place to sit down as if it was her own house.
"Uh …" Feng Bujue thought for two seconds before he replied, "I don't think … that's possible." He paused and said in a very normal tone, "But … I can take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to take a photo and practice your signature. Then the problem will be solved."
"Our relationship …" Ruo Yu responded in a calm tone after hearing this specious request. "It hasn't progressed to that point yet."
"I think it's just a matter of time," Feng Bujue said casually as he sat down on the sofa.
"Don't be too confident." Ruo Yu replied. "What if I find out that I don't have any feelings for you when I break the seal? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?"
"I don't think it's embarrassing to love someone who doesn't love you." Feng Bujue shrugged and replied, "As long as the love is real, it's at most a little sad, but not ridiculous."
"Can I see what you're saying now as another way to express the words' I love you '?" Ruo Yu glanced at Brother Jue from the corner of her eyes and mimicked the latter's sarcastic tone.
"Sure." Feng Bujue stared at her with his dead fish eyes and gave an affirmative answer.
"Well …" Ruo Yu immediately stared at him with her dead fish eyes. She organized her words and said, "I've been confessed to a lot of times since I was a child. But for someone like you … who uses a third-person perspective and an objective tone … coupled with the sentence structure of chicken soup for the soul … to say such words and try to move me … I think that you can be considered as unparalleled in the world, one of a kind. "
"Oh?" Feng Bujue responded with a smile, "Then your answer is?"
"I don't think it's embarrassing to reject someone." Ruo Yu once again imitated her Brother Jue's expression and acted out vividly. "As long as that person doesn't change his attitude, at most, there will be more rejections. There will be no exceptions."
