Li Shuoxing had never thought that he would get a plane ticket when he reached 1000 favourability points. He instantly had the great delight of winning 2000 yuan with a 2 yuan lottery ticket.
In high spirits, he immediately said to Su Mingqian, “Cub, I got a plane ticket!”
Su Mingqian was stunned at first, and then he had the same delight as Li Shuoxing. “How did you get it?”
Li Shuoxing was very serious. “I received a letter that said that I’ve been getting along with you very well lately, so I was given a plane ticket as encouragement. We can find a bit more of the past again.”
Su Mingqian: “…Mm.”
Li Shuoxing continued, “But it’s a little late today. Let’s get ready. Rest early today, refresh yourself, and go tomorrow. Also, the letter said that tomorrow is a new month and there’ll be some changes here, opening up some new things, so we don’t have to be too surprised.” He didn’t forget to make use of this time to hint at the little person. “It’s really quite strange here. You can have whatever you want, and there’s something new every day.”
Su Mingqian: “Mm.”
After a few responses in succession, his excitement slowly subsided.
He had some thoughts in his mind, but he didn’t tell Ximu his thoughts.
Although this place didn’t seem to be a simple cage… it was too mysterious and there could still be dangers. For the sake of safety, it was better not to pointlessly discuss too much without knowing anything.
And Li Shuoxing felt increasingly bald.
The cub was usually very smart, but why, whenever he tried to hint, didn’t the little person have any response?
Was it that the way he hinted never went right?
Li Shuoxing was unwilling to give up. After thinking hard for a while, he decided to subtly influence the cub from the real environment, so he called out again, “Cub!”
Su Mingqian: “Huh?”
Li Shuoxing: “You were just talking about making a snowman, so how about this? I’ll make a snowman of you at my door, and you’ll make a snowman of me at your door. Then you’ll look at the snowman of me, and I’ll look at the snowman of you—that way, it feels like we’re closer.”
Su Mingqian thought it was a good idea.
He readily agreed, “Okay.”
They reached a friendly agreement again.
Then.
A small accident occurred.
The snow in Li Shuoxing’s community melted in the middle of the night. When he woke up in the morning, there wasn’t a trace of ice or snow in the community, just patches of trampled slushy puddles.
He stood at the window and fell silent.
After a long silence, he got something similar and went on the game to report.
When he entered the game again after the early morning update, the game had changed again from the past.
The world in the game was wrapped in white, a thin layer of snowflakes covering the courtyard and eaves. The fine ice crystals hidden in them were like broken diamond fragments, shining brilliantly from time to time. In the corner of the courtyard, there was also a small sapling.
The sapling was about thirty centimetres. Despite the icy conditions, its leaves were lush and it grew vigorously, with a sense of vitality.
At the same time, an email flew across the screen and landed in the mailbox. Li Shuoxing opened the mailbox to see the update email.
Sender: System
Topic: Love Bar v1.05 update
[New Content]
(1) Large Christmas card collection and skin exchange event
(2) Added a random task system to the game
[Update Explanation]
(1): The game is opening the system of collecting gingerbread men to raise the Christmas tree and exchange Christmas skins. From 12.01 to 12.24, collect 25 ordinary gingerbread men to raise the Christmas tree and exchange for a new Christmas skin; collect 10 mystery gingerbread men to get mystery gift Ă— 1.
â‘ : Ordinary gingerbread men can be obtained from the following daily activities:
1. Making dishes daily
2. Making Christmas stockings daily
C: Extra dishes and Christmas stockings will be collected by the game after the event, and the player will be compensated.
②: There will only be one mystery gingerbread man per day, which will be hidden anywhere in the house. The player will need to find it themself.
A: Using the dishes made daily will have a probability of attracting gingerbread men to appear.
B: Using the Christmas stockings made daily will slow down the gingerbread men to a certain extent.
C: The more used, the higher the probability of mystery gingerbread men appearing.
(2): Newly added random task system. The player will have a certain probability of randomly triggering tasks and getting rewards during interactions with their lover.
Li Shuoxing finished reading the email.
He was a little surprised. The Christmas event and rewards were both normal, but what was more surprising was the appearance of random tasks.
He pondered for a while, but couldn’t figure out whether the random tasks were a perk or a trap. He simply put it aside and turned back to the Christmas event.
The Christmas event was simple.
Once a probability event was involved, then the game’s pocket for collecting money had been opened to the player.
Li Shuoxing expressionlessly swept the event content and looked for Su Mingqian.
Coincidentally.
Su Mingqian also happened to come out of the house. He walked towards the small tree in the corner of the courtyard.
Li Shuoxing: “Cub, I’m here!”
Su Mingqian: “Is this tree the new thing you mentioned?”
“Yep.” Li Shuoxing briefly explained the rules of the Christmas event to the little person. He finally commented, “The ordinary gingerbread men part of this event isn’t too complicated, but it lasts a little long and is a little annoying; the mystery gingerbread men, on the other hand, seem to be a trap, but I think we should try our best. After all, the mystery reward might be something good…”
Su Mingqian nodded in agreement.
Then he suddenly turned his face and raised his chin towards the snowman at the door, gesturing. “Ximu, look.”
But the air was suddenly silent.
Su Mingqian waited for a while and was puzzled. “Ximu?”
Li Shuoxing: “Mm…”
Su Mingqian: “Did I make it badly?”
Li Shuoxing: “No… It’s just…”
His stammering’s a little strange.
Did he forget to make a snowman?
But if he forgot, can’t he just tell me? Why does he have to be so tangled?
Su Mingqian felt even stranger.
Just then, a silvery-white light screen suddenly flashed in midair.
A photo was sent to Su Mingqian’s eyes.
It was a window sill. On the edge of the window sill sat a chibi little snowman with his appearance. It was very small, with two ordinary erasers placed together behind it, a thin folded piece of paper in its hand and colourful clothes drawn with coloured pencils on its body.
Su Mingqian took a closer look.
He found that the two erasers had the word “chair” written on them; the small folded piece of paper had the word “book” written on it.
In other words, the erasers were a chair and the paper was a book.
And that wasn’t the most amazing thing.
The most amazing thing was…
Su Mingqian’s strange look didn’t fade away. “Why, is this snowman foam?”
He finished the question.
More photos appeared on the light screen.
The rather old community had low floors, but the greenery was nice. Traces of birds could be seen among the flower beds, there were park benches for resting, and at the edge of the photo, there was also a corner of the outdoor activity area.
It was this community that seemed to have been ravaged by wind and rain, with the building surfaces all wet and muddy.
In addition to this, Li Shuoxing’s heavy voice rang out. “Cub, it’s not that I didn’t want to make you a snowman, but when I woke up in the morning, all the snow on the ground had melted and turned to mud, so I…”
Su Mingqian: “Made a snowman out of foam?”
Li Shuoxing: “Yes. After all, what we look at isn’t the form of the material, but the meaning and intentions represented by the material. I got this foam board by rushing downstairs as soon as I woke up and slapping the recycling station door open, so it’s quite precious in terms of access—”
Su Mingqian interrupted Li Shuoxing. “Ximu.”
Li Shuoxing’s confident voice dropped back a bit. “Huh?”
Su Mingqian looked at the photo of the community, and then at the foam snowman staunchly acting as snow on the window sill.
He suddenly smiled. “Ximu, you’re really a spiritual and imaginative author. I’ll take your gift. I like it very much.”
After saying that.
Generous +50.
Li Shuoxing: “???”
He always felt that Su Mingqian’s words had some rich meaning, but looking at the favourability he was quick to give, they didn’t quite seem to have a deeper meaning…
I should trust the game’s favourability system.
The cub isn’t hiding something in his words, is he?
Li Shuoxing thought so and unconsciously poked at the snowman Su Mingqian had made.
The system suddenly sounded a prompt tone when he poked it.
[System: Congratulations. During the interaction with Su Mingqian’s snowman, a system reward was randomly triggered.]
[System: You obtain: Plane Ticket Scratch Card Ă— 1]
[Name]: Plane Ticket Scratch Card
[Note]: Specially used for scratching the hidden locations of plane tickets. After using it, the player will know the specific destination of the plane ticket in hand.
Li Shuoxing: “?!”
Shit.
The system’s suddenly generous?
I haven’t done anything, and it gave me the thing I need most right now?
In his shock, he opened the backpack, took out the plane ticket and chose to use it directly.
A flash of light.
The scratch card disappeared and the plane ticket information in his hand changed.
[Name]: Plane Ticket
[Destination]: Shanghai
Li Shuoxing: “…”
He was even more shocked.
The shock this time made him blurt out before reading the rest, “Isn’t this the city I’m in?!”
Su Mingqian heard the voice. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
Li Shuoxing: “Uh, cub, listen to me. I learned the location of this plane ticket by some means. The location it takes you to is the city I’m in…”
Su Mingqian subconsciously responded, “So can we meet?”
Li Shuoxing was stumped by Su Mingqian’s question.
He felt that it was still impossible for them to meet, but he didn’t know how to tell Su Mingqian.
Li Shuoxing paused for a moment, deliberating how to answer, when he suddenly noticed a change in the plane ticket besides the destination.
He quickly took a closer look.
[Name]: Plane Ticket
[Destination]: Shanghai
[Note]:
①Using this plane ticket will open a travel gate to Shanghai in the courtyard. When Su Mingqian passes through the travel gate, he will arrive in Shanghai, China. It’s time for your lover to take a trip.
② Before using this plane ticket, the player has the option to spend 100 contribution points to unlock the “About How to Properly Use This Plane Ticket” guide.
Li Shuoxing thought the description of the second point was really messed up… but he had no choice.
Isn’t it just 100 contributions?
He spent it without changing his face.
After he spent it, the system refreshed the plane ticket information again.
[Name]: Plane Ticket
[Destination]: Shanghai
[Note]:
â‘ The player needs to arrive at the designated location before entering the travel gate [location]
② The player needs to purchase external equipment [purchase link]
③ Once the above two are completed, following the task guide, the player will be able to interact with their lover in VR.
