After deciding to give up, I became popular

In short, after successfully obtaining all the required items, I placed them one by one on the metal compass in the central hall. The door directly opposite us then slowly opened.

Although I don't know how it works, it's really cool, giving you the feeling of being inside a game.

Following that, Xia Chuanzou once again carried Si Gong Huiye, who still seemed to have some leg problems, and slowly walked through the door.

Originally, he thought that the person in charge of the level would be waiting for him, ready to comment on their challenge or give them a prize, but unexpectedly, another BOSS suddenly appeared.

"I hate it so much!!!"

A slender, pure white phantom floated out while wailing.

Her face was covered by a head of black hair, but from her voluptuous figure, it shouldn't be difficult to guess that her face is probably pretty good too.

However, Xia Chuanzou was in no mood to explore these things. He was really so tired that he wanted to die, unable to withstand another round of carrying and chasing.

"So what's the test? It can't be that you want me to compete with you in speed on this corridor of death, right?" Xia Chuanzou said weakly.

After entering the door, there was only a long corridor left, surrounded by walls with no way out. Although the corridor was quite spacious, it was obviously not realistic to run past her directly.

Moreover, looking at the way she appeared, he understood that there must be some mechanism under her feet, perhaps a balance car or a skateboard or something. Asking him to compete with her in speed while carrying someone was purely suicide.

However, although he seemed anxious, the other party was obviously still immersed in the role-playing and was not in a hurry to explain the conditions to him, still diligently saying her lines.

"You, aren't you afraid of me?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, you won't do anything to me anyway..." Xia Chuanzou shrugged.

Although she didn't crawl out of a TV or a well, it was obvious that she was dressed up like Miss Sadako, but the key point was that her floating appearance was not shocking enough, and her figure was really full of sex appeal, which made Xia Chuanzou think of other things.

For example, like in 'Warmth of the Moonlit Day', she couldn't get out of the TV frame because her breasts were too big, so she could only act like a spoiled child. There were also various urban legend series, such as Miss Sadako having to go to sea to shoot movies in order to maintain her sense of existence. She had long since transformed from a horror legend into a welfare girl!

He wasn't afraid at all, or rather, only his little brother might have a little reaction.

Not only him, but even the silly lady on his back also popped her head out in time, looking curiously at Miss Sadako floating in front of her. No trace of fear could be felt on her face.

"Guu... I, I'm a ghost!" Miss Sadako seemed a little exasperated, but she only let out a soft howl to scare them.

The lethality wasn't even as good as a husky's tantrum, but instead was full of cuteness.

"So... what kind of method does this lovely ghost lady need to let us pass through here? Could it be that you have some unfulfilled wish that you need our help with?" Xia Chuanzou really couldn't force himself to look scared, so he could only use his face fruit on her.

"Feel free to make any requests, and if we can do it, we will definitely agree," Xia Chuanzou suggested.

According to urban legends, a ghost who cannot be reincarnated must have some unfinished wish in this world, and perhaps they can start from this aspect.

"C-Cute..." Miss Sadako looked very shy, it seemed that she usually wasn't praised like this, but after all, she was still very dutiful and immediately came back to her senses to continue her lines with Xia Chuanzou.

"N-No, that's not right! Did you just say that you can help me fulfill my wish? Are you not lying to me?"

"Of course I'm not lying to you, I guarantee it with my student council president's personality," Xia Chuanzou patted his chest.

"Student council president?" Miss Sadako tilted her head, looking a little puzzled.

Xia Chuanzou thought that she didn't recognize him, so he simply gave his name.

"My name is Xia Chuanzou, from Class A of the second year. I don't know if you've heard of me... but that's not the point. Anyway, just tell me your wish and we'll fulfill it for you."

"..." Miss Sadako did seem to be wavering. Her originally floating movements also stopped, and her eyes under her black hair seemed to be staring straight at them.

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and said, "What you said is right, I actually have a wish that I've wanted to fulfill for a long time..."

"Mm-hmm, tell us, we're listening," Xia Chuanzou nodded, thinking that they were finally getting to the point.

He didn't hate the plot development, he was just afraid that it would take too much time and he wouldn't be able to clear the level. Of course, the key was that he was worried that after spending too much time overall, he wouldn't be able to keep his appointments with other people.

"Actually, I have a fiancé who was betrothed to me since childhood... Oh right, it was before I died... At that time, my parents made me do a lot of bride training, just so that I wouldn't disgrace the family after I married over one day, but I didn't expect that I would suddenly be rejected by the other party... After that, my father went on a long journey to find them to reason with them, but he never returned, and my mother also fell ill and died because of lovesickness..."

Although it was impossible to see Miss Sadako's expression, it was not difficult to tell from her tone that she was really immersed in the role, and her voice was trembling with a hint of crying.

"I, I don't know what to do... After burying my mother with the help of the villagers, I embarked on the road to find my father, and then I unknowingly walked here... When I walked here..." Miss Sadako really had a lot of empathy, and she was really putting herself into the story even though she was just simply explaining the plot.

"... Please accept my condolences," Xia Chuanzou silently comforted her for a while.

He had already foreseen what would happen next.

After all, the setting was in an era when "betrothal since childhood" still existed, and a girl like her would definitely encounter misfortune when she went out, maybe it was the most heartbreaking kind of tragedy...

"... Just starved to death."

"... Huh?" Xia Chuanzou thought he had heard wrong.

And when Miss Sadako saw Xia Chuanzou's confused look, she explained to him: "I was afraid that my father wouldn't be able to find his way home after he came back, so I didn't sell all the things in the house. I just brought some dry food with me and set off, but... maybe I miscalculated. I didn't bring enough dry food, and the food ran out before I even reached half the way, and then I starved to death..."

Xia Chuanzou didn't know if it was his illusion, but even though her face was completely covered by black hair, he could still see the flushed face under her hair...

So you know you're embarrassed, but you still have the courage to say it!

But what Xia Chuanzou wanted to complain about at this moment was another sentence - isn't it a bit too farfetched to starve to death? Your script is too outrageous!

163. How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!

"Let me reiterate, are you saying... that because you didn't bring enough food, you accidentally starved to death on the way to find your father? Is that right?" Xia Chuanzou summarized.

"Yes..." Miss Sadako weakly nodded, and when she saw the subtle look in Xia Chuanzou's eyes, she hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, it's not what you think! Actually, the food I brought was enough, but after I met some beggars on the road, I gave them some..."

"Them?"

"Mm-hmm, it's because I gave them some that I didn't have enough to eat..."

"Uh... so you didn't think about finding some... food yourself?" Xia Chuanzou was very puzzled.

"Eh... but I'm not homeless, I can't beg like them, right?"

"..."

Okay, okay, since you've said so, what else can he say? Her ignorance of the world has far exceeded his imagination!

To put it bluntly, even if he threw the silly lady in the "young Huiye" state on his back into that kind of environment, she wouldn't starve to death, right?!

The most important thing is that he was prepared to listen to a very tragic and moving story, but this is it? Give him back his feelings!

"So your wish... can't be that you want to have a good meal, right?" Xia Chuanzou asked doubtfully.

After all, she was a hungry ghost, so it was normal to want to eat more. Her wish might be to have another good meal.

"What, that's so rude! How could I be the kind of guy who likes to be gluttonous! My wish is just to see my fiancé who I've never met before... At most, I just want to ask why he suddenly wanted to break off the engagement," Miss Sadako was really dedicated, and the way she performed was also very pure.

Xia Chuanzou seemed to be able to glimpse the rich emotions on her face under the black hair from her tone.

It's just that this script is really terrible, making people really want to complain about it.

"Oh, I get it, so you just need me to find your 'fiancé who is somewhere' right?" Xia Chuanzou slowly said, "Of course that's no problem, we agree."

He originally thought that this last level would be difficult for a while, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple task.

It's just finding someone, and they can definitely find him by searching carefully along the way.

"Then you follow us... but remember not to make too much noise, I don't want to fail the challenge because of that," Xia Chuanzou reminded.

Miss Sadako looked a little puzzled, but she still nodded gently.

"Okay," Miss Sadako responded, and then handed over a small bracelet, "Please accept this bracelet, so that I can always follow by the benefactor's side."

"Okay," Xia Chuanzou nodded and took it.

He carefully looked at it and found that it was quite exquisitely made. Although it was a wooden bracelet, it seemed to be well maintained and looked as good as new.

Of course, it was possible that it was just something he had just bought, but he didn't recognize the goods and couldn't really tell.

"Guu... B-Benefactor, p-please don't touch me like that... I-I can't take it..."

"... Huh?" Xia Chuanzou looked over in horror, thinking, what kind of lewd words are you saying?

He still had a girl on his back! What are you trying to do by insulting his innocence!

He could even feel the silly lady on his back looking at him with a very kind gaze, and it was entirely possible that she would say "scumbag" in the next second!

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't even touch you!" He quickly stuffed the bracelet into his pocket, and then quickly raised his hands to show his innocence.

"It's okay, President, it's dark, so it's normal to accidentally touch her, right?" Si Gong Huiye puffed out her cheeks, looking very unhappy.

From her perspective, she couldn't tell whether the president had taken the opportunity to touch the girl's hand just now, but the other party said that... Ah, she was really conflicted!

On the one hand, she wanted to trust the president and thought it might just be a misunderstanding, but on the other hand, she really cared about whether he had really reached out his salty pig hand.

She was still here! If you're going to touch someone, touch her more! Her hand feels better!

In short, she was so angry!

So the silly lady hardened her heart, and the hand that was originally on Xia Chuanzou's right shoulder reached out, grabbed the other party's right hand, and refused to let go.

"In order to prevent the president from losing the student council's reputation, I, the vice president, will have to manage the president's hand on his behalf!"

"..." Xia Chuanzou opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want..." After thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't communicate with Si Gong Huiye in this state. Anyway, she was just a child, very imaginative, and he wouldn't get any sense of accomplishment even if he won against her.

So he turned his gaze to the mastermind beside him, who he didn't know whether they had deliberately caused their misunderstanding. Just as he was about to remind them to follow, he found that they had already disappeared without a trace.

"Where's the person?" Xia Chuanzou asked doubtfully.

He looked around, but didn't find any trace of them. After waiting for a while, he still didn't see anyone, so the two gave up the idea of continuing to wait.

After all, they had the bracelet, so it should be considered a quest item. They just needed to interact with the target object when the time came.

With this in mind, the two continued their journey.

Nothing unexpected happened on the road ahead, but the passage became narrower and narrower, barely able to accommodate one person. However, it was not a problem for Xia Chuanzou and the two, after all, he had always been acting as a mount, so he didn't care.

After walking along this small road for a while, they finally saw a glimmer of light shining through the cracks in the wooden door, so he strode forward and pushed the door open -

What came into view was a group of "ghosts" wearing strange clothes and playing cards in an open space. With Xia Chuanzou's arrival, the two sides looked at each other for a long time.

"SO? What's next?" Xia Chuanzou was no longer in the mood to enjoy the fun of the game. He was just very tired and just wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

Just as he was about to make a quick decision, several people suddenly stood up, patted the dust off their bodies, and came over to greet the two.

"As expected of the president, he was the first to complete the challenge! You're really amazing!"

"President, please sit here and rest for a while. I'll go find the person in charge right away! Please wait a moment!"

"Ah?" Xia Chuanzou was taken aback. "So, you're saying the challenge is over??"

Just as Xia Chuanzou was wondering if he didn't still have a task to do, a voice suddenly rang out, a voice that clearly indicated its owner was very silly.

"Yes, that's right, it's all over!"

A pink octopus head suddenly popped out.

The strange pig head mask on her face had long been taken off, replaced by two cat ears hanging on a headband that seemed to be able to shake on their own.

Great, a cat girl!

Suppressing the urge to rub them, Xia Chuanzou frowned and said, "Are you sure it's all over?"

"Yes, yes, it's considered a complete clearance if two people can come out from here together," Fujiwara Chika tugged at the pompom hanging beside her ear, and the cat ears on her head moved a few times, very cute.

"But you still have to submit the stamped card later. If you haven't stamped every level, it doesn't count even if you, the president, come out!"

"I'm not asking about that..." Xia Chuanzou wanted to say something, but Fujiwara Chika waved her hand and interrupted him.

"Oh dear, President, don't always be so suspicious. You'll get wrinkles if you keep doing that. Hurry up and move away, don't block the way. It wouldn't be good if you bothered other challengers," Fujiwara Chika reprimanded him with confidence.

"..." Alright.

Since she said so, Xia Chuanzou had no choice but to follow her arrangement and was taken to the prize exchange area by another staff member.

"President, could they be mistaken? Wasn't there still a girl's task that hadn't been completed just now? There's still an empty space on the card," Si Gong Huiye reminded him.

Xia Chuanzou was also very puzzled, but since they said so, he could only attribute it to a "side quest," like the level hosted by Fujiwara Chika when he first came in.

But speaking of which, why did she come here again? Isn't she running that other project?

Could it be that his suggestions really enlightened this headstrong idiot?
