When the doorbell rang, Shang Rong was still in a video call with Zhang Yongya.

She glanced at the door and smiled at the camera with her usual dimples. "Sorry, Elegant, I might have to ask you to wait for a while … It's probably the express delivery."

"Express delivery?" Zhang Yongya paused for a moment and then guessed.

"Is it the game I recommended?"

"It should be," Shang Rong replied with a smile.

She wasn't a shopper. If there was a recent express delivery, it would probably be the holographic love strategy game "Love and Glory All-Stars" recommended by Zhang Yongya.

According to Zhang Yongya, the game was set in real life. It used the brain waves of the player connected to the game cabin to mobilize the player's memory to build a world. The scenery was realistic, the characters were beautiful, and there were many hidden plots. There were as many as 42 male protagonists, including 12 main male protagonists and 30 secondary male protagonists. There were also multiple strategies and modes.

The game was highly flexible. Although the luck of the day and the possible male protagonists in the game were determined by random cards, the specific actions of the day were completely up to the player. The conversion rate between the game world and the real world was 24: 1, which meant that one day in the game world was equivalent to one hour in the real world.

Zhang Yongya said, "Didn't you say that you don't know what love is?

Believe me, out of the 42 wild men, there will be one that suits you!

You will definitely find the feeling of love!

There's no such thing as emotional loss!

It's definitely because you haven't found the one! "

Zhang Yongya was Shang Rong's best friend for many years. She was her best friend, a senior psychiatrist, and her most trusted confidante.

Ever since Shang Rong was diagnosed with emotional loss because she was different from ordinary people, she only had one close friend.

Therefore, Shang Rong couldn't resist the crazy recommendation of her only friend, and with the idea of using the game to cure her emotional loss, she ordered the full set of equipment for the holographic game according to the number on the advertisement given by Zhang Yongya.

"Wait for me, I'll be right back." Shang Rong stood up and waved at the camera.

"I won't let you wait for long."

"Sure." Zhang Yongya held her face and smiled at her.

"Same old rules!

I'll count to three, you have to come back quickly!

One — "

Shang Rong was already walking towards the security door.

"Two —" Zhang Yongya deliberately raised her voice so that Shang Rong, who was walking further and further away, could hear her clearly.

"Three —" When the last number was called, Shang Rong's fingers were already on the door handle, and she slightly pressed.

The moment she opened the door, she saw a young man standing at the door with a tall cardboard box beside him. He had one hand on the top of the cardboard box, tilted his head slightly, and touched his cap with the other hand. He smiled at her. "Miss Shang Rong, right?

Your full set of 'Love and Glory All-Stars' gaming equipment has been delivered. Please open it and check it before signing for it. "

"Okay, thank you for your trouble."

Shang Rong thanked him politely, took two steps back, and watched him pull the cardboard box in with a small cart. He then handed her a list.

"The full set of equipment, including the game cabin, connection cable, and memory, complete strategy guide, and smart service agreement." After the young man explained to her, he opened the cardboard box and showed it to her one by one.

"Please check it."

Shang Rong only glanced at it briefly, and casually signed her name on the delivery list.

The man took the list and asked her intentionally or unintentionally, "Little beauty, you're so beautiful, but you're still addicted to sex games?

Why don't you find someone in real life to fall in love with? I think it's much more reliable than fake game characters. "

Shang Rong looked up and carefully studied his face.

This person had a few strands of black hair sticking up unruly under the cap, and under the fine bangs was a pair of extremely pure black eyes. His appearance was very outstanding among ordinary people. When he said this, the corners of his mouth were raised with a smile, as if he was just chatting with an acquaintance and not striking up a conversation with a stranger.

After seeing his expression, she smiled knowingly. "Sorry, I'm still in school, so I'm not suitable for a real relationship. But —" Looking at his slightly disappointed face, she added seriously, "Can you give me your number?

If I want to fall in love, I think you might make me very tempted. "

The man was stunned, and he smiled bitterly as if he was speechless. However, he didn't refuse, and instead gave a string of numbers.

Shang Rong only heard it once, and remembered it in her heart. She repeated it completely and concluded with a smile. "I'll remember it. I'll call you."

The man left with a complicated expression.

Shang Rong looked at the pile of things in the living room for a while, flipped through the manual, and dragged the large but not heavy game cabin to the study to connect the various wires. She flipped through the guide book as she returned to the computer.

"You took so long to come back. What happened to the three seconds we agreed on?" Zhang Yongya sighed sadly.

"Do you not love me anymore?

Do you have another baby? "

"Of course I love you." Shang Rong smiled and replied softly. She closed the guide book and put it aside.

"But I'm a little curious about this game, and I want to try it out."

"Then hurry up and play it!

Contact me after you're done! "Hearing her thoughts, Zhang Yongya was very supportive.

"You'll know when the time comes. It's super fun!

However, different male protagonists have different levels of difficulty. It's all written in the guide book. I suggest you start with the lowest difficulty and work your way up step by step. "

"What's the highest difficulty?" Shang Rong was slightly interested and immediately asked.

Zhang Yongya didn't even think: "The lowest difficulty is obviously Liu Hao, Li Yibo, and … wait, you said the highest difficulty?" She stared blankly and her expression became exaggerated.

"Do I even need to say the highest difficulty?

Of course it's the leader of the main male protagonists, Ye Xiu!

Apart from him, there's also Han Wenqing, Wang Jiexi, and Zhang Xinjie … these are all examples of players who don't respond well to the guides!

I heard that the official forums don't even have a specific guide, only a general direction of development! "

"Really?" Shang Rong thought for a bit, made a decision, and announced with a happy expression.

"Then, I want to try all of these."

"You mean …" Zhang Yongya's face stiffened and she looked at her strangely.

"'These'?"

"Yeah, I want to try and do my best."

Shang Rong answered naturally — — her habit of challenging herself was a long-standing one, just like how she chose to major in social psychology when she couldn't empathize and couldn't distinguish between feelings.

"Ai, I can't do anything about you." Zhang Yongya understood her temperament, so she could only helplessly sigh and lovingly smile.

"If there's any trouble, remember to find me."

"Okay, I know you care about me the most." Shang Rong replied fluently, already planning to turn off the video call.

"Oh right, one last reminder!" Zhang Yongya hurriedly took the opportunity to get closer to the camera and worriedly reminded her.

"Don't let multiple male protagonists' favorability exceed 60 at the same time!

If you open multiple hidden dating lines at the same time, the system will probably have a bug! "

"I know, don't worry." Shang Rong looked at her and gave her a comforting wink. She raised her hand and clicked the mouse to close the interface.

Then, she stood up, completely ignoring the strategy guide book on the computer table, and walked straight to the game cabin placed in the corner of the room.

The game started smoothly. After the system quickly verified her identity, it informed her that her personality, appearance, and interpersonal settings in this world were all based on her memory. Then, she entered the login interface.

As soon as she woke up from the muddle-headedness brought about by the consciousness transmission, Shang Rong heard the system prompt in her ear:

[DAY1 check-in complete!

Today's luck draw is complete. For the next day, the drop rate of your bond card will be doubled!

Do you want to immediately draw the free bond card for the first time?]

Shang Rong looked at the vast dark blue void around her and nodded without hesitation. "Yes."

[Today's free bond card draw is complete!

Congratulations on obtaining Wang Jiexi SR [Before the Street Corner]!]

The system continued to prompt in a gentle tone.

[Entering the game, please wait …]

As the light and shadow distorted, the scene in the endless void suddenly changed.

Shang Rong blinked and let her eyes adapt to the change in light. When she looked again, she realized that she was in a crowded street.

There was an endless stream of people, and cars were constantly passing by. It was as if she was the only one who was still in the same place on the huge street.

Not knowing what to do, Shang Rong quickly looked for clues that could be used to determine her geographical location. Soon, she found that the license plates of the cars passing by started with "Beijing."

It was the capital's B City.

She immediately had an answer in her heart. Shang Rong thought that the system probably chose B City, which she had only been to a few times. It might have something to do with the "Wang Jiexi" that she did not know.

She thought to herself and quickly paid attention to other details. Most of the people were wearing short-sleeved clothes. The weather was hot, so it was obvious that it was summer. The sun had already moved to the west, so it seemed that it was already evening …

While she was thinking, a passerby on the side of the road stopped and shouted in a confused tone, "Miss Shang Rong?"

Shang Rong looked up and saw a tall young man standing there.

He was handsome, but his facial features were uncoordinated. Shang Rong saw the source at a glance — his left eye seemed to be much bigger than an ordinary person's eye, while his right eye was normal, resulting in the different sizes of his eyes.

"So you're here." The young man said and took a few steps closer to her.

His expression was calm, as if there were some complicated emotions.

"I thought that by the end of this season, you would have already left B City."

[Congratulations on unlocking the character [Wang Jiexi]!

The relevant information has been registered, and it will be constantly updated with the plot. Please check it in time!]

The system took the opportunity to prompt.

[Wang Jiexi's initial favorability has been updated. You can choose [Prompt with character] or [Hide]!]

Shang Rong blinked and quickly deliberated. "Please set it as a prompt with character."

[Settings have been saved!

Please continue your game progress!]

The system immediately responded cleverly.

In the next moment, from Shang Rong's perspective, a translucent heart-shaped bubble appeared above the young man's head. Part of the bubble was dyed pink, with his name [Wang Jiexi] and favorability at the top.
