Chapter 1196 Solo

Christmas Eve, evening, 11:30.

Feng Bujue logged into Horror Paradise in sleep mode.

After going online, he still looked at the friend list first, and found that... except for himself, An Yueqin was the only one online in the club.

Seeing that the other party was not in the "game" state, Feng Bujue immediately sent a communication request.

"Eh? You are online quite early." Two seconds later, An Yueqin's voice sounded from the communication channel, "Have you finished writing the manuscript?"

"Hey, hey... Why do you bring this up?" Although he didn't talk to the other party face to face, Brother Jue still instinctively rolled his eyes and replied, "I haven't delayed writing for several months, right?"

"Okay, I won't rush you." An Yueqin smiled and responded, and then said, "But... seriously, you shouldn't be online so early today, right?"

"Why not?" Feng Bujue asked in return.

"You and Ruoyu... don't you have any activities?" An Yueqin asked suspiciously, "Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling have already said hello and said they won't be on duty today."

"Oh... you are asking about this." Brother Jue read, "Activities... are..." For some reason, his tone sounded a little unhappy, "Today at noon, I went out to eat with her, and in the afternoon, she drove me to several sales offices to check the market..."

"Huh?" An Yueqin was stunned, "You two... chose December 24th to go house hunting?"

"What's wrong with this date?" Feng Bujue said, "It's not a national holiday... Besides, even if it is a national holiday, the sales office usually doesn't rest."

"Hehe... Hehe..." An Yueqin laughed dryly a few times, "Okay... After all, I am a normal person, and the way you get along with each other... is not something that mortals like us can understand."

"So... normal people, do you want to queue up together?" Feng Bujue asked.

"Just the two of us?" An Yueqin replied, "Where's Ruoyu?"

"She's sleeping in my room now." Feng Bujue showed obvious displeasure when answering this question, "And I... lie in the only game cabin in my house."

"I always feel that there are a lot of loopholes in your answer..." An Yueqin also heard some subtle information from this sentence.

"To put it simply, she stayed in my room tonight to cooperate with her parents' 'two-person world'." Feng Bujue said, "Anyway, her family is relieved to be with me."

"Although I don't know if I should say this..." An Yueqin seemed to have thought of something and reminded, "But I still have to ask one question - on such a special day, with such a rare opportunity... you just come online to play games, is it really okay?" She paused, "Don't you try to knock on the door or something?"

"Ah..." Feng Bujue replied in a state of despair, "Obviously... the things you are saying now, and the things you haven't said yet... the ways you can think of, and the ways you can't think of... I have tried everything I can try."

"In the end, it all ended in failure?" An Yueqin could guess the answer from the other party's attitude.

"Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise, this conversation between you and me would not exist at all..." Feng Bujue replied hoarsely.

"Hahahaha..." Unexpectedly, a second later, An Yueqin laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Brother Jue asked.

"Schadenfreude." An Yueqin's four words... were used appropriately, and they well summed up her mood at the moment.

"Alas..." Feng Bujue covered up with a sigh, and quickly held back a few insulting words, turning on the anti-sarcasm mode, "I know, you are just using a smile to cover up your miserable situation, because you also logged into the game early on such a day..." He paused for half a second and chanted, "There is a saying - ask you how much sorrow you can have, just like a single dog."

"Yes~ yes~ I am a single dog." An Yueqin replied with a long voice, "But, I don't have anything to worry about; I came online so early today because I made an appointment with others to play the treasure hunt scenario together, so you can play alone tonight, I won't accompany you."

"Eh? Who are you queuing with? Take me with you." Feng Bujue continued.

"Sorry." An Yueqin refused decisively, "I'm queuing with the sisters in Hongying's team. There are exactly six of us, including me, and there is no place for you."

"Hey, hey... When did you hook up with the people in Hongying? And you have already called each other sisters?" Feng Bujue asked curiously, "Do you want to quit your current job and go to their place to be a professional player?"

"I'm just queuing with them. Do you think so much?" An Yueqin said, "Don't you often play with professional players? I haven't seen you join any studio." At this point, she paused obviously, "Oh, no, the news just came over there, bye."

Having said goodbye to Brother Jue in a hurry, An Yueqin terminated the communication.

Feng Bujue stood in front of the touch screen for a few seconds, and then... shrugged: "Okay~ Then I'll queue alone."

In fact, he didn't mind queuing alone, but he couldn't enjoy the team bonus of members of the same club.

[Feng Bujue, level 51]

[Please select the game mode you want to join. 】

Because he was not in a very good mood, Jue Ge did not deal with emails or go to the shock box to check out the goods.

He planned to play a treasure hunt mode scenario first to warm up and change his mood.

[You have chosen the treasure hunt mode, please confirm. ]

[Confirmed, the random number of team members has been generated: three people. ]

[You have entered the queue and are searching for other ready individuals or teams. ]

[Matching completed, coordinating neural connections, generating scripts...]

[Loading started, please wait. ]

The basic settings of this treasure hunt mode are the same as those of the normal difficulty team survival mode; therefore, when Jue Ge joins the queue alone, he will have at least one teammate, and at most five.

Seeing this... you should have vaguely thought of a problem: in this mode, teaming up with strangers is likely to cause some conflicts of interest.

On weekdays, in the team survival mode, similar conflicts are not very prominent, but in the context of limited-time activities such as "Christmas Treasure Hunt"... players will naturally become more utilitarian; conflicts when dividing the spoils, or even pitting each other during the script process, are not impossible.

Of course, it is also very simple to solve this problem, just get six people together to play together... most game studios do this.

This means that almost all professional players will play the treasure hunt mode in a team of six.

To put it more clearly, the teammates that Jue Ge is currently assigned to are unlikely to be studio players... (To be continued.)
