This couldn't be blad on Ren Suo. Yesterday, Bai Ji had rembered that due to an invitation from the Tactical Bureau, he wouldn't be free at all the next day, and the paper assigned by the education system was due on the 4th.
However, Bai Ji had already completed most of it, leaving just a bit of finishing work. So, Ren Suo slacked off while padding out the paper-writing process—a few minutes on the paper, then checking the forums, QQ, and the intranet, then scrolling through the comnt section of Ren Naiser's videos to see if any new "sand sculptures" had appeared. Pretty normal, right?
The main reason was that Bai Ji had written it so well that the remaining bit of finishing work gave Ren Suo the feeling of, I can handle this quickly, making him especially lazy. If Bai Ji had given him a paper that was only half-written, Ren Suo would definitely have buckled down and finished it swiftly.
The adage, "On a hundred-mile journey, ninety miles is but half the way," was a perfect description of people like Ren Suo. He was accustod to getting things done in one go, but if you gave him a job that was almost finished, he'd treat it as a secondary objective, turning it into work done on the sidelines of entertainnt.
Back in the day, when he would get his howork halfway done, he would then start playing online gas while continuing with his howork, writing a bit more whenever he cast a Skill or died in the ga. This was all because of that ntality—Oh, this ga is so fun; sparing so ti for your howork is already doing it a favor!
Moreover, Bai Ji had indeed written it well, so Ren Suo's finishing touches also beca very ticulous and fussy. He accidentally worked until midnight, only stopping when he realized he was running out of clear-headed ti, at which point he quickly finished writing and went to bed.
Going straight to sleep after work ans you'll forget a lot of things.
Ren Suo sighed and secretly made up his mind: no matter how late he stayed up, he would play on his phone for at least half an hour.
This half-hour was to give his brain a chance to regret and rember so very important things that absolutely had to be done.
For example, as soon as he woke up, he rembered that the part of the paper he had completed had quite a few typos, and there were many places where new argunts could be added.
But he didn't revise it, as there were more pressing matters at hand.
"Minor World, endless fun~"
Today's startup sound was slightly strange, as if a mischievous little girl was speaking.
Entering "Hand of Fate," Ren Suo blinked:
'Because 84 minutes have passed, Violent Energy has accumulated to the 16th wave (84 waves remaining).'
What does that an?
As Ren Suo was watching, the prompt changed: 'Because 85 minutes have passed, Violent Energy has accumulated to the 17th wave (83 waves remaining).'
It seed that being late to play the ga wasn't a problem, at least not more severe than the 'leakage of Despair Energy' in the Second Chapter. Relieved, Ren Suo opened his laptop to sort out his thoughts.
Firstly, just as the "Abyss of Despair" was about fighting the big boss of Despair, the enemies in the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" were also clear now—fighting the hundred demons.
Then, the prompt seed to indicate there were a total of one hundred waves of enemies. Because Ren Suo was 85 minutes late, the first 17 waves seed to have accumulated together.
In other words, according to the normal gaplay of the fourth chapter, Ren Suo was supposed to control Disaster Girl to face one hundred waves of enemies successively and finally complete the ga, sowhat like an Unparalleled-type ga or a tower defense ga.
Ren Suo was late, but the live broadcast ga hadn't sent out troops right away; it had chosen to forgive him.
However, it had accumulated that wave of enemies into the second wave. Then, after a few more minutes when Ren Suo still hadn't arrived, it had held back the first two waves for the third wave… It was snowballing, getting bigger and bigger, just like howork piling up daily over a holiday.
Being late was permissible, but the work still had to be done.
And according to the ga's usual antics, splitting the attack into one hundred waves was probably to accommodate the ga character's level. This was a 5-star ga, and Ren Suo didn't think the ga would divide one hundred weakling fighters into one hundred batches for him to chop down.
Most likely, it would divide a large group of enemies capable of challenging the ga character into one hundred waves. Each wave would probably give the ga character a bit of trouble, but the character should be able to power through.
Every wave of enemies… was it about the sa as the six Shikigami Onmyoji who got hit by the train yesterday?
Ren Suo simulated what would happen if he started the ga now: enter the ga, Disaster Girl encounters a large wave of enemies, gets killed, resurrects, gets killed, then the next wave cos, gets killed… What to do?
Ren Suo was thinking. He realized another five minutes had passed, and 18 waves of enemies had already accumulated.
Ren Suo answered a call; it was from Dong Chengling. He accepted the task: [Take Care of Little Jiu: Dong Chengling couldn't return in the morning due to an urgent task and entrusted Ren Suo to look after Little Jiu, ensuring she did her howork and didn't play on her phone. Rewards: Dong Chengling's Favor, Little Jiu's Favor (possibly already maxed, so no guaranteed increase).] Updates are released by noᴠelfire
Ren Suo was thinking. Then, he answered another call; it was from Zhao Huo.
Ren Suo received a welfare activity: [Zhao Huo's Seafood Buffet: Although the comic convention was ruined, life-winner Zhao Huo managed to intimidate the event organizers with his power and secured their prizes. Zhao Huo wants to treat the entire manga club to a seafood buffet at noon, and that includes you, you poor single pup. Reward: a seafood buffet al.]
Ren Suo gave up thinking.
Ren Suo went over to Dong Chengling's house, where a just-awakened Little Jiu ca to open the door.
Ren Suo helped Little Jiu brush her teeth and wash her face but refused to help her change her Clothing.
Ren Suo urged Little Jiu to do her howork.
Ren Suo played "Honor of Kings" with Little Jiu.
Ren Suo, having dragged down the elentary school student in their ga, gloomily helped Little Jiu with part of her howork.
Ren Suo took Little Jiu to find Zhao Huo. Little Jiu used "Enchanting Sound and Illusory Fragrance" on Zhao Huo, causing him to drop a 'Seafood Buffet' (exclusive to Ren Xiaojiu).
Ren Suo's Satiety 100.
While eating, Ren Suo sneakily played on Little Jiu's phone, logged into "Honor of Kings," and frequently quit mid-ga, leading to a 6-hour PvP ban on Little Jiu's account.
Ren Suo used "Adult's Ugly Mug" on Little Jiu, saying: "Little Jiu, you played too much 'Honor of Kings' this morning. The system knows you're an elentary school student, so it banned you for six hours. That ans you have to focus on studying and doing howork this afternoon."
Little Jiu didn't see through Ren Suo's "Adult's Ugly Mug," and her negative emotions soared by 999.
Ren Suo brought Little Jiu back to Dong Chengling's house, then returned to his own to switch on the Mini-World Ga Console.
"Mi. Nor. World. Its. Joy. Is. End. Less."
This ti, the startup tone was articulated slowly and deliberately, as if the console harbored a subtle irritation.
After returning from lunch around 2 p.m., Ren Suo glanced and saw that the Violent Energy had now accumulated to 98 waves—only 2 waves short of all enemies piling up into one massive wave!
Since it had co to this, Ren Suo naturally gave up on playing skillfully. He silently switched to "Rippling Spring Sounds" and waited patiently for the accumulation to reach 100 waves before starting the ga.
A bright ray of sunlight shot out from the screen, outshining the gloomy weather over Lianjiang. The urban setting in the ga dazzled Ren Suo—skyscrapers soared, the sun shone brightly, well-dressed urbanites bustled to and fro, the sound of cars was incessant, and large advertising screens on buildings looped comrcials featuring beautiful spokesmodels...
WHOOSH.
The next second, all the lights in the city's buildings, advertising images, and shop lights vanished. Concurrently, the sun, as if during a solar eclipse, was completely obscured.
The sunny, thriving tropolis plunged into the deepest darkness in an instant.
