The mirror was very unhappy, swaying back and forth as he did his utmost to rub against Xing Ye’s body.
Xing Ye noticed his actions and picked the mirror up, which comforted the little mirror a little.
It was a grumpy mirror who wanted to be coaxed. That little temper of his was seriously cute.
This was the first ti Xing Ye grew curious about what the mirror looked like. A face so incredibly beautiful that it was even recognized by the system- what would that look like?
However, he didn’t dare to ask. If it was sothing that he wasn’t allowed to know yet, it might cause the little mirror to be snatched away by the system.
“When I helped Lin Jingxue pass on today, the system said I finished a side quest, awarding
with 5000 points and a very special QR code. It’s called “Peaceful Spirit’s Tune”, a rare, prolonged mood-influencing QR code that can be superimposed onto other QR codes. To deal with Bai Xu and Liu Muqing, I used my initial skill, Redrawing Pen, to make copies of Peaceful Spirit’s Tune with half of the original’s effects.”
Xing Ye always acted according to logic. Since he couldn’t ask, he would just guide the little mirror to say it. If he could say it, it ant that Xing Ye was allowed to know it.
The little mirror gasped in surprise when he heard Xing Ye explain Redrawing Pen. “Your ability is just as strong as mine. Nice, that ans following you isn’t a total embarrassnt.”
“Considering both our abilities, if there was sobody that had both of them, that person would probably be invincible.” Xing Ye said, “Otherworldly Beauty costs 50 points and would leave the opponent unable to attack for an hour. Redrawing Pen could use this ti to draw an attack type QR code. As long as we have enough points, we can beat anybody.”
“That’s true,” The mirror said in astonishnt, “But can you really rember that many QR codes? They all look the sa to , just staring at them makes
dizzy.”
“Usually not,” Xing Ye said, “But it’s possible with training. A computer science major can morize countless types of code, but ordinary people cannot. All fields have their own specialty. While I was in university, I joined a neuroscience club, where we, along with experts, researched how to use the brain’s full potential. The results we found were astonishing.”
“How did you train?” The mirror asked curiously.
If he had a body, his big eyes would definitely be blinking at him curiously, impatient but enduring, as he waited eagerly for him to answer.
This thought couldn’t help but appear in Xing Ye’s mind. If he and the little mirror sohow t in the real world, then although their temperants were polar opposites, they could definitely beco great friends who could keep in step with each other.
Xing Ye explained, “You can practice stuff like speed morization, sudoku, and reaction tis, anything as long as it’s related to exercising your brain.
“We were split into different groups according to our interests. Back then, I specialized in morization and focused on researching image mory.
“For example, if you gave
a paper with 399 大s and one 犬, I would only need a glance to morize which row and number the 犬 was on. It was incredibly difficult at the start. Nevermind only taking a glance, it’d take
a long ti just to find the 犬.
“But with ti, I was able to train my brain until I could morize it in just a second. However, I could only rember for a short ti before I forgot it. I had to repeat it over and over again in my mind until I could finally morize it.
“At the rooftops yesterday, with Cao Qian’s help, I used speed morization to quickly morize the three QR codes. I took the ti later when we returned to the class to morize it before I forgot, using half an hour to deepen my mory of it. When we got back to the dorm, I redrew them while you were blacked out.”
Xing Ye fished out a few papers from his pocket. He put the QR codes there last night before he went to the girls dormitory as a last asure.
But with Peaceful Spirit’s Tune, Xing Ye was able to save a lot of points.
The mirror looked at the QR codes with Xing Ye’s help and sighed in admiration, “How amazing. Then do you still need to practice morizing it later?”
“Of course I do,” Xing Ye nodded, “I can still forget it, but the ti it takes
to forget will beco slower and slower. Plus, if I just give it a glance, as long as there’s still so impression of it in my brain, everything will co back to . I can also use hypnosis and dreams to help
morize everything.”
“So it’s actually like that,” The mirror seed a little embarrassed as he turned around, his back facing Xing Ye as he spoke. “Then my Otherworldly Beauty pales in comparison, since it has a cooldown.”
“What’s the cooldown?”
“After an hour of use, the target would beco used to my beauty and it can’t be used again for another three hours.” The mirror said unhappily. Redrawing Pen was so much better!
“You can do a lot in an hour. Right now, it takes
five minutes to draw a QR code. After training, I should be able to produce one in 30 seconds. Say, if I had enough points, how many QR codes can I draw in an hour?”
“120?” The mirror almost scread, “Even if you only draw pianos, it’d be enough enough to crush an army to death!”
“Right, and I already morized the QR code of the piano I gave Lin Jingxue. Otherwise, how would I be as generous as to give sobody a whole QR code? I’d have nothing left.” Xing Ye said.
With this, he was also hinting for the mirror to recall situations where he gave NPCs a QR code. For example, the flower.
Under Xing Ye’s lead, the mirror finally rembered. “Ah! The flower I went that little girl was a sunflower! That sunflower looked really weird too. The pattern ford by the black and white seeds looked just like a QR code.”
“...Then that probably was a QR code. By giving an NPC a special QR code that you could’ve used, you completed a side quest and won 5000 points. Yesterday, it should’ve been the sa with .” Xing Ye pondered, “If it awards that many points, it should only take a few worlds to beco a high-level player. That should also be the ga’s purpose.”
“What purpose? Wasn’t it just because my luck was good?” The mirror asked sweetly.
“It wasn’t because you were lucky. It’s because, even in such a malicious world, you were able to hold onto your kindness.” Xing Ye recalled the system’s friendly reminder when he finished the side quest: Apart from strong props and being able to find the truth, to be strong, you sotis have to be a little bit gentle.
“I believe that’s sothing most high level players understand but players in lee worlds might not. If they figured it out, they would quickly be able to beco high level players and wouldn’t be stuck here for long. It’s true that QR codes are abilities and life-saving asures, but sotis, they can also be crucial quest props. That’s sothing Di Kuang’s group clearly haven’t figured out. Cao Qian’s partner as well, which is why they struggled in the lee worlds for such a long ti. It seems the ga worlds at this stage aren’t enough. The system’s true colors are sothing only high-level players can see clearly.” Xing Ye analyzed.
“I don’t like high-level worlds.” The mirror suddenly said.
Xing Ye didn’t question him, worried he couldn’t say the details.
Sure enough, after a bit, the mirror sighed dejectedly. “Ah, it won’t let
say it. Is it because your access level isn’t high enough?”
Their intimacy points weren’t enough.
Xing Ye’s head started to hurt. How would he improve his intimacy points with the mirror? Did he have to step into the system’s trap?
“Mirror, do you like ? Do you have a good impression of ?” Xing Ye asked.
“What a gay question....” The mirror mumbled to himself, “Although you really like to act and hardly smile, I know you’re a good person. You’d even choose to help
over getting to pick a special QR code, so of course I really like you!”
His honest words made Xing Ye’s heart quiver a little. The mirror was sincere, but because he was afraid of the system’s traps, he had always kept his guard against the mirror.
It was his fault.
Xing Ye thought to himself, “I think we need to deepen our affections for one another, or I won’t be able to know more about you. However, I can tell you about myself and let you know the… experiences I went through.”
