Sudden time travel

Bai Leshui1, a student at the Academy of Performing Arts, will be a sophomore 2after the summer vacation.

His appearance and talent are both online3 and he found an interview with a agency during the summer vacation. Of course, as a student who has not yet graduated, Bai Leshui went to the talent agency for an interview more to gain some experience. As an actor without child star experience, you have to achieve some results after junior year4 to be considered.

Bai Leshui, who originally planned to just casually participate in the recruitment of newcomers as a formality, was chosen because his face was too good-looking.

In this world, does it no longer require talent to make a living?

Bai Leshui walked through the whole scene in a daze, and then, with the envious eyes of other people who came for the interview, he took the contract and left this well-known agency in the industry.

But that's okay. If you sign a contract with a talent agency, you can take a big step ahead of other students in school, step into the entertainment industry, become a great actor, and eventually reach the pinnacle of life.

————This is how it should be.

Bai Leshui was sitting in the antique room, thinking with a bloodied face.

Could it be that someone was jealous of his lucky life5, so he traveled here? Bai Lexui looked at the face reflected in the mirror on the dressing table in front of him.

The appearance has dropped by 30%, bad review!

"I clearly remember that I was on my way home..." Bai Leshui murmured.

Why was he sitting here in the blink of an eye?

[The game system is loading, please wait——]

A mechanical voice sounded, startling Bai Leshui. He stood up suddenly and looked around. In front of him was a mahogany dressing table, behind him was a mahogany six-poster canopy bed, with a huge wardrobe on the left and the door on the right.

There was a broken screen lying upside down in the corner of the ground.

The furnishings in the house were expensive and simple, and there was no speaker anywhere.

And that weird sound is still going on. 

[The system is being matched, please wait - System matching - System No. 1069 is loading - Loading successful - System 1069 is online.]

A translucent screen suddenly popped up in front of him. The small chrysanthemums on the screen kept spinning. Bai Leshui was dumbfounded. He stretched out his hand to poke the screen, but it came up empty. His fingers passed through the screen, touching nothing.

What is going on?

Bai Leshui turned around to leave, but the screen seemed to be bound to him. He followed him and stood firmly in front of his face, whose appearance had dropped by 30%.

After a moment of silence, Bai Leshui decided to ignore the screen. Anyway, it was translucent and would not hinder him from walking and seeing the road. He wanted to go out and take a look to see what was going on. So he put his hand on the door handle and turned it for a long time, the door didn't move at all.

It couldn't be opened at all, and there was no gap between the door and the wall. It was as if the door was just drawn with a pen this kind of strong.

"Tsk, what's going on? Who can explain?" Bai Leshui was very anxious.

The little chrysanthemum in front finally stopped spinning, and a normal interface appeared, which looked like the interface of a game mall.

At the same time, the cute little soft loli voice sounded: "A yā, the binding is finally successful. Hello, I am your exclusive customer service system 1069. I am happy to serve you."

Bai Leshui: "I..."

"I know, I know. You want to ask why you are here." 1069 quickly interrupted, "Do you know parallel world? A parallel world is a world that is similar to the original world but a little different. This place is a parallel world. There are a fully existing Earth ."

Bai Leshui: "Then..."

"But there is something wrong with this world. The parallel world originally did not overlap or intersect with the original world, but somehow, it has some intersection with the world you're in. Your world has no impact la. This world is no longer possible, its original system has collapsed, abnormal conditions are appearing everywhere, the fluctuations of microns have changed significantly, the time axis is unstable, the space has been greatly compressed, ions..."

"Wait!" Bai Leshui said loudly, "I don't understand!"

1069 was stunned for a moment and then answered cheerfully: "To put it simply ba, we brought many people from your world to join the dungeon and experience the scary and terrifying game. In the game, the various emotional fluctuations you have generated, are the energy we collect to stabilize the world."

Bai Leshui: "Well... I probably understand. Is this mandatory?"

"We have no way to discuss with you in advance. If we don't pull people over, we might not even be able to have a conversation." 1069 said with a hint of guilt in his voice, "We might as well just pick the right person and tie him up. Anyway, he can go home, we will give you a thank you gift when you leave.

And there is no danger in the copy world here."

Bai Leshui: "If I say now I don't want, can I go back?"

1069: "No. I suggest you don't refuse. Pulling you here is a 'tailwind6', and going back is a 'headwind7'. It requires a lot of energy. This energy value, well... we don't give it in vain."

Bai Leshui: "I understand, you earn it yourself, right." Overlord clause, there is an overlord clause even in other worlds.

1069 smiled happily and said: "Yes da."

Bai Leshui: "Tell me about that... game you mentioned?"

1069: "No problem. Ah, I forgot an important thing. Let me explain first. There are two different camps in the game, one is the player camp and the other is the ghost camp. You are assigned to the ghost camp o."

Bai Leshui:...Ghost?

"Players escape, ghosts eliminate players, it's a confrontation game. Cards are used in the dungeon to fight. Cards can be purchased from the mall preview or dropped at the end of the dungeon. The money to buy cards is given by the dungeon settlement, which is called here game currency. Even if you are possessed by a non-chief8, you can't get the dropped cards in the dungeon no matter what, you can still buy them in the mall with the game currency you have."

Bai Leshui browsed the mall while listening to 1069's explanation. In the lower right corner of the mall, his game currency is displayed as 0. Therefore, all cards in the mall are gray and cannot be purchased.

On the first line of the first page of the mall is the 'go home' card, the price shown is...

Bai Leshui squinted his eyes and counted for a long time, and then said: "One hundred million9 game currency?!"

1069: "Ah, the types and prices of cards in the malls of ghosts and players are different, and they will be slightly higher. Because it is easier for ghosts to get game currency than for players ma. As long as the character settings are not destroyed, there are game currency to get, even if doing nothing may even lead to being exposed. Players must meet one of the conditions to pass the game before they can get game currency."

"Character setting?" Bai Leshui asked, "What is that?"

1069: "The main combat force in the dungeon is NPC10, and is secondly assisted by people from the ghost camp. Ghosts are mixed with NPCs, and sometimes they disguise themselves as players. The dungeon will give you a character setting. Eliminated the players without breaking the setting, this is how to play. You can't attack people directly, you can only attack with cards."

Bai Leshui: "It sounds like a variety show competition."

1069: "It's a competition. In order to help newcomers experience the game better, the first copy you enter is the novice copy. It's very simple o, and this system can accompany you and guide you throughout the process. The subsequent copies will not be available. So if you encounter any problems, please be sure to ask them clearly in the novice copy."

Bai Leshui: "Are you leaving after it's over?"

"Leave? Why? What did I do wrong? Don't unbind me a!" Hearing Bai Leshui's words, 1069 cried immediately, sobbing with a cute little milky voice, "After untying, the others who come to bind the customer service system is not as easy to talk to as I am, so soft and sweet, I finally snatch you..."

Bai Leshui: "Uh...wait a minute, aren't you going to stop accompanying me in future copies?"

"We don't accompany you in the dungeon, but we accompany you outside of the dungeon a." 1069 sobbed, "After the ghost and the player leave the dungeon, they will be sent to a parallel earth to live together. Ah, I forgot to explain. But it doesn't matter, the novice dungeon will end fast. At that time I will explain it."

Bai Leshui nodded, digesting the newly received content, and looked around the room: "Where am I now?"

"This is the dungeon." 1069 said, "Newcomers will be sent directly to the dungeon, and they will come to the parallel world after leaving the dungeon. Don't worry, there are still fifteen minutes until the game starts, so there is plenty of time."

Bai Leshui: "I understand, what is my role setting this time?"

"Newly married widowed sister-in-law11." The ending sound of 1069 is raised.

Bai Leshui: ...what?

The voice of 1069 was very excited: "The first copy: Mystery of a wealthy family.

Basic character settings:

1. You are a madman.

2. You are a transvestite.

3. Your dingding12 is bigger than anyone else's!

In order to facilitate the ghost lurking game and avoid being recognized when going out to the parallel world, the ghost's face will be disguised by default after entering the instance. If you are a player, you still need to buy the disguise card yourself, which is very valuable. But your body and clothes haven't changed yet, so I suggest you act immediately and change into women's clothes. It's important to maintain your character when the game starts. "

Bai Leshui was silent. He looked down at the sportswear he was wearing, and then at the mahogany wardrobe.

The first copy of the game, you already have to fight like this?

***

Rong Zheng13 silently opened the mall interface in front of him and looked at all the cards carefully.

"Players, please don't waste any more unnecessary time here. The game will start soon, and the bus to pick up players will arrive shortly. Players, please be mentally prepared." The system's calm voice sounded.

Rong Zheng expressed his understanding and asked, "Why did you choose me?"

"Random."

"Is there a meaning to travel through this world and experience what you call a horror game escape?"

The system said: "Please don't pry into useless things. Even if you know it, it won't mean anything to you. What should be done is still done. It is better to pay attention to the bus carefully. If you miss it, you will not be able to reach the center map of the instance, and the player will be abandoned between the cracks of time and space."

Rong Zheng held his chin and asked the system many questions after he crossed over, but the system either didn't answer or was vague. Rong Zheng believes that there are three explanations for this. First, players are not allowed to tell those things. Second, this indifferent system doesn't know either. Third, this system... didn't bother to explain it to him.

No matter how you think about it, I think the third one is more likely.

Moreover, after several questions were asked, there was a certain time interval between the system's answers. Rong Zheng believed that he was not the only player managed by this system.

It feels like merchant customer service, one-to-many, and the response time is delayed, although it is not very long.

System number S3876269493. This number is very long and contains letters. I don't know if it is a sorting.

Rong Zheng: "What are the conditions for customs clearance?"

S3876269493: "There will be a system broadcast played after arriving at the dungeon."

Rong Zheng: "Can't we know in advance? Is it an iron rule?"

S3876269493: "... Copy: Mystery of a wealthy family. Player identity: Guest.

Requirements for clearance:

1. Survive for seven days.

2. Reveal the secrets hidden in the mansion.

3. There is a very special existence here. Find it and reveal it.

If one of the above conditions is met, it will be considered as customs clearance. "

Rong Zheng: "What does Article 3 mean?"

S3876269493: "The system cannot disclose game content and strategies to players. Players are asked to explore on their own. The bus is here."

Rong Zheng turned his head and saw a bus coming this way. It stopped in front of him, the door opened, and Rong Zheng walked in while humming a tune, observing the inside of the bus, especially the driver at the front.

The driver was wearing a black dress and a hat. He was about thirty years old. His face was expressionless and his eyes were unblinking. He looked more like a robot than a living person.

NPC.

I don't know if other NPCs in the wealthy family are like this, or if it's just this driver who has no more use except driving.

Glancing at the car again, there were twelve people in total, and he was the thirteenth. Some of these people had calm faces, some had frightened faces, and there was even a little girl huddled in the back corner crying. Novice copy? I don't know if all of them are novice players.

Rong Zheng randomly found a place to sit down and continued to poke the system, but the system seemed to have suddenly become mute and never responded to Rong Zheng.

If it was really the merchant's customer service, he should have complained long ago.

The author has something to say:

System 1069: This world is actually BLABLA. We are looking for you for BLABLA. We are BLABLA...

Bai Leshui: Don't understand, change the channel!

System number S3876269493: Don't ask, don't want to tell, you know it's useless, shut up, don't beep.

Rong Zheng:...

Why is the differential treatment so big?

T/N:

The little theater was written by the autor, I just write here what I want to say.

TBH I didn't throught it'll take me so much to translate a chapter. Although I'm mainly editing the mtl while looking at the raw to see if it make sens.

The one I edited the most is BLS's name, mtl keep translate it as Bai Lexui so I have to change it each times. But it's satisfaying to finish one chapter.

BTW the thing in italic is what I keep from the raw. Mostly modal or interjection that doesn't affect the reading. Think of this as the way of speaking just like some people have certain habits.
