Unfortunately, Not a Grown Up

Chapter 3 : Hidden Mission

Ji Pianpian’s face was hot, and she almost threw her laptop under the bed.

Rogue, hooligan!

This is definitely not Du-shen, absolutely not.

Huihui is right, how could she meet the right god?

Who she met could only be a stupid1 high imitation account (rogue)!

Face-con’s world is as simple as that: Ji Pianpina doesn’t understand DuWo at all. But through that high fuzzy photo, her heart is already overflowing with the great god’s demeanor. He is a sacred and inviolable flower of Kaoling2 in her heart.

As for the strange guy in front of her?

Fake, couldn’t be more fake!

Ji Pianpian couldn’t answer his words, so she could only pretend not to see it. She clicked on the task panel and looked at her hidden mission.

The mission description is very long. Ji Pianpian glanced through it hurriedly and grasped the key clues: “The selected human girl… the bride of the demon king… stealing the dragon’s heart?”

The big BOSS of the Black Rock Devil’s Cavern is the current strongest version of today’s Heaven’s Cry. There were thousands of god level teams that opened up this dungeon, but none of them completed the kill.

The players scolded fiercely on the forums, but the game planners were still not being human. And the reply they gave was godsend: “Waiting for the destined person to come, kill the gods, and open up a new generation of Heaven’s Cry.”

Players: “What the h**l is the destined person, if you don’t give clues to Laozi3, the group will withdraw from the tour!”

But there are also soft eggs4 in the game planners: “…for example… destiny’s hidden mission?”

The players continued to ask: “What hidden mission!”

Game Planners: “It will not be a hidden mission if we tell you.”

Then? There is no more.

Even if the players made a fuss, the officials did not disclose any more news.

Has anyone retired?

Not really. After all, many players have not even reached the level of opening up the dungeon of the Black Rock Devil’s Cave.

All of these, Ji Pianpian naturally didn’t know. She was just struggling with her mission.

There is no doubt that the little mage she manipulates is a human girl. The Demon King is the big boss of the Black Rock Devil’s Cave. Her mission is to pretend to be the bride of the Demon King and steal the Dragon’s Heart.

She is a player, why does she have to pretend to be the bride of an NPC?

All right, it’s just a game, so it doesn’t matter. What matters is that she is only level 20, how can she explore the first floor to the seventh floor of the Black Rock Devil’s Cave?

She doesn’t even know whether pretending to be a bride is difficult or finding the Demon King is more difficult.

Nothing much, it’s nothing more than death, and being a player, you can’t be a coward.

Ji Pianpian turned off the task panel and walked to the second floor of the Black Rock Devil’s Cave.

As a top-level dungeon, there are many monsters in it, and the terrain is very complex. If you’re not careful, you’ll even activate the mechanism.

The subjugation team5 had made sufficient preparations for the expedition, and the twenty-odd people needed to cooperate with each other before they could even hope to reach the second floor.

Ji Pianpian’s newborn trumpet is not afraid of tigers, so she just recklessly rushed into it.

But on the contrary, she is not dead yet.

Is she lucky?

No… someone opened the way.

When she went to the second floor, the dark night assassin followed her to the second floor.

The monster pounced on Ji Pianpian, and the night elf raised his knife, leaving behind the monster’s corpses to pave the way for her.

Ji Pianpian’s mood is very complicated.

The scene of the night elf killing the monsters is smooth and natural, and his combo effects dominated the whole screen. A close up perfect kill pierced her pupils directly. Ji Pianpian watched it many times, but she was still shocked.

Black hair, and snow white skin. Snow colored sharp ears, scarlet eyes like a blood moon in the deep sky, looking ominous and eerie.

With a snap on the keyboard, Ji Pianpian cut off the unpromising pictures.

Awesome! This DuWo is not human!

Just after admiring him, a dialog box popped up above the head of the night elf: “Don’t cry, little beauty, hide behind your gege.”

Ji Pianpian: “…” High imitation account is so toxic!

It took Ji Pianpian more than half an hour to go from the second floor to the sixth floor of the Black Rock Devil’s Cave. Although she didn’t kill half a monster, she didn’t feel bored at all.

In one second, this dark night assassin was so handsome.

And the next second, this night elf has a problem.

Ji Pianpian: …tired!

Seeing that they were approaching the seventh floor of the Black Rock Demon Cavern, the level 20 little mage was somewhat inflated.

This dungeon is not as difficult as she imagined, the monsters are just like this, they die one by one.

Another wave of monsters rushed over. Ji Pianpian was promoted to level 20 based on his abilities. Although he is merely a high imitation account, his skill mastery is really good.

She stared at the monster’s direction, and threw out a freeze spell.

With a bang, it froze!

The dark night assassin paused obviously, then the dialog box pops up with a rare serious words: “The hit rate is good.”

Ji Pianpian’s mouth bends uncontrollably.

At the next moment, three more words appeared in the dialog box: “But it’s useless.”

Ji Pianpian: “…”

The frost melted away, and the monster that had ignored the little mage and rushed towards the night elf, opened it’s bloody mouth and rushed towards Ji Pianpian.

The speed is too fast, with Ji Pianpian current level, she simply can not avoid it.

This is bad, she pulled off the hatred!

In a flash of lightning, the dark night assassin stood in front of her. The monster’s attack fell on the thin-skinned assassin, instantly losing half of his blood in a second.

Ji Pianpian was shocked when she saw it, remembering that she had a healing spell, she hurriedly threw it on the night elf. But her level is far from that of the night elf, and it is useless to use it.

She saw the night elf’s blood plummeting, and was about to die, but then a red light suddenly appeared, and the black-clothed elf stood up bathed in blood, the dagger in his hand burst out with an astonishing light, and then he jumped forward. The dagger pierced the top of the monster’s head, then the special effects exploded, and a series of numbers crowded the screen. When the light effect dissipated, all surrounding monsters fell to the ground.

Ji Pianpian took a breath and couldn’t help typing: “You…”

The night elf in the battle-damaged state is even more frightening.

Blood slid down the side of his snow-white face, his pitch-black cloak was flooded with a layer of water because of the absorption of his blood. His dagger disappeared, and there were drops of blood on his slender fingers. The image was both beautiful and tragic.

Ji Pianpian deleted “Are you okay” and replaced it with “I’m sorry”.

She was the one who drifted and thought she could help, not knowing that her level 20 skills, even if they hit, were just like drawing feet on a snake6.

However, before her sorry was sent, the night elf said: “Hey, just leave it to me.”

Ji Pianpian: “…”

After all, it’s just a game. The battle was lost in less than half a second, but the night elf soon replenished his status and typed to ask: “Or are you bored?”

Ji Pianpian really didn’t feel bored at all!

The night elf paused, and was not serious again: “If you are bored, sing a song to your gege?”

Ji Pianpian: “…”

Very good, the three words7 sorry can also be deleted!

…

N is big.

As a century-old university located in the old city, the dormitory building of N University looks old and simple from the outside, with a decade of a century of aura.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the creeper8 withered yellow leaves, leaving a trail of vines crawling on the wall, which outlines a hard eerie ancient castle atmosphere.

Li Xingqiao wrapped his down jacket tightly and only went upstairs a few steps, when he heard the others, who came before him said: “Old Du, how is your hidden mission?”

The exterior of the dormitory is old, but the interior has been recently renovated. The master’s building is a double room, which is fully equipped with everything, and is more comfortable and less troublesome than renting a room outside.

Li Xingqiao opened the door of the dormitory, and was shaken by his roommate every day with three shocks.

In broad daylight, the blackout curtains were drawn to death, and occasionally a thin, not very warm winter light came through the cracks and hit the man at the table just right.

His loose black sweater and round collar can not block the clear outline of his slender neck and jawline. His high nose and black eyes reflected the light on the screen, like the deep sea under the moonlight.

Hearing the movement, the man’s eyes lifted slightly, and he glanced at the incoming person.

Li Xingqiao: “!”

Classmate Li, who had seen a lot of dramas, covered his heart, and said: “Don’t seduce me, I don’t engage in homosexuality.”

Shen Du’s thin lips uttered a word: “Scram.”

Li Xingqiao nimbly rolled to his side, and looked at his computer screen closely: “How’s it going, how’s it going. Is the hidden mission good, do you need help?”

Shen Du: “No need.”

Li Xingqiao is also a veteran player of Heaven’s Cry, so he could see the situation in front of him at glance, and he is surprised: “The mission is to protect the human girl? Is it so simple?”

Looking around, Li Xingqiao found something tricky: “This NPC is so realistic, it also has an ID.”

“Its you Pianpian?” Li Xingqiao said with a smile, “It’s like a level 20 rookie.”

Shen Du manipulated the night elf to kill the monsters that pounced on the girl, and he said with a flat voice: “A level 20 mage got into this place?”

Li Xingqiao: “That’s right, the Black Rock Devil’s Cave is an 80th-level dungeon. This is where the dissatisfaction in level comes in!”

Li Xingqiao admired the “NPC” that resembled a player for a while, then his eyes fell, and saw the chat area in the lower left corner——

DuWo: Little beauty, don’t run around.

DuWo: …I thought I would have kissed you to wake you up.

Li Xingqiao’s jaw dropped and he was dumbfounded: “So unrestrained Du-shen, even the NPC you will not let go??”

Li Xingqiao looked at Shen Du with shocked eyes, and his eyes were full of——

It turns out that you are such Du-shen. He absolutely never thought that their school grass would not love their flower garden9 but love an NPC!

Shen Du: “The mission requires it.”

Li Xingqiao: “???”

Shen Du did not say any nonsense. His right hand is on the mouse and his left hand is tapping on the keyboard. Although he was typing with one hand, his fingers were slender and the span between his fingers was large. Only the cold white fingertips fell on the black keyboard, and he easily typed a line of words——

[Don’t be afraid, stand behind me.]

Li Xingqiao blinked. There was nothing wrong with this, it was normal.

But when Shen Du presses the send button, the system prompts: [Sorry, your speech does not meet the system regulations, please modify and resend it.]

Li Xingqiao is full of question marks, what the h**l, there are no prohibited words in this speech!

Shen Du was not surprised at all. His eyelashes were drooping, and his index finger pressed the delete button, and changed the sentence to another one: [Little beauty, don’t cry, hide behind this gege.]

Li Xingqiao: “…”

Shen Du re-pressed the send button and it was sent successfully.

Li Xingqiao: “…” This can do!

Immediately after the accident happened, the little NPC accidentally pulled away the monster’s hatred. After watching Shen Du’s series of godly operations, Li Xingqiao didn’t have time to marvel at the bloody anti-kill of the first assassin in the region, and was violently shocked by those few words first.

DuWo: Be good, just leave it to me.

DuWo: If you are bored, sing a song to your gege?

Li Xingqiao turned his head stiffly and looked at his roommate. After a long while, he said: “Although it is a system regulation, your flirty words are too flowing and natural!

Shen Du: “Really?”

Li Xingqiao nodded like a pounded garlic: “You look like an old hooligan!”

Shen Du bends his lips: “Too much praise.”

Li Xingqiao: “…”

The author has something to say:

Ji Pianpian: There is a problem with this high imitation account!

Du-shen: This NPC is very interesting.

Later…

Hey.

There are red envelopes today! Send all messages! Long Changchang is rich 【shut up】

Sunnyshies: Pianpian is a senior high school student, and Shen Du is already doing his master’s degree. Anyway, there’s a five years different in their age. Ah. btw, the educational system (I dunno what’s its called) of Chinese is the same in japan. They have 6 years in elem, 3 years in middle school, and 3 years in high school. So by the time you graduated in high school, you’re already 18 years old. And I think you only need three years to graduate bachelor degree in college, So Shen Du (I think he’s 23) directly went to study for his master’s.

Also, if someone is confused, in chapter 2, Shen Du called Pianpian the wife of the bandit boss. This title is just a figure of speech as well. But the bandit boss is the Demon King, and Pianpian’s role there is a bride sacrifice. Anyway, let’s discover the details next chapter. I wonder how Du-shen will kill Pianpian. Since Shen Du’s mission is to protect Pianpian and escort her to the demon king…
