Chapter 139 It would be impolite to say that again!
Chapter 139 It would be impolite to say that again!
Hill was completely speechless.
During her long years here, she witnessed countless heroes and heroines, and devoted men and women.
Everyone who heard that commanding guidance became solemn, their eyes burning with a flame called "enlightenment".
But this man in front of me...
GPS? Manual?
In this man's eyes, is there any difference between an ancient god and a wild chicken by the roadside?
As Chen You looked at her delicate face, which seemed frozen in frost, a bold idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
Some games include hidden interactions with NPCs.
For example, repeatedly talking to a certain NPC hundreds of times might cause the NPC to draw their sword and attack.
This Hill seems so high-class. If I break her defenses, will there be... some unexpected surprises?
Thinking of this, Chen You's eyes lit up instantly.
He leaned forward and tapped his fingers on the counter, making a crisp sound.
"Let me double-check. This task has no specific coordinates, no minimap guidance, you're basically just figuring it out on your own, right?"
Hill's chest rose and fell slightly. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she regained that ethereal and lofty air.
"Words are inadequate, adventurer. When you embark on your journey, the compass within your heart will guide you..."
"Alright, alright, I understand," Chen You interrupted impatiently again.
"With such a poor user experience, you're bound to be eliminated by the market sooner or later. Doesn't your Supreme Building have a product manager?"
Product...Manager?
The vast universe in Hill's eyes began to fluctuate like garbled data.
Seeing her bewildered expression, as if asking "Who am I? Where am I?", Chen You sighed, looking at her with a disappointed expression.
"Forget it, let's keep it simple." His tone became serious.
"Given the significant flaws in the task guidance system, I, as a user, have the right to file a complaint."
Where are your customer service channels? Or you could give me an email address to report bugs.
"..."
Hill's fingers tightened slightly as he held the purple brush.
"As compensation for the inconvenience caused to players by the system bug, shouldn't we issue some kind of reward?"
"Like a ten-pull gacha ticket, or a few thousand gold coins or something?"
Chen You continued making his demands in a serious tone, "This is industry practice."
"Dear member," Hill's voice carried a hint of suppressed coldness, "this is the VIP building, where we provide the most professional service."
Chen You raised an eyebrow.
His eyes gleamed with a complex light, a mixture of curiosity, recklessness, and anticipation.
"Good attitude, they know how to protect their own brand." Chen You nodded, adopting the air of a leader inspecting work.
"But having the right attitude isn't enough; you have to solve the problem. If you can't solve it, then get your superior to handle it."
He glanced around the empty hall.
"Where is your building manager? Or are you the highest-ranking person in charge here?"
"If so, then I demand that you handle my complaint immediately."
Hill took a deep breath, and even the faint sandalwood scent seemed to become restless.
She forced herself to smile, though the smile looked worse than a grimace.
"Dear member, the path to finding the ancient gods is a test of the soul. Its 'difficulty' is part of the selection process, not... a bug."
She explained slowly and deliberately, trying to steer the conversation back on track.
"Oh—" Chen You suddenly realized.
"I see, it's the 'Souls-like' design concept, right?"
"Intentionally increasing the difficulty to amplify player frustration, thereby maximizing the sense of accomplishment upon completion?"
"The idea is good, but you haven't grasped the core of it."
He began to speak at length.
"The core of Soulslike games is 'grinding'! Although it's difficult, the monsters' attacks and the traps on the map are all predictable!"
"Players can overcome challenges through learning and memorizing mechanics! What about yours? 'Listen attentively'?"
"What is this? Is it some kind of mystical art? Or is it random numbers? Purely based on luck? You've turned an epic quest into a lottery?"
"This is fraud! I want to report it!"
"you……"
Hill felt his thoughts starting to get jumbled up.
Her art of speech, which she was so proud of and which could make even the gods listen attentively, was dismantled and shredded in pieces in front of this man, and labeled with a bunch of tags that she couldn't understand at all.
Souls-based? Backplate?
What the hell is all this stuff?!
Looking at her face, which had turned from green to white and then from white to red, Chen You felt reassured.
There's a chance! There's definitely a chance!
He decided to unleash his final, ultimate move.
"I'm a regular at the Supreme Pavilion, so I guess I'm one of your VIP clients, right?" He pointed to himself.
"Shouldn't you upgrade your services for core paying users like me?"
Hill's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.
"For example, how about opening a paid consultation hotline? Or, if all else fails, how about putting a 'May All Your Wishes Come True Card' on the online store? Price is not an issue, just name your price."
Chen You spread his hands, with an earnest expression that said, "I'm very rich, come and rip me off."
"Eternal...Ruyi...Card..."
Hill's hand holding the pen tightened.
"Do you think this is a wishing well?"
"Oh? Can I make a wish?" Chen You clapped his hands.
"That's great! How big is the pool? How many gold coins are needed to fill it?"
"Click—"
A crisp sound.
The penholder was broken in two.
Hill looked at the broken pen, then slowly raised his head and looked at Chen You.
Those eyes, which once held the vastness of the stars and the sea, were now devoid of any etherealness or mystery.
There was only a layer of frost strong enough to freeze the soul, and a cluster of raging karmic fire called "anger".
She squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.
"roll--!"
hum!
The instant the word "get lost" was uttered, a dazzling golden light exploded before Chen You's eyes!
Hill disappeared.
At the same time, lines of system notifications that he was extremely familiar with appeared in his field of vision.
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully breaking down Hill's strong defenses through your unique communication methods.]
[You have achieved an epic feat that is unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated—"It would be impolite to say that again!"]
You have obtained the hidden title: "Her Lips Are Sweet!"
Chen You: "..."
Goodness, there really is!
He immediately clicked on the title details.
[Title: Sweet-tongued]
[Type: Unique]
[Additional Skill: When you are not in combat, after hearing a certain sound, you can silently think "That sounds awesome!"]
The system will determine that the sound is "absolutely correct guidance," and you will instantly teleport to the source of the sound, regardless of space, distance, or obstacles.
[Note: This can only be used once per day.]
[Title Description: Sometimes, your words are more lethal than divine weapons.]
hiss!
Chen You gasped.
What... what kind of amazing skill is this?
Point-to-point teleportation that ignores space, distance, and obstacles?
Although it can only be used once a day, and you must hear the sound first, it is simply a strategic-level divine skill!
Used for chasing enemies, exploring restricted areas, or even running to a certain place at a crucial moment...
It's incredibly useful!
and many more……
Chen You looked up at the empty counter.
"Where did I send the NPCs?"
"Why did the chat session end?"
"Then who should I consult next?"
Just as Chen You was about to climb over the counter to search, a light shone again.
"The stars shine as brightly as they did last night. May good fortune always be with you, VIP member of Zunjin."
Hill reappeared with a professional smile on his face and his eyes regained their liveliness.
"This is... refreshed?"
Chen You felt relieved and then withdrew his foot from the counter.
"Uh, well, excuse me."
Chen You coughed lightly and decisively slipped away.
