SPO Chapter 19: Gooseb.u.mps
When he got out, Yue Qiang received a strange phone call. The numbers looked a little familiar.
After he pressed the answer key, he was surprised to hear Rao Xiao Ting’s voice.
“h.e.l.lo Yue Qiang, I am the cla.s.s beauty of our cla.s.s Rao Xiao Ting. We haven’t communicated for three days already.”
Yue Qian was a little embarra.s.sed. He was busy for the past two days and he did forget this great beauty of their cla.s.s. He could only say, “You’re right, we haven’t talked on the phone in a while. How are you?”
“Yue Qiang, according to the principle that ‘men contribute the effort as much as climbing over a mountain to chase women; women contribute the effort as much as lifting a gauze to chase men’. I believe that we may begin the next step. Let’s start dating. Do you think this is a good idea?”
It’s a little strange. Rao Xiao Ting doesn’t usually speak like that, does she? For some reason, he kept feeling that her tone was a little strange, and yet he could not pinpoint what was wrong exactly.
“I have something private matters to deal with at the moment,” Yue Qiang said, “Why don’t I call you back once I’ve grown idle. Uh, I also think of you as a great girl.”
Yue Qiang did not mean to friendzone Rao Xiao Ting. She was the cla.s.s beauty and he was only a Diaosi (T/N: in this particular context it means loser). It was just that he had suddenly acquired some strange ability, and this ability itself was shrouded with many mysteries.
Although he had confirmed that the Charisma points that he obtained was real, for now he didn’t feel like meeting up and so chose to delay the matter.
“Okay, Yue Qiang, thank you for your compliment. Then I’ll be waiting for your phoning procedure.” Rao Xiao Ting hung up once she finished speaking.
What a bizarre way of speech.
Although Yue Qiang had never been chased the other way around by a girl before, he also knew that while a girl might act somewhat strangely and incomprehensibly in many ways, he also knew that a girl would never alter the way she speaks, even though she might act somewhat strangely or incomprehensibly in many ways.
He did not ignore it like the past few times and instead thought about the matter carefully.
‘Principle’, ‘step’, ‘procedure’… As Yue Qiang carefully recalled these keywords from his conversation with Rao Xiao Ting, he suddenly had the most terrifying feeling
The way the cla.s.s beauty spoke was way too standard. It was just like the standard dialog mode, just like… a bunch of sentences automatically generated by a program!
He might be walking on a bustling street, but Yue Qiang was now completely covered in cold sweat!
He could not help but recall his gaming experiences for the past two days. The in-game NPCs’ expression, speech and actions were all incredibly realistic and well done no matter how you looked at it, whereas in comparison Rao Xiao Ting’s speech was too rigid, even if it was to be put inside a game!
Rao Xiao Ting seemed to be even more NPC than an actual NPC!
Yue Qiang could not stop himself from following this line of thought, but the more he thought about it the more frightened he felt. He unconsciously quickened his footsteps and he went straight towards the fitness club without even taking his meal.
That Luqiu Duanyi always seems to be hinting something at me when she speaks, but whenever I try to confront her, she always goes off topic… she must have known something!
About this game… it can’t go on like this. I must lay things out in the open and get some information directly from her.
When Yue Qiang thought to this point he had increased his footsteps yet again. He had run all the way to the fitness club but his breathing wasn’t even too ragged.
What normally would have taken him half an hour on public transport to arrive at the city’s business district, took only him twenty minutes this time.
Yue Qiang rushed up the building with neither a blush nor a racing heart and once again entered that magnificent top cla.s.s fitness club. With a speed that surprised the workers, he ran through the hallway and arrived at the study.
