CHAPTER 1 (2/2)
Xie Xi reached out and touched the clearly legible handwriting. Suddenly, a dazzling white light exploded and before Xie Xi could react, he lost consciousness.
Everything happened so suddenly and the dazed Xie Xi seemed to hear someone talking to him.
“Xiao Xi…”
“I’m sorry.”
[The game is loaded and the quasi-world has opened.]
Xie Xi opened his eyes while his mind was in chaos.
“Young Master should eat well, your waist is too thin.” A delicate girl dressed in a black and white maid’s outfit said warmly.
Xie Xi didn’t bother to respond. He stared at the mirror in front of him, astonishment filling his eyes.
The person in the mirror wasn’t him. The facial feature were similar but the clothing was completely different. In the mirror, he wore a dark blue hat and a single shoulder cloak in the same colour. The inside was a stylish double-breasted shield with a tight waist and the hem was covered with gorgeous jewels. There were also black leather boots on his legs.
The maid pulled at the complicated cuffs of his shirt, carefully making it into a blooming petals shape. She sincerely praised. “Young Master, you are so beautiful.”
What was so good about this… Xie Xi pressed a hand to his temple and couldn’t figure out what was happening right now.
The maid said that he wasn’t in a pleasant state and asked, “Young Master, did you not sleep well last night?”
“It was okay.” Xie Xi opened his mouth and was shocked by his own voice. It wasn’t as hard as a man or as gentle as a woman. This voice was somewhere in between and slightly… feminine.
He didn’t notice that the admiration of the maid had turned into an explicit obsession.
“Young Master…” The maid whispered to him.
Xie Xi ignored her because of the words that appeared in front of him again.
[Welcome to the quasi-world. Please read the information board carefully.
Game Name: Love to the Left or Right
Game Summary: A sweet love game~
Main Mission: Live for seven days.
Side Mission: None
Number of Loads: Unlimited.
Props Carried: There are currently no available props.
Privilege to be Selected: 10 times the money reward, fatal injuries are painless, no death in the game.
The amount of information was so large that countless thoughts flashed in Xie Xi’s mind. Was he dreaming? Or had he really entered a game?
The game loaded… the information panel… and he was even assigned a mission.
Live for seven days? What would happen when he finished the mission and what would happen if he didn’t finish it? Countless doubts swirled in his head, making Xie Xi dazed.
At this point, the words in front of him changed. A highlighted line appeared under the privileges section.
[Please select the privilege as soon as possible. The privilege will be discarded by default when he countdown is over.]
Xie Xi suppressed his thoughts. Whether this was a dream or not, he shouldn’t be careless.
He stared at the privileges that could be selected. The last of the three options was the most attractive. If he couldn’t die in the game then wouldn’t this complete the mission? After all, the mission required him to survive for seven days.
However, if there was no death then why was there an unlimited number of loads? Why bother setting an option to be free of pain when it came to fatal injuries?
If surviving for seven days was a simple matter, why bother setting it as a mission?
There were many contradictions.
Xie Xi also looked at the privilege of 10 times the money reward. He didn’t know what the reward was but these words were a huge temptation.
Temptation was a way of blinding the eye so… Xie Xi made a choice.

In one of the dozen of underground labyrinths, the silver-haired man flexibly escaped the black mist that was exuded. “Damn, what are you doing?”
A tall man in black was standing opposite him. His appearance was hidden by the darkness and only a frivolous voice was heard. “Someone picked me.”
The silver-haired man made a strange expression. “This person has really good luck.”
“Yes.” The man in black laughed. “Very lucky.”
The silver haired man cursed in his heart, ‘What luck? Old Jiang’s evil games are famous for being in hell mode!’
He hoped it wasn’t a newcomer. He remembered that Jiang Xie had designed a novice trial with a S-grade difficulty. So far, no one had cleared it. No… Old Jiang just said that someone had chosen him so it must be the novice trial.
Well, he would ask for more blessings. “Lucky person.”
