286 Getting to Rank 5? (2/2)
This time the system didn't give a response.
Su Yan straightened up and gave his boyfriend a gloating look. See that? Now you know how it feels to be ignored by the system!
Nie Chang just smiled wryly in response and ruffled Su Yan's hair. ”Seems like it doesn't treat me any better than you. It was probably just going for a nice first impression. Such a mean thing.”
”Mn!” Su Yan nodded happily and snuggled up against his boyfriend's chest. Ah, if this wasn't inside his novel but at home, this would actually be nice. Mn, it would be even nicer if he could send Nie Chang to the kitchen now and have him make something to eat. Some egg-fried rice would be nice …
While Su Yan was drooling over his boyfriend's food inwardly, Nie Chang had turned his attention back to the system. He didn't believe that they could only rely on luck to return home.
”System, is there any other way to return home besides using a dimension ticket?”
The system once again kept mum before spilling the beans. [The special dimension can be used to open gates at regular intervals upon reaching the highest level.]
”The special dimension's highest level? How much would Su Yan need to level up to get there?”
[The host needs to attain rank 5, 'Master of Love', to be eligible to use the advanced special dimension.]
”Eh?” Su Yan couldn't help but butt in when he heard that. ”Isn't my current rank the 4, 'Expert of Seduction'? Then wouldn't that mean I only need to get to the next level so we can leave? Yes!” Su Yan hugged Nie Chang and kissed his cheek. ”You heard that too, didn't you? That means we can go home soon!”
Nie Chang kissed his little darling back and rubbed his cheek. ”I heard that. But don't be happy too soon. Getting to the next level took longer and longer every time, didn't it? The last level should have taken you several days. If we're gone for that long … We'll have a lot to explain when we get back.”
Su Yan blinked. ”Why would we? It's not like anyone but us knows about the system.”
Nie Chang sighed. ”Do you remember what happened when you went into the special dimension on Tuesday to create the characters for your second story? You stayed there for fourteen hours. If you need several days to level up before we can go home, then how much time will have passed on earth? Today is Thursday and I told Lao Lao and Gong Gong that we won't be in the shop tomorrow either but what if your parents try to reach you? Or what if you still haven't become a 'Master of Love' by Monday morning and we don't turn up at the shop? People will start searching for us, the police might get involved. How will we explain where we went and why nobody could reach us?”
Su Yan pursed his lips. ”That … How am I supposed to know that?”
”That's what I'm saying. It's good we don't need to wait for the off-chance of getting another dimension ticket but things might still not be that easy.”
