Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 2 Main Quest

On the public screen above, the prompt switched:

[Simultaneously select 5 strategy targets, the player must complete 5 main and side tasks. If any target strategy fails, this trial fails. If successful, the player accumulates 5 experience points.]

[Are you sure you want to select the above strategy targets?]

Having five romances at once and gaining five times the experience points?

Nice!

Wen Nan without hesitation clicked confirm.

[The rookie trial officially begins! Good luck to the player!]

In the dormitory, the remaining three new players stared at Wen Nan in amazement, as if looking at a genius.

Does he even know what he's doing?

Is there something wrong with his head?

Not only does he not try to avoid the ghost boss, but he also finds himself five ghost ladies at once? Is he eager to rush to his death?

"He's an expert."

The bespectacled man said, opening the [Community] tab in his player panel.

They hadn't passed the rookie trial yet, most features in [Community] were locked, only four windows were active.

Those were their four livestream rooms.

Just as the countdown ended, the trial officially began with a beep, the livestream rooms opened.

In [The Livestream Room of Jiu cilang], one after another, the comments rolled in:

[Here we go!]

[Let's see which new unlucky guy got the classic map this time]

[Holy crap! Did I see that right? Full charm points?]

[Whoa! Awesome!]

[Full charm? Is he planning to seduce the ghosts with his looks?]

[Talking about plans, let's keep it civil]

...

[Oh my gosh, check out the targets he chose!]

[5 of them? All are ghost ladies!]

[Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa]

[I've seen people choosing the wrong targets, but never all wrong options at once!]

[Isn't that just giving up one's life for popularity as a streamer now?]

[Okay, I'm following, I love this kind of self-destructive approach]

[Looks like this is going to be a speedrun]

[Jiu cilang, is it? Got you, see you in the audience seats]

...

Players in the trial cannot see live comments and can only see the live footage and real-time statistics.

And judging by the real-time stats, right after Wen Nan selected five strategy targets simultaneously, his livestream room's popularity skyrocketed from <100 to 30k+!

The popularity of the livestream room updates every minute, converting in real-time to Gold Coins and depositing into the player's account.

In those few short minutes just now, Wen Nan's account already received 20 Gold Coins.

And his livestream room popularity was still soaring, and the rate of gaining Gold Coins would only get faster.

At this rate, it could take less than an hour for him to buy the most expensive equipment in the rookie trial area—

The [Safety Bubble] priced at 1000 Gold Coins.

With this equipment, he might just turn the tables.

"Expert, certainly an expert." Watching Wen Nan's livestream room popularity, even the sports player couldn't help but marvel, "Isn't he a big shot using a small account to come to the rookie area to fish in troubled waters?"

But the chubby guy couldn't help but question: "But doing this, isn't it too risky? What if he doesn't last until a thousand bucks and gets wiped out..."

By now, the bespectacled guy was convinced Wen Nan was some hidden big shot, shook his head dismissively upon hearing, "Don't doubt, just learn from him!"

Wen Nan was still standing on the table, not hearing what the other three were muttering, only seeing their gazes towards him swiftly change from initial disdain and contempt to admiration and worship, leaving him momentarily puzzled.

Could it be that his maxed-out charm points are effective on players too?

[Ding!]

[A new player task has been delivered, please check!]

[Main task 1: Go to the appointment]

[Task description: Your strategy target has invited you out, go and spend a pleasant evening with them!]

The four players simultaneously received a new item in their hands—

The sports player's hand had a basketball, his buddy wanted to go play ball with him.

The bespectacled guy got a bar of soap, his brother wanted to meet at the bathhouse.

The chubby guy got a 9-point test paper, the homeroom teacher wanted him to go to the office.

While Wen Nan held a pink envelope, inside written in neat handwriting—[Meet at the small flowerbed by the sports field at 8 PM].

Looking at the time, it was now 7:55 PM.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Putting the envelope away, Wen Nan dashed out of the dormitory.

A chilly night breeze hit his face, carrying a strange scent of blood.

On the road from the dormitory to the sports field, not a single figure was in sight; the surroundings were silent, and Wen Nan could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

The only street lamp was short-circuiting, making a "buzz" sound, casting flickering light.

A figure with long hair suddenly appeared under the street lamp.

Wen Nan stopped in his tracks.

He squinted and the figure quickly faded away.

"Meow—"

A black cat dashed out of the bushes, knocking into his leg, forcing Wen Nan to stumble back a couple of steps.

Regaining his footing, Wen Nan shook his head helplessly.

A romance strategy game with such a grim style, almost like a horror game.

Could it be trying to use the suspension bridge effect to create a more realistic romantic experience for players?

Thinking this, it seemed the game designers had put quite some thought into it.

With that thought, Wen Nan quickened his pace towards the sports field.

From afar, he saw a girl sitting alone by the flowerbed.

The girl had a petite figure, with short hair cut to her ears. Her small nose was upturned, her eyes were big and round, with long eyelashes casting two gray shadows on her cheeks.

She bent her slender legs, holding a backpack larger than herself, her fingers idly playing with the zipper on the side.
