Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 48 - 47 Foster Father

Upon hearing Wen Nan’s seemingly nonchalant words, Little Pepper’s upturned lips slowly drooped.

She gave Wen Nan a meaningful look, "You... are such a pervert."

Wen Nan chuckled softly.

He also thought it was a bit perverted, but there was no choice; the game’s main quest had to be designed this way, and he could only cooperate.

However, when Little Pepper heard him say this, the passion that was originally sticky and tangled in their embrace dissipated quite a bit. She twisted her waist to free herself from Wen Nan’s arms and didn’t mention being his girlfriend anymore.

Raising her hand, she grabbed Wen Nan’s hand, and the two of them tugged each other towards an alley by the roadside.

"What are we doing?"

Wen Nan asked casually, thinking that such an alley was quite suitable for doing some indescribable things.

Yet Little Pepper, although passionate in pursuit, had a mind as clear as water and had never thought of the things Wen Nan was thinking of at this moment.

Her fantasy of a boyfriend merely stayed at being able to kiss and hug her, being on call and belonging solely to her, and willing to accompany her—

"Going to the internet café to play games!"

Wen Nan: ?

All those indescribable thoughts in his head were instantly wiped clean.

With a dazed look, he was dragged towards the internet café by Little Pepper. Wen Nan still hadn’t recovered, asking, "Weren’t we just talking about establishing a relationship?"

Little Pepper didn’t stop, merely turned her head back, gave Wen Nan a mischievous smile, "Is there still a need to talk about it? I’ve already announced unilaterally that we’re together."

Wen Nan: ?

Can you do that?

"Isn’t this a matter for two people?"

Little Pepper asserted confidently, "For me, this is a one-person matter. After all, you’ve already kissed me; you have no right to refuse."

Wen Nan felt perplexed.

Until they were led by Little Pepper and opened a couple’s booth with a small account, sitting side by side in front of two computers, he started contemplating a very important issue—

There wasn’t much time left for him.

In such a place that was entirely suited for wasting time, how was he supposed to complete the main quest?

...

...

In the Qi Middle School campus, by the flower bed in front of the teaching building.

A girl in a loose school uniform with thick glasses and a ponytail, holding a bottle of mineral water, looked expressionlessly at a trash can.

"Miss, do you still need it?"

An old man, shabbily dressed and with dirty hands, collecting junk, approached the girl, pointing to the water bottle in her hand, and asked.

Yu Shujun looked the old man up and down with a cold face, said nothing, then turned and walked toward the school gate.

As if the old man was nothing but a puff of air.

The old man stood still with the snakeskin bag, watching Yu Shujun leave.

When her figure disappeared at the school gate, the corners of the old man’s mouth lifted into an eerie smile.

A red light began to glow in one of his pupils, and a faint mechanical sound emerged from his chest: "Target found, locked."

The light flickered twice before extinguishing.

After Yu Shujun walked out the school gate, she stopped by the roadside.

Her face still showed no expression, she just muttered to herself in a low voice, "No time left."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at an internet café across the street.

...

...

Wen Nan and Little Pepper sat side by side in the internet café’s couple seat, dual queuing.

During which, Wen Nan occasionally turned to look at the girl beside him, his eyes filled with helplessness.

The flickering light from the computer screen cast onto Little Pepper’s face, making her delicate features even more pronounced.

Her mixed-race eyes intensely locked on the screen, lips slightly parted in concentration, one hand frantically tapping the keyboard, the other furiously clicking the mouse.

She was showing Wen Nan with her actions, what it meant to be a true master of precise control.

A problematic girl, poor skills but a huge addiction.

These two words surfaced in Wen Nan’s mind.

He shook his head and laughed helplessly. He never expected that as the trial task was nearing its end, he would be playing games with a girl in an internet café...

This really didn’t look like a scene that should appear in a love strategy game.

"Why are you looking at me? Look at the road! You’ve hit a tree, no driver’s license?" Little Pepper shouted, her eyes never leaving the screen, "Give me an 8x scope."

Wen Nan was startled, wondering why a master of precise control needed an 8x scope?

"Hurry, there’s someone on the hill! Watch me snipe them!" Little Pepper urged Wen Nan eagerly.

Wen Nan suddenly had a clever idea and said, "Call me Daddy, and I’ll give it to you."

Little Pepper’s gaze briefly left the screen and glanced at Wen Nan, then returned to the game, "Big fool, are you possessed today? Why so obsessed with being my dad?"

Wen Nan smiled without replying.

Such a method of tricking the other into calling him "Daddy" wouldn’t be recognized by the system even if successful.

His final main quest completion had stagnated at 60% for a long time.

He pulled up the system’s countdown timer for the refresh point in real-time—

[00:59:36——]

[00:59:35——]

[00:59:34——]

Less than an hour was left until the mission ended.

Was he really going to fail at the last step?

A sense of crisis naturally arose in Wen Nan’s heart.

Just then, the game’s end screen popped up, and they were eliminated in the last round of the toxic zone.

"Crap!"

Little Pepper angrily smashed the keyboard, the mouse clattering loudly, drawing frequent glances from customers in the lobby outside.

She remained unaware, cursing, "What a crappy game, no fun, uninstalling! I’m done playing!"

Seeing this, Wen Nan suddenly had an epiphany, got it!

He smiled at the person beside him, "Let’s not play this anymore, let’s try something more fun, I promise you won’t stop."

Little Pepper looked skeptical, "What game is it? Show me?"

Wen Nan quickly pulled up the store interface and swiftly bought a new game, solemnly introducing, "Breathe My Monkey."

Little Pepper squinted her eyes and looked at Wen Nan’s screen, "A losing monkey?"

Five minutes later, after Wen Nan finished playing the game’s promotional video, Little Pepper tightly held his arm, "Awesome! Let’s do this!"

Wen Nan nodded towards the screen with his chin, "Buy it."

Little Pepper glanced at the price, immediately feeling defeated, "So expensive..."

Wen Nan: "For this production level, this price is very reasonable."

Little Pepper made a bitter face.

This wasn’t about being reasonable; living from paycheck to paycheck, she rarely had triple digits in her account, and now it was the end of the month, she simply didn’t have the money.

After some thought, she looked at Wen Nan, "Big fool, could I, can I borrow your account to play?"

Wen Nan raised an eyebrow, "...Big fool?"

Little Pepper immediately corrected herself, "Brother Nine!"

Wen Nan was still unsatisfied, "Brother Nine?"

Little Pepper rolled her eyes, catching on, though she didn’t like it, she’d go all out for Breathe My Monkey!

"Daddy!"

She clasped her hands in fists and shouted at Wen Nan with great determination, "From now on, you are my cyber godfather!"

9527: [Main Quest 3, Completion 100%]

9527: [Congratulations! You have successfully completed Main Quest 3, please head back to the trial area refresh point—your dormitory—as soon as possible to settle the task.]

Wen Nan: ?

This works too?

The task is complete just like that?

Did he...clear it?

Wen Nan, still in a daze, turned to look at Little Pepper, his eyes inadvertently glancing at the main lobby behind her, accidentally catching sight of an unexpected visitor.

Yu Shujun?

Dressed in blue and white striped school uniforms and thick lenses, the school genius looked out of place in the smoky, noisy internet café.

Yu Xueba stood not far from the entrance, unwilling to go further inside, glanced around, and eventually locked eyes with Wen Nan when looking towards the couple’s booth.

Wen Nan opened his mouth, intending to ask if there was something wrong.

But realizing the noisy environment of the internet café wouldn’t allow the message to get through,

When he refocused his attention, Yu Shujun had already turned and was heading towards the door without looking back.

The next moment, a message popped up in Wen Nan’s character’s chat system:

[Yu Xueba: Come out]

[Ye Jiu: ?]

[Yu Xueba: The agreement, now fulfill it]
