Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Chapter 276: Chapter 242 Strong Elasticity_2

The task of map sweeping will probably have to be handed over to someone else.

Thinking of this, a round-faced little maid appeared in Wen Nan’s mind, and he couldn’t help but ask the system in his heart, "Where is the nearest role activation point?"

9527: [Given that all strategy characters in this instance have been assigned to specific camps, out-of-camp strategy characters cannot be activated in this instance, please be aware.]

Wen Nan was a bit confused.

No camp strategy characters can’t come in? Then how did Guan Ailin get in?

9527: [The character ’Big Big Big Big White Rabbit’ you vouched for in this instance’s identity is: refresh point building, not a strategy character, please be aware.]

Wen Nan: ...

It makes so much sense that he couldn’t refute it at all.

Sine he couldn’t activate Qiqi with the silver control pattern, then the golden control pattern should not be restricted by this instance’s rule, right? After all, it is the highest control pattern above the instance.

9527: [Yes, you have the exclusive character, Yu Shujun/Jun Wuming, with the golden control pattern, and after system detection, they are currently in a system-assigned instance completing specific tasks.

If you insist on summoning them with the control pattern, according to the highest priority principle of the golden control pattern, Yu Shujun/Jun Wuming will be forced to terminate all main and branch line tasks in the instance and rush to your side to await your command.

Would you like to initiate the control pattern summon now?]

Wen Nan was startled.

On a mission again?

Could it be that the instance inside the Divine Staff Sheath from last time still hasn’t ended?

It shouldn’t be, at that time, while he was pounding the clam meat, fearing that there wasn’t enough time, he specifically asked Yu Shujun, who clearly told him that their last main task would finish in just 3 hours.

By that estimate, even if Yu Shujun finished settling the task at the last minute, they should have left the previous high-level instance at least two hours ago.

It seems like they just came out of the previous instance and immediately seamlessly transitioned into a new one?

Why so desperate? Even in the gold rank, continuously dropping into instances without pause?

Could it be a means to avoid Wen Nan’s summon?

Could it be... because of the clam pounding incident, not wanting to face Wen Nan?

Thinking of this, Wen Nan had a feeling he couldn’t express inside.

Although he has already resolved that whatever happened inside the Divine Staff Sheath, even if it was an emergency measure, should be completely crossed off after coming out, and both sides should agree not to mention it again.

However, Wen Nan hadn’t had the chance to bring it up with the other side, and they already acted like a turtle hiding in its shell...

This made Wen Nan feel a bit uneasy, as if someone was lightly scratching with a feather at the top, both itchy and uncomfortable, wanting to do something but not finding a target.

Shaking his head to suppress these chaotic thoughts, Wen Nan headed downstairs to the showroom, deciding to first find his "Big White Rabbit".

Speaking of which, out of the three characters he can currently call upon, only Guan Ailin is by his side and can help him.

Getting the "mobile refresh point" to help sweep the map isn’t impossible in theory, but with Guan Ailin’s body now, having his camp card inserted in the front, D.U.D.U. chip in the back, and associated with the Divine Staff Sheath.

Such a big treasure, Wen Nan certainly won’t feel assured sending her out to sweep the map, if an opportunist captures her, he’d be in big trouble.

Thinking so, Wen Nan quickened his pace towards the first floor.

Just as he was nearing the showroom, a figure swiftly swept past him.

The person wore all-black attire with a cap, like a shadow quickly rushing towards a target in the showroom.

Their speed was fast, their appearance concealed well, and they had their back to Wen Nan, but Wen Nan instantly recognized them as one of the three suspicious targets previously seen at the door of the police office.

Realizing who the target the person was rushing towards was, Wen Nan’s heart sank, and he called out loudly toward the showroom, "Erin!"

"Nine?" Guan Ailin turned around smiling, following the voice to look at Wen Nan, and then saw the shadow charging towards her.

The smile on Guan Ailin’s face instantly froze, she instinctively took a few steps back, trying to distance herself from the shadow, yet the shadow pressed in with every step, eventually cornering Guan Ailin against the wall, leaving no room to retreat.

Assuming the person meant harm towards her, Guan Ailin’s beautiful eyebrows stood up, her face turned stern, and she stood her ground, countless tiny soul threads extending from her fingertips, ready for a confrontation.

However, the shadow passed by her without conflict and quickly disappeared from the showroom.

Wen Nan hurried to the corner of the wall and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Guan Ailin shook her head, looked in the direction where the shadow disappeared, and then turned back to Wen Nan with a puzzled expression, "That person... gave me this and left."

Wen Nan looked down to see a black card resting in Guan Ailin’s palm.

The card was almost identical in size to Wen Nan’s golden camp card, except it was pitch black with a faint embossed character: [Hide].

As his gaze locked on it, a system notification sounded in his mind—

9527: [Congratulations, player! Successfully obtained the key item for this instance—the identity information hiding card!]

9527: [Would you like to bind the hiding card to your camp card now to hide your identity information in this instance?]

Could this indeed be the identity information hiding card used by Yang Mingzhong and Wang Yajun, with only 5 copies in the entire map?

Wen Nan quickly chose [Confirm Binding], and the system notification immediately popped up—

9527: [Please place the hiding card on the front of the camp card to complete the binding.]

Wen Nan: ?

He has to manually place it on now, why even make him click confirm?

Besides... that camp card, having finally hidden it in such a place, it’s going to be brought out once more within such a short time, the "mobile refresh point" probably can’t take it, right?

Seeing him staring at the black card in her palm with a changing expression, Guan Ailin couldn’t help but ask, "Nine, what’s wrong, is there a problem with this card?"

Wen Nan briefly repeated the system’s operation instructions to Guan Ailin and voiced his concern.

Guan Ailin’s face immediately flushed, her eyelashes lowered, and she softly said, "It’s okay, the new material from Snow Mountain Villa, I don’t know what it’s made of, but it’s elastic, stretchy, and ductile, it’s not that easy to break..."

Hearing "elasticity" and "stretchability," Wen Nan was slightly stunned.

Guan Ailin had already taken his hand and was leading him to the end of the hallway, towards the restroom.

At this hour, students from the Life Sciences Institute were gradually heading to the cafeteria for meals, and the surrounding area was empty. After confirming no one was in the restroom, the two stepped into a cubicle and locked the door.

Wen Nan prepared himself, and activated the refresh point.

The black card for hiding identity, had to be perfectly aligned on the golden camp card to initiate binding, Wen Nan adjusted the angle seriously, leaving temporarily no room for other considerations.

Guan Ailin frowned, biting her lower lip, her hand clutched the cuff of Wen Nan’s sleeve so tightly her knuckles turned white, her toes curled in reflex, but due to the fear someone outside might hear, she remained silent, her breathing growing heavier.

9527: [Congratulations, player! Successfully completed the binding of the hiding card to the camp card!]

9527: [Please enter your refresh point to complete player identity confirmation and account binding to finalize the identity information hiding.]

Seeing the prompt appear before him, Wen Nan exhaled a sigh of relief, leaned forward intending to kiss Guan Ailin as before.

However, just as his lips were about to touch the other’s rosy lips, Guan Ailin turned her face away, evading him.

Wen Nan paused, "What’s wrong?"

Guan Ailin stubbornly refused to kiss, softly complaining, "Not this way... do it differently..."

Wen Nan was momentarily taken aback, then after a pause, chuckled lightly and kissed her cheek gently, "Alright."
