Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 101 - 98 I’ve Been Looking for You
Chapter 101: Chapter 98 I’ve Been Looking for You
Upon seeing the message in the chat group, Wen Nan was full of helplessness.
The blonde-haired brother he recruited into the guild, his thinking doesn’t seem quite normal.
Ignoring the other’s wild guess, Wen Nan stared at the chatbox floating in front of him, lost in thought.
In fact, Gu Jinxing’s idea was closest to Wen Nan’s—
The real clue to this mission was hidden in Guan Ailin’s reply, while the other five addresses were all wrong answers.
Firstly, Wen Nan’s date with Guan Ailin at the Crown Cinema was Wen Nan’s personal action as a player, not part of the main or side missions. This means that, in this context, even though Guan Ailin, like other strategy characters, had some built-in misleading answers, theoretically she didn’t have to answer according to the built-in program while at the cinema.
After all, that was her "off-duty" time, a time when she even abandoned her primary job of cooperating with Wen Nan’s romantic pursuits, immersing herself completely in the movie plot. In such a state, Wen Nan was inclined to believe her answers were genuine.
While at the cinema, she didn’t want to deceive Wen Nan, but due to certain restrictions, she couldn’t directly provide the correct answer, so she uttered that sentence: "You can’t trust a word a pretty woman says."
And behind this sentence, the inner voice Wen Nan heard through the Mind Reading Technique was the closest hint to the truth she intended to give—
"What the eyes see, what the ears hear, what the hands feel, what the feet tread on... none are worth trusting."
"Trust only your own subconscious."
This subconscious...
Firstly, it certainly wasn’t the so-called pleasure point of Wen Nan himself, as guessed by the blonde-haired brother.
That was completely baseless talk.
Wen Nan, who had seen countless films, with theory and practice going hand in hand and a very accommodating nature, had so many pleasure points that they were innumerable.
The key clue this time, Wen Nan thought, lay in the eye-ear-hand-foot sentence, while the critical point... was on the word "you" in the second sentence.
Thinking this, Wen Nan continued to send messages in the group—
[Nine: Why did Guan Ailin use ’you all’ in her inner thoughts, and not just a single ’you’?]
[FireFireFire: Is there a difference?]
[Little Fu: Yes, although both are in the second person, one is singular and the other is plural]
[FireFireFire: (͡°ᴥ͡°ʋ)]
[FireFireFire: Do you think I look stupid?]
[Yao: Quite stupid, actually]
[FireFireFire: Screw off]
[FireFireFire: No, what’s the problem with singular or plural, could just be a casual slip of the tongue, isn’t it normal]
[FireFireFire: I sometimes like to say, my little brother and I both feel comfortable, but I’m not referring to two people either]
[Yao: Your brain is smaller than your little brother’s head, don’t compare yourself with the big boss]
[FireFireFire: Damn, can we still chat properly]
[Jinxing: Does the chairman mean that Guan Ailin’s words refer not to the chairman himself, but to the group behind the chairman?]
[Nine: Yes]
[Yao: The group behind the chairman? Which group?]
[FireFireFire: Who else! Obviously, it’s our Wenna Guild! Haha, you fool! Is your brain smaller than my head?]
[Yao: Idiot]
[FireFireFire: Who are you calling an idiot]
[Yao: Calling you]
[FireFireFire: Then you’re admitting you’re an idiot]
[User ’Yao’ has been muted by the group owner for 1 minute]
[User ’FireFireFire’ has been muted by the group owner for 1 minute]
[Nine: I think, she’s not just talking about our guild, but all the players]
[Jinxing: The place players most want to go in their subconscious?]
[Nine: Right]

While sending messages in the guild’s core group, Wen Nan slowly walked to the center of the living room outside.
Looking around, he found that the living room of the apartment he rented was so empty it could be described as bare.
The last time he came, was this room already this empty, with no furniture at all?
After scanning each corner, Wen Nan instinctively looked for Yu Shujun but found nothing.
It seemed that since the date at the cinema, he hadn’t seen that person, not knowing where he went or if he was hiding, not wanting to show up?
Wen Nan shrugged, not taking it to heart.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Wen Nan brought out the chat group from the system again, looked over, and was taken aback.
He had paved the way long ago, analyzing everything in detail, only to throw out a "right" with no follow-up, deliberately trying to leave a cliffhanger.
One could show he, the chairman, was unpredictable, and also wanted to see how the others would react, testing these new members he recruited to see if anyone could think of the answer from the hints he gave.
However, when he opened the chat group, he found that the chat stopped at the last "right" word he sent out.
So much time had passed, yet no one had followed up?
This made him look so silly.
Forget it, just finish the talk myself, there’s not much time left for this mission, no time to keep dragging it out.
Failing to show off, Wen Nan wasn’t too concerned, shrugged, and quickly sent a message in the group—
[Nine: What the eyes see, the ears hear, the hands feel, the feet tread on... none are worth trusting.]
[Nine: Since that’s the case, we should look for that hidden place where eyes can’t see, ears can’t hear, hands can’t feel, and feet can’t tread on]
Wen Nan had revealed most of the answer, and just as he was about to type the last sentence, he caught sight of a figure suddenly appearing at the door.
The typing motion paused, Wen Nan turned his head, looking at the figure, then froze in place.

In the empty reception hall of the Erin Group Headquarters Building, Gu Jinxing and Hu Jiayao were sitting together on the sofa, staring at the Wenna Guild’s chat group with serious expressions.
Hu Jiayao abruptly stood up from the sofa, pacing back and forth before letting out a frustrated howl.
Gu Jinxing glanced at the front desk direction, warningly looking at Hu Jiayao: "If you summon the NPC now, handle them yourself."
Hu Jiayao behaved, sitting back on the sofa, and said irritably:
"What’s the chairman’s aim?
"After sending that ’right’ word, it’s as if he’s disappeared and never replied again?
"Is he teasing us or testing us?
"Even if it’s a test, there should be a limit, right?
’It’s been over three hours! Not a single message?!"
Saying this, Hu Jiayao pulled up his system, checked the remaining mission time again, and became even more agitated.
"Only 43 minutes left and the mission time’s up! If the chairman doesn’t appear soon, we’ll fail this mission!"
Listening to Hu Jiayao’s complaints, Gu Jinxing stayed silent, but his face darkened more and more.

In the living room, Wen Nan sat on the floor, looking blankly toward the door.
A woman stood there.
The woman had fair skin, a slim figure, wore a white dress, had long hair draping over her shoulders, and wore a smile while walking slowly toward Wen Nan.
"You..."
Wen Nan spoke a word, then fell silent.
The woman knelt down in front of Wen Nan, whispering, "I’ve been looking for you."
