Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?-Chapter 42 - 41 Count me in

Because of the delay caused by ’Xiao Wei’s Entanglement’ storyline, Wen Nan returned to the boys’ dorm just in time.

Upon reaching the entrance, he found that the other three players had already returned.

Shao Ling was sitting at his desk, still perching his butt on the chair in an overly effeminate posture. Even Huang Tao couldn’t stand it anymore, twisting awkwardly in his seat.

Only the chubby guy looked full of life. Seeing Wen Nan enter, he immediately rushed over, raised his hand to fan him, "Hey, you’re back?"

Above their heads, the light screen showing the main quest countdown suddenly started flashing scarlet.

[00:00:10——] ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

[00:00:09——]

[00:00:08——]

Timing is everything.

Perfect timing, not a second more or less.

[Entering main quest settlement period now]

[All players, take your positions]

Just like last time during settlement, a line of text appeared on the light screen——[Player Huang Tao, please confirm your identity].

Huang Tao skillfully pressed the [Confirm] button, and the next moment, the results appeared on the light screen——

[Player Huang Tao, this main quest settlement details are as follows:

Completion status: Completed;

Task score: 60;

Task rating: Average;

Extra rewards: None;

Chosen target: Buddy who likes singing, dancing, and basketball;

Target strategy score: 38%;

Live stream popularity settlement: 364 Gold Coins;

Live stream betting settlement: 145 Gold Coins;

Live stream rewards settlement: None;

Account balance: 668 Gold Coins.]

Looking at his task panel, Huang Tao’s expression was even grimmer than last time.

With two quests completed, his target strategy score had not yet reached 40%. For the last quest, to achieve the required strategy score of over 60% to pass, he can no longer just while away his time.

More challenging is the task score. Last time, he had 62 points; this time, it barely hit the passing mark of 60. At this rate, even if his strategy score hits the target in the final quest, his rating might still not pass.

Moreover, he didn’t even spend any of the Gold Coins from the last account settlement, thinking that combined with this time’s, he’d be able to buy a [Safety Bubble], but he still only has over six hundred, not enough.

Earning money, why is it so hard?

Thinking of this, Huang Tao looked wistfully at Wen Nan, who just walked in, and started calculating if he should follow the chubby guy’s lead by kissing up, calling the guy "Grandpa," and begging for a few safety bubbles so he could enjoy playing basketball in the next task?

But as he opened his mouth, the word "Grandpa" twirled in his throat, refusing to come out.

Forget it, kissing up clearly isn’t for everyone.

At that moment, the light screen switched——

[Player Wang Xiaoer, please confirm your identity].

The chubby guy stepped forward, easily pressed the [Confirm] button.

The results appeared on the light screen——

[Player Wang Xiaoer, this main quest settlement details are as follows:

Completion status: Completed;

Task score: 88;

Task rating: Good;

Extra rewards: None;

Chosen target: Conservative married homeroom teacher;

Target strategy score: 43%;

Live stream popularity settlement: 523 Gold Coins;

Live stream betting settlement: 238 Gold Coins;

Live stream rewards settlement: 500 Gold Coins;

Account balance: 3122 Gold Coins.]

Seeing the outcome, Huang Tao and Shao Ling looked at the chubby guy in disbelief, while he grinned proudly.

Indeed, with the help of Grandpa Ye, he soared straight up!

From last time’s 63 points, his task score shot up to 88; his target strategy score jumped from last time’s 9% to 43% all in one go; although his Gold Coins were slightly less than last time, he didn’t need to spend anything thanks to Grandpa Ye’s gifts.

As long as he maintains this performance in the final task, he’ll easily pass.

Thinking of this, the chubby guy looked affectionately at his Grandpa God of Wealth, his heart full of emotions——

Kissing up is gratifying for a moment, but always gratifying if you keep at it.

The light screen switched again——

[Player Shao Ling, please confirm your identity].

Shao Ling, with a determined spirit despite his weakened body, stood up and walked forward, pressing the [Confirm] button.

The results appeared on the light screen——

[Player Shao Ling, this main quest settlement details are as follows:

Completion status: Completed;

Task score: 69;

Task rating: Average;

Extra rewards: None;

Chosen target: Brother with eight-pack abs;

Target strategy score: 5%;

Live stream popularity settlement: 3,689 Gold Coins;

Live stream betting settlement: 2,163 Gold Coins;

Live stream rewards settlement: 5,200 Gold Coins;

Account balance: 17,665 Gold Coins.]

Looking at his settlement panel, Shao Ling was on the verge of tears.

The only comforting thing is that his stream’s popularity never drops, and although this time it got shut down halfway due to some sensitive content, his rewards were doubled.

Seems like the soap-laden act, though niche, does have a significant audience.

But, this account balance is utterly useless to him.

He doesn’t need a [Safety Bubble]; using a [Safety Bubble] means his eight-pack ab friend couldn’t get in, and would rage.

His two task scores were both 69, unchanged, and it seems as long as he stays still enough, his task score remains stable.

However, if he continues like this, he’ll never clear the level.

After the last task, his strategy score was only 3%, and after this task, it’s only increased by two points.

This strategy score, could you move a little? How can you lay flatter than me!

Actually, Shao Ling knew exactly why the eight-pack ab guy was unsatisfied——

At the beginning of the first task, he added 100 points to his strength attribute. When he went on a date with that muscular body, his strategy score had soared to 30% at one point.

But then, when his trial time was over and he reverted to his original form, the guy had sneered and commented "skinny dog" before leaving in disappointment. Since then, his strategy score hadn’t moved.

So, to satisfy the eight-pack ab guy, laying flat isn’t enough; he needs sixteen-pack abs!

However, attribute trial cards can’t be bought with money.

Thinking of this, Shao Ling looked at Wen Nan.

Gritting his teeth, he walked up to Wen Nan, held his hands earnestly, almost in tears, "Mr. Ye, are you looking for a grandson?"

As soon as he said this, Huang Tao was the first to jump——Since the other two were both currying favor with the big guy, that obviously meant it was a dorm culture!

So what was he hesitating for? Of course, it was better to join in.

Thinking of this, Huang Tao threw away his reluctance and quickly rushed forward, grabbing Wen Nan’s other hand, "Grandpa, if there’s still a vacancy for a grandson position, count me in too."
