Chapter 78: The Lucky Companion Player of the Unlucky Villain

Song Chuyi raised an eyebrow, not disagreeing.

"Yeah, I've always been lucky."

A smile flickered in his eyes, and the light that fell into them shone like stars.

Duan Tianhe was silent for two seconds, as if pondering something.

After a while, he asked, "Would you mind having an extra roommate?"

Song Chuyi: ?

Before he could answer, Duan Tianhe quickly let go of his hand.

"Sorry, that was too presumptuous of me."

He walked briskly ahead, saying, "Get some rest early."

Without any pause, he opened the door and went inside, his actions smooth and without hesitation.

Song Chuyi, looking at the empty corridor, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What a troubled little dog."

He walked home with a relaxed pace.

The house was a bit messy. The original owner, a shut-in, rarely tidied up, so it was in a state of disarray.

Song Chuyi couldn't stand it and quickly started cleaning up.

Two hours later, Song Chuyi, looking at the refreshed room, collapsed satisfied on the sofa.

His phone vibrated twice, indicating an incoming message.

Picking it up, he saw that it was from Duan Tianhe, and not just one message but several.

Scrolling up, there were at least ten messages.

"Asleep?"

"Or playing games with someone?"

"200 a round, want to play?"

……

"1000 a round."

"Really asleep?"

"Alright then, good night."

The last message was just a "good night," sent a minute ago. It was already 2 AM.

Was Duan Tianhe not sleeping?

Leaning on the sofa, Song Chuyi pondered but decided not to reply.

He could stay up, but Duan Tianhe needed sleep. If he didn't reply, Duan might fall asleep soon.

If he did reply, he might really end up staying awake all night.

Song Chuyi stretched and thought about what to do next.

He had no idea how Duan Tianhe would destroy the world, let alone how to stop him.

The only thing he could think of was to make Duan Tianhe less unlucky.

It seemed he needed to spend more time with him and first make him realize just how lucky he was!

Song Chuyi made up his mind and started looking up games in this world.

Since he was a companion player, he naturally had to start with games.

To his delight, the games in this world were well-made, especially those involving probability, which were very popular in the market.

After much consideration, he chose the top-downloaded game, "Awaited Love." With such high downloads, it had to be fun!

Not noticing a line of text under "Awaited Love," Song Chuyi, who hadn't read the description, missed the note: "Boys' Love Edition (BL)."

It was a game centered on romantic fantasies, where players triggered storylines by drawing cards to pursue NPCs.

Unlike other games, this one had a team mode, allowing players to create a character to embody in the NPC's story. Teammates could draw cards to unlock dialogues with the NPC.

This mode was only available to those who recharged over a million, so it wasn't widely known.

Naturally, Song Chuyi didn't know about this hidden feature.

The next day, excitedly, he recommended the game to Duan Tianhe.

"Boss, this game looks really fun! Want to play together?"

Duan Tianhe quickly searched for "Awaited Love," read its rules and strategies, and found the hidden feature in the official announcement.

With money to spare, Duan Tianhe recharged a million and soon created a character named "Tiantian." He then messaged Song Chuyi.

"I've downloaded it. What's your in-game name?"

Song Chuyi: "A'Chu."

On his phone, Duan Tianhe quickly clicked a few times, entered the name "A'Chu," and directly invited him to team up.

In the next room, Song Chuyi had just logged into the game when he saw the team invitation.

Never having played such a game, he instinctively accepted it, seeing an NPC with a handsome face named [Tiantian]. He couldn't help but mutter, "This game's naming is so unimaginative."

Tiantian... it sounds like a pet dog.

Song Chuyi casually complained but didn't think much of it, unaware that the dog-like name was chosen by the unlucky villain.

After accepting the invitation, Song Chuyi found it to be a single-player strategy game.

His eyes flickered, and he sent a message to Duan Tianhe.

"Boss, this seems like a single-player game. How about we also use voice chat while playing?"

Seeing this message, Duan Tianhe lightly raised an eyebrow.

The little companion player seemed unaware that this game could be team-played. What did he think of the invitation?

An NPC's invitation?

Duan Tianhe narrowed his eyes slightly but didn't plan to reveal this.

He replied with a simple "okay," and the voice call came in immediately.

"Hello, boss?" came the clear voice of a young man over the phone.

Duan Tianhe pressed his lips together, lowering his voice, "I'm here."

"Boss, I'm about to draw a card. The first storyline is unknown, how about we draw together?"

Duan Tianhe looked at his character and responded with a soft "mm."

He didn't need to draw cards; after all, with a recharge of a million, he had some privileges.

He just needed to wait for the little companion player to draw an SSR card and then accompany him through the storyline.

Soon, Song Chuyi's voice came through the phone.

"Wow, the first card is an SSR!"

The little companion player showed off his good luck, smug yet genuinely cute.

Duan Tianhe lightly curled his lips, "Impressive."

A message popped up on the game interface, "The opponent has unlocked an SSR storyline, would you like to spend 100 gems to unlock the rehearsal?"

100 gems equaled a hundred yuan. To interact with the little companion player in this game, he'd need to recharge another hundred.

The game shamelessly displayed its greed.

Fortunately, he had plenty of money recently, so a hundred yuan was nothing. He recharged and clicked to unlock it.

The storyline quickly popped up.

The first scene was "First Meeting." As an SSR storyline, "First Meeting" carried a hint of ambiguity.

Duan Tianhe looked at the character representing the little companion player cautiously approaching his own, his lips curving slightly.

The voice on the phone was reading the lines.

"You step into the elevator, somewhat surprised to see Tiantian enter."

"He perfectly matches your aesthetic, handsome and tall. You can't help but sneak a few more glances."

……

Duan Tianhe suddenly recalled his first meeting with the little companion player last night.

They had also been in an elevator. The little companion player's exposed calves were fair and glowing, and his toes were adorably pink. For a moment, he even wondered what it would feel like to step on them.

He suddenly looked down, examining them closely, and with a hint of disdain, lightly clicked his tongue.

"Naughty dog."

Just thinking about it stirred a reaction.
