Chapter 95 Mysterious Activities
Guan Cha arrived at the agreed location early and immediately spotted Bai Li getting out of the car. A bright smile instantly bloomed on her face, and she eagerly ran over to greet her, intending to take Bai Li's bag and chat with her for a bit.
Just as he was about to reach the car, his peripheral vision inadvertently swept into the car, and what he saw inside made his heart skip a beat.
Ah Hu turned to the side, his broad shoulders taking up almost half the space of the car window.
He frowned slightly, his eyes like a sharp dagger, cold and carrying a hint of murderous intent, scrutinizing Guan Cha from head to toe.
That gaze seemed to possess a certain penetrating power, as if it wasn't looking at an ordinary college student, but rather scrutinizing a heinous criminal who had committed a serious crime.
Just that one look sent an uncontrollable chill down one's spine.
Guan Cha subconsciously stopped in her tracks, her smile instantly freezing on her face.
He felt a chill run down his spine, and his feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, unable to move.
That invisible yet heavy sense of oppression, like a surging tide, enveloped him tightly, inexplicably making his spine tingle and the hairs on his body stand on end.
Bai Li didn't notice Guan Cha's unusual behavior. She turned around lightly, waved towards the car, and called out in a clear and affectionate voice, "Ah Hu, don't look so serious. I'll contact you if anything happens. Go to the parking lot and wait for me."
His tone was warm and friendly, as if he were talking to his own family.
The car doors closed slowly.
Only after the car slowly started moving and gradually disappeared from sight did Guan Cha manage to ask with lingering fear, "What...what was in the car just now?"
"Huh? You've delivered cakes to my house so many times, haven't you seen Ah Hu and the others?" Bai Li turned around, looking at Guan Cha with a puzzled expression, and asked in return. Then she explained, "They are my bodyguards, responsible for my daily security."
Upon hearing this, Guan Cha thought of Bai Li's excessively luxurious house in the city center.
Although I had delivered cakes there a few times before, I had never been inside; I had only seen the extremely luxurious interior from the outside.
Moreover, almost every time I deliver a cake, I can't actually meet Shirai in person.
The first person to greet him when he opened the door was a bespectacled man with a very kind face.
Guan Cha initially mistook him for the male owner of the house, but after several encounters, she realized that was not the case.
Later, every time I delivered a cake, the person who opened the door was dressed in the same clothes, but different people. Occasionally, I would see one or two of them wearing aprons that were only needed when cleaning.
Guan Cha realized that these must be Bai Li's housekeepers.
The fact that the family had several housekeepers had already exceeded his expectations, not to mention the bodyguard he had just seen with his own eyes; his chilling aura was definitely not that of an ordinary person.
He silently thought to himself: Yes, with such a professional housekeeping team taking care of every aspect of life, how could we not need bodyguards to ensure personal safety in all aspects?
All of this perfectly aligns with Bai Li's identity.
Guan Cha felt that she was really lucky. Bai Li was not just rich; she probably had an extraordinary background.
Guan Cha now has a completely new and deeper understanding of Bai Li's "extravagance".
[Guan Cha's favorability +2]
Guan Cha's favorability rating: 50
Bai Li glanced at Guan Cha, who was enthusiastically leading the way for her.
A question suddenly arose in my mind: Why did my favorability score increase again?
The favorability points I hadn't increased despite playing the game for so long a couple of days ago have suddenly broken through the 50-point mark.
Breaking the 50-point mark means Guan Cha's character card is unlocked, but it's not convenient to check it now. I'll check it when I get back after today's event ends.
Her gaze unconsciously swept over Guan Cha's outfit today.
He has the air of a well-behaved boy next door.
She wore a simple yet stylish white sweatshirt; the material looked so soft that it seemed like a gentle pinch would leave a mark.
Guan Cha's hair fell to her temples, its soft color shimmering with a brownish sheen in the sunlight. It looked exceptionally smooth, as if carefully cared for, making her appear both sweet and adorable, irresistibly inviting one to reach out and touch it.
Bai Li thought this way, and she did it.
She slowly raised her hand and gently placed it on Guan Cha's hair, her fingers running through the strands.
It truly had that soft touch, like touching the finest silk.
Guan Cha looked at Bai Li with a puzzled expression.
But soon a glint flashed in his eyes. Without any resistance, he lowered his head, making it easier for Shirai RUA to do so.
Bai Li then realized that her behavior had been somewhat abrupt.
Damn it!
What's wrong with me?
Why would you be so obsessed as to touch someone's hair?
It's not like it's a small animal or anything that you can touch freely.
However, the way Guan Cha didn't avoid it and even leaned her head closer just now reminded her of Sanmao...
Bai Li pretended to comb Guan Cha's few clumps of hair that she had ruffled, then withdrew her hand with a hint of satisfaction, giving her high praise while trying to justify herself: "I... let me see if it's a wig. Your hair is very well maintained."
Guan Cha chuckled, his eyes curving into crescent shapes.
He thought to himself: What kind of reason is that?
But at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little proud, and a smug little expression unconsciously appeared on his face as he secretly rejoiced.
Who could resist being touched by a super-rich and beautiful woman?
Guan Cha secretly glanced at Bai Li and thought that Bai Li was beautiful to a new level today.
She hardly dressed up and wore very simple clothes, but she was still strikingly beautiful.
She wore a pure white sleeveless vest that clung tightly to her body, and the clean, crisp cut perfectly showcased her beautifully shaped arms.
She paired it with denim shorts, which were high-waisted and had a slightly frayed edge.
This is Bai Li's little secret: she always felt that she wasn't tall enough and her legs weren't long enough, and these high-waisted jeans could cleverly raise her waistline a bit.
But actually, Bai Li was worrying too much. She would enhance her appearance every now and then, very slowly, but over time, she had already made some changes. She just didn't realize it, so she didn't have a clear sense of how beautiful she was now.
Actually, her height is just right for a girl, and her body proportions are perfect. Her two legs are straight and well-proportioned, and because of her good body proportions, she gives people a tall and slender feeling.
In addition, she has fair skin and a very fresh and sweet temperament.
It not only slays men, but also women.
The mall was bustling with people, some hurrying along while others strolled leisurely. But no matter who it was, if their eyes inadvertently swept over Bai Li, they couldn't help but stop and look, resulting in a very high rate of people turning their heads to look.
Guan Cha felt that Bai Li was glowing, and looking at her for too long made her dizzy.
Bai Li not only amazed Guan Cha, but also everyone in the club.
Few people have actually met Bai Li in person; most only know her through online events. Therefore, most of the people present were seeing Bai Li for the first time.
I'd heard rumors in the club that a very pretty junior had joined, and I was wondering just how pretty she was.
Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true.
It can't even be described simply as beautiful.
It is beautiful, it is great, it is justice!
As soon as Bai Li entered the private room, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Immediately, a group of people surrounded Bai Li, pushing aside Guan Cha who was standing next to her, and enthusiastically asking Bai Li all sorts of questions.
"Guan Cha, this must be the junior from junior school, right?"
"Hey junior, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet, let's add each other on WeChat first."
"Besides PUBG, what other games do you play?"
"Don't mess with Guan Cha, he's a wicked man!"
……
Seeing that Bai Li was about to be taken away by this group of ill-intentioned people, Guan Cha immediately took action and brought Bai Li to a secluded corner.
Bai Li sat down and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I'm not afraid of people being too enthusiastic; I'm afraid of too many enthusiastic people.
So many problems just happened that even she was overwhelmed and her brain was about to shut down.
Once she sat down, Bai Li noticed the environment of the private room she was in.
The entire private room was decorated in a rather old-fashioned style.
The restaurant walls were covered in patterned wallpaper, a style of decoration that existed in the last century, which Bai Li hadn't seen in a long time.
These printed wallpapers look old; the patterns on the surface are blurred, and some mottled yellow watermarks can be faintly seen. There are a few slight cracks in the wallpaper at the corners, as if they have been ruthlessly eroded by the years.
The dim, yellow light cast a warm glow on the walls, creating a mysterious yet cozy atmosphere in the room.
There was a twisted pipe on the ceiling, and the shadow of the pipe was projected onto the opposite wall by the light, looking like a giant octopus tentacle baring its claws on the wall.
Bai Li then noticed the table setting.
There is only one long table in the entire room, which is long enough to accommodate about thirty people.
A long blue checkered tablecloth covered the table, its edges worn and looking somewhat old. Paired with a yellow chair, the blue and yellow color combination gave off a whimsical and childlike feel.
The contrasting colors of blue and yellow evoke a childlike, kindergarten-like feeling.
At this time, only half of the people had arrived, and the table was not yet full. There were only some small dishes containing peanuts and green beans on the table.
Bai Li looked at the surroundings, her heart filled with curiosity.
She couldn't immediately tell what kind of food the restaurant would serve based on its decor.
It looks shabby and old. Could it be some kind of private kitchen that has been passed down for a long time?
She turned to look at Guan Cha and asked, "What are we going to eat today?"
Guan Cha thought for a moment and replied, "The cuisine is mainly spicy."
"Sichuan cuisine?" Bai Li nodded, seemingly understanding.
The two of them arrived relatively early; not all the members of the club had arrived yet.
Bai Li didn't know anyone else around her, but luckily Guan Cha introduced them to each other one by one. After they got to know each other, Guan Cha smiled and started the conversation: "Has anyone played in an escape room before?"
Escape rooms, also known as escape rooms, are a type of real-life adventure game that has recently become very popular among young people. Even those who have never played one have heard of escape rooms.
Upon hearing the question about tea, the people present immediately began to discuss it animatedly.
"I'm the typical type who's bad at the game but loves to play. Even though I'm terrified, I still want to play. Some escape room scenarios are really poorly made."
"I've never played any real-life ones, I've only played those puzzle-solving games with my friends."
"You absolutely must visit the real-life locations! Especially the ones with NPCs."
"Forget it, I'm too scared to play. It's too shady, and I heard there are NPCs chasing you."
"Has the junior girl ever played this before?" someone asked Bai Li.
Bai Li was eating sunflower seeds while listening to their discussion. When someone asked her a question, she paused for a moment and shook her head.
She had only heard of it before, and that it was quite expensive to play. She also didn't have any friends to play with, so she had never played it before.
After the Godly Rich System was introduced, I was always busy with other things and didn't think about playing it.
"Great! As a seasoned escape room player, I'll teach you some escape room tips that you'll definitely be able to use next time you play an escape room."
Upon hearing that Bai Li had never played it before, a boy immediately jumped out to speak, looking quite serious. Bai Li listened carefully as well.
Maybe we'll find it useful in the future.
"Once you enter the secret room, be sure to observe the camera and act very scared under the camera. This way, the control center will see it and won't dare to let the NPC scare you."
"When acting in a group, you must go to the very front or the very back, because NPCs specifically target those in the middle."
"And another thing! The most important point is that you must interact with the NPC while running. You can say things like, 'Brother, you can't catch me,' and interacting with the NPC like this will make the NPC chase after someone else."
At first, Bai Li's story made some sense, but the more she listened, the more something seemed off.
Are you even human?
"Junior, don't listen to his nonsense. Provoking NPCs like that will get you hunted down by them."
"Hit him! You bad guy, you're misleading the female students."
Although Bai Li hadn't said anything yet, the others were already helping her teach the person who had just spoken a lesson.
Bai Li was amused and laughed heartily.
Just then, Guan Cha leaned closer and whispered, "Don't listen to his nonsense. If it's your first time playing an escape room, don't wander off. Just stick close to the experienced players. There's usually a control room at the back. If you feel uncomfortable or really can't go on, you can talk to the control room."
Guan Cha's suggestion was quite reasonable, and Bai Li silently remembered it, but she felt that she probably wouldn't need it. She was neither afraid of the dark nor ghosts, and she wouldn't be playing with them anytime soon.
The discussion time passed quickly, and by the time Bai Li came to her senses, the long table had gradually filled up.
Only a few empty seats remain.
Just then, someone else opened the door to the private room.
"Wow! What kind of decor is this? What kind of amazing place did you choose?"
