Chapter 43 - "Friyay Special Mission Week 3"

Zhao Yang opened his eyes and sighed. The man slowly laid down on the bed. He covered his eyes with his right arm.

Zhao Yang tugged the corner of his lips. A bitter smile merged on his face.

"Ha. Jun Banjie. You are right, " Zhao Yang murmured to himself.

"I don't deserve to be happy."

Friday, week 3

06:00 a.m

"Mmm…." Lai Jiayi yawned. The girl rubbed her eyes and turned her body to the left. Her head instantly touched Yaya's body.

! Cold!

Lai Jiayi abruptly opened her eyes and raised. The ice pack on her forehead fell to the bed with a soft thud.

….hm?

Lai Jiayi blinked. The room was still dark, except for the bed area. The faint sunlight shone through the glass ceiling, giving a bit of lighting.

Lai Jiayi looked around her room as she touched her forehead. It wasn't hot anymore. Not to mention that the girl felt super fresh today.

All her exhaustion was washed away by a night's sleep.

'Ah, I think I'm better now.'

"Mmm…" Lai Jiayi stretched. The girl then looked at Yaya. At this moment, the duck had just turned on his system.

'Morning, quack…" Yaya yawned. He floated around Lai Jiayi's head and pecked the girl's neck out of habit.

"Morning– "

"How are you now, quack? Feeling better, quack?" Yaya immediately bombarded Lai Jiayi with questions, not allowing the girl to say her greetings.

Lai Jiayi's lips twitched. The girl nodded and flashed a smile. "I'm healthy now. See? The fever is gone!" Lai Jiayi pointed at her forehead and smiled sheepishly.

Yaya squinted. He touched Lai Jiayi's forehead and scanned the girl's body, not believing Lai Jiayi's words at all. Only after he scanned the girl, he was sure that the girl's temperature was normal.

"Thank God, you have really recovered, quack!" Yaya grinned from ear to ear. The duck was about to congratulate Lai Jiayi for her recovery when an announcement sounded in his mind.

TING! [Good news. Player Xuan Lincheng is eliminated!]

A transparent board popped out in front of Lai Jiayi along with the announcement.

[Total players left: 9.

Week: 3

The last deadline: 9 weeks away.]

...what?

Lai Jiayi's jaw dropped to the bed. The girl abruptly looked at Yaya with her mouth wide open.

"What's this– eh. Xuan Lincheng...she is eliminated?" Lai Jiayi covered her mouth in disbelief.

"For real??"

'So the trap I laid for her last night...is working? That girl fell to the trap??'

"This is true, quack. The announcement was sent around 9 p.m before Xuan Lincheng's shift ended, quack." Yaya nodded. "But since I turned off my system, the announcement just arrived now, quack."

'What to do? Jia will blame herself for this incident. She didn't think her trap would lead to instant elimination.'

Yaya's eyes darkened. The duck floated closer to Lai Jiayi and landed on the girl's shoulders.

"You okay, quack? This is not your fault though, quack– "

"I'm...fine." Lai Jiayi threw her body to the bed while spreading her arms wide. The girl stared at the dark sky with a slight orange-ish color above her.

'Xuan Lincheng...is eliminated. Is it because of what I did last night? I provoke her– wait. So that girl seduced Zhao Yang thinking that he would still be under the aphrodisiac effect?!'

Lai Jiayi touched her forehead and sighed. The girl shook her head and muttered,

"So dumb. I thought you wouldn't fall to that trap but– geez. You actually seduced Zhao Yang…"

Lai Jiayi looked at the sky with a trace of pity in her eyes.

'That girl is dumb. Still, I didn't think she would be eliminated right away. What she did to Zhao Yang must be terrible.'

Lai Jiayi closed her eyes and turned to the left. She then waved her hand, calling Yaya to come closer.

"What is it, quack– "

"Mmmm…" Lai Jiayi just grumbled. The girl rubbed the bedsheet with her fingers before looking up at Yaya, who was still floating above her head.

"What will happen to Xuan Lincheng? She's eliminated. So...she will forget about the game, right?"

"Yes, quack. I'm sure her memory of the game is already gone, quack." Yaya nodded.

"...then…" Lai Jiayi paused. The girl recalled the essential rule of the game.

'If you lose the game, you will also lose one most important thing or person in your life.'

Lai Jiayi slanted her lips. The girl stayed in her position for a few seconds before sighing.

'Should I ask Yaya what does Xuan Lincheng lose as the price of playing the game? But...what if it's something very important? Doesn't this mean...I am indirectly the one making Xuan Lincheng loses this thing?'

Lai Jiayi's heart skipped a beat. A chill went down her spine, and she suddenly got goosebumps.

'No, no, let's not ask. That incident isn't my fault at all. It's all Xuan Lincheng's fault.'

Lai Jiayi raised again and sat down on the bed with her legs straightened. The girl then leaned back to the bed board before looking at Yaya in front of her eyes.

"Let's forget about Xuan Lincheng elimination."

Yaya paused. The duck flapped his wings and nodded. "Yes, let's forget that, quack. Don't be too sad. Life must go on, quack. With this, we know that the elimination thing is real, quack."

"Yeah…" Lai Jiayi retracted her legs and bent it. The girl then hugged her knees while propping her chin on both of her knees.

"Any event today?" Lai Jiayi asked, trying to change the topic when a notification suddenly sounded.

TING! [Friyay special mission week 3! "Get Zhao Yang to Cry." Mission duration: 12 p.m-12 a.m.]
