Chapter 44 - "A Special Item"

Upon seeing the notification, Lai Jiayi almost jumped out of bed. The girl stared at the transparent board in front of her with wide eyes.

"Did I see it wrong? Friyay special mission?" Lai Jiayi blinked fast. Her mouth was still opened wide.

"Today is Friday, quack! Of course, we will meet Friyay Special Mission. That's a weekly event, quack!" Yaya nodded. The duck then reread the notification before plopping to the girl's lap.

"Damn, quack. This week's mission is somewhat hard, quack! It also starts at 12 p.m until 12 a.m. This means you can only try the task when you meet him at the daycare, quack!"

Lai Jiayi gulped at Yaya's words. The girl stared at the duration information and sighed.

"Noon, huh. The event starts at noon! Ughhh, this must be so that Tan Xinya, that barmaid, can join the event too." Lai Jiayi touched her forehead and hit it lightly.

"Yes, quack. And look, the mission is so hard, quack! Making Zhao Yang cry? That's impossible, quack!" Yaya gritted his teeth. He hit the bed with his small fists, trying to throw a tantrum.

'Who the hell can make Zhao Yang cry? At most, only Tan Xinya can do so by making use of the alcohol effect.'

Lai Jiayi went silent. The girl's eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her mouth.

"Well, we don't need to win, right? There's no punishment for losing this event…"

"But I bet the prize for this event is good, quack!" Yaya interrupted.

Lai Jiayi rolled her eyes at Yaya's remark. She snorted.

"I don't believe that. The last Friyay special mission, I got an amusement park instead of something more useful– "

"The last event, the tournament one, Xiu Mei just got a deadline extension, quack. She got three days extra to finish the game, quack!" Yaya spoke until his mouth was full of foam.

He brought his face closer to Lai Jiayi and stared at the girl with his big eyes. "You hear me, quack?! 3 days extension. So when you guys need to win in 101 days, she can do so in 104 days, quack!"

Lai Jiayi sucked in cold air. The girl gawked at Yaya with eyes full of suspicion. "How come that brat got an excellent item while I got something average?"

'If I know the prize is that good, even if I die from fever, I'll still force myself to meet Zhao Yang!'

Lai Jiayi bit her lips, regretting that she didn't win the tournament event.

Yaya saw the look of regret on the girl's face and couldn't help but sigh. He flapped his wings and sat on Lai Jiayi's lap. "Now, you know why we have to win this event, right, quack?"

"...yeah, I know. But...how do I get Zhao Yang to cry?" Lai Jiayi shook her head. "Not to mention, I can only do this later when he picks up Zhao Yun. Maybe only a few minutes!"

Yaya lowered his eyes. The duck trotted around Lai Jiayi's lap.

"Hmmm, the winner can be three players, right, quack? But since this mission is so hard, I think the winners will be less than three…" Yaya mumbled.

"So? I don't think we can even be one of the winners." Lai Jiayi shrugged. "Unless we kidnap Zhao Yang and uses a special item to make him cry– "

"That's it, quack!" Yaya suddenly shouted, startling Lai Jiayi to death. The girl almost fell from the bed straight to the floor.

"You scare me! What is it, do you have any idea?" Lai Jiayi patted her chest while glaring at Yaya.

'If he shouts like that, he should have an idea already.'

"You mention an item, right, quack?" Yaya blinked in excitement. The duck looked at Lai Jiayi with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, I did, but– "

"There's an item that we can use to make Zhao Yang cry, quack!" Yaya hit the girl's lap with his wings.

"What? Such a thing exists?" Lai Jiayi raised an eyebrow, not believing Yaya's words.

'If there's an item like that, all the players will just use it. Easy peasy!'

"It exists, quack. It's called tear gas, quack! We have a close-range type and wide-range. You can just buy the close-range one at the game store, quack!" Yaya tried to convince Lai Jiayi.

"You only need to meet him, and then I'll release the gas, quack. Just make sure to stand a meter away from him so you won't be affected by the gas, quack."

Lai Jiayi listened carefully, and once Yaya finished, the girl sprung out of bed. She grabbed Yaya and raised him to the air.

"Brilliant! That's a good idea! Oh Yaya, how come you are so smart now? Did you hit your head– "

"Ugh, let me down first, quack!!" Yaya flapped his wings and slipped out of Lai Jiayi's grasp. The duck then flew down and landed on the bed.

"I was enlightened because of what you said, quack. This method is the best, quack."

'And not all players will have enough points to buy this item. Their AI might not even realize such a thing existed.'

Lai Jiayi nodded in agreement. The girl raised her fists and tightened it. "Yep, I'm convinced. Let's use that method and win the event!"

'By using tear gas, even when Zhao Yang isn't sad, he will shed tears. The system didn't say that Zhao Yang has to be unhappy while crying. It said we only need to make Zhao Yang cry!'

Lai Jiayi looked at Yaya again, feeling like hugging the duck and rained kisses on him. "You are a life-savior!"

With this...operation 'Make Zhao Yang Cry' officially begins!
