[Ding!]
[Quest Name: Fight in Room 804!]
[Mission Type: Daily Life]
[Mission Reward: Experience +100, Skill Experience+50]
[Accept/Refuse]
Accompanied by the notification of the mission trigger, a semi-transparent mission description box appeared in Xu Bai’s retina.
[Accepted]
Xu Bai’s heart skipped a beat. Upon accepting the mission, he saw it shrink and become a mission-in-progress on the interface. He thought of something and shook his head. ‘It’s one thing to do it, but can’t you tell me when you’d fix this bug that keeps me stuck at this level?’
At the thought of this, Xu Bai felt the need to complain surging in him.
“But…”
He had been complaining about this for many years. Now, the urge to complain was no longer as strong. Currently, complaining had become a habit.
Yes, that was correct.
This system that he had had since he was born had a bug that caused him to be stuck at a level.
[Ding dong!]
[Game Panel Opened]
[Welcome to the Game Life System!]
[Player Name: Xu Bai]
[Title: Federal Feng City Police Department Agent (Deterrence to law-abiding NPCs in Feng City +10)]
[Identity: Feng City Police Department Junior Agent]
[Level: Nine]
[Character Experience: 1000/900 (Reserve Experience: 5.5 million)]
[You have met the experience requirement to level up. Please level up as soon as possible.]
[Skill: None]
[Skill Experience: 5 million]
[After you reach Level 10, you can use your skill experience to increase the skill level you have obtained to increase the power of your skill.]
[Game Currency: 2 million]
[After opening the mall module in the game, you can use the currency you have to purchase all the items and props you need in the mall…]
[…]
Following Xu Bai’s thoughts, a basic panel appeared in Xu Bai’s vision.
The panel was not big, and it was divided into two parts.
On the left was a projection of Xu Bai’s current appearance. Above his head, it read “Level 9”.
The part on the right showed the relatively simple Character Experience, Skill Experience, and Game Currency information.
At the bottom right corner of the panel, there was a button that displayed ‘Upgrade’ but this upgrade button was grayed out. It could not be activated.
Every time Xu Bai clicked, he would receive a notification that said [The player is detected to be under Novice Protection and cannot level up manually. Please level up after receiving the Main Mission.].
Xu Bai had been getting this notification every time he clicked on it for almost ten years. He had been searching for a solution to this for many years, but he still could not figure out how to accept this [Main Mission] that the system referred to.
Xu Bai knew how to accept a mission in games.
After walking around the Novice Village, he would just need to walk around to find an NPC with a mission that he could accept above their heads. No matter how inconspicuous they were, he refused to believe that he could not find the main mission.
Yet…
This was a game, but not really a game.
He had no idea how to accept this so-called Main Mission in real life.
Xu Bai felt like a player in a game who was trapped in the Novice Village. It was as though he had reached the maximum level by farming low level Lantern Spirits, but still could not find a way to leave the Novice Village.
He did not even have a way to lodge a complaint in the system or connect to some sort of customer service.
As such, Xu Bai adopted a different approach—he would take whatever mission that came his way:
From helping old ladies cross the road to helping lost children find their parents…
From fighting off sexual wolves on the bus to the roar of injustice on the road…
From helping girls by pretending to be their boyfriends to chase away creeps, to hoping that the lie would become true instead…
Xu Bai worked very hard to complete the missions but he desperately needed to find the Main Mission needed to level up.
However…
After working hard for a few years, he saved up a few million in Upgrade Experience Points and a few million in Skill Upgrade Experience Points that could be used as two points, as well as a few million in Game Currency that was useless because the mall was not open.
Xu Bai not only failed to see even a shadow of his main mission, but even mistaken as a modern day Dumas to some people.
God knows Xu Bai was only doing missions because he did not know how to refuse.
In fact, Xu Bai had even thought about giving up at the beginning. He was too lazy to spend any more effort to find clues for the Main Mission. Yet, completing missions had started to become a habit after completing them daily.
When he was young, he realized that the system that he had might be some kind of game. Xu Bai also liked all kinds of online games but he could barely be considered a professional gamer. As a hardcore player, Xu Bai firmly believed that after any game was designed, there was absolutely no such thing as a certain death or a certain failure.
But, what if?
What if his current predicament was similar to the?Sword God of Ten Mile Slope
that he once encountered on the game forum? Maybe the reason why he was trapped was because he could not find the key to leave the Notice Village.
So…
Despite this, he would continue to complete his missions and convert his experience into reserve experience, firmly believing that one day, everything would be revealed.
After all, there might be an item that could save his sister in the mall mentioned by the system.
It was also because of this that Xu Bai never gave up hope. If he gave up hope, then his sister might not wake up.
Xu Bai thought to himself as he looked to his destination not far away. He blinked and minimized the character interface projected in his retina.
At that moment, the police control center sent some relevant information over.
“Eh?”
Su Meng, who was driving, turned on her phone and looked at the message. She handed the phone to Xu Bai and said in surprise, “Sir, look, it’s someone familiar.”
Hearing Su Meng’s words, Xu Bai took the phone.
Most of his salary and part-time income had gone into his sister, Lil Wei’s medical bills, so he didn’t have a smartphone.
Xu Bai looked at the message sent by the control center. It was a message from the tenant of Room 804.
The first thing he saw was…
It was a man with snake-like eyes and even looked a little wretched.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.
They knew each other.
Liu San.
This name was quite well known. However, it was well known for the wrong reasons.
Xu Bai and Su Meng had just dealt with this guy yesterday.
